Patrice and Marleah drink Dirty 30 Martinis and talk bidets, trickster blacksmiths, swamp farts, killer ticks, and Louisiana vampires.
The Legend of the Fifolet //
The fifolet is Louisiana’s version of the will-o-the-wisp, a floating fire that tempts people into the swamps. Some say it’s a devil, some say a lost soul, and some say it’s a guardian of pirate treasure. Scientists have talked about the phenomenon for hundreds of years. Is the fifolet self-combusting swamp gas, or something more sinister?

All Hail St. Germain! //
Beware of blood sucking tick and white women with 70s afros claiming to be the reincarnation of The Comte de Saint Germain!
The Comte de Saint Germain ( born circa 1691 or 1712 – died 27 February 1784….but did he really?) was a European adventurer, with an interest in science, alchemy and the arts. He achieved prominence in European high society of the mid-1700s. St. Germain used a variety of names and titles, an accepted practice amongst royalty and nobility at the time. In order to deflect inquiries as to his origins, he would make far-fetched claims, such as being 500 years old, leading Voltaire to sarcastically dub him “The Wonderman.”
Two-hundred years later Jacques Saint Germain immigrated to New Orleans from France shrouded in mystery and claiming to be the Count of St. Germain!
