to you!" The birthday party was a huge success, and all of Miss Foozie's friends had a great time. Miss Foozie was never the same again, having found something that made her happy, and she had found something truly special that made people laugh. Career In April 2007, Miss Foozie told Chicago magazine her first paid gig was the weekly stage show "Miss Foozie and Her Floozies" at age 37 for US$30 per show, however, Chicago gave Miss Foozie's age as 48 at this time, mistakenly, since Miss Foozie's first gig was indeed at age 37, and before his 37th birthday on April 6, 1997, Miss Foozie did not exist. That would have made Miss Foozie 47 on April 6, 2007. Miss Foozie also told Chicago her alter ego works full-time at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, and her fantasy job is to be Miss Foozie full-time, although she takes working vacations roughly every other month to cities including Washington, D.C. and New York. In April 2007, Boystown pizzeria Pie Hole named a pie after her: "Miss Foozie's Signature Pie". "She's a ham, and she calls everyone pineapple...so it was only a matter of time. Full ¼ lb. of ham and big chunks of pineapple, plus we pull out a $1 donation for Foozie Charity in honor of all the work she does in the community." In addition to Foozie Charity, she was Miss December in the "Glamour Of Boystown Chicago" Charity Calendar. Miss Foozie had the opportunity to be hostess of the 2009 13th Annual Triangle Neighbors' Northalsted Halloween Parade, and she did indeed emcee the parade as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'''s Queen of Hearts, following that year's theme of the parade, "Mad Hatter's Ball". This was her third year as emcee for this huge event in Boystown. Movies and television In 2004, Miss Foozie appeared in Twenty Gay Stereotypes Confirmed, a tongue-in-cheek look at Gay stereotypes using the director's childhood home movies. She appears on the streets of Chicago introducing the third stereotype with her iconic catchphrase, "Hello, Pineapples!" In 2005, Miss Foozie made a special appearance in Bowser Makes a Movie, a comedy with a young man struggling to make a Gay adult film. In 2007, Miss Foozie appeared as herself in Father Knows..., a Gay interest film involving a father-son relationship, Gay romance, and explicit sex. In 2009, Miss Foozie played herself again in Sister Mary,
