Jo Jo and Sal-E watching the Trannyshack Michael Jackson themed showWhat is Sal-E getting himself into? Last time we hung out with our local Technicolor child of the night he was dishing out the goods for the good people of the world who manage to comment on my Gay Bloggies entries. Now he’s back to announce he’s starting a Chicago chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

Who wants to dress up as a wacky nun in drag? I do! These 21st century nuns for the queer community roots go back to the San Francisco Cockettes scene from of the late 1960s. They began officially in 1979 when three friends dressed up as nuns wearing psychedelic clown makeup, one sporting a cigar and machine gun. They thought it would be a great way to challenge established ideas of gay masculinity, religion, plus raise funds for charities and have fun.

I think it’s wonderful that Sal-E is doing this as many of the groups all over the country work hard to raise awareness and money for a wide range of charities.

Santa Marc presents Sal-E with some fan art for the Feast of FoolsOn today’s show we talk about Sal-E’s new African American female mannequin he bought from Jo-Jo who was acquired in the and infamous “boiling-skull” incident. A Hindu holy man loses his holy prosthetic leg and we talk about making my “XXX-Mas Karaoke Medley” video for the Gay Bloggies competition. Special thanks to Taylor E Ross for helping me put together the music and playing a rocking guitar.

Pictured here with Santa Marc is Sal-E checking out this new fan art we got from Matt, one of our listeners. No matter which way you turn the painting, it spells out the letters FOF. It has a rainbow circle in the middle to represent the way our show ties the GLBTQC community together. What a sweet guy! We love it.

Starrbooty, interview with RuPaulWhat’s a good gift for your queer inspired friend this holiday season? Why not get them RuPaul’s new movie “Starrbooty” out on DVD as a stocking stuffer? Believe it or not, it’s actually quite a delightfully campy movie inspired by the trashy films of Russ Meyers (the King of Trash) and John Waters (known as the Prince of Puke). Directed by fashion photographer Mike Ruiz, the film stars Supermodel to the world RuPaul as a secret agent who becomes a street hooker in order to rescue her niece from the clutches of her arch nemesis, Erika Manners, portrayed by Candis Cane.

The thin plot of the film really is just an excuse to stage RuPaul in some hilarious scenes that pay homage to the karate Blaxplotatin films of the 1970s and to showcase some wacky costumes and crazy characters speaking in memorable overdubbed voices.

Along with Valley of the Dolls, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and Showgirls, Starrbooty makes a nice addition to any campy film collectors library.

Dear Santa, what do I really want for Christmas? Besides love, peace and music, sweet sweet music, I want to win the Gay Bloggies! I know that with you, my fabulous listeners, on my side fighting to keep me in the race by voting and posting comments on my Gay Bloggies Blog, I can win this challenge! I know it sounds awful, but not only do you have to give me the “thumbs up” on my latest entry to keep me in the competition, but give the “thumbs down” to the other three contestants to help me win! You have until midnight Tuesday Dec 18th (pacific standard time) to vote in the latest entry.

The only gay talk show endorsed by Jesus’s foreskin- Feast of Fools.

A note about the Gay Bloggies:

Please don’t post any comments (good or bad) on the other competitors entries. Instead, post your comments about their entries in mine.

As you may know, comments encourage traffic (and votes) to their entries and lower my chances of winning this competition. If I win the competition, Marc will sit on a cake dressed up as Santa Claus and we’ll party like it’s 1999. Which means we’re going to freak out, Y2K style (but in a totally good way) ok?

Alright! I love Sal, can’t wait to hear the show.

Good show ! It is always fun when Sal-E joins the show ! :-)

Well, i posted a comment on the other contestant`s entries. Next time I will not but Fausto have the most comments anyway and his fabolous,colourful entry catches the attention from any visitor of the site directly.

Wow, All I have to say is wow. The video on gaybloggies is sooo entertaining. The show today, just wow, I mean really…very The Cell - esque/ Jeepers Creepers with the missing eyes. They really didn’t want anyone knowing what really happened-ed. As for Jesus’ foreskin…well, I borrowed that. WHAT? it was cold and I needed a hat..Jeeez-us… >:D

As for the holy man losing his leg…well ’tis the season for giving isn’t it? Speaking of giving…did you hear yet that Amazon.com purchased a hand-written and hand-illustrated J.K. Rowling book for $4 million? I couldn’t believe it. Granted it was for charity, but still.

Oh..and speaking of still butts, I can’t wait for tomorrow’s show from SteamWorkz. And I can’t wait until next pride, I’m planning on being up there for that week and I simply must drop by and have my photo taken…Hell, I’ll even sit on a cake for you in grand FOF style!

Loved the show, I’m off to work now. Have a grand day!

Oh Sal, now ya gone and did it. As if Paloma’s head wasn’t big enough. Now she’s gone all Diva on me. “Oh, did you hear Sal-E talk about me on Feast of Fools”, “Ooooh, do you think the boys will interview me?”, and “ooh, has Cher called yet.”

I’m telling you, she’s outta control!!! And I’ll warn ya. I don’t know about your mannequin, but when I’m out of town Paloma has wild mannequin parties. I came back from IML and there were random body parts strewn around the apartments, empty cans of Lemon Pledge and rages all over the place (huffing will be the downfall of the mannequin community). What can I do, I can’t live with her, can’t live without her.

Fausto, that karaoke video was priceless. Only you does a medley with costume changes. That was awesome. I love you.

Excellent show guys.

Great show! As always…

LOved the Show!! So Excited for Sal-E I had heard that a group of Men who went to MIR in chicago were wanted to form the Chicago Sisters!! Good luck as you start your mission!

I was one of the guys you are talking about……….Eddie was down here.
Sorry, I over slept…………….I woke up a little past 4pm…….I missed my guided tour at Steamworks. I will never be the same!
Love ya
-SAL-E

Oh dear lord… my party was CA-RAZY! I had so much fun, though, and I’m so glad you guys were there! I SO want those pictures, Fausto. I will be bribing some boys… believe you me! I wonder if he burned his balls on that fondue. I had no idea it was so blazing hot. Oh well, thank goodness alcohol numbs the senses.

Sal, I can’t wait to see the pics from your visit to Steamworks (Saca la presion!) Your Man’s Country visit was one of the very first FoF shows I ever heard. It’s still one of my favorites to this day. Ah, those were the days. :)

As for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence…. I might consider that. It could be fun. I’d make a good nun. Hell, I have 12 years of Catholic School upbringing to draw upon. In fact, here’s a little story about my 8th grade teacher, Sister Albertona. She was an old Dominican nun. She wore full habit from head to toe, and it was white as snow except for her black veil. And she was older than dirt. Her breath smelled like bananas and peanut butter and rotten teeth, and her fingers were crooked and wrinkled. She would spout all kinds of fire and brimstone rhetoric our way, telling us how if we didn’t go to church, we would go straight to hell. The kids all called her “Stick Shift” because when she’d get angry at rowdy kids (mostly boys, but girls were prone to this, too), she would grab them by the hair and yank them back and forth, yelling, “You Must BEHAVE IN CLASS!” Needless to say, she retired shortly after my class graduated.

So maybe I could be Sister Albertony or something… a Mafioso nun driving a stick shift car. That’d be HOT.

I was told when I first joined that as a Sister we don’t want to be compared with Drag Queens because “they are mean” I was shocked by this comment because I have found Sal-E and Jo Jo, and Hedda Lettace and the many others on the show to be super cool people. I thought Sal-E was also so nice in person, he talked to me like a normal human never shoved me off as just a wanna be fan.

I want to geton stage and lip sync and dance and have fun as a nun, I hope Sal-e can help break the mold that Drag Nuns don’t perform like that!!

I am so excited for you!!! Will be waiting to hear more as your misson grows!
Sister Perkie

WOW! Rick’s parties sound fun. Didn’t realize how wild he was when I meet him last Summer. I definitley want to go to one of your parties. I’ll drive all the way from Atlanta again. I’ll bet the blond guy pleading for Fausto to not take pictures of the guys chocolate covered balls because it “would ruin your life” must know from experience.
Always love to hear the super sexy vocie of SAL-E. Looking forward to the Steamworks show.

great show today guys always fun when sal-e is involved I’m glad to see matts picture on the website he’s a friend of mine and i’ve been hearing about the picture as well as seeing a preview so it was great to see you guys finally got it and posted a pic on the website keep up the good work and as always love listening to you guys so much
Cheers
Ryan

Loved the show as always!

I can’t wait to hear the Steamworks show! Too bad Sal-E missed it.

The karaoke video was fabulous. It was so fun and it made me smile. Thank you so much Fausto!

OH! And I finally feel complete. I just got my Feast of Fools Digitally Delicious shirt in the mail. How cool! Thank you so much Marc and Fausto and signing the letter. Maybe I can someday sell your autograph on eBay!

I try to avoid putting on mean drag queens on the show as a general rule. Thanks for the votes and comments guys! Keep it up. Can we get to 300?

Hey guys! Glad to hear you liked the turrón. On my way to the office I snapped this pict of KM 0 at the center of Madrid for Sal-E: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2168/2123265226_a26c79459d_m.jpg
You are right Fausto it is a fucking awsome city and I’m not Spanish, I’m an ex-pat so I’m not biased, well, I guess I am because I have been here for 15 years and I love it. You guys come over and I’ll give you my personal tour of Madrid, it will be good I promise!
besitos,
lis

I really love this podcast, all of you are great and i love Sal-E. as if he wasn’t fun enough as is, now he’s opening up a chapter of Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to help other folks AND he picked me for a goodie box/bag on this episode because i posted a comment on Fausto’s Gay Bloggy karoke entry. what i didn’t hear though was how to claim that prize. oh, i just wanted to say that I didn’t misspell my name Marc, it’s the name Chris with the “py” on the end. a nickname from many years ago. you read a comment of mine a couple of days before and pronounced it right then. anyway, tell me how i can claim my box/bag. thanks so much for all of your hard work Fausto & Marc, you do such a wonderful job. thanks for picking me Sal-E.

Hey guys… let me know if you get to Barcelona!… I and my husband will love to show you around (a private tour guide in English or Spanish, you choose)… Please open up your agenda and fix a date! :)
Let us know the date and we plan the party, right?

I love every single person you interview on your show. Continue with the hard work!

Bye,
FELIX (from Barcelona, Spain)
