I remember as a kid watching music videos (the one programme that wouls show them once a week... Welcome to Finland in the 80's...) and Divine's "I am beautiful" would play quite frequently. I was blown away, I thought she was fabulous! I didn't have a concept of drag, I just found her extremely interesting and realized she stood for something different from "everyone else".
I think the seed for facination for all things drag and queer was planted then.
Tonight 'I am Divine' is screening at Rakkautta&Anarkiaa at Andorra at 9pm and after that there is a drag show at Dubrovnik featuring, among others, my drag mother Lola Vanilla and Abortia Clinique.
