Oconomowoc’s Most Famous Former Drag Queen?
Is Josh Kilmer-Purcell Oconomowoc’s most famous former Drag Queen? Maybe. According to his “possibly not generally notable” Wikipedia entry, Kilmer-Purcell allegedly spent some of his formative years a resident of our fair city.
Kilmer-Purcell’s drag persona, known as “Aquadisiac,” was allegedly renowned for sporting a pair of goldfish as part of her attire; a single fish swimming in each of her ample breasts.
The thing is, Aquadisiac does not appear in the Ocono.com go-to drag queen reference book: “Drag Dolls” by Roundtable Press. Henceforth we’re not sure we believe in the genuine existence of Aquadisiac. That being said, we’re willing to accept that a persona such as Aqualicious can exist only in a fictionalized sense on the internet, and to that end, we point you to Susan Henderson’s LitPark.com where you can read a fantasic interview with Kilmer-Purcell and have a gander at PETA’s angry letter sent on behalf of Aqua’s bodacious Carassius auratus.
Anyway, the whole reason we bring this up is that we wanted to point you to a video we found on the interwebs.
According to its MySpace description, this is a reading of a 27 year old handwritten screenplay discovered in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. It actually comes from Josh Kilmer-Purcell in celebration of the day of the release of his new novel, Candy Everybody Wants.
Candy Everybody Wants is described by one Amazon.com reviewer: “This novel goes from gay and ridiculous to even more gay and more ridiculous.”
Anyway, Harper Perennial, Send us a review copy. Like “Daughter of the Queen Of Sheeba” before it, we suspect “Candy Everybody Wants” is surely going to be a staple of Oconomowoc literature.
