Even though we poke a lot of fun at Lady Bunny, we hold her in high regard as a gay entertainment legend. Listen to this in-depth interview where Bunny explains how she comes up with her material, why she dresses the way she does and why her mama is so gosh darn proud of her son/daughter.

[Originally posted on December 20, 2005.]

Subversive and perversive,THE Lady Bunny joins us today to talk about her debut DVD “X-Rated: For X-tra Retarded” a video collection of her greatest hits from her nightclub comedy act.

From her hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Lady Bunny moved to Atlanta to go to Georgia State University. She then later moved to New York City to become part of a vibrant community of drag performers in the 1980s. She still resides in NYC but you can catch her act all over the world.

Lady Bunny’s probably best known for organizing and founding the New York City Outdoor Drag Festival Wigstock, which in 1995 became the subject of a documentary “Wigstock The Movie” directed by Barry Shills.

In addition to emceeing the annual Wigstock event for over 20 years she’s a well known DJ, promoter, and comedian.

Bunny’s blog is a sharp, politically aware and at times loopy take on current affairs and cultural issues. It is truly extraordinary.

Listen to Lady Bunny talk about Pamela Anderson and the Comedy Central Roast, the politics of drag and her former roommate RuPaul, and her mother Lady Becky, who threatens to run onto the stage and steal the show with her tambourine. Wouldn’t that be a sight!

    Poor Enrique Iglesias! The dreamy son of latin crooner Julio Iglesias is so fed up from people thinking he has a small penis that he’s issued a press release stating he has a large dick.
    I believe you Enrique, but we still need visual confirmation.
    About six years ago, Enrique joked in an interivew that [...]

    I simply can’t stop looking at Maskon.com, one of my all-time favorite websites.
    Mask-on is a support site dedicated to trannies who like to “mask.” “Maskers” enjoy cross-dressing as women by using masks instead of make-up to create the illusion.
    They don’t really try to fool anyone into thinking they are actual flesh and bones women, but [...]

    Ask not for whom the bells jingle, they jingle for thee.
    What is up with Christmas themed music and that annoying, repetitive jingle you hear in almost every song out there? You know what I’m talking about, that jing-a-ling that makes even my ting-a-ling mind go batty with holiday-themed anxiety.

    Rick Stokes did what almost every gay man in Kansas did back in the 1950s- he got married to a woman. His wife knew that he had a number of gay experiences before they got married but whether it was naivety or wishful thinking, they thought his desire for a gay life would go [...]

    Still this formula leaves a lot to be desired. [...]
