When supermodel/agency operative Starrbooty (RuPaul, as fabulous as ever) learns her niece has been kidnapped by her archrival, Annaka Manners, Starrbooty’s only option is to go undercover as a street hooker to rescue her. The only snag in our heroine’s plan is that in order to infiltrate the prostitution underworld she has to gain street credibility by going “all the way” with the johns.

RuPaul as Starrbooty is sexy, sassy, and salacious—a show-stealing diva who handily takes center stage in this farce, despite antics that would push another actress into the fringe. But topless victims, flatulence fetishes, and flying schlongs are no match for the grand presence of RuPaul.

This movie is jam-packed with delicious dialogue, insane characters, outrageous costumes and gratuitous hair and make-up, making it one of the most outrageous and colorful films ever put to the screen. RuPaul says: “The goal here was to make an exploitation film that was part Russ Meyer, John Waters, and The Naked Gun and we succeeded.” And how! Word.

Actor RuPaul will be attending a post-film Q&A.

Starrbooty Karaoke After-party: Goose Island Wrigleyville (3535 N. Clark St.)
A model going undercover as a prostitute! What could be more inspirational for an after-party? Local Brewpub Goose Island will open its Wrigleyville doors to the fabulousness of Starrbooty following the screening. Whether you want to belt out “Suddenly Seymour” or “Come to My Window,” this karaoke after-party has something for everyone—even a “Supermodel” singing contest! Goose Island Beer Company will be providing appetizers and their locally brewed beer and soda.
