Hairspray

For what it's worth, Rachel is seeing the movie again right now for the third time in three days. She's paid for the last two herself. At full price.

We all saw it together on Sunday night. Steve says it's the best musical he's seen.

I also enjoyed it, particularly given the time frame, a month after my birth, and the cross cultural storyline.

It was fun and triumphant and managed to totally avoid the angst which could have easily resulted from a storyline involving a pleasantly plump girl trying to compete with the beauty pageant types.

The John Waters' touches, all the little incongruities and outlandish lines, simply sealed the deal.

Rachel has just returned and informed me that she's seeing it again on Friday . . .
