Harajuku Girls

Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku girls have been getting lots of lip service lately, and I have to say I am confused. I like Gwen Stefani, she’s alright. She is very stylish and has a nice voice and a really flat stomach. She is a rock star, and quite good at it. I am always impressed by […]

From The Road

Note from webmistress: Margaret is busy on the road, so she asked us to thank you for all of the nice photos and emails and comments you’ve all sent in from the book tour. We love these! Thank you all for making it special! Hope to see you on the rest of the tour. Hello […]

Mapquest Equality

On my book tour, I have to be very good natured about all the racism and ignorance that I encounter because if I got angry at every single incident, I would wear myself out. It is difficult enough just to keep up with the schedule, with no sleep and no time for regular meals between […]

Save Tookie

I want everyone to know about this terrible injustice happening right now in our country. Please call or write the CA Governor and let our voices be heard. Here’s an urgent letter I received: Margaret, Although I could spend this whole email talking about how fab you are, more serious things are on my mind. […]

On the Road Again

Sorry I haven’t been writing at all lately. I am on my book tour, which is exhausting but really exciting too. The first reading was last night and it went extraordinarily well. I was able to see several friends and I hope to see more along the way. I will try to write more when […]

R.I.P. Warren Thomas

In the days of my youth, when I was an opening act (a job that I really loved because you got to watch the best comics in the world perform for free, and you could make about $50 per show doing it), I spent a weekend in Reno working a double headline bill with Greg […]

After the Show

The first thing I have to do whenever I come home from a belly dance performance is visit the false eyelash farm under the sink. This is a Mac eyelash box with several dozen pairs of false eyelashes mashed together in a jungle of black hair, old eyeliner and glue. It’s a gory, disgusting and […]

Support Our Shit

Tickets for our Los Angeles AFI screening are available, and if you can come support our film, I would really appreciate it. We are showing the film to potential distributors, and if we can prove that “Bam Bam & Celeste” has an audience out there, it might actually get to a theater near you. The […]

Gypsy 83

I just saw a film called “Gypsy 83,” which is wonderful and available on DVD. At the Toronto Film Festival, I heard people comparing my film, “Bam Bam and Celeste” to it, and so I was really curious. Who knew there was another fag/fag-hag road picture?! Where have I been? True, I am not always […]

Leela’s Arabia Exotica

I have been computerless for over a week now, and I feel desperate. Well, not completely – we have this old laptop that we keep around the house for Mac emergencies, but it has no “h” key. You don’t know ow muc you need one until you don’t ave one. I finally just broke down […]
