Description

Jess is joined by Ben Rimalower (aka Countess Luann’s cabaret director) for the Fire Island deep dive of our dreams. Ben and Jess share an intense affinity for the history and culture of the gay safe haven hamlets of Cherry Grove and The Pines. We go deep on our first experiences of FI, history of The Invasion and the Meat Rack, discuss share house culture, being sober in the wonderland of sex & drugs, Provincetown vs. FI, Ben’s experience at the infamous Pines Party this weekend, the underwear party, Andy Cohen on the beach and a lot more!
