John Waters...

Last night Stu and I went to see John Waters - film-maker, author, wit, raconteur and trash king - at the Royal Festival Hall.

We were treated to ninety minutes of stories in his own inimitable style. It was always fun, occasionally saucy and never far from outrageous. Blossoms, blouses, and dolphins will never have the same meaning again.

He told about his favourite newspaper headline (after Ike Turner died): "Ike Beats Tina - To Death"

If you get a change to go see him. Go!

John Waters...

Last Friday Darren and I went to the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's glitzy South Bank to see auteur John Waters.

JW is a filmmaker par excellence who exercises creative control over his work and has a strong personal style. And what a fantastically twisted, sick, subversive and funny style it is. Be it in his films, his art or his writing.

He was on stage and in conversation with Phillip Hoare to discuss his life, work and his new book Role Models.

He was very funny. Very. All too short at 90 minutes though.
