Next stop… Whores!
Mountain of the Queens
Did somebody say Jacqueline Susann? Well, I did.
Once upon a time, a little drag queen named Barbara Parkins from Palmdale left her humble digs and ventured north to the Big City, San Francisco. Soon, she settles in and makes some friends. Stopping at nothing, the little (big) drag queen works up the ranks and makes it big with her drag friend Sharon Tate (played by Nick and later murdered by the Manson family…sorry girl, it’s semi-biographical). Tate is a bewitching beauty who longs to be taken seriously. Also along the way, the little (big) drag queen meets Patty Duke (played by Benutty) who’ll stop at nothing to get her name on the bill. As their careers rise and fall, the starlets turn to the comforts of sex, drugs and romance–a sure combination for drama, disaster and dildos.
That’s right bitch. It’s VALLEY OF THE DOLLS! And I’ve rented it to play in the background while we get ready on Saturday for our Extravaganza Eleganza.

Two things:
Did you rent Valley of the Dolls or Beyond the Valley of the Dolls – that pic above is from the latter and is a much more amazing ricockulous movie.
The book is one of THE best things I have ever read and has nothing at all to do with either of the movies besides being about starlets on drugs.

Haha. Oh 3rin. Of course, you would pick up on that!! LOVE IT.
I couldn’t find a cuties enough stock photo from the original movie and chose the ricockulous choice.
I’ve never read the novel. Perhaps, I shall put it on my list of things to read this summer.
Now that you are free from the tranny mess that was your roommate, where are you living now? Still in the Bay Area, I should hope.

Of course! I’m in the Mission with all the cool kids. But we’re probably moving again in a couple of months cause the current place is too small. Anyway, I shall be attending on Saturday, so I’ll see you then. Also – I have the book, but it’s in storage
Library probably has it though. Check it out (literally). So good.
