We have no idea what to wear for our Halloween costumes. Last year I followed my favorite theme, which was to combine costume clichés into a hilarious new combo, kind of like peanut butter and […]
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.
When he’s not blogging, recording or sleeping, Fausto can be found at the gym or appreciating the beauty found in nature.

You say there’s a fire in your pants. huh, well my don’t you let me blow out it for you.
ohh I’m stealing last years costume and going as Knight/Vampire
Ha, when I was listening I wasn’t wearing any pants to set on fire!
Here’s my idea:
Marc as Waylon and Fausto as Madame.
Keith and the Girl start all of their shows with a prayer and “L’Chaim.” It’s one of their trademarks, along with the general avoidance of allowing their real faces to show in pictures.
How about a dougnut and a cup of coffee as your costumes? Or Fausto as Super Grover and Marc as Cookie Monster.
In 2001: A Space Odyssey the HAL 9000 broke down and went haywire killing people just like all our iPods will do someday.
Great show but now I have that song I want to live in america stuck in my head it’s just too catchy to resist.
The largest bill in circulation is $100. The largest bill is $10,000 but it pretty much was made to sit in stacks in bank vaults and be used for really large banking transactions (like, the federal reserve might give them to the state branch or something). I don’t think you would even get a bank to cash a $10,000 bill because they would know that if a standard person had one they probably stole it or forged it.
Cheers boys, glad to hear you are no longer being weathered
Dress up as really big turds…cotton filler, brown trashbags and some creative additions such as corn..peanuts…etc..
Growing up in the frozen north, Halloween always came well after the first snowfall… So we would get all dressed up in our Halloween costumes, and then proceed to pull on snow pants, coats, hats, mittens, and boots. Then we would bundle into the car, and our mom would drive us around to the nearest neighbors (since it was a mile or two between houses).
We’d waddle up their driveways and proudly announce, “Look! I’m a…” [unziiiiip, shuffle-shuffle-shuffle, ziiiiip] “Ladybug!”
Hmm, warm Halloween costumes… Yeti? Werewolf? or just a guy with a lot of body hair — Burt Reynolds?
First – Halloween: Fausto as a Cake (that has been defiled, just a little) with the feast of fools logo etc.. and Marc can be the splosher!
OH, and there is no second, sorry.
Correction on my original post:
That should have been Marc as Wayland Flowers and Fausto as Madame.
Check out this YouTube video and see if you don’t agree:

how bout one of you go as an undercover cop and the other as larry craig in a bathroom stall… you could get a big refrigerator box, make a door in it.. add a glory hole….
Well, you knew I would be chiming in on this one. LOL!
Rick, I don’t remember seeing you at the pit, but then again, I was on all fours most of the time. LOL! My inner pup didn’t take well to the big crowd, I kept to the sidelines most of the time.
As far as fetishes go, there are many reasons why people have them, and many people have them most of their lives, it’s not something that one creates to keep sex interesting. People may introduce new forms of kinky sex to spice up a boring sex life but a true fetish comes from inside. Who knows where these things come from. There are some that say they are imprinted at some point in our development. I have a friend who’s a diaperboy who says he realized at a very early age that he wished he didn’t have to give up diapers and as soon as he was able to get ahold of them he would wear them under his clothes. I think a lot of my fetishes came from my inability to deal with my sexuality. I developed a major hair fetish because my mom was a beautician and she would never let me go to a babershop or salon to get my hair done the way I wanted, so I became obsessed with other guy’s hair, and as I started getting into puberty I found that by looking at guys’ hair I would get really aroused. I think a lot of that came from the fact that I was really aroused by the guys but with my Catholic upbringing I didn’t think it was possible for me to be gay, so I turned my sexual energy to a non-threatening part of the male body. My fascination went from hair in general, to short hair, to buzz cuts and shaving, so even today I can’t walk past a barbershop without peeking in hoping some hot guy is getting buzzed or a headshave. I also have a fetish for guys who shave their bodies, but I didn’t notice until the first time I saw a guy who was totally smooth and it was the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen. So, sometimes they are just in there somewhere waiting to come out.
As for Halloween… there is a great mp3 floating around the net with Stevie Nicks in some interview talking about the allegations of her being a witch. She denies it and goes on to say something to the effect of… for Halloween I always wanted to be a witch, I didn’t want to be a hot dog or a box of kleenex.
What the hell kind of Halloween parties did she go to??? But that quote always made me want to grab Buzz and actually go out as a hot dog and a box of kleenex, but he would never go for it. So there you go Marc and Fausto, live my dream. LIVE MY DREAM!!!!
And lastly, Marc, when you said “this is Fausto’s ass talking” I almost drove off the road I was laughing so hard. That needs to go in the Best Lines From FOF gallery. 🙂
Hmmmm… Now here we go again about fetishes and what gives a person that “urge” to explore.
It will vary from person to person. First off, you have to get over the fact that not ALL individuals get into fetish/BDSM because of some underlaying abuse in their past. Trust me, I was in a seven year “vanilla” relationship and only within the last 5 years explored my boundries in alternative sex-styles. I just didn’t pop into electricty one day, it took a little time and, ahem, practice and I’m still learning and exploring! But I don’t set my limits for just electro either… I’ve also gone as easy as hot wax, flogging, and to the extreme of fireplay (not for beginners!).
For me, my fetish/BDSM lifestyle is always expanding. I draw the line at permanent scars, life threatining, or physical damages (brusing, etc). There are risks to all BDSM, but as a well informed sub I am willing to accept those risks (just like skydiving!).
There are individuals who may think BDSM/Kink/fetishing is “sick”. I say “Fuck em!”… It’s not a sickness nor does it make me a “freak”. It’s made me more aware of my personal growth potential and to overcome the stigma set by society that all sex must be in the “vanilla” realm. For those of you interested, I would suggest some reading by a good friend of mine, Midori (www.planetmidori.com). She’s a great fetish diva and teaches several classes throughout the USA and Europe to all genders of all sexual orientations. Her writings may inspire or actually shead some light into your questions!
Okay, I’m at work and can get seriously busted…
Your Personal Electro-guy,
Buzz
By the way, It was great hearing Rick the Rocketman on the show today…and talking about singing into someone’s ass. Reminds me of Shortbus.
Fausto knows that those machines are called EFT, Electronic Funds Transfer
I didn’t know that untill I became a cashier.
I loved hearing Rick on the show, too! I like hearing listeners on the show (Rick, Dave, Curtis…) — makes the FOF experience one big self-referential mobius strip. Woooaaah…
p.s. David — You are so right! Especially with all the Mae Westiness of late… Fausto would make the perfect Madame! And I think Marc would look great in a bowler.

Buzz, I’m quite happy to be a “freak”, thank you very much. LOL!
I think exploring one’s sexuality is as important as exploring all other facets of one’s personality. I cringe when I hear someone say “Don’t play any rap, I hate rap”. Well, I may not be a big fan of rap but I’ve heard some rap songs that I really like. How would I ever heard them if I closed myself off and never allowed any rap to be played near me. I don’t like pudding, but I’ve tasted it. I’ve tried a few different kinds to make sure I didn’t just try a bad recipe. Same with sex. If you say, “I’ll never try that, it’s too weird” then you may be passing up on something that you might actually find really pleasurable.
PupDon, is that all kinds of pudding, or do you just have an aversion to vanilla? Had to ask! 😉
Thanks for all the comments! I had so much fun last night! I felt like Mae West was sharing my brain for a while there… huh… is that all we shared, big boy? Whoa!
LOL! Maia, I love moose, but pudding is just not my thing. It’s the consistency, not the flavor. Strangely enough I don’t mind Vanilla Ice Cream. 😉
Well Fausto, since you always like to add vampire teeth to any costume….why not do a different take on that and dress up as a vampire but with hillbilly teeth!
You could do that cliche switching characters thing, where Fausto is Marc and Marc is Fausto.
Rick, you were very funny, and I’m glad I heard ya.
Thx for the show.
Fausto: Lucky the Leprechaun complete with a box of Lucky Charms
Marc: A Spoon.
Then Fausto can say “Spoon Me!” all night and
Marc can say “You’re Magically Delicious!”
I love all these “twist” costume ideas (dressing up as marc, dressing up as a hillbilly vampire)
Hey guys thank you so much for the shoutout to Singaporean listeners!!! I appreciated it a whole lot, and I’m sure everyone else in Singapore does too. At least you guys now know Singapore, as modern as it can be (just wiki it up and you can see some pics of the country), is really backward in terms of attitudes towards gays and minorities.
Recently some of the celebrities in Singapore did a youtube clip to create more awareness about repealing the anti-homosexual law. you guys can watch it here :
Once again, thanks for the shoutout Fausto Marc and Rick! Love your podcast and love you all!!!
Dang the youtube link didn’t come out… Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTGrzte9ZjQ
YAY shout out to me!!!! Darlins if Mae was alive now, she be listening to the show and participating on the thread! It’s hilarious to hear you guys personify the Dueling Mae West thread!
KUDOS!
How about dressing up as two of the founding fathers of our country– only dress up in them during the way they died?
For example, in George Washington’s time, bloodletting was a common health remedy….while the president was in fact quite sick in his last days, it is now known that he died much earlied due to blood loss from the leaches affixed all over his skin. Ugh. Imagine– you get to wear wooden teath, wear a frilly outfit, and have nasty-looking leaches hanging off of your skin!
Another example was Alexander Hamilton, who was impaled in a duel, was he not? You could walk around with a sword stuck through your belly.
I’m sure there are more ways this theme could be explored…
