Movie Set Travel: Hairspray is From Baltimore
Get out your over-teased wig and lip gloss and get ready for Hairspray and John Travolta in a full-on female body suit. The popular John Waters film gets remade and released today to all your 60s dancing heart.
Appearances are made by everyone, including Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes and Queen Latifah, and we're sure it's pretty true to the original version but looks a lot better on the big screen.
As we told you before, this version was shot entirely on set in Toronto, we offer you some fun things to do where the story is set, Baltimore!
Where To Stay: Celie's Waterfront Bed & Breakfast -- Check into this small cozy inn right on the waterfront and relax with your own private fireplace, hydro-thermo massage tub and access to the inn's private roof deck. Another perk? Parking is available a block and half away for just $7.00/day.
Where To Eat: The Brewer's Art -- This Mt Vernon establishment manages to pack romance in with their beer. There are two lively bars inside, however, the restaurant portion remains quiet despite the boozing locals. The menu is always changing and locals love the food. If you go, try the Resurrection, an amber ale.
1106 N. Charles Street, TEL: 410-547-6925
What to See: American Visionary Art Museum -- Head to this museum, the only of its kind in the country, where you can view works of art by visionaries - ie. those with no formal training. The current exhibit is entitled Home & Beast and focuses on the world being "one small hometown." Visionary stuff.
