Kennidi learns that trannies need to eat their veggies to grow up to be fabulous divasKennidi just won’t eat her vegetables. Why not? Every trans-gal needs to get her green on. Most veggies have estrogenic properties, which ultimately help both men and women maintain a healthy balance inside and out.

Eating a plate of watercress isn’t going to give you boobs or put hair on your chest- vegetables just have a great ability to help the body balance itself hormonally and ultimately get you to where you want to go.

On today’s show Kennidi Monroe comes to share some of her insights in learning how to nuture yourself and embrace the beautiful diva that lives deep inside of you.

You might remember Kennidi from her infamous video of all of us breaking in backstage into the 2008 Miss Continental Plus pageant winner’s suitcase to horse around with her 12-inch-tall-tiara, a HUGE taboo among Chicago drag queens.

Meanwhile in jolly-old England a wayward parrot is actually teaching other birds to cuss, probably because parrots can be like drag queens and enjoy the attention they get from hurling insults at people. Think about it. Macaws have more in common with that Mariah Carey impersonator than you think. Only next time you approach one, make sure you have a dollar bill in your hand instead of a cracker.

I was raped t-shirtWould you wear a t-shirt that sported the words “I WAS RAPED?”

Activist and t-shirt artist Jennifer Baumgardner has started selling pale pink t-shirts with the words “I was raped” written on a drawing of a card inside a safe. You can buy your’s here at her website Scarleteen.com.

Although the t-shirt could help women (and men) help to heal from the shame and humiliation of being sexually violated, I’m not sure that many people would feel comfortable in sporting this controversial statement. Do you think a more affirming message like- “I Survived being Raped” or “Start the Healing” would be better? It’s not as gutsy, that’s for sure. Why are so many blogs and even the New York Times not linking back to the page where people can actually buy the t-shirt and make a difference?

Kennidi makes no bones about being molested as a child, and we asked her if she would wear a t-shirt that said “I WAS MOLESTED” as a way of raising awareness on the issue.

Listen as we talk with Kennidi about the possibility of all the 2008 U.S. Presidential candidates being trannies, the reluctant town of Lunt who wishes it had a different name and the cursed heart that finally stopped beating.

Always full of sweet, nutricious juice- Feast of Fools.

Loved it when Kennidi just said cunt i laught out loud! good thing i was home alone ^^

What did I do today to feel fabulous and sexy? I took a hot bath first thing in the morning, before work, then put on a pair of underwear that make me look *a-ma-zing*.

i saw the scandalous kennidi at mary’s attic. i don’t think she recognized me, but she looked INCREDIBLE! those dollar bills don’t make themselves so i had to leave early to get to bed, but i was glad to contribute to kennidi’s scholarship fund. i love a tranny who gives back to her community by giving such important advice to the FOF listeners.

Scarleteen should get Tori Amos to endorse the rape shirts since’s she’s all about rape and being in your face. Her album Scarlet’s Walk was a big hit, too.

Love these kinds of shows where the guys just chat about news items.

Thank u Pete and everyone! I love doing the shows, the boys and I had a blast! I will be recording Tranny Talk 101 tonite at Mary’s Attic if u get a chance come out Pete…sorry I didnt see u, or didnt put two and two together. NExt time come up to me…

Hugs,
kennidi

Great show everyone…Don’t forget to eat your veggies Kennidi!

Kennidi…you and Tracy should be guests together soon…would be too funny. The 4 of you guys would keep everyone laughing their asses off.

input your comment here…Fausto, I’m a pup now? Ha ha ha, I know I’m a furry beast but damn.

Hey Kennidi, glad you liked the tounge, thought there was some chocolate too though *glaring eye*. And you know what they say about men from the South, we’ll eat anything! Also, if you’re not a big veggie fan Green Giant has new simply steam veggies that are pre-seasoned and damn tasty, they go great with some Bojangles!

I think the “I was raped!” t-shirt in the rape kit should have more on it:
“I was raped and all I got was this t-shirt and…”
- Ghonnerea
- Clamedia
- Syphillis
….

But then again, I am evil.

I ate the chocolate too! I have to keep this lovely figure! I do eat my veggies all, I love greens…i just didn’t eat the whole plate lol!

Much Love,
Kennidi

Awww Its about time Kennidi was back on a show. I missed her….
What’s this about not liking your veggies? Do you Like cucumbers ?

“I don’t like bars with loud music. I prefer to sit, talk and laugh w/ my friends.”

I’m with you. It’s bad enough that so many bars play thoompa-thoompa music, but it’s always so loud you can’t talk to anyone.

I am reading a book (Fish by T.J. Parsell) that ties in with your rape tale: the memoir of a ‘pretty’ guy with a white trash background who ends up in a mostly black prison at 17 and… well with the rape connection you can see where it is going.

Sounds almost like a porn movie but the reality is pretty twisted - a whole society within prison where sex drives go off-track in the absence of women. The queens have the respect of the men as they are the closest that those serving a long sentence have to an actual woman. And as a young’un you need to find someone who will protect you in exchange for sex.

Now I get where the down-low comes from: fucking a guy is seen a fulfilling a basic need, but doing anything like stroking a guy’s cock is seen as gay and means you’d be anyone’s bitch pretty much. As the writer was a budding but barely self conscious gay guy things get even more confusing for him. Twisted but very interesting. Not as homo-erotic as OZ but then there is no Christopher Meloni. (I’d be dropping the soap all over the place for that one.)

No clue about the author but I think he would make for a great interview:
CLICK HERE.

no… I just won’t start with the rape jokes, that’s a minefield I dare not enter.

But they mentioned why the French/Europeans are so skinny. According to a friend of mine the French
- don’t eat much at all
- don’t work out, hence requiring less nutrition

Also, observing fellow Europeans last summer I noticed how the mothers made their toddlers WALK everywhere where American parents would have put them in strollers.

And oh, Kennidi is fun! More Kennidi!

I got my masters degree from Arcadia University which, up until about 10 years ago was called Beaver College. Beaver College started in the 1800’s and was an all women school until the 80’s. It is rumoured that they changed the name because men didn’t want to go to a school called Beaver. Those who have degrees from “beaver” can get a new degree from “arcadia” if they want. haha

Straight men getting a degree from Beaver College - that would make for a great pick-up line! ‘Baby, I got the skillz and I got the degree to prove it…’ Can’t imagine why they would no go for it - would do wonders for their sex life.

This show was wonderful. Kennidi was hilarious. I can’t believe she ate all of her bacon bits and left the watercress on the plate! I loved the advice about trying to be the person you want to be inside and being patient with yourself as you accomplish what you want on the outside.
