hookers, ladies and 3rd wavers of comedy. read this.

i've already cornered a couple of you guys about this month's BUST magazine interview with Amy Poehler and my feelings on it being required reading for any person down with comedy, especially of the lady persuasion. for those i haven't yet put the lean on, i figured i post up here.

i dont want to pooch it, but its hilarious and spot on. unfortunately, its not available online, but - in talking about it with nadine last night - found out that salon.com was equally taken with it and recently had a write up on it.

i've pasted their op-ed below, and would be willing to lend my copy of this month's BUST to anyone who is interested in reading it, if the write up piques your interest.

It’s one of life’s small sadnesses that Bust magazine has a relatively limited online presence. Today it’s especially sad, because it means we can’t send you directly to read the interview it has published this month with two of my very favorite writers/performers/funny people, Amy Poehler and Jill Soloway.

You probably already know Poehler as a “Saturday Night Liveâ€

I'd never heard of the male gaze, so the references in the article confused me.
