		Although I could not get enough of Edith Massey as the egg lady Pink Flamingos or as Queen Carlotta in desperate living, her role in Female Trouble made me feel for her as I was not laughing with her or could not bring myself to laugh at her.
		Edith Massey as the egg lady is so funny that I can't help seeing her scenes over and over again.
		Getting to see Edith Massey in the roll of the evil queen and villian is also quite hillarious (especially if you've watched all his earlier films...) and getting to see what she does with the castle goons is even funnier...

		Divine was not too crazy about the idea of starring in the sequel; carrying Massey around on his back in a baby pouch was not his idea of a good time, but when everyone else was up for the gig, Divine relented.

		I never saw Waters (or Massey or Divine for that matter) - he lived (or probably still lives) in a tower apartment near the Inner Harbor - by that time he was bored with punk though I had been told that in the late '70s he'd show up for shows.
		Edith is about as far from punk as you can get, but she realized it was a good gimmick and would make good copy for journalists who were always searching for a new angle to write about her.
		Since Edith is the first to admit she can't sing a note, her show had the appeal of a Mrs.

		Waters' Dreamland-era regulars Mink Stole and Edith Massey appear as Elmer Fishpaw's cornrowed secretary and Francine's retarded friend Cuddles, respectively, and Mary Vivian Pearce and Sharon Niesp turn up in small parts.
		The filthy living conditions in Mortville are only made worse by the despotic Queen Carlotta (Edith Massey), who imposes absurd regulations for her own amusement and executes those who disagree with her.
		Edith Massey is great fun as Queen Carlotta, her "outsider" acting style perfectly suited to the obscenely declamatory ruler; Mary Vivian Pearce is rather touching as the star-crossed Coo-Coo, infected with rabies by her own mother, and Susan Lowe brings enthusiastic menace to the role of Mole McHenry.

		Born in 1918, Massey had already spent over five decades plying her wares as a B-girl, tap dancer, thrift store owner, and barmaid by the time she made the acquaintance of John Waters.
		According to legend, Waters met Massey when she was working as both a Baltimore barmaid and the owner of the thrift shop Edith's Shopping Bag, and was taken in by her particular brand of charm.
		Revered and reviled as the most disgusting movie ever made, Flamingos featured Massey in fine and unforgettable form as Mama Edie the Egg Lady, Divine's playpen-bound, egg-sucking mother, a characterization made even more endearing by Massey's reported inability to remember her lines.

		To the citizens’ dismay, however, vicious Queen Carlotta (Edith Massey) rules the kingdom with an iron fist.
		Their flashback sequences are among the funniest moments in the movie and the "dog food" scene made me laugh out loud--but the "squish" scene at the end of the wrestling match almost made me pee my pants, it was so riotously funny!
		The lesbian bathroom bit was another memorable sequence (Pat Moran--kudos to you for a brief but deliciously creepy turn as the "bathroom pervert"--and to Van Smith for making her look that way).

		There she falls in love with and marries a hairdresser, whose aunt (the astonishing Edith Massey) keeps trying to fix him up with guys ("I'd be so proud if you was a fag," she says).
		Eventually Dawn's marriage breaks up and aunt Edith keeps on bugging into Dawn's life, going so far as to throw a glass of acid in her face.
		But the beauty salon folks believe that the scars make Dawn even more beautiful and they conceive a bizarre nightclub act, billing Dawn as "the most glamorous woman in the world." However, Dawn's grown daughter (now played by Mink Stole) has now joined the Hare-Krishnas, causing Dawn to flip out and kill her.
