Curio: Cry Baby, 25 Years Later
Tuesday, April 7, 2015 at 7:22AM Alexa here with your weekly film curio cabinet. 25 years ago this week John Waters' Cry Baby was released to the sound of a collective box office yawn. But of course the whole pageant was engineered by Waters to become a cult favorite of the future. All the pieces were there: Johnny Depp licked his way out of the teen heartthrob hole he dug himself on 21 Jump Street, Traci Lords made getting vaccinations sexy, Iggy Pop took a bath, and Kim McGuire bravely put on her Hatchetface after Divine left this word for a better one. In honor of its anniversary, here are some handmade goods celebrating the film that launched a thousand lonely tear drops.
Illustrated ode to Wanda available here.

Cross-stitch art available here.
Embroidery hoop available here.
T-shirt available here.

'sometimes shook up old ladies get cut!'
Hatchet Face was and is a gift. I regret missing the short lived stage musical.
That is one of my favorite film from John Waters. It's a musical done right where it has elements of trash with songs that are quite catchy.
