SingularCity.com unveils the Holiday issue of Singular magazine
 Singular magazine, Los Angeles’s premiere magazine for single people, has just wrapped up production of their second issue with a special Holiday theme featuring an exclusive cover story with actress/comedienne Amy Sedaris. Titled “Pixie with a Punch,” the Sedaris profile is accompanied by exclusive photos from leading designer and photographer Todd Oldham.
The issue also includes a fanciful, over-the-top luxury gift guide featuring an outrageous gift for each of the Twelve Days of Christmas. There’s also a feature titled “Going to the Gurus” a “behind closed doors” report on the pop culture self-help craze; “Fresh for the Holidays” a how-to for creating a festive yet healthy holiday feast; and “Ski Date with Telluride” a breathtaking travel feature that will have readers packing their bags for next flight to Colorado.
In the cover story, written by Eric Spitznagel who is a contributing writer for Playboy, Esquire, Maxim and Blender, Sedaris opens up about her life in the Big Apple and proves she’s a living contradiction to every “single” stereotype.
"I'm too independent to be in a relationship," says Sedaris. "I like dating and I've had plenty of boyfriends, but I like being alone a lot better. I like having my own space and making my own decisions. I never want to be in a relationship where the other person says, 'Listen, I promised this guy at work we'd drop by for brunch on Sunday.' Are you kidding me? Not gonna happen!"
“Amy Sedaris embraces the best of the Singular philosophy,” said Kim Calvert, Singular magazine and SingularCity.com’s Editorial Director. “Amy is fierce, funny and fabulous and she enjoys her life to the fullest. She’s an amazing talent with an incredible imagination and an outrageous sense of humor. We’re delighted to have her on the cover of Singular.”
Singular’s Holiday Issue also features an insightful article that posits laughter as “orgasm of the soul,” as well as Singular’s staple sections such as: “Simon Says” with advice from Simon who answers questions about everything from sex to etiquette; “Cocktail Chat” with bite-size quirky tidbits, tantalizing news and nonsense from around the city, the country and the globe; and Higher Purpose which addresses a unique way to get involved in efforts to improve our neighborhoods and the planet.
The holiday issue will be direct-mailed to 70,000 subscribers on November 20th and is slated to hit newsstands and bookstores throughout Los Angeles on November 25th.
 | Amy is just over 5 feet tall.
In addition to her imaginary boyfriend, Ricky, she’s also had an imaginary dog named Douglas and an imaginary monkey named Pockets.
As a teenager, Amy would make prank calls to her father, pretending to be a family friend and trying to lure him into an affair. Her dad, never realizing it was Amy, always turned her down.
She taught Martha Stewart how to make a grilled cheese sandwich in prison ... by using an iron.
She considered writing a children’s book about a tequila worm with low self-esteem, with an inspiring message about “reaching for the lowest star,” but her publisher rejected the idea.
When not writing or performing, Amy sometimes picks up a shift as a waitress at Mary’s Fish Camp in New York’s West Village.
| She also runs a homemade cupcake and cheese ball business out of her apartment. All of the profits go directly to her pet rabbit, Dusty (who also acts as the company’s CEO and president).
She was featured in the video for Dolly Parton’s 2007 hit “Better Get To Livin’,” where she played a cross-eyed fortuneteller and the carnival barker for “Dolly’s Circus of Human Emotions.”
Amy has portrayed two Disney princesses: Cinderella, in the animated film Shrek the Third, and a very flustered Snow White (who has somehow misplaced her dwarfs), in an episode of Sesame Street.
During an awards reception in New York, actor Ethan Hawke complimented Amy on her dress. She purportedly told him, “It looks better on the floor. You could talk me out of it.”
