FOF #481 - Respect the Va-Jay-Jay - 02.14.07
We're joined today by two fabulous lesbians Cat Jefcoat and Tamale. Cat is the Managing Director of the Lesbian Community Cancer Project (LCCP) and her good friend Tamale is a burlesque performer and comedian.
We are happy to have the gals in the house to discuss, among other things, the upcoming The 16th Annual Coming Out Against Cancer Ball, sponsored by LCCP.
In case you don't know, LCCP is Chicago's foremost lesbian/bi/trans womens health care advocacy group and public education. They go all over the state training health care providers, providing LGBT cancer support (note the G means they are now including gay men). Organizations like LCCP keep health care organizations, pharmaceutical companies and doctors on track to remind them of the specific needs of their LGBT patients.
Their Annual Gala is the event of the season for lesbians. Listen for details on how you can win tickets to LCCP's Annual Gala Ball. The theme this year is "Flappers and Fedoras" so pull out your vintage fringe dresses and smoking jackets and represent! We'll be there with bells on. Come be on our podcast! We'll be taping live from the floor of the event (look for us in front of the multi-racial chocolate fountain.
Marc has this idea in head that Rosie O'Donnell is the new Magic Eight Ball. Do you remember those toys that gave you answers to life's questions? Well according to Wikipedia, ten of the possible answers are variations of "yes", five are ambiguous, and five are variations of "no".
Today's show begins with a dramatization of some of the questions submitted to Rosie O'Donnell's blog. Nothing like a "Riding the Bus with my Sister" impressions to make us all fall out.
Why is Rosie the new Magic Eight Ball? Well, on her blog, rblog you can ask Rosie one question a day. Rosie is mostly forthright in her answers but sometimes she gives answers that are vague, ambiguous or answers that look like they fell out of the back of a haiku truck. It's very reminiscent of the strange answers you'd get from the eight ball. One of our favorite answers is "Breathe, Awaken" which she gives to a nut job after he criticized her.
We chat about the woman in Florida who got "miffed over muff" because she drove by a theater which had "The Vagina Monologues" on it's marquee. She was so upset because she had to explain to her niece what a vagina was. The theater ended up changing the marquee to "The Hooha Monologues." Now, she's going to have to explain what a "Hooha" is. Why are kids so darn curious?
Relax, breath and awaken your inner lesbian to the Feast of Fools.

Wow the Rosey magic eight balls was great. I really don't like Rosey, never have, so I am A-OK with you guys making fun of her.
I know for a fact that I am not going to win those tickets, how would I know how many labias a woman has, thems stuff sounds gross. Don't get offended but fausto could you tell me what a labia is? I swear penises are so easy to name the parts of.

Jonathon, we don't make fun of her because we don't like her. We make fun because it's fun to make fun. Very little is sacred here. If you are not A-OK with people you like being mad fun of, you aren't going to last long here, because someday soon we are coming for your momma.

Happy V-day guys!!! Excellent show as always. I went to Rosie's website to ask her a question and it says she's not taking any more questions right now. I wonder if it's a direct result of your show. Things that make you go hmmmmm.

That "what's a vagina" girl is going to pull a Carrie on her mother when she haves her first period.
Great show as always.

Building on what Marc said about spoofing Rosie, I have heard it said that in order for one to make a good parody or spoof of something, one must first start from a place of respecting it. Otherwise, the parody can come across as mean and hateful. I may be way off base, though.
