Yes, Chelsea Clinton made it to Portland's 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.
Between giving speeches for her mother in Oregon, Clinton “moved heaven and earth,” to make her brief appearance at the Portland party. She trimmed appearances in Eugene and at Portland State University, to make the event, according to Willamette Week's Byron Beck.
Wearing a red SPI(RE) blouse, she quickly became the party’s focus, according to Beck, drawing the attention of even the event’s top-billed musical act, rockers Storm Large and Her Balls. Large, a diehard Obama supporter, dedicated one of her more famous songs, “Ladylike,” to Hillary Clinton.
And, although the young Clinton has generally refuses to talk to reporters, she made an exception for Beck, maybe because he was wearing a second-hand Mary Kae Cosmetics Collection [who knew?] dress. But it's not a conversation that's likely to make headlines:
"And then we had a conversation. It was quick," Beck reports. "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."
