MODW Favorite moment in the last year?
MARGARET Making a homemade trap to capture fruit flies. The one I made with plastic wrap and half a glass of red wine worked better than the exterminator visit. I know it's a small victory, but for some reason this felt really good to me.
MODW How have some of the difficult events in your life turned you into the woman you are today?
MARGARET It would probably be surviving and thriving in standup comedy, which is such a boys club and there's so few women around to work with and be friends with, so it can be very lonely, but that has made me self sufficient also, so that is good too.
MODW What makes you laugh?
MARGARET Really strange things, clever things, dark things - it's always surprising what makes comics laugh. It's never the obvious.

MODW Cook or take out? Favourite Food?
MARGARET Oh I love take out eaten in front of the T.V! Nothing better. I would say my favorite is spaghetti and meatballs!! it's a basic simple joy.
MARGARET I think vintage labels are the best, but usually vintage is enough. labels don't matter much. it's more about how well the garment is made, which the labels often imply. That is why they are labels!
