Kinky Boots Review
Yesterday we went and saw the film Kinky Boots. firstly, I had a rare experience, I travelled on a very big bus, something I havent done for over a year. what an experience. We arrived mid afternoon at the cinema for this showing, and the cinema was almost deserted. There were about 12 other people in there, and I think I was the youngest, and Linda the second youngest, It was much like a pensioners day out and I expected toffee rustling denture munching old biddies to be running up and down the isles. Anyway, the film is in my opinion is a good representaiton of a transgendered / crossdressers life, with an exciting spin on how you can actually convert total biggots to accept people who are different. The film is not spectacular, but in my mind its educational and entertaining, and to me thats important in a film. Living here in Northampton, as I do, I was pleased to see that they used more than just the Trickers shoe factory in the film, there are several scenes shot in the market square and elsewhere around the town (some of which I didnt know, but hey, Ive only lived here 5 years). They also spent time in London supposedly, in a drag Queen establishment, and I spent all my time looking to see if I recognised anybody there, and yes, I believe I did recognise a well know Tranny from Northampton who appears in many TV items (television - get your mind out of the gutter please !) .
Linda and I actually met them one night a few years back for a tranny get together, and both Nikki and his wife are very pleasent, but to us it looked like a business and making money, so we havent been back since as it was all very highbrow, nice but a bit pricey.
So if you want a laugh, and want to see what its like to be a tranny, then go see the film, it will open your eyes to many things we have to endure on a personal day to day basis.
