Death of a True Badass Chick

Today we lost a true BadAss Chick when Phyllis Diller passed away at age 95.  Diller was one of the pioneers is female stand-up comedy, known for her self depricating humor, wild on stage costumes, crazy laugh, and rapid fire punch lines.  Diller began in television in the early 50's and went on to do variety shows, films, and USO tours.  Back when women were supposed to be playing the demure, put-together housewife role, Diller was anything but.  With her wild wigs, short eccentric dresses, and her wild cackle she made a name for herself in stand up comedy by laughing at herself with the audience.  We'll miss you Phyllis.
