Speaking of beauty tips, I’ve been reading Mamie Van Doren’s blog. She is so incredibly progressive for her age. She writes about Pussy Riot, Universal Healthcare, and throws in advice on hair care, etc. She was making movies in the 1950s, so she goes WAY back.

Margaret Cho and Mamie Van Doren: two amazing women from two different generations, but I’d love to hear you both in conversation.

Been a while since I commented on your blog…I too was thinking of books today. I don’t read like I used to, I spend too much damn time on the internet. I went to a job interview for Booksmith on Haight St. I would love to work at this funky bookstore which has the same feel (although much much smaller) as Powell’s in Portland. SF has that damp, leaves everywhere, drizzly quality you described so well, now that we are entering our rainy season. Of course, you know SF well. I first developed a bit of a crush on you from watching YouTube videos of your stand-up from the nineties. You were hot!! But I was having a crush on an image that was twenty years old. But I prefer the current Margaret Cho, whom I can relate to much more than the younger Cho.

It’s so nice to hear about someone loving our city as much we do. I hope we’re making you feel welcome!

I was born and raised in Oregon (Silverton to be exact) I couldn’t wait to leave this state and go anywhere but here. I traveled and did a lot of crazy stuff none of which I regret I had a blast during that time. I spent 10 years away from my home state and finally moved back. I lived in Portland for about a year my wife loves it there. As a photographer there are endless photo ops my favorite was just hoping on the Max and people watching. It was always interesting to see how the business people would shuffle away or make a disgusted face at the street people getting on. I have always wondered what their story is. I love that you only have to go a couple blocks and you are in a different culture of Portland. My favorite part of Portland is the Mississippi Ave area not only can you get great beer, down home southern cooking, amazing pizza, but if you find yourself in need of new toys you can stop into Shebop the all girls toy store. I was always warned about staying away from the food carts in the past but that is where the best food is in Portland. I don’t know if you like the outdoors but if you want an adventure and see some really beautiful waterfalls you should make a trip to Silverton those waterfalls will leave you speechless. You are in a location (as you already know) of endless fun and beauty. Enjoy your time in Portland I can’t wait to see you again your Vegas Pride show was awesome.
