This weekend I've been very boring. I've spent the weekend doing chores and cleaning. I'm not very domesticated but when we get to the point we can't see the floor on our bedroom because of clothes and paper I find it's time to do a little tidying. Luckily this weekend has been cold and rainy so I had no excuses not to stay in and do a little house keeping.
Whenever I'm cleaning I have to have something on the TV to distract me. It can't be something I haven't seen before as then I'd end up sitting down and watching the whole thing, but it has to be engaging enough to distract me from the job in hand! My go to film for this scenario is possibly my favourite film of all time, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. I love it. It's such a fun film, and if you haven't seen it I recommend it.
It was released in 1994 (when I was only 10!) and I probably first watched around 10 years ago. I can't count the times my housemates have come in and seen me hogging the TV with it on. The story follows two drag queens and a transsexual who leave Sydney and head to a resort in Alice Springs to perform their show. Priscilla is the name of their bus. We follow their journey across Australia as they try to get on with the locals, and more importantly each other. It's a road trip movie with excellent costumes (the best flip flop dress you'l ever see), an imaginative cast and the perfect mix of comedy and drama.
It's a comedy with heart, and perfect for a rainy weekend.
