"We were stupefied that he died. I've never gotten over the shock of it. I’m still shocked he’s dead. I wake up sometimes and I’m amazed by that." John Waters.

A moment of silence for a hog princess, please! Baltimore’s finest export, the fabulous Divine (né Harris Glenn Milstead, 19 October 1945 – 7 March 1988) died on this day precisely 37 years ago aged just 42. John Waters’ toilet-mouthed muse and leading lady of choice, cult cinema actor / actress, drag monster, raspy-voiced hi-NRG disco chanteuse, hybrid of Jayne Mansfield and Godzilla designed to scare hippies, all-round freak diva extraordinaire and eternal role model for punks, queers and misfits everywhere - Divine is the mutha of us all! Do something extra filthy in his memory today! Pictured: austere portrait of Divine by the great Peter Hujar at the Metropolitan Museum, 1976.
