"I've got more legs than a bucket of chicken!" As we say goodbye to Pride Month, let's revisit one of the most important films in homo history:1995's To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. The lineup of sexy A-list actorshave all gone nude, and we've got the sexy pics to prove it!
Just one year after The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and one year before The Birdcage,blockbuster (it spent two consecutive weeks at number one at the box office)To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar was another much needed celebration of gay culture in the tumultuous1990's. While gay dramas such as Philadelphia (1993) were equally important, by not highlighting the tragedy of the AIDS crisisTo Wong Foo and its contemporaries reminded mainstream audiences that gaydom wasnot something to be mourned. It's fucking fabulous, obvy!
InTo Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar the stigmas of being gay in a homophobic society are very real, but it's through comedy and a hilarious, dedicated cast that the absurdities of our culture are highlighted. Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes) and Vida Boheme (Patrick Swayze) are two glamorous New York City drag queens who takescrappy newcomer Chi-Chi Rodriguez (John Leguizamo) on their cross country trip to the West Coast. While waiting for their car to get fixed after breaking down in a rural town, our queens use their fabulousness to improve the lives of the conservativeinhabitants. The unforgettable interactions show how acceptance and understanding between people of all walks of life is possible. Among the wigs, feathers, and size 14 heels (we hope)are unforgettable lines that helpto educate audiences on gay culture.
