FOF #1465 – Coco Peru is a Very Nice Person Oct 20, 2011

Show notes

Let’s face it, not a lot of drag queens are the sweetest of sweethearts but Coco Peru, she’s a very nice person.
We had an awesome time last summer hanging out with Coco Peru, the star of such loved campy films as Trick and Girls Will Be Girls. All throughout the weekend, everybody wondered why she kept saying that people always tell her “she’s a very nice person.” Is Coco Peru really a very nice person or is she trying to put us under her drag-notic spell?
Join us today as we talk with the hilarious Coco Peru. Coco’s put together a brand new one woman show, “There Comes a Time” where she looks back at 20 years of being a drag queen entertainer and gives us a peek into her future.
Listen as we talk with Coco about her shocking near death experience as a teenager, before he came out to his parents, the impact of reality TV shows on solo performers, the power of dragnosis and why there will be so many puking scenes in Girls Will Be Girls 2012.
Plus–
Caution Exotic Animals- a man sets a zoo of wild animals loose and then kills himself.
Michelle Bachman’s insane, nautical themed fashion.
And our spoof video “A Gay Soldier Comes Out to the Pizza Man – LIVE” goes viral, leaving some confused people wondering why is Randy Phillips ordering a pizza all the way to Afghanistan?

FOF #1455 – Girls Will Be Girl's Evie Harris Thinks She’s Famous Oct 07, 2011

Show notes

One of the most beloved films featuring drag queens of all time is Girls Will Be Girls, where three actresses at various stages on the Hollywood food chain navigate the minefield of love, aging and ambition. The film features the raunchy ensemble of Coco Peru, Varla Jean Merman and Evie Harris, all drag queens who had separate careers but were brought together like Charlies Angels to create a dynamic comedy trifecta.
We heard that after this photo was taken, Evie Harris had a three way with Shields and Yarnell. Photo by Dennis Hensley.
The entire project was a way for openly gay TV writer Richard Day and his friend Jack Plotnick to vent their fRustrations as gay men working in Hollywood.
Although Girls will be Girls was a hit with critics and audiences, the making of a sequel was cost prohibitive. Now, thanks to digital video cameras and fundraising tools like Kickstarter, fans raised the funds needed to create the apocalyptic sequel coming out next year: Girls Will be Girls 2012.
Today we are joined by Jack Plotnick, the man behind Evie Harris sharing with us the anguished journey of actors in Hollywood trying to find meaning in their lives and the origins of Evie Harris, a washed-up, alcoholic, aging C-List actress.
➤ What Coco Peru and Varla Jean Merman have to say about their co-star when she’s not around.
➤ How being a sloppy drag queen got him working with Sir Ian McKellen on the Oscar nominated film Gods and Monsters.
➤ Learning how to love acting and auditions as an actor.
➤ And daily affirmations actor and trans folks can say to find the joy and purpose in life.

FOF #1381 – Six Degrees of Lady Gaga May 16, 2011

Show notes

If you thought Lady Gaga’s song Born this Way sounded a lot like Madonna’s Express Yourself, it may in the blood.
Celebrity genealogist Chris Childs has traced the family linage of both the Material Girl and Momma Monster, and it turns out that Lady Gaga and Madonna are real life kissing cousins, more specifically ninth cousins once removed.
Childs traced the relations of Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone and Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta back to a French immigrant farming couple who came to Quebec in the 1600s.
So where does Celine Dion sit in the family reunion? Our guess, the kids table.
Congratulations Don Lemon! Don also has great taste in neckties.
Join us for this an all the hot news
CNN Anchor Don Lemon comes out of the closet as a gay man in his new book Transparent.
Jon Hamm bangs his nuts against Jimmy Fallon on SNL as the real life Ambiguously Gay Duo.
Local paper confuses drag queen Coco Peru for comedian Kathy Griffin.
A British 12 year old boy wears a skirt to school because boys aren’t allowed to wear shorts.
Feds to auction the Unabomber’s belongings online.
Ana Catarina Bezerra, a Brazilian accountant wins the legal right to get off at work.
and Smallville, the popular series that revitalized the Superman franchise calls it quits after a solid ten year run.

FOF #1178 – Queen Joan Sings to the Animals Apr 21, 2011

Show notes

All Hail Queen Joan, the boogie woogie queen from the Bayou! We are thrilled to have discovered musician Joan Atwell’s YouTube channel, Ivory Tickler Mama, where she plays love songs on her accordion to all the animals on her farm.
Think of Joan as the horse whisperer but instead of whispering to the horses she’s banging on her accordion and wailing out her favorite ditties to all the cats, dogs and cows.
Joan claims her menagerie of animals love her music and we do too! We love hearing her animals bark and moo along in a wonderfully wacky chorus to her music. It’s just a matter of time before Joan’s wild videos become a viral hit.
While her husband works a long hard day in a chicken processing plant, Joan also jams on the piano with her mom, who she calls momma Kat, or is it her cat named momma cat? We’re not sure.
Listen as Madame Joan talks about her creative life as a video blogger, eating beaver and singing telegrams as Elva, Elvis’ kissing cousin who taught him everything he knows.
Joan also pulls out the accordion and wows us with some great American classic tunes.

FOF #1342 – Christeene is the Queen of Trash Mar 11, 2011

Show notes

"She's a very freaky girl, the kind you don't take home to momma."
When we told our listeners that we were going to Austin, Texas, everyone said “Bring back Christeene,” one of the trashiest drag queens in the Southwest.
The creation of Paul Soileau, Christeene rose out of the skanky waters of Hurricane Katrina like a greasy Venus floating in a garbage can.
https://christeenemusic.com
She’s a lost child, with the soul of killer shark, chomping through preconceptions of drag and entertainment, and audiences everywhere love it.
Christeene just got back from from sold-out shows in Paris, New York and San Francisco. She’ll be performing at SXSW and her new video single “Bustin’ Brown” about the birth canal and the booty will be featured as part of SXSW Midnight shorts.
Join us as Paul talks about how Christeene is taking over his life and soon will take over yours.
Plus–
➤ Austin has a Queer Bomb. Dissatisfied with the organizer’s attempts to over-commercialize Pride, alternative LGBT folks started their own celebration, with many more to come. They aren’t terrorists, they’re just folks having fun.
➤ Lady Gaga and Target part ways over the retail giant’s relentless support of anti-gay politicians.
➤ A singer may face 20 years in prison for editing a video to make it look like kids were watching him perform a lewd song.
➤ Cosmo the toe eating dog is up for adoption.

FOF #1295 – Cameron Esposito: Lesbian in a Bridesmaid’s Dress Dec 01, 2010

Show notes

The point of formal wear is to make everyone look good, but for some people, wearing a gender specific outfit makes their skin crawl.
Our comedian friend Cameron Esposito recently took a lipstick bullet and femmed it up for her sister’s wedding, with hilarious results.
Today, Cameron joins us to talk about hosting a burlesque show, life in the circus and her Nancy Drew like experience of discovering her friend’s secret sex dungeon.
How will the White House top last year's ginormous AIDS Ribbon this year?
It’s December 1, World AIDS Day, and to mark the occasion, many celebrities have signed off social media to raise money for AIDS, declaring themselves dead, at least on the internet.
The goal is to raise a million dollars to bring the celebs back from the dead but how much to keep Kim Karsashian from ever going back on Twitter again?
It’s also the first day to vote for Feast of Fun in the 2010 People’s Choice Podcast Awards in the “Best GLBT” category and the top prize of the “People’s Choice.” We can’t win without your help. Thank you!
Mariah Carey has nothing on pop singer Erika Jayne who posed for her CD cover with a rhinestone covered .44 Magnum gun.
JOIN US FOR THIS AND ALL THE HOT NEWS:
➤ Good News Everyone! Civil Union legislation in Illinois passes the first hurdle.
➤ Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell? Don’t Care! The Pentagon’s much anticipated official official report finds the overwhelming majority of active service people don’t mind if the ban on gays serving openly is lifted.
➤ Beer for Dogs.
➤ Designer Sneakers for Facebook junkies.
➤ For the lesbian who has everything, get her a pair of Teva stiletto heels with velcro straps for the holidays, perfect for going from mountain climbing straight to the red carpet.

FOF #1160 – Christeene’s Ugly is the New Beautiful Mar 20, 2010

Show notes

Watch out! Christeene is driving her way to you.
https://christeenemusic.com
Paul Soileau’s drag character is exploding across the South, exploding onstage with her back up dancers as they spill out a hot mix of raw sexual shamlessness and original rap music. Is it too much to say that Christneene might replace Britney Spears as the new pop sensation from Louisiana?
Today we continue our shows from the heart of Texas with gender bending drag terrorist Paul Soileau. Paul shares with us his journey becoming both the outrageous Christeene and his other drag alter-ego, the more conservative Rebbecca Havemeyer.
Listen as Paul chats with us about Christeene’s chaotic sensibilities, his videos banned from YouTube that are making sites like Funny or Die rich, and the crazy things they eat in the bayou.
Plus hot news:
➤ A prankster overtakes WallMart’s intercom system, announcing “all black people must leave immediately.”
➤ Ampo, Indonesia’s soil snack food, eaten for generations in the village of Tuban, really is soil baked into squares. It’s eaten as a painkiller and to improve the skin of developing babies. Will we see it at Whole Foods anytime soon?
➤ Prinny the little cat from Australia that learned how to swim.

Deep in the mountains of rural Tennessee there is a thriving, vibrant network of communities of queer people whose origins go back to the beginnings of the modern gay rights movement with the Radical Faeries.
Planet IDA, Short Mountain Sanctuary and Pumpkin Hollow are just some of the places where folks live in an open and free environment with the goal of stimulating personal growth and creativity.
Today we’re talking to two well known residents of IDA, Tom Foolery and Maxzine Weinstein from the Eggplant Faerie Players, the community’s traveling performance group.
