Chloé Griffin: Edgewise: A Picture of Cookie Mueller

Fitting that as the Pope of Trash rides into town, Austin’s feminist bookshop boosts a bio about one of his earliest stars. Full name Dorothy Karen, “Cookie” Mueller was a Baltimore native who played perfectly into John Waters’ underground universe in hits like Pink Flamingos and Multiple Maniacs. She even inspired Female Trouble’s title, as Waters credits the phrase to her off-the-cuff remark while hospitalized for pelvic inflammatory disease: “Just a little female trouble, hon.” Biographer Chloé Griffin stops in with archival materials used in the writing of her Cookie chronicle and – alongside Lex Vaughn and Diana Welch – performs readings from the new book and Cookie’s original 1965 diary. – James Scott
