SHOWGIRLS: A STORY OF HOPE

I have the most unforgivable obsession for Showgirls. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I could watch it a thousand times and never get tired of it. So when I got wind of a sequel,(thank you andy) well, that wind picked me up and danced with the spirits of my forefathers in ways I never knew possible. In other words I pretty much pulled out my 8" heals and started working the Goddess routine like it was 1995 all over again! UGH!!! I don't even know what to write. I'm so excited!!! This post is going to make no sense to all the people out there who will never, ever read it. So Everyone. What can I say about this film?? I mean to be real, my thesaurus just doesn't have enough synonyms for 'ridiculous perfection on a platter of trashy trashy lusty DIVA greatness'. Any suggestions? I know what your thinking, the word your looking for Kolsrud, is 'Showgirls'. So wanna hear the news? Wanna hear the REAL NEWS of the day??? Of course you do, watch this miracle unfold, ready?... uh, Showgirls: a story of hope. SHOWGIRLS: A STORY OF HOPE!!!! Flabbergast me into the fire! The only tiddle-bits of info I'm getting from around the inter-web is very, very limited. We have the Title: Showgirls: Story of Hope. Yes, thats right 'SHOWGIRLS: STORY OF HOPE'. Now your asking, what else did you find Kolsrud? what else? I'm glad you asked. Besides the title I also happened to stumble on the tagline: - "Girls hot like hellfire... Business cold as death" Yes Please. YES PLEASE, MORE NOW!! So, there will be updates as I get them. I'm really hoping that this isn't a hoax and that the dream is still alive. Ahh,Hope. This truly will be a story of Hope. I posted a bunch of pics from the original masterpiece below. Haven't seen it? You're dead to me.

Wait - real quick, here are a few details about why the Original Showgirls makes my heart feel warm and fuzzy:

- Professionalism- these girl worked 16 hours days filming the dance scene all the while wearing high heels

- the only time they complained was during the scenes with the monkeys, who constantly stared at their bare breasts (yes you read that correctly)

- Elizabeth Berkley beat out Charlize Theron, Pamela Anderson and Jenny McCarthy for the lead

- Gina Gershon beat out Sharon Stone and Angelina Jolie for the supporting part (though she refused to recreate the Sharon Stone leg crossing scene from the Epic Film - Basic Instinct

- Elizabeth Berkley looses her shit like none other: she truly believed in this film. I mean why else would she do it for $100,00 and then spend 1/6 of the movie completely nude?? Dancing! licking stripper poles.. damn. DAAAAAAMN!!! Girl is keeping her shizm REAL.

Plus, Mack Daddy Paul Verhoeven was the first director to ever show up at the Razzies to personally accept Worst Director and Worst picture (only 2 of the films 13 nominations)
