An interview with Enrique on the H-word

Oh honeys I was in a very fun interview the other day with Flower in the Dale who asked me questions for a big collegiate report she is working on. I did my best to help her understand what makes Baby Ricky wear such great fashion on those crazy lazy Hollywood streets. Oh fashoo! Oh faboo! Talk to me now! Enjoy!


Flower: What is your age?

Enrique: Not telling. I use only the best creams to keep my eternal Happy Days youth. Where are you my dreamboat Fonzie?! Jajaja! I’m under 29, honey.

Flower: How old were you when you decided that your sexual preference was homosexuality, or that you were attracted to members of the same sex?

Enrique Fuentes: I’m not sure I would even use the term homosexual to describe the Queen of the Downtown Fur. I’ve never been fond of typecasting. Just think of all those John Wayne movies. All those cowboy films never would have landed that Pilgrim a role on Melrose Place or Friends. Once you typecast, then you leave room for people stereotyping you and I don’t want anyone judging me for mixing Nordstroms shoes with a May Co. blouse. I’m just another human being, plain and simple. I will say that at a very young age I had a strange attraction to Jean Luc Piccard of the Starship Enterprise…

Flower: From your perpective and life experience, do you consider homosexuality to occur because of society influences or because of natural circumstances?

Enrique Fuentes: What girl doesn’t want to be 100% natural? We only
enhance who we are to be accepted. Now run to me and
shout because you love me!

Flower: Can you recall any incidents or influences in your life that may have influenced you in your sexual preference?

Enrique Fuentes: Yes, I distinctly recollect the day I was born as one filled with ovarian, womb and vaginal trauma. Now, if you want to go back from whence you came then shake it like you mean it. As for Baby Ricky, I would rather hit a high-rise dance floor with great heels, a knock-out wig, and my arms around Paulo and Rico... shout it!

Flower: Do you believe that homosexuality differs according to gender, and if so how does it differ?

Enrique Fuentes: Oh honey, everyone’s different. I was once in a fashion bazaar and saw three women trying on three different Versace prints and none of them were a hit. Well, not until they put on pumps and wrapped their necks in some great tiger print scarves. See, it’s all in the accessories. Whether male or female, we have the freedom to choose, now don’t we, sister? Jajaja! OK, you want a serious answer so mama Ricky is going to tone down just a little. Let me explain: Boys come in all shapes and sizes with a full platter of personalities: flaunt it like they got it and if they’re like me and lucky, they become fashion experts and drama queens. Girls are just girls, and I just want to be one.

Flower: Are you open to the general public in regards to being homosexual?

Enrique Fuentes: I have a public blog that is part of thebuzzblogs.com where I talk a lot about what many people might call ‘issues’. That’s just hoochie talk! I write about me and if people in their love to hate want to label me that dirty “H” name, then they’re just missing a great personality, a perfect salsa dancer, a girl who won’t kiss and tell, and a Hollywood vixen who loves all men in tight pants.

Flower: Do you experience discrimination from the general population due to your sexual preference?

Enrique Fuentes: I’m like everyone, honey. I don’t want to be stopped at the market for my Valentino handbag unless it’s you saying, “Oh my god, Baby Ricky let me love you for two seconds!”

Flower: What about discrimination within the workplace?

Enrique Fuentes: In Hollywood?? Oh Pshhaw darling! Pshhaw!

Flower: If homosexuality is a natural condition do you feel there is something a person can do to change their sexual preference?

Enrique Fuentes: I’d like to think Sean Connery, Angelina Jolie and Enrique Fuentes can change the way you share make-up tips on a regular basis honey.

Flower: If homesexuality is a nurtured condition do you feel there is something a person can do to change their sexual preference?

Enrique Fuentes: Oh honey I have to get to the post office with this one and deliver you an airmail kiss! Mua! I just say flaunt it if you got it… be who you are! And only change with fashion! Now shout!
