We loved hanging out with Kennidi and Reina at Paper Dolls, the drag show at Mary’s Attic which is held every Thursday night. The host of the drag show is Mercedes, who was recently crowned the reigning Miss Continental Plus 2008. Miss Continental Plus is THE pageant for plus sized female impersonators.
We’ve been stalking Mercedes for years. We tried to get her to do the live Feast of Fools Show long ago but at that time she was in retirement. We’re glad that she is back and throwing it down hard. We’re proud of you!
Check out this video as we go behind the scenes of the drag show and mess around with the girls.

March 28, 2008 at 18:40Aww ty guys so much for the kind words! I love the FOF family, and I am proud to be a part of it! But to be real honest if it wasnt for FOF i dont think Tranny Talk 101 would exist! Fausto encouraged me to do something and here is what has come out of it!!! I so loved having Marc and Fausto drop in on our show this week, its so much fun being with them! Last night at Mary\’s was a blast and I want to send a shout out to my new lesbian friends: Angie and Alexis!
Pete, I will be performing at Mary\’s Attic next Thursday nite! SO come out and see me!
Much Love,
Kennidi

March 28, 2008 at 21:47Oh No you Bitches didn\’t!
You went and tried the crown?
I peed myself and giggled my ass off…………
And WHY was I not in the video?
Was it the lack of makeup?
Do I need to be painted to be on your show?
Where are the pictures of Fausto in the wig?
Love ya

March 29, 2008 at 11:55I love Tranny Talk! I\’ve watched every episode so far. Those gals are great! Congrats to Mercedes!!
SAL-E says:
March 29, 2008 at 12:34And there is such a thing as \”Science\” Behind this whole drag/female impersonation/Transgender/pagent system thing………………………For real…………..Mercedes even says so…………………………………..There is Science behind it Science I say SCIENCE!
You may not find it in a book but Tranny Talk 101 is about to school and educate the masses………..all the girls in hiding there will be no more shame or looking lame…………..get ready to see some manifestaions pop up here and there…………..
Get ready to see the Chicago Gals show you how it\’s done.

March 29, 2008 at 13:31WOW! What great videos…. I was all excited to write about the fabulous Kennidi and Reina (you\’re fabulous!) and then I see you have a bonus–Captainl0ver (Michael\’s) \”Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (daft punk) signed\”!!!! Very cool…. thanks, DKMPLS and Marc for posting that!
kennidi says:
March 29, 2008 at 13:54AWW SAL-E we fucking love u! U ROCK TOO! School is in session and these bitches are going to get a major Stunning! Thanks so much to everyone here at FOF for watching our vids and commenting! It means a lot, for a site that was thrown up a lil over a week ago its getting rave responses and cheers for what we are doing!!! YEAH! We are letting people see that its ok to be a trans girl and live a pretty fun life! LET\’s GET EVERY BITCH OUT OF THE CLOSET!!! I\’ve always wanted to give back, because when I started this journey in my Teens so many big named girls helped me along my way. If it wasn\’t for the help and the guidance today, i wouldn\’t be Kennidi, i would be the confused boy living in Texas trying to find the next thing to do with my life. I feel like everyday Marc and Fausto give back to the community by having this site and podcast, they are inspirations to many many people no matter what sexuality or race u are! All I know is, that I have a blast being around them and everyone else for making me feel special and loved on here!!! YOU ALL FUCKING ROCK! Thanks for supporting my dreams and I hope in return u spread the love and show people that its ok to be just YOU!
MUCH LOVE,
KENNIDI
PS…yes there is totally a science into pageants, and Mercedes got it down faster than most girls! I think she\’s right its all about dedication and willing to take criticism and rejection well! I love Continental and so many close people to me are Formers! I feel honored to have Mercedes on that list and that she was willing to grace the Tranny Talk 101 Show!
ReinaValentino says:
March 29, 2008 at 19:36Hey I love when you guys stop in and see the show!!!!!!! Its always a blast. Then you guys force me to do sexual things with male strippers. It helps bring me out of my shell. I\’ve always been so shy and quiet, until I met you guys, thanks!!!
Fausto Fernós says:
March 29, 2008 at 20:39You- SHY? I somehow find that hard to believe, but Reina, you are a QUEEN when it comes to pretty much anything. It\’s great to go out with you because ALL the boys love giving you attention.

March 28, 2008 at 17:01Its so great to see Kennidi’s many talents. Move over Oprah!
FYI, one of the related content videos on the YouTube site of this video was a video of a gay man who knows ASL (American Sign Language) and he signs/dances to some popular songs which looks really good:
I hope it is posted appropriately!
