Kathy Griffin is bringing her holiday show to town!

-






What?!  


OMG!  How did I not know my favorite female comic was coming to town?  I have got to get a ticket to see her!


So, how come this vanilla, married mother of two adores the outspoken, wicked Kathy Griffin so much?    


Because Kathy's brave and funny and not afraid of taking on the school yard bully, that's why.  In this case, the school yard bully happens to be the shameful legislation known as "Prop 8."  


In case you missed it before, I had the honor of guest blogging for The Bilerico Report regarding a particular episode of Kathy Griffin's show "My Life On The D-List" which aired, July 27th, on Bravo, (Episode 8, Season 5) when she took on a more serious tone than usual.  


That particular show started off with a declaration of war on the California Supreme Court's decision on the constitutionality of Prop 8 and followed her as she marched to Sacramento on the eve of California Supreme Court's decision on this.


What can I say?  There are so many reasons to love Kathy Griffin.  She's quick, she's honest and she's a survivor.  





And also because she is a fellow straight chick who isn't afraid to say "You mess with the gays, you mess with me!"


That's my kind of girl!

Last night I made my way up and out of Orange County to go see Mysterious Skin, written by Prince Gomolvilas now enjoying it's Los Angeles premiere at East West Players. ***Note:  I am not a reviewer.  I am not a critic.  (I married one, which is why I can say with confidence, I am not this.  If you want real reviews of Mysterious Skin  you'll have to look to other publications wise enough to have send their press in to cover this show now running at East West Players.) Me? Currently, I am just an Orange County mom who loves theater almost as much as she loves writing.  (True, I used to act, but now I just "mom."  And I write.  But, again to clarify: Not a critic.) And these her blogged thoughts are just my day-after impressions after having seen some great theater in Los Angeles last night. I have to say, I was in a hurry.  I had my kids to juggle,  too pick up from their schools...Dance classes, etc.  Hustling them hom...

I Feel The Earth, Move, Under my Eyjafjalajökull!

Amazing dueling footage of Mother Earth's astonishing fury, both real and as imagined by Disney. (Note first clip of visible shockwaves from  the crater at Eyjafjallajökull.) Other than when you saw Disney's Fantasia, when have you ever before  seen  red glowing lava as well as volcanic bombs flying through the air? Then again, you could always skip real life and fast-forward to Disney's  Fantasia's Rite Of Spring : I think I need the soundtrack of "Dueling Banjo's," here...
