FOF #171 - Sparkle, Sparkle Little Star - 10.11.05

Podcast
Both choosing to enjoy each others company
over the phone on a Saturday night, Adrian L. Acosta and Fausto Fernós, two Latina gals sharing a cocktail, gossip and reflections on the nature of fame and art.

In case you haven't scrolled down on the webpage yet or heard yesterday's show, Adrian is the man behind the woman and force of nature (Marc and I think of her as a pretty pink passionflower) that is Amnesia Sparkles. Amnesia was the the first drag queen to have literally 15 seconds of fame on the first season of the reality tv show American Idol, where she audition for the contest in full drag.

Listen to Fausto choke up as Amnesia turns the tables around on him on this very Feast of Fools podcast!

Tomorrow: George Grant talks about his obsession with wind-up clocks. Victoria Lamarr and Fausto go out into the street to mess around with the general public.

posting as I listen so there may be another... but I had to chime in and say GREAT song by Scott there in the opening minutes! Kind of a BNL sound with equally good lyrics. Very good indeed.

I LOVE Amnesia! These past two episodes were so great. You've had so many great interviews lately. The pictures on her site are so very hot. And I do believe I need to see this short bus movie... lol. Hope she'll be on again soon.

Oh, and while I was listening to the show right before this I had to google Walter Mercado. How campy can you get? I love it!

OMG! Fausto plugs hipperspective and Amnesia says she loves me!~!~

I'm going to have to transcribe the show and frame it now.

Great show Fausto and Amnesia... throughly enjoyed it, both days. Amnesia, I was just a fan before today, now I might have to become a stalker!

Love you both...and Adrian... I kinda liked the blonde but the brown/red does look better on you.

Hey mike and john–

I love you guys too! I'm SUCH a big fan of walter mercado myself, I love that he's still around (the guys' been dragging those outrageous gowns for as long as Liberace has) hopefully one day we can do a telephone interview with him. unfortunately for you english only folks, it will have to be in spanish. (his english, is not so good)

I had a good time with the MS. A.S.

Yes, well....er, you have FIVE listeners, but I always get left out of the roll call. I'll just sit here in the corner and chew wet cigarette butts.

Great show. I need to go to NYC and check out Amnesia. I don't know if my country self can handle the big city! :)

I have to say Fausto that these two podcasts together have really crossed into new territory. With one podcast you get flavor, with two back to back you get to the meat of the guest. And when you let yourself be interviewed by you guest or in the least asked a few introspective questions. I think the best part of these last interviews with Amnesia, Justin Bond and Miss Understood...is that drag can be deep. Funny and deep. Thanks baby doll.

I really enjoyed today's podcast. The rapport between you and Adrian was incredible, and I hope you'll have him back on the show very soon.

I also liked how the tables were turned and we got to hear more about you and how you feel about this show. I've listened to some earlier shows lately and I'm seeing how the show is evolving into something bigger and broader than a show about interesting characters and quirky news bits... it's also a show about humanity and how we, as humans interact with each other. And no matter who/what/where we are, or what we have been through, we are all wonderful and interesting people. Thank you for being a true bright spot in my day, Fausto!!!

Knottyboy, you know this is just an elaborate ruse to come visit you in the glorious valley you live in. I told victoria about it and we all want to come visit you in the spring. ROAD TRIP!!!

So you guys think the interview with Ms. Amnesia went well? I was worried that all the drunken banter would come across as too chaotic and messy.

When I was a teen growing up in Puerto Rico I always dreamed of coming to america and having my own "late night" talk show like david letterman. With this podcast, my dreams have come true.

I'm SO lucky to be able to meet such wonderful people like Adrian and Miss Understood, and come mouth-to-ear with my heroes like Justin Bond and John Waters.

In many ways I feel like I come "full circle" when I get to talk to people that I find so amazing, interesting, and bold.

I hope you guys find the cheezy "coming out" episode fun! We do it just for you die-hard fans who download and listen to each and every juicy audio/visual moment.

And we're just getting started.
