Meet Miss Foozie, an icon of Chicago's LGBTQ+ community

As we celebrate Pride Month, we want to introduce you to an icon in Chicago's LGBTQ+ community and nightlife: Miss Foozie. "I'm all about love and family, friends, bringing out some energy. That's Miss Foozie," she said. "You can be who you are just by creating a character that brings people joy and love." Miss Foozie is a character created by a great guy named John. Nearly 30 years ago, some friends convinced him to put on a costume and a wig, and take the stage at a North Side bar. "The owner came up and said, would you be interested in doing a show here? It was a joke, just for fun, and it just started," she recalled. "And here I am, 28 years later. Wow. Crazy." Miss Foozie is in all sorts of places, representing the LBGTQ+ community at her pet Pride events, making the crowd laugh at Miss Foozie's Bingo Night and welcoming guests at a drag queen brunch. But she wants to make something clear. "John is me, Miss Foozie is me; I'm the same person. He and she are the same, but when I put this on, I'm her," she said. And Miss Foozie reminded us she's a character, not a drag queen, even though she has the utmost respect for them. "To me a drag queen is someone who likes to change their look at a lot. Their hair is incredible. They look almost like a real woman," she said. "I' ma character. Character artist. Always stay the same with different outfits; that is a character." And those outfits sure are something else. "I have an incredible wardrobe, maybe 50 outfits," Miss Foozie said. "For the holiday, you know, a little holiday Miss Foozie. Then we have Valentine's. Everything has the letter F for 'Foozie.' There's a lot of fun stuff here." She also has a wall of fame featuring people she met at different events and fundraisers, including drag queens and politicians. Two of her favorites are the late comedienne Joan Rivers and actor Mark Ruffalo. "Joan Rivers, I spent an evening with Joan Rivers. It was incredible, so excited to meet her," she said. "I was with [Mark Ruffalo] at a charity event in Wisconsin. We raised a lot of money for that fundraiser. It was great to spend time with him." She also shared some of her prized possessions, including several awards for commitment to the LGBTQ+ cause. "I was included into the Chicago LGBTQ+ Hall of Fame," she said. "My award's there, and I look at it every day and I'm so excited to be a part of the community. You represent the community, you represent being out there, letting people know you can be yourself." And live fully from your heart. "Life is here and gone, you want to spend as much time as you can enjoying every minute," said Miss Foozie. "We need fun, we need energy in this world. We need love, that's why Miss Foozie's here. Love everybody. That is Miss Foozie." Miss Foozie said she really loves it when people recognize her at parades and events; it means so much because she knows she's shared some love. You can see Miss Foozie at Drew's on Halsted the first Sunday of every month, and Cesar's Home of the Killer Margarita on the first Thursday of every month. Do you know someone a person or place that brings you joy? We want to share your story. Send us your "Eye on Chicago" ideas using the form below (or clicking here):

Renfrew Pride celebrates with a race and a community picnic in downtown Renfrew

Renfrew – Last Saturday's Renfrew Pride Picnic in Low Square was certainly the most colourful and diverse event held so far this year with non-stop singing and dancing throughout the day. The event, sponsored by Renfrew Pride and pflagRenfrew County, attracted visitors from Pembroke, Arnprior, Ottawa and Quebec who enjoyed music, artistic performances and a barbeque lunch. In celebration of Pride month, two events were held and organized by members of the local LGBTQ2S+ community. Renfrew hosted its second annual Colour Run that started from Ma-te-Way Park at 10:30 a.m. with runners, walkers and a couple of cyclists heading out on a 3.5 km trek along the Millennium Trail, Lisgar Avenue and the Algonquin Trail to the finish line on Railway Avenue and Low Square. When the first of 10 booths/display tents opened at 11 a.m. there were several curious visitors and residents who found a spot and enjoyed the beautiful sunny skies along with musical performers. Some were treated to a special reading by Pembroke resident and drag queen Toxxic Waist. The bombastic artist, along with her special friend, Minnie Mouse of Disney fame, read stories to both children and adults and encouraged members of the audience to join them when they sang songs. Among the displays were information booths with literature and pamphlets explaining the importance of the day, handmade jewelry and crafts, and food tents. Volunteers were kept busy handing out free hot dogs and hamburgers to more than 150 people throughout the day. When she wasn't busy entertaining the crowd, Toxxic Waist took a moment to reflect on the symbolism and importance of Pride Month (June) and the rare chance for members of her community to be among those who accept them as they are. 'Events like the Colour Run and this picnic are held not only to celebrate the amazing diversity of our community, but it allows people to come and meet us and get to know us and hopefully educate them on our lives and how we just want to live our lives in a safe, welcoming environment,' she said. 'We want people, especially young people, to understand it's okay to be different and it's okay to be yourself. And, of course, we want to have fun.' Error!

Betty White and Bea Arthur apparently had an ongoing feud on ‘Golden Girls,' says producer

Thank you Betty White and Bea Arthur for being a friend on 'The Golden Girls,' even though those behind the show now say it was all an act. The tea was spilled during a panel of writers, producers and others who worked on the show held at NeueHouse Hollywood on Wednesday evening as part of the monthlong Pride LIVE! Hollywood festival, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 'When that red light was on (and the show was filming), there were no more professional people than those women,' said co-producer Marsha Posner Williams of Arthur and White – who played Dorothy Zbornak and Rose Nylund, respectively – 'but when the red light was off, those two couldn't warm up to each other if they were cremated together.' Williams also said Arthur 'used to call me at home and say, 'I just ran into that c—' – referring to White, using the c-word – 'at the grocery store. I'm gonna write her a letter,' and I said, 'Bea, just get over it for crying out loud. Just get past it.'' And it happened more than once. 'I remember, my husband and I went over to Bea's house a couple of times for dinner. Within 30 seconds of walking in the door, the c-word came out,' Williams said of Arthur's continued off-color references to White. 'The Golden Girls' ran from 1985 to 1992 on NBC, and is now celebrating its 40th anniversary. In addition to White and Arthur, Rue McClanahan starred as Blanche Devereaux and Estelle Getty as Sophia Petrillo. The show revolved around a quartet of female retirees in Florida and explored their friendships with one another. Williams added at the event this week that the hit series 'would have continued after seven years,' but didn't, most likely due to the feud between the two actresses. 'Their contracts were up and … the executives went to the ladies, and Estelle said, 'Yes, let's keep going,' and Rue said, 'Yes let's keep going,' and Betty said, 'Yes, let's keep going,'' Williams recalled. 'And Bea said 'no f–king way,' and that's why that show didn't continue. … And Betty would break character in the middle of the show (and talk to the live audience), and Bea hated that.' Theories as to why the women didn't like each other ranged from White getting more applause from the audience during the cast introductions, to Arthur coming from a more theatrical background than White, who found fame on TV. Panelist and series writer Stan Zimmerman also discussed how despite there being LGBTQ+ storylines – including a quickly-scrubbed gay housekeeper character in the pilot, and Blanche's brother coming out as gay – he felt he had to remain closeted during those times, and received support behind the scenes. 'Our first day on the set, we noticed Estelle come running towards us, and she's like … 'I know. Your secret's safe with me. You're one of us,'' Zimmerman sad. 'I thought she meant Jewish. But she meant gay. She wasn't gay, but she was probably the first ally ever.' In addition to being a huge mainstream hit, 'The Golden Girls' has a special place in LGBTQ+ culture thanks, in part, to the ladies' biting humor and retro styling. The show racked up 11 Primetime Emmys over the course of its run. Getty died in 2008, Arthur in 2009, McClanahan in 2010 and White in 2021.
