Lissy Trullie Takes Our Pop Quiz

Earlier this year, Elle magazine featured Lissy Trullie in a black-and-white (save for a shock of red hair) spread on punk couture. It's no surprise they would use her. With doe eyes, downtown rocker-chic style and legs that won't quit, the DJ/indie musician is admittedly easy on the eyes. But then, she opens her mouth and husky soul pours out – as well as swaggering personality. A regular DJ at the Beatrice Inn, the D.C. native began performing with her band a little over a year and a half ago, and with her music—retro, dancey, and definitively New York--she's been in high demand. Last week she played four CMJ gigs, including a packed BlackBook party at Le Royale, but she took some time out to opine in our internet questionnaire.

Actually yes, I have. What a fucking question…

What should we do with stupid people?
