Johanna Fateman wrote a super interesting review of A Strange Stirring: The Feminine Mystique and American Women at the Dawn of the 1960s by Stephanie Coontz on bookforum. And, as if this that wasn’t enough, she also painted this amazing picture of Betty Friedan. You go girl.

I’ve been reading this book everywhere, the subway, the bath tub, before I fall asleep, whenever I have a spare minute.

Bridget Everett was voted the #1 Cabaret Act in NYC!!! And she deserves it. If you live in NYC or will be visiting please type her name in the search engine and see if she has a show playing. You will not be disappointed and could have your life changed. I recently performed at a cabaret show that Bridget hosts with Neal Medlyn and Kenny Mellman because the three of them are so fucking inspirational that they made me want to start doing stuff again. A big holiday to hug to everyone at Our Hit Parade!!!!

Here’s Erin Markey doing baby by Justin Beiber at Our Hit Parade.
