Polyester

In Odorama!!!

Polyester stars Divine as Francine Fishpaw, an unhappy housewife whose porno-theater owner husband's adulterous behavior drives her into alcoholism. To make things worse, her daughter Lulu gets knock-up by Bo Bo (Stiv Bators of Lords of the New Church), a juvenile delinquent and her son Dexter, is the infamous Foot Stomper wanted by the law. To top it off, her mother is trying to drive her mad and embezzle Francine's money by using her slimy boyfriend (Tab Hunter) as bait. Luckily, she has Cuddles (Edith Massey) who is a true friend and the only person in this rotten world she can count on. 

Polyester is one of my top favorite films by John Waters (Pink Flamingos). Drawing inspiration from his idol William Castle, John Waters cleverly adds his own gimmick creation to the movie called Odorama. The film has classic one liners and also stars Mink Stole.
