THE CITIZEN INDEX

The party's on and ISQUISOFRENIA rocks!

Have you ever met someone who is nothing like you, but the two of you get on famously? A person who seems your complete opposite but you suspect would be the best drinking buddy on a Friday night, dressed up for nowhere, & just kicking it?  THAT's how I feel about the blogger at Isquisofrenia.  We are very different in temperment and style,  but I LOVE this girl's spirit and style so much, and every one of her outfit posts. Isquisofrenia rocks! She looks part sunset, part whiskey and pure rock-n-roll. 

Case in point:


I mean this chica just looks like fun. I can totally imagine drinking a few brews with her and shooting the shit, on a late Sactown summer night on the porch. Mind you I don't have a porch.  And she doesn't live in Sactown. So I decided to interview her.

CITIZEN ROSEBUD: You've got great style, and you're petite, a little over 5'2" right? Does that affect your style, and how you dress?
 ISQUSOFRENIA: First of all, thank-you for featuring me on your blog!!! I am five feet two inches, and I hate it, to be honest. But, sometimes, it has its advantages. For example a cute tunic can be worn as a dress for me, and that works just fine. I don't think being short affects my style at all. 

 "Isquisofrenia rocks! She looks part sunset, part whiskey & pure rock-n-roll."
CITIZEN ROSEBUD: Ok, where exactly are you? I mean, where do you live? I know you're a fellow Californian, but are you Nor-cal, or So-cal? I'm hoping Nor-Cal, but you're cool, if you're from So-cal, you're still all right by me.
ISQUISOFRENIA: Ha-ha-ha-ha! I live in Southern California. Let's just say I'm 45 minutes away from Los Angeles.  Originally, I'm from South America.
CITIZEN ROSEBUD: What got you blogging? And when did you start blogging?
 ISQUESOFRENIA: At first I wanted to sell my clothes online and then I started seeing really cool girls wearing awesome outfits and then I was like wait maybe I can do the same hahha, so I decided to have my own blog too. I started blogging in Jan 2009.
CITIZEN ROSEBUD: What do you do for fun?
ISQUISOFRENIA: For fun I go to bars, amusement parks, hang out with friends, go to shows & check out bands; that's MY kind of fun.  I really enjoy going to see bands play in small venues. It’s better that way I think, and I drink wine at home for fun too.

CITIZEN ROSEBUD: When I see your outfit posts, I think "rock-n-roll." Does rock music or music in general have an influence of how you dress? 
ISQUISOFRENIA: Yes, I think it does. I know I don’t wear a lot of pants but I love how Iggy Pop just wears those damn tight ass pants with leather jackets, no shirt hahhah and sometimes just listening to rock& roll makes me dress that way I do. I listen to music all the time, especially when I’m getting dressed.
 

CITIZEN ROSEBUD: Pants or skirts?
ISQUISOFRENIA: Cutoffs shorts=)
CITIZEN ROSEBUD:  Heels or flats?
ISQUISOFRENIA: Chunky heels so maybe heels then?

 CITIZEN ROSEBUD:  Thrift stores or vintage shops?
MORE:
ISQUISOFRENIA: Well, the tricky part is that vintage shops have such an amazing things but it can be very expensive sometimes, Thrift stores are just affordable. 
CITIZEN ROSEBUD: Coffee or tea? Beer or wine?
 ISQUISOFRENIA: I hate coffee,  so it would be tea.
I like beer (Sierra Nevada )and  wine (Pinot Noir) so both.
CITIZEN ROSEBUD: You always talk about maybe going to a movie in your blog. Tell me, what kind of movies do you like to go see? Are you a movie fan? Any genre in particular?
ISQUISOFRENIA: I LOVE scary movies, I’m not talking about stupid ones like Scary Movie, I'm talking about the really scary ones, horror, thriller, you name it.  And I love movies from the '70s, those are the best.  Those girls are always so beautiful in those kind of flicks!
CITIZEN ROSEBUD:What does your blog name mean? How did you come to naming it "Isquisofrenia"?
ISQUISOFRENIA: It means nothing, just rhymes with schizophrenia, hahha.


CITIZEN ROSEBUD:  List some bands you love. What songs/bands would exemplify your style?
ISQUISOFRENIA: David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Frank Zappa, Wilco, Strange Boys, the Velvet Underground...there's  more, but I can't think of them all right now. Rock-n-roll, punk, garage: whatever you want to call it.
CITIZEN ROSEBUD: Tell me a fun thing to do in your hometown & some of your favorite places to shop.
ISQUISOFRENIA: There’s nothing fun about it, it sucks, hahha but I do enjoy my thrift stores obviously.
CITIZEN ROSEBUD:If you could visit any place in the world for a summer, where would you go?
ISQUISOFRENIA: New Orleans because It makes me think about voodoo dolls, cemeteries, bars, cool people to hang with.

CITIZEN ROSEBUD: In a "perfect world" what WOULD you be doing?  
ISQUISOFRENIA: Having my own vintage shop and be in a band!
