Naturally since I'm writing the lyrics they are coming from a female perspective. I'm writing about things I see and feel- some have a more serious slant and some are more silly, and then some fall into the universal themes of love, loss of nievite, and personal pandemonium. Throw in a tongue-in-cheek look at feminine hygiene products and you've found the FBI. These are the roots of FBI content: songs such as "Jelly Belly", about the abortion pill, and "The Padded Brazier" which is a ranted rap in the style of a political speech humoring the national obsession with the breast. This is just something that occurred to me when I was in the lingerie department one day. Have you noticed how much more "padded" braziers are available than they were five years ago? Everywhere you look it's padded padded padded! You may be thinking, oh my God, is this feminism? Nah. We're surrounded by these things everyday, thoughts and braziers, it's just a question of what you want to investigate.

But is a diva a feminist?

Anyone who is conscious of sexism taking place or who thinks things need to change could be called a feminist but in the mainstream these terms like feminism and post-femme are so loaded with almost militaristic connotations that people are afraid to be associated with any kind of label. To me it's not so important to be categorized but rather that I enjoy expressing myself and seeing that people respond to it.

Because she mixed that musical drink, does that make her ambitious?

I rarely consciously consider myself to be ambitious and I don't always consciously think about being a woman. Ambition is all relative. I suppose sometimes I think I am, and other times I think not at all. There are doors which open easily and others with fifty billion dollar locks all over them waiting to be artfully picked in time. I try to be open to the right opportunities flying through my window.

A day in the life of Sasha and Semiotics of the Dirty Mind:

Today I was working in a "theraputic community" which is a rehabilitation center for homeless men with addictions. I am teaching how to use the video camera and to shoot videos which sometimes are funny skits and sometimes are deep thoughts of self examination which can become a form of video therapy. It was one of those days when someone said something about this fucking thing or that fucking thing and the response was "shsh- there's a lady present" that prompted me to write the song "Semiotics of the Dirty Mind". If someone is going to swear why should it make a difference whether it's in front of a man or a woman? By appropriating dirty words and putting them in a different context I attempt to deconstruct the meaning so the associations are not so negative. These words are not going to go away. They just need to be redefined.
