Sharing a sweet kiss with his boyfriend Matt Horton (pictured here on the right) is none other than our fan and friend Benjamin Paciello a true French fashionista who descends from a very distinguished line of female fashion icons.

Just who is Benji related to? Well his aunt was none other than Hollywood fashion model Suzy Parker, who was once said to be the highest-paid model in the world, earning more than $60,000 a year in the 1950s; she later embarked on a brief career as an actress in Hollywood. (he kind of looks like her too.) She was cut from the same cloth as our beloved Joan Crawford, as it seems they both came from San Antonio and became legendary women in fashion and film.

[Note: Although both women came from deep within the heart of Texas, Joan Crawford started her film career in the 1920’s working as a silent film star in California. By the time Suzy Parker began her career, Joan had already won the Oscar in 1945 for Mildred Pierce. Thanks to true blue listener Michael White for the correction!]

You can see some fabulous images of her in Richard Avedon’s fabulous book “Woman in the Mirror” by clicking here. Even the Beatles wrote a song about her!

His boyfriend Matt joins us with our lovable lesbian Cat Jefcoat to talk about the gay zoo penguins, anorexic lesbians, why Paris Hilton is NOT a whore, Leslie Hall, and lots of other lovely animal news.

Plus a special surprise phone call from Victoria Lamarr, who’s announcing her new cleaning service. Yes, for the small price of $75 an hour you can hire Miss Vicki to come to your house and clean. And from what I hear, she DOES do windows. If you’re interested, email her at victorialamarr [at symbol goes here] gmail [period] com.
