shameless pretext

Luckely THE TOPP TWINS also have a mustache act, because to be honest this is just a way to promote this hilariously funny documentary:

In a world where activist lesbos with acoustic guitars are often ridiculed, the Topp Twins use humor to their advantage. Genuinely good-natured, these Kiwi cowgirls make absolutely no apologies for their beliefs and sexuality, but at the same time appeal to a wide audience. An audience that will soon include the northern hemisphere. Because, as Jools Topp has said, “Sometimes getting people to laugh is the most political thing you can do”.

The film 'Untouchable Girls' follows the Topp twin girls from their happy childhood on a Waikato dairy farm - where they grew up singing to the cows - to the Territorial Army where they quickly became the Vera Lynns of their battalion. This is the hilarious story of the world's only comedienne, yodelling, lesbian, twin sisters; the movie 'TOPP TWINS, Untouchable Girls' won awards at the Toronto International Film Festival and the BFI London Gay & Lesbian Film Festival 2010, UK. A moving and often very joyful account of 2 legendary lesbians, and every lesbian person... every person should see this often funny film documentary, directed by Leanne Pooley. Part concept film, part biopic, part historical record, part comedy, the Topp Twin sisters share their duo journey (from 'coming out' in kiwi country, to Jools' recent brush with Breast Cancer ) with much laughter, honesty and wisdom

• Comment of  fan Charmaine Pountney (Educator): The fact that they are 'out' lesbians has been immensely important for a lot of people. When I was young the only role models for lesbians were women who had murdered or had been murdered or women who had committed suicide. Poor sad twisted people. And nobody could call the Topp Twins sad or twisted. So they're bringing into the open that healthy cheerful rural cowgirl image. (They've) Just made a huge difference to a lot of us.

The documentary is not  innovative in the way that it is made, but enormously gratifying on a humanitarian scale!
