Burning Angel Interviews: Jeffree Star
xoxo
Joanna Angel
Joanna: Ok. So tell everyone your name.
Jeffree: Jeffree Star...you better spell my name right! JEFFREE, no ?Y?. I have a chain with diamonds spelled out in my name; I'll let you borrow it as a reference, but you have to be topless!
Joanna: [Laughs] Ok, maybe I can borrow it while I edit the interview, and make sure everything is spelled correctly. I edit all of the interviews topless anyway...
Jeffree: Really?
Joanna:...Well, I can't actually say. It's a secret. And speaking of secrets, can you tell us your secret on Myspace? How do you have so many Myspace friends?
Jeffree: The only secret that I have is being more amazing than everyone else. I mean, look at my photos and read what I have to say; no one else is glamorous AND saying what no one wants to hear...aka the truth.
Joanna: Well, I wouldn't say no one...have you been to my Myspace page? [Laughs]
Jeffree: [Laughs] You're an ok gal, but not better than me...
Joanna: Fair enough. Do you actually read the mail you get on Myspace?
Jeffree: Unless your default picture is a guy wearing just underwear, then I probably won't click it. Ok, ok, I'm kidding...actually my 9 to 5 day job is going online, answering emails and marketing myself even further than I already have. I spend a lot of time and energy answering people back and giving advice to people who ask me personal questions all day long.
Joanna: Ok, so here's a personal question for you...what do you consider yourself: a guy, a girl, a tranny, a queen?...tell us. [Pause] Is that offensive that I asked you that?
Jeffree: Nothing offends me unless you call me boring, so please pull my hair and call me a faggot. I actually like it. There is no gender in this body, only plastic parts. I don't call myself a tranny because I don't want to be a girl. I made up the term "mannequin" when referring to myself, because I love looking fake. But I also love when guys with wives give me oral.
Joanna: I totally understand. I like ?mannequin? - it suits you nicely. A good fit!
Jeffree: Thank you.
Joanna: So, coming back to your overwhelming Myspace popularity, did you want to write an album before you had a Myspace page? Or after you had all these friends...were you like, ?I should write an album! I bet these people would buy it?? Like... who came first... Jeffree Star the Singer, or Jeffree Star the Myspace Whore? Or will it always be a ?Chicken or Egg? thing?
Jeffree: Well, I've always been a huge fan of music myself, so after becoming friends with a lot of musicians - by accident, because I'm not a band whore, unlike other Myspace bitches - I wanted to try to do my own thing. Some of my friends had tracks they were working on and they would say, "Come do something on this!" and I would do it as a joke...then learned later that they wanted to use it because my lyrics were unlike anything they'd heard before. I mean, come on...instead of hearing the same "I love you baby, I'm bringing sexy back..." I would rather say the Jeffree version: "I love dick like Anna Nicole loves Trimspa, applying my lipstick while wearing Jon Benet's training bra..." So music wasn't my first priority in the beginning but as I started to post tracks online, it became way bigger than I ever imagined. And of course, being a whore always came first; my mom taught me well.
Joanna: [Laughs] Well, tell us a little about your album first, and then later if we have time, we can talk about your mom...What do you sing about?
Jeffree: My lyrics range from sarcastic sexual references to how fucked up today's ideals of what "beauty" is...I wanted to write songs that I wanted to hear...and what my life meant in three minutes. There are some songs where I'm very sexual, because it gets the point across better than hiding it behind cute Britney Spears-like words. Sorry there's no "Hit me baby one more time..."; it's: "Niggaz on death row request me for their last meals...." If I don't win an award for that line, then someone please kill me now.
Joanna: It is a good line. Maybe I should hire you to do my press releases! [Laughs] Ok, so let's gossip a bit. Are you and Tila Tequila friends? Or Not? Who do you think would win in a fight? Or would you like...never want to fight her?
Jeffree: I'm not sure what a "Tila Tequila" is? Are you talking about the girl that does my nails every 2 weeks when I need a fill? Or are you referring to the hooker that I've seen on the Internet with her smashed-in face, trying to pretend she's famous? Either way, that thing makes me sick and I would rather fuck a dog than ever be near her...And just for the record, I'm fucking crazy. Everyone is all talk, but when it comes down to it, I would fight until she was laying dead on the floor and then I'd say, "Sorry, you were in my way." WAIT WAIT...I mean, I love her! Insert fake LA smile here. [ :) ]
Joanna: [Laughing] Wow! Ok, that was fun gossip! So...let's gossip about you for awhile, since I know you'll be honest: how many hours a day do you spend on your appearance?
Jeffree: Surprisingly it takes me 20 hours just to get the courage to look in the mirror before I EVEN put on any makeup...it's like staring at Mother Mary. I always cry when I see myself at first...it's shocking that something THIS perfect could ever be created by a makeup brush.
Joanna: Do you always do your own make-up? Can you give us some basic make-up tips?
Jeffree: Yes, I was self-taught and I have and will always do my own makeup...I've tried to have other makeup artists do mine, and it always ends up as a disaster...they just don't know what they're doing. I think you should make a new video featuring me, called "Cum On My Makeup" ? I can give you some tips on how to apply the perfect red lipstick, before sucking on a big cock.
Joanna: [Laughs] We could include the video as a bonus feature on the Cum On My Tattoo disc. [Pause] So what made you decide that pink should be your color. And more importantly, why do you look better in pink than I do?
Jeffree: I think after seeing my mother's pussy for the first time, I always thought "I don't want to be inside of that, but I want to be just as pink..." So ever since, I've adopted it as my signature color and I can't stop wearing it. Most girls don't wear the right shade. I think I'd recommend a softer pink for you. Not flamingo pink, more like a pink the color of a flamingo after it's been looked at inside of a zoo by 14-year-old school children.
Joanna: Ok, point taken. I will try a lighter flamingo shade. So...let's move onto more important news: How do you feel about Brittany Spears' shaved head?
Jeffree: Ah! I'm glad you asked! Well, here's how I honestly feel about Brit: finally someone is showing what it's really like to be famous and have the world watch you! It was so amazing to see her have a mental breakdown in front of America; it's so white trash it hurts. Britney is great; she's a fucking psycho. If I never got to have a childhood and there were 30 people telling me to be perfect and skinny for 9 years, I'd be pretty fucked up too...so I totally support her shaving her head, being bulimic AND taking cocaine. More power to her, because rehab never works the first time...we'll be seeing her soon. And just for the record, I won't be shaving my head, but I do shave my pubic hair. All of it.
Joanna: Yeah, I shave mine too! When I get really crazy, that is. [Laughs] Are you straight edge? How do you feel about the whole club kid, Limelight culture in the 90's with James St. James and Michael Allig? You have a fabulous look where you almost look like a club kid, but it seems like you would rather be at, like, an AFI show than at a club. Are you friendly with James st James at all? I know he lives in Hollywood.
Jeffree: I never call myself "straight edge" but I never really got into drinking or drugs. I'd rather starve myself and put on lip gloss than get pseudo-fucked up with everyone else when I never cared in the first place. And in the 90's, I was listening to the Spice Girls and going to high school in Orange Country...I had no idea who any of those idiots were and I hardly understand them now. James is funny, he's 50+ and still taking tons of drugs to try and stick with this label that everyone gave him. Not for me...I'm only 20 so that whole club kid era was never in my world until I saw the movie...and it's true, I'd rather go see live music than be in a club because I've
already done it all...it gets boring and I need more entertainment than sweaty people touching me and bad music hurting my ears.
Joanna: Ok, so no drugs...I have to ask then: what do you eat? You are so skinny!
Jeffree: Ice cream, cupcakes, Pinkberrry, grilled cheese sandwiches and cock. The funny thing is, I'm not kidding. I have the worst diet on earth. I'm addicted to sugar and I eat desserts all day long...real food doesn't taste good. I'll probably die soon of malnutrition.
Joanna: Ugh, I'm jealous! I wish I could eat cheese sandwiches every day. You'll probably actually live longer due to some strange nutrient in cupcake frosting they haven't discovered yet or something like that [Pause]...SO, sexually, do like women at all? Or just men?
Jeffree: Every girl dreams of me inside of them, but I'm only into MEN. And I do mean men, not guys that wear a lot of makeup. Most of my fans are girls, which age between 12 and 18. Some people might find that hard to believe but my audience is only 25% gay...and the rest are girls who love me. Straight guys are basically the only type of men I get with. Keep the girlfriends at home, because tonight it's time to try something new. Guys need to experience something other than girls, because that can get boring...so I'm the alternative. I don't look like one of the "guys"...and I'm a whole different kind of beauty and guys can't get enough of it.
Joanna: Have you ever turned any straight guys gay, or been a guy's "first time"?
Jeffree: I've been a lot of guys' "first times" and they always come back for me...
Joanna: What about women - have you ever been with a woman? Do you want to be?
Jeffree: Women are fun to have as friends so I can give them makeovers and steal their husbands, but I'm not into being with them sexually. But I do have threesomes with girls involved. It's usually: ?Jeffree suck the dick and I'll sit on his face.?
Joanna: Ohhhh that sounds hot. I've always wanted to have a threesome like that but I've never found a guy that I was into that wanted to do that. For girls it's a given, we all explore our inherent lesbianism at some point or another... but straight guys... for the most part... really don't experiment. Blah blah blah... so anyways... do you watch porn?
Jeffree: Of course I do! That's like asking, "Do you wear makeup?" I even watch straight porn if I can fast-forward to the blow jobs. Sometimes I wish I could trade places with the girl in the film so I could do it better.
Joanna: Are you happy that your music is in my porn, Porny Monster? I purposefully put your music in a scene with a girl with pink hair because I thought it was appropriate.
Jeffree: Yes, I am very happy! As happy as I can be without smiling because I got botox and I look a little emotionless this week. The fact that there's sex going on with my music in the background is EXACTLY what should be happening. I can't wait to see it.
Joanna: And what kind of music do you listen to?
Jeffree: Everything. It depends on what kind of mood I'm in...I really love hip hop and dance music so I'm always listening to Three 6 Mafia and Kylie.
Joanna: And what about your music - here's your plug - when did your album come out? What's it called? Why do you think someone should buy it? [Laughs]
Jeffree: March13th my first EP came out, it's called Plastic Surgery Slumber Party. Everyone needs to hear it because it's something fun and new that I'm bringing in this boring music industry. Every band looks the same, sounds the same...says the same shit and has the same hair cut. It's getting really old, don't you think? I have 50-year-old mothers coming to my shows with their daughters and singing along to my song "We Want Cunt"...it's pretty amazing.
Joanna: What's next for your singing career? Are you going to go on tour and continue to write new songs? Do you want to play punk/hardcore shows, or do you want to play at clubs with DJ's and stuff?
Jeffree: Right now I'm playing shows and going to places that I haven't been yet. It's time for the world to see me up close and personal. As I'm in between tours and shows, I'll be writing new songs for my first full-length - all 12 inches - CD, so I'm excited to make new music. And I want to play all types of shows. I love when I play a hardcore/metal type venue and sell it out and have more people there than they've ever seen..it proves everything I say about myself.
Joanna: Ok, Jeffree. Thanks so much for the interview! I love you! Any last words, for the people on BurningAngel who took a break from jerking off to dirty movies to read this interview?
Jeffree: If you have a large penis and need it deep-throated, please visit my website and send me pictures of your dick, your location and I'll see you soon. My Hello Kitty vibrator needs to be shoved in someone's ass ASAP so I'll be waiting. P.S. I love BurningAngel almost as much as I love myself.
