Maria Conchita Alonso is a Renaissance Woman<br />
as she has done it all and is on the prime of<br />
her career. She has starred in films with Robin<br />
Williams, Michael Kea<strong>to</strong>n, Ted Danson, Arnold<br />
Schwartezeneger and Sean Penn, just <strong>to</strong> name<br />
a few. Her television credits are countless, both<br />
in the USA and Latin America. She has starred<br />
on Broadway in Kiss of the Spider Woman and<br />
her singing career has earned her a Grammy<br />
Award nomination and made her an international<br />
star. She stars in the new film, ¡He Matado a<br />
mi Marido! (I Killed my Husband!) premiering<br />
next month. Maria and I had a long chat about<br />
a variety of <strong>to</strong>pics, from her illustrious career <strong>to</strong><br />
politics, activism and her favorite charities.<br />
Congratulations on the upcoming release for<br />
your film, ¡He Matado a mi Marido! (I Killed my<br />
Husband!). How was it <strong>to</strong> work on this comedy<br />
with the writer and direc<strong>to</strong>r Francisco Lupini<br />
Basagoiti?<br />
Yeah, we don’t pronounce the “H”; don’t look at<br />
the “H”. It’s going <strong>to</strong> be a controversial I believe,<br />
but it’s good, politically incorrect is good. I see<br />
Francisco, our direc<strong>to</strong>r, who’s in his late 20s, I<br />
see a young Pedro Almodóvar, but maybe a little<br />
more class, I don’t know, I mean Pedro is amazing,<br />
as long as people know about the movie and<br />
go see it; it’s a going <strong>to</strong> be a huge success.<br />
Tell me a bit about your character.<br />
<strong>This</strong> movie is so fun, my character, she is a completely<br />
crazy woman, I never played a role like<br />
this one before, I loved it so much, if they said<br />
<strong>to</strong> me that they messed it up and have <strong>to</strong> shoot<br />
it again, I would have said, when? When do we<br />
start? That is how much I love it, I loved working<br />
on this film and that’s how much I want people <strong>to</strong><br />
see it. continued on page 44<br />

was an authentic reflection of the bordello<br />
he grew up in. It was much <strong>to</strong> our delight<br />
<strong>to</strong> find out that his first born son, Richard<br />
Pryor Jr. grew up <strong>to</strong> be a fabulous gay man<br />
and a fierce drag queen!<br />

Twitter question: Is Cheer a symp<strong>to</strong>m of<br />
a larger societal problem of objectifying<br />
women at all ages and enforcing negative<br />
ideals of pretty, popular girls. It also seems<br />
very sexualized. Being a gay football player,<br />
it was <strong>to</strong> me, very cringe worthy and brought<br />
out the worst in boys at a time no one was<br />
watching.<br />

Fabeyonce "The Lewks"<br />
It's very important <strong>to</strong> always wear something that<br />
represents you and your personality.<br />
Anything I wear, I make sure it has a part of me<br />
involved in it. I draw out all my costumes and<br />
make sure my seamstress executes it. When I<br />
go around <strong>to</strong> all fabric s<strong>to</strong>res in Los Angeles<br />
and locally, I make sure that the fabric I choose<br />
is right for me. I have <strong>to</strong> picture myself with<br />
the fabric on and think quickly what can be<br />
made from it. If you’re not quick <strong>to</strong> think, then<br />
you'll be standing around for hours, imagining<br />
possibilities and that takes forever (she don't have<br />
time for that).<br />
When I'm dressed up, I like <strong>to</strong> show off legs,<br />
chest, etc because I work my body with all these<br />
shapers <strong>to</strong> hide it. When you see girls on stage<br />
and you’re wondering, “Hmm… Why Is she<br />
wearing that costume? It doesn't compromise<br />
her body or her”, it's usually because they saw it<br />
online and right away purchased it. I have the<br />
hardest time online shopping. I hate it with a<br />
passion. The issue is if you find something you<br />
love and it sometimes won't fit like the image<br />
your seeing online or in the body you see it on,<br />
then you have no choice but <strong>to</strong> slip it on and use<br />
it. Now that it didn't fit, it's <strong>to</strong>rn or super tight<br />
and you look uncomfortable. You still have <strong>to</strong> do<br />
your job, put on a smile, and look like you are a<br />
robot (not cute).<br />
When you start <strong>to</strong> perform more often, you<br />
want <strong>to</strong> always LEWK your best and bring<br />
new material around these venues, especially if<br />
you’re gonna be there often. The same look can<br />
be pulled off twice a month, but don't push it.<br />
Switch it up a bit. I've seen some queens wear the<br />
same clothing every week, for about two <strong>to</strong> three<br />
months. It's gross and dirty and smells. Don't be<br />
a stinky queen. It's not cute and guests will not<br />
appreciate it.<br />
I've learned and I'm learning <strong>to</strong> do my best and<br />
bring the best whenever I'm performing. I like<br />
for everyone <strong>to</strong> see how much I appreciate my art<br />
and how I adore sharing it with everyone. Now if<br />
you’re an audience member reading this, please<br />
make sure you’re tipping your Queens, a lot of<br />
work and investment goes in<strong>to</strong> what we do, and<br />
every dollar is greatly appreciated and allows us<br />
<strong>to</strong> purchase nicer things for you <strong>to</strong> enjoy.<br />
Thank you all for reading this <strong>week's</strong> column and<br />
please make sure <strong>to</strong> catch next <strong>week's</strong> coming up<br />
love you all,<br />
Fabeyonce McMichaels.<br />
So best thing <strong>to</strong> do is save some of your coins and<br />
invest. Have a designer come over, measure you,<br />
and go choose some beautiful fabric. Have them<br />
whip you up something that everyone is gonna<br />
go crazy over, all the hard work pays off and trust<br />
me, the better you look, the more people want <strong>to</strong><br />
share gratuity with you. It's the small things that<br />
count, so add lots of details. Little s<strong>to</strong>nes, beads,<br />
feathers, whatever you For have over lying 23 around. years Online and in print facebook.com/desertdailyguide 29
AdamsArtExpose’ ART<br />
VISUAL ARTS, ARTISTS AND THE<br />
SUPER BOWL<br />
Yes, not only athletes but visual<br />
artists participate in the Super Bowl<br />
activities along with the performing<br />
artists at half time. The artist Charles<br />
Fazzino has been the official Super<br />
Bowl artist for the past 18 years. His<br />
art features a large birds eye view<br />
of the city where the Super Bowl is<br />
held. Included in the poster is detail<br />
of other aspects of the city with the<br />
stadium shown prominently and<br />
the logo of the two teams on either<br />
side with a football shooting <strong>to</strong>ward<br />
the sky from the stadium. <strong>This</strong> year<br />
the game is being held in Atlanta in<br />
the Mercedes Benz Stadium. After<br />
not finding an image of the current<br />
Fazzino official poster, I contacted<br />
him, and he sent the image for Super<br />
Bowl LIII found in this article.<br />
Charles also creates a line drawing of<br />
the poster that can be purchased and<br />
filled in with color by anyone.<br />
In addition <strong>to</strong> Fazzino's Super Bowl<br />
art, the city of Atlanta Super Bowl<br />
Committee, along with the Atlanta art<br />
group WonderRoot have participated<br />
in a project titled “Off The Wall”,<br />
AdamsArtExpose’<br />
sponsoring mural artists <strong>to</strong> design<br />
<strong>30</strong> murals <strong>to</strong> be prominently placed<br />
throughout the city featuring Atlanta's<br />
his<strong>to</strong>ry of Civil Rights and Social<br />
Justice struggle. One of the murals is<br />
a large multi-s<strong>to</strong>ry mural portrait of<br />
Representative John Lewis. He has<br />
represented Georgia in the House<br />
since the 1980's. He participated in<br />
the march <strong>to</strong> Washing<strong>to</strong>n with Dr.<br />
Martin Luther King. He was the<br />
leader of the Student Non-Violent<br />
Coordinating Committee and a<br />
prominent leader in the civil rights<br />
movement. He had been attacked and<br />
had his skull fractured by a rifle at<br />
the infamous Selma Protests. He has<br />
been representing the State of Georgia<br />
for the past 5 decades as a member<br />
of the House. Currently he is on the<br />
Judiciary Committee investigating<br />
the Trump criminal activities. He<br />
was honored at the completion of<br />
the mural in August of last year in<br />
Atllanta. He spoke with the muralist<br />
Sean Schwab who was putting<br />
finishing <strong>to</strong>uches on the mural and<br />
asked him what the asterisk was prior<br />
<strong>to</strong> the title *HERO. Schwab said it<br />
was just an added embellishment <strong>to</strong><br />
the title.<br />

The other murals around the area of<br />
the Super Bowl in Atlanta represent<br />
other events related <strong>to</strong> the civil rights<br />
struggle throughout the South and<br />
Atlanta. The Super Bowl and the<br />
arts correlation is helping <strong>to</strong> bring<br />
attention <strong>to</strong> the city of Atlanta and<br />
<strong>to</strong> the struggle for civil rights that is<br />
an ongoing endeavor that has been<br />
hampered by the present xenophobic<br />
racist administration of Donald<br />
Trump.<br />

Aside from leading the cast, your song<br />
“Enough”, is featured in the soundtrack. The<br />
song is an anthem of women’s empowerment<br />
and liberation. Tell me about that.<br />
It’s about enough. Time’s up, it’s like a song<br />
from the 60s. The music is very from that era,<br />
the movie has that vibe <strong>to</strong>o. It brings you back<br />
<strong>to</strong> that wonderful era. I would say that this is<br />
my new single. I put my career on hold because<br />
I became a political activist, <strong>to</strong> save Venezuela,<br />
so I put my career aside. So this is now the<br />
first single that’s coming up now. I paid for the<br />
song and I did the video, it’s called, “Shake it<br />
out”. You can see the video on YouTube. It’s a<br />
very fun song. But if you don’t have a team, it<br />
doesn’t matter how good the song is.<br />
You have had an extraordinary career in film,<br />
the theater stage and as a musician. How<br />
much improvements do you seen in entertainment<br />
in terms of opportunities for Latin<br />
talent?<br />
It’s a big difference. When I came here, it was<br />
very hard. I was very lucky. Because there<br />
are also a lot of ac<strong>to</strong>rs and actresses that are<br />
good and talented, but I was at the right place<br />
at the right time. I think nowadays, Latinos<br />
have more opportunities than when I got here;<br />
Roma has an amazing team behind it. If we<br />
have all the press that Roma had, we can also<br />
win forever, because it’s a very good movie.<br />
You have been a staunch advocate for LGBT<br />
Rights throughout your career. Tell me about<br />
your LGBT fans.<br />
You have been very vocal on political issues,<br />
about your birth country of Cuba as well as<br />
Venezuela, where you grew up. A rollercoaster<br />
of change has happened in Cuba and Venezuela<br />
in the last ten years, with the latter in<br />
turmoil. What are your thoughts on the current<br />
situation?<br />
But nothing changed (in Cuba). Cuba has been<br />
under the regime for sixty years. Nothing has<br />
changed. The people there are still <strong>to</strong>rtured.<br />
The people still don’t have food. The ones<br />
that live well are the ones that are under the<br />
regime. The <strong>to</strong>urists have everything but the<br />
Cubans don’t. So that hasn’t changed. And in<br />
Venezuela, it’s been now twenty years, because<br />
Cuba owns Venezuela, controls Venezuela. It<br />
started with Chavez. Chavez is the one that<br />
brought all this misery, Maduro who was<br />
put there by Fidel, Fidel <strong>to</strong>ld Chavez <strong>to</strong> put<br />
Maduro in power because they could control<br />
Maduro very easily, even so more than Chavez,<br />
because Chavez was very strong, egotistical and<br />
very intelligent, Maduro is nothing of that, he<br />
just does what he is <strong>to</strong>ld <strong>to</strong> do, and so Chavez<br />
did it. But also, the election in Venezuela, the<br />
regime has controlled the elections, it’s who<br />
counts the vote, you know, so the ones that<br />
count the vote is the regime.<br />
Do you identify more as a Cuban or a Venezuelan?<br />
Venezuelan. I feel Venezuelan. There is nothing<br />
that I can relate <strong>to</strong> Cuba. I was four years old<br />
when I left. I was born in Cuba, but thank God<br />
that I was not raised there under this Communist<br />
regime.<br />
I’ve had one of my songs which is called,<br />
which is called La Loca, the crazy one, in some What is your favorite charity or cause?<br />
countries the gays play it as their anthem. It’s I created an organization called Vee Fauna,<br />
important <strong>to</strong> say that in Mexico and some it’s not a non-profit yet, that one I created<br />
<strong>to</strong> help animals, but I work <strong>to</strong>gether<br />
Latin American countries, gay are called Loca,<br />
so it’s a way <strong>to</strong> reclaim the word. So they laugh with another foundation, Luchemos por<br />
at it and the important thing is <strong>to</strong> laugh at you<br />
la Vida, a non-profit one for eleven years,<br />
and 42 with The you. original Gay <strong>Desert</strong> <strong>Daily</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>. View our Free Digital Version on-line.<br />
Let’s fight for life, an organization that has
an orphanage where three-hundred of the<br />
kids have HIV, and it also has another for<br />
elderly who have been abandoned because<br />
they have mental illness, I united with<br />
them, we each work separately but we also<br />
work <strong>to</strong>gether, like last March I did an<br />
event here, we were able <strong>to</strong> help seventeen<br />
foundations, a little girl had her surgery,<br />
she was born with elephantiasis, we helped<br />
this girl who is so beautiful, has normal<br />
feet now, I do help and speak up for breast<br />
cancer, for children and the ones that have<br />
no voice, the animals, the children, the<br />
elderly. When somebody calls me says can<br />
you do this commercial for us, and ask me<br />
<strong>to</strong> help, I’m there. Because I believe that<br />
everybody can unite <strong>to</strong> help. It’s the only<br />
way that we can make things happen when<br />
a lot of people <strong>to</strong>gether doing something<br />
good for others.<br />
Aside from the film, do have any other<br />
project <strong>to</strong> mention?<br />
I worked on a series on Netflix called THE<br />
I-Land, it’s a lot of fun and that’s coming<br />
out this year. I play Natalie Martinez’s<br />
mother.<br />
Tell me a secret-a good one!<br />
I have a fetish with plastic. It’s horrible, it’s<br />
horrible, because plastic is bad for nature.<br />
But I am addicted <strong>to</strong> plastic, not just plastic<br />
that you get at the supermarket, but<br />
the ones that have a zipper like cute bags,<br />
I would love <strong>to</strong> jump in a pool full of,<br />
no water, but plastic, I don’t know why. I<br />
mean, imagine jumping in a pool with just<br />
plastic. It’s so much fun.<br />
