AMAZIAN OF THE WEEK! Margaret Cho
It’s no secret that we think Margaret Cho rules. She is, for us, a personal and professional hero. Not only do we love her, we want to be her–bold, brave, loudmouthed, political, funny, a gay icon, a chick with a dick, and proud wearer of pasties. (Kidding on that last part–we wouldn’t be caught dead in pasties). That she decided last week not to appear on Ellen so as not to cross the writers’ picket line just makes her that much cooler. Thanks, Margaret, for breaking down so many barriers in your career and, in this case, respecting one that really matters.

Oh phew! When I first read this headline without my glasses on, I thought it said that George Clooney is setting up a “meditation panel” to help deal with the strike. And I was like, dudes, meditating on this is not going to solve anything quickly…

gOh, Sandra, gOh!
Hey y’all. I just returned, completely invigorated, from the Writer’s Guild march down Hollywood Blvd, which ended in front of the landmark Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.
A bunch of speeches were made in support of the writers’ strike, but the best was saved for last. Our gal Sandy “Rae” Oh took the podium and called out the major studios and corporations who are cockblocking the writers, including Fox, Viacom, General Electric, and her own employer, Disney. She even suggested “not going to Disneyland” and boycotting products made by the studios. It was ballsy and awesome.
Only problem was…
…for the life of me, I couldn’t get a shot of Sandy Rae without her making one of her signature awkward faces. You know what I’m talkin’ about.
Oh well. She’s still my hero. And DISGRASIAN promises not to make a crack about her awkweirdness again.
At least until this strike is over.
