Returning to Ellensburg with a gender-bending, fire-breathing and tassel-twirling music video is Leah Meyerhoff, the award-winning director of last year’s EFF success, Twitch. The new girl in school is thrown into a topsy-turvy madhouse of high school hellcats. The cheerleaders are drag queens, the nerds are nymphomaniacs, the punks breathe fire, and the prom band is none other than the all-grrrl, queer-post-punk phenomenon Triple Creme. Meyerhoff enlisted the brightest and most buoyant of New York’s burlesque scene to pull off this prank.
