Stunning! Stunning! We’re all stunned by Robbie D’s remix of Calpernia Addams new song “Stunning.” It is a super pop trash hit that is sure to rise to the top of the club charts. We love the song because of the threatening double meaning of the word “stunning” or “stunned.” The listener doesn’t quite know what they are going to get from the transgendered songstress, a fashion show that will forever shame their own sense of style or a jolt of electricity from a taser that’ll leave them on floor writhing in pain. Either way the song is fun.
The lip synching queens at the clubs are going to go ga-ga over this song because it will give them a chance to strut their stuff, drop a whole lot of attitude and stun the hell out of the audience. Stunning is sure to replace the “flawless” and “fierce” in the drag vocabulary.
Sal-E issues an edict that he wants to do it first! So don’t lip sync this until our in-house nightclub diva performs it, otherwise you’ll get a stunning. But please check out Calpernia’s video for the song, because it’s well, stunning.
Sal-E gives us the dirt that queens dish out to each other behind the scenes at the club. Poor Sal-E strained his back from doing too many high-energy dance moves last weekend trying to give the audience what they wanted which was some clown-loving-madness. Did he deliver? Of course. He was STUNNING.
Some guy in Florida announced that he’s straight last week when he held a press conference announcing he had found a “rare nude portrait” of Marylin Monroe which turned out to be Madonna trying to hitch hike naked in pumps from her infamous book “Sex” originally titled “(X)” but changed because of the Spike Like film about civil rights activist Malcolm X. Check out the picture in the context of the book here.
I don’t know what planet that guy lived on but everyone saw that picture. Even in the Simpsons’ Marge said “British women don’t pump gas naked.”
We talk about Larry King, the teenage boy in California who shot by a classmate for being too gay. These young kids come out so early now and some people just can’t handle it. It is so wonderful that kids are coming to terms with who they are at such a young age but it so sad that others can’t handle it. It reminds me of what someone said “the future is here, it’s just not evenly distributed.” When will the world catch up to people like Larry?
One listener, faery4476 wrote in the forums “I knew the boy and attended the vigil last night. He was a kind, creative, and compassionate kid who had a difficult life. It’s such a tragedy that his potentially bright future was stifled by ignorance and intolerance.” We are so very sorry for your personal loss and we are sorry for the loss to the community as a whole.
Another listener of the Feast of Fools made it on CBS News for Candlelight Vigil for Larry King wearing a cranberry red Feast of Fools T shirts. We were very touched that he chose to wear it at the vigil and it was comforting to see the turnout at the vigil on the news.
Always stunning- Feast of Fools.

February 22, 2008 at 21:34I love Teh-Ching Hsieh’s work… we went to see him speak @ Columbia a few years ago, and it was great to see him in person. I had no idea he and Linda Montano were lovers and then split up, before they were tied to each other for a year! That was a weird piece. Imagine collaborating with someone you had been so intimate with. Kinda like the Indigo Girls, only to the extreme…
My favorite “one-year piece” of his was the one where he punched a time clock EVERY HOUR for a year. Insane. It really changes your perception of time… imagine feeling the passing of each hour, for an entire year. That one makes my head hurt, but in a good way. He shaved his head on the first day of the piece, then let it grow out for the duration of the project. He took a photo of himself each time he punched the clock. By the end of the year, he had a gorgeous head of hair…

That song is so catchy! I love it. Can’t wait for the unplugged version — strumming… strumming…

February 23, 2008 at 07:39The government of Isabella and Mortimer was so precarious that they dared not leave the deposed king in the hands of their political enemies. On April 3, Edward II was removed from Kenilworth and entrusted to the custody of two dependents of Mortimer, then later imprisoned at Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire where, it is generally believed, he was murdered by an agent of Isabella and Mortimer.
The suspicion was elaborated in a later history by Sir Thomas More:-
On the night of October 11 while lying in on a bed [the king] was suddenly seized and, while a great mattress… weighed him down and suffocated him, a plumber’s iron, heated intensely hot, was introduced through a tube into his secret private parts so that it burned the inner portions beyond the intestines.
It was rumoured that Edward had been killed by the insertion of a piece of copper into his rectum (later a red-hot iron rod, as in the supposed murder of Edmund Ironside). Murder in this manner would have appeared a natural death, as a metal tube would have been inserted into the anus first, thus allowing the iron rod to penetrate the entrails without leaving a burn on the buttocks.
According to Norman F. Cantor (In the Wake of the Plague, p. 75):
This savagery partly reflected hostility on the part of the Church and other opinion-makers to the king’s homosexuality and his favoritism towards his young French male lover, but it also reflected the general malaise, anger, and pessimism of the new age of global cooling.
It should be noted that this gruesome account is uncorroborated by any contemporary source and no-one writing in the 14th century knew exactly what had happened to Edward II. The closest chronicler to the scene in time and distance, Adam Murimuth, stated that it was ‘popularly rumoured’ that he had been suffocated.

February 23, 2008 at 17:03OMG Thank you guys for playing “Stunning”! If any of the girls performed it in a club, I’d be so happy you could knock me over with a feather! I’m working on some more dance tunes with a similar twist of humor to them, and I can’t wait to share. Thank you!
Calpernia
