Alice Magazine NYC - Chapter 3

ABIGAIL LEYVA: Do you think it’s better to be street smart or book smart?
LIZ: I think that’s a circumstantial question. I believe that there’s a time a place for
‘this’ and for ‘that’. If you wanna buy illegal drugs, you wanna be street smart.. If you
wanna start a law firm, you wanna be book smart, yeah?
SHAZAM: Generally speaking, I’d rather be strolling along the brighter side of town
with all of my blood, than a nerd lying dead in the wrong alley, amidst his his student
loans and cultural studies thesis.
AL: What kind of power have you found in music?
LIZ: The ability to match physical energy to emotional response and sensation. It’s
like pseudo mind-body control and I love it. MWUAHHAHAHA!!
SHAZAM: The power of voodoo.
AL: What’s your favorite way to spend a rainy day?
LIZ: Drinking coffee.. making beats.. Netflixing.. Gaming.. Cuddling.. Sporadic outdoor
nude photo sets..
SHAZAM: Reading cultural studies theses from the Library of Alexandria. “We read
to know we are not alone.”
AL: Which is better to listen to your heart or your brain?
LIZ: Well factually, our brains tell us what our hearts are feeling.. so as long as you
know that that bias is there, you should be able to determine which one is cohesive
for each moment -once again, circumstantial..
SHAZAM: If you are at THE FAME RIOT, and your heart is telling you to get naked
and jump onstage and dance, but your brain is telling you to sit down cause nobody
wants to see that, go with your heart cause we want to see that.
AL: If you had to challenge someone to a duel, what would your weapon of choice be
and why?
LIZ: A lightsaber cause I can use The Force.
SHAZAM: My Hattori Hanzo hair shears. Cause I could make that pleb look like shat,
baaa-tch. ;)
AL: Are you the kind of friend you would want to have as a friend?
LIZ: Of course. At times, I have no choice, I am my only friend..
SHAZAM: “You are your own worst enemy.”
AL: What’s a song that everytime you hear it makes you want to dance your life away?
LIZ: Oouuu great question, baby! So many -TOO many!! Hmmm top 3? Okay, top 3
are: “Love Never Felt So Good” - Michael Jackson, “Moon Rocks” - Talking Heads, and
“Get Off My Cloud” - Rolling Stones.
SHAZAM: Ohhhh babe you went there! How bout these: “Just the Two of Us” - Bill
Withers “What A Fool Believes” - The Doobie Brothers “Four Kicks” - Kings of Leon
