Back in 2015 we started Queerguru aiming high as one of the very first exclusive interviews we filmed was with Hollywood star and matinee idol Tab Hunter. He was so totally charming and generous , and he exceeded every expectation we had of him.  One of the surprises of his career that we discussed was how he stepped away from playing squeaky clean jocks in 1981 to co star in POLYESTER a John Waters movie alongside the great Divine.  A Waters movie could be described in many ways but  certainly  not squeaky or clean.

Also in that movie was a John Waters regular and favorite ….Mink Stole …. who in fact has starred in all of Waters feature films.   So we jumped at the chance of an interview with Mink when we found out she was heading to PTown … our home town … and also summer home of John Waters too.  She is coming as the Special Guest at a Fundraising  Banquet for  Provincetown Tennessee Williams Festival a major cultural institution  especially as Williams had both resided here for some years but also wrote some of his best work here too.

It was an opportunity to good to waste, and though we  didn’t throw ‘shade’  I did learn a great deal including the fact that although she and John both live in Baltimore the actually met here  some 60 years ago in front of Provincetown Town Hall.  She miss remembered that the benches there are locally known as the ‘meet’ rack NOT  by their real title, the ‘meat rack! 

So we got to talk about  Mr Waters of course, her own experiences acting in two Tennesse Plays, her rather fabulous music album, and gaining queer icon status for playing Aunt Helen in the whole Eating OUT queer film franchise  AND how John wants to make one more film.
