You asked for it.


In which I continue answering "fan" questions.


Anonymous asks:  What are you passionate about?


I am very passionate about LGBT equality.  People ask me why this is and I always want to answer, "What are you, stupid?"  That's like asking a white person who was passionate about the civil rights movement why they were passionate about racial equality.  But really, I think people who ask me why I'm so passionate about LGBT equality and rights are just trying to find out if I'm gay.


I'm also passionate about food.  And sleeping.


eaganr@earthlink.net asks:  Dear Daisy Eagan I enjoyed your performints in Baa Baa Black Sheeps my question is where did you put the peanut buutter?


Thanks!  I'm glad you liked it!  I put the peanut butter in the cabinet next to the fridge.  No, no, the other one.  No!  The one on the left.  Yes, right there.  Right there!  Right in front of your face!  Well, that's where I put it.  If it's not there, I don't know where it is.  Check the fridge.


lizbeckham@gmail.com asks: In a back alley rumble, clearly you'd be leading your gang to victory. Who would be in your posse and what are each of their signature moves?


My posse would be as follows:  You, for your withering stares.  My dad for his fascinating stories which would distract the other gang.  Chicken for his farts that would clear out the alley right quick.  And that lady I always see on the F train who carries a sock full of locks for protection.  And a llama.


marc.cooper@usc.edu asks: When we gonna see each other?????


In March when I get back to L.A.  I've basically been trying to connect with your for the past 9 years.


Anonymous asks: Where do you keep your Tony Award? Which brand of "Tony Polish" do you recommend to maintain its winning shine? (Congrats -BTW)


Thanks.  I keep it on a shelf thingy in our dining area.  Next to a picture of my mother and my Menorah.  I have never once polished my Tony.  You should ask Audra.  I bet she knows.


gators3836@att.net says:  Hey Daisy, I heard that you are going to be doing a show in 
NYC on New Year's Eve. I would love to be there to see you and watch the big ball drop. But, I just can't make it. Good luck. and I live in Jacksonville, FL. I heard that you might be in Tampa, FL soon for a show. Do you ever go out and have coffee or a beer with your fans? I'm buying :-) and Daisy, have you seen the Broadway play 'Anthing Goes?' What about 'Wicked?' What did you think? Can you dance like the girls do in 'Anything Goes?' Your friend forever - Joe


Thanks, Joe!  I am going to be doing a show on New Year's Eve.  Here's my shameless plug:  Bamboo 52 on New Year's Eve.  Show starts at 9pm.  No cover!  Free Champagne!  Lots of Broadway singers belting out the tunes to ring in the new year!  What a deal!!!!


I will be in Tampa with Love, Loss and What I Wore.  I don't usually socialize with people I haven't met (I barely socialize with my friends).  I just don't want to be one of those people who ends up dead in a back alley.  Not that you would kill me and leave me in a back alley, I'm just saying.  But, by all means, meet me at the stage door after a show!!!  


I have not seen either of those shows.  But I can tell you confidently, I can not dance like the girls in "Anything Goes".  Learning dance combinations for me is like math.  I see it being done by someone else, I know it can happen technically, but it makes no sense to me whatsoever.  I recently played a Follies girl.  That was a riot.




And Hannukah@hannuka.com asks by way of my website:  Happy Hanukkah...why do yo hate Sarah?


For clarification purposes, I retweeted Sarah Palin's post in which she wishes all us Jews a happy Hanukkah and goes on about Israel as if she really cared about us Jews and wasn't just concerned that the Jews need to be back in Israel in order for the rapture to come or whatever it is her people believe.  So, I retweeted it and said, "No thank you.  Just go away."  To which I received the above response/question.  So here is the answer:


What is there to like?  She's a dim-witted, hateful cooze with nothing but a handful of moose turds rolling around in her head.  She knows absolutely nothing about anything, least of all about our country.  She's a useless human being.  She has almost no political experience at all.  She represents a lot of what is wrong with this country.  The only thing I'd vote for her for would be Village Idiot.  Happy Hanukkah to you too!


Thanks for the questions everyone!!

Your questions answered here!!

Some of you have taken the time to ask me questions via my fanbridge site.  Thank you for this and I'm sorry for the delay.  But here it is, 17 answers to 17 questions:

tylerbarton89@gmail.com asks: if you could have an ideal role in a play, musical, film, and you could choose every aspect of the role, what would be your composite of that person?


Good question!  And very hard to answer.  Right now I would really like to do more comedy.  I guess if I could will a script to arrive at my door with an offer attached it would be for a play with music and I would get to play a woman who is strong, smart and funny with a mezzo/belt range.  It would have some social relevance, but not be obnoxious about it.  If there could be a cute person in the show I could make out with every night, that would be a nice bonus.
If it were a TV script, I would basically want it to be Parks and Rec.  Best show on TV.


ozdustelphie@gmail.com asks:  Any word on your car? I hope you get your painting back!!!


So, for those of you who don't know, my car was stolen from directly across the street from my apartment in May.  Since I am a slob and a procrastinator, there were many things of varying value in the car.  There was an X-box that I kept meaning to bring to the Goodwill, my GPS thingy, my tailored three piece suit and a few posters and paintings with broken frames that I kept meaning to bring to the frame shop for re-framing, among which was the original water color painting of my final costume in The Secret Garden, painted and signed my Theoni V. Aldridge.  That was the thing I was most worried about (aside from the actual car, that is).  
I filed a police report, which, of course you have to do in person at the station because, having just lost your mode of transport, you should also have to worry about getting yourself all the way across town to report loss of said mode of transport.  I called the station a few times over the next couple weeks to see if my car had been located.  I did not have high hopes, but I called anyway.  Two weeks later I got a call from a police impound lot.  My car was found, completely intact.  Turns out it was 2 blocks south of my apartment, parked in a red zone.  It was being ticketed at the very moment I was reporting it stolen.  Why it took another 2 weeks to be "found" is beyond me.
The car was fine, except the shitheads who stole it jammed a screw driver into the ignition thingy and busted that, so I had to get that replaced to the tune of about $180 or something.  Between that and having to PAY TO GET MY CAR OUT OF THE IMPOUND LOT, I was out about $400 or so.  The Xbox was still in the back seat right where I left it.  So were the posters and the painting.  If fact, the only things they took were the GPS thingy which was crappy and old anyway and. . . my suit.  My guess is the guy's nephew was about to turn 15 or something and he needed a suit.  After all, I bought the damned thing at Boys Hollywood Suit Outlet.  No joke.
So, I got the car back.  But not after I decided to use the loss of it as an excuse to go to NYC for a month, which I did.  I came back to L.A. in July and promptly quit my job for two consecutive acting gigs, which led to two others.  So, really, at the end of the day, I owe the douche bag who stole my car a debt of gratitude!


gators3836@att.net asks:  Mary Ann or Ginger?  Favorite city you have ever visited?


I had to Google this.  That's how little I know about Gilligan's Island.  But, based on the pictures, I'm going to have to say Mary Ann.


My favorite city is Sienna, Italy.  I would live there in an instant.  Although I also loved the Isle of Skye, Scotland.


kurtbloom@earthlink.net asks:  Where's my toothbrush?


It's in the cup on the shelf above the sink.


steph.hayslip@gmail.com asks:  How do civil engineers deal with the problem of paving roads in freezing conditions?


They wear lots of layers.


Anonymous asks: If you could change only one thing about yourself, what would it be?


How little I have in my bank account.


afreemason@aol.com asks:  Swallow or spit? You promised to answer!


I spit because that's what the directions on the bottle say to do.


Brett@brettchapin.com asks:  What's the worst thing you've ever done?  


Wow.  Okay.  Well, I shoplifted a bunch of times from a store that had previously been very good to me.
Oh, also, I murdered someone once.


Anonymous asks: Favorite lesbian and why?


Right now my friend Jo is my favorite lesbian.  She's nice and fun and I like hanging out with her. Some of my other favorite lesbians include my friends Beth, Melanie, Tara, Heather and Crys.  Also, Lisa Kron and Alison Bechdel.


legallybrunette97@yahoo.com asks: Hey Daisy, I loved "The It Factor." I even taped some of the episodes. How was it for you? Was it a good experience overall? Anything specific about it that was good or bad for you?


Thanks!  Overall it was a good experience.  There were aspects of it that were annoying, but all in all, it was good.  I'm glad it happened when it did because reality TV wasn't really a thing yet, so it didn't have the stigma it has now.  I don't think I'd do a reality show now.  Oddly enough, people in L.A. LOVE that show.  It was always the thing casting directors would bring up from my resume.  But I don't think it did much for me career-wise, one way or the other.  I'm glad you liked it!


afreemason@aol.com asks: Have you ever had black cock? and Bra size? I'm thinking 36B


So, let's first all take this opportunity to thank afreemason@aol.com for his 3 really inspired  questions (although, I suspect he's also the one who asked me the brilliant questions regarding Lindsay Lohan).  Let's all email him about how cool he is, shall we?


So, to your first question: I don't know.  I suppose some of the chicken I have eaten has been of the cock variety, but as to their color, I don't know.  Do you recommend black cock?


And none of your business and you're wrong.






That's all I can do for today.  I have to go to work.  Stay tuned for the next installment of whatever this is!
