Margaret Cho has accepted a seat on the Board of Directors of Good Vibrations, a prominent retailer and distributor of sex toys, personal care products and educational tools in the Bay Area.
Cho, a professional entertainer and outspoken activist for equal rights, will be closely involved with the future development and strategic growth plans of the company, Good Vibrations announced.
"We are honored and thrilled to have Margaret on our Board," said Good Vibrations president and CEO, Theresa Sparks. "She will give us a fresh perspective on contemporary trends in pop culture and her personal values fit perfectly with those of our staff, management and shareholders."
Cho took the stage at the Board of Directors' introduction party and remarked, "I am joining Good Vibrations just in time. My Hitachi (vibrator) has just fallen into two pieces after 15 years."
Cho, who was once hailed by the New York Times as "murderously funny," has recently added a fourth concert, "Assassin," and a second book, "I Have Chosen to Stay and Fight" to her repoirtoire. The San Francisco native attended school on Haight St. during the 70's and then gradually built a national following for her act.
"Margaret's Sensuous Woman stage show is the most diverse, high-energy show I've seen in ages -- maybe ever," said Good Vibrations staff sexologist and Chief Cultural Officer, Carol Queen. "Margaret Cho does burlesque as well as comedy, showing how much she's been influenced by the sex-positive arts, further proving she's a perfect addition for the Good Vibrations board."
The Good Vibrations board of directors includes Carol Queen, Ph.D., Theresa Sparks, Adrienne Haddad, Linda Shaw and its newest member, Donna Daniels, Ph. D., a consumer strategist from research analyst firm, Iconoculture.
Cho will also be responsible to making decisions regarding company growth and overall navigation, to help enforce the company's mission statement as well as the values of the shareholders.
