It is the height of irony that women are valued for our looks, encouraged to make ourselves beautiful and ornamental… and are then derided as shallow and vain for doing so. And it’s a subtle but definite form of sexism to take one of the few forms of expression where women have more freedom, and treat it as a form of expression that’s inherently superficial and trivial. Like it or not, fashion and style are primarily a women’s art form. And I think it gets treated as trivial because women get treated as trivial.

Sarah Silverman’s ‘Perfect Night’: Will.I.Am Produces Anthem About Staying In

Setting the bar high as fuck in brains, beauty, awesomeness, and, most importantly, hilarity for us female comedians (or ‘comedian’s as I like to call us). It’s aight, though, I love a good challenge. And I love, love, love Sarah Silverman. This totally sounds like a perfect night.

NYC FRIENDS! VOLUNTEER FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY TODAY (literally today)!

Hi friends!

As you may know, Illinois is the next state ready to vote on Marriage Equality and we want to continue with the amazing progress we’ve been making as a country. I have been volunteering for Marriage Equality for the past year (and even walked with them in the Gay Pride Parade) and it has been a very rewarding experience to see how our hard work has paid off!

The last phone banks of the year are happening tonight (Monday 5/20) and Thursday (5/23) at their phone bank conveniently located right near Port Authority. Obviously no pay, but it’s super easy (you get a script and make some calls to people in Illinois) and you get FREE PIZZA! Plus, all the volunteers are super nice and you can donate as much or as little time as you have. Even an hour makes a difference!

Check out the official statement and links from Marriage Equality below:

Although we may be celebrating our third marriage equality victory with Minnesota’s win this week, we can’t stop now! Join the Marriage Equality USA’s National Equality Action Team (NEAT) for a final push for marriage equality in Illinois! Sign up for May 20 and 23rd at 7pm ET to call from home or the New York City Call Center (330 W. 42 Street, 7 Floor) at www.tinyurl.com/NEATvolunteer   

To spread the word among your friends, also RSVP as “join” or “maybe” to this Facebook event for May 20th at 7pm ET: https://www.facebook.com/events/183617508459451/

Thanks and spread the word!!

I am hardly a bon-bon-eating-day-time-TV-watcher, but when I tell you you need to watch this clip of Judge Judy, I mean business.
