Some years ago, you may have seen her handing out derby flyers for events inside the dome that once housed the Spruce Goose. <\/p>\n<p> Lately, it seems like Mimi Masher is everywhere. She&#8217;s working at MADE in Long Beach, is involved in a documentary about gay pride festivals, makes fun jewelry with a laser, is the co-host with Allison Kripp of a new cooking show called <em>2 Hot Dishes<\/em>, runs the Long Beach Junior Roller Derby league, and is helping to organize next month&#8217;s Long Beach Irish Heritage Parade and Festival, taking place on Saturday, March 12. The parade starts on Pine Avenue and 6th Street at 2:00PM. She&#8217;s also helping to coordinate an exhibition of early candid portraits of Snoop Dogg, taken by Duke Givens. <\/p>\n<p> Her character is perhaps more colorful than her hair and, in this video interview, it was a pleasure to speak with her about her burrito obsession, as well as her many other activities and interests. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_wAZhOUHsD4?rel=0\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the <a href=\"http:\/\/irishheritageparade.com\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Irish Heritage Parade and Festival<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1632219050364387\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">exhibition of early photos by Duke Givens of famed Long Beach rapper, Snoop Dogg<\/a>, her line of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msmimimasher.com\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">laser cut custom jewelry<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.longbeachjuniorrollerderby.com\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Long Beach Junior Roller Derby<\/a>, her new cooking show,<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/2HotDishes\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2 Hot Dishes<\/a><\/em>, and her documentary film about <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/All-I-Want-LGBTQ-Pride-Festival-Documentary-422891481252747\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Long Beach Pride<\/a><\/em>.
