Ever since I had the awesome chance to see Lou Adler’s Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains a few weeks ago during The Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Film Comment Selects Series, I have wanted to post the trailer.  I however have not been able to think of a good reason to do so until today when I read fellow TakePart blogger E.A. Hanks’ post about Riot Grrrls.

Like Hanks says, “Riot Grrrl focused around women’s groups, whether it was bands or fan zines or consciousness raising, coming together and finding new ways of discussing sexism, male hegemony and the cultural wasteland of music made by women for women.”

And that, I believe,  is reason enough for me to post this trailer and for you to seek out this amazing film:

It is in fact , not a waste of time at all - and more than that, it features a cameo from Brent Spiner(!!!)

And like Hanks suggests, takepart by checking out the Rock and Roll Girls camp which teaches young girls to write and perform in their own rock bands, building confidence and self expression. Long live Riot!
