“An anatomically incorrect rock odysseyRaised a boy in East Berlin, Hedwig undergoes a personal transformation in order to emigrate to the U.S., where she reinvents herself as an “internationally ignored” but divinely talented rock diva, inhabiting a “beautiful gender of one.””
Funny and fast and a musical and exaggerated and includes animation and flashbacks. Perfect over the top cinema!

Where have I been?! This is the BEST movie I’ve seen in a long time. The tone is so nuanced, and the careful choices, excellent writing and great performances make this feel like a movie that could have been made yesterday. Sadly, the story feels too relevant today (the world slips into chaos and the internet’s our cabaret!).
Liza Minnelli is positively DAZZLING. Okay, I get it now!!

Written and starring playwrite and drag queen Charles Busch. This. Movie. Rules.
It's campy, it's dirty, it's gay!
it's a sendup of 1960's Gidget films but you don't need to be familiar with the genre to enjoy this. Also baby Amy Adams is in it!

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
