I'm a comedian, a writer, and an editor -- the order in which I list these occupations varies day to day, depending on which occupation brings in the most filthy lucre. My debut memoir, "Agorafabulous!: Dispatches From My Bedroom," is out 2/14/12 and you can order it here. I host a kickass podcast called Sex and Other Human Activities over on Cave Comedy Radio (it's also on your iTunes.)

Beauty Products That I Hoard: Bobby pins. I've got a bunch of curly red hair that needs taming at all times.
