KEVIN AVIANCE, Entertainer
(Recorded 2001)

(From Kevin Aviance web site)
The entire Queenmother.tv and Mothernyc.com community was saddened and outraged by the vicious attack on the beloved star KEVIN AVIANCE on June 11, 2006. Kevin Aviance does not fit into one category of entertainment. He is at once an entertaining performer, a recording artist whose songs top the charts and vibrate through the club world, an innovator of fashion and style, a model and muse of top designers, a talented and studied dancer, or, as he likes to call himself, an "Entity." Whatever one decides to label him, one fact is clear: everything he touches seems to turn to gold, and fans cannot get enough of this energy.
Kevin Aviance's music is a mixture of underground funk and bustling house rhythms, performed with such energy, fervor, and wittiness that everyone is out of their seats, letting loose, and dancing when he hits the stage. Aviance's debut album, "Box of Chocolates,' (produced by Wave Music) includes "Cunty," a club cult hit, "Din Da Da," which reached number one on the Billboard charts, and "Rhythm is my Bitch," which rose to number two on the Billboard charts.
Aviance's style is unrivaled - he has the glam and funk appeal of Missy Elliot, the unique and unabashed gender-bending style of Marilyn Manson, and the avant-garde fashion sense of David Bowie in the 70's. Aviance has performed with a list of luminaries any up-and-coming artist would dream of, including Madonna, Whitney Houston, Cher, Lil' Kim, Mary J. Blige, Natalie Cole, Cindy Lauper, and Bette Midler.

MARGARET CHO, Comedian

Margaret Cho was born Dec. 5, 1968 and raised in San Francisco. "It was different than any other place on Earth," she says. "I grew up and went to grammar school on Haight Street during the '70s. There were old hippies, ex-druggies, burnouts from the '60s, drag queens, and Chinese people. To say it was a melting pot - that's the least of it. It was a really confusing, enlightening, wonderful time." Margaret Cho's success as one of the country's premier comedians has been groundbreaking. And it's as much for her distinctive humor as for her enormous contributions as a social equalizer.

Robin interviewed Margaret in 2001, shortly after 9/11.
