A Vibrant Mardi Gras with Renowned Artist, Becky Fos & Krewe of Orpheus' Celebrity Monarch- Bianca Del Rio

Holy smokes you guys. This show is the epitome of Mardi Gras! 

Super Artist, Becky Fos' canvases depict radiant, deep-hued oysters in a rainbow of colors too beautiful to eat, and her pelicans and alligators are adorned with crowns, celebrating their iconic status. These hallmarks capture the imaginations of collectors around the world.

Fos herself embodies—and her artwork mirrors— the profound joie de vivre that defines New Orleans. “When people see my art I hope that they experience joy and escape the reality of what they are going through and enter a technicolor world filled with all things happy,” she explains. “Sort of like in the Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy clicks her heels and she is transported into the land of Oz. There is so much sadness and hatred in the world, so I would love to be an ambassador of color for humanity to make the world a brighter, happier place.” 

Listening to Becky as she so passionately opened up to me really touched my heart. In a world of darks and grays- be neon. 

I HIGHLY recommend checking out Becky Fos' gallery at 2138 Magazine Street in New Orleans!

Yall listen to this! Inspiration can be found anywhere. Especially, HERE.

Due to the popularity of our next and beloved guest's personality, I have chosen to run this interview without sensors. It's too funny to sensor it. 

*Listener Discretion  IS ADVISED*

Bianca Del Rio, dubbed “The Joan Rivers of the Drag World” by the New York Times, is a dimple-cheeked, larger-than-life drag queen and outrageous comic who isn’t afraid to shock and offend. Fierce, funny, and fabulous, she has cemented her place in the pop culture Hall of Fame since appearing on the Emmy-Award-winning RuPaul’s Drag Race. Thanks to her snarky frankness, impeccable timing, and politically incorrect humor Bianca won the show’s sixth season as a fan favorite. She has since been named one of New York Magazine’s “Most Powerful Drag Queens,” where they described her as “the queen of all Drag Race queens” due to her dynamic career of comedy, hosting, and successful global tours.
