Queen

Last Week I brought a copy of The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert over to watch with some friends who had not seen it. They were distracted and not as into it as they should have been if they knew the amusement that was in store for them. I finally hit upon a brilliant plan to get things started, we would all put on dresses and then watch the movie in them. People got a little too distracted by the dressing up part but once the movie started people really got into it.

Except Sam, he wouldn't wear a dress no matter how we tried to convince him . . . and it is surprisingly hard to wrestle someone into a dress! :-p

The funniest part was when people realized that one of the drag queens was Agent Elrond Smith himself, Hugo Weaving and screamed as their mind broke! Even funnier for the fact that it happened more than once; it's an impressive testament to how well people can suppress realizations they find disturbing (and also to Mr Weaving's impressive range as an actor.) As seen on the right in a dress made of sandals:








Maybe if you ask real nice (and I can get them from people) I'll post pic(s) from that evening.
