Even though we poke a lot of fun at Lady Bunny, we hold her in high regard as a gay entertainment legend. Listen to this in-depth interview where Bunny explains how she comes up with her material, why she dresses the way she does and why her mama is so gosh darn proud of her son/daughter.
[Originally posted on December 20, 2005.]
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.
From her hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Lady Bunny moved to Atlanta to go to Georgia State University. She then later moved to New York City to become part of a vibrant community of drag performers in the 1980s. She still resides in NYC but you can catch her act all over the world.
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.
Bunny’s blog is a sharp, politically aware and at times loopy take on current affairs and cultural issues. It is truly extraordinary.
Listen 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!

We all have days when we just want to tell authority figures, the teacher, the manager at work that you’re done with them and it’s time to go home and enjoy the rest of my life, and I could quit because of all of you.
Remember the “Bad Little Girl” who had enough of Linda? Well she’s all grown up now and doing ok.

How to Get into the Met Gala For Free
Another Met Gala has come and gone. The annual charity fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute always draws the world’s attention as notable artists, entertainers and the wealthy elite parade in lavish and often ridiculous outfits.
Despite not being in attendance this year, Lady Gaga managed to be the top shared celebrity on the Internet for her Guggenheim Museum inspired dress. The catch? It was all done with AI, while Gaga probably stayed home nice and cozy in a bath full of bubbles and a dart board with Madonna’s face on it.
Today we take a look at all the wet and wild news stories, like Lady Gaga and Rhianna’s fake Met Gala gowns, and how Pride Celebrations this year are shrinking in New York and Chicago.

Ménage à How Many? - Tristan Taormino
It’s Lesbian Visibillity week, where we take a look at some of the most wonderful women who have shaped Feast of Fun over the course of 20 years.
Just like no two people are alike, the relationships we develop in our lives will also be incredibly unique.
Before open relationships became more acceptable in LGBTQ+ circles, sex-positive writer Tristan Taormino was helping pave the way for people to expand their minds to new kinds of relationships.
We spoke to Tristan in 2008 about her new book “Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships” where she said a big factor in fufilling relationships was for people to defnine monogamy on their own terms, and that the best relationships complement each other instead of trying to meet each other halfway in everything.
Please enjoy this encore presentation of “Ménage à How Many?” with Tristan Taormino as part of our celebration of Lesbian Visibility Week and the design I made that became the modern lesbian pride flag.
