nb: This, I believe, is the perfect lead-in to your interview.
Since day one of my site, and all that I do here, one of my top goals was to somehow try to impress punk rock chicks.

I wasn't positive how I was going to get this done, but I had some ideas. So you can only imagine how delighted I was when you first emailed me. Do you at all remember how you stumbled onto my site in the first place? What grabbed you about it? In short, what'd I do right? rx: I believe I came across it because of your artwork. And, as soon as I started reading your comics and commentary, I loved it. It was really smart, but in a really funny, silly way. nb: Now if my math is right, that was almost NINE years ago! You have seriously only gotten prettier, and more punk rock, if that's possible. Which reminds me... how the hell did you make that Halloween costume?? rx: haha- the Molotov Cocktease costume? I just took a zip down spandex bodysuit, cut out the front panel and back, and taped it on with titty tape. It was, admittedly, not the most comfortable thing in the world.

nb: It's probably the most memorable Halloween costume I've seen in the last 5 years! Were people walking into tables, and failing to look you in the eye when talking to you?
rx: It was kinda weird. I was definitely being treated differently. And guys kept trying to photograph my ass. It was weird, because these guys had no idea I had dreads and tattoos. Not my usual demographic.

nb: That's one thing I've noticed about you over the years. You have a lot of very normal friends, and seem to hang in pretty normal places for someone who rocks as much as you do visually Do you work at a punk place?
rx: I  think I just don't limit myself. I definitely have punk rock friends, and go to punk shows, but not all of my friends are the same as me. And I have been working as a bartender for the last few years, so... yes and no? Bars are neutral territory.

nb: Were you in a band at one point? Or possibly still?
rx: Yeah. For a while back in my teens. Now I just get drunk and subject everybody to my karaoke voice.

nb: That's another thing, you've definitely kept the look going splendidly for the last decade! You make it look so easy. Like, "whatever. That's just me."
rx: Thank you! I don't even really think about it anymore. Until someone says something.

nb: It's kind of the model for what I consider my ideal gf.
rx: Me, too!

nb: And let me add, I'm thrilled to see you getting more pics taken of you lately too! It's been the only hold up to posting you on the site.
rx: I go through phases. Ironically, when I'm most interesting/busy, I don't get many photos.

nb: I bet you get lots of photos taken ... you just never hear about it.
rx: Now I'm going to be in creeper mode everywhere I go. Thanks Bob.

nb: It's the horrible fate of a hot punker chick with a hawk and visible midriff. I'm sorry it has to be that way for you. 
rx: Eh. I won't say I hate attention. As long as people are marginally respectful.

nb: I was so happy I finally got to meet you in AZ a few years back, and now you're back on the site again!
rx:  I get a lot MORE attention in the presence a 7-foot devil.

nb: We did, didn't we? We even made getting lost fun. 
rx: That was definitely my fault. But that Walgreens will never be the same.

nb: So, I think that's about all I need for the interview. Care to end it with a bang of a comment or anything?
rx: Kids need to be more vocal about questioning dogma around them! And listen to more metal!
