bought a 16mm camera with no sound and began to turn Eat Your Make-up. took the title from a slogan of candy shaped like a lipstick "make-up that will devour." In the movie Soul maelcum was part of a deranged governess who, with the help of her boyfriend of elegance battered (David Lochary), young models kidnapped and forced to march to the death in front of their friends fanatics. Marina played the character models kidnapped, dressed in all his favorite pop-art mini-dresses and gave a 'great interpretation and painful. Mona Bonnie and interpret the other models victims. Divine played one of the guests from the crazy party, kicking and screaming against the models, as long as they do not collapse cut short by fashion. Most of the film was shot in the garden in front of my parents' house, or "piece of Dreamland," as we call it.
As I was assembling the film, the star, Marina Melin, went a bit 'out of my head and was admitted to a private hospital for a rest period. LSD, amphetamine, and the pressure of fashion all together contributed to its collapse, but I think the sound Eat Your Make-up it was the most responsible. Every day I tried to sync the sound recorder with film but it was almost impossible to complete. I did go to the initial segment all day for two weeks in a row, trying to make it fit right, and his monotonous tone began to hypnotize everyone. "... Make up Make up Make up .... ... Oh, God, Make up ...." actress moaned endlessly while licking and caressing powder compact, lipstick and eyeliner brush. Even the fountain-head downstairs said: "What is that verse?" I thought someone was giving birth or something, but I did not mean anything. "Finally, Marina said:" John, I finally ate my make-up. "I realized that something was wrong when he began to get evening gowns and tiaras just to go down in the morning to take the garbage.
Navy used to call the hospital and I was glad to see who had attacked the poster presentation of Eat your make-up room in the day. The other patients looked at the photo of Marina curious chained to a wall wearing his dress Histoire D'O, and when she claimed to be a movie star, all replied giggling, "Oh, sure." It was as if Eat your makeup was cursed. I did participate in a tender film student in college of art in the place, but the jury began to shout: "Enough!" arrived halfway through the film. They called the church where I planned to present it and said to the reverend who was "pernicious" and not to show it. Reverend refused to cancel the opening night, so the judges of the film festival office called those taxes which they live and they said they could not do charge admission. Instead of selling tickets we were allowed to collect donations at the end of all three events if they had sold out, but since the film had offended so many people are not our Box Office was not nearly as high as it should be. None of the local film critics reviewed and the only publicity he got was the heading "Scenes" by Howard Smith on "Village Voice." A few weeks after the presentation maelcum Soul died. The death stunned all of us maelcum such was her influence on our attitudes towards the world. We did direct off at his funeral in the midst of the riots arose following the death of Martin Luther King and we were shocked to see it prepared for the funeral without her usual makeup. All we wanted to secretly sneak into the coffin and cover wrinkles but her mother was able to comfort those who were bereaved by pulling out photographs of glamorous of maelcum and saying, "maelcum was everything I wanted to be in my life, but I have not had the courage to be."
