That’s the Power of Pine-Sol, Baby!

Funny Girlz: A Smorgasborg of Women Comedians celebrated its 10th anniversary in San Francisco, Saturday (we admit the title took about ten years to roll off our tongues). Diana Amos (yes! the Pine-Sol lady!) joined Bay Area funny women for their Mother’s Day Eve show. Amos, who cut her teeth telling stories of her upbringing by lesbian moms, told the SF Bay Times that once she had her moms’s blessing she headed for the clubs and kicked off her career. We tried to youtube her and only found some weird link to a play (or sketch? or realty show?) from back in the day so we watched this about twelve times instead. Though most still know her as the Pine-Sol Lady, Amos is a formidable presence on stage (and kept our parents from buying bargain brand floor cleaner). Cheers to San Francisco for keeping the lady-shows coming! (Especially when they benefit an awesome cause like Tenderloin’s Bay Area Women’s and Children’s Center.) –JG
