Divine [Milstead, Harris Glenn]. (1945–1988) & Waters, John. (b. 1946). Signed Scratch-and-sniff Odorama Card from "Polyester". Uncommon color scratch-and-sniff Odorama promotional card for the 1981 film Polyester, 11 x 5 inches, signed on the reverse in black felt tip, “Love, Divine" and "John Waters" in black ballpoint ink. Rather toned, otherwise in fine condition.
A marvelous item signed by the American actor, singer and drag queen better known by his stage name Divine and best known for his collaborations with filmmaker John Waters.
Polyester is a 1981 American comedy film directed, produced, and written by John Waters, and starring Divine, Tab Hunter, Edith Massey, and Mink Stole. It is a send-up of the melodramatic genre of women's pictures, particularly those directed by Douglas Sirk, whose work directly influenced this film, as well as a satirical look at suburban life in the early 1980s involving divorce, abortion, adultery, alcoholism, foot fetishism, and the religious right. Polyester was filmed in Waters' native Baltimore, Maryland, and features a gimmick called "Odorama", whereby viewers can smell what they see on screen using scratch and sniff cards, in a stylistic tribute to the work of William Castle, whose films typically featured attention-grabbing gimmicks.
