POSSO and Partying with the Ghost of Sid Vicious
They can play the piano, write poetry, design clothes, and of course, DJ. The multi-talented Vanessa Giovacchini and Marylouise Pels of POSSO have not only graced the world’s largest festivals, but they have also designed accessories for the world’s premier celebrities, including Rihanna and Victoria Beckham. It’s no surprise, then, that they’ve DJed parties hosted by Fendi, Armani, MAC Cosmetics and more.
If you want to pick up on some of the girls’ creative juices, check out style.com for their weekly features (like this one, where they give the lowdown on being a female DJ), and the Insomniac Five below:
Describe your perfect date.
Jazz in a dark room. Foie gras. Bone marrow. Bone shakin’ on the dancefloor. Boners. Just kidding, that’s a later date…
Have you driven anyone insane?
Don’t we all drive someone insane at some point? But that’s what families are for, right?
What song lyric or movie line best describes your philosophy on life?
To us, Bob Dylan was the first rapper. His song “It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” is the first real punk rock-rap record. This song covers everything you need to know about how to be a badass in life. You can read all the lyrics here, and our favorite excerpt below:
Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fool’s gold mouthpiece
The hollow horn plays wasted words
Proved to warn
That he not busy being born
Is busy dying.
Have you ever had a brush with the paranormal or supernatural?
Yes we both have, multiple times.
Marylouise: I dated this dude in New York who lived in Sid Vicious’ old house in the West Village. In between waking up and falling back asleep in the morning when my boyfriend left to go on a run, there would be loud whispers in my ear, cabinets opening, lights turning on, etc. Communicating from other dimensions happens all the time; you just have to learn how to protect your aura from those dark spirits. Sid wanted to party all the time—I had to respectfully decline.
First album purchased with your own money?
Marylouise: Led Zeppelin’s Led Zeppelin IV.
Vanessa: Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon.
