FOF #778 – Voluptous Diva
Standard Podcast [49:48m]:
Here's the latest in the tag kennidi monroe
15 commentsDiva! Diva! Diva! Kennidi Monroe just put out her very first single and it has a catchy riff. What is it? Voluptuous Diva. It’s the word “diva” over and over and over again.
The song seems like a Saturday Night Live sketch in extremis, and we love it. The campy awkwardness is disarming and it’s fun to sing along to. I can totally see drag queens working the runways all across the country screaming “DIVA!”
Sadly, tonight is the last night for the Paper Dolls show at Mary’s Attic in Andersonville. The club is going in another direction and trying out a new theme, sans-drag queens on Thursday nights.
Mary’s Attic is where all the great behind the scenes videos Kennidi recorded with us for her funky “Trannytalk 101″ YouTube video series took place. We got into trouble when we tried on pageant winner Mercedes’ crown when she wasn’t looking.
I don’t see what the big fuss was about, after all, the video gave her a ton of free publicity and it was meant in good fun. Okay, maybe we were just a little bit jealous and I did look good in it.
Kennidi is relieved that she’s finally able to soak in the sun and fun in Chicago. She had a rough month. First, she went to Texas and got sunburned. Then she struggled in the recording studio and discovered that she couldn’t sing or even keep a beat. Maybe it was the newness of the experience or her nervousness but her poor frustrated music producer told her to come back the next day only if she was fortified by a fifth of rum. She downed the rum and cranked out six songs in four hours. That’s our girl!
Kennidi then traveled up to Milwaukee with Sal-e, Teri Yaki, Tina Torch and Regina Upbright to re-create a Spice Girls number between tornadoes and unforgiving rain. But the girls all pulled it off despite the weather. All the kids in the crowd were delighted to see the wacky over the top Chicago version of the Popular British Girl Power group.
Chinese people are so hot for the Olympics that they are naming their kids “Olympic Games.” Can they do that? It seems the IOC would put a stop to that. After all, the reason the Gay Games is called that is because they won’t allow them to use the term “Olympic” even though the Special Olympics and even the “Pet Olympics” can use the term.
Gay boys no longer have to wish for Unicorns. A real life unicorn, okay, uni-deer was found in Italy. The single horned deer, a random anomaly was born in captivity in the Center of Natural Sciences in Prato, Italy. He’s believed to have a genetic flaw; his twin has two horns.
Scientists are speculating that such anomalies might have inspired the myth of the unicorn.
Look out for us at Midsommarfest this weekend. I love this street fair because it’s our delightful neighborhood cranked up a few notches on the hotness scale. Our friends at Big Jones located right in the heart of it all are mixing up some delicious cocktails to keep you cool. I’m looking forward to trying out a Hibiscus Margarita in air conditioned comfort.

Warning!…
FOF #758 – Kennidi is Sorry
Standard Podcast [50:30m]:
Kennidi is sorry. And she apologizes too. Kennidi told us she’s really really sorry for picking on video blogger Chris Crocker in the show comments last week.
Fessing up that she was doing it all for attention, our southern belle promises from now on to keep her videos focused on positive ideas and outrageous tranny delights, and not spend her time trying to find faults in others.
She’s really really sorry! So please forgive her.
Kennidi is heading down to Houston Texas to work with her DJ mixing pals, hoping to put out a couple of songs to rock out the good people of the internet. We say, you go girl. Go down to Texas. And come back with a hit! If you are in the Houston area, make sure to look her up.
Orchids are like trannies, beautiful, alluring and oh so precious. Some orchids mimic the look of female wasps and encourage male wasps to pollinate them by tricking them into mating with them by appearing like the female of their species. Sound familiar? Drag queens and trannies are just like those orchids.
The males, during what they think is sex, ejaculate and unlike mammals, once they are spent they are spent for good and will not likely be able to ejaculate again. This process takes a lot of male wasps out of the procreation cycle and helps keep the wasp hive in balance. Female wasps only need male wasps to procreate if they want to create female offspring.
Kids and drugs. It’s always about kids and drugs. You never hear in the news about old people and drugs. Why is that? Is it because they vote? That seems to be the key to old people getting their way all the time. Legislators in Georgia want to ban pot flavored candy. As of July 1, 2008, if you are a minor, you won’t be able to by such delightful candy flavors such as “Chronic Candy” or “Pot Suckers.” Now, we’ve never tasted these candies but if they taste anything like bong water you’re not missing much.
Kids in Russia got a special dessert with their lunchtime meal. They got delicious ectasy. No, that isn’t like ambrosia or some other trashy dessert, it’s MDMA. It seems someone spiked their food and the kids started wiggin’ out. They started dancing, stripping and climbing the walls. In other words, they turned the cafeteria into a gay bar circa 1997.
Join us on today’s show as Fausto Fernós and Marc Felion give Kennidi a (NSFW) non-surgical sex change, tease her about her questionable upbringing and convince her not to huff highlighters. She is a good sport about it all so please give her some kudos, in other words comment on the show.
Like a beautiful field of flowers- Feast of Fools.

FOF #737 – Chix and Waffles
Standard Podcast [47:49m]:
It’s okay to eat chicken and waffles. Really. But some people think it’s gross, even though Oprah several years ago talked about how she just loved to put away a plate of grilled chicken and waffles. I’ve had them too and it’s delicious!
Sadly though, a Chicago and a Los Angeles restaurant specializing in the exotic dish are battling it out in court over the name.
Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘n Waffles claims that it’s name is being stolen by Chicago based Rosscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles. Who will win the great Chicken and Waffles legal battle? It could get ugly folks.
On today’s show you get a tasty dose of Kennidi H. Monroe back again to talk about what she will and WON’T do in bed with a lover.
If you own one of those pair of hillbilly teeth, you might want to return them and get your money back. Today the CPSC announced a recall of over 20,000 fake “Hillbilly” teeth.
The health agency says that the gray surface paint on the teeth contains excessive levels of lead, violating Federal lead paint standards, and of course offending thousands of people living in the rural SouthEastern U.S. Will we see these teeth relaunched as “Sons of the Soil Teeth?”
Marc and I are still enjoying our hi-class limo ride in New York City, courtesy of one of our lovely listeners Mark. We love you!!!
As we were leaving the GLBT Expo last weekend, exhausted we ran across this limo driver who offered his services at rock bottom prices. Needless to say we jumped at the chance and were not dissapointed.
Besides double decker buses outfitted with dancing poles, a Russian inventor has developed a brand new concept- the mobile sauna.
Converted froma military truck, Igor Chupin offers clients a session in the back of his GAZ-66 truck for around $50 an hour. Hello Steamworks? I can see a mobile steamworks driving to your local neighborhood to help you release the pressure.

FOF #736 – Finding Your Inner Beauty
Standard Podcast [48:54m]:
Kennidi just won’t eat her vegetables. Why not? Every trans-gal needs to get her green on. Most veggies have estrogenic properties, which ultimately help both men and women maintain a healthy balance inside and out.
Eating a plate of watercress isn’t going to give you boobs or put hair on your chest- vegetables just have a great ability to help the body balance itself hormonally and ultimately get you to where you want to go.
On today’s show Kennidi Monroe comes to share some of her insights in learning how to nuture yourself and embrace the beautiful diva that lives deep inside of you.
You might remember Kennidi from her infamous video of all of us breaking in backstage into the 2008 Miss Continental Plus pageant winner’s suitcase to horse around with her 12-inch-tall-tiara, a HUGE taboo among Chicago drag queens.
Meanwhile in jolly-old England a wayward parrot is actually teaching other birds to cuss, probably because parrots can be like drag queens and enjoy the attention they get from hurling insults at people. Think about it. Macaws have more in common with that Mariah Carey impersonator than you think. Only next time you approach one, make sure you have a dollar bill in your hand instead of a cracker.
Would you wear a t-shirt that sported the words “I WAS RAPED?”
Activist and t-shirt artist Jennifer Baumgardner has started selling pale pink t-shirts with the words “I was raped” written on a drawing of a card inside a safe. You can buy your’s here at her website Scarleteen.com.
Although the t-shirt could help women (and men) help to heal from the shame and humiliation of being sexually violated, I’m not sure that many people would feel comfortable in sporting this controversial statement. Do you think a more affirming message like- “I Survived being Raped” or “Start the Healing” would be better? It’s not as gutsy, that’s for sure. Why are so many blogs and even the New York Times not linking back to the page where people can actually buy the t-shirt and make a difference?
Kennidi makes no bones about being molested as a child, and we asked her if she would wear a t-shirt that said “I WAS MOLESTED” as a way of raising awareness on the issue.
Listen as we talk with Kennidi about the possibility of all the 2008 U.S. Presidential candidates being trannies, the reluctant town of Lunt who wishes it had a different name and the cursed heart that finally stopped beating.

FOF #717 – A Stunning Woman
Standard Podcast [45:03m]:
Brace yourself, you’re about to get a stunning!
Calpernia Addams, the Peabody Prize winning writer, actress and activist, best known on the Feast of Fools for her single “Stunning” joins us today to talk about the genesis of that fabulous dance song.
“Stunning” came out one of the episodes from her brand new reality tv series “Transamerican Love Story” a revolutionary elimination dating show featuring Calpernia as a trans woman searching for romance from a small group of handsome men.
The version we play on the show was remixed by Robbie D. We had the pleasure of hanging with Robbie D. at Idapolooza music festival in Tennessee in 2001 and Marc got to paint his ass blue!
Calpernia’s reality show is like The Bachelorette but with a fabulous trannie as the prize. You get to see an inside look at the men who are attracted to transsexual women and what it will take to win her heart. We recommend buying the season pass on the iTunes Music store, that way you’ll get every episode as it’s released each week, much like this podcast!
Life hasn’t always been stunning for Calpernia.
Calpernia was thrust into the public spotlight in 1999 when her lover, Pvt. Barry Winchell was harassed and murdered by his fellow soldiers after rumors of their relationship circulated around the base.
A controversial New York Times article titled “An Inconvenient Woman” portrayed GLBT groups as trying to qualify their relationship as “homosexual” in order to draw attention to the problems with the U.S. Military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy banning lesbians, trans, gays and bi folks from serving their country.
Because of this intense life-changing event, Calpernia decided to become an activist for more positive media portrayals of transsexual women.
She participated in the production of “Soldier’s Girl” as an on set consultant to keep the story true to her experience. The film won several awards and featured Lee Pace from Pushing Daisies as Calpernia.
Join Kennidi Monroe, Marc Felion and me Fausto Fernós as we talk with Cali about her friendship with web-designer Andrea James, dealing with unpopular contestants and Calpernia’s list of stupid questions not to ask a Trannie. Of course, we asked her anyway, well not really.
Don’t miss the last part of the show where Calpernia teaches me how to force feminize my voice. I sound almost as stunning as she does!
This is the podcast that uses the voice you want to use- Feast of Fools.

FOF #716 – Sexy Secretive Ways
Standard Podcast [55:56m]:
Victoria’s Secret executives made a public statement last Friday saying their image has become “too sexy for their own good.”
The San Francisco based chain of women’s underwear, known for their erotic catalogs marketed towards men is now saying their aggressive approach may be backfiring, claiming sales have dropped as a result of women becoming alienated by their “too sexy” marketing image. You know you’re in trouble when you start quoting “Right Said Fred” in your press conferences.
What are they really talking about here? Is it possible to be too desirable? Or are they just feeling pangs of guilt over exploiting women’s bodies for male (and female) pleasure?
I don’t think a 2-5% drop in sales is anything to get alarmed about. My guess is they probably have a new marketing person in charge who wants to make their mark on the company and wants to take it in a new direction.
Still, I can see the public relations train wreck coming a mile away. If they state they are going to “de-sex” their image and start using big bottomed gals as models, you can bet they will catch a lot of heat from doing so.
If they choose new models based on age, race, body type and say this is not as sexy as before, you can bet they are going to have everyone turning away from their merchandise in disgust. Nobody wants to be the “unsexy” spokesmodel.
My guess is they are just trying to get media types like us to mention them on their programs to get a free plug from the “scandal” of being “too sexy.”
It remains to be seen how the pink lacy boutique will be “de-sexying” their image but I can only hope it involves something really offensive. I love a good backlash.
On today’s show Kennidi Monroe, a lovely trannie lady who is deliciously active on our site and chat room comes to dish the dirt about her rivalry with her best friend Tracy Tyler. Kennidi and Tracy plan on starting a synth-pop, harijuki trannie-girl inspired duo later this spring and I for one couldn’t be more excited.
Kennidi shares the juicy, dirty details of her sexual adventures this past weekend and muses on the future of the human race as robotics, artificial intelligence, genetic manipulation and plastic surgery converge, making us all into alien-like trannie robots.
I think a “Terminator” doomsday scenario is highly unlikely, because if computers truly became intelligent, they would certainly realize that not only a win-win situation with humans would be in everybody’s best interest, they would see themselves as our children, and us as theirs.
Pacemakers, hip replacements and breast implants are just the tip of the iceberg of what’s to come. As technology becomes more a part of us, we become more a part of it. The robots from the future will be more like a fluid C3-PO (from the film Star Wars) than a clunky Cylon (from the television series Battlestar Galatica.)
Say hello to the iCub. A little robot that they are studying in order to understand how the little bugger learns. How long before the little cub grows up to be a big bear?
Here’s some bad news- crotch grabbing has been banned in Italy. What are Madonna and Michael Jackson impersonators do to?
Don’t miss this hot Daniel Radcliffe (the actor who plays Harry Potter)’s very public gay kiss.
Here’s Kennidi looking very cute wearing the brand new Firecracker Red Feast of Fools t-shirt. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of the t-shirts and mugs go to the Trevor Project, the country’s premier, round-the-clock toll-free suicide hotline for GLBTQCC Youth. The extra “C”s are for “closteted” and “cute!”
