FOF #2624 – Miss Understood Looks at the Wild, Juicy, Messy 90s.

The early 90s were wild, messy and outrageous times. At the height of the AIDS crisis, after a decade of Reagan and Bush, performance artists, comedians, musicians and drag queens were all busy challenging their audiences by sticking yams up their butts, throwing poop at them, and sucking whipped cream and cherries off their toes.

So why does it seem like people today are more outraged than ever? Is this just a false perception due to social media?

Today New York City drag legend Miss Understood joins us to take a look at the outrageous acts of performance artists and drag queens of the early 90s and how a prom dress caused such a confused controversy over cultural appropriation on the Internet.
