Female Half quoted in Inky on Handler

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on March 2nd, 2009

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s David Hiltbrand wrote a piece on “hot blonde with a filthy mouth,” Chelsea Handler– she’s coming to the Tower Saturday. The article appeared in yesterday’s Inky and contained quotes from Traci Skene:

Her cheeky candor is one of the things that makes her unique: She’s a hot blonde with a filthy mouth.

“Chelsea Handler is rare in that she’s an attractive woman who is able to speak frankly about her sexual exploits,” e-mails Traci Skene, editor of the stand-up comedy Web site SHECKYmagazine, based in Merchantville.

“In the past, her particular [brand of] bawdy humor would have only been accepted coming out of the mouth of a seemingly much older woman– Mae West for example. …Chelsea manages to make it funny, believable, and acceptable.”
