Julio: What first drew you to Chase Lisbon or Supercult that made you decide to model?
Roxie: Like, 5 years ago I was sort of seeing this guy who couldn't stop talking about a new model on Supercult with his friends. I was like, what the hell is Supercult? So I checked it out and thought it was great. All the girls were cute and the shoots were fun. It was cute that Chase and his girlfriend were working on it together. I liked that aside from just being a site of naked girls, Supercult had subculture elements that I identified with. So all those things really attracted me to the site. I really liked how all the models looked like me and my friends. I had never seen anything like that before, plus I guess the idea of nude modeling was kind of intriguing. So I added Chase to my buddylist and he was online. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now I know that it was the magical powers of fate at work, because I have not seen Chase online a single time since 2001. So yeah, we met up a week later at the Troma studio in New York and did our first shoot. It was awesome, except the boy who had told me about the site in the first place wasn't psyched about this at all.
J: I actually happened to catch Chza online the other night and we were exchanging modern day emoticon and acronym use, when in reference to you he mentioned that "Roxie is a pale, midget, olympic swimmer slash professional stunt driver." What's up with that?
R: Shit, I don't know, dude, they don't even have water where I hail from. I can't swim. I definitely never got around to getting my driver's license, growing up in NYC and all. It would be something more like "Roxie is a hella dark ass Eastern European giant, professional high-end footwear connoisseur, slash semi-professional sharpshooter, slash leisure hobbyist." Is that way less exciting?
J: Absolutely not, in fact it's not far off from what Chase really said, which was "Roxie is tall, beautiful, dark, and doesn't know how to swim or drive." Where is it that you're from, anyways, that has a New York City gal slang changin' with words like "hella"? Big L is shaking his head somewhere.
R: I hail from Yerevan, Armenia to Killa Queens. So I've been living in New York since I was 11. I think that when I traded my brown Dickies and Lookout! Records collection in for skinny jeans and a DFA mix, I might have forgotten to give "hella" back too, and it just kind of lingered in my ex-bay-area-wanna-be vocabulary. But also, I remember when Chase was moving to LA he was all "hella-psyched-ass" on people talking surfer slang 24/7, then he got there and nobody did. Except all the pre-move practicing still has me saying "shaka brah" at least 15 times a day 4 years later. Wish I was joking. No I don't. Shaka Brah.
J: You probably hear this a lot, or have even said it yourself: Supercult isn't just a site with naked chicks, it's a family. Is that true to you? What role would you say that you play en la familia?
R: I mean, it definitely is a family. I can't really say what my part is in the whole scheme of things, but I've been around for a while now and I've seen the site evolve. A bunch of people have come and gone but there is always a core posse. When I first joined, most of the models were from the Boston and Baltimore areas, everyone knew each other and at any given time there would be, like, 5 of the girls kickin' it at the "Mansion." We would get together for holidays, which, for better or worse, was never a publicity attempt because everyone who was part of it was already involved with Supercult. Now that we have models from all parts of the country, we may not all know each other personally, but I feel like there is still something linking everyone together. I mean, money obviously isn't the incentive for anyone who wants to be involved with Supercult, we're not there yet. So, it's other things about the lifestyle or the culture of Supercult that attract people and those are the things that we all have in common which put us on the same page. I feel like everytime Supercult people get together there are so many ridiculous stories and weird inside jokes that come out of it, that it's hard to see those people as just "business partners" or whatever. When you put a bunch of people who share a ton of similar interests together, I guess it's just a matter of time before their relationships start transcending work. CFFC. Tag, you're it.
J: Enough about Supercult. Let's talk more about me. Let's say we're at a bar, right... well, I mean you were there and then I was there - we didn't necessarily show up together. But whatever, we happened to be there at the same time - okay so listen to this, ready... and I'm all checking you out and you're all noticing... you're thinking that I think you're cute and I'm thinking you're cute too... so what kind of drink should I buy you?
R: I guess this is the question where we find out that I'm a lush. At the moment Henny and pineapple please, unless we're at some shitty ass dive bar that doesn't serve fine cognacs, then whatevs, something from the top shelf, please. It really depends on the type of night we're having. I'm always down with she-she drinks that have flamingos and umbrellas in them, but I also love "interactive/competitive/game" drinking, so if you're up for doing an Irish car bomb, or some shots of Jameson, you can count me in. Just don't get me beer or anything with gin in it.
J: Oh damn, you're a straight baller. Let's do a little role playing. I'm walking up to you, a bit of a swagger to my step, a proper display of male dominance in an urban environment. We lock eyes for a moment and I knew right then that you wanted me. No, I'm kidding, but I give a quick 2-step clap and a spin and I'm seated next to you anyways. "Hey gurrrl..." I suck my bottom lip at you "Let me buy you a drink... no, I insist, seriously what the hell do you want?"
R: I mean if you had a gold chain and some ice in your ear to go along with that swagger, maybe some Marc Jacobs Vans to throw me off, if you had a Range Rover parked outside, we could get down.
If I wasn't feeling you I'd say "keep the drink and give me the money."
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm a nice girl and I definitely love guys with a lot of confidence. I'll usually take the drink and the conversation, but I'm not gonna lie, the physical attraction part is a big factor in a situation like that. And I can't role play if you're not in front of my face.
J: It turns out I'm broke. I can't even buy you a drink. If a guy doesn't have money he should have...?
R: Why are you broke though? All I do is work and go to school, I wouldn't mind being someone's sugar mamma if they were, like, talented and working towards something but just weren't there yet. I need someone funny, someone smart, someone who can hang with me acting like a 14 year old, someone with ideas, someone who's nice to me and gets along with my friends. It's nice being taken care of and wined and dined and all, but that other stuff is definitely more important to me than money. So, if I met someone who fit all that and they were broke at the moment, whatever. But, if you're broke because you're lazy and you don't feel like working, I can't respect that shit.
J: You mentioned modeling nude intrigues you, besides being naked and beautiful, what else intrigues you?
R: Deep waters, microbiology, biochemistry, people that are really sure of themselves, con artists, counterfeiters.
J: What is your favorite photograph or shoot that Chase has done of you? Or anyone?
R: I loved doing the christmas one because there was a lot of sexual energy going on and it was more fun than a solo shoot. My favorite, though, is probably my New York Dolls shoot because I look smokin'. Thanks Chizzy! Chase's pictures have become so beautiful recently. All the models look flawless and glowing and almost ethereal, it's kind of hard to pick a favorite one, so here are my top 3:
1. Dana and the holigrams
2. Snowflake and Dana's spaceXcore
3. Snakefight's red bathtub shoot
I also love Rosemary, she looks like a doll.
J: There's something about every Supercult model that makes them a favorite, no two are alike and in that way each stand out so beautifully. Chase has definitely stepped it up and put it down. I think one of my favorite sets goes to Rosemary's "katie lehart's" ... mad class fo dat ass.
Tell me something nobody knows about you, or you wont readily admit.
R: Maybe I shouldn't readily admit that I just spent $200 to see Justin Timberlake in concert, but I'm admitting it. I used to be terrified of vampires when I was little so I would sleep with cloves of garlic under my pillow for a pretty long time. I was in a "coven" with 3 of my nerd friends in middle school after The Craft came out. I know pretty much all the words to Jesus Christ Superstar. One time, on accident, I almost threw a girl into traffic over graffiti "beef," maybe I shouldn't admit that. I like anal sex. I don't know dude, this is like the hardest question ever.
J: What's your favorite body part?
R: Do teeth count as a body part? If they do then teeth are my hands down favorite body part. I actually have a weird obsession with all things dental. Hands are a close second, especially on the opposite sex. I love boy hands. Then backs.
J: If you ruled the world and everyone in it...
R: I don't really want the responsibility, is that shitty?
J: Actually that's completely understandable, in fact that is a very intelligent way to answer a question in which you could have replied "oh yeah everyone rides around on unicorns and shit", but hey let's not be internettaker2srslyrs, yeah I said it. I'm not even going to give you a question. What now? Wait that's kind of a question. Whatever. Your move.
R: This is the best fucking interview I've ever had. So wait, what the hell were you asking? Oh right, nothing.
J: You are in a traditional gang style battle rap. It is to the death. You go first.
R: it's your girl sonasty most of yall know me as roxie
