     Eden Riegel just never stops.  Aside from taking on her reprieval of her role as Bianca, Erica Kane's openly gay daughter on "All My Children" she is involved in other ventures as well as other causes.  While just about everyone knows Riegel from "All My Children" just about anyone who has watched Riegel's lead role in the hit web series "Imaginary Bitches" created by her husband (Andrew Miller) has seen her talent in a different light.

     When I spoke to Riegel about all her ventures this past October she was anxiously awaiting the release of the first complete season of "Imaginary Bitches" in DVD format.  She promised the DVD would be released in glorious high definition with tons and extra features and also promised details of a second season soon. 

    The DVD is now available at the "Imaginary Bitches" website in all its digital glory just as Riegel promised.  The interesting twist on this story is what she and her husband decided to do with their success after 'Prop 8' passed.  When you buy the DVD, 88 cents will be donated to continuing efforts to turn 'Prop 8' away.  Sarah Warn over at 'After Ellen' interviewed Riegel earlier this month and here is some of what she had to say about the "Imaginary Bitches" PSA she and her husband created to keep 'Prop 8' on the front burner as well as their decision to donate a portion of their profits to overturning this decision.
 

The best way Andrew is able to express himself is through those bitches, Catherine and Heather, so we decided to make a comedic version of the PSA’s that Leonardo DiCaprio and all his fancy friends did to help bring out the vote to spread the word about Prop 8. Donating 88 cents from the sale of each Imaginary Bitches DVD was a way to put our money where our collective mouths were."
