Episode 20: The Club Kids Killing / The Fox Sisters
We're back with a packed episode!
Also, our bff EDIE is back on the pod today, woohoo!
We start out in New York City 1996 with Kevin's True Crime Story. He tells us all about the tragic killing of Angel Melendez, one of the iconic Club Kids of the New York party scene. Before this gruesome death, The Club Kids were a brash, in-your-face, fabulous, party machine full of misfits, weirdos, and queers, including RuPaul, James St. James, Angel Melendez, Amanda Lepore and Lady Bunny. Anyone else who didn't fit in during the daytime was invited to the party. Unfortunately, drugs, an excess of debauchery, and Rudy Giuliani led to the downfall of queer nightlife.
But the gruesome killing of Angel by Club Kid impresario Michael Alig and his friend Freeze Riggs shocked everyone. It's not for the faint of heart.
Then, for the Spoopy Story, Miss takes us to 1848 Hydesville, NY to tell us about the Fox Sisters and their spiritualist abilities. Well, they weren't so much 'abilities' as scams, but for a long while, they made their money.
