Shirley Q. Liquor is not loved by all, neither does (s)he want to. The comdian avoids Manhattan over oversensitivity, like he was responsible for race riots or something... but he has made appearances up this way. He was in Pittsburgh back in February.

He's a big hit in the gay subculture and with the general population down in those "uneducated" states and makes regular radio appearances at stations around Tennessee (where he currently lives). I've met him several times and thought the dude was funny as hell. And I've had him leave voicemails for people.

I had him call a friend of mine after he redid his apartment in Manhattan to congratulate him on dealing with the contractors himself (instead of hiring an interior designer). "HUNNE I just think it be fabulous dat you ju-redid yo house. Least me an Watusi now can cumovah theah now that you don't got no lice all over the TV screen be all lices jumpin all over it 'n everything. Shoooz, lice all over from the cieling---all dey whey to tha flo honey. TELL YO MOMMA I AXE HER HOW SHE DURRIN!"

He picked up the character growing up in Houston and going to school at LSU one state over, and is an amalgam of various black females from the Deep South he's befriended in his youth, where talking slow and emphasising words and mispronounciations are common (to everybody).

I think he's a breath of fresh air in this oversensitive world. RuPaul seems to think so, and RuPaul knows what real discrimination is like if you think about it long enough (black + gay + drag... that's gotta be a downer).

In September, PETA made headlines in Vermont and across the nation for asking Ben & Jerry's ice cream to use human breast milk in their ice cream, instead of cow milk
