Storyline
After jointly winning a local drag queen pageant in New York City, Noxeema Jackson and Vida Boheme win the right and are given the round trip airfare to compete in the Drag Queen of America pageant in Hollywood, California. Noxeema sees herself as the next Dorothy Dandridge, who bucked the trend of most black American movie actresses of her time by never playing the slave house maid. Vida's style reflects her past of growing up in upper class suburban Pennsylvania. One of their fellow New York contestants, Chi-Chi Rodriguez, is a straight-talking but naive and inexperienced drag queen. Seeing that Chi-Chi needs some drag queen confidence (despite her bravada), Vida and a reluctant Noxeema decide to cash in their plane tickets and buy an older model Cadillac convertible and drive to Hollywood with Chi-Chi. Their drive takes them through much of the country where alternate lifestyles are less tolerated than they may be in New York or Los Angeles... Written by Huggo

Trivia
According to John Leguizamo in his autobiography, his frequent improvisation angered Patrick Swayze so much that Swayze tried to punch him in the face. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: On the movie poster, Vida, Noxeema and Chi-Chi are seen in a somewhat brand new blue Cadillac. But in the movie the Cadillac they drove in was yellow. Also on the movie poster, Chi-Chi is wearing a yellow and pink dress, but in the movie at the drag queen contest, Chi-Chi's dress was green and pink. See more »Crazy Credits
