Random thoughts of a late-twenty-something, sobered up, non-profit queen written to you directly on a near-daily basis… (and yes, bitches, I wrote “tails” and not “tales”)
And if so, how do I keep from being typcasted as the "Mexican Margaret Cho" ???

Question B: Embrace it! I think being typecast as Mexican Margaret Cho could be just the thing to launch your career! And not an unflattering comparison, certainly. They taught us this in film school -Hollywood loves a high concept pitch (25-word or less): “It’s like Top Gun, but with racecars!” -”Someone like Cher from ‘Clueless’ goes to law chool” - “Margaret Cho, but she’s Mexican!” It’s brilliant! Unless, of course, you don’t want to come back to hollywood. Oh dear.
Yes, I hear the benefits are good and you get to keep the cigarette butts after the show. You’ll get to travel around to clubs named imaginatively like “Ha Ha’s” and “Chortles!” in a van very much like Scooby Do’s Mystery Machine.
Next time I see Margaret Cho in Portland, I’ll have to call her “the Asian Debbie!” constantly, just to annoy her…
“Asian Debbie! Asian Debbie! You so funny like real Debbie! Can I have your autograph? Can you sign it ‘the Asian Debbie’ with a smilie face? While you’re here, can you help me jump my car?”
At this point, I’d probably be slugged with a close fist and kissing pavement, picking up teeth like chicklets, but it’s worth it for you.
