<v Speaker 1>let's get to my beautiful guest. She started as a dancer,
<v Speaker 1>became a glamour model, shot for Playboy, and somewhere along
<v Speaker 1>the way a cop paid her to choke her out
<v Speaker 1>in a champagne room. But we'll get to that. Three
<v Speaker 1>years in, August Sky has an expos Award, a Popcorn
<v Speaker 1>Award for an indie web series, and a brand built
<v Speaker 1>around intimacy and high glamour content. But she's a lot
<v Speaker 1>more interested in talking about where the industry is going
<v Speaker 1>than where she's been. Let's welcome the one and only
<v Speaker 1>August Guy.
<v Speaker 3>Hello, Hello, Hi, having made of course, it's so nice
<v Speaker 3>to have you so August and I actually first met
<v Speaker 3>when I shot her for Twisties in a girl girl.
<v Speaker 1>Scene with neither of us can remember their name.
<v Speaker 2>I cannot, and that was like what that was like
<v Speaker 2>the first year.
<v Speaker 1>In Yeah, yeah, you were brand new, and I think
<v Speaker 1>I was about I was on my way out. I
<v Speaker 1>think that was like one of the last few months
<v Speaker 1>that I was directing and then I stopped.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, so yeah, that has been a good time though. Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So let's talk about your beginnings. You grew up
<v Speaker 1>in Colorado and came from a creative background art, fashion, performance,
<v Speaker 1>So how did you end up in adult entertainment?
<v Speaker 2>For me, it was like always like a curiosity that
<v Speaker 2>I've had, So I've always been in tune with like
<v Speaker 2>my sexuality. I know that kind of sounds weird. I've
<v Speaker 2>always been like explorative with it. So it kind of
<v Speaker 2>started off as like, you know, modeling, So I did
<v Speaker 2>like like I did like fashion modeling when I was
<v Speaker 2>like a lot more like you know, petite, and then
<v Speaker 2>like you know, you start to get a little older,
<v Speaker 2>you know, huberty hits, you turn like twenty two, twenty three,
<v Speaker 2>you can't really change that, and then I just then
<v Speaker 2>I got a casting call for Playboy, and then it
<v Speaker 2>just kind of went from there, and then I think
<v Speaker 2>things just kind of escalated. And then it was like
<v Speaker 2>right after COVID, I had this hinkering and I was like, oh,
<v Speaker 2>like I'm just want to I want to try this thing,
<v Speaker 2>probably like two years after COVID and I was like,
<v Speaker 2>I've always wanted to try doing adult films because it's
<v Speaker 2>always like I used to watch it when I was
<v Speaker 2>like younger, you know, like we all did, you know,
<v Speaker 2>I Little curiosity and porn and I was like, well,
<v Speaker 2>these girls look like they're enjoying themselves. They're like they're
<v Speaker 2>having a good time. And I was like, I'll try
<v Speaker 2>it at once. And I tell myself, if I try
<v Speaker 2>it and I don't like it, I'll never do it again. Pasha,
<v Speaker 2>you know, pretend like it never happened. But then I
<v Speaker 2>tried it and I loved it, and I stuck around.
<v Speaker 2>So now three years later, here we are.
<v Speaker 1>So what was the first scene that you did or
<v Speaker 1>the first experience that you had that that was such
<v Speaker 1>a positive experience.
<v Speaker 2>So my first scene was with net video girls. I
<v Speaker 2>don't know if they're still I've.
<v Speaker 1>Heard of them. They do a lot like new New,
<v Speaker 1>Like yeah, I think they're still around.
<v Speaker 2>And they still Okay, my first scene did go viral
<v Speaker 2>on porn hub, so that was like nice. But I
<v Speaker 2>think when I was on there, like it was like
<v Speaker 2>that heart like the heart palpitations. The adrenaline was like running,
<v Speaker 2>and I was like chatting with the makeup artist and
<v Speaker 2>she was like, Oh, you're gonna do well. You're gonna
<v Speaker 2>do fine, and then my scene partner. Everything just like
<v Speaker 2>went really well, and I just like, I really enjoyed it.
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed the process of it. I don't know, I
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed the cameras. I enjoyed the whole. It was just
<v Speaker 2>like a good situation. I don't know how to like
<v Speaker 2>how to explain. I was like, oh, this feels right.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't know. Maybe you went into it like nervous,
<v Speaker 1>but then like while you were doing it, it kind
<v Speaker 1>of felt more natural. Whereas you know, some people's first scene,
<v Speaker 1>even though they may have like quote unquote a good experience,
<v Speaker 1>they may you know, come out of it being like
<v Speaker 1>I I am not sure if this is my thing,
<v Speaker 1>And it sounds like you came out of it feeling
<v Speaker 1>like it was.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was like a guilty pleasure. Like I think
<v Speaker 2>it was like nervous, but it was more like adrenaline.
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I'm about to do this, I'm about
<v Speaker 2>to do this, and it was more of like that
<v Speaker 2>like back like the voice in the back of my
<v Speaker 2>head of like your family, your parents, wop are going
<v Speaker 2>to see this, like what happens, what happens? What happens?
<v Speaker 2>Like you're selfish for like doing this, but it's like
<v Speaker 2>you want to do this. I think it was more
<v Speaker 2>of like my subconscious of like the aftermath more so
<v Speaker 2>than me actually doing the thing. The stigma, yeah, the
<v Speaker 2>stigma behind it, right. But then I was like, well,
<v Speaker 2>I think the feeling was is like I feel guilty
<v Speaker 2>for actually enjoying myself, like having a positive experience. And
<v Speaker 2>I know, like not a there's people out there who
<v Speaker 2>haven't had like a positive experience, but like for me,
<v Speaker 2>I was like, this is something I want to do
<v Speaker 2>and I like it and I enjoyed it.
<v Speaker 1>So how was the aftermath? Like did you get a
<v Speaker 1>lot of blowback from family? Friends?
<v Speaker 2>So? Oddly enough? So I thought I was like, I
<v Speaker 2>was like one of those things was like you always
<v Speaker 2>think that you can keep it a secret.
<v Speaker 1>I can't tell you how he does. I heard that, Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>we all.
<v Speaker 2>Think like, oh my goodness, they'll never know my siblings.
<v Speaker 2>They were like okay, whatever, fine that we we don't care,
<v Speaker 2>you know. So I think, like my parents. They my
<v Speaker 2>dad I think was the first person to find out,
<v Speaker 2>But like, I think it was more so like it's
<v Speaker 2>never like the first thing that they want to know
<v Speaker 2>that their child is doing. So it's not that they're
<v Speaker 2>like so like super supportive. It's not like they're like, yay,
<v Speaker 2>go do this thing. I think it was a lot
<v Speaker 2>of emotions for them to go through, but they came
<v Speaker 2>out to see me. I'd moved to La they came
<v Speaker 2>out to see me, and I think like they wanted
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that I wasn't doing it as like
<v Speaker 2>a last resort and like I was doing it as
<v Speaker 2>like a form of something that I wanted to do.
<v Speaker 2>And then I think what I saw like my life style,
<v Speaker 2>how is living? That I was happy, and that there's
<v Speaker 2>so much more around it than the actual scene itself
<v Speaker 2>or the actual act itself, that they were like, Okay,
<v Speaker 2>we see, we understand you as our child, and you're
<v Speaker 2>not just doing this because you know, like you're down bad, right,
<v Speaker 2>like the stigma that I think that everyone still has
<v Speaker 2>around it. They're like, oh, you're doing this out of
<v Speaker 2>pure enjoyment. You're doing well, You're turning this into a business,
<v Speaker 2>so we accept it. Like do we talk about it,
<v Speaker 2>Like no, not really, you know what I mean, Like
<v Speaker 2>it's not like, oh, you know, like how was work today?
<v Speaker 2>They just like no, you know, I'm working or I'm
<v Speaker 2>traveling or I'm doing things. But I think that they've
<v Speaker 2>accepted me as a person and the things that I
<v Speaker 2>enjoy and like, and they've accepted my lifestyle. Like do
<v Speaker 2>they completely understand it?
<v Speaker 1>No?
<v Speaker 2>Are they trying? Yes, you know, but it's it's always
<v Speaker 2>a constant like learning learning curve for them. So I'm
<v Speaker 2>appreciative of that.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. No, that's great because obviously not every child, Like
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've talked to people who've been disowned by
<v Speaker 1>their family. Yeah, and it's it's pretty sad. But there's
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people whose parents like they come around
<v Speaker 1>to it, you know, and they end up being like
<v Speaker 1>really proud of their kids. And I think I think
<v Speaker 1>the first thought is always like is she safe? Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>like is she doing this because she wants to? Or
<v Speaker 1>is she being pressured into it? That's I think every
<v Speaker 1>parent's first concern.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that was their first concern. And like
<v Speaker 2>was it like immediately like were they just like yes,
<v Speaker 2>we like no, it was it was like a process,
<v Speaker 2>Like we didn't talk for like a while, and it wasn't,
<v Speaker 2>you know, like they had a They really had a process.
<v Speaker 2>It It wasn't like, oh they found out and then
<v Speaker 2>like a day later. It probably took them about a
<v Speaker 2>year for them to really come back around, right, But
<v Speaker 2>like I said, my siblings, they were like, okay, girl, whatever,
<v Speaker 2>you know, we don't care. We figured at some point
<v Speaker 2>in life you'd be doing something. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
<v Speaker 1>So you've shot covers for Playboy and Pure Taboo and
<v Speaker 1>you had a full spread and Hustler. These are very
<v Speaker 1>different publications with very different audiences. What was it like? Like,
<v Speaker 1>how was each experience.
<v Speaker 2>In the beginning, I thought like Playboy was like the
<v Speaker 2>do all end All, which it still was like it was.
<v Speaker 2>It was a very enjoyable experience. But Pure Taboo was
<v Speaker 2>one of the more recent ones that I shot, and
<v Speaker 2>I liked it because it was so it was kinky,
<v Speaker 2>and I think I've like changed over time, so I
<v Speaker 2>think that it was more representative of who I am now,
<v Speaker 2>you know. I think Playboy is like more of like
<v Speaker 2>that like girl next Door, you know, kind of like
<v Speaker 2>sweet she's doing the thing. But I think Pure Taboo
<v Speaker 2>is kind of like, Okay, she's She's who I thought
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna become.
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So what like new like kinster sexual opportunities of
<v Speaker 1>like opened up in your life. I used to shoot
<v Speaker 1>for pure taboo, so too. Yeah, I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>It's like a lot of things. So it was things
<v Speaker 2>that I didn't know that I would enjoy. So there
<v Speaker 2>was like golden shower play that I did in that
<v Speaker 2>scene that I was like, oh, like I like that
<v Speaker 2>a lot of like being dominated are things? Right, Like
<v Speaker 2>the idea of like being dominated I do because I think, like,
<v Speaker 2>given being in this industry, like uh, the women are
<v Speaker 2>more dominant, right, So I like to be more submissive
<v Speaker 2>in my personal life. It was just nice to play
<v Speaker 2>that role for like a little bit. You know, I
<v Speaker 2>think you and I are kind of similar in this way.
<v Speaker 2>So I'm like, I wasn't obedious and relationship a long
<v Speaker 2>time ago.
<v Speaker 1>I'm way more vanilla now. But I always liked being submissive, right.
<v Speaker 1>And but on the flip side, like in real life,
<v Speaker 1>I'm like a boss, I have like people working under me.
<v Speaker 1>I like do a lot of stuff. I'm like often
<v Speaker 1>in charge. You strike me as somebody who's probably the same. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's just like when it comes to sex,
<v Speaker 1>you just like for once in your life, you don't
<v Speaker 1>want to be the one giving the orders.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I just want to land tell me what to do.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you just want to let go. Like there's something
<v Speaker 1>really sexy and freeing about like flipping the script and
<v Speaker 1>that that power dynamic completely shifting.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>I mean you hear this all the time about like
<v Speaker 1>you know, talk to dominatrices who you know, have like
<v Speaker 1>high powered financial Wall Street guys coming in, and I
<v Speaker 1>think that's pretty common.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think so. I think even too, like you know,
<v Speaker 2>I still I mean i'd full disclosed like I do
<v Speaker 2>have clients too, and like I think it's like the
<v Speaker 2>same thing too, Like they want to be either they
<v Speaker 2>want to be dominated to where like they don't want
<v Speaker 2>to think about anything like not I'm not like any
<v Speaker 2>sort of domain natrix by that standard of some of
<v Speaker 2>these women. But they want you to just they just
<v Speaker 2>want to have you do everything right. They want you
<v Speaker 2>to initiate it, they want you to do the whole thing,
<v Speaker 2>which I get that. Or they want you to be
<v Speaker 2>very soft with not maternal with them, but more like
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I don't know the word, but they
<v Speaker 2>want you to like pet them and like coddle them
<v Speaker 2>and like, yeah, tell them it's gonna be Oh, you're
<v Speaker 2>so wonderful and so perfect and everything's gonna be okay.
<v Speaker 2>You like it's okay, set like you know. Yeah, So
<v Speaker 2>maybe like they want to be submissive in that way, right, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I'm learning that there's different versions of submission.
<v Speaker 1>There is.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>So Scharidaville is a really good friend of mine, and
<v Speaker 1>she is like very specific fans who want very specific things,
<v Speaker 1>and one of them is like tucking them into bed
<v Speaker 1>at night. There's like a whole like group of guys
<v Speaker 1>that want her to tuck them into bed at night.
<v Speaker 2>See, that's a very specific thing. I've never I've never
<v Speaker 2>had that, but hey, I get it. I want Seridavill
<v Speaker 2>to tuck me in. I know that's fair. I see
<v Speaker 2>the appeal.
<v Speaker 1>It's just so interesting working in this industry because I
<v Speaker 1>think you really get to explore other people's like kings
<v Speaker 1>and desires and you learn things about people that you
<v Speaker 1>would never normally have done.
<v Speaker 2>Right yeah, yeah, well it makes sense. Right. So I
<v Speaker 2>think a big thing that I do is like the
<v Speaker 2>girlfriend experience and a lot of guys like they it's
<v Speaker 2>a very similar thing. I guess, like they want you
<v Speaker 2>to they want like the cudd of the experience. They
<v Speaker 2>want to chat with you, they want to like they
<v Speaker 2>they don't really want anything like explicitly sexual, like they
<v Speaker 2>wanted to be a very like girlfriend. Ye, let's hang out.
<v Speaker 2>I want to know what your favorite movie is. How
<v Speaker 2>is your day like experience?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yeah, yeah, absolutely?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>What about do you do customs and if you have
<v Speaker 1>what's like the most interesting request you've gotten?
<v Speaker 2>Oh, of course I do customs. Man. They're all so
<v Speaker 2>like they're all over the spectrum right like, but for
<v Speaker 2>the most those parts, it's probably one of the craziest
<v Speaker 2>ones that I've gotten in recent times. I think what
<v Speaker 2>it is I'm so desensitized to them like sounding crazy,
<v Speaker 2>so like I'm like, this isn't crazy, this is just
<v Speaker 2>like normal. The biggest thing is just like the girlfriend thing.
<v Speaker 2>I think the biggest thing is like, oh, like tell me,
<v Speaker 2>will you just like come over and tell me like
<v Speaker 2>how much you like me? Or like you're leaving your
<v Speaker 2>boyfriend for me, or like how good of like a
<v Speaker 2>boyfriend that I am? And of course like I get,
<v Speaker 2>you know, I get some other crazy like can you
<v Speaker 2>put on a strap on a stroke your dick and
<v Speaker 2>tell me how much of a little shit I am?
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean? Yeah, you get those two right?
<v Speaker 2>Or I mean, of course I get like the I
<v Speaker 2>get milk request, and I get everything in between. Like
<v Speaker 2>I don't really have just like one thing really, I
<v Speaker 2>mean the girlfriend thing is it's it's not as like
<v Speaker 2>aggressive as it could be. You know which I'm lucky?
<v Speaker 2>You know which I'm lucky?
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it depends on the demographic that you, yeah,
<v Speaker 1>are track Yeah, yeah, I mean I've heard like I
<v Speaker 1>remember I think it was Candleblocks and she was like
<v Speaker 1>a fetish clips creator, like that was her specialty. And
<v Speaker 1>the most interesting thing I heard from her was a
<v Speaker 1>guy paid her to sit on a Duffel bag for
<v Speaker 1>twenty minutes. Just sit on a black Duffel bag for
<v Speaker 1>twenty minutes.
<v Speaker 2>I get guys to ask for things like that. They're like,
<v Speaker 2>can you just like sit in like these three different poses,
<v Speaker 2>but like you don't have to say anything or I
<v Speaker 2>don't know. Sometimes I'm like, where are you guys getting these?
<v Speaker 2>Because you know, you get sometimes you get like these
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where you guys are getting the time
<v Speaker 2>to write some of these requests because it is like
<v Speaker 2>a script.
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, yeah, what, yeah, Like what are you
<v Speaker 1>guys like a feature film?
<v Speaker 2>Dude? Yeah, Like they've taken all of like their best
<v Speaker 2>and then written it. And I'm like, I'm involved in
<v Speaker 2>the story now, I'm like, where's part two to this?
<v Speaker 2>Do you know?
<v Speaker 1>So speaking of interesting experiences, let's talk about the cop
<v Speaker 1>in the champagne room.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes, my favorite, my one of my favorite dancer stories.
<v Speaker 2>So I was a dancer in this upscale gentlemen's club
<v Speaker 2>in Denver and it was kind of like a slow
<v Speaker 2>night and me and my friends who were hanging out
<v Speaker 2>at the bar, and like this group of guys come
<v Speaker 2>in and anytime like guys come in and they're like,
<v Speaker 2>I bet you guys don't know what we do for work,
<v Speaker 2>and if you did, you probably wouldn't talk to us.
<v Speaker 2>And we're like, okay, you guys are obviously cops, right,
<v Speaker 2>like you know what I mean, just like the demeanor,
<v Speaker 2>it's not like okay whatever. So like long story short,
<v Speaker 2>they're like they're they're, you know, doing the thing, and
<v Speaker 2>we've we've we've convinced them to get into a into
<v Speaker 2>a champagne room. So I think it was like a
<v Speaker 2>group of like six guys, right, so three of them
<v Speaker 2>decided they get into a champagne room. So it's like
<v Speaker 2>three guys, three girls or four girls. It's me and
<v Speaker 2>my friend Rodeo that were on this one.
<v Speaker 1>Guy that's an awesome stripper name yeah, that is so good,
<v Speaker 1>and she is a Rodeo.
<v Speaker 2>That girl is a riot. But we got this guy
<v Speaker 2>and he was like, oh man, like the same thing
<v Speaker 2>he wanted to be dominated. He's, oh man, no one's
<v Speaker 2>been able to like dominate me like the way I
<v Speaker 2>wanted to. And she goes, all right, challenge approved, you know,
<v Speaker 2>challenge accepted, and we're we're hanging out this guy. Mind you,
<v Speaker 2>she's only about like this big and I'm I'm five
<v Speaker 2>eight for people who don't know, so I'm not gonna
<v Speaker 2>tell it. When you have stripper heels on, but I
<v Speaker 2>have might that's step that adds another seven inches. So
<v Speaker 2>we're we're we're we're hanging out with this guy. We're
<v Speaker 2>doing the thing. So she starts like open fisted slapping
<v Speaker 2>them and he goes like, that's not hard enough. That's
<v Speaker 2>not hard enough. So I started doing the thing. I
<v Speaker 2>played volleyball, so I'm like, okay, I can do the thing.
<v Speaker 2>He's like, no, that's not hard enough. You guys aren't
<v Speaker 2>doing you guys aren't doing what I want you to do.
<v Speaker 2>So rodeo. She takes off his belt and she wraps
<v Speaker 2>it around his neck. But she has experience in this,
<v Speaker 2>and she wraps it around his neck and she puts
<v Speaker 2>both of raffeta up against the wall and she slides
<v Speaker 2>back oho and this guy passes out full sin passes out.
<v Speaker 2>I was like, girl, his friends like you could hear
<v Speaker 2>a pin drop in this room. Like I was like,
<v Speaker 2>oh girl, we are going to prison. I was like,
<v Speaker 2>we're going to down. I was like, I was like,
<v Speaker 2>I know, I got a lawyer in my phone or somebody, right,
<v Speaker 2>Like I hope this outfit is cute enough to be in,
<v Speaker 2>like mug shoddy. I don't know what's happening here right now.
<v Speaker 2>But she does that, and then I was like, okay,
<v Speaker 2>Like all right, okay, go on and play along. I'm gonna
<v Speaker 2>keep playing the game, right, And then so we started
<v Speaker 2>she's laughing. I was like, girl, fucking roady. Oh my girl.

<v Speaker 2>like wake up, wake up. He like wakes up. I
<v Speaker 2>mean it felt like it was fucking forever, right, because
<v Speaker 2>you know when you have like that situation going on,
<v Speaker 2>you're like you think time is fucking forever. But it
<v Speaker 2>was only like what in a matter of like minutes.
<v Speaker 2>He wakes up. He looks at both of us in
<v Speaker 2>the face, he goes, I love you guys, and got
<v Speaker 2>it really fatip out of it, right, and then yeah,

<v Speaker 1>don't want to come to work the next day with
<v Speaker 1>me around your neck?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? So we did. We played around with it again,
<v Speaker 2>like we're doing it like, he gave us a nice tip.
<v Speaker 2>He had a good time. I don't think his friends
<v Speaker 2>were ready for it either, right, Like it's like one
<v Speaker 2>of those things, like the thing with the guys who
<v Speaker 2>go into like the strip club with like a group
<v Speaker 2>of friends or something, or like a bachelor party. It's
<v Speaker 2>like if you don't know what your friends are into.
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's like shocking, right, Like you gotta
<v Speaker 2>like warn your friends that, like you're into that kind
<v Speaker 2>of like hardcore play.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, you just can't be doing all that, dude.
<v Speaker 1>You know that they were all coughs, They're all guaranteed you.
<v Speaker 1>They might give him so much shit on the beat,
<v Speaker 1>like all the time, like they've got to make like
<v Speaker 1>and choking jokes like constantly, like guy will never live
<v Speaker 1>that down.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, I don't think he wants to. I don't
<v Speaker 2>think he wants to write. And I feel like he's
<v Speaker 2>one of those people's like he's always got to be
<v Speaker 2>searching for it.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you know what I mean.
<v Speaker 2>So I was like, all right, bro, all right, cool, interesting, Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I got it, love it. That's so good. But it's
<v Speaker 2>a fun time.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Okay, So let's talk about this Popcorn Award for
<v Speaker 1>an Independent Web Series. I've actually never heard of it,
<v Speaker 1>but that sounds really cool and I would like to
<v Speaker 1>also win it. I don't know what it is, but
<v Speaker 1>I would I would like to win it. So just
<v Speaker 1>putting that out there, whatever it is, nominate me. So
<v Speaker 1>what was this project and what did winning something for
<v Speaker 1>independent work specifically mean to you?
<v Speaker 2>So this was like before I had gotten into adult
<v Speaker 2>This was like a project that a director hit me
<v Speaker 2>up in twenty twenty, you know, obviously when I think
<v Speaker 2>people were just like doing nothing right but creating. Yeah.
<v Speaker 2>His name was Brian Nesbit, and it was a series
<v Speaker 2>called Born at Night and it was about this. It
<v Speaker 2>was actually about a sex worker, which was ironic enough,
<v Speaker 2>but she would is seeking revenge. It wasn't a spy,
<v Speaker 2>but it was more of like, uh, you know, seeking
<v Speaker 2>revenge because she was sex trafficked and you know, going
<v Speaker 2>through and beating guys down.
<v Speaker 1>Kind of like infiltrating.
<v Speaker 2>Infiltrating, yes, but yeah, exactly. It was about five or
<v Speaker 2>six episodes and age episode was no more than like
<v Speaker 2>ten minutes long. And I was actually surprised because, like
<v Speaker 2>you know, when you sometimes like you do things, you
<v Speaker 2>don't really keep up with it. I was like, oh,
<v Speaker 2>this is like a fun project to work on. During COVID, right,
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I'm not really doing much of anything.
<v Speaker 2>But then he was like, hey, like, I'm going out
<v Speaker 2>to this award show. We've been nominated you've won, which
<v Speaker 2>is basically like a Webby Award. Ye you know, it's
<v Speaker 2>like this. It was, it's a similar thing, but it was.
<v Speaker 2>It was cool because I was like, oh, like, you
<v Speaker 2>actually have h talent, right like you people were actually
<v Speaker 2>responsive to you, right, And I think for me, like
<v Speaker 2>that's that. It was cool because I like, I'm a
<v Speaker 2>creative at heart. So I was like, oh, like that
<v Speaker 2>that was nice to be a to have a nomination
<v Speaker 2>and win the award.
<v Speaker 1>Right, and you were an actress in this, yeah, I.
<v Speaker 2>Was the main actress in it.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.
<v Speaker 1>So along those like lines, do you prefer to shoot
<v Speaker 1>Gonzo scenes or features?
<v Speaker 2>Features? I do like to do features. I do like
<v Speaker 2>to shoot Gonzo, but just I like the features. I
<v Speaker 2>think the creative behind it and having to act and
<v Speaker 2>come up with the scenario for me is a little
<v Speaker 2>bit easier than just like the getting straight to it,
<v Speaker 2>like the kind of.
<v Speaker 1>You know, yeah, like you want like a storyline behind it,
<v Speaker 1>like a reason yeah why you're there?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Not just like it's fun to go to Poundtown.
<v Speaker 2>Don't get me wrong, but like, I think it's also
<v Speaker 2>like fun so like because I imagine like watching your
<v Speaker 2>favorite movie and then you actually get to like see
<v Speaker 2>this scene, and I think that's what I like. Yeaheah.
<v Speaker 1>So a feature movie is generally an adult movie that
<v Speaker 1>has like acting in it, that has a storyline that
<v Speaker 1>has you know, it's not just sex. A gonzo scene
<v Speaker 1>is generally a scene that is just sex, so like
<v Speaker 1>goes pretty much straight to sex. There's usually no act.
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it'll be like a solo. Well a lot of
<v Speaker 1>times it'll be like a solo of the girl like
<v Speaker 1>showing her off and she'll be stripping and doing something sexy.
<v Speaker 1>But that's the difference between the two types of scenes. So,
<v Speaker 1>do you have any features that you've done since you've
<v Speaker 1>been in the adult industry that you really like, are
<v Speaker 1>proud of.
<v Speaker 2>So I did a featurette last year that was up
<v Speaker 2>for quite a few awards where it was for Adult
<v Speaker 2>Time and was I got to do the prosthetics of
<v Speaker 2>like being like a black widow spider, which was super cool.
<v Speaker 1>How long were you in makeup and hair for that?
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, that was a long Those were long days. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>that was first one in literally the last one out. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>but it was the concept was like this woman whose
<v Speaker 2>like wife, her husband wasn't like giving her any attention.
<v Speaker 2>She gets bit by a spider. She turned into like
<v Speaker 2>a black widow. She like gets these guys into her web,
<v Speaker 2>and then it's like a it's a whole situation at hand.
<v Speaker 2>I've done a I can't think about the name of
<v Speaker 2>the project right now, but I've done some features for
<v Speaker 2>Seth Gamble and Ricky Greenwood. So yeah, I've done quite
<v Speaker 2>but I can't think of their names right off the bat,
<v Speaker 2>you know, but they've all been fun.
<v Speaker 1>They and they both shot so many scenes.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly, Like you're like trying to think about it.
<v Speaker 2>You're like, oh my goodness, yeah yeah.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So deeplatforming is something that you feel very strongly
<v Speaker 1>about and it's a huge problem for our industry. How
<v Speaker 1>has it affected you personally and how do you manage
<v Speaker 1>protecting yourself against it if at all?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So, like, as we know right now, I think
<v Speaker 2>that we are in the like the mass deplatforming of creators.
<v Speaker 2>I think there's so many people who are trying to
<v Speaker 2>advocate it for it, and I think Instagram even like released
<v Speaker 2>a statement today saying that they are tackling actual sex
<v Speaker 2>workers and they are deleting their accounts on purpose. For
<v Speaker 2>me personally, just like everybody, I'm on my eighth Instagram
<v Speaker 2>accountant and that's even before being like an adult performer.
<v Speaker 2>But you know, we spend money to get our accounts back.
<v Speaker 2>We spend money to keep our accounts afloat. You try
<v Speaker 2>to do everything that you possibly can, but you know,
<v Speaker 2>it is a full send attack on performers or sex
<v Speaker 2>workers or whatever the case may be, because it does suck, right,
<v Speaker 2>because it's your brand, and that's how we make most
<v Speaker 2>of our money.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah right, Unfortunately, like that's really the only way that
<v Speaker 1>we can promote ourselves. Yeah, that's where the traffic is.
<v Speaker 1>So it's not like we have somewhere else to go,
<v Speaker 1>and it's just like the same old trying to push.
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, people in the industry underground, and you know,
<v Speaker 1>everyone does their best to follow the rules and they're
<v Speaker 1>so opaque about things.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they well they're always constantly changing the rules. And
<v Speaker 2>now they have AI and different systems like that that
<v Speaker 2>are running through the system. But it's not like back
<v Speaker 2>in the day, right where it's like you know, you
<v Speaker 2>can just do like box covers and all these things
<v Speaker 2>and stay relevant. Now you have like social media, but
<v Speaker 2>people don't tell you about adult work as social media
<v Speaker 2>is like eighty percent of your job now. But as
<v Speaker 2>far as like protecting myself, So I've worked with my
<v Speaker 2>with my team, and they've came up with like a
<v Speaker 2>very rare technology now where it is an auto poster
<v Speaker 2>where they it puts your content into the autoposter now
<v Speaker 2>and it tells you if it's safe to put on
<v Speaker 2>your platform or not. And it also runs it because
<v Speaker 2>Instagram is always changing their rules and that's the opeckness
<v Speaker 2>of it, because if you don't know, it's always changing, right,
<v Speaker 2>and that gives them reason to deplatform you. But because
<v Speaker 2>of the autoposter and because of their AI system, they'll
<v Speaker 2>tell you and it also warn you if your account
<v Speaker 2>is about to be banned and the reason as to
<v Speaker 2>why it's about to be banned. I've been working with them,
<v Speaker 2>collaborating with them and using them because I have my
<v Speaker 2>account taking down maybe like two weeks ago, and like
<v Speaker 2>all these people texted me. They're like I was in
<v Speaker 2>Chicago and they're like, hey, you know your account got
<v Speaker 2>taken down. I was like, yes, and I happen to
<v Speaker 2>be with my manager at the time, Steven, who is
<v Speaker 2>the person who created this poster or this auto poster.
<v Speaker 2>I got my account back in twelve minutes because it
<v Speaker 2>was one of those things to where everything was come client,
<v Speaker 2>so my page was compliant, so they had no reason
<v Speaker 2>for me to take it down. So it's like Instagram
<v Speaker 2>couldn't fight it. They couldn't just have my platform taken
<v Speaker 2>from me because they don't tell you things like, oh, well, hey,
<v Speaker 2>you you reason why your platform got taken down is
<v Speaker 2>because you have AVN tagged in like your bio right,
<v Speaker 2>Avn's page might not be compliant. You don't know that,
<v Speaker 2>so now your page gets taken down. So they make
<v Speaker 2>it so snakeish. But now having this technology for us
<v Speaker 2>made for us, it's like a nice safety net so
<v Speaker 2>we don't have to always lose it and always have
<v Speaker 2>to pay thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars to
<v Speaker 2>get these accounts back, because it gets ridiculous and it
<v Speaker 2>gets harder and harder the bigger your numbers get. Right,
<v Speaker 2>I've had friends with like one point five million followers
<v Speaker 2>and they get their account ban and the guys like, oh,
<v Speaker 2>I need twenty bands to get this back, and it's like,
<v Speaker 2>is it really I'm not just going to come off
<v Speaker 2>a twenty thousand, But I think it's nice to have
<v Speaker 2>a to be ahead of the game, right because they're
<v Speaker 2>already getting pushed out between verification and already being an
<v Speaker 2>adult performer. They don't really want us on their platform.
<v Speaker 2>So I think it's better to be protected before instead
<v Speaker 2>of you know.
<v Speaker 1>Just existing is like against the terms of service.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, existing is against the terms of service, but like
<v Speaker 2>if they have if you have the right tools to
<v Speaker 2>protect yourself, then I think it goes a long way.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we've been looking into something similar as well, like
<v Speaker 1>for my marketing agency. But yeah, it's just the frustrating
<v Speaker 1>thing is it's like I don't understand why, like just
<v Speaker 1>tell just tell us, like give us these new rules,
<v Speaker 1>give us something like that, some sort of filtering system,
<v Speaker 1>because like people don't want to violate the rules. I mean, look,
<v Speaker 1>some people will push some lemen, yeah whatever, okay, fine,
<v Speaker 1>But like for those of us who really are trying
<v Speaker 1>to stay in within compliant, within the community guidelines, we're
<v Speaker 1>just trying to make a living for a job. Which,
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I don't know why I have to
<v Speaker 1>like constantly remind people, but it's legal. It's legal, we're
<v Speaker 1>not running guns, yeah or something like that.
<v Speaker 2>You know. It's just like it's just crazy. Yeah yeah, and.
<v Speaker 1>You know, just make it so that we know what's
<v Speaker 1>going on so we can yeah the rules.
<v Speaker 2>I think their thing is is like they like, oh,
<v Speaker 2>like we do make it, but you just don't read
<v Speaker 2>the terms in service, Like, well who reads the terms
<v Speaker 2>in service?
<v Speaker 1>But it's also so vague and a lot of it
<v Speaker 1>is you know, based on like.
<v Speaker 2>Legal jargon or terminology that a lot of people don't
<v Speaker 2>or just like opinion.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, pretty much. It's like the whole like obscenity cases, right,
<v Speaker 1>like what is obscene to you? You know, definition of
<v Speaker 1>obscenity is vague. It's like it violates local community standards.
<v Speaker 1>I think is like one of the rules. Well what
<v Speaker 1>the fuck? What what is like? And that's just so
<v Speaker 1>that's just like regional, right is that? Like what are
<v Speaker 1>the community standards? Like doesn't appeal to like apparent interest
<v Speaker 1>and you know, isn't like educational artistic well, like what's educational?
<v Speaker 1>What's artists different? Like this podcast? Is it educational because
<v Speaker 1>they educate people in the adult industry like what goes
<v Speaker 1>on behind Like, but you know, there's been plenty of
<v Speaker 1>times that I've been knocked. You know, you could say
<v Speaker 1>this whole thing is educational.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is how you ask Yeah yeah, for me,
<v Speaker 2>I think it's always like one of those things too.
<v Speaker 2>It's like, well, if you don't want to if you
<v Speaker 2>don't want to see, your algorithm is based upon what
<v Speaker 2>you look at, right, So if you ended up on
<v Speaker 2>that side of the algorithm, then it isn't that kind
<v Speaker 2>of like based upon what you Oh yeah, you know
<v Speaker 2>what I mean.
<v Speaker 1>Like how did I get here? I'm like, I don't
<v Speaker 1>know how you got here?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know how you got here? Right? Or it's
<v Speaker 2>just like the same thing. But you know, it's like
<v Speaker 2>putting a childlock on, right, Like my parents put the
<v Speaker 2>childlock on the television. Yeah, so you know, like, but
<v Speaker 2>you know whatever.
<v Speaker 1>So the infrastructure that adult creators depend on, payment processors, banks,
<v Speaker 1>social media platforms, as we were just saying, is constantly
<v Speaker 1>working against us. So how do you build a sustainable
<v Speaker 1>career when the ground keeps shifting? Like how do you
<v Speaker 1>stay one step ahead?
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, I just have to thank my team for that.
<v Speaker 2>I can't even fully stay on Like I can't say
<v Speaker 2>that it's me. I just have to thank my team
<v Speaker 2>for that because they're constantly doing like the research and
<v Speaker 2>telling me what I need to stay on top of
<v Speaker 2>and giving me the guidelines. Because we all have a
<v Speaker 2>thousand things to do, right, I can't like be on set,
<v Speaker 2>create content, create social media, do the shoot, show up,
<v Speaker 2>do all this stuff right. So that's for me personally.
<v Speaker 2>That's what it is is having like a strong team
<v Speaker 2>and being lucky enough to have that. Yeah, And if
<v Speaker 2>you don't have that, then just really try and do
<v Speaker 2>your research as much as possible and try to listen
<v Speaker 2>to some of the girls who are like yelling about it, right.
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's a lot of performers who are trying
<v Speaker 2>to advocate for it, who try to be a couple
<v Speaker 2>of steps ahead. So if you are by yourself and
<v Speaker 2>you don't have a team, then try and like look
<v Speaker 2>out for that, right the girls who the girls and
<v Speaker 2>guys who are trying to make it easier for you
<v Speaker 2>to digest. But yeah, like I said, I just I'm
<v Speaker 2>lucky to have a good team.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's telegram groups that you can join. There's Reddit threads. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>there's a couple of different places that you can try
<v Speaker 1>to But I just feel like everyone's always guessed thing.
<v Speaker 1>We're all discussing.
<v Speaker 2>It's a guessing game, and it's always changing. It's always changing.
<v Speaker 1>So where do you think the industry is actually headed
<v Speaker 1>in the next five years. Do you think it's getting
<v Speaker 1>better or do you think the walls are closing in?
<v Speaker 2>That's like a good question. So I feel like I
<v Speaker 2>got in in like late twenty two.
<v Speaker 1>So.
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it was like content Creator that was
<v Speaker 2>like the only fans era. Everyone says like the death
<v Speaker 2>of the porn star like doesn't exist. I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>I think that if we For me personally, I don't
<v Speaker 2>think you can really kill a porn star, to be
<v Speaker 2>honest with you, or the porn industry, I think that.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I think it's it's gonna come full circle,
<v Speaker 2>right Like, I think everything's just gonna come back full
<v Speaker 2>sain They're gonna try and make it difficult. I would
<v Speaker 2>love the day for like porn stars to like really
<v Speaker 2>come back and like you know, you're doing the box
<v Speaker 2>covers and the DVDs, like the whole thing. I wanted
<v Speaker 2>to be when I got into the industry. I wish
<v Speaker 2>I could say, but I don't know. I thought I
<v Speaker 2>could say, but I don't know. I mean, you've been
<v Speaker 2>in it for longer, and you've you've seen this probably happen.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I feel like if I could predict it, I'd
<v Speaker 1>probably be a lot richer than I am. But yeah,
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, I thought that we were moving
<v Speaker 1>forward and we were, you know, starting to become more
<v Speaker 1>sexually acceptable, and I feel like we've taken quite a
<v Speaker 1>few steps backwards in the lost honest Trump and President
<v Speaker 1>You're not.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's been it's been like a rough time, right,
<v Speaker 2>But then I know there's other countries that are starting
<v Speaker 2>to put heavy bands and yeah, you know. So I
<v Speaker 2>don't know.
<v Speaker 1>How has this work changed your personal relationship with your
<v Speaker 1>own sexuality.
<v Speaker 2>My private sex life is definitely different than like my
<v Speaker 2>work sex life. I think work sex life is always fun,
<v Speaker 2>but it's also work, so it's not as like fluid
<v Speaker 2>as my private sex life. But it's just added like
<v Speaker 2>a layer of like openness and like a layer of like,
<v Speaker 2>oh I want to try that. I want to try that,
<v Speaker 2>and if I don't like it, then I don't have
<v Speaker 2>to do it again, right.
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I've had a lot of performers say that
<v Speaker 1>they feel like porn is a good place to safely
<v Speaker 1>explore kinks fantasies that they might feel nervous about trying
<v Speaker 1>to do on their own because it's like in a
<v Speaker 1>controlled environment and they feel like they could explore these
<v Speaker 1>things in a safe way, surrounded by people who are
<v Speaker 1>looking out for their safety. I mean, you know, like
<v Speaker 1>try to organize your own gang bang.
<v Speaker 2>Good luck? Oh yeah, try to order your own gang bang,
<v Speaker 2>your own orgy, right, like, because it's like if you're
<v Speaker 2>a girl and try and organize an orgy, it's like
<v Speaker 2>you can get every man to show up. Yeah, if
<v Speaker 2>you want a nice, balanced out orgy, good luck, good luck.
<v Speaker 1>And also like every guy that shows up, like are
<v Speaker 1>they safe? Are they tested? Like all that kind of stuff. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's always like number one too. It's like I yeah,
<v Speaker 1>and it's like is it worth it?
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?
<v Speaker 1>You know what does the public consistently get wrong about
<v Speaker 1>the sex lives of people who work an adult.
<v Speaker 2>Is that a that we are easy and promiscuous and
<v Speaker 2>that we The one thing that I get a lot
<v Speaker 2>that people complain about is that like, we choose our
<v Speaker 2>scene partners. I don't choose my scene partners. That's like
<v Speaker 2>one complaint that I get at least like every week.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh they don't like who you worked with. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>and they don't like it any time.
<v Speaker 2>This is like a movie, right, I don't get you
<v Speaker 2>can't just walk in and say I want to play
<v Speaker 2>this role. I make fantasies, not reality.
<v Speaker 1>But you have a no list And can you explain
<v Speaker 1>what a know list is to people who may not understand?
<v Speaker 2>No list is like for people like you don't particularly
<v Speaker 2>want to work with right, and it's not. It could
<v Speaker 2>be for a multitude of reasons. It could be that,
<v Speaker 2>like you worked with them once and it just didn't
<v Speaker 2>go well. Maybe you've heard complaints about other girls online
<v Speaker 2>who are maybe friends or somebody that are like hey,
<v Speaker 2>like watch out, like this performer might be this, that
<v Speaker 2>and the other, or you just don't like what they
<v Speaker 2>got going on. Maybe like, oh, well I don't like
<v Speaker 2>their brand, I don't like something about this just won't
<v Speaker 2>work right. Personalities might not work well together, so you
<v Speaker 2>know this scene's not gonna be good. Or maybe like
<v Speaker 2>there are really aggressive and you're like, I don't really
<v Speaker 2>do that, right, So I think like a no list
<v Speaker 2>is someone that you just know that you're not gonna
<v Speaker 2>work well with, or you've worked with them once and
<v Speaker 2>you're like, nah, I don't want to do that, And
<v Speaker 2>I do have a no list. Yes, is it a
<v Speaker 2>very long no list? No, it's a very short no list,
<v Speaker 2>But I do have one. So that's probably as far
<v Speaker 2>as it goes. It's you know, in surprise, surprise guys.
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes performers are on a no list because their dick
<v Speaker 2>is too big, has nothing else to do with anything else,
<v Speaker 2>but the fact that the girl feels like she would
<v Speaker 2>not be able to perform with that guy. It would
<v Speaker 2>be painful and it would not be a good scene.
<v Speaker 2>And that is literally the only reason why. And it's
<v Speaker 2>nothing personal whatsoever.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, as a director, you usually ask one thing you
<v Speaker 1>always ask is what is you know in your booking talent?
<v Speaker 1>What is their no list? So you make sure that
<v Speaker 1>you don't book somebody that they don't want to work with.
<v Speaker 1>I like to ask people about their yes list, like
<v Speaker 1>who they like working with? Do you have any particular favorites?
<v Speaker 1>I think pretty much everyone that like is not on
<v Speaker 1>the no list?
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, like there's my yes list is
<v Speaker 2>always like Charles Darra is always a yes, Charles, like
<v Speaker 2>all the like most of the guys are always like yes.
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you could go back and tell yourself
<v Speaker 1>something that you know now that you didn't know getting
<v Speaker 1>into the industry, what would it be, Like a piece
<v Speaker 1>of advice you could give your younger self.
<v Speaker 2>Just shooting the scenes isn't what's going to catapult your career.
<v Speaker 2>It's everything else outside of the scenes that catapults your career.
<v Speaker 2>And I wish I would have focused on that a
<v Speaker 2>lot sooner, but you know, you get there.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so understanding that, like being an adult film star
<v Speaker 1>is so much more than just showing up and having sex. Yeah,
<v Speaker 1>that's what I think a lot of people don't get.
<v Speaker 1>They're like, oh, you have such an easy job. You
<v Speaker 1>just show up, you obtection, you go home, and it's
<v Speaker 1>like such a massive amount of time from your day
<v Speaker 1>is now the marketing.
<v Speaker 2>It is a lot of the marketing and staying afloat,
<v Speaker 2>staying relevant, building your brand, Like there's cause there are Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>you are on set, You're on set. You can be
<v Speaker 2>on set for four hours, you can be on stt
<v Speaker 2>I've been on set for twenty hours, right, like you
<v Speaker 2>don't know? And it is building your brand and staying
<v Speaker 2>relevant because there are millions and millions of beautiful girl
<v Speaker 2>roles coming in every day or be around the world
<v Speaker 2>every day. Right, there's hundreds of beautiful girls coming into
<v Speaker 2>the industry every day, right do they often last know?
<v Speaker 2>But it is good to have staying power, and it's
<v Speaker 2>good to build your brand, and it's good to say, okay, well,
<v Speaker 2>the next best thing is always trying to come in,
<v Speaker 2>so how do you You know? You got to keep
<v Speaker 2>yourself relevant and you can't always compare yourself to everybody
<v Speaker 2>that's always coming in. So it is always good to
<v Speaker 2>build your brand, and the shoots aren't always going to
<v Speaker 2>do that for you. The shoot gets you a nice,
<v Speaker 2>comfortable name for yourself and you can build you like
<v Speaker 2>a nice starter foundation for a fan base, but that's
<v Speaker 2>not going to catapult you into the next season or
<v Speaker 2>the next level of where you really want to be,
<v Speaker 2>depending on where you want to be. You know, some
<v Speaker 2>people they just they just want to do the scenes,
<v Speaker 2>and that's fine. Some people they you know, you see
<v Speaker 2>these people who have like these mega brands, and it
<v Speaker 2>is a constant twenty four to seven, seven day a week.
<v Speaker 2>Like I'll tell you, I work every day and that's
<v Speaker 2>not just shooting scenes, that is everything else behind it.
<v Speaker 2>So I think that's one thing I would have told
<v Speaker 2>myself is like, girl, you're going to be doing if
<v Speaker 2>you want, if you want to get to that level,
<v Speaker 2>you need to be prepared to know that you need
<v Speaker 2>it's everything else that comes with it.
