The Look

One of the final pages of my Neuroadversity show booklet centres around the look of the show. I included pictures of films I have watched that have had an influence over my style such as "Pink Flamingo's", "Trog" and "Heathers".

The first film I chose is "Pink Flamingo's", a transgressive John Waters film starring famous drag queen Divine in the starring role as a notorious criminal determined to protect her title as "The Filthiest Person Alive". It is complimented by a delightfully cheap, 1960's look.

The second film is "Trog" a campy B horror movie featuring Joan Crawford's final performance in film. I love every second of Crawford's candy coloured pantsuit wardrobe combined with awful special effects and a distinctive pastel aesthetic.
