FOFA #1203 – Green Acres Goes Gay

Josh Kilmer-Purcell was once Aquadesia, a popular drag queen living in New York City. True to her name, she was known for wearing a custom made acrylic bra that held live goldfish.

Josh turned his wild experiences into a book, “I Am Not Myself These Days“- one of the best drag queen memoirs ever.

Since then, he’s traded his goldfish in for herd of goats. Josh and his partner Dr. Brent Ridge from the Martha Stewart TV show bought a rustic farm in upstate New York named Beekman 1802. Life on the farm is now the focus of Josh’s new book, “The Bucolic Plague: How Two Manhattanites Became Goat Farmers” and a reality TV show on the Discovery Channel’s Planet Green, “The Fabulous Beekman Boys.”

The TV show, set to premier on June 16th, is a real life green acres gone gay. What happens when a gay urban couple try to earnestly make it as farmers? There’s lots of funny moments and delicious organic homegrown food.

Join us as Josh tells us about his journey going green, his bizarre friendship with Shirley Phelps, the matriarch of America’s best known hate group the Westboro Baptist Church and why Oprah loves to give him full body hugs.

Also, what is the key ingredient that Goat Milk Soap and Crystal Meth share in common? And what’s the difference in milking a cow, a goat and a man?
