If I could choose any person, still living, to spend the day with, it would probably be John Waters. We could hang out in Baltimore for the day and hit all of his favorite trashy bars and go shopping for ridiculous clothing. And so, just as he restrained to kiss Little Richard's shoes upon meeting him, I would have to restrain myself from kissing his shoes if I were ever in the same room as John Waters.
His book reads as if he was writing just for you, just having a conversation with you at the bar. It's endearing and also well written. Favorite chapters include: Leslie, Baltimore Heroes, Rei Kawakubo, Bookworm, and Cult Leader. Also, I had known John Waters was an avid reader, so it was really great to hear about some of his favorites in the Bookworm chapter, and throughout the rest of the book, too. There's about ten more books I have to read now because they all sound so fascinating! Thank you John.
