FOF #213 - That's Why the Lady is a Tramp - 12.20.05
Subversive and perversive,THE Lady Bunny joins us today to talk about her debut DVD "X-Rated: For X-tra Retarded" a video collection of her greatest hits from her nightclub comedy act.
Originally born in Chattanooga Tennessee, Lady Buny first moved to Atlanta Georgia to go to Georgia State University and then in the 1980's moved to New York City to become part of a vibrant community of drag performers.
Lady Bunny's probably best known for organizing and founding the New York City Outdoor Drag Festival Wigstock, which in 1995 became the subject of a documentary "Wigstock The Movie" directed by Barry Shills.
In addition to emceeing the annual Wigstock event for over 20 years she's a well known DJ, promoter, and comedian.
Her blog on her web site, ladybunny.net, is a sharp, politically aware and at times loopy take on current affairs and cultural issues and recently featured a photo of herself next to Jeff Stryker's penis, which claims to be one of the largest penises in the world. And from the looks of it, I dont doubt it!
Llisten to Lady Bunny talk about Pamela Anderson and the Comedy Central Roast, the politics of drag and her former roommate RuPaul, and her mother Lady Becky, who threatens to run onto the stage and steal the show with her tambourine. Wouldn't that be a sight!
Visit Lady Bunny's website and buy "X-Rated: For X-tra Retarded"
Also a lovely holiday present, the Feast of Fools 2006 Calendar.

Horray for Lady Bunny!!! It was an awsome interview although she was sounding a bit like Lauren Becall after a few cigs and a swig of scotch.
I'm off to get my copy of her DVD!
I'll send you some warmth from S. California!
Your Leather boy in Ca,
Buzz

I can't believe you finally got your interview with Lady B.! Did Mr. Coddington help you out on that front? What a splended interview! This interview was so timely, as I had just finished reading the article "Lady and the Tramp" in this week's issue of the NYC rag Next in which Lady Bunny and Michael Lucas take turns reviewing each other's new DVDs. It's hilarious, if you haven't read it (and LB looks spectacular in the photo!
Love you, Lady Bunny!!! Take care of that throat - Fausto, I know you said Lauren Bacall, but I was thinking Brenda Vacarro....
Love; Ciao!

One more thing - I found this and wonder if more Lady Bunny will be included on the DVD than there was on the broadcast show:

Fantastic interview... Lady Bunny proved what a great sport she is with all those questions you were asking. :) All jokes aside, the lady has class, and she proved it in this interview.
Your interviews are so great because you regularly stump the guest with a question he or she hasn't considered before. I love that.

This was my first experience with the show, which I thought was going to be another fag show about glitter and fierceness...but DAMN i loved every single minute of it. The conversation was so enjoyable, and I was impressed with many of the questions that the boys asked LB and equally with her responses. Thank you guys for such an unexpected treat! I am hooked and currently downloading podcast after podcast of Feast Of Fools. Thanks! Cheers, Enrico
