8. #Showgirls I don’t care what anybody says, I think this is cinematic genius! Nomi Malone wants to change her life, and boy does she. At 26, I too ran away to Las Vegas (with the help of a dear friend and mentor) to live out a quarter life crisis. Although glitz and glamour never found its way to me, I used the time to learn Photoshop and develop Alonica into something more than a D-class drag queen. After four months of working in two gay porn shops, a Motel 6, waking up naked on a chaise lounge in Caesars Palace and getting robbed as a finale... I left and have no desire to return. If Nomi and Cristal taught me anything, it’s that I may never be a diamond, but I’m one hell of a rhinestone and sparkle with the best of them!! #moviesthatmoldedme
