I’m a reality tv junkie plus this is one of my fav films. I’d go in a heartbeat if there was a convention!!!
where’s Naomi?
He name is spelled Nomi- (no me)
Don’t you know, there IS a sequel being made, starring Rena. And if there ever were a Goddesscon, I WOULD SO BE THERE. How fabulous would that be? Someone make it happen!
I would do something like this if I had the means to do it.
We read about the saequel on a German news source but we haven’t had it confirmed.
I just got tickets for a Christmas Eve showing of Showgirls at The Triple Door in Seattle… David Schmader will be doing hilarious commentary of the film as it happens – it is going to be amazing. 🙂
WAS HE SERIOUS??? Or, I mean, am I serious? Oh,… yes 😉 SHOWGIRLS forever!!
Love,
Penny Hope
aka Rena
Hello! Rena sent me here to check out her new vid, and I am thrilled to hear talk of GODDESSCON (even fantasy talk.) I’ve always wondered about putting together a symposium of Showgirls-related art: The Upright Citizen Brigade’s THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER, Chicago’s Sock Puppet Showgirls, my annotated screening, maybe a staged reading of the maybe sequel to Showgirls someone maybe wrote, more more more….It could be amazing….
I’m all for it! But I need to be credited with coming up with the name “Goddesscon.” The advantage is also you don’t need to secure the rights for it darlin’.
