John Waters and Meals to Die For

John Waters and Meals to Die For Last night at the The New York Society for Ethical Culture, Baltimore dandy and film provocateur John Waters performed his scandalous one-man show “This Filthy World” to 600 enraptured ears (that’s 300 people, guesstimating). He spoke of his early days as a guerrilla filmmaker (he once spent ten hours on a farm filming his friend Divine roll around in pig shit while farmer and wife presumably watched from inside, too terrified to come out), his drug of choice, (poppers of course), and how the Broadway revival of his film Hairspray made him richer than all of his films combined. He also spoke of the death penalty (“they should at least let you choose what drug you want to OD on”) and the concept of the last meal. Waters, in a low, defiant voice, claimed that his would be “one leaf of arugula." After the jump, see what some of our most beloved mass murderers chose to nosh on before the switch got pulled.
