Allure Quotables

“If [Shopaholic] is a hit, it was Isla Fisher in the movie, “And if it doesn’t work out, it was Amy Adams.

“I was so disillusioned by the rejection of being an actress in L.A., and Sacha said, ‘What are you doing? You are the funniest woman I know. You have to do comedy,’ It had never crossed my mind—even though, when I flick through photo albums, I am always the one humping the table or wearing a silly mustache.”

“I attribute my ability to tap into my inner idiot to having to be such a gypsy and to adapt to new environments and new people at school, You can make friends quickly if you’re willing to take the piss out of yourself.”

On the soap, Paradise Beach
“I wore a bikini everywhere, To a funeral you would wear a bikini. I wore a bikini to a restaurant and had a meal in a bikini once. It was ridiculous.”

Allure & GQ – February 2009

Boys and Girls, we are being spoiled! As mentioned in some posts back, Isla is on the cover of Allure, now we have a preview of the amazing cover shot! Allure‘s shoots are always some of my favorites so I can’t wait to see the extra inside pics.

Secondly, the future Mrs. Sacha Baren Cohen is featured in GQ for February as well. And wow, wow, wow! The photo shoot is so sexy and fun! I totally love it. Scans of both mags coming up when they are available for me. You can already read the GQ article in the press section.

While Fisher is clearly one of the funniest redheads in Hollywood, she won’t even entertain the idea that she could ever outwit her famous fiancé. “He’s always funnier than me,” she insists. She’s also not one to share much of their life together. The world has already made too much of her conversion to Judaism for marriage. “The entire story is ridiculous,” she says. “I converted three years ago.” I confess that I’m married to a Jew but haven’t converted. “I’m willing to do a circumcision here,” she says. “Get me a sharp knife and some ice and you won’t even feel it.”

Magazine Alerts

Big yay! Isla is on even more magazine covers! Thanks to Kyleigh and Christi for the information. Scans will be added when the magazines are available to me. If you know of more magazines, please let me know!
