Once upon a time there were two gay men who happily lived in a little apartment on the north side of a big city. One Christmas they hot glued a ton of red garland onto an oversized coat and a magical costume was born, Pimp Daddy Christmas.
Fausto Fernós is the host of iTunes’ #1 LGBT talk show, the Feast of Fun podcast, which he produces and hosts with his partner, Marc Felion.
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Fausto Fernós created the Feast of Fools in 1998 as wacky artists variety show in Chicago, Illinois. Feast of Fun grew out of an audio blog to promote the live show into the world’s most downloaded talk show aimed for gay people.

Okay, Fausto? I generally liked what you did with my profile pic, BUT I have some quibbles!
a) You removed most of the green streaks from the front of my hair when you de-yellowed my complexion! The green was not an accident, it’s part of the dye job.
Reminds me of the early days of Star Trek, with someone unwittingly color-correcting the Orion slave girls. 
b) You did a good job smoothing my complexion, but you removed the dark beauty mark from my chin. I don’t mind losing the freckles and reddish spots, but the beauty mark is iconic. Quite prominent if you see it in person. I look weird without it
And finally, dude, I don’t feel obligated to be pretty all the time. Yes, even when I don’t have to bother with makeup and lighting. I like to change my look a lot. Sometimes casual, sometimes glamorous. I do appreciate the pic, and I’ll still keep it in rotation, but a gal reserves the right to change her mind.
You’re pretty all the time! All I did was just tidy things up, and put on a little lipstick on you.
Just leave the green in my hair! I need -something- for people to tell us apart
And actually, Fausto, it’s more than that. I don’t want to make too big a deal out of this, but I’ve been intentionally posting less-than-perfect looking photos of me as a way of trying to beat myself out of old perfectionistic habits, that used to have me subjecting myself to various eating disorders and absolutely hating how I looked.
Your retouching me without asking may have been well-meaning, but it was frustrating and felt like it was giving credence to that stupid self-hating impulse that tells me I shouldn’t be seen in public without makeup. I forgive you because I value your friendship, but please refrain from doing it again, or making me self-conscious by critiquing my unmade-up photos (or for heaven’s sake, broadcasting it internationally on the podcast!)!
