FOFA #224 - Leslie Hall, the Glitter Goddess - 05.08.06
Today we look back at a very special "behind the scenes" show where we talked this past December to the glitter goddess, Leslie Hall. Enjoy!
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 December 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.

Just got through yesterday's podcast. Loved that lesbian, she needs to be on again (if you can trace her).
I sent that shameful Y.M.C.A vid the other day...oh how I just found something of me that is equally shocking! (boo, hiss)

Said by: Ben at May 9, 2006 04:19 PM

nice show...really like that girl get her back!!
Said by: Michael at May 9, 2006 11:38 PM
I'd never heard the Leslie Hall show before so it was nice to hear someone with soemthing different to bring to the table (but where's Ronnie). Loved Leslie's website and the videos, I've forwarded them onto people in the UK so who knows? 'Leslie Hall live in London' would be hilarious. It would be great if someone genuine got a break for once!
