Ep 28 - Divine (Part 1) [with Peaches Christ]

Big Diva Energy

We're back, Divas!

It's been a long, cold January, presumably made all the colder without your regular dollop of diva. And we missed you all terribly. But we've returned from our self-imposed hiatus, ready to bring a bit of glitter back to the shitter.

And phwoar, have we got something special to kick off the season.

First off, our subject this week was a genuine one-of-kind. They could call him fatso, they could call him asshole, he didn't mind - but we just call him DIVINE.

And to top it off (and we can't quite believe we get to say this), but our extra-special guest this week is the equally incomparable PEACHES CHRIST (@PeachesChrist), who is not only a genuine, documentary-appearing expert on Divine but also a living, breathing friend and fiend of John Actual Waters.

We can't even.

So come with us, Divas, as we journey through Divine’s childhood in Baltimore, say hello to his fabulous ex-girlfriend and equally fabulous mother, all the way up to the world-changing moment he met pencil-moustachioed auteur himself, one John Waters.

Along the way, we discover Peaches’ early dealings with the ire of the sweater-gays, Tom’s very early introduction to Pam Anderson’s Barb Wire and, of course, we talk about the ever-changing mug of drag.
