5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone is a Beauty Queen
Divine and Nell Campbell are only two small components of this ultra-camp glamour fest. The names of some other mentionable performers/contestants: Miss Piss, Miss Windscale Nuclear Reactor, Miss Carriage (Miss Linda Carriage) and the ever lovely Miss Peru. You've gotta get up pretty early in the morning and bone up on your Pop Culture from the late '70's to appreciate...

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT WORTH IT!
An "alternate miss world" video with host Divine. Divine isn't funny and the competition has no talent. Divine fans beware!

Divine and Nell Campbell are only two small components of this ultra-camp glamour fest. The names of some other mentionable performers/contestants: Miss Piss, Miss Windscale Nuclear Reactor, Miss Carriage (Miss Linda Carriage) and the ever lovely Miss Peru. You've gotta get up pretty early in the morning and bone up on your Pop Culture from the late '70's to appreciate this one! If you're one of those lucky fanatics of Camp metaphor you'll be in heaven.

Beauty Queen is Dragumentory par excellence! This is not a Divine movie, though she does lend her considerable girth as the "contest's" Mistress of Ceremonies. A punch in the face to all "Beauty Contests" and a perfect expose' on the excesses of the '70's entertainment/gay subculture. It's British so the humor is more viscerally well-placed than in-your-face. You've gotta hunt through this one but it's worth it for the divine social metaphor it presents.

It's not perfect, but it's perfect for you! Don't look for production quality here anymore than you would in "Eat Your Makeup". Look for stunning Beauty Contestants, A perfectly droll and esoterically dry and irreverent running commentary from two "reporters" of the event and a winning Beauty Queen riding on a Donkey with hysterical results.

A perfect picture for any self respecting counter-culture cynic!
You are what you eat!
