The lovely Isla Fisher covers the spring issue of Gotham magazine to promote her (thankless) role of Myrtle Wilson in The Great Gatsby. I don’t expect this post to gather much interest like most posts on parenthood simply because poor Isla has fallen by the wayside in Hollywood. She was really cute and funny in Wedding Crashers several years ago, but then she signed up for some terrible flops like Confessions of a Shopaholic and settled into voice work while also taking some time off to raise her two children with husband Sacha Baron Cohen. I get the feeling that a lot of people confused Isla with Amy Adams for awhile, but Amy’s career has really taken off in the past handful of years while Isla’s has languished somewhat. Now Isla returns in Gatsby, and she’s also appearing later this year alongside Morgan Freeman and Woody Harrelson in Now You See Me. OH, and she’s also in post-production on an untitled Elmore Leonard project in the role of Melanie Ralston, who was played in Jackie Brown by Bridget Fonda (who herself has pulled a decade-long disappearing act). Weird.
In this Gotham shoot, Isla is styled right out of the Jazz Age with a fringy, flapper-esque dress and a couple of floaty, ethereal gowns. She looks entirely gorgeous, and the interview is slightly eventful as well as she admits to being completely overwhelmed by the experience of filming Gatsby alongside Baz Luhrmann and actors like Leo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan. Isla also discusses the extended break she took from Hollywood to have two daughters and stay at home with them during their respective infancies. Like Drew Barrymore’s recent declaration that you can’t have it all in terms of maintaining both career and motherhood, Isla expresses her belief that you shouldn’t even want to have it all. Here are some excerpts:
Working on The Great Gatsby: “It was thrilling and terrifying. Given the caliber of the director and cast on Gatsby, I definitely felt out of my comfort zone. I did feel like I was going to be called out and sent home at some point–you always feel very insecure, at least I do. The set was like a playground of rich costumes (his wife Catherine Martin does them) and color and music and laughter. Everybody cares on a Baz Luhrmann film set because everyone is so effing grateful to be there.”
Will she ever collaborate with hubby Sacha Baron Cohen? “Personally, I think we collaborate on enough behind closed doors. We’re working on some really important collaborations, and I think that?s more important. Obviously, I’m a big fan of his. My favorite movie will always be Bruno, and my favorite line will always be when he looks up at the sky and goes, ‘So many stars in the sky. Makes you think of all the hot guys in the world.’ So freaking random and funny.”
On balancing work & motherhood: “I took three years off. It’s not like you’re taking a break and looking on IMDbPro to see your StarMeter falling. You’re doing the most important, incredible thing. When you come back in, the perspective has changed. I truly believe you can’t have it all and you shouldn’t want to.”

Hmm. I certainly don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting to have it all because I think most women do. I think most of us would love to find enough hours in the day to make a ton of money while still managing to be the perfectly attentive mother as well, but that’s just not possible. Something always has to give even if it’s just a matter of a few hours of sleep. Even Ivanka Trump, who is on the extreme end of working motherhood with her 16-hour work days, doesn’t really have it all, but she has enough of what she wants to make it work for her.
More and more these days, it sucks to realize that women will always be judged for their respective choices in the working motherhood discussion. It seems that you can either have an amazing career and miss some of your kid’s milestone moments, or you can be a stay-at-home mom and sacrifice financial stability and a retirement fund. It’s a tough choice for sure, and there’s some middle ground there but not much to be found. Of course, men are rarely faced with the same choice, but that won’t be changing anytime soon.

So the world premiere of Les Miserables happened the other night, and while that isn’t exactly earth-shattering exciting news to anyone with a set of testicles, it also meant hot celebrities and cleavage. So I guess there was something for everyone after all. Here’s Isla Fisher as a nice warmup, I haven’t had her on

Isla Fisher covers the newWomen’s Health and she looks fantastic and gives even better interviews.
From her secret to post-pregnancy weight lost, “I do watch my food. But I?ve been blessed in that I never had any body issues during pregnancy. I loved being able to eat whatever I wanted and the whole experience of giving life. And I never worried about losing the weight afterwards, becausebreastfeedingburns all the calories up so fast.Breastfeeding? that?s my big slimming secret! That and Spanx. Anytime anyone compliments me on my figure, I?m wearing my Spanx undies.”
To her friends secretly thinking she’s a cokehead,”I had to ask my friends, ?What?s cocaine like?? And they all thought I was on it already because I talk so much and am so hyperactive!” (Way to out your friends on that one.)
To not giving her vagina spa treatments which she calls “vajacials,” “I?m not actually very good at the maintenance thing. I don?t buff, exfoliate, pluck, rinse, moisturise, suck, bleach?whatever all those women do. I don?t have vajacials. Have you heard of those? It?s like a spa for your vagina!”
That last quote sort of gave a pause for concern. She makes it sound like she takes the man approach to cleanliness which is to only take care of something when it starts smelling funky. It’s probably not true though. Hopefully it’s not true. Oh god, please be not true.

Isla Fisher covers the new issue of Women?s Health magazine ? probably a holdover interview from when The Great Gatsby was supposed to be released during the holidays (it?s since been pushed back). My feelings towards Isla? well, I?m not one of her fan-girls, but I don?t actively dislike her or anything. She looks a lot like Amy Adams, and I think Amy is way more talented, but Isla seems like she carved out a nice little career for herself too. What I didn?t realize was that Isla is actually a pretty good interview. Usually, she barely speaks to the press about anything personal (she and Sacha Baron Cohen are notoriously private), but this interview is really good. Isla mentions a term that I?ve never heard before ? ?vajacials?. As in, facials for your vadge. We?ll discuss that below, and here are some highlights from the interview:
Isla on converting to Judaism before her 2010 marriage to Sacha Baron Cohen: ‘It takes a couple of years of studying. I’ve always been really into family and food, so culturally it was the right fit for me.’
Her early career: ‘After doing that [Wedding Crashers], I had 12 months where I was auditioning three times a day and I didn?t get a single job. That was a real low point. But with hindsight, those movies turned out to be awful, so I dodged a bullet. If I?d got any of them, I wouldn?t be where I am today. I never had the chutzpah to just come to LA and make it. I didn?t have that confidence. I?m always surprised when I get a job. I never saw this in my horizon.’
On body image, weight and pregnancy: ‘I do watch my food. But I?ve been blessed in that I never had any body issues during pregnancy. I loved being able to eat whatever I wanted and the whole experience of giving life. And I never worried about losing the weight afterwards, because breastfeeding burns all the calories up so fast. Breastfeeding ? that?s my big slimming secret! That and Spanx. Anytime anyone compliments me on my figure, I?m wearing my Spanx undies.’
Vajacials!!! ‘I?m not actually very good at the maintenance thing. I don?t buff, exfoliate, pluck, rinse, moisturise, suck, bleach?whatever all those women do. I don?t have vajacials. Have you heard of those? It?s like a spa for your vagina!’
Playing a cokehead in The Bachelorette: ?I had to ask my friends, ?What?s cocaine like?? And they all thought I was on it already because I talk so much and am so hyperactive!?
Being an Aussie in LA: ‘We can all do the accent really easily. And we all look great in a bikini. Including Russell Crowe ? no one pulls off a bikini like Russell. I am sort of friends with them all. I just did a movie with Hugh Jackman [Rise Of The Guardians], and I catch up with Naomi [Watts] whenever I?m in New York.?
On Johnny Depp: ‘He?s like a magical creature ? incredibly funny, clever and nice. It?s sort of as if he?s come from another planet.?
[From The Mail]
This idea of a ?vajacial? is so interesting. Obviously, it would not include exfoliating, right? Gross. But maybe a mud treatment for your biscuit? Some pampering? I?m intrigued. I wonder if my biscuit would like her own spa treatment. I?ve been thinking about getting her a vibrator, actually. She?s asked for one for Christmas. Maybe I?ll also get her a gift certificate for a vajacial! Shhh? don?t tell her.
