What Squishy Did Next
By Wash West
(written for the unpublished Fake magazine; Spring 1998)

Delinquent debutante, Porn Fabulon, and Travel Agent, Squishy McClennen is a walking uniqueness. She didn't get abducted by aliens, she abducted them. She gives make-up tips to La Chitchelena, tours of Bourbon Street Flesh Bars to Jim Jarmusch, and impotency pep-talks to Nicolas Cage. Her now legendary self-help video "Squishy Does Porno" sold millions of copies worldwide. It has been described by Indie Glam-miester Todd Haynes as "a lush explosion of radical sex and cinema," and was said to inspire Pamela Anderson Lee's recent video "The Honeymoon."

So who is Squishy? Siren? Sequinn? Starlet? Vixon? Venusian? Valentine? The Uncarved Block? She's been called them all -- she is them all! And more! She's been known to turn gay men straight (temporarily), girls into vampires on a whim, and in 1995 spawned the local-yet-significant teenage dance craze "the Squishy".

When I first met Squishy she was channelling Zita (or was it Nita?) and would only speak in Hungarian. We became firm friends. Later on, I had the good fortune to capture a fraction of her charisma on celluloid (in the above mentioned video) and as a result, catapulted myself into the netherworld of Los Angeles porn micro-celebrity. In the meantime, I heard rumours Squishy had been experimenting with childbirth and phonesex. I tracked her down to ****** ******* where she's working undercover as Stacia the global sales agent and was able to secure this exclusive interview.

WW: What is your favorite color?
SQ: Hmmm. I know I have a favorite color but I can't remember what it is.
WW: What is your favorite animal?
SQ: That one with big round huge yellow eyes.
WW: Do you miss your fangs?
SQ: No.
WW: Not even if you could have them back for one day?
SQ: It's no fun having fangs for one day.
WW: What does Squishy do next?
SQ: Travel the world and after that, several things.
