Broad of the month- Kathy Griffin



We know, we didn't see it coming either but Kathy Griffin is our Broad of the month. We were leaning toward Bea Author but Kathy looks better in a bathing suit...

Who She Is: Kathleen "Kathy" Mary Griffin is an actress, comedian, and self proclaimed "D-list" media personality. She appeared on the 2nd worst Brooke Shields show (sorry Lipstick Jungle was no Cashmere Mafia and never should have won the war between the two), Suddenly Susan and went on to star in her very own reality show" Bravo's Life on the D-list. But if you have watched the show and seen this Grammy nominated star's sprawling mansion, you know that life on the d-list ain't so bad at all...

Why We Love Her: There always has been and always will be a special place in our heart for trash talkers like Kathy, but that is not why she is here. Over the course of the last 4 seasons of my life on the D-list, we have watched religiously as Kathy kept moving forward after botched plastic surgery, a divorce from a stealing husband, and the death of her beloved father. We saw her sell out shows despite being banned from almost all day time talk shows. And we cheered with our gay husbands when she took home an Emmy after being fired from hosting red carpets. Suck it Ryan Seacrest!

Extra Credit: Kathy gets an E for 'Effort' and a T for 'Nice Try' for her short lived rebound relationship with Apple co-founder Steve Wosniak. Unfortunately her nerd tolerance was not high enough to hang in their for the prize. But she receives a huge gold star from us for that smoking hot body at 48 years old. Lord only knows how many sit ups, hours on the treadmill, and missed desserts it took to create that figure but the fact that she did it without one Jenny Craig meal gets kudos from us!

Trivia: Kathy has admitted to "lightly dating" N'Sync member Joey Fatone. We are dying to know what light dating encompasses these days. Given a 10 year old's explanation of "second base" on Oprah a week or so ago, we are sure it must amount to a brief marriage...


Kath, you crack us up and for that we worship you. Although we don't yet carry Irish lingerie to honor your heritage, we have some fab British lingerie to support that lovely rack of yours... the next Internet billionaire brainiac you date will be very appreciative.

Yours,
Dames & Broads
