Angie Stardust has a lot on her plate, running a boarding
house called Pension Stardust filled with misfit lodgers: an erotic trapeze
duo, a magickal group therapist, assorted layabouts, nymphomaniacs and Lila (Jayne County), a Southern blonde who dreams of Hollywood. These tenants also staff Angie’s fast food enterprise, Burger Queen. But when Lila gets knocked up by a Communist who promises to make her a superstar on East Berlin television, the real havoc ensues. Rosa Von Praunheim directs this mostly American cast in a trans musical spectacular that has been described as “Hedwig and the Angry
Inch… in reverse.”
 
The event will also feature a complimentary Dirty Look publication with
writings by TRANSLADY FANZINE publisher, Amos Mac, Bruce Benderson Justin Shock and more. Inaugural issues of TRANSLADY will be available for sale before the official launch at the New York Art Book fair the following weekend.
