I was supposed to ask her questions like “where are you most likely to disagree with your mom or your dad?” or “did you ever call your mom at 3 am and how did she react?”
But all I could think of was that: “I am…standing in front of Hill and Bill’s kid…in a red Mary Kay Cosmetics Collection dress…I’d just bought that day at the Goodwill…how weird is that?”
Yes, Chelsea Clinton made it to the infamous “Red Dress” Party.
Not to be confused with that other annual “Red Dress” fundraiser, this is the “Red Dress Party,” a mondo-alcohol-fueled dance party where nearly 2,000 gay men in various states of red dress undress (and several nearly naked straight men as well as one very colorfully decorated naked woman) invade a warehouse in Northeast Portland and dance their collective asses off to pounding disco music and the incredible Storm Large and her Balls (they were beyond fabulous). Large, a bigtime Obama supporter even dedicated one of her more infamous songs, Ladylike, to Chelsea’s mama.
According to my sources Ms. Clinton moved heaven and earth (well, she just trimmed some of her other meetings in Oregon Saturday that included stops in Eugene and Portland State University) so that she could make the par-ty.
At 9:30 pm, just as we were walking in, I noticed one of the Governor’s more attractive staffers (Hans Bernard) heading toward the door with a very attractive blonde.
“Oh my god, it’s Chelsea,” I screamed.
Before I knew it Hans had my partner, Juan Martinez, and me next to her for a quick photo.
And then we had a conversation. It was quick. I don’t recall much of it. And I hadn’t even had a drink yet.
Suffice to say I think I said something about how much crap I’ve received for writing something about how her mom should be the next President.
She was very sweet and talked about how much she liked Oregon and how it had been a really long day.
After pleasantries I suggested that we join her at whatever her next party was.
She said, “oh, I’m sorry, I have to run. I’m on a red-eye to Philadelphia.”
And then, poof, like Cinderella she was gone.
I heard one of the reasons she left early was she really wanted to ride the MAX train. She had heard so much about our mass transit system and she wanted to check it out for herself. I can’t imagine that is what the way she got back to the airport for her flight out of town, but that’s what my sources say.
Oh, that Chelsea.

How cool is that? I’m glad you had a moment to meet Chelsea and your Goodwill dress looks lovely.
How ’bout an Obama/Chelsea ticket?
BLASPHEMY!!!
Sweet, sweet, ironic blasphemy!
I’m jealous, I want to hang out w/Chelsea and 2,000 gay men.
She seems very cool.
You silly gay goose. There may have been 2000 people there, but half of them were WOMEN, Byron.
Was this a Hash House Harrier Red Dress Run?"
What a sad commentary on our country.
Chelsea gets pimped out everywhere. Doesn’t make her any more cool, doesn’t make her mom any less a NeoCon, doesn’t make any of the empty Clinton promises any more believable.
She get’s "Pimped out?" Gee, you sound an awful lot like David Shuster. What a jack-assy thing to say. You do realize she’s a grown woman?
Ridiculous.
I wonder why Emmanuel Winner allows himself to get pimped out by WW. It doesn’t make him any more cool, doesn’t make his mom any less a fornicator, etc.
I had the wonderful opportunity to meet the amazing Chelsea Clinton, and I must say It was an honor and a privilege to meet the Daughter for the presidential candidate I happen to be a delegate for in Seattle. I do however need to clarify one thing, the party was not only Gay men, as the headline says, it is a perfect blend of gay, straight, Trans gender, bi-sexual, and everyone in between. If you have not been to the Red Dress you should go, it is a great way to raise money for their charities and its a whole lot of fun!
I do not know much about photography,but why are everyone’s eyes have Red Dot except Chelsea?
Probably because she is wearing tinted contacts
I took my boy to the Red Dress Party last Saturday night. We had a very good time, and enjoyed hanging out with friends, seeing the Sisters, and the live performance by Storm and the Balls was the true highlight.
However, what we did not appreciate were the more than should have been very drunken revelers at the party. We were accosted by people several times, and Ms. Oregon State Leather’s boy was even kicked in the stomach.
I host and throw numerous fundraisers monthly around town with alcohol, and I have thrown people out of clubs for less. Next time, I would love to see more security and more diligence by the staff to cut people off earlier. Have your fun, enjoy yourself, just don’t wreck anyone else’s good time.

Dump Obama and Hillary, How about Chelsea for President? THe White House may never be the same.
Better yet, Obama should take Chelsea as VP and dump the mom. However, you realize that the apple did not fall far from the tree. Chelsea can be just a slick as her parents.
she’s the same as her mother. i’m going to be sick. knowing not getting the votes from smart people, lets got to the gay community. we are doooooomed!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just like her mom, with the tinted contacts.

Yep, the Oregonian had a duo of photographers out riding the MAX to get her photo. If the first one got tossed off the MAX, the other photog boarded at a later stop.
Here we are, taxpayers footing the bill to bailout (can you say "corporate welfare?") failed banks due to hedgefund shennagins, while the hedgefund managers walk away with BILLIONS in personal incomes.
How does this relate to Ms. Clinton? Last I heard, she was working for a hedge fund.
Take a "good" look at who you associate with, then look at yourself. I love this election year.

I’d like her better if she had a third leg
Wow, that’s smart: you get a bunch of homosexuals to perform a lot of, well, deviant sexual acts –you know, the same that cause AIDS!– to fund-raise against the spreading of… AIDS. Are these guys completely insane of just plain imbecile?
Hey, Milla: I don’t know if you’ve never taken a High School health class or what, but "deviant sexual acts" don’t "cause" AIDS. HIV causes AIDS, and it’s spread by unsafe sex, deviant or otherwise. As long as everyone plays it safe, boinking for a cure is A-OK.
