I agree, Steve: teenpopbimbogoddessmonsters suck.
However, I do give props to Vitamin C, if only because Colleen Fitzpatrick was the whiny and moderately evil Amber von Tussle in Hairspray. Sure, it’s a flawed movie (frankly, my interest in John Waters tapered off after Polyester), but I can’t help smiling when one of Mr. Waters’ hand-picked freaks (e.g. Divine, Mink Stole, even Rikki Lake) makes a ripple in mainstream cultcha.
