FOF #1160 – Christeene’s Ugly is the New Beautiful
Christeene is exploding across the South in a hot mix of raw sexual shamlessness and original rap music. Today we’re continuing our shows from Austin, Texas with the man behind the mad woman, musician Paul Soileau.
Plus: A prankster overtakes WallMart’s intercom, Indonesia’s soil snack food, and Prinny the little cat from Australia that learned how to swim.
Watch out! Christeene is driving her way to you.
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?
And Prinny the little cat from Australia that learned how to swim.

Queerty’s Take on the SXSW Panel
How Can We Shift the Focus of Queer Media From Homophobes and Lady Gaga To Actual LGBTs?

Looking around the SXSW Interactive’s first-ever LGBT panel, “Engaging the Queer Community”, [sic] I saw a shrunken…

How gay community and the interwebs are enjoying a more than civil union
BY KATE X MESSER
Fausto Fernós
Many a late night was spent AltaVistaing, typing in letters, words, phrases. What was I searching for? Resonance? Connection? Community? Luv? Similar seekers in the ether? “Lesbian Web pages.” “Dyke Austin.” “Queer Texas.”
Two important things happened in the mid-Nineties: I came out, and so did the Internet.
As Web ubiquity and gay cultural acceptance have each evolved in the 16 years hence, their realities, in my mind, are forever interfused. The rise of the Internet kick-started a coalescence of worldwide queer community. My personal coming out experience was certainly enhanced by the emergence of online communities – as were the experiences, connections, livelihoods, and survival of queers across the globe. And that’s still true for so many people.
“There are still places that exist where you can be fired for being gay. It boggles my mind,” says Trish Bendix, 26, Chicago freelance writer, blog editor of Logo/MTV’s AfterEllen.com, and panel moderator for SXSW Interactive’s Engaging the Queer Community, the first concertedly LGBT-themed panel ever at SXSW Interactive.
FOF #1159 – Heather Gold Is Gay for the Internet
Today we kick off our series of interviews from deep in the heart of Texas in Austin during SXSW with comedian Heather Gold.
Listen as Heather talks with us about her talk show Tummelvision, the queering of this year’s conference, how Sarah Palin works the internet and why entertainers need social media to keep their audience.
Comedian Heather Gold is gay for the internet, and for a whole lot of other things.
On her weekly cutting edge show on the art of social engagement, Heather discusses politics and relationships with web celebrities. The unusually named Tummelvision refers to the Yiddish word, Tummler which is an entertainer or master of ceremonies who encourages audience interaction.
Today we kick off our series of interviews from deep in the heart of Texas in Austin during the South by Southwest Interactive Conference.
As one of the creators of Equality Camp, Heather works to bring tech experts and activists together to organize the gay marriage movement.
Listen as Heather shares with us her take on the queering of this year’s technology conference, techno chickens, how Sarah Palin works the internet and why entertainers need to embrace social media to keep their audience.

Yeehaw! We’ve been having a grand time meeting lots of great people and making some really great connections at the South by Southwest Media Conference (SXSW) in Austin, Texas. As part of the conference Fausto Fernós moderated and spoke at “Engaging the Queer Community,” a panel dealing with the issues that come up for LGBT bloggers and content creators (like podcasts and video blogging.)
Obviously, we only scratched the service in the hour long session, but the response was overwhelming. As the first ever queer panel of its kind for the 23 year old conference, it was a long time coming.
According to the organizers of the conference, the only reason a session or panel on LGBT online issues hadn’t been done before is because it never was submitted by anyone. So props out to Trish Bendix from After Ellen who had the idea, got all the panelists together and pushed for it to happen!
Being a part of this landmark session is important for the health of Feast of Fun as it introduces us to new partners, listeners and readers, but also because it allows us to share our expertise with others for increased visibility for gay people in not only at tech conferences, but on the internet at large.
We’ve lined up interviews with some of the hottest talent SXSW and Austin have to offer-
• Kerthy Fix- director of the brand new documentary that just premiered at SXSW- Strange Powers: Stephin Merritt and the Magnetic Fields.
See the trailer-
• Paul Soileau- actor and film maker with an outrageous drag alter-ego Christeene.
• Heather Gold-comedian, speaker, and solo performer.
We also want to give a big thanks to Orbitz for helping with our travel costs in getting us to Austin.
Orbitz has a new program that if you select two LGBT or HIV/AIDS charities when you book through them, they’ll donate to that organization. It’s a win-win when you book your next trip.
