Space cadets Charlene Boyd and Christina Lang traverse the boundaries of time and space to meet up with their bulbous boyfriend during River Days in Hart Plaza.
What brings you intergalactic beauties to Detroit’s own Hart Plaza?
Charlene Boyd: We’re chilling with our boyfriend, Yivo, and promoting his new movie, Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs.Christina Lang: He’s a total love machine.
Yivo has a ridiculous amount of arms, and this would lead me to believe that he’s a controlling guy.
CB: He’s a good boyfriend …
CL: But it totally depends on his mood.
CB: He does have a lot of girlfriends though, so I don’t really like that.
Sounds like a supernova lover in a galaxy full of lame ducks.
CL: He’s got horns everywhere and you’ve got to know how to handle ‘em.
Plus the obvious advantage of anti-gravity.
CB: You can do all kinds of stuff — on the wall, on the ceiling, everywhere.
If Yivo were not your boyfriend, what kind of spaceman would you be looking for? Perhaps a short, pasty writer from Earth?
CB: I don’t want someone with more limbs than him because that’s just crazy. I want him to be nice and kind and only have one girlfriend — me.
CL: I’m down for the three-legged, four-eyed guy who can keep all those eyes trained on me.
When Americans go over to Europe, all the Europeans make sly comments about our culture and lifestyles. What is the general opinion of Americans among the aliens where you come from?
CB: Too violent.
CL: Fat and sloppy. In space, we have all these machines that keep us in good shape. You Earthlings obviously don’t use those down here.
Are your space outfits fashion or function?
CL: No lasers can penetrate these suits, so it’s a little bit of both.
Before you two blast off into the stars, let’s hear your last words.
CB: Keep your hands off my Yivo!
CL: Once you go Yivo, you never go back. | RDW
