San Francisco Sentinel January 5, 1990 Bay City Beat ‘She Who Would Be Empress’ By Doris Fish Of all the many ridiculous ways to waste time, running for Empress ranks up there with housework. Although I’m no expert on housework, I’m pretty proficient at ridiculous time-wasting projects so I guess I should know. Why anyone…
San Francisco Sentinel Theatre January 11, 1990 Men, Lesbians and Transsexuals By Doris Fish, Sentinel Arts Writer Joke about AIDS will never be a real trend, but I hope the nineties will bring some humor to our dastardly situation. We loved and laughed at “Terms of Endearment” and “Steel Magnolias” (even at the…
San Francisco Sentinel October 26, 1989 City Beat Putting on the Frock By Doris Fish Everyone was shopping last week. They were three-deep at Cliff’s candle counter; the bottled water was all gone at Cala and the flashlights and batteries were the hot items at Pay N’ Pak. I wish I could say…

And this Thursday its “The Doghouse” on channel 25 at 9pm. We’re the guest “dogs” on the show! How curious that I should be so thrilled to be on television again,…
San Francisco Sentinel Classics November 23, 1989 So Much to Be Thankful For By Doris Fish Didn’t people always say, “You have so much to be thankful for!”, when you complained about how scarce your life, or more importantly, your lifestyle was? It always seemed so silly to be grateful just to be…
San Francisco Sentinel November 30, 1989 Fake Fur Rules! Ok? By Doris Fish Having dated quite a few dogs in my time (not currently darling), it’s only natural that I would feel empathy for animal rights activists. I cheered when I saw them on the news the day after Thanksgiving giving those shoppers…
San Francisco Sentinel December 7, 1989 Not Another Martini, Darling! Eight is My Limit By Doris Fish December is barely here, and my mailbox is bursting with smart soirée invitations.
