Enrique Fuentes to write tell all book! - by N.L. Belardes
In between coughs (I have the same ill that illpressed has been fighting) I had a phone interview with Enrique Fuentes, Queen of the Downtown Fur. It was a planned interview as she has a few exciting projects that she was willing to discuss. Here's the interview:
N: So Enrique, what’s all this fuss between Baketown, me and you?
E: Oh Nicky, it’s not a fuss, it’s just some catty chatty talk. I do it all the time with Paulo since he wants me back and all. We say we hate each other, but it's all about love and understanding our differences. With that said, you need to quit with that fiery temper and put her link back up… I saw what you did!
N: I probably will. I get passionate about my causes. Wait a minute, I’m interviewing you!
E: Typical male. I knew I would cause a stir with my top ten. I can’t help but to express my faboo opinions in glamorous ways.
N: Yes, you do that very well. I’ve heard a lot of laughter on your latest, as well as on your Dysfunctional Theatre review of Robin Hood. I noticed Danielle Belton even keeps writing about the glitter scenes...
E: I do love glitter, but you need to be snapped at because they’re not dysfunctional as much as they are brilliant glam pieces! Don't make me pout!
N: So should I give them a different name?
E: No, mama’s fine with it. I like the attention.
N: (laughter)You told me over lunch on Friday that you have two goals for this year. What are those?
E: Well little hoochie writer boy, I’m glad you asked. You’re so pretty over the phone when you have bronchitis. You sound like a sexy barroom hoochie man... You should call me at 3am... jajaja!
N: You lose focus so easy. Do you even remember the question?
E: Ay! You’re like a copacabana boy who only wants to take my order! Now listen because I will whisper… There are two things I want to work on. One is a podcast. I want to call it something like, ‘Enrique Talks to You and You and YOU! Episode 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…42’, you know, there’s a new episode number after each title. We would have some fun intro music. We would talk Bakersfield and fashion and music and theatre and me…
N: That sounds really cool. When do you hope to begin?
E: Well I don’t know I am still sort of letting the idea hang from my mind like a new purse. Letting it grow on me, you know, baby boy? When I have all my ideas like shoes in my closet I will start chosing pairs... you'll see.
N: What’s your other project?
E: A book.
N: You’re not…
E: I am! I’m so excited about this I want to get some big hoochie hat with a veil for when I write because my secrets are just that sacred! Shout it! Jajaja! Yes!!
N: That sounds great! You have a lot of fans who would dig a book by you. Can you tell us something about it?
E: Oh sure. Well, my working title for now is The Queen and I, although I thought about calling it The Catty Chatty Book of Dreams, or Mama Doesn’t Need a Perm, by Enrique Fuentes: Queen of the Downtown Fur... The story itself… oh you know I don’t kiss and tell, but in this book I would. I would tell all! A little about growing up in that hoochie town of Delano, a little about me and Paulo, my adventures with Rico the Paparazzi, some pillow talk, some of my catty chatty sessions with Neneng Tea and Kay Kay Jones, some music and theatre potty talk, and a big sprinkle of fashion like glitter on every paragraph to make it all shine. Girls have to flaunt it and I plan to. You could hear the snap before I did it, couldn't you, hoochie boy? Snap!
N: (more laughter) That sounds like a great book… have you already started it?
E: Honey, I won’t lie, I’m almost done with it.
N: You’re almost done?!
E: Oh hush, you know I'm acting like Nicky doesn't know anything about it when you really do.
N: I’m trying to hype you up here…
E: Honey, the only hype I need is Captain Kenny Filthy Pants singing to me while I’m wearing a vintage alligator skin sleeveless by Kapal, for that really tantalizing night of punk star dreams…
N: OK, then when can we get an excerpt?
E: Just as soon as mama decides to kiss and tell. Mama has to think. You have to have just the right gloss for a kissing booth, a little tease, a little softness, and just enough sticky to make them want to get in line and do it all over again…
N: So Enrique, what’s all this fuss between Baketown, me and you?
E: Oh Nicky, it’s not a fuss, it’s just some catty chatty talk. I do it all the time with Paulo since he wants me back and all. We say we hate each other, but it's all about love and understanding our differences. With that said, you need to quit with that fiery temper and put her link back up… I saw what you did!
