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.
New Line Cinema, 1981. Given out at the movie theatres that showed this now-cult film directed by John Waters that starred Divine and Tab Hunter, the front of the card shows color images of actors from the movie while the back has ten 'scratch-'n-sniff' numbers with text reading "Wait! Odorama Wait! / Do not scratch until you receive instructions from the film." A number would flash on the screen, prompting the viewer to scratch his card to smell what the fictional characters on screen were smelling - and because this was a John Waters film, the scents were glue, pizza, and feces, among other gross things! (Please note these cards have not been scratched, but they have wrinkle and bend marks throughout.)
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.
