OS/AB I want people to keep making movies, no matter what. 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.

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. Oriana Small (Photo by Dave Naz) OS/AB The merits of extreme porn are higher than any other kind of porn. I was definitely the right girl in the right place when I was doing it all the time. It’s more entertaining. We are just a facet of entertainment. Harder and weirder just impresses me more. But that is just my opinion. I am not trying to force that on anyone else, because it is wrong to do that. I have respect for other people’s interests. 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? 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 will be showing new work in an art show at The Hive Gallery on Aug. 6th. Downtown L.A. More on my blog soon. There are some contradictions. Her story of her mother and stepfathers (her birth father deserted them before her teen years) seeming disregard for her behavior conflicts with this paragraph, However, as gut-wrenching as the idea of my family’s reaction to pornography was, it wasn’t as powerful as the allure. I have never been a good kid. I’ve always liked being bad. I practiced smoking cigarettes in the mirror when I was thirteen and was the first girl to have sex in the eighth grade. I was suspended on my first day of high school for smoking, then again for wearing too short a miniskirt. I knew of better ways to behave, but they were not what I preferred. Breaking the rules was much more exciting. Porn was attractive because I knew it was bad. I didn’t know how I could ever face my aunts, uncles, cousins, and sister afterward, or if my actions would force them to stop loving me. I would be a bigger sinner to them, for sure. None of them would believe that this was the best I could do, or that it would make me happy. These relatives all helped raise me when my own parents failed. I didn’t want to disappoint them. But disappointment was inevitable. It felt like I was choosing porn over family, and my old life was ending. OS/AB I always felt bad about myself, for not doing anything right. Not even being born right, to the right people, etc. So, I never tried very hard to follow rules. I never had any. It was a bummer to feel so low as a kid, like a degenerate, but I just went with it. And it made me more free. That freedom is what I cherish most in life now. I have learned to love that about myself. W! You played the Girlvert, and called the performance one of the greatest accomplishments of your life. Performance art. Do you think its relevance was recognized by many outside the industry?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. W! You made a very strong case in your book for the freedom of expression in pornography, as regarded an obscenity case brought against JM Productions. What’s been your take on your friend Max Hardcore’s incarceration, Ira Isaac’s impending trial, and so on? What’s the deal? Is the government trying to shut down porn, or just put on a good show to the moral majority? 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?
