His first feature film No Skin Off My Ass, was enough to garner notorious avant-garde fag film-maker Bruce LaBruce international acclaim as director and budding superstar. In his latest film, LaBruce again stars and directs. Bruce (played by the director), maker of and star in a series of art- and porn-house hits such as My Hustler, Myself, Ride Queer Ride and Pay Him as He Lays, is - metaphorically - down on his ass. He once modelled himself on the all-time greats, Elizabeth Taylor and Sandy Dennis, but now he has sunk to be no more than a raving gutterish parody of Norma Desmond and Edie Sedgwick. His only chance is to grab his last chance of becoming famous: Bruce teams up with Googie, an avant-garde film-maker and dyke. Googie deals Bruce the final bow when she reduces him to the role of stand-in butt in a scene with her new discoveries: the Friday Sisters, a dildo-wielding dike-duo of serial killers.
