Too bad Divine wasn't in it. That would have made it even better. At least we got Edith Massey as the Queen.

BTW, did you know that Divine had some Top 40 hits in Europe and the UK? He was quite famous there in the discos there.

Never saw the movie. She should have a “Trump can grab my pu**y” shirt on. Thanks for posting this. Queen Karen for sure. Was the character portrayed, real, and an ancestor of Margery T. Queen?
