Oh! where Have I been?

Hey Kids,

Many years ago I started this blog to discuss my life and all of my crazy
goings on. I've had an interesting life so I wanted to share it with you all.

Honestly, I got bored for a while, plus I've been working both as an extra and doing live shows as of late that I haven't had the time to dedicate to the blog. I was thinking of hiring a ghost writer but that wouldn't be fair to you all..

I have had so much fun talking and communicating with you all over the years and I have made so many friends from this blog that I feel I owe it to you and myself to continue it.

Yes, that's right! I will continue this blog starting on January 2, 2009. I'll need a day to recover from New Years Eve thats for sure....

I will pick up where I left off as to not leave you hanging like those british shows..LOL....

Kids, I love you all and I'll be back in the new year to fill you in on my life, the good, the bad and the ugly...

kisses,

MargOH!

Just don't know what to do

Hey Kids,

I know I stopped posting on my little blog. Things had gotten so hectic with show's and extra jobs that I lost track of my life..LOL. There is much to tell and I know I Left you all hanging about my Aunt Trudie and of course I didn't get to tell you about Aunt Fawn's little affair with a world class figure skater...

I'm going to re-tool a bit and be back to keep you updated on everything, Oh yes and Berna ,my wardrobe mistress was fired from the letterman show so she's around more...not really sure if I'm liking it..too many people ruffling my feathers.

I do love all of you and feel I owe it to you to keep you in the loop on MargoH!

Kisses, m

Coming Home Again

Hey Kids,

Wow, this has really been a wild month and my emotions are really raw....I've been drinking my tears rather than champagne as of late. I found something out this week that has changed my life forever but then not really. I just don't know....so I'll tell you..

Well , kids, you all know that I've been on the hunt for my Aunt Trudie and hired a very crafty team of PI's to search for (Blatton, Blatton and Blatton). They are fantastic, some of the smartest people I've ever met and that dog of Theirs Nobby is just an amazing dog. In one of my last posts I explained that we were just getting to the south of France, which is just gorgeous, but as soon as we got there we learned that Urilla (Aunt Trudie) had made her way to a place called "The Villages" , a 55+ community in Florida...ugh..

Jane Blatton introduced me to a man that had been in business with Aunt Trudie named Jacques Banquette and that they had been an item at one time. This was all so strange because the aunt Trudie I know was a dyke to the highest order... He also told us that Urilla had no memory of her life before 1969....Aunt Trudie had Amnesia???? He also showed us several pictures of a girl that ranged from when she was an infant up until 16 years old, that girl was me
and scribbled on the back of the pictures was the Phrase "My daughter, Haddock" and the year...of course you all know my real name is Haddock, anyway Jacques went on to explain that Urilla (Aunt Trudie) said that the girl in the picture was her daughter and she was sure of that, but she could not remember where she had come from and had no way of contacting her.

At this point I knew Aunt Trudie(Urilla) really had Amnesia because I'm not her daughter. It was sweet that she had all those pictures of me and honestly she seemed more like a mother to me than my own Sully...Jacques supplied us with Aunt Trudie's address after I showed him my boobs, don't ask... and I said goodbye to the Blatton's of Blatton, Blatton and Blatton because their job was done. They cost me a pretty penny so MargOH's gonna have cut Berna's pay again...but they were worth it!

On to Florida I went with Berna in tow, I called Sully to give her an update and she flipped out. She told me to get my ass back to NY and that I had been scammed by these "Blatton's". She said that Aunt Trudie was dead and that was that and that all this was too easy too be true. I of course told her to screw and she then demanded i buy her a ticket to Florida for her and my Aunt Fawn....I did. So we all met at the airport and got in a limo to "The Villages". I'd never seen Sully look so weird, she was nervous and white as a ghost and Aunt Fawn was feeding her cod liver oil pills like candy, she stunk...On the way I told them that it seemed Aunt Trudie had no memory of her life before 1969, only after and Sully yelled out "Thank you , jack Daniel's" and her teeth flew out of her mouth and hit the driver...poor thing.

I couldn't understand why she was so happy about that....I spent an hour in the car with Sully, Berna and Aunt Fawn and god was it hot...when we arrived at the gate they asked who were we there to see and I said Urilla Wilson and they looked shocked and walked into the booth and picked up the phone, Sully seemed to be getting nervous again as the gates to this "Pleasant ville" like place opened.

As we pulled up to the address I saw a woman come running towards us with a baseball bat, screaming, I'm not going back, I'm not going back...........I rolled down the window and yelled out "Aunt Trudie", the woman stopped dead in her tracks and said "Aunt Trudie, who in the hell is that? I'm Urilla and i'm not going back to that hospital". Then she ran to the back of the limo.

I yelled out that we weren't from any hospital and that I was her niece, then Aunt Fawn giggled and Sully kicked her in the knee. I told her to put the bat down or I'd knock her over the head with the bottle of Jack Sully had in her bag. I got out of the car and through the darkness i could see Aunt Trudie's face change and she almost had a look of recognition. Then she dropped the bat and yelled "Oh my pussy lickin stars, it's my baby girl" and she ran over and hugged me. I didn't know what to do....

Kids, I'm getting a little emotional and need a bit of a rest. Didn't mean to leave you with this "Dynasty" Cliff hanger but I need a drink....Sully hand me that Jack

Kisses, MargOH!

I'm back

hey Kids,

Sorry for the delay in posting but the past week has been crazy and I have so much to type....I am working on a huge post...This update will be as big as Madonna's brothers revelations in his new book, I mean who knew Madonna was self centered and a major bitch!!....I'm Shocked...aren't you???

Anyway kids I'll be back as soon as i can type this damn post and drink 2 glasses of champagne at the same time. i think I would have mastered that by now...LOL

Kisses, M

On Trudie's Tail

Hey Kids,

I'm already off to France after a short stay in London and meeting the Blattons of Blatton, Blatton and Blatton and their pooch Nobby. When I arrived they had a stack of papers to sift through and a picture they found on the beach in France. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it...it was me as a little girl gutting a cod fish....Oh! how it did bring back memories of my days as "The Fish Mongers Daughter". A tear fell from my eye but then I was snapped out of it when they showed another pic of my mother Sully and Trudie together. This was odd because they hated each other so I thought but in the pic they were klinking beer steins together and shucking oysters with cigarettes dangling out of their mouths...very Americana...

Anyway, the lead Blatton told me that we needed to go to France right away because Trudie or what she goes by now Urilla was spotted eating at a cafe on the riviera by a Blatton private eye on location. We immediately booked flights, though I took the time to sample a gluten free fish and chips the other Blatton made for me, yum , it was delicious, a girls gotta eat!! doesn't she. I of course still aren't quite sure what the Blatton's first names are but I'm wondering if they are the same as the name tags they wear while running the fish shop... Jane, Wandanita and Pablo...I doubt it, they look very British, I think it's just a cover and whenever I call out to Wandanita she squints her eyes at me....

We should be landing in a few minutes. Oh, dear i just realized we left Bianca behind...yikes, she's so small...i must have left her at the fish shop...Let me call her...goodness!!!

Kisses, MargOH!

We're off to see the Blattons

Hey Kids,

We're leaving Barcelona today and what a ball i had. Making this film was fun and this being the first film I have lines in since 1969 is just wonderful. Gael was so sweet and we really had a grand time. i didn't get to spend too much time with him but he did have to take his shirt off while visiting me at my flat after I accidentally spilt wine on his shirt...yummy, even Bianca was hot for it, he's so sexy....Hopefully they won't cut my scenes but I gave the director and editor bottles of champagne and an autograph picture....

So on to more exciting news. The Blattons are hot on the trail of my Aunt Trudie. They know that Trudie is no longer using that name and goes by Urilla Wilson....mmmm very strange. They know that she is somewhere in the south of France. They also know that at one time she owned a bait and tackle shop and that sounds like old Trudie, keeping the family tradition of living off the fish....

I'm very excited to meet the Blattons. i do not know their first names yet but only they have a dag named Nobby that led them to the beach were Aunt Trudie's picture was taken after I supplied them with a pair of knickers of hers i kept but never washed...They said the dog almost passed out from Aunt Trudie's scent but quickly recovered and dashed for the beach. They also found a picture of a baby in that spot on the beach so they need me to verify who it may be...

I sent Berna home, she was getting on my nerves and wouldn't you know it with all the red wine and sangria i was drinking I've come down with "The Gout" again so MargOH! sucking on cherries and drinking Black Cherry juice cocktails. I've taken Bianca with me instead and I'm resting my foot on her now.

Okay kids, we're just taking off and Bianca has that "Mile High Club" look in her eye again.....but this flight is short so I better get on it...literally...I'll let you know whats going on in London...

Kisses, MargOH!

The Plane, The Plane

Hey Kids,

The film shoot is running over...I'm still in Barcelona, not that I'm complaining, it's lovely.

I have a little time to tell you about my plane ride over...I joined the mile high club....I know, I know....I'm sure you all would think I'd done that before but I actually hadn't....

Of course I was flown over first class but thankfully Berna was in coach so I had time to relax and have a few drinkies..Well i sat across from a lovely named Bianca "Ra Ra" Benitez. She is actually a Spanish wrestler but she is a little person. i guess she had been over doing a stint for the wwf or something. She is very sexy and kind of looks like Penelope Cruz but with a large head and little legs...She also had a huge rack on her...implants i suspect..

Anyway, she was hot to trot for me as soon as I sat down. She was a bit aggressive and started demanding that the steward get me a drink right away...then she leaned over and said, "I wanna get you drunk toots" and smiled... I said " I already am" and smiled.

Bianca then leaned in and said "I know who you are". I said " I doubt it" and took off my sunglasses. she replied in a sexy Spanish accent "No, I know, you're Alaina Capri". I couldn't believe it...no one had said that to me in years, I was a bit shocked, my years as a Russ Meyer girl are just distant memories and I rarely think of it.

Russ and I had made a pact after he let me go that we'd never speak again, he made up a fake story about my life and I started out fresh, with a clean slate..Alaina never to be heard of again. Alaina is just folk lore to me really. It wasn't until after his death in 2004 that I let it out of the bag again.

I responded "Well Bianca, you must like the movies to know that....it's been years since anyone recognized me as Alaina". Bianca, replied "No, I like tits and you have the best in the business" I laughed and responded " Not anymore darling, I had a reduction, that's why Russ canned me, I threw out my back, I had no choice", then she pressed her hand to my lips and with her other hand cupped my breast, and said "Sure feels good to me"....Then she yelled to the steward.."where's the ladies drink, she's a legend".

Then we took off in more than one way...she grabbed my hand and rushed me into the bathroom and proceeded to do things I'd never even imagined. I won't go into too much detail but lets just say she had the biggest tongue I'd ever seen and boy could she use it...She really made this legend quiver....yawza!

Oh, gotta run Bianca and I are going out dancing tonight, she is bringing her friend to keep Berna occupied. I may try it again, you know lady love....Bianca is so cute and I like the way she treats me..like the star that I am. I sometimes forget how a legend should be treated and rarely expect special treatment but for once I feel the time is right, the film, embracing my inner Alaina and having an adoring little person after me is just so hot....

Kisses, MargOH!

Estelle Getty- One Funny Lady

Hey Kids,

I was just surfing the net after a long day of shooting. Sitting here in my old lady make-up and Berna out partying with one of the lovely spanish maids we have....I'm having a lovely Sangria and I must raise it to Estelle Getty who just passed away.

She is one of the first ladies of American Comedy..right up there with Lucille Ball I believe. I have always preferred female comedic dames over the men...Golden Girls was a fabulous show and a show I still watch religously. I never get tired of it because of the women who made it such a great all around show but to me Sophia was the best, Estelle's comic timing was perfect and the way she embodied that character was amazing. She left us with a fabulous body of work and I will keep enjoying it!!

Estelle is also a role model for grit and determination. She never gave up on her dream of being an actress and struggled for years to make it. She was in her early
60's when she landed the role in Golden Girls and became an international celebrity....wow...

Here's to you Estelle for all the Laughs

Kisses, MargOH!

Working hard, feeling old

Hey Kids,

Well I started shooting my scenes here in Barcelona. Gael Garcia Bernal is just a dream and we've been having so much fun. The only thing is that I play the part of a old Spanish peasant woman. I was shocked by the amount of time in the make-up chair, 6 hours, Now I know what Robin Williams went through in Mrs. Doubtfire, really. I decided to keep it on until wednesday when my scenes should be completed. I'm just amazed at the amount of lines I've been given and I feel so fortunate to have met gael at the fundraiser a few years ago. He said he would get me a role and wow he really came through. Now if I could just get him to take another kind of roll with me, I'd be thrilled but in this get up, I doubt it! I wonder what Penelope Cruz would do?

Berna and I have the flat through the weekend so at least I'll have a few days to find myself a young spanish lover.... I did have a little fun on the plane on the way over but that was with a young spanish gal....You know I'm Bi but very rarely take part in love with the ladies....not that I wouldn't like it more, it's just that i'm much more picky when it comes to the ladies I do the nasty with unlike the men.....I mean really men are men but women are more of a challenge, are the boobs perky or saggy, does she bikini wax or not, does she wear rose water or white diamonds...you get my drift. Anywho I'm off to the set....I'm posting a pic of me in make-up, you won't believe the transformation...

Kisses, MargOH!

Barcelona at last

Hey Kids,

I just landed in Spain, it's so fabulous....I just love old things and Barcelona just has that feeling of old, the architecture, the warmth, the men.....young or old Spanish men just are so sexy.....I'm staying in a lovely flat overlooking a market, very busy and a wine shop, thank goodness. Berna is here with me, I got to bring along a plus one for the shoot. I wanted to bring Linda Hunt but she's tending to Candice Bergan after her third tummy tuck...poor thing, big as a house... I have a few days just to hang out before the filming so we're gonna paint the town red or at least get hammered and find myself a young spanish lover...

I'm posting a picture from my balcony...so you can see what I see. I'll be back later to tell you about the plane ride....it was very interesting....

Kisses, M

Aunt Trudie is Alive?

Hey Kids,

It has been confirmed by my mother Sully (who just arrived from Kentucky to hopefully talk my Aunt Fawn to move back to Minnesota, god I've got a lotta aunts), that the woman in the picture basking in the sun and touching up her lipstick on the french riviera is my Aunt Trudie presumed dead in 1968 by drowning in the east river...

I found this picture by accident on the photo site flickr. I was stunned when it popped up, i contacted the photo taker and she told me she took a random photo on the riviera of France, my word..... You see I've longed for my Aunt Trudie, it was her that took me in as a young girl in search of the dream to become an actress. She took me under her wing, though more as her worker bee at her pub MargOH!'s on delancy street on the lower east side of Manhattan. It was actually Aunt Trudie who came up with my stage name and the bar was also where I was discovered by Russ Meyer.

After I'd moved to LA I got a telegram 6 months later that Aunt Trudie had a night of it with the gals at the pub and went skinny dipping in the east river and never came out. It was one of the saddest moments of my life. I also found out that day that she left me the pub. I wasn't shocked but at the time I was just getting started as a Russ Meyer girl, shooting films, attending Hollywood parties. I couldn't possibly go back to NY and run a run down pub with a backroom for lesbian's. That was Aunt Trudie's love, not mine, so I sold it and went on with my life.

Looking back now I regret the decision and wish I had gone back because in just a short few months Russ would dump me after just two films and a stick me with a pain in the ass wardrobe mistress Berna Breckenridge.....

Anyway, that's not important, it's finding Aunt Trudie that is what I need to focus on and I am. I immediately called Nicky Knockers to do a little PI job for me but she was too busy doing her 5,000Th porn film called "Nicky Knocker's does Broadway". She said she was rehearsing by doing the whole cast of "Spamalot"...but Clay Aiken had been giving her the runaround.....mmmm I wonder why?

So I decided I should hire someone in Europe anyway so I did some research and found a PI that is very secret and the business runs under cover of a Fish and Chip shop on
Old Compton Street in London.....I thought it fitting that they run a Fish and Chip/PI Shop......It's called Blatton, Blatton and Blatton. I've only spoken to one of the Blatton's which shall remain nameless on the blog as to not blow the cover of the business. The Blatton, Blatton and Blatton agency has assured me that they will find my Aunt Trudie and are on there way to the French Riviera as I type.

It is very exciting, well for me, my mother Sully never liked Aunt Trudie. She said "Whatta ya want to find that old dyke for? I bet she still doesn't shave her pits." Sully is just jealous because she knows i like Aunt Trudie better than her... Well I mean neither of them are perfect but at least Aunt Trudie didn't make me swab the floors with a toothbrush like sully, she bought me a mop....

Kids I'll keep you updated on this very exciting time. I'm off to Spain to shoot a film , then I'm off to meet the Blatton's of Blatton, Blatton and Blatton to provide additional information about my beloved Aunt Trudie....

Kisses, MargOH!

Well I never

Hey Kids,

I must say i'm a bit down in the dumps after my show...just because It is so much work putting these one nighters together, bang you do it and then it's over..somewhat like sex I guess but at least you can recharge for sex quite easily..Recharging at 60 for another show is another thing...

For the first time I actually feel old. I've actually cut back on my champers and martini's..well i never thought I'd see the day but what's a gal to do...get to work...of course. Shecky, my agent lined me up 3 voiceover commercial's, local cable crap but I'll take what I can get. My Aunt Fawn is draining me dry , i think she's stealing from me for her skating lessons, I gotta get her back to the midwest and if i have to see her do her routine to "Firebird" one more time,...I'll scream. Sully said she was coming two weeks ago to fetch her but she hasn't shown up, she called from a truckstop in nashville telling em she got a short order cook's job to make some traveling cash after they kicked her off the freight train....then she said something about hanging out with Faith Hill....oh dear....

I also go to Spain for my bit part in the film with Gael Garcia Bernal. I actually have a few lines that'll probably get cut just like "Sex in the city"...arggggh do you know how many takes and times I had to say "Would you like nuts on it" as shake shack girl # 6 to Charlotte, that was an alternate take to the restaurant scene where her water breaks in front of Mr. big.....I liked my scene better, bastards....

Well I never...catch a break....

Kisses, MargOH!

One Big Jackass Dies

Hey Kids,

Though I try not to get too political on my blog but now that I've been counceling
Hillary after her defeat I must talk....

How fitting that Barack Obama comes out after he is elected that he will expand
the faith based initiatives Bush started.....is that change...I don't think so. I believe in the separation of church and state....I guess he doesn't....aaargh!

Also How fitting that one of the biggest jackasses to have ever lived kicked the same day as Bozo the clown. Jesse helms is dead!!!! I'm not usually one to say bad things about the deceased but this jackass will not be missed. I'll have to have a very long stiff dirty martini tonight as I enjoy art, music and culture, something that jackass didn't like........

Hope you have a nice ride Jesse......

I don't understand how a racist gets to be called a patriot....MargOH! just doesn't get it....

Kisses, MargOH!

MargOH! sings Sex Machine

Pics from Burlesque Show

Here are a few Pics from burlesque show!

Berna gets Angry

hey Kids,

Well my show was a smash success. I'll be posting pics and video's on youtube in the coming weeks. The band was excellent and a special thanks to the Dirty boogaloo, my daddy snuggs, Skinny Tallz and darryl!!

MargOH! really felt like a rock star in the making. I'm no longer afraid to belt it out for the masses and will continue to explore my vocal prowess... The dancers were all wonderful! Legs Malone, La john Joseph, Incedible, Edible Akynos and RunAround Sue were all fabulous. My "Gay Boy of ceremonies" MAN-ee Champagne was in rare form...LOL, too funny.

My experiment of taking lines from several different sitcoms and movies really worked well, I took quotes from such shows as Golden Girls, Sanford and Son, The Nanny, The Jeffersons, Mary Tyler moore show and the movie Steele Magnolia's. I mixed them all up with the banter between MAN-ee and I and it was so fun. We're going to the show again very soon. We had such a blast and MargOH! maniacs were very pleased!

The one sore spot in the evening however was my on again off again wardrobe mistress Berna Breckenridge turned on me after the show.....Ever since she's been the head gaffer at the Letterman show she's so touchy. She seems to forget who paid for her gastric bypass and nursed her back to health...how dare she get crazy and slap me in the face because I picked up her shorts and said "Who's are these, they're enormous". Yes, that's right kids Berna slapped me in the kisser with her big meaty hand. Luckily, I was into my 4Th bottle of champers and i didn't even feel it but of course i didn't take this lying down. We had a bit of a scuffle which ended with me trying to drown her in the bathtub. Poor Linda Hunt had to use all of her power to hoist me off of her...I hate acting inappropriate in front of an Oscar winner but how dare that Berna Hit me, after all I've done for her, really. she also has more sass lately after her engagement with her union buddy....I still think that's a farce but who knows.

Kids can you believe I had to ice my cheek the next day and was forced to have a dirty martini at 8am to ease the pain. It's bad enough getting slapped by my help but to also be forced to drink that early in the morning....is well....a treat i suppose but damn that Berna. She is officially on my shit list for sure!!!

Kids, I'll be back with photo's and video of the burlesque show!

Kisses, MargOH!

Berna's Going to the Chapel

Hey Kids,

I know I've been quiet lately but I just found out some news that was too good not to share with you.


My wardrobe mistress and Head Gaffer for the Letterman show is getting hitched. I can't believe it!! Her union buddy Bernie popped the question the other day and she's been running around the house all week, breaking things, tripping on her tea cup heels and waving the ring in my face..Well the ring is nice, those union peeps rake it in, I must say but unfortunately it was a bit small for her finger and it only fits up to her knuckle, poor dear...

She's been so annoying that my Aunt Fawn-Tastic threatened to cut her with her skating blade...yikes...Oh , yeah by the way Aunt Fawn is actually training with Frank Carol(Michelle Kwans former coach) and she actually has been back to doing her double toe wally's and is almost up to doing a triple toe loop. She swears he has a crush on her and told her she will take the over 60's at the US championships...goodness...

Back to Berna, anyway , she's been calling Betty Degeneres to see if Ellen will be her maid of honor...ahem...i doubt it and can you believe she told me that she wanted me to be the flower lady...my ass...if that cow is to get married I'm going to bartend...cause lord knows every one's going to need a stiff drink after seeing old berna in a wedding gown.....yikes..

Kids , I'll keep you updated on this event...good lord, help me know...

Kisses, M

Poem Series continue's

Hey Kids,

This is just a new poem that has no reference to anyone....I was just feeling a little bad and a little , well you know...

Kisses, M



WHORE


Who is it that says I’m a whore?
Go on let them in, it’s about to begin
Go on ahead and open the door
I’m the whore, the tale, take a swig

Who is it that says I’m a whore?
You’re sucking up; swing the door
Is it me licking up the sweat?
If I’m the whore; let’s bet

So it’s you that says I’m a whore
This is a game to have no end
I see your sweat; shut the door
My talent to you I must defend

So it’s you that says I’m a whore
There’s no fight; it may be true
I’ve played your game; close the door
If I’m the whore; so be it to you

by MC

Inbreeding is Rampant

Hey Kids,

I know, I know...I've been terrible with this blog. I think it's because I'm turning 60 and I feel there is so much to do before may. There are things I haven't tried or done yet. I've been busy trying to catch up.

Just a few things... I never actually had sex with anyone older than me so I went out on a mission to Gramercy Tavern, not some place I'd usually go , it's stuffy and smells of burnt meat and whiskey. I didn't mind the whiskey part and actually sauntered up to the bar and had a snifter of cognac...yummy. Well wouldn't you know there were only ladies who lunch at the bar, yikes...wasn't into that... I ended up settling for a waiter named Smitty who was 66...I won't go into details but the drink was stiffer than the meat.....At least now I can get back to the young ones.

Speaking of young ones, I've made a fabulous new friend from Italy and his name is Valerio. He has many of his video's on you tube.He has a great voice and what a gorgeous young man. We've hit it off and have a lovely friendship going. We've decided to do a duet of "Somethin Stupid". This will also be a first, my first recorded duet, how fun....MAN-ee and I have done some fun stage duets and I love doing them so this will be a hoot....


Now to my topic inbreeding...It is all over the news , with that polygamist sect and those crazy gals that look exactly alike and talk like zombies. Their eyes are very close together which usually means inbreeding... I of course know a little about this because my father's side of the family were a bit , well not quite right and it was found that way back in the eighteen hundreds the family members were all doing each other... I think this explains why I have to pluck my eyebrows on a daily basis...they're so thick and bushy....

The other inbreeding that goes on is in the entertainment industry and especially new york cabaret....It's not really like that type of inbreeding...but it is very similar to a cult. I mean this of course in the nicest possible way but I hate the fact that in order to be part of the mix one must get the stamp of approval by an established name....it's like whoring yourself out for a piece of the pie...truthfully I'd rather sleep my way to the top(like in Hollywood, you know like Catherine Zeta Jones) than have to suck up to people just to get attention and believe me I've never seen so much sucking up in my life....

I never realized when I was on the outside what a sham associations are and what obstacles they cause for some people. Now that I've gotten a glimpse of the inside and how things really work, I find it a bit sad and honestly all of the mystique that surrounds the entity have diminished for me...I've always been one who is accepting of all people and I treat people with talent the same as anyone else....but I find that getting the same in return isn't as easy.

Talent is not limited to what one, two or three people think because if that were so then there would never have been a Jackie Mason. I wish people would understand that Talent is not limited to a perception but is unlimited in spectrum....Oh god did that make sense or did that Cognac knock me for a loop....

I'll be back kids

Kisses, MargOH!

My Tryst with David Patterson

Hey Kids,

There has been something I've been blindly carrying around with me for the past few weeks...well maybe that's not the best word for it. Let's just say I've been burdened by the fact that I to have slept with the new governor David Patterson.

Of course I didn't know at the time that he was a public official , it was a few years ago . I had just gotten off the bus on 6Th ave and 23rd street on my way to meet my agent Shecky. This was the same day he was to give me the bad news that I lost the "smuckers" voice over commercial to that pesky Willard Scott.

Anyway, I got off the bus and was making my way down the street and this guy banged right into me and I dropped my purse, which of course was filled with Nips of vodka..as I started picking them up he grabbed one and guzzled it down so I followed suit...

Then he told me he'd never smelt a more beautiful woman...I was wearing my "white Diamonds" that day. He then gestured to the Chelsea hotel and said, wanna romp sweetie? I thought, Shecky can wait and said sure as long as he was paying. He pulled out a wad of cash and we were off. I must say he was a bit clumsy and had a bit of trouble paying for the room, I think the room was 200 but he gave the guy
500.I felt a bit pressured and thought, hell I better be good....

I was of course and so was he. He was like an animal, sniffing and probing me like a snake blinded by lust...Oh, there I go again. Honestly I didn't know he was blind, though now when I look back I should have seen the signs especially when he told me he accidentally put on his wife's panties cause the room was too dark, I was like, yeah , right.

Knowing what I know now it's all a bit funny. I do feel silly that I didn't realize he was blind but he covered it up so well and I didn't mind the whole pantie thing. He was a charmer and he did say he thought I was 25-26....I even said I thought he needed glasses and he just laughed...yikes....

Well kids, I feel much better getting that off the old chest. You know I'm going to be 60 next month. This is crazy times.....I figure I've only got 40 more years so no time for regrets....but if you listen to Barbara Walters I could possibly squeak out another 90 years.....I don't know...I couldn't imagine living that long...please I'd have to freeze Berna....

Kisses,

MargOH!

I'll be back

Hey Kids,

I know I've been slacking on me old blog. I have way too much stuff going on!! but I promise I will be back with new posts asap.....

Hey Kids,

Here is my poem for the lovely and Leggy Legs Malone

34 ½
For
Legs Malone




34 ½

Limbs cutting through sky
Dancing cutting through wind
Legs that seem to defy
Glorious perfection, don’t ask why

Floating pictures of perfection
Dancing cutting through wind
Long supple singular sensation
Legs that seem to defy

Beauty is not always easy
Dancing cutting through wind
Legs dancing c’mon tease me
Thirty Four and a Half for us to see

Glorious perfection, don’t ask why
Just gaze stretching to the sky
Amaze me; set the tone
Thirty four and a half, that’s Legs Malone

Sparkle
for Alice Skidmore

Sparkle

Fashion sense reigns supreme
Shades, green sparkle in the crowd
Glorious, guiding the way
Blonde bombshell suits the day

Old school charm and grace
Shades, green sparkle in the crowd
Deep red lips, porcelain is skin
A figure eight, no stop to begin

Fashion sense reigns supreme
Glorious, guiding the way
Young Crawford she beams
Picture perfect takes the day

Old school charm and grace
Dressing it up for the stars
Shades, green sparkle in the crowd
Dressing the world, a better place

Hey Kids,

Here is another poem for my kids


MAN-ee Champagne

It’s so fun, a gay fiancé
Fresh, bubbly, dash of style
Blurred pictures, a life so gay
A whirlwind to share for all while

It’s so fun, a gay fiancé
My MAN-ee, to love him so
Sensitive, caring, doesn’t he know
Blurred pictures, loving us every day

It’s so fun, a gay fiancé
Opening my eyes to see the world
Champagne bubbles, drink the day
Scattered, scampering like a squirrel

It’s so fun, a gay fiancé
Champagne bubbles, lights dancing
Always knowing me in every way
Blurred pictures, loving him every day

Hey kids,

Here's another poem. More to come. Sam is also known in some circles as Princess McCool......


Homespun
For
Sam Rowan


Homespun

Some may think it’s crazy
Patchwork, thread and love
Intricate, not for the lazy
Amazing, all talent above

An aptitude that’s homespun
Heart is where the home is
Sewing, healing until it’s done
A quilting class for everyone

Like Biking in the cold
Some may think it’s crazy
Like a school girl, bold
Intricate, not for the lazy

Wrap me in your quilt
Sewing, healing until it’s done
Sam’s where the heart is
Quilts, love, cookies for everyone

Poem Series

Hey Kids,

I've been inspired by people in my life so a series of poems is a must.

Here is the first

Phoebe

A light at the end of the tunnel
Most do not get to see
Some only get the vision of funnel
I’m lucky to get to see

Quirky, fun and inquisitive
Most do not get to see
Gentle, sweet, wanting to give
I’m lucky to get to see

Is there anything more fun?
Searching through a charity shop
Some only get the vision of funnel
I’m lucky to get to see

Is there a needle in the haystack?
I’m lucky to get to see
A light at the end of the tunnel
That is our girl Phoebe

MargOH!'s Cocktail Caucus

Hey Kids,

I've been so busy....drinking that I haven't put a post up in a bit, sorry dolls. We had our UK pals over for a cocktail, it was all very last minute for we just flung it together after meeting up the night before at Sean's gallery opening. Things move fast in my world kids...though the bottles seem to fly a little faster at times. I'm still a little hung today ...yawza.

Here are some pics from the little party and I do not think Hillary or Barack would approve the message....

We did have fun though!!

Kisses, M

MargOH! Invests

Hey Kids,

Well you know I'm not getting any younger, I will be turning 60 in a few months but thanks to cod liver oil, various other fish oils and champagne I look 40.

I've never been that concerned with age but I have come to realize the extra roles won't come in forever and I will need income. It's obvious I'll be here another 20 years at least so I have been looking into various investments. If you all recall I came into a little "Stumpy Jones" money after my little "almost had a daughter" saga. I tucked that away and was waiting for the right thing and kids I found it.

A Haddock farm in Jackson, New Hampshire. Thats right, MargOH! is the proud owner of "Haddie's Haddock Farm and Fishery". It was actually Stoli who contacted me about a few schemes she thought of but this one seemed to be the best. I mean it really keeps the "fish" in the family so to speak. It is also a solid investment sure to keep me in champagne and fish oil for my lifetime. I mean with the way the environment is headed they'll be no fish in the ocean so they'll have to get their haddock from my pools...

More importantly it will eventually keep Berna busy because I'll be sending her up there to check on things from time to time. It really isn't anything that I have to be invloved in. I have two men named Fergie and Fred Fishstein running the joint, they're a lovely couple who recently made a civil union in New Hampshire. I really didn't know that gays were interested or knew anything about fish but these two were both married to women in the past so it all made sense to me after meeting them. I feel my fish are in good hands with these two boys.

We had a fabulous time hanging out in New Hampshire and of course we hit the slopes and i also hit a lovely ski instructor named Roscoe, he had a liking for the older gals and jacuzzi's. I really hadn't had any in a while but I was all fish oiled up so things went very smoothly....yummy...MAN-ee kept himself busy with the other ski instructor Ashton, he was a Utah boy gone wild and poor MAN-ee was so exhausted upon our return home from all of his snowplowing or should I say Ashton's plowing...Oh it's so fun having a gay fiance...it really is...

I'll keep you posted on my fish farm....My daddy salty would be so proud!!

Kisses, M

PS. My Aunt Fawn came with me to compete in the over 70's Figure skating sectionals. This is a story in itself so I'll post about that in the next one...yikes..Let me just put it this way we spent 6 hours in the emergency room having them remove a tree branch from her ass.....

Go Vote and Judge MargOH!

Hey Kids,

MargoH! is in the hunt to be judged and voted for on Ourstage.com . My song "Fat Girl" which I loaded up yesterday has jumped from #276 to #96 in just one day, the the best thing is I haven't even asked anyone to go vote for me until now. If I win on this channel I can perform at an awards show here in NYC.

Please click on the above link and help an old gal out and rate my song "Fat Girl" against some of the best indie music out there.

How it works is you register for free, then go to channel plugawards 2008 and listen to 2 songs for 15 seconds and rate which one you like best. When my song pops up vs. another song rate it. Now you know I love this song and I know you will too!

Thanks kids!!!

MargOH!

GO Hillary GO!

Hey Kids,

Well it's true. I've decided to vote for Hillary Clinton. I of course was a Kucinich gal from the very beginning but we all know that this Democracy only allows the very, very, very, very, very , very rich to run for President. This left me with either Barack or Hillary. Now, I of course would never vote for Hillary if this was a fashion election..I mean really her suits are just so stiff and unappealing. I would vote for Barack if it were a fashion contest for sure.

I made my decision on the final debate. Hillary is a smart woman and he an intelligent man but what swayed me was not what they said but to me it was all in the body language. The final thing was when the debate was over and everyone was wrapping up and Hillary got up and took off her own microphone pack but Barack didn't attempt to remove his, instead he had a stagehand come out and remove it for him.

In my eyes there was a sence of arrogance on his part in the way he handled that situation but Hillary was just no- nonsence and took the thing off. This shows me that Hillary is a doer and Barack is more a sit back and have everyone else do it kind of guy.

I know, I know but it's hard to choose when you know politician's are never 100% truthful and will say anything to get a vote. It is these small things that make me lean towards one or the other.

I just think we need a Hillary right now because she's a tough broad that won't take crap from conservatives.

Go Hillary Go!

MargOH!'s Lovers

Hey Kids,

Many people have asked me about my trysts. I've never been one to kiss and tell but what the hell and these are just a few and yes i tend to like short men.... Now one of these people I only spooned with, no sex. Can you guess which one?

New Blog in the works

Hey Kids,

I'm constructing a new blog that I hope will become interactive and fun for all. It is a Pop Culture blog and I will be searching and spanning the globe to find all thing's celebrity to talk about. There will be fun things like "I could have done that" and the "Sleaze-O-Meter". I've also got a co-host that really doesn't say much but his name is "Duckworth" and people who choose to get involved and chat with MargoH! will become ducklings....

It's all new and in the works so stay tuned. I've put the link in my "Martini Club" section.

Check it out Kids!!

Kisses, MargOH!

It's Raining Men-Tal

Hey kids,

Whenever it seems like things are going well, lots of work lined up, writing new shows, traveling to foreign lands...I always have something screwing all the fun up and yes it is usually Berna but this time it is my Aunt Fawn. She's driving me crazy. It was bad enough my mother was here for 4 days. She drank everything in the house including all of my Ny-quil...thankfully she eats very light though the smell of canned salmon was making me gag, that's all she eats , canned salmon on crackers and sometimes with Velveeta piled on...

Anyway, Aunt Fawn has come up with the idea of making a comeback in competitive skating, she's 73 but claims she can still do her famed double toe wally. She told me that she was going to contact Carlo Fassi for coaching but I reminded her that she'll have a hard time getting in touch because he died in 1997. In a beat she said "screw him, I'll get John Nicks then". She called him but he hasn't replied yet...mmmmm.

She swears that if she trains she'll be able to do triples in no time and compete at nationals next year. In the meantime she dragged out my sewing machine, blew the dust off, asked me for 20 bucks for materials for a new skating outfit. Now there is cut up spandex and feather's everywhere and she has broken 2 lamps doing the choreography for her routine to "Fire Bird".

I gotta get her outta of my place...She also asked me for 75 bucks to get started on Jenny Craig so she can get down to training weight.....I told her to get a damn job then handed her some lemons, maple syrup and Cayenne pepper and said do the lemonade diet...it's faster..

Kids, I'm scared

Kisses, MargOH!

Off to Spain

Hey Kids,

Well not right away but I got my dates for filming one of my upcoming roles. It will be shot in Bilbao, Spain but I think I'll get a place in Barcelona and hang out for a while and hit Valencia and some other Spanish hot spots.

MAN-ee, myself and Berna will be leaving in late August and will be in Spain for a month. My role is that of an elderly factory worker that helps the lead find a clue to the mystery of the story..

I actually have dialogue and it's in Spanish....I don't speak a word of Spanish but on my Resume it says I'm fluent. Not to worry I'm having my old pal Maria Conchita Alonso come over and help me learn my lines....I'm making my special sangria just for the occasion. I also plan on making lots of it on the set as well.. to make sure everyone is drunk enough that my Spanish sounds fabulous.

I'll keep you updated and more details on the film as I get them. I will be filming another movie shot here in New York. It's with Colin Farrell, MAN-ee is begging me to bring him to the set so he can meet him, yeah, right meet him, he wants to service his ugly needs..I'm sure. I wouldn't mind getting a gander at the massive manmeat he has, that could be fun. I'll have to ask if the costumer needs any help sewing like i did on the Sex and the city set...maybe an inseam measurement for little Colin...LOL

Kisses, MargOH!

MargOH! on The Music Slut

Hey Kids,

One of my readers alerted me to the fact that the video of Nellie and myself doing "Zombie" was listed on a fun little blog called The Music Slut. I love Music and I always admire a slut so how fun is that...

Check it out and cheers to The Music Slut for posting it!!!

Kisses, MargOH!

Caught by Paparazzi

Hey Kids,

I am absolutely furious that without my knowledge a photo was snapped of me coming in through the stage door during my last show. It was sent to me by a fan who was shocked that I had no hair.

Just to clarify, I do have hair but unfortunately due to my genetic make-up(my damn mother Sully) my hair is very thin so I prefer to wear a GI Jane for my down time and wear wigs for the daily grind and performing.

I've decided to share the picture knowing it will get out eventually. I am not ashamed of my bald head, I think it's sexy...thank goodness it's in black and white.

Kisses, M

Surprise, Surprise

Hey Kids,

The year has started off very interesting not to keep writing in this damn blog. My agent shecky has landed me 6 features that all shoot in February and march and beyond. I'm very excited because one is with my pal Gael Garcia Bernal and this will be the first time ever being in a foreign film, well besides a few that I won't mention that I produced in Bangkok. Dearest Gael and I kept in touch after our chance meeting at a fundraiser, he's so sweet and he made sure to get me a small part he thought I'd be perfect for, yikes...I'm very nervous.

Anyway, the other big news is that the other night my doorbell chimed and it was my mother Sully and my Aunt(my father's sister) Fawn "Fire blade" Tastic Channing. Of course they both showed up unannounced and I hadn't seen Aunt Fawn in years and I couldn't believe how she let herself go... You see my Aunt fawn was a competitive figure skater and quite well known in her day for her lightning speed and jumping prowess.. Fawn said she had changed her skating name to Fawn Tastic because Dick Button told her she had a fawntastic double toe wally but he denies it. Those days are long over especially after her failed attempt in the 70's to compete with the Ice capades in a review called "The Ice Capettes" where she used little people who had never skated before, kind of like a circus on ice..., it was a disaster.

It took the poor thing years to get over that but then opened an Ice fishing/Figure skating camp in Beaver Brook Wisconsin for wayward and pregnant teen girls. I never really understood the concept until I realized the parents of the pregnant girls were paying extra to make sure they were being made to try and do double toe Wally's and left unpregnant....The business recently went Belly up because the ice is too thin to fish on due to Global warming and with all the evangelical Christians taking over, the damn teens are opting to have the babies. She's flat broke!

I noticed she had a ton of bags with her and Sully told me there was no room for her at "The Fishmonger's retirement home" at least for 6 months s Sully said "She's staying with you". Well as Nan on The Catherine Tate show says "What a fucking liberty". It's times like these that make me wonder why I was cursed with such a crazy family then I realize everyone has a crazy family. Amongst many of Fawn's things she had some lovely photo's of herself when she was in shape...I'll have MAN-ee snap some pictures of her soon so you can see what she looks like now...it's tragic.

I'll have to continue this post in a second part because Fawn is a handful and just started using my darling Kim Fungs water bowl as an ashtray...good lord. I better have MAN-ee order us a case of champers cause it's gonna be rough, Sully already drank my bottle of Stoli and all of my olives..

Kisses, MargOH!

Hannah Montana confronts MargOH!

Hey Kids,

You know I posted my "Most Annoying Teen and Young Adults" list of 2007 and Miley Cyrus went apeshit when she stumbled across it on the net. Well come to find out it was Vicki Lawrence who saw it and told her about it. Vicki is playing a role on the show right now.

You see Vicki and I had a bit of a run in when I was playing an extra role on "The Carol Burnett show" back in the day. She walked in on me giving an oral exercise to Lyle Wagner , I know, I know but I was trying to get a-head.... Well Vicki was also banging him at the time but I didn't know so she went and told Carol who immediatly ended my contract.

Anyway Miley was very upset at what I wrote and called my agent Shecky to get my personal line. He called me and I told him to tell her to bring it on bitch and give her my number. A couple days went by and nothing but then on the 3rd day Miley called and gave me the what for but not in a mean way, she was more like I can't deal with people who do not like me and asked how she could change my mind. I of course was ready for a battle but instead I saw an opening to create change just like all the presidential candidates. I had to think quick and of course asked if I could replace Vicki as MeMaw on the show, my second demand was that she take more voice lessons and three was to have her father never sing "Achy, breaky heart" again. She seemed stunned on the phone and was tripping over her words and started to cry. I couldn't believe it, but then i remembered she's just a teen though she has the career of an adult. I quickly yelled, stop that crying Miley and deal with it. You gotta get a thick skin in this business and not everyone is going to like you and if you can't handle it start drinking Champagne! She hung up on me!!

i didn't hear back until a week later and it was Miley's manager telling me she couldn't end Vicki's contract but they were going to offer me a recurring role next season, she enrolled in voice lessons and her father said he would only sing the dance/hip hop version of that crap song...

I thought about it for a minute and said yes.....

Listen kids, I know what you're thinking but I'm no dummy... a role on Hannah Montana...even Dolly's doing it...I can't pass that up.

So as part of my agreement I am saying in print as long as Miley lives up to her promises I am no longer annoyed by her.

Go Miley!!!!

Kisses, MargOH!

PS- I'll wait to see what the role is to see if she'll go back on the list next year. What people will do to be liked amazes me.

Let Tonya Harding Skate

Hey kids,

obviously I have hopped the fence and am still entering into the blog. It's just that things come up and I want to express my views...

Now some of you know that if I weren't acting, singing and doing my shows I'd be figure skating. It is a passion I have though I am not very good at it...I tried taking lessons from Brian Boitano but I kept grabbing his ass instead and I am dear friends to Dickie Button and Peggy Fleming...anyway there is nothing like doing a spiral or a lay back spin..especially when you've had three dirty martini's. I usually go to Molly's pub for a few and then hit central park for a twirl on the ice..my lay back is not as good but I can still do a fabulous spiral, everyone stops and stares as i glide across the ice, my only problem is I am fine getting going but many times I can't stop so there are usually a few people that I bring down with me when I try and stop but screw them they shouldn't be staring..

Usually around this time I look up my girl Tonya Harding to see what she's up too and I found this article. Poor dear is selling her soul for $5 or $10 a pop. It's a bit sad when that big toothed menace Nancy kerrigan is raking in the bucks for really being a mediocre skater. Tonya in my book was the most fabulous jumper the sport had seen. She was fantastic and probably still is..

If any of you have watched skating lately it is not very interesting...now that Sasha Cohen has moved on, it's a big bore, so I think the USFSA should lift the ban on Tonya and let her skate. If they did I am sure she would attempt a comeback and how exciting that would be..She'd probably smoke a few cigarettes and down a few beers before going on and nail it.

That's why I like her!!!

Join the movement with MargOH!


LET TONYA SKATE!!!!

Drag Queen Performance vs. "Men Acting in Dresses"

Hey Kids,

I recently was sent a press release by someone I will not name but the tone of this release is very negative to me.

It was sent by someone who wanted to make it very clear that they or their show is not a Drag act or campy even though this performer impersonates a woman and is a man.

I'm f_______ sick of people who feel they need to condemn an artform (Drag Performance) that has been around for hundreds of years and has survived because it is a bona fide and genuine craft that allows people gay and straight to express themselves.

The wiki definition of a Drag queen and Drag King is:

A Drag queen is usually a man who dresses (or "drags") in female clothes and make-up for special occasions and usually because they are performing or entertaining as a hostess, stage artist or at an event.

Drag kings are mostly female-bodied or -identified performance artists who dress in masculine drag and personify male gender stereotypes as part of their performance.

I just do not understand why it is so important for an artist who has gained some success and credibility to separate themselves from ........... What? I ask. What is there to gain by putting this in print? Can someone please tell me?

kids, I started out performing 1. because I started to drag on halloween and I loved the attention and loved testing what I could get away with...I stepped out of myself and it was fun

2. I had a huge love and admiration for the music of Judy garland, so i thought ,I do drag, i can look like her and i can't sing so I got all my gear together and damn it I did Judy and yes I Lip Synched.(another dirty word for men in dresses who perform or sing) My whole life changed for the better through my performing Judy and later Liza and it was no longer for attention but every new stage became another challenge to where I am now.

Like Hedda Lettuce sings Can't sing, can't dance but she's famous...

To where I am now, I am writing my own material, singing my own songs and reflecting every step of the way on how greatful I am to have been able to express myself through drag.

So to all of you "Men Acting in a dress" that feel the need to seperate yourselves and bring other people or an established artform down go F___
yourselves.

To all the Drag Queens I've loved , learned from or admired before and here's a short List(I'm sure I'll miss a few and in no particular order). Thank you

Dame Edna
The Cockette's
Linda Simpson
Candy kane
Lady Bunny
Charles Busch
Harvey Fierstein
Hedda Lettuce
Varla Jean Merman
Barbara Farrell ( Fabulous Drag Queen, Specialized in 80's dance music)
Laquita Peron (Did a hell of a Country girl at the hoedown)
Candy Wills Dubarry (Just plain Chic)
Misty Ross(Does the best damn Jennifer Holiday ever)
Star Marquette ( the bad girl at the ball, goth drag, fabulous)
LaDiva Jones ( High energy, great dancer and thin)
BB Hayes(best boobs in the business, gentle elegance)
Jackie Collins (Great voice, Diana Ross, Whitney)
Kitty Litter(Very funny, great comic timing)
Penny Arcade(A drag queen at heart)
la John Joseph(inspiring artist, love in his heart and it shows)


To all of you "Men Acting in Dresses" I love to tell you that whatever you are doing Lip Syncing, singing, acting, dancing, writing or whatever fame and recognition you attain and as long as you are wearing a dress you are and always will be a "Drag Queen".

I' m MargOH! Channing and Approve this message

On the Fence

Hey Kids,

Happy New year to you all!!!!

Guess what, I've only been annoyed by 1 or 2 things so it is a great start to the new year....Oh, crap I just realized it is only January 2nd, break out the bubbly...it's gonna be a rough 2008....;)

Yes, Kids I'm on the fence about continuing my blog. 2007 was a busy year and 2008 will be even busier. I am planning to take my show abroad for the first time and maybe even a few different cities in the US like Philadelphia, Chicago and San Diego. It is sure to be a fun filled year and I'm just thrilled.

I am afraid my blog will suffer and you know how I like to tell you all of my crazy stories but I'm not sure if I'll have the time to put into it.


It's been wonderful writing this blog and I have met so many wonderful and kind people that stumbled across MargOH!. It's been a thrill to know so many people would support an old gal like me and be entertained by my life.

I'm going to step away for a week or two and think about what to do. I was thinking of shutting this one down and starting a new one dedicated to my memoirs. That way MAN-ee or Berna can post that for me. Berna had an idea of starting a blog dedicated to "Fat Girls"..kind of something revolutionary but again that would take time so I'm not sure!!!

It's like I used to say on my TV show "Maybe I'll be back, and if I am one thing's for certain there will be cocktails.

I'll Keep you posted and I love ya all!!

Kisses, MargOH!
