Woo hoo! I’m so glad RuPaul is still out there, working it, and being as fabulous as ever! Ru was a wonderful interview– and it was great to hear what she’s doing these days. Starrbooty sounds like an instant cult/camp classic.

Congrats, Fausto and Marc, on another great celeb interview. Nobody does ‘em like you do!

What impresses me most is how grounded and down to earth RuPaul is. He appreciates everything, and you hardly ever hear that in a celebrity. A very nice interview with a lot to think over for the listener. We’re lucky to have RuPaul representing us, and he definitely deserves our support. So buy Starbooty, put your favorite RuPaul jam on the iPod, and work bitches! Everybody say LOVE!

Oh, this show got me so excited! I read Rupaul’s autobiography when I was in 7th grade. It was the first book I was motivated to really read from cover to cover. Ru’s message of love is really great, and this podcast was truly interesting. I can’t wait to see Starrbooty (for many reasons)!

I hope some of y’all in Chicago go to that after party on Thursday and take some pictures.

OMG really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i haven’t listen to the show just yet, but it is so great. I love RuPaul!
MERVEILLEUX!

By the way, RuPaul mentioned the Wizard of Oz in the interview today.
Just further proving my theory that the Wizard of Oz pops up in your life everyday in some form.

Jesus, I feared Ru would rip you a new one after your phone prank. It’s so nice that she did not take it personal. Although, she is a drag queen after all - better watch out if she invites you to some desolate lodge in the woods for a “special” interview.

The real article! And she loves toast! Could it get any better??

Yeah, me n’ Ru, we both like toast. We’re like kindred spirits. I think I swooned when she said that.

Cliff Dix, I like the idea of the Wizard of Oz being in your life every day. I’ve often equated my coming out experience, and the coming out of a lot of people, to Dorothy’s journey. I didn’t realize I was gay until about 22. And even then, I had a hard time dealing with it. It took me about four years of self-loathing, fear, shame, you name it. And once I was okay with it I realized how much time I wasted with all the crap I put myself through. I wished someone could have just told me early on what it was going to be like once I was out and okay with everything but it’s just like those damn ruby slippers. Even if Glinda had told Dorothy to click her heels, Dorothy would have thought she was on crack. So she wasn’t going to be able to use the slippers until she went on the journey. Now, everyone’s journey will be different, some longer and some very short, but only when you go through it go you get the ruby slippers and find “home”.

Btw, Cliff, are you as excited about Tin Man as I am?

Yes yes, it really is me again, I could not remember my password for my original profile so I just re-registered. After I posted the comment above I realized I had typos, did not wanna seem like I had a blond moment, so I’m re-posting with corrections…lol FOF you rock!

I totally loved this show! I am happy you guys got RuPaul on. I think RuPaul made valuable contributions. The first was when she commented on Shirley Q Liqour’s work, I found what she had to say very insightful, thank you for putting it out there that just because we are gay does not necessarily mean that we are incapable of deep thoughts! Also I especially LOVED when she spoke about people using her signature line “You betta work!” to greet her. I really believe she hit it spot on when she said that she believes people are simply acknowledging the God-Self in her. I had that very experience several years ago with RuPaul. We were both at a mutual friend’s 50th Birthday Party in LA 8 years ago, I was just chicken at the time (18years old, I’m 27 now). One of my friends said to me there’s RuPaul (Ru was at the party out of drag), I got so star-strucked, I was paralyzed by his very presence and I begged my friend Tony to ask Ru for an autograph for me. Ru, I just wanna say I was I had the courage to approach you myself. Thanks for all the work you have done for the community…keep working BITCH! (that came from a place of LOVE!)

i love RuPaul, i used to watch his show on Vh1 RELIGIOUSLY and I Love that he said his laugh is his best feature, because I LOVE his laugh and smile, in fact when I laugh I always try to laugh like him because his laugh just brings up good such good energy!

Great show guys! one of my favorites! =)

You wanna know a secret?

i love RuPaul. He is like my idol, and i swear if i could half of his talent within Drag Performance…..

i can’t wait to listen to it. i’m a little behind…my iTunes doesn’t work properly, that and I’m an art major and it’s a load of work.

but yeah Ru Paul.

What a fantastic interview! I really admire Ru for everything she has done and the amount of confidence she has done it with! It was great to listen to during my hour commute to work.

This was a wonderful interview. I was so surprised by how approachable Ru turned out to be! Plus, showing my friends the album art and watching their faces when I told them the picture was of a drag queen was hysterical. I spent my whole morning listening to the show and giggling. I don’t know much about Ru, but this has definitely piqued my interest!

Wow!!!! Another great show and so Blissfull. RuPaul should be a preacher.

Oh my Buddy! I did a double take when i saw todays guest. It was a good show. I was taken by how down to earth RuPaul seems to be. Great job on yet another successful show!

okay this is what i was waiting for….the real Ru Paul on the real FOF…awesome.
i already loved the fake Ru Paul episode but this one will be legendary…sorry is legendary.

It was cute to hear Fausto and Marc being really proud of getting the Ru Paul intro…”you better work…”
this episode is really up there with John waters, George Takei and the short interview with Kathy…

I really do think RuPaul might be missing out his/her calling as a pundit/political/social speaker. I’d pay to see RuPaul go on the lecture circuit. Wouldn’t you?

I was only a little kid when RuPaul was around and I don’t know how I got this stigma about her, but growing up I was always afraid of this “odd looking woman”. I am so glad to have listened to today’s show because it’s made me want to look up more of RuPaul’s stuff.
I think RuPaul would have a good sister show with that Pakistani trannie that has a talkshow.

……..Everybody loves..RuPaul…

One of my happiest memories in high school was riding in a car with my friends, one of whom was a big flaming gay boy, and singing or lip syncing to “Supermodel”. RuPaul, you were my introduction to gay life, and this was long before Elton or Ellen came out of the closet. Thanks for being there, girl! I love you!

Boston Bob — your story made me chuckle. Way to weed out your customer base!

Oh, I forgot to say:

“Ramandan-a-ding-dong”

had me howling! hee hee…

Thank you so much for having RuPaul on your show! I think it has been one of my favorite shows to date. What a great insight to learn that on one hand RuPaul has incredible well thought out insights and understanding of gay social issues, and on the other hand can talking about how he loves sucking cock. How fabulous it is to be gay! It was also great learning more about RuPaul, since I was coming out while “Supermodel” was being released and it brings back great memories of coming out and the joy of being able to accept myself.

I wish RuPaul could become a regular on the show. I kept this saved up for two days before I listened to it - I really wanted to cheer myself up.

And I agree with what was said here earlier - R. is SO down to earth! I think that may be one of the best features in a human being ever.

Wasn’t it also RuPaul who said on your show that there was a time when America was brighter as a nation? As in more enlightened, accepting and aware - and that things were somewhat reverting these days… Sometimes I think the very same thing is true about Norway (and large parts of Europe in general.) The voting turnout in most Western democracies have decreased dramatically, to an extent where many researchers say it may actually be a threat to democracy in itself.

During WWII many of the world’s democracies was under great pressure and in fact put aside completely for years. Right after the war ended the voter turnout was at its highest, which could only be seen as a healthy sign of a democracy. Maybe we had more enlightened people back then? Maybe large disasters make us rethink and reflect on our values and what’s good and important in life?

So awesome that celebs such as RuPaul come on the FOF. She was very gracious and the ultimate classy diva. Ill be picking up the DVD this weekend!! Great job guys.

Another great show - love Rupaul and can’t wait to see this movie

This was one of my most favorite shows ever!!! I just Saw RuPaul in San Diego and she was incredible! Thanks for bringing her to us, and thanks RuPaul for being on the FOF! Oh and when she was in SD I got Starbooty and it was hilarious! Great soundtrack!

One thing Ru said that i found ironic. She bitched about the “the youth and that all they are worried about are their Ipods” but when you asked her about her Ipod it was like….” i’ve got 17,000 songs on my 160gb ipod….” I mean thats like bitching about tv rotting our minds when you’ve got your TIVO filled when your shows. I don’t think the youth are the only ones that are obsessive about their Ipods. I mean the 160 gb ipod just came out in September. I just think that it is an easy thing for everyone to bitch about “the youth of today” being all bad and stuff its just not fair. No bad going out to her i love Ru but that comment just bugged me.

Hi Fausto & Marc

Although I am not an active member of the fof community, I am a long time fan. I have been listening since Dec 2005, and I probably have heard almost every show since then! Without you guys, my life would be a whole lot more boring, void of a lot of incredible (and sometimes uselss) information, and basically a lot less interresting

This show, however, must be one of the highlights of all!
Congrats on reaching this milestone.
Rupaul is amaizing!
Keep on going & working it…..

Useless in the normal course of everyday life. Like, Kowing that a cat in China can mew it’s own name fun to know - but useless in day to day living…

Thanks for another great show.

RuPaul is just so gorgeous. What a charming person. We’ve never heard her in an interview before but never would have guessed she would have been as unassuming and delightful as she is here.

She has some very interesting ideas and philosophies and I have to admit that it got me thinking about a few things. Very refreshing.

Now I’ve got to get the DVD. It sounds really fabulous.

Thank you for introducing Starrbooty to us and for bringing us RuPaul and all her delicious sassiness.

Kisses from Brisbane, Australia

RuPaul was a fantastic interview! Love it! I like the way the interview was done, so personal like I was on the phone too, I just wish I could have chimed in … oh well. I hope RuPaul comes back in the future to let us FOFr’s know how he is doing.

What a coup! You finally got RuPaul to come on the show. Its a damn she didn’t come on sooner. Only the FOF crew could pull this off.
