Even (or especially) in 2013, it does not disappoint think of a queer On the Road, but with less existential torpor. Still, that treacly film holds up as an interesting and shockingly human adventure story starring John Leguizamo, Patrick Swayze, and Wesley Snipes as three gregarious drag queens trekking across the country and inspiring a small backwoods town to change for the better. Masterpiece is perhaps a stretch since under all that pancake makeup is a treacly film with sickeningly sweet characters. It’s been nearly 20 years since these career girls went forth and scandalized the nation and perhaps it’s time we re-examine the cinematic masterpiece: T o Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.
As the summer heat continues to climb and we pack up the land yacht for a July 4 road trip, we’re reminded of our cinematic predecessors and gay guardian angels: Miss Noxeema Jackson, Miss Vida Boheme, and Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez.
