Interview: Messy Stench
Tromette of the Month, December 2003

































1. How did you first discover Troma and what was your first Tromatic experience?

Well, i've known of troma since i can remember, though i didn't connect the dots-of- madness until my late high school years. what can i say, i was a late bloomer... and when i DID bloom, i looked rather strange. to be completely honest, i've never watch much tv, since i'm such a hyperactive spaz... and i have the attention span of an A.D.D. kid on fucking cocaine.

2. How did you become a Tromette?

well justin, i don't quite remember, it was so long ago that the idea was proposed to me. i think YOU were listening to my radio show one day and just sorta' proposed the idea and i was all for it. troma is chalk-full of fucked up individuals and i wanted a part in it!!

3. Would you ever consider being in a Troma film?

oh hell yeah. i acted in my first film over the summer of 03, where i played a "lolita kinderwhore" and my character went through some seriously tromatic shit, so i'm sure i'd be a good candidate. as long as you don't mind the fact that i have implants. that's what the last 3 pictures in my tromette gallery are from - the filming of the movie. my character gets serious vaginal abuse and i had to have my pantied crotch hanging out in a shot, so they had to put makeup around my pussy, which was fun. i was spread out on this backwoods-bar's bathroom floor, with ugly-shyla (actress/model) applying crotch bruises and tina (directress) putting dead-girl makeup on my face. the last picture is me with the dog that finds my dead character - man, i laid there forever in a pile of garbage with bugs and shit crawlin' all over my head. i mean, yea sure, i'm used to it, but i was tied up too, so i couldn't play with them and that made me sad.

4. Tell us a little bit about your other projects.

well, i have a weekly internet radio show through www.freeradiosaic.org that happens every friday from 6-8central time, except when the school is closed for holiday. my show will be offline from dec. 20th to jan 9th, when i start back up. i play a ton of random shit and have guests, such as gwar, kid entropy, kmfdm, bozo porno circus, the berzerker, etc. basically, i play the most kickass music and the worst fucking music, i fuck shit up and talk about disgusting crap for a few hours and the people, they love it! there is a live webcam during the show, you can request songs beforehand, you can call in and talk to me on the air and there's also live chat... if you want to keep up to date on what's goin' on with me or my radio show, you can email me to be put on my mailing list. it's private and fucking tits!

my modelling "career" started about a year ago and i'm takin' a little break from it to get my clothing company up and running. i've worked with some awesome photographers and have learned a lot of shit. it's also opened a lot of doors for me, which is funny. the shit you can get away with if you're a scantily-clad, hot-freaky chick. it's really quite amazing.

my clothing company is called dumpstar designs (.com) and i'm about to work on the web presence for it. photographers have been photographing me and other models in my clothing for quite some time now and i've done a few fashion shows with my stuff. it's fun and is one of my favorite things to do. each piece is custom made from dumpster-finds or thifting goods... pieced together to form some badass gear. check it out, yo. it'll make your manties dance.

i also illustrate - that's what originally got me interested in art and going to art school, though i got a bfa for print design (which i don't really like to do too much). i draw a buncha' fucked up shit for my friends, commissioned pieces, tattoo flash, etc. i got kicked off the online "deviant art" community for life because of supposed "child pornography" in a lot of my images, which i think is funny. i mean, little kids should have the choice to fuck, right? http://www.messystench.com/illustrate.html

web design is something else i've been doing for quite some time now - i designed craptabulous.com, messystench.com, dumpstardesigns.com (under cuntstruction) and a few others that have been pretty damned successful, though craptabulous is my greatest achievement so far. it's grown out of my hands and i need slutty interns to work on it now... any takers? now, bend over!

i'm also in a few bands - diodegeist recruited me as a vocalist/frontlady - they're from philly. i record the songs in a studio here in chicago and send the unaffected mp3s over to them, they mix it with their own musical genius and voila!! i JUST joined, but i was blown away by their songs already and had to be a part of it. these guys are so talented it makes me want to vomit shit all over my microphone and it's industrial craziness, so that's okay. the other band is an electro freakout called "dirty tickle", once known as "oops i fucked your dog", which is really slow-going, but we get together once every few months and just play around and make some fun shit. we're trying to get what we have out on a demo and round up some fans as fucked up as we are.

5. What are your favorite Troma movies?

well, cannibal the musical makes me laugh so hard that my fallopian tubes fall out and then i step on them and it hurts, which turns out to be a good thing in the end. i can always tell when i really love a movie when i have to pick my insides out of my boot treads with a stick. i'm also a fan of killer condoms, but i have a raging hardon for geiger... and the fact that he was involved in this movie is just ... odd.

6. What are some of your favorite non-Troma movies?

well, house of 1000 corpses is fresh meat in my head, since i just saw it a few days ago. everyone told me it sucked blue-whale balls and a lot whined that it was "too gory". i immediately came in my own eye and wanted more. the carnival-meets-slaughterhouse feel of it really made my ass gasp and the fact that he had such a kickass uber-evil guy and had the budget AND the balls to show it was gutsy... it seems that in a lot of movies where they build up the big baddie, they either don't have the budget to show him in his true glory, or they construct such a pitiful version that it ruins the whole movie. go rob zombie... and your hottie girlfriend.

7. Favorite music?

i've been a big electro-whore as of late (thanks to my good space-disco bandmate, tobias berblinger): adult, mt. sims, oops i fucked your dog, crack we are rock, dirty tickle, fischerspooner, miss kittin, peaches... but then i can't stop listening to gay hardhouse, gabber, techno and industrial...such as the berzerker, noisex, unit 187, delta 9, submerge 101, thomas krome, apocalypse theater, mistress barbara, the mad capsule markets, cari lekebusch, mindless self indulgence, swamp terrorists, diodegeist, prototype 909, front line assembly, bozo porno circus, andreas kramer, daft punk, alec empire, kid entropy ...rap crap like mc paul barman, outkast, princess superstar, 2 live crew, missy elliot, jam pony express, ... punk shit like state of fear, disrupt, raooul, dahmer, doom, decrypt, code 13, the locust, all of mike patton's projects (most notably mr. bungle & tomahawk), deceived ... metal like sepultura, 7000 dying rats, L7, gwar, system of a down, twisted sister, ... geniuses like danny elfman, rob zombie & goblin ... classics like alice cooper, queen, guns 'n' roses, joan jett, lords of acid, ramones, richard hell & the voidoids, slayer, the clash, crass, thrill kill, the cramps... i've got a huge musical erection

8. Anything else you'd like to mention?

i just put out the messy stench 2004 calendar for $30. it's pretty cool cuz' each month has a little message in my own handwriting and there are a lot of neverbeforeseen images of me on there. i charge $20 for 8x10s on my site, and you get 13 11x9s for only $30 - that's a fucking steal. there is a lot of other fucked up shit for sale on my site, like used panties, socks, tampons, you name it - i also have tshirts, mugs, hats and other "normal" stuff too. if you have a fetish, i'll gladly fulfill it and probably already have, so come take a look... no requests will shock me - just gimme' an email, WEE!
