MODWOMEN'S
RAUNCHY GIRL MARGARET CHO
MODW Favorite moment in the
last year?
MARGARET Making a homemade trap to capture fruit flies. The one I made
with plastic wrap and half a glass of red wine worked better than the
exterminator visit. I know it's a small victory, but for some reason
this felt really good to me.
MODW How have some of the difficult events in your life turned you into
the woman you are today?
MARGARET It would probably be surviving and thriving in standup comedy,
which is such a boys club and there's so few women around to work with
and be friends with, so it can be very lonely, but that has made me
self sufficient also, so that is good too.
MODW What makes you laugh?
MARGARET Really strange things, clever things, dark things - it's always
surprising what makes comics laugh. It's never the obvious.
MODW My happy place is...
MARGARET On the motorcycle
MODW Describe the perfect day.
MARGARET Pilates, my dogs, pizza and maybe a movie!
MODW Last travel destination for relaxation?
MARGARET Rome for pasta and lots of walking around all the Bernini sculptures.
MODW 5-star hotels or hideaways?
MARGARET I love both, and
I stay in both!
MODW Tell us about your new
DVD "Cho Dependent."
MARGARET It's my new show
with songs and all new material - funny, fun, wild - I am really proud
of it. I filmed in Atlanta, which is my 2nd hometown and it was amazing
to perform it there and shoot this show there. I love it.
MODW An inspirational female?
MARGARET Kim Saigh - great
artist, great tattooer, yoga master and boot aficionado. She is rad!
MODW Cook or take out? Favourite
Food?
MARGARET Oh I love take out
eaten in front of the T.V! Nothing better. I would say my favorite is
spaghetti and meatballs!! it's a basic simple joy.
MODW Vintage or Labels?
MARGARET I think vintage labels are the best, but usually vintage is
enough. labels don't matter much. it's more about how well the garment
is made, which the labels often imply. That is why they are labels!
MODW What's in store for Season 4 of "Drop Dead Diva" and
when will it premiere?
MARGARET We usually premiere in June, but I don't know what will happen
this Season. We don't know until we actually shoot the episodes! I am
going back to shoot the show in February. Can't wait! I love the show.
MODW A book that changed your view?
MARGARET Cunt by Inge Muscio - essential feminist writing- she's incredible.
MODW Something that someone does not know about me is...
MARGARET I am addicted to very dark chocolate. must be over 72% cocoa
- at least!
MODW What does 2012 hold in store for you?
MARGARET I will go back to shooting drop dead diva, and then do some
touring all over for the remainder of the year, writing new material,
blogging every day at margaretcho.com - many things!!!
