About this item

by John Waters (Author)

"Burroughs famously dubbed Waters the Pope of Trash. Female Trouble, we might say, is his Summa Trashologica."
--Ed Halter, The Criterion Collection

It all goes to hell when Baltimore bad girl Dawn Davenport doesn't get the cha-cha heels she's been demanding for Christmas. In this hilarious, irreverent, pyrotechnic melee of high-trash hijinks, Dawn ruins Christmas, skips town, and embarks on a wild ride that involves hitchhiking, robbery, murder, pregnancy--and, of course, modeling and glamour, too. The second installment of John Waters' classic Trash Trilogy, Female Trouble explodes conventional norms of good behavior (and art) and is all the proof you'll ever need that sometimes being bad can feel so, so very good.
