Fandom name: To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar
What makes it great: Ok. Ok. This is a fandom of one and I am singlehandedly going into the new millennium cross my heart. This movie is about Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo and they are drag queens on a road trip and get stranded in a small town and punch the bad guys and make the good guys fabulous. I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE ISN'T MORE FIC FOR THIS MOVIE.
Here is Vida Boheme:
Here is Noxeema Jackson:
Here is Chi-Chi Rodriguez:
They are FABULOUS.
The pairing of my heart is Vida and Carol Ann, because Carol Ann is played by Stockard Channing and, well... here is a very poor quality video of some STEAMING HOT SUBTEXT HOLY GUACAMOLE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmVNfp18O1s
Also there are cameos by Robin Williams and Ru Paul.
Ok, it is a little problematic - it came out in 1995 and some of the language used, while used by people who identified with it at the time, is a little shocking to hear now. Content warning for domestic violence, and for threat of homophobic and transphobic violence although everyone turns out ok.
But look, this is a movie about three drag queens stranded in a small town and nobody dies and there is a happy ending! And there are fabulous costumes and people being loved for who they are and really I don't even know what to tell you, this just needs a lot more fans. A lot.
Where to find it: It's a couple bucks on youtube or amazon.
