If you need me to tell you any more about Jackie Susann’s dishy doll dross, take it as a sign you’ve been locked in the closet too long, dah-ling. But read Stephen Moser’s rundown, “Sparkle and Shine,” of what makes the film such a camp classic. Then note that this screening is a special tribute to Moser, who has been very public in his weekly Chronicle column, “After a Fashion,” about his diagnosis of terminal prostate cancer. Joel Mozersky will emcee the show, and there will be games, singing, and dancing, along with an after-party at midnight at Oilcan Harry’s with Mozersky and Gretchen Phillips. Those not attending the show can also make donations through PayPal using moserfund@gmail.com or through Falcon Bank in Stephen’s name.
