celeb news 40 years ago, Divine was body positive before it became mainstream

[GlamSlam]

I see a lot of people giving heeps of praise to the likes of Sam Smith and Lizzo for being body positive and out there, but nobody did it better than DIVINE in 1983! (S)he had it all, the attitude, the confidence, the charisma, and most of all....zero f*cks given.

(S)he also was a lovely person, and had a great sense of humour and really knew how to camp it up. She even starred in a few movies such as Hairspray (with Debbie Harry) achieving cult celebrity status.  Divine may be gone but (s)he's certainly not forgotten.

 

Another icon worth celebrating...

Divine had such a cool speaking voice - I am waiting for a popstar to sample Divine in a song one day. The song I’d love to hear sampled the most is “Female Trouble”. Could be fabulous.

Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble are among the best films of all time. John Waters and Divine were a godly duo

Divine was so talented!

I remember John Waters talking about her and how she had a really bad weed addiction and would binge eat like insane amounts of junk food  Queen! No one will ever do it like her

TELL THEM.

I still haven't watched the "I am Divine" documentary....

 

 

Is it any good?

Finally watched that ^documentary yesterday and really enjoyed it. There was a lot of things I didn't know, tbh. What a star.
