Film Art: Welcome to the 60's Edition

As we wind down our seemingly endless coverage of Hairspray here at Movie Dearest, here are a few odds and ends leading up to its debut this week on DVD, capped off by a great caricature of Tracy and Edna by Jonas Bergstrand for the New Yorker.
  • The Long Beach Blade's Chris Carpenter looks around our crazy world today and asks, "Where is our real-life Tracy Turnblad?"
  • On a less serious note, this Hairspray drinking game was created for the original movie, but I think it will work just fine with the 2007 model.
  • And if you can't wait 'til Tuesday for the DVD, the movie's official blog has a detailed review posted, and you can also see the complete deleted scene featuring the cut song "I Can Wait" over at EW.com.

UPDATE: Broadway World has another Hairspray DVD clip, the "alternate ending" wherein *gasp!* Velma gets arrested and hauled off by the cops!
