Description
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, modelling and glamour, too.
The second instalment of John Waters' classic Trash Trilogy, Female Trouble explodes conventional norms of good behaviour (and art) and is all the proof you'll ever need that sometimes being bad can feel so, so very good.
