Today’s show is hot hot hot! We’ve got two intense performers, internet sensation Chris Crocker and drag war drag queen Regina Upbright.
Chris Crocker’s back with a hot new single- Mind in the Gutter- and it’s on top of the charts.
Click here to get it now on iTunes for 99 cents.
Join us as Chris talks about why he left YouTube, will he ever come back, the inspiration for launching his music career and which videos never made online- what was on those videos?
Chris also tells us about a certain model ex-boyfriend who he recently broke up with. In case you missed our first interview with Chris Crocker done in May of this year, be sure to check it out. Click here to see the Mexican soda pop commercial Chris made with Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite.
Regina definitely ended up a causality after her last appearance on the Feast as Fools in an episode we now lovingly call the drag queen wars. You can read the comments yourself about the public’s and her fellow drag queen’s reaction to the show. Let’s just say, it wasn’t kind.
It’s hard to keep a good bitch down and Regina is back to tell about the subsequent fallout over her words about a queen who did or didn’t “know her words.”
We also chat about which local drag queen looks like Jocelyn Wildenstein and the horrors of plastic surgery. Just how did this wealthy New York City woman get any doctor to allow her to look so bizzare? How much is too much? Would you get it done? And if so, what? We want to know!
Say hello to Haunea- the penis shaped planetoid named after the Hawaiian god of fertility. It is one of five know planetoids and has two satellites “Hi’iaka” in honour of Hawaii’s patron goddess and “Namaka” a water spirit.
Nepal grants legal rights to lesbians, gay men and trans people. Bishnu Adhikari, 21, became the first person to receive a “third gender” classification on a legal document.
The musical highway gets paved into silence. A section of a California highway had grooves cut into the road surface to play the William Tell Overture which is alos the theme to the Lone Ranger. neighbors complained that it was noisy and sounded awful.
All this and more on today’s Feast of Fools!

September 23, 2008 at 03:11Regina is an AMAZING performer. Her makeup is always flawless, her outfits are always amazing and she rocks every song she does. She’s a true drag queen who shouldn’t be knocked for silly comments. Love you, Regina!
RyanK says:
September 23, 2008 at 03:14Oh, and if Mercedes ever finds out you guys posted that photo of her, she is going to KILL me. Ha ha ha ha, oh well! What you said was true, she does look like that Jocelyn chick in the photo.

September 23, 2008 at 03:51That HOT WET part that becomes RIGID and gyrates and undulates with abandon!

September 23, 2008 at 08:13As someone who has left a community or two in disgust when lots of people got on my ass because they couldn’t handle me being better at the “bitch game”… I can say a few things Miss Regina:
1. You’ll be back
2. You won’t spend time acknowledging those looking to hurt your feelings.
3. You’ll be better than ever.
Also, remember, there is something to be said for having private heart-to-hearts with people who attempt to piss you off or read you wrong. Either they listen to you and you reach an understanding, or they refuse and you know they’re concerns are selfish and you shouldn’t give two turds about what they think about you.
Also, Congratulations on getting Chris Crocker back on the show. His life is probably going to be very sordid and interesting, but he seems like a sweetie through and through.

September 23, 2008 at 09:09Leave it to Regina to tell the world she doesn’t spit! LOL
And yes, Jocelyn did intend to look like a cat. Crazy huh?
I say live up to being a bitch! I’ve embraced it and I say to anyone, just like Whitney Houston said, Kiss my ASS!”
Michael says:
September 23, 2008 at 09:53Fausto - Thanks for calling me the best drag queen without makeup, that’s the nicest thing anyones said in a long time : -)
Wonderful to hear from Regina and great to hear from Chris Crocker…..so can I video tape you and Chris in the bathtub?
Mike says:
September 23, 2008 at 13:58What is this feeling? I guess I never really gave Chric Crocker much thought. It’s only been through the FOF that I have come to know of him.
I really like his new song. I couldn’t tell you last last “dance” music I bought. Living up here in Fairbanks, Alaska I’m usually only exposed to folk banjo hillbilly music (which is great btw).
Thanks to FOF for keeping me in the loop and My Mind in the Gutter.
CharlesVer33 says:
September 23, 2008 at 14:10Yeah me too, I’m one of those people who never heard of Chris (I know, I know) until you guys had him on the show, then I became a big fan and now I’m totally enjoying his new song and can’t wait for the album to come out.
xChickengirlx says:
September 23, 2008 at 17:54UGH… Chris Crocker… sorry i had to fast forward thru that part.. but the rest of the show was great as usual!!
tommyboymtl says:
September 23, 2008 at 18:23Chris Cracker- a singer . you can be sure that i won’t be buying that shit. He should just fade away.. i say in a couple of years he’ll be nothing but a self hating wreck.
RcktMan says:
September 23, 2008 at 18:27What a fun show! I met Ms. Upright at Amanda’s reveal party and we had a lovely time chatting… and then I saw her again just that same weekend in Saugatuck, working out OUT on stage. She’s a great gal and a really talented performer. I’m glad she was back on the show!!!
And Chris… well what can one say? He’s blazing his own path, and he’s gonna make it. You have to admire that.
corey says:
September 23, 2008 at 21:29Margaret Cho’s got a single out now too. And a really funny show on Vh1. Gotta get her back on the FOF…
dave73 says:
September 24, 2008 at 01:56This is a much more civilized episode with Regina Upright. A lot better than the last one. But I still don’t like Chris Crocker, even after being on the last show. And I don’t like his new song either. But he has his fanbase, and I’m glad to not be a part of it. Hope you’re back on a future show Regina. If things go as planned, I’ll see you on October 5th.
Christian83 says:
September 24, 2008 at 18:52Chris Crocker surprised me…maybe I underestimated him?
Also If you are drunk the pictures of Regina and Jocelyn Wildenstein don’t look so different.
Regina UPright says:
September 25, 2008 at 09:41THANK YOU RyanK for your unfaultering support. It is nice to know I have ONE friend out there that supports the art of Female Impersonation! Loves you!
ox, R-
ps. Christian83, if you are drunk… you look like a nelly bottom!
PureeTofu says:
September 25, 2008 at 12:19First gay singer?
First gay dance song?
Jim V. needs to beat his face. Or maybe Dangerous Muse?
Meh, anyway, Regina you’re awesome on the show.
Kev says:
September 26, 2008 at 17:19I love that Mind in the Gutter song! Damn, I can’t stop listening to it. I even put away my evil illegal music downloading tendencies so that I could buy the song off iTunes like a decent person!
