Get naked for a photo shoot in the morning, film a sex scene in the afternoon, and make it to embalming class at mortuary school in the evening; welcome to the wonderful world of Megan Murray.
Like so many that came before her, this freshly minted starlet got her feet wet in the industry by stripping. But unlike most stars in porn valley, Megan likes to walk on the darker side of the street.
Watching horror movies is her favorite pass time. She lists the notorious Sasha Grey as one of her porn role models. The Cure is perhaps her favorite band, and the macabre illustrations of Edward Gorey totally float her boat. So, it isn't surprising that this barely legal teen is doing some pretty bizarre scenes. My second scene ever was the most bizarre. It was for a fetish website and I had to get fake strangled and then die. I think I draw the line there. I have also had to fake being asleep for an entire scene, sex and all. That was fun though because it was early in the morning and I was kind of sleepy.
The deliciously pale beauty knows that porn isn't forever. So naturally, becoming a mortician is her back up plan. I have a great respect for death. I think most people never stop to really think about it or to really question the things they have been told about it. That is why I love it. So many people live their whole lives and never think about it. I have to think about it every time I embalm someone. I live every day like it could be my last and I have a very fun life. It is a very weighted job though. You are preparing someones loved one for the last time they will see them. You have to do everything right. It is a responsibility I enjoy having. I like perfection.
However, mortuary isn't her true calling; porn is the all encompassing love of her life. My first job was selling vibrators and porn she goes on, I cannot remember a time when I was not aware of sex. My first orgasm was with a hot tub jet and I was pretty young. I don't think it played a part in my chosen path though. I am a very sexual person and I am pretty sure I would have ended up here no matter what.
So, what does this young starlet want to get out of her career; maybe directing one day?
No, I really enjoy being in front of the camera. I would like to feel like I helped break down some sexual barriers During my career. I hate to see people embarrassed about sex and working at a porn store I saw that way too often.
Ok, so what can we expect from you in the not too distant future?
I would like to do some more fetish work. Some latex and foot fetish work would be fun. I would also like to do some alternative porn and some raunchy hardcore stuff.
You can see this lovely lady, doing what she does best in Barely Legal # 83
While cruising around the 2008 XRCO awards where HUSTLER took home the prize for best POV release with InTERActive, we ran into the always amicable Sasha Grey.
We had a few minutes where we talked about Steven Soderbergh and LSD.
Is there any truth to the rumors that you are reading for Steven Soderbergh's new movie? That's news to me. I'm not that hard to contact, so if they want me to come in I would love to know about it. Do you like Steven Soderbergh movies? I do, I love Steven Soderbergh's movies. Schizopolis is an amazing film.
Albert Hofmann, who discovered LSD died today. Do you have any thoughts about this?I thought he died a couple weeks ago. Nope, died today. That sucks because there is no such thing as real acid anymore, and thats why I refuse to take it. Luckily, I have a hippie uncle, that through osmosis I don't have to take anything. He can get me high just being around him. I've learned allot from him.
So whats going on with your website? It's taking awhile. Lets not talk about that. There is a splash page where you can go and sign up for the newsletter, so when it is up; you can find out. Hopefully it will be up in a month or so.
Is it harder now that you've left your agency and are independent?Its not harder to be on my own. I just think it was time for me. I've been in the business for a few years now, so I grew in the business and knew I could do it on my own.
If you had to pick one thing, what would you say is the biggest influence in your life/career? One thing? I would say either Godard or David Bowie.
It was a gusty night in Burbank, when Nautica Thorn descended on a small bar with one mission in mind: KARAOKE!
Thats right, the latest installment of the now notorious Porn Star Karaoke went down this week, and HUSTLER was there to celebrate the release of the Nautica Thron produced, Straight Fucking. In between belting out our own renditions of Raspberry Beret and Foot Loose we pulled a hapless man off the street and forced him to interview the salacious Nautica Thorn. Oddly, he didn't ask Nautica anything about Straight Fucking, for example, what was it like to direct, or if she had fun working with Savannah Stern, Sophie Dee, Roxy DeVille, Aubrey Addams and Britney Stevens. However, we did find out that Nautica loves her some animated movies.

The current issue of HUSTLER Taboo features an amazing layout with sexual teen titan, Sasha Grey. We were lucky enough to get some time from her busy schedule of filming deep throats, double penetrations, and staring in Smashing Pumpkins videos to talk about her loves, likes, and most importantly; whats the best thing to do when wearing an Elmo suit.
You've said that an ex-boyfriend was the person who got you into the "extreme sex" that you've quickly become known for. Were you initially hesitant to take part in that stuff like choking, sub/dom, and anal? No, I had been interested in SM for a while, but not being very sexually experienced I wasnt aware of how to approach it. When we first started playing, we just took it slow, and he would take what he dished out to me. Ass far as the butt sex, I came into the relationship with my ass wide open. How about you? Do you like it in the butt?
You came into porn because you said you wanted to push out the boundaries of the industry and wanted to see more sexual creativity in films. With this, how do you justify the more "standard" porn scenes that you've been in? A business is a business, and you always have to compromise in what you do. I dont always get to do the scenes I wish to do; it takes time and a certain point in ones career to have complete control. 'If any of my competitors were drowning, I'd stick a hose in their mouth and turn on the water. It is ridiculous to call this an industry. This is not. This is rat eat rat, dog eat dog. I'll kill 'em, and I'm going to kill 'em before they kill me. You're talking about the American way - of survival of the fittest.' ( note: this is a Ray Kroc quote that Sasha says. Kroc was the one who built the McDonald's corporation)
How much longer do you plan on being a performer? Do you want to build a life-long career like Jenna Jameson (of which people have compared you to)? If you do plan on leaving the industry what would be the next chapter for Sasha Grey? I plan for my career to be fruitful, but I cant put a number of months or years on how long my performing career will be. My next step is to start directing, and really getting my creative stamp on the projects I perform in. Speaking of Jenna Jameson, I have a life-size costume that I plan on never taking off-it will be like the Jeana Jameson 2.0-yeah thats what Ill call myself, Jenna 2.0...
What's the best thing you did in the past year? I made salsa with a day laborer, can you say authentic?
Favorite purchase of the past year? A brand new ColecoVision...its still in the box.
Favorite sex act to do in your own time? I like to shit, piss, and get fucked in the ass with my Elmo outfit on.
What kind of scenes would you like to do in the future that you haven't already done? Maybe a scene with 'special people'.
What attracts you to a sexual partner? Those people that take pictures with their car on myspace. Thats sexy.
Our countdown to the AVN Awards and the Adult Entertainment Expo continues as we sit down with the scorching hot Holly Wellin. This English vixen is getting quite the reputation for pushing things to the edge during her amazing scenes. She will be in Las Vegas January 9th through the 12th meeting fans and signing autographs at the HUSTLER booth along with starlets Nina Mercedez, Cassie Young, Maya Gates, Holly Wellin, Lexxi Tyler, Nevaeh and Celeste Star.
How did you get into the business? Was it always your goal to be an adult performer? It was never a goal to be in the industry. An agency in England referred me over to an American agent (Jim South at world modeling) and it went from there.
You've worked with HUSTLER in the past, what do you think your favorite HUSTLER project is? I love Barely Legal, who doesn't like fresh meat.
What kind of scenes would you like to do in the future that you haven't already done? Double vag and double anal. I love a challenge!
2007 just wrapped up, what was the best thing you did during the year? Leaving my husband; it's sad but true.
Do you have any resolutions for 2008? To stop smoking, live healthier, and to start following my dreams and believing in myself again!
You grew up in England. What's one thing you miss from England that isn't in California? and, What's one thing you miss from California that you wish was in England? I miss the overall mentality of the people and culture in England. I wish I could take the beautiful California sun over to England.
What are you looking forward to at the HUSTLER booth during AEE? Working with an excellent team and interacting with my awesome fans!
Anything else you want to add for all of your fans out there? Just love one another, be positive and help those who are less fortunate than you are. If we all eliminated negativity the world would be a better place to live. I love you all, peace!
As we count down the days until the mayhem that is the AVN Awards & Adult Entertainment Expo; we caught up with the always wonderful Nevaeh for a short but sweet interview. She will be out in full force representing at the expo for HUSTLER.
What is the best thing you did in the past year?
This year I made tons of new friends and enjoyed my job!
So youre from Chicago. Whats one thing you miss from Chicago that isnt in California? and, Whats one thing you miss from California that you wish was in Chicago?
When Im in California, I miss the city. Chicago is my favorite place because the people there are so laid back and fun loving. California is just crazy! When Im in Chicago I definitely miss the California sun and beaches!
What is your favorite purchase of the past year?
My new house!
Any new years resolutions?
I dont do resolutions.
Do you ever watch your own movies?
I try, but I always end up laughing.
What profession other than your own would you most like to attempt?
I always wanted to be an anesthesiologist.
What are you looking forward to the most at the HUSTLER booth during AEE?
Meeting all the fans and checking out the naked girls at other booths.
Every January, the porn world convenes on Las Vegas in a week of debaucherous mayhem for the AVN awards and the Adult Entertainment Expo. It's one of the only times a year where fans can meet their favorite starlets and vice versa. This year is looking like the best yet, Nautica Thorn, Nina Mercedez, Lexxi Tyler, Cassie Young, Maya Gates, Holly Wellin, Nevaeh, and Celeste Star will all be in attendance representing HUSTLER. We were able to catch up with the lovely Lexxi Tyler to ask her a few questions and see what she was looking forward to most about the convention.
So, you started off as a dancer. Do you ever find yourself at strip clubs just for fun?
I love, love, love strip clubs! I'm always going out to them. Every chance I get! I love beautiful women giving me dances and I've made a lot of good girlfriends there believe it or not. The VIP rooms are the best! It gets crazy in there; those girls are not shy! I'm always trying to recruit hahaha!
Well, 2007 is wrapping up. What was the best thing you did this year?
I think the most extraordinary thing I've done this past year, would have to be that I've completely recreated myself. Inside and out. I've done some upgrading on the outside and I've become more accepting on the inside. It's been quite a challenging year and I've been the busiest this year than ever before in my life and my career. It's all been really amazing!
Favorite purchase of the past year?
I am a shop-a-holic!! I think it's more like retail therapy for me. Derek Hay calls me the "resident Victoria Beckham". I love beautiful things! I guess, Christian Louboutin shoes and Versace handbags were the best purchases. I'm a sucker for those!
Any new year's resolutions?
I haven't really got any new year's resolutions. I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing, because it's working!
What's your favorite and least favorite thing about the adult industry?
My favorite thing about the adult industry is that it's a fantasy land that I get to play in! It's so much fun dressing up, getting my hair and makeup done; then I get to have fun with HOT girls... and get paid!! My least favorite thing about the business is the people who don't respect that you're in a relationship and try to create drama. Other than that it's just peachy! Everyone is cool.
On that topic, if you date or meet someone outside the industry at what point to do you reveal to them what you do for a living?
I'm not shy about what I do for a living. People find it SO fascinating! But, I've been with Derrick Pierce (he's male talent) for 3 1/2 years. We got into the business together and we are a real power house team together.
So, where do you like to hang out in LA? What's your favorite restaurant?
My favorite restaurant is Koi in Beverly Hills! They have this "to die for" appetizer called Krispy Rice that is SO addicting! It's very trendy, lots of eye candy in there, also there is always celebrities dining there so it makes it fun. I highly recommend it. Make reservations or they won't let you in the door. Not even for a cocktail at the bar.
Ok, last but not least. What are you looking forward to the most being at the HUSTLER booth during AEE?
I'm really excited to be signing for such an amazing company! It's an honor that they asked me to be one of the girls to represent them this year at the expo. I love Larry Flint! He's such an icon for our industry! All the girls are smoking hot and we had a blast shooting all the promo pictures and video, so it'll be nice to spend 4 days with them. Meeting my fans is always the biggest reward of all!
We first ran into this cutie at the release party for Nikki Benz's Test Drive. We were immediately taken back by her smile. The expression, "lights up a room" was invented to describe girls live Stefani. Except in this case, she wasn't lighting up a room, but a red carpet. We didn't get the chance to speak with her then, but we used our connections (i.e. MySpace) to track her down and set up an interview.
When we got the Vivid girl on the phone, we were amazed at her poise, candor and relative maturity. At several points during our conversation we told her how surprised we were to find out she was only 20. We learned all about her recent injury, Howard Stern, her unhappiness with her recent FHM interview and her plans for making a transition to the mainstream. We also let James "weird beard" Lipton subject her to the Pivit Questionnaire.
Following the jump, we present to you our Best Interview Ever®.
As you probably already know, we've been carrying on a love affair with Hillary Scott and her business card. Sure, her movies are incredible, but any woman that possesses the self-assuredness and the sense of humor to label herself a "professional ass-whore" should be placed high upon a pedestal.
Our girlfriend gets mad when we ask her to talk dirty to us. With Hillary, such talk is part of her everyday lexicon (Editor's Note: You worked "ass-whore" and "lexicon" into the intro, impressive) and we should know. We recently got the new Britney Rears on the phone for what were are dubbing the Best Interview Ever®. Following the jump, learn all about her new role as the titular character, the time she called someone a "limp dicked faggot" and why she's not into being spit on.
We met Dana at the "East Meets West" photography exhibit and had no idea she was an adult performer. When asked where we might have seen her, she made a face like she was gagging on a penis and said, "Maybe Neu Wave Hookers". We liked her immediately. She's cute, smart and funny...our type of woman.
She's like that cool aunt that would sneak you beer at the family picnic. However, in the case of the DeArmond, her choice to be straight-edge would probably be at odds with encouraging drinking. A cool aunt that would sneak you porn might be more fitting description.
Her first boxcover came out this weekTake It Black 4so we got her on the phone and gave her the ol' HustlerWorld interview treatment. She didn't seem to mind. In fact, we think she kind of liked it.
We recently got HUSTLER's newest contract girl, Mya Luanna, on the phone while she was busy preparing to feature dance in New York. After our phone call we understand why she was chosen to represent the brand. Whip-smart, sensual and up for (almost) anything, this Thai transplant is no ordinary porn starlet. In fact, we found ourselves struggling to keep up at several points during the conversation.
Maybe it was her voice. Maybe it was the picture we were looking at when we were talking to her. Maybe we were still drunk from the night before. Whatever the reason, we found ourselves sucked in by this petite beauty's charms and sophistication. We're confident that adult fans world-wide are going to feel the same way.
We'll be the first to admit that we're lucky. Our job requires us to talk with unbelievably attractive women on an almost daily basis. However, some women in the adult industry make our professional life hell. They completely sever the tie between our brain and our mouth. Crissy Moran is one of those women.
Come on. Just look at her picture. You'd be at a loss for words too.
Crissy will be performing with Angie Savage during this month's HustlerLive (April 27th, 5pm, PST). In preparation for the event, we got Ms. Moran to answer some questions for us via E-mail.
Just the thought of her sitting at a computer, responding to our queries is enough to give us a stroke.
Bad intel yesterday caused us to make a 45 minute trip to the set of Shy Love's "Mass Destruction" only to be met by a confused homeowner asking if we were T.T. Boy. While we don't know whether to take this as an insult or a compliment, we do know that our drive back to the office was expletive- and cigarette-filled. (Editor's Note: At least the intelligence you received didn't cause you to start a war.)
Upon our triumphantalbeit grumpyreturn, we were informed that Shy Love was actually in the offices here in Beverly Hills. As Shy later informed us, filming had wrapped for the shoot last Friday. We love her candor when it comes to the industry, so we took the opportunity to ask her about the production.
VCA and Eroticist Films' "Atomic Vixens: Escape From the Valley of the Sluts" is hitting shelves tomorrow. We got our little paws on an advanced copy and all we can say is, "Wowie wow wow wow." We may be biasedVCA is owned by LFPbut everything about this movie spells "hit". Its got a completely unique sense of visual style. It boasts a totally original soundtrack from bands on MySpace (Editors Note: This is a first for an adult production. More on this later). And, most importantly, it features some of our favorite girls (Vivid Girl Lacie Heart, Justine Joli and Tyler Houston) doing what they do best.
We caught up with the perpertually busy fan of metaphors, Ron Royster. During our time together, we spoke of his penchant for quest directors, using MySpace to create a soundtrack and his distaste for traffic in Los Angeles.
When we first met Justine Joli, we were on the set of first-time director Cat Purcel's "Alpha 15: Big Sister and the Trial of Emily Labore". While porceline-skinned redheads usually aren't our thingit has something to do with Moses and the whole idea of the burning bushwe couldn't help becoming smitten with this Missouri native.
What struck us about this copper-haired beauty wasn't the amazing scene she filmed that day, but how incredibly articulate she was when we sat down for a little chat. She knew just what she wanted to say and just how to say it. We really hate to admit this, but we had a hard time keeping up.
Justine was nice enough to give us a call the other day so we could continue our conversation. She let us grill her about her start in the business, her cool-as-ice mom and her ever-growing role in the "Alt Porn" universe.
HustlerWorld's got a rough life. Not only are we made to watch hours and hours and hours of hardcore porn on a daily basis, but we're forced to be around women like Tera Patrick. We ran into FHM's 57th sexiest woman for 2006 the other week on the set of her choose your own adventure-style feature, tentatively titled "inTERActive".
To say that this woman is good at what she does is like saying Tiger Woods is decent at golf or George W. Bush is only marginally stupid. Watching her work was a truly unique experience. During still photographs, the effortless posing she demonstrated is a skill only a seasoned performer could have. It probably helps when every side is your good side. During the movie's filming, we were struck by how easily she both recalled and delivered her lines. For the first time in our illustrious career, we weren't bored to tears by watching dialogue. Hell, she could have been reading a phone book and we would have enjoyed it.
A tight shooting schedule kept us from chatting at any length that day, but Tera was nice enough to answer some questions via E-mail.
There are very few women in adult entertainment that make us as nervous as Angie Savage. It's not that we think she's going to ruin our credit (college already did that) or steal our stuff when we're not looking. No, these nerves are more of the Charlie Brown/Little Redheaded Girl variety. And, believe it or not, her looks (even though she's drop-dead gorgeous) aren't the reason we get tongue-tied. It's that she's just so incredibly nice.
From her demure demeanor to her adorable voice to her relationship with just-as-nice husband Devon, everything about her screams "soccer mom" not "rock'n'roll sex goddess". We can easily imagine her volunteering in soup kitchens, adopting wayward kittens and heading up her neighborhood watch group. She's that nice.
We recently caught up with Mrs. Savage and spoke about her upcoming HustlerLive performance with Crissy Moran, how she got started in the business and why having Devon around makes life a little easier. Then, taking a cue from that greasy, bearded blowhard, James Lipton (host of "Inside the Actor's Studio"), we finished our chat with the Pivot Questionnaire.
You may not know the name Octavio C. Arizala, but you've most likely seen his work. He's been lucky enough to be the lensman for adult legend Tera Patrick, fetish queen Masuimi Max and countless other drool-worthy babes (both of the adult and non-adult variety).
Picking up a camera only 4 years ago, Octavio seems to be everywhere these days. January saw the publication of his first book, Modern Vixens: World of WinkyTiki. This month, he makes his first credited appeareance as a guest director in an adult film, Atomic Vixens: Escape From the Valley of the Sluts. And, if that wasn't enough to put him on your adult entertainment radar, he just finished filming his first movie for Vivid, "The Rebel Rousers".
When we got Octavio on the phone the other week, we discussed everything from the origins of the WinkyTiki aesthetic, shooting porn and Masuimi Max's first appearance in an adult feature.
Read the interview in its entirety, after the jump...
When we sat down with comedian and "King of Queens" regular Patton Oswalt, we didn't know quite what to expect. There's nothing worse than interviewing a comedian who's "on" and wants to perform the entire time. This is espcially true if one is suffering a particularly nasty hangover.
We're not saying that we were nursing the results of too much Scotch and not enough sleep, but our head appreciated Patton's more cerebral take on the art of making people laugh. Our conversation involved everything from political awareness, the current state of comedy and, of course, pornography.
(Editor's note: This is the first in what will become a series of interviews with mainstream actors, comedians and musicians. Stay tuned to HustlerWorld for more!)
HustlerWorld recently had the opportunity to sit down with reigning alt-porn queen and East Coaster, Joanna Angel. Her ever-expanding site, BurningAngel, is home to a bevvy of similarly tattooed, stylish and progressive women.
Following her in-store appearance at the Hustler Hollywood store on Sunset, we spoke about her upcoming movies, her take on the "alt porn" movement and her bid for public office.
Did you have fun at your signing tonight?
I did, I had fun. I like to sign things.
Uh
It reminds me of when I was younger and I used to do graffiti.
You did graffiti?
I was never really good at it. I was just rowdy when I was younger. I just liked to write my name on things.
