FOF #224 - Leslie Hall, the Glitter Goddess - 01.13.06
The keeper of "thy gems" Leslie Hall is without a doubt a HUGE internet phenomenon. Just about a year ago Leslie was one of our first interviews on our podcast, where she had started getting the attention she deserved for her iconic photographs of herself with her hundreds of gem sweaters.
You may have seen a gem sweater on the lady at the checkout counter, on your high school home ec. teacher or on that lady that keeps on raving about the bible. But you've never seen anybody own it and reinvent it like Leslie Hall.
This past weekend, Marc and Fausto hanged out with the Gem Sweater Diva herself as she got ready for her fabous live performance at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago, Illinois.
Did you know that Leslie's mom REALLY does make her gold pants, and pretty much anything she wears onstage. This frees up Leslie to concentrate on her music, her graphic design, the development of her website and shaking her body onstage to a seismatic intensity.
To this date Leslie is one of the most popular musicians on myspace and holds an internet following that rivals our own! (We brag, we boast.) Follow us as we talk to Leslie while she transforms from the cute college co-ed to the lighting hot rock and gem diva she was meant to be.
Heads up! If you ever go see Leslie in person, make sure you go to your local thrift store and get yourself a fab gem sweater. Remember how much you paid, because the tacky girl will ASK! Then look out, because you'll be showered with praise and perhaps even more. You'll just have to take our word for it. It's a religious experience.
Check out these HOT photos of us with Leslie Hall in Chicago.

I didn't think it was possible, but your Leslie Unplugged interview made me love her even more! It was great to meet you both, and I'll always cherish the moment when Fausto called me 'sexy.' ::swoon::

OMG this has to be the best episode you've had in months!
I love Leslie Hall. She is out there, proud and strong and I love her for it! I got her CD the last time she was on your show and I haven't been the same since.

WOW. I read a small bit about Leslie in the December or January issue of Instinct magazine. Admittedly, I was in disbelief when I saw her picture and read the sidebar in the magazine. Thanks for bringing her alive. I would LOVE to see her! Thanks Fausto and Marc, another great show!
You two really should quit your day jobs and just make more content for the rest of us consumers!

what a gret show....I wish I would have caught Leslie while she was here in Chicago -- sounded like a really good time and she seems to draw really cool people.

Woah. What can I say, guys? I've been in LOVE with Ms. Hall ever since your phone interview with her last year! GOD! She is pure genius! I am heading out now to raid several local thrift stores in search of the perfect gem sweater! I only wish I had her moves (and those incredible Gold Pants)! Thanks for illuminating yet another major star (er, gem) in the Internet sky! Love; Ciao.

ATTENTION ATTENTION! This podcast is OUT of CONTROL. You managed to momentarily corner the uncontainable essence of our dear goddess of glittering glory. Leslie's reverberating rhinestones light an alternative path for fellow artists and resonate with the beats of prioritized creativity. Good work fair henchmen of the gemmed word. You have succeeded in reflecting Leslie Hall's dancing brilliance to enlighten the grey cashmere of the populus.

Is Cold the "Hot" new word for 2006?
Said by: Fausto at January 16, 2006 04:18 PM
