| Jane Magazine, 2003 October issue: (excerpt from article) "How many times do I have to kiss a woman before I'm gay?" Lucy has always been into visual arts-she's had gallery shows on boath coasts featuring her multimedia collages. So the first thing she did when she moved into her Michigan dorm room was decorate her walls with pictures, including photos of nude chicks. "They were mainly magazine ads, like pictures of clothes and quotes or a Calvin Klein Obsession ad", Lucy recalls. "But Michigan wasn't that cosmopolitan. So my friends would come into my room and look at my wall in shock. I'm like, 'What? Just because there are naked women on the wall doesn't mean I'm a lesbian.'" Then she kind of does that Seinfeld "not that there's anything wrong with that" thing while cranking the interview up a notch; "But I don't have any-I think people sometimes get the wrong impression when they're like, 'Oh, well, so-and-so was straight and then she was gay, and now she's straight again,' you know? But it's like, how many times do I have to kiss a woman before I'm gay? Everybody wants to label people. Sometimes you just fall in love with somebody, and you're really not thinking about what gender or whatever they happen to be. I think that if I happen to fall in love with a woman, everyone's going to make a big deal out of it. But if I happen to fall in love with a man, nobody cares." I ask Lucy if it was weird to kiss scrawny Calista. "Strangely enough, it wasn't," she answers, laughing. "For me it felt really familiar. It was just very sensual, but not sexual. There's a difference between the two. When something is sexual, you feel it deep down. And if it's sensual, you let it sort of pour over you. Anyway." Had you ever kissed a girl before that? "Yes." | ||
