Remember the hot butch in the Ray Bans who made out with Gaga in the prison yard scene of the epic Telephone music video? Turns out she's a personal trainer named Heather Cassils. In a great interview for out.com, Cassils discusses depictions of queer women in pop culture, performance art, and the experience of sniffing at Gaga's cigarette glasses. Here's a clip:
I've been in shoots before, and I've worked with other artists, and there's this thing where they try to femme anybody up -- especially when it's mainstream media. And there's this expectation that you're either going to fit on one end of the spectrum or the other, so I really appreciated that I literally showed up on set and was allowed to go just as I am. My body is a complete construction.
