Last night, I rummaged through my clothes closet for a T-shirt I have kept many, many years. I’m guessing it dates to 1986 -or 87. A handful of T-shirts were made to publicize Divine’s coming to do a show at the old Pegasus Lounge on Liberty Avenue.I was dating Rick, a bartender there at that time if my memory serves correct.

I have always thought Divine was amazing.  A true superstar performer, even if she never had the type of name or brand recognition of a Madonna or a Cher. So my ReelQ pick for today is the film, “I am Divine” screening this evening at the Pittsburgh LGBT Film Festival. Here’s the trailer:

To all my readers, post comments here about the film or about Divine. OK? And say hello if you are at the Harris Theater tonight. I’m going to try and wear my Divine T-shirt!
