W! What would you want to be written in your obit, or on your gravestone? Oriana Small (Photo by Dave Naz) She has co-hosted Playboy TV’s Night Calls Hotline, [1] hosted her own Vivid Radio show, and written for Hustler magazine. [4] AVN Award for Best All-Girl Sex Scene (Video) – The Violation of Audrey Hollander (with Audrey Hollander, Gia Paloma, Tyla Wynn, Brodi, & Kelly Kline) [15] W! As far as “degeneracy” goes, you never played around with the solo, girl/girl, softcore stuff. You went straight for hardcore, performing acts on camera that many people find degrading. But your book seemed to me to imply that any degradation you felt came not from your sex acts, but from the emotional manipulation you went through off screen. What is it, do you think, that draws you to such extremes in both your on-camera persona and off-camera emotional state?

I think the other girls are far better at it than me though. I’m really not mainstream enough in porn to fit in well with that group. Oriana Small, aka Ashley Blue, had a mother who didn't care whether she drank, smoked, had sex, or took drugs. Mostly because she did all those things herself. Her mother had multiple partners most of whom regarded Oriana from a prurient rather than paternal view. I couldn't relate to being estranged from my family and I found some of her attitudes towards sex strange ( like the idea of having sex with her mom's boyfriend - she considered that creepy and incestuous ). It bothered me that she allowed herself to be actually humiliated in some of her scenes. There's this whole revenge theme in some porn that I hate. I guess every loser who can't get laid can get vicarious revenge by watching a woman get humiliated. The thing is, after the movie is over, you're still a loser who's not getting laid. I suppose that keeps you from killing yourself...but the 'humiliation' should be simulated. Sex should be fun. The perversity of porn is that the sex is not simulated which I get - but still I draw the line at women being forced to do humiliating things. That's the problem I see with having porn be your sole source of income. You'd feel pressured to do things you don't find fun just because you need the money.a b Rutter, Jared (January 9, 2005).

W! What do you think of the current move toward features and parodies in the industry? Good or bad? Any interest, yourself, in doing feature roles with acting? In 2003, Blue sued ex-boyfriend and fellow former adult film star Trent Tesoro on an episode of Judge Mathis. [10] OS/AB My story takes you through the exciting, seedy, druggy, hardcore side of porn. There is nothing left to wonder about the life of a young porno girl after you read this. There is no glamour in this book, so you are completely informed. There is a lot of value to that. Many people have asked me about what it’s “really” like. I think because they have not gotten all the good, gross, grimy details that we all know are there. My book is the one that fulfills the honesty, respecting what makes porn lives fascinating in the first place.It's certainly not a way to get rich. What money we didn’t spend on coke went into the pill fund. Even before the porno started, Tyler and I would foolishly buy “E” pills with what little money we had to spare. I remembered simpler days when Tyler and I were so broke that we lived off of frozen edamame and ice cream. That is when you really feel in love for the first time, when you’re poor. We had nothing but each other for comfort and entertainment. It was a beautiful time. Now we had all of this money. Overnight, we had instant success in the porno business and could buy as many drugs as we wanted. We were still young and had our looks, too. The party never had to end. There were many different people who sold us drugs. Tyler always found someone with stuff for sale. He was like a divining rod in a crowd. W! I was very impressed with your ability to write a memoir that showed every side of your emotions as you went through extremes, both physical and emotional, without putting much of an op-ed spin on it. You’re telling the story like it was, but not trying to exhort your readers to feel any particular way about it. What do you expect them to feel in response? W! Do you think Max Hardcore made performance art? If he continues making movies when he’s released, what are the chances you’ll work for him?

OS/AB I am all about this book. I will be traveling to promote Girlvert. Recording the audio version right now, so Girlvert will be a book on tape! Then I’m planning to do some podcasts of my own. Writing another book. Will be putting together a graphic novel. And continuously making, showing and selling artwork. Getting into the porn industry almost on a whim, and encouraged by her boyfriend, it provided fast and relatively easy money which they needed to fuel their cocaine habit which in turn was fueled by the industry's need for her to be always up and willing. Lots of details of the porn industry. Not a pretty scene and one begins to hate Tyler, her boyfriends, a weak, lily-livered SOB, for getting her into it. Not that she was completely unwilling. One interesting tidbit, Not a lot of directors like to shoot real couples having sex on film. Couples tend to bring all of their relationship problems into the sex scene and feelings always get hurt. Tyler and I were one of those couples. I preferred to wait until we got in the car to fight, but he liked to slam bathroom doors and pull me aside in front of the other porn people. We would be standing just a couple of feet away from the camera, naked with tears in our eyes, arguing about the amount of love I actually had for him. Every little thing he did at home to irritate me got dragged into the scene. OS/AB I’m too fat to work for Max. I think he has a certain type of girl that fit best in his starring roles, and I am not quite up to par. But if he would agree to be in a Girlvert… that is a different story… He is a crazy performing artist! I love watching him and that’s really all I need to call him a performance artist. It’s not like studying hard and being a lawyer or doctor. W! You recently released a book, Girlvert: A Porno Memoir, about your life and times in the world of hardcore porn. What made you decide to write about your experiences? W! I was intrigued that, in the book, most of the way through, you talked about morality and perversion in surprisingly traditional ways and placed yourself squarely into the perverted camp, claiming little in the way of moral rectitude. But doesn’t part of you feel that maybe it’s the rest of the world that’s screwed up morally? You’ve created a life for yourself based on your sexual performances and “perversion.” Do you think maybe it’s the ones wearing the morality police t-shirts that should be considered immoral for calling you the pervert and the degenerate, but still wanting to see the things you do badly enough to sponsor your career through their consumer dollars?ORIANA SMALL aka ASHLEY BLUE I started being curious about sex at thirteen. That was my break through year. Before that, I was only interested in animals and drawing. I was never molested either. Last week we brought you a review of Oriana Small aka Ashley Blue’s new book, Girlvert: A Porno Memoir . Our reviewer, Miss Lagsalot, was so intrigued by the book that she immediately hunted down its author, multi-AVN winner and Girlvert Ashley Blue, known in real life as Oriana Small, for a chat about memoirs, life, performance art, and extreme sex.
