annie: I feel like we've been fixed up. Like a blind date. isabelle: Totally. annie: Is your chair comfortable enough? isabelle: Sure. annie: I want you to be comfortable. isabelle: (laughing) Ok. annie: If you could watch two animals mating, any two animals, what would they be? isabelle: Bumble bees. annie: I'm not sure that they mate. isabelle: Well they must do something. annie: I think the queen lays eggs into some honey and they just grow into more bees. isabelle: I think they touch butts. annie: Well I'm not a scientist. Who is your favorite scientist? isabelle: Theirry Savin, a friend of mine. Phd in physics from MIT. Oh god, is he smart. annie: Has he invented anything? isabelle: He tried to do this thing with lasers and skin cells and tiny little holes that he shot the lasers through. Something about re-growing skin. I don't think it worked. I would call him and bug him when he was in the lab, so I don't think I helped. He showed me his math and I had to go outside. annie: Ok. Math lasers. So how did you meet Chase? isabelle: An ex-boyfriend just said "You should do Supercult." I sent Chase a picture. They were friends. annie: So you hadn't done any modeling at all before that? isabelle: Nope. annie: When was this? isabelle: 2001. annie: So you are pretty OG. isabelle: Totally. annie: Do you have any fond memories at all from 6 years of Supercult? isabelle: Oh god, all of it. Shooting with Chase. Boxed wine. Vegas with Megs, Angie, and Candice. Sharing a hotel room with Usro and Rich. Christmas party. Mystery punch. Supercult is probably my most favorite part of my life. El Bandito. Man down, game over. annie: So what about-- isabelle: Oh, and making the movie was fun. And then I cut my hair off and ran away to L.A to get away from my ex-boyfriend. That was great, too. And I then I stepped on Chase's crab and killed it. annie: What about terrible, disastrous, evil memories? isabelle: Let's just say the time Chase burned me with the lights and almost set my room on fire. That was back during the drinking days. annie: Next question, ok? If you could be an expert in a fighting style, a martial arts fighting style, what would it be? isabelle: I'm a lover not a fighter. annie: Karate? isabelle: No, I wouldn't fight. But I am restraint trained. I used to work with-- annie: Jeet Kun Do? isabelle: I use to work with autistic kids. I had to learn how to protect myself. But I do want a baseball bat, painted pink, with my name in gold letters. But that would be for fighting off zombies. Just in case they attack. annie: Do you really think you could fight zombies with a bat? You have to hide until someone shows up with guns. isabelle: How many zombie movies have you seen? A bat is the perfect weapon. Go for the head. annie: But don't need to separate the head from the body? That kind of just smashes it. Am I thinking of vampires? isabelle: You need to kill the brain, no separation needed. For vampires it's a steak thru the heart or garlic or sunlight. I have a friend who is terrified of vampires. I'm afraid of moths and butterflies. annie: What if you got the bat blessed by a priest? That wouldn't kill a vampire but you could probably win a fight with one using it, right? isabelle: I don't know if I'd fight one off. I might want to get turned into a vampire. You'd think I was a goth chick or something. annie: Wait, like a romantic Anne Rice homoerotic vampire or like a killer horror movie vampire? isabelle: I'm sure both. I am a hot horror show most days. annie: I don't know if either vampire faction would ever truly accept you then. isabelle: I'm a loner, Dotty. A rebel. annie: When is the last time you fell down? isabelle: When is the last time I was drunk? annie: I don't know. isabelle: Oh, I fell onto a bike when I was at this kid's show. I thought I had a thing for him. He saw the whole thing. And then he saw me sing Vanilla Ice karaoke with my friend. And then I spilled red wine all over her. He stopped calling me. (laughing) I'm really not that much of a disaster. But lately I have been drinking too much. annie: What do you drink? isabelle: Vodka, usually. I'm Ukrainian. It doesn't hurt in the morning and sometimes I feel like it flows throw my veins. annie: When I was little, like in preschool, I cut my bangs totally off. And when all the adults freaked out I just blamed this boy who was kind of a trouble maker. Everyone believed me and he got in trouble. And I just this year finally told my mom. isabelle: Well, I was pretty bad. Total tomboy. My best friend was a bad influence. It was a lot of fun. I always snuck out, it was super easy. And I did take my dad's car to a show about hours away. And then we got a flat tire. I wasn't supposed to have the car, and I had to explain why I had a bunch of boys with me. But I was straight-vegan-girl back then, so that was the extend of my trouble. annie: Ok, but listen. It's a given that a vampire beats a zombie, right? How many zombies do you think it would take to beat a vampire? isabelle: Is this a riddle? annie: The answer may hold the key, yes. isabelle: Then it's seven. annie: That sounds right. |
