Carpet Burn: We Are Divine

19/07/14: WE ARE DIVINE! So sayeth the Eagle, Amy Grindhouse and Pecadillo Pictures who threw an “I Am Divine” post-premiere party for John Waters’ touching bio tribute to his friend/muse and our fatass fairy goddamn-mutha, Divine.

Hosted by Luke Howard, a panel of four judges led by Princess Julia, presented a buffet of all-you-can-eat bovine beauties hoofing across the stage for a chance to win a generous £500 for the best ‘Divine inspiration’ backed by DJs Simon Kilner and Little John.

Babs Johnson, Dawn Davenport and Edna Turnblat stomped, growled and chewed their way towards getting a new pair of cha-cha heels. The competiton was grueling; the judges deadlocked. It was up to the audience to choose overwhelmingly: Gloria Stitz!

“Divine Gloria” grabbed that cash like the last slice of pizza and headed straight to the bar to celebrate the start of an illustrious career. The secret to her success? “Wearing pink knickers and being fat! Oh, and I blew the judges. Three of them are still under my dress. You can quote me on that.”

No worries. Divine had worse things in her mouth.
