A Little Bit of Terrific

Seems I'm a bit behind the times in the movie area. I'm not a big fan of going to the movies because I can't do anything else while the movie is playing so, mostly, I watch movies at home. My sister has been telling me about The Adventures of Priscella, Queen of the Desert for some time.

Today, I found it on "instant" Netflix and oh my.....
It is all camp, funny and poignant.

The actors are way beyond fabulous.

It came out in 1994 (on this one, I am WAY behind)

so you may have already seen it.

If you have, watch it again. It will cheer up a "drag" sort of day.

If you haven't seen it yet, go get it and enjoy some great entertainment!

The outfits are fabulous and who doesn't like a dose of

Abba's Dancing Queen?

(If I could stand music on blogs, I would load up that song just to get

my point across so be thankful...)

The actors are wonderful:

Hugo Weaving (The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, etc.),

Guy Pearce (LA Confidential, Rules of Engagement)

Terrance Stamp (General Zod in the Superman movies)

During the 2000 Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Priscilla was part of a parade of images of Australian popular culture. A refurbished and decorated 1980 Ford Denning (the same make of bus used in the movie) featuring a giant steel stiletto heel which extended from and retracted into the roof -- inspired by some of the scenes from the film -- was paraded around the Olympic Stadium. The bus was also accompanied by several stiletto heels tricycle floats and drag queens donning big wigs as a tribute to the film's international success and the local gay community. (from wikipedia)

Terrance Stamp is amazing in this movie.
No one did drag better than these two.

"You're a little bit of terrific."
