Amber Heard: Pretty Girl Makes Good
By Rob Brink
Missbehave March 2008
Actress Amber Heard is hot. She's also agnostic, fascinated by the death penalty, equally into bowling and libraries, and is going to be a star.
"I need to look at your wardrobe on Xanax," twitters 21-year-old actress Amber Heard as she approaches the stylist and his racks of clothes, before effusively hugging him. She eagerly fingers a bubblegum pink pair of patent leather shoes. "I love a man with a great pair of heels," she remarks and moves on to ogle other fineries. Heard has bed head, and from the looks of her, you'd swear it was about 8 AM on New Year's Day. But we're all smiling—about eight of us, as she grabs a coffee and perches on a stool. "I love my gays!" Heard squeals while gesturing to the room. She bobs her head in time to the tugs of one of the aforementioned homosexuals. He's pulling insistently on the matted knots while another commandeers her feet for a pedicure. Yet another grooms her brows and with every third pluck, her eyes spring tears but so goes the strife of a budding starlet.

Hey You're Cool!
Lizzy Caplan
By Rob Brink
Mass Appeal #49
Lizzy Caplan commutes 45 minutes daily in pajamas for her favorite morning coffee in hometown LA. She's quick-witted and clever, refreshingly bullshit-free. To the point where her making fun of you actually feels good. And, despite obvious cute-slash-hotness, the 25-year old is more modest than she needs to be.
Caplan never really harbored any secret desires to become an actress until she defaulted to drama when playing the piano at the Hamilton Academy of Music in Los Angeles got boring—then she "just went for it."
You might remember her as Janis from Mean Girls. You know, the gothy, atypically attractive chick with an influx of eye shadow? But that was eons and a short-lived TV sitcom ago. These days, Lizzy spends her time eluding the Hollywood scene and working with powerhouses like J. J. Abrams, Harrison Ford and Sean Penn, while firmly rooted in the denial that she will soon be sought after and posing for cell phone photos with fans.
RB: I just spent 18 hours Googling you and the only dirt I found was some paparazzi picture of you on a cell phone snarkily entitled, "Lizzy Caplan loves her cell phone!"
LC: I don't want to hear it! I'm actually really uncomfortable even knowing that you looked all that shit up.

Jena Malone...
And her Orgy of Talents
By Rob Brink
Missbehave January 2008
Much of what you've heard about Jena Malone is super five minutes ago. Yes, she was raised in and out of trailer parks by her mother and her mother's girlfriend. Yep, she then emancipated herself from moms and barely started high school before never going back. Sure, she was in the infamous Donnie Darko. Absolutely, she killed her role in Saved. And, she made out with Hayden Christensen onscreen in Life as a House and you didn't. Talking about all this old stuff is played.
Be up on the new shit, would ya? These days, Jena lives in Tahoe creating art, making music with her band, Jena Malone and Her bloodstains, and working with superDILFy Sean Penn. She's also recently discovered that being pretty doesn't mean people think you're boring, what being a woman actually means, and why being typecast as the weird cutter chick who lives in the bell jar is maybe the happiest thing in the world.

Amanda Blank: Philly rapper on the come up
By Rob Brink
Missbehave #4
I'd been harassing rapper Amanda Blank for days before I finally got her on the line. Having just engaged in some lazy Sunday afternoon "boo lovin,'" Blank, 24, was still lying in bed. Naked. Now, I'm all for professionalism and as this was our first time speaking, I was gentlemanly enough to only wait three minutes before engaging in important topics like fingerbanging, handjobs and boners.

Danny Supa
By Rob Brink
The Skateboard Mag, March 2007
Quiet, stylish, underrated, skating switch, lots of pop, New York City. These are all common words used over the years to describe Danny Supasirirat. But then, while pre interviewing some people, I got this:
"His tricks are best described as explosive...seriously. Each one is like watching a mini explosion. He puts his all into it.
-Kevin Imamura, Nike SB
"It's like a bomb goes off when he does his tricks."
-Chris Pastras
Two quotes about Danny Supa's skating, from two different talks and two different people who work very closely with Danny. Neither knew I was asking the other the same pre-interview questions. To get a reaction that specifically metaphorical from two entirely different individuals is quite remarkable. These comments go far beyond the generic and common "He's got a great style," type of thing. And it leads me to believe that Danny is a seriously well-defined, unique and talented professional skateboarder, who has left lasting and strong impressions on the people who know him. And that says a lot without saying a whole lot, which is the way Danny would probably prefer it.

After GVR, lots of Sole Technology's riders stuck around for a little meeting at the STI lab. Here's some mini ramp clips featuring Eric Fletcher, Conhuir Lynn and Andrew Reynolds, and a photo gallery from the afternoon. Speaking of GVR, I'm editing a ton of videos and photo right now. Stay tuned.

I'm a big fan of Michael Sieben. The dude writes good shit. Funny, honest, tellin' it like it is. You know, on the level. His Thrasher column is the best and the new Bueno 'zine is funny as hell, so I'm givin' credit where credit is due.
Dunno if anyone cares but I'm in the process of moving to a new place, switching servers for this site and etnies GvR and Damn Am have me slammed. Expect more Big Brother stuff and tons of video and new galleries from...

This interview I did with Beetlejuice for Stance magazine back in 2003 was one of the most amazing half hours of my life. Sorry the footage is so dark. Beetle kinda blends intot he background. I recorded this from a VHS tape that was a copy of a copy of a copy...Stay tuned for some pretty outrageous video from the photo shoot.

Here's the entire raw interview from my Heather Christensen Stance piece a few years back!
How long have you been skating?
About three years or so.
How did you get started in that?
Actually, my ex-boyfriend. His friends all skated, and I used to go with them to the skatepark in Cleveland every now and then, and I thought, “Ya know, I'm pretty athletic and I am not really scared of things. I should try this; it would give me something to do in the wintertime, because it is so cold." So I went to the skatepark everyday by myself. Sometimes I would go with them—I just kept skating and then one day I learned to drop in on this little mini ramp at Changa World and I got so excited that I just kept going, learning other little things.

Guidance Counselor: Liquid Todd
By Rob Brink
May 2002
Here's another one that was intended for Stance and never made it to the mag because it folded. The column was called Guidance Counselor and it showcased cool jobs that the audience might be interested in learning about. Although this piece was from May of 2002 and Solid State is no longer on the air, Liquid Todd is still working in NY and has a show on KTU and another on Sirius Satellite Radio.
