- but yeah, Sometimes I wing it, I judge the crowds

reactions, and what people want, I see where I'm at,

and just go all out from there. I'm always looking in

the mirror and practicing my shit so I'm pretty comfor-

-table, and confident in what I'm going to do, of course

I add my own tweaks to each show. Alcohol, and the

various drugs help too. I get all wyled up and let out all

this energy I have, and once the crowd has energy, I

try and match that, ya know?

RUE- You have all these personas, from Hippy Blaine,

to Blaine bitches, and I'd like to say Wild Voodoo Child

even, are these voices in your head trying to grasp

reality.. or?

HIPPY- The way it started was that I wanted to become

an artist professionally. I knew there was normal me,

and then there was stage me, where I get wild and do

my art. I knew I had to seperate them so I can stay sane.

So I started giving them each certain attributes, I

started building these personas to people, and there

was like this split in my brain that I created. Some

days I wake up feeling like a totally different being.

RUE- So what can we expect from you this year?

HIPPY- Basically the big plan is to move to Atlanta, and

start a new chapter once I get there. I'll be making new

music, meaning I'll also be making new videos, I'll be

performing shows at new venues, I'm also doing my

first tour this year beginning in April, but I can't release

all the details.
