To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar Page #8

Synopsis: After jointly winning a local drag queen pageant in New York City, Noxeema Jackson and Vida Boheme win the right and are given the round trip airfare to compete in the Drag Queen of America pageant in Hollywood, California. Noxeema sees herself as the next Dorothy Dandridge, who bucked the trend of most black American movie actresses of her time by never playing the slave house maid. Vida's style reflects her past of growing up in upper class suburban Pennsylvania. One of their fellow New York contestants, Chi-Chi Rodriguez, is a straight-talking but naive and inexperienced drag queen. Seeing that Chi-Chi needs some drag queen confidence (despite her bravada), Vida and a reluctant Noxeema decide to cash in their plane tickets and buy an older model Cadillac convertible and drive to Hollywood with Chi-Chi. Their drive takes them through much of the country where alternate lifestyles are less tolerated than they may be in New York or Los Angeles. The three have an extended stay in small

- You all grow wild around here.

This reminds me of Princess Laritza

in Revenge Of The Wench.

Everybody thought she was dead

but she had taken

this magical concoction...

- Anyway, bye-bye.

- Bye.

Vida...

Come with us. Please?

Oh, Lord.

If you had any idea

of how many nights I've lain awake,

just thinking about

how to get out of here.

But it's my home.

Besides, I got these girls to raise.

I know.

I love you, Miss Vida Boheme.

I've waited my whole life to hear

those words said to that name.

And I'm very, very, very happy...

that you're the one to say them.

What...?

I have a lovely idea.

I want you to have this.

I don't know if

you know who she is...

It's Julie Newmar. I always thought

she was so statuesque.

My feelings exactly!

- Well...

- Well...

Vida!

I don't think of you as a man.

And I don't think of you

as a woman.

I think of you as an angel.

I think that's healthy.

(Announcer) Ladies and gentlemen.

The winner of this year's

Drag Queen Of America contest...

(Noxeema) Step four. Larger than life

is just the right size.

(Announcer) Miss Chi Chi Rodriguez!

Presenting the crown,

Miss Julie Newmar!
