Working for the man by day, renegade artist by night, this girl is living the Brisbane dream and does so in the most stylish manner. Often spotted around the traps looking fresh faced with her dark hair in a tight bun and super sharp in all black – she’s kinda like a hot batman. Have you met Sascha? Because holy haberdashery Batman! She’s our babe of the week.
What do you do/ tell us a little bit about yourself? I have a very unbefitting job at Myer, but when I am not working I am found on any hardwood surface of my house drawing things such as Asian hotties, dead and mangled birds, gnarled hands, pervy old men, hussys, dancing bears and the list goes on. Ever since I was knee high to a grasshopper I had a profuse desire to hoard clothes and collect copious amounts of kitsch trinkets, ceramic oddities, and religious paraphernalia, yeah, I’m a cliché. I have also developed a rather serious case of social paranoia (which you will be happy to hear that i am now slowly easing out of it with the help of friends, alcohol and the call of the dance floor.)
Age? As our cockney rhyming, purple rinsed elders would say down at the ol’ bingo tent – A Duck and a Flea…..23.
Do you have yourself a girl/boy? I do indeed. He is in Montreal right now. I miss him dearly but I’ll be following him there in two months.
What did you want to be when you grew up? I have no idea. I just called mum to ask and she said a bunch of dumb things that are too embarrassing to write here.
Favourite piece of clothing? I cant single one particular garment out of the family. That would be like a mother blatantly telling her children she loves one of them more.
Favourite beverage/meal combo? Mexican wins and beer. I love beer. I love beer so much.
If you were to make a mix tape for someone, what would it have on it? Oh shit. This question also scares me but i’ll have a crack. I don’t really know any new music since I stopped working at a record store, so here’s some oldies; Misfits, Nina Simone, My Bloody Valentine, Talking Heads (has to be naive melody), The Sugarcubes- birthday, The Smiths, Joni Mitchell, Rowland S. Howard, Nick Cave, Janes Addiction, Johnny Cash, Dinosaur Jr, Modern Lovers, ATDI, Bad Brains, D4, 13th Floor Elevators…ok that’s totally enough. I apologise for being a wanker.
At your IDEAL party:
Who would play? Black Sabbath.
Who would be invited? People I like.
Who is security at the door? A member of the hells angels, preferably complete with hefty beard, ill-fitting leather vest, grey chest hair and dirty black jeans. Knuckle duster and scary face tattoo’s are assets but not essential criteria.
What drinks/food would be served? Free Mexican and beer.
