a little bit harder

Tell us a little about your past – where are you from? What jobs did you have before getting into porn?

I had a good childhood, a loving family and I never went without anything that I needed. When I was in high school I had a part time job at a retirement home for about 2 1/2 years, that was a very insightful and humbling experience. After graduating I was waitressing at Buffalo Wild Wings which was not my favorite job for sure, at the time I was also doing some promo modeling. I was offered a contract with several modeling agencies in Miami but I didn’t feel confident about it so I declined, if I could go back in time I would have made a different choice. I guess it all worked out because shortly before leaving my waitressing job I meet a sexy couple who got me started in webcamming.

How did you become involved in the adult industry?

I had been webcamming for a few months then I was contacted through my Facebook page about doing adult modeling. I actually got tricked into thinking it was just nude modeling, I did not find out until I showed up on set that it was actually adult video / porn.

How did you decide to do your first DP? Was it an idea of your own, or was it part of the pitch made to you by the movie’s director?

I had been wanting to do a DP for a while in my personal life but you would be surprised how difficult it is to find the perfect guys to do it with in the “civilian” world. So after talking to several companies I decided Evil Angel was the right company to shoot it for and I was right and so my first DP on or off camera was filmed for my Evil Angel showcase.

Could you talk about the challenges of filming a DP scene? Are they particularly difficult to shoot?

It surprisingly very easy, I didn’t face anything difficult while doing it. I was nervous of course because I’m so little and I wasn’t sure how it was going to feel but it was one of the most amazing scenes I have ever done and I have been craving it ever since.

The movie is billed as capturing your “evolution” as a star. Could you tell us how this movie conveys that evolution, and also how you’ve evolved overall during your career?

One of my goals for this year was to give my fans more of the dirty girl I truly am. So often I am still cast as the sweet, and innocent one and I am not even given the option to really push myself sexually, I knew Evil Angel would give me that opportunity. Do not think for a minute I am done, I am ready to start filming my next film A Lot More Deeper.

Were you involved in the post-production and editing of the movie?

Actually I was only involved with picking the talent and a photo for the box cover. Evil Angel always does a great job with post-production and editing, I knew that when I decided to shoot the movie with them.

Tell us about your co-stars in Ariana Marie: A Little Bit Harder. Have you worked with any of them before?

I am so grateful to all my co-stars, no doubt that they were a major part of the movies success. Before this project I had only worked with Marcus and Steve once and it was my first time working with all the other co-stars. I liked it that way because I wanted to do the DP with guys I trusted and that would “work hard” to make the DP scene epic and I think the anticipation of working with new performers in the other scenes came across well.

What’s your favorite scene from the movie?

Of course the DP was my favorite scene in the movie but I am very happy with all the scenes. I will say that my anal scene with Small Hands was very passionate and rough just the way I like it. We had been wanting to fuck each other for awhile so I was glad to let him have his way with me.

Had you watched any of Evil Angel’s previous star showcases, and if so, which ones stood out to you?

I watched several of Evil Angel’s star showcases but the one that stood out to me the most was: Adriana Chechik Is The Squirt Queendirected by Toni Ribas. I have always thought of her as one of the most stunning and aggressive performers in the industry and she really shows it in that movie and Toni Ribas did an excellent job capturing it.

Beautiful tan lines are one of your signature features. Have they always been a part of your look?

I have always had tan lines and it has definitely become part of “my” look. I enjoy reminding my fans that I am exposing parts of myself for them that the men and women at the beach wish they got to see!

Talk about being a Penthouse Pet. Is the atmosphere on a Penthouse photoshoot different from the photoshoots you do for porn?

First let me say that it was an honor to be chosen as a Penthouse Pet and yes the atmosphere on their sets is truly amazing.They go out of there way to make you feel very comfortable and to have you looking your absolute best. Of course all the big companies try and achieve the same vibe but there is something extra special about a Penthouse Pet photoshoot.

Since entering the industry what do you feel has changed the most?

Some of the most significant changes I have seen in the adult film industry since I started would be the shrinking amount of adult producers and the shift to Live content, which is funny considering I started as a cam model. It takes a lot more work and business savvy now to make a fraction of the money that a lot of us made without much effort 5 years ago.

Where do you see your evolution as a pornstar taking you next?

I think it is normal and wise for performers to make their way to working more behind the camera as they get older, so I am already working on that as well as focusing more attention to my overall mental and physical well-being so that I can continue to look and feel my best in front of the camera. Oh and many other surprises I am not going to tell you yet, but stay tuned in, it will be worth it!
