CRAZY GLU - PART 2Jessica Gysel Knows You're Gay
INTERVIEW BY AMY KELLNER
See all articles by this contributorWhat’s the most popular feature you’ve ever done? We had a series of photos of handbags that look like pussies. That’s the one people always talk about, and then the photographer sold the series to Italian Rolling Stone. Who is your dream interview? I would have loved to interview Susan Sontag before she died. Recently, I’ve been trying to get in touch with Fran Lebowitz. It’s hard because she doesn’t have email. I’ve been going through a friend of a friend of a friend. Maybe also Jil Sander, the fashion designer, but she’s not out. It’s like, either they’re not out or if they are, they’ve been interviewed a million times already. Like K.D. Lang or something—it’s too obvious. It’s hard to find exciting new people to interview. So you have all these big lesbo icons, but what are the new, young dykes doing? Well, there are lots of great new bands, like Telepathe, No Bra, Lissy Trullie, and all these booty bands from Brooklyn like Michelle, Durty Nanas, and Yo Majesty. Kim Ann Foxman has a new band called Hercules and Love Affair on DFA records. I love it, it’s very classical New York house music. And there’s the whole scene around CocoRosie and their VoodooEros label. Ew, CocoRosie is gay? Bianca is. As for writers, we just had the cartoonist Ariel Schrag interview this writer Melissa Plaut. Melissa was one of the few female cabbies in New York and she kept a blog about it called New York Hack that just got made into a book.  Oh yeah, I know her! We used to hang out at the Hole sometimes. Yeah, she’s gonna be in the next issue. We also have an interview with Maria Beatty, an old New York S/M-style filmmaker from the 80s. She has great stories. For me it’s important to tell a bit about lesbian history because nobody knows about it. I’m always trying to dig up more stuff. What about new lesbian artists? There’s a new group of artists in Stockholm and they are really queer. That’s the thing, the younger generation are more into defining themselves as queer than as lesbians. And they date boys, girls, whatever—they don’t care. I like interviewing older women best because they have more stories to tell and a bigger body of work to talk about. The younger ones, we use them in the shoots. They should just shut up and look beautiful. Ha! No, no, that was a joke. What’s your favorite interview you ever did? Edwige Belmore. She was a Parisian model, a famous It Girl in the late 70s and 80s. She dated Sade and Grace Jones. Man, I love how you know about all the secret lesbians! Oh, there’s so much more lesbian gossip that I’m not allowed to tell. It sucks. I’ll have to save it all for my memoirs. For more see glumagazine.com. CRAZY GLU | 1 | 2 |
