We did it with Miss Betty White...and now we need to do it with a woman who is one of the greatest comedic inspirations of my life -- Miss Carol Burnett! As an oddball kid growing up in Fresno, California, I never ever missed her show. Along with Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Gilda Radner, Bea Arthur, and Phyllis Diller, she was one of the performers who taught me that women could ABSOLUTELY be as funny and outrageous as men...and that by being smart and ambitious, we could create our own destinies, as well.
ALL HAIL CAROL BURNETT!

- Muffy Bolding
- Muffy Bolding is a mother/writer/actor/knitter/radical feminist/withered debutante who likes the smell of asparagus pee, and remains obsessed with the bathroom hygiene of her three children -- despite the fact that they are 23, 19, and 16. She is blissfully married to a cute Jewish boy who looks like Willie Wonka, but remains tragically in love with the dead poet, Ted Hughes. Ms. Bolding lives in Los Angeles, where she enjoys typing words, making movies, and plucking the rings from the fingers of the dead. She was the co-creator and Editor-in-Chief of the award winning satire zine, Fresno Lampoon, and in between writing screenplays, carnival barking, and savagely threatening her trio of darling larvae with a wooden spoon, she currently publishes the zine, "Withered Debutante." More of her work can also be found in the anthology, "Mamaphonic: Balancing Motherhood and Other Creative Acts", as well as in The Cortland Review and hipmama.com. She is currently writing and producing for film and television, and working on a book of essays entitled, "Inside A Chinese Dragon." She has slept around, but not nearly as much as she would have liked.
