Life (almost) impersonates starving female impersonator’s art
July 24th, 2008 by Cliff Bostock in NewsBig news at the Ansley Publix. I was paying for my stuff when I noticed a lot of commotion near the manager’s office. The bag boy (or whatever they call them now) informed me that they had caught someone shoplifting and were calling the police. It seems the man tore open a package of meat and stuffed his pockets full.
This of course instantly reminded me of the famous scene in John Waters’ Pink Flamingos (1972) when Divine shoplifts a steak she later feeds to her family back at the trailer. I could only find a clip without the original dialog but please don’t watch this if you have delicate sensibilities….and I know some of you do.
