“I was really busty even at 12, and you either look like your grandma wearing a moo-moo or you look like a ho because everything you wear is not fitted for you. When I got caught with the Deacon’s son, we had to have a sit-down meeting, and they basically said it was the way I dressed—me being sinful and me inciting lust in them.”
Gore Gore Girl writes, “I chatted with Dana Vespoli, who I consider one of the most refreshing and dynamic directors to have emerged in the last couple of years. I have been aware of Dana Vespoli the performer for a long while–known for her beautiful butt (beautiful everything), engaged and enthusiastic performances, and for being married to Manuel Ferrara. More recently, Dana has steamrolled onto my radar as an exciting new director for Evil Angel and Sweetheart Video, producing impressive vignette and feature films such as Girl/Boy and Hollywood Babylon.”
Gore Gore Girl writes, “I recently had the privilege of speaking with porn star, novelist, musician, blogger, activist, scholar (I could go on), Danny Wylde. Danny is one of my “go-to” performers in modern porn. There’s something about his intelligence and obvious civic engagement that infuse his performances with a tangible human presence that I don’t find in many other male performers. Yes, I find civic engagement sexy. Don’t you? We sat down to talk about sexual politics, alt porn, subcultures, porn studies, and a whole lot more.”
Getting into porn? “I had always been drawn to the adult industry, from the time I was an adolescent and noticed the marquees at Times Square for adult films, or would sneak a dirty magazine from under my parents’ bed. I was intrigued by the women, because they seemed so different from any I knew in real life; e.g., my mother and my friends’ moms. Also the strange mixture of fear, desire and anger that women in the sex industry aroused in people was very intriguing to me.”
On forbidden themes: “I like the older/younger dynamic and I like as many layers of forbidden and taboo attraction as possible. The teacher/student, the step-parent and step-son or daughter, even depicting truly incestuous relationships, if I could get away with it… In my mind, exploring forbidden themes that we either can’t or don’t want to explore in real life is what porn is really all about.”
