C-Vink rocks the house

At the Chicks & Giggles taping show this past Tuesday, the house was not only stuffed full like a twelve year old's bra, the show was also consistently fast-paced and laugh-a-minute. I got a chance to see sets by Claudia Cogan, Margot Leitman, Sara Schaefer, Jess Wood, and Bex Schwartz for the first time. (Bex did the filthiest set I have ever seen at a Chicks & Giggles, but she wins the award for Comic Who Knows the Most About Maintaining Your Gynecological Health. She should start a Q&A column on her website. No, really).

Regular Chicks emcee Carolyn Castiglia has always been boisterously hilarious (she was doing high kicks and deep-squats in her act while nine months pregnant!), but I think she's pushed it to a new level ... a new level of white-girl rapping. An excerpt from Carolyn's new a capella rap experience:

I rock the mom jeans
I rock them long and lean
I rock them real hard in the size 16
But I wear the long shirt from the front to the back
Cuz I know like Whitney told me that showin' crack is wack!

When I asked Carolyn to send me the lines to her rap, she replied with a little rap just for me....

Here's a little story 'bout Jen Dziura
She's the kinda girl you might have heard of
She tells those jokes and she makes 'em laugh
'Bout brows and roaches and takin' a bath
With Dove's campaign for the real beauty
She's awful smart but she is not snooty
She knows Billyburg like the back of her hand
The hipster kids think she is grand
Cuz she can spell and she can write
Her skin's like asprin it's so white.

(She's not insulting me; the aspirin thing is from my act). Here's a pic of me from the show:


Despite having a three-month-old baby and living in East Harlem, C-Vink (that's her married name, 'cause C-Castiglia is a really ridiculous nickname and C-Cast sounds a little too medical) has made it down to my show in Williamsburg three times already, so I've no doubt you'll be able to see more of this. Bitch can beatbox!

Some little girl is going to grow up to be either really proud of mommy, or else she'll rebel by listening exclusively to Charlotte Church and spending her money on Little House on the Prarie novels.
