"Oh Edie! I'd Be So Proud If You Was A Fag!"
Edith Massey was "THE" Virgin Mary in this Modern life. No one knew it, but she showed the world what the true meaning of love was. You can actually see her halo hovering above her head when she sits in the play-pen in "Pink Flamingos" and shouts, "Oh Mr. Eggman. I love you so much! Oh Babs! What if there were no more eggs?" Our own Virgin Mary never got this far. What about Queen Carlotta from "Desperate Living"? "Would you like some pizza little birdy?" or "Oh! Ready, aim, FIRE!" The best Catholic-ismatic moment had to be her pleading with her son 'Gator' in "Female Trouble". "Oh Gator. I'd be so proud if you was a (...) and had a beautician boyfriend. I'd never have to worry! THe woRLd of heteroSexuAls is A sick AND boRIng LIFE!" Her delivery was priceless! If you ever had the chance to meet her or see her in one of her live acts, you would know what a kind and sweethearted person there was behind those over-sized (...) and matching tooths. Yes, tooths. This tape will probably never make it to DVD, as it is too short, as was Edie's life. God bless her for spreading her love around Baltimore and little did she know, the rest of the Goddamned world!

God Bless Queen Edie
WOW... A short documentary about one of the most lovable stars in cinema... I really really liked this. Edith Massey is definately one of the most awesome ladies ever to roam the earth. This is a surprisingly sentimental documentary and extremely interesting. If you dont like the Egg Lady, Queen Carlotta, Cuddles, or any of her other characters...you should be smacked upside your head! Edith Massey was and always will be an icon for underground/indie cinema. So much class, so little teeth... But a heart of purest gold and a gentleness about her that makes you wish she were your mommy! I know I'll be feeding her Eggs someday in the big playpen in the sky, reciting Humpty Dumpty and laughing with glee. I wish she were still alive so I could give her a great big hug and tell her the wonders she has added to the word "film". I know shes up in heaven, dancing and singing with David Lochary, Cookie Mueller, Divine, and Maelcum Soul. They are all extremely missed. EDITH I LOVE YOU!

Worth it if you're a fan
I actually went out of my way to see this several years ago when it wasn't available on VHS, I had to rent the special edition of "Polyester" on disc to see it. It was definitely worth it. John Waters had some pretty entertaining people in his Dreamland group but Edith Massey was definitely the most loveable. I'm glad this warm hearted documentary short (15 minutes, but worth it) was made before she passed away. There's some great footage of her talking about her past as a bar-girl in her endearing way. You'd never think hearing someone with 6 teeth talk would be so enjoyable. I miss her almost as much as I miss Divine.
