Look who's
"SuperBitch
of the Month"!

More danger!!!

K: Gotta joke for ya! What kind of bees make milk? ...Boobees!

1. Karen, what is the meaning behind the name Queen Bee and do you consider your bandmates your worker bees?

K: The name "Queen Bee" is what Mike Hard from Thrall used to call me behind my back. He's used harsher language to glorify me on Thrall's guestbook!...Anonomysly, of course! The name sticks to me like dried cum! I've written the songs and have taught them to many. I've single-handedly worn the "Queen Bee" crown for years, desgracing the covers of Metro Times, City Detroit, Jam Rag as well as other publications! Anyone that plays in THIS band is my "Drone" and won't forget it! With or without a band, I am Queen Bee!

2. You seem to have a sort of " Spinal Tap " - type problems with drummers in Queen Bee....any truth to the rumor that you might tap Tommy Lee of Motley Crue to take the beater slot, or does his humoungous shlong scare you?

K: If I was intimidated by drummers with humoungous schlongs, I wouldn't have married one! My hubby, Dee Sparkles from the Dragstrippers, and I jammed together in a great band called Pussyfoot! We now prefer to keep our music separate, so that we can admire one another from a safe distance! Tommy Lee will hafta keep wanting!...Besides, who needs a schlong when you've got "The Finger"?...Jason "The Finger" Pearce, that is!

3. For all of our female readers out there, describe the top three things grrrls should beware of when considering a career in music:

K: Stay clear and focused. Don't listen to discouragement, but stay open to constructive criticism. If some one offers to manage you for a mere 95%, ask him to please go get fucked!!! I've grown sick of it myself! I've gotten fucked so many times, I went on birth control!...Cuz when I'm gettin' fucked, I wanna feel it!!!

4. Queen Bee seems to be a big draw here in Detroit...do you honestly think it has anything to do with the fact that you tend to show alot of cleavage while rawking the crowd with your killer Bass playing?

K: I hope so! I'd like to think that my tits speak for themselves! No one cares about talent anymore, but I think that my talent also enhances the appearance of my breasts! I'm passionate about playing music and I think that it also adds sex-rawk appeal! My bootie stuck outta my skirt at the last Magic Stick show! I heard that someone was snapping pix of my rosey cheeks! Good thing I had a thong on!...I showed more ass that night than I did at the Halloween Burlesque show with Spag!...Oh yeah, humping my bass is fun too! I'll throw up before I grow up!!!

5. Circumcised or Non-circumcised? you decide for our readers!

K: Well, that depends on what your lookin' for!... Pig in a blanket? or smooth sausage?...Mmm, just thinkin' 'bout it makes me hungry! Yummy, yummy. yummy, I got... Oh, forget it!!! My carnal instincts make it "hard" to be a strict vegetarian!

6. Karen, you seem to be a head-strong, focused individual devoted to your music and creativity....are you really, in fact, an over-bearing, loudmouth psycho hose-beast?.....or a smart, sexy, forward thinking woman of the new millenium?

K: I'm the worst of both worlds!!! Sweet as honey, sting like a bee!...Find out when you fuck with me! I alone rule the throne! No "Wanna-Bees" in my colony! I wear the crown and the stinger, I'm the player and the singer! I could go on...or off...but I wont!

7. Your ex-bandmate Lynda Mandolyn from your previous band Inside-Out is now in the San Francisco punk band Fabulous Disaster...when will the time be ripe for a double tag-team Fabulous Disaster / Queen Bee TOUR??

K: That would be fucking AWESOME!!! I love Lynda! She is the best friend I'll ever have!!! We almost got together as "Lickitty Clit" to open for Kid Rock at the State Theatre, but someone else had more dicks to pull than we had at the time! Fuckers!!! Tell the world that Lynda is coming back on March 22nd, 2002 at Clutch Cargos! Her band, Fabulous Disaster fucking Rawks! We took a shit in Sherwood Forest together! How many friends can say that they've shared that experience? Bee-hee-hee Haw-haw!

8. So, how does it feel to be the Sexiest Queen of Detroit Rawk!

K: Oh, it feels pretty normal. I was born to "Rawk" you know! I just love signing autographs with my red lipstick! One guy had me sign his entire arm with a big fat permanent marker! Boys love me!...Men love me!...Hell, even women love me!!! 'Cuz I'm a winner, Baby! And everyone wants a piece of Royalty! I was thinking of saving my honey in a jar and selling it as "Royal Jelly"-Spread it thick and quick! Complete with an anatomically correct dispenser!

9. Karen, years ago you performed backing vocals for the Jello Biafra / Ministry offshoot band LARD on their 2nd CD....during the recording sessions, did Al Jourgensen ever try to coax you into injecting Heroin?

K: Nope, Al was funny as Hell and an all around nice guy! Jello pushed me to the front of the mic when we recorded the backups! It was a blast! Certain marital obligations prohibited vocal opportunities on the third release! Jello and I had a blast and unfortunately missed Al's barbecue!!! I later found out that one of the songs I sang back-ups on wound up on the "Natural Born Killers" soundtrack! How cool is that?

10. Explain the goals and aspirations of Queen Bee and your quest for world domination for our readers:

K: Record, record, record!!! In 2002, I'm recording a full length cd with Warren Defever!!! I can't wait to co-produce with him again! I love that shit! We rawk at workin' those knobs together!!! I also do-a-little dance with esQuire at most of his shows!!! He's up-cummin' and hot! My bones are feelin' like Detroit! Dey crack!

PS- "Spinal Tap" wasn't as funny as "Bad News"!!! Like I've always said: ..."Rawk Out with your Cock Out!"
