Jonny Make-Up X Wee Ginger Cunt: The Fuckin' Interview

"QUIT DROOLING, VOTE FOR ME"-Jonny Make-Up

It's Sunday and today’s the day that I’m to interview Jonny make-Up, homo star of stage and screen. I’m eager as Jonny's beaver to talk about Banks Band Break-Ups, upcoming singles with T.L.C mega-producer Dallas Austin and the rumors that he’s a pussy loving queer-not.



I’m on my way to pick Jonny up from Dov’s Silverlake mansion in the sky.

Jonny floats down the stairs as I notice a large Shepard-type canine “must be a new addition”, I think of the guard dog.
Jenny “Miami” Moyal accompanies Jonny. It’s a hilltop reunion and we all kiss our respective hellos and good byes.

“Hey can we start the interview process at the Mexican barbershop?” Jonny asks politely, which for Jonny make-Up can sound like down right pleading. “Of course we can, Jonny.”

At the International Beauty salon on Echo Park Blvd Jonny sits down in the barber chair surrounded by myself, Stephanie in the role of Cunt photographer and Make-Up’s fill-in stylist for the day, Rosario. He’s a star and everyone in the spot knows it.



Wee Ginger Cunt: How do like to get your fade did? (I ask pointing to the standard “boy’s haircut” poster displayed on the wall.)
Jonny Make-Up: In between #25 and 26. It’s a bowl cut but foofed to the side. I usually work with Nelly. Nelly’s not here so Rosario is taking care of me today. When Nelly gets back she’s gonna finger wave it. It’s gonna be my Spring/Summer ’09 look.

WGC: There’s a pretty big rumor circulating the factory and elsewhere that you’re not gay.
Jonny: Everyone always says that; that it’s just an act and I really like girls. I don’t understand it
WGC: I don’t understand either.
Jonny: I mean I get to hang out with a lot of beautiful women and models and stuff but I like boys and I always have.
WGC: Tory told me that he tried to kiss you and you shied away.
Jonny: I’m very like that. Once you give me a little of what I want I shy away
WGC: Even Tory, he’s a pretty hot dude?
Jonny: I know, even from Tory




WGC: Who do you hate more the kids from Gravy Train or Cazwell.
Jonny: Well I’m kinda pissed off at Cazwell right now. He always asks me to come to New York to perform with him. When he played at my friend Jaime’s gig he didn’t even ask me to come so I’m a little pissed off at him right now.
WGC: He probably just forgot.
Jonny: How could you forget about me when you’re singing a song that I’m singing on? He just let the hook play!




WGC: Why do people say that things are the new black?
Jonny: I don’t know, someone told me that I was the new black.

WGC: How the fuck did you get involved with Dallas Austin?
Jonny: Well, I’ve been working with this dude Cory Enemy, who is an amazing producer. He worked on a Miss Shapes remix of [a song by] my old band V.I.P Party Boys. This label signed us but we were dropped by the end of our first European tour because of the drug use of my band mates.
Wee Ginger Cunt: You don’t drink, you don’t do drugs, I think Tyra should send you to rehab for being a pussy.
Jonny: NO! I’m not a pussy. I wish you could have met me when I was bangin’ the H and bangin’ the K. Anyways, The re-mix never really went anywhere and I kept telling Cory how bad I wanted to go solo. I started to work with Cory on my first single Blacklisted and right after that he got a big production deal with Dallas Austin and moved to Atlanta. I thought I would never, ever, ever, be able to work with him again, but then Cory introduced me to Dallas and I guess we kinda hit it off. I gave him the charm. He pinky promised me that I could come and work with him and Cory in the studio in Atlanta.

WGC: That must have been exciting.
Jonny: Yeah, He was like “come to the ATL and work on your album, don’t be scurred.”
When I flew out there I had to hold back tears so many times when I saw the T.L.C. platinum record and the Madonna platinum record and the Pink platinum record I’m like, “OMFG, I’m here”
WGC: I think you’re way better than Pink.
Jonny: (laughs) Thank You





WGC: So, When can we expect this new single?
Jonny: The single’s coming out by mid January on Viva Radio dot com.
WGC: That sounds kind of wishy washy, can we just say January 15th?
Jonny: Yeah, let’s say January 15th
