I was supposed to ask her questions like "where are you most likely to disagree with your mom or your dad?" or "did you ever call your mom at 3 am and how did she react?"
But all I could think of was that: "I am...standing in front of Hill and Bill's kid...in a red Mary Kay Cosmetics Collection dress...I'd just bought that day at the Goodwill...how weird is that?"
Yes, Chelsea Clinton made it to the infamous "Red Dress" Party.
Not to be confused with that other annual "Red Dress" fundraiser, this is the "Red Dress Party," a mondo-alcohol-fueled dance party where nearly 2,000 gay men in various states of red dress undress (and several nearly naked straight men as well as one very colorfully decorated naked woman) invade a warehouse in Northeast Portland and dance their collective asses off to pounding disco music and the incredible Storm Large and her Balls (they were beyond fabulous). Large, a bigtime Obama supporter even dedicated one of her more infamous songs, Ladylike, to Chelsea's mama.
According to my sources Ms. Clinton moved heaven and earth (well, she just trimmed some of her other meetings in Oregon Saturday that included stops in Eugene and Portland State University) so that she could make the par-ty.
At 9:30 pm, just as we were walking in, I noticed one of the Governor's more attractive staffers (Hans Bernard) heading toward the door with a very attractive blonde.
"Oh my god, it's Chelsea," I screamed.
Before I knew it Hans had my partner, Juan Martinez, and me next to her for a quick photo.
And then we had a conversation. It was quick. I don't recall much of it. And I hadn't even had a drink yet.
Suffice to say I think I said something about how much crap I've received for writing something about how her mom should be the next President.
She was very sweet and talked about how much she liked Oregon and how it had been a really long day.
After pleasantries I suggested that we join her at whatever her next party was.
She said, "oh, I'm sorry, I have to run. I'm on a red-eye to Philadelphia."
And then, poof, like Cinderella she was gone.
I heard one of the reasons she left early was she really wanted to ride the MAX train. She had heard so much about our mass transit system and she wanted to check it out for herself. I can't imagine that is what the way she got back to the airport for her flight out of town, but that's what my sources say.
Oh, that Chelsea.
Byron Beck, Chelsea Clinton and Juan Martinez at Red Dress Party, Portland Oregon.
BTW, anyone who says Chelsea is an attractive blonde is either lying or has unbelievably bad taste.
My partner, Juan, and I are the lead plaintiffs among other same-sex couples in Martinez v. Kulongoski. That’s the legal challenge against the constitutional amendment Oregon voters passed last year stating, “Only marriage between one man and one woman is valid or legally recognized as marriage” in the state.
Byron writes, “I know the editorial board is pushing for civil unions, but Juan and I want to get married. No one should deny us our constitutional right.”
charm and good looks??? 8^)
Money trumps Ugly and man, she is ugly. That guy’s hands might be a tad low eh?
If she is anything like her old man, she is about to stain the guy’s shirt!!
I must shower now, after reading this . . .
Not to mention the Monster in law potential.
The Girls All Get Prettier at Closing Time.
Stand by Our Woman
Is Hillary Clinton still worth our gay vote?
BY BYRON BECK
In the more historical picture, I found it even weirder because it’s a fairly common, if not thoroughly poll-tested, notion that the gays love Hillary Clinton. Maybe it has something to do with her husband, Bill, and his charismatic style of leadership. Maybe it’s a sympathetic synapse that triggers because of her hubby and his charismatic wanderings. Whatever it is, like Latinos, the working class and educated white women, Hillary could always count on our support. Until now.

Portland is a freak magnet. The city does have beauty to go with the spotty weather but I hope never to go there again
If you look carefully, the RB enjoys a bit more muscle tension than the LB. One might say the left wing is her let down.
The bizarre homosexual community is an important Democrat constituency.
And the scariest part is that at least 1,900 of them were still better-looking than Chelsea.
No kidding but I saw a bumper sticker here in Colorado recently that said “Keep Portland Wierd”. Now I know why the Woodstock looking guy had it on his old Volvo.
Damn! I can’t stop laughin’!
Which one is Chelsea? They all look alike.
Is it true that they theme-song of this dance was “Bend Over Darling” by the Butt Boys?
I can’t believe I “waded” through this thread after your ping! YUUUUUUK!
Sorry about the last ping. I was in a hurry, and didn't have time to read the entire article.
Maybe this ping will make it up to you. lol
