PAMELA PAIGE | MODEL, CREATOR
PP: Yes, growing up on a ranch in Texas allowed me to be a free thinker. My closest neighbor lived miles away. So, I had no friends at my discretion to play with and had to learn how to entertain myself. I become my own best friend. Therefore, my innovative mind set out to roam the unexplored. CD: Your multimedia project Cracked Out Super Heroes (COSH for short) seems at first glance to be a superhero satire but it delves into some very real environmental concerns. Why use a superhero comic and film to address environmental issues? PP: I use Superheroes to deal with environmental issues because it’s fresh. The sexual undertone gets the right generation’s attention. What is the right generation? The generation who finally gets it right … right? In the theme song I wrote the lyrics directly toward normal people who haven’t got it right. Normalcy is Whack Just look at that Mother Earth you Quacks Whack that Quack, Whack that Quack (Translation: normal people are whack because look what they have done to mother earth. So maybe the Cracked Out Super Heroes should whack the normal quacks. CD: In addition to writing the comic book, you play the lead character Lactate Girl in the movie-can you tell us a little about her? PP: Lactate Girl is my alter-ego. I incorporated her into the alternative comic novel. It just made sense to me. Lactate Girl’s back story in Cracked Out Super Heroes: as a young super hero growing up she spent her days sucking sap from the trees. In return she would bless the
mainland with her luscious vitamin d breast milk causing the grass to grow greener and the eco system to grow stronger. As she became older, she now has no more trees to suck. She has looked toward society and picked up another addiction to help her cope with society diminishing environmental resources and adapted one of society’s addictions; alcoholism. CD: All the COSH heroes and villains are very adult themed and….ah…a little naughty. Why take the superhero genre in such a sexually charged direction? PP: LOL, to say the least … they are naughty. They are built like this because society made them this way. Our addictions, such as steroids have created The French Ticker. Lactate Girl is associated with alcoholism and Terry the terrorist is addicted to crystal meth. CD: Besides Lactate Girl, are there any other super heroines you would like to play on film or television? PP: I would love to play the marvelous Miss America. It’s a perfect time for this character to come back. Being able to levitate, fly and looking that way … I want the job! CD: Troma’s front man Lloyd Kaufman has a cameo in the COSH film-what was it like directing an icon of Indie B cinema? PP: Lloyd Kaufman is the best representation of an Independent Film Maker. He is a pleasure to work with and gives out endless possibilities to those who deserve the chance. Yet, directing Lloyd? Lloyd is a creative mastermind. Having him on my set was one of the best feelings I have ever experienced. There’s one particular moment that always makes me laugh. During one of the takes he refers to Lactate Girl as Lactose Girl. That would be very upsetting if she was allergic to milk. CD: Speaking of Troma, you occasionally work in their New York office- any thing strange ever happen there? PP: The strangest moment was hearing that Troma was moving out of Hells Kitchen to Long Island City. I had the opportunity to pose with Lloyd Kaufman in front of The Troma Building the day they shut their doors off 9th Avenue for the New York Post. CD: When we were filming Top Twenty I learned that like me you have a rather large crush on Lex Luthor. I get a lot of flack about my lust for Luthor so could you help me out and explain to our online readers what it is about Lex that is so damn sexy? PP: Lex is a mastermind, rich, bold and brilliant! Nothing else to me could be better. He just wants to get Superman out of the way so he can get the attention that he deserves.
