Original New Line Cinema Special Size Poster (17×22) for the John Waters crime comedy, DESPERATE LIVING (1987)—starring Liz Renay, Mink Stole, and Susan Lowe. Subversive by nature, early Waters’ movies are purposely shocking—if not repulsive. Every single character is this film is an unequivocal sociopath. Mink Stole is positively unbelievable in her role—seething with neurotic dementia from the start. Although perhaps tasteless and certainly outrageous, the film is ultimately warm-hearted and uproariously funny. Originally folded, this very rare poster is now stored rolled and is in fine condition.

Original 1997 Japanese Re-Release Poster (20×27) for the John Waters cult classic, PINK FLAMINGOS (1972)—starring Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivien Pearce, and Mink Stole. Although this film is considered by many to be one of the more disgusting and revolting pictures ever made, it does have panache. It has a freewheeling sense of no holds barred assault on bad taste that borders on innocent fun. Since the film’s release in 1972, it has become a rite of passage for those testing their own boundaries of decency. The plot revolves around a throw down challenge to Divine’s supremacy as the filthiest person alive. Beneath this seedy exterior, however, some have seen a brilliant and biting satire of our obsession for fame and lengths some will go to achieve it. This original Japanese re-release poster for the 25th anniversary of the film’s release is folded once in the middle and in very fine condition.
