In which we thrust along with thrusting queen Nomi Malone on her thirtieth thrusting anniversary. Almost universally panned upon release, Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls (1995) opened thirty years ago this coming September 22nd.

A friend of mine coined the term “find your joy” … Continue reading Michelle Monday
