The best thing about Baltimore in 1952? It ain't Vinnie Barbarino in drag.

A quick post today- Call me the gayest gay in Gaytown, but I'm totally seeing this one opening weekend. Normally, I hate musicals, but John Waters' original "Hairspray" with a then-unknown Ricki Lake and the late Divine is now (only 20 years later) a camp classic. Classic enough, that is, to be converted into a Tony Award-winning Broadway show...and converted back to a movie.

Granted, the idea of Travolta in a fatsuit and a dress is beyond unsettling, but c'mon...it's gotta be better than Travolta in "Battlefield Earth".

Yes, this makes you very, very, very gay. Remember, I'm a guy who actually MAJORED in musical theater. A guy who MAJORED in musical theater is calling you gay.
But seriously, I'm seeing it too.
