Josh Kilmer-Purcell led a double life in New York City in the 1990’s. During the day he worked as an art director for a major advertising agency. At night, he wore a pair of acrylic breasts filled with water and live goldfish and under the name Aquadesia.
Also known as Aqua, he worked his routine with our very own Miss Understood at Lucky Chang’s, a popular drag-entertainment Asian restaurant in New York City. Aqua won many contests, but the wild thing about her life is the excess of her existence-booze, drugs, hooker parties, bondage freaks and a hustler boyfriend.
On the right is a Wigstock publicity photo of Josh Kilmer-Purcell as Aqua. Note the live goldfish in his costume!
On todays show we discuss his new book “I Am Not Myself These Days: A Memoir.” Josh’s book is tale of being in love with the wrong man in the wrong way. This troublesome romance starts in a drunken mess and ends, well… we don’t want to give it away so you will have to read it to find out!
In Josh Kilmer-Purcell’s memoir you might see the influence of his good friend James Frey, author of the highly debated book on everyone’s lips: “A Million Little Pieces.” Listen to Josh speak candidly about the “frey over Frey” in the publishing world, the ramification it presents to his own book, and Oprah’s reaction to Frey’s missteps.
Delicious, pernicious and nutritious, the Feast of Fools.
