FANZINE: You're a new porn participant, but you've received a very enthusiastic response it seems. What do you think it takes to make a good porn star?

GREY: There is no true definition of a “good porn star.” Everybody wants something different. In my opinion, it should be one who understands their sexuality while continually exploring it. All porn stars should care about their fans, their appearance, and the quality of their work.

FANZINE: Yeah, guess asking what makes a good porn star is the same thing as asking what makes good writing. Somewhere you call yourself, I think, a "sex junkie." Explain.

GREY: Actually, it’s “Fuck Junkie”. The term fuck defines an abrasive way of having sex; it pulverizes the idea of making love. I don’t want to make love––I want to fuck. I fiend for intense sex that I can share with one, one hundred, one thousand, or even a million people. I hunger to explore my own sexuality, finding sicker ways to get off psychologically and physically.

The titles I dreamt up for this column aren’t as colorful as the names of Sasha’s movies, so I've decided to open the decision making process to you, the reader. Send ideas to brandon@thefanzine.com. If your title is selected, you'll win your choice of a number of prizes.

Grand prize: Sasha has happily agreed to make a mix CD “with some original xxxtra content.” A couple weeks ago, I asked her what she was listening to since relocating to Los Angeles and she told me: "Boxes still unpacked, but this week I pulled some CD's out: Aphex Twin, Dead Kennedy's, The Damned, Bjork, KMFDM, Skinny Puppy. Next week?" Checking back, it was the Smiths, Mt. Egypt, Einsturzende Neubauten, and a bunch of The Cure reissues.

Second prize: Your choice of a free gift package from Joe Gallant’s Black Mirror Productions (for fans of gritty, ambitious, NYC, mostly hetero porn) or Michael Lucas’s Lucas Entertainment (for fans of glossy, ambitious NYC gay porn). Hell, you can have both. Black Mirror just finished Avenue X for Hustler/VCA and Lucas Entertainment continues to wow with a forthcoming remake of La Dolce Vita. For more info on these companies go to www.myspace.com/blackmirrornyc & www.lucasentertainment.com, respectively. (In the meantime, in an attempt to offer smut for all orientations, I'll find a lesbian (or at least girl/girl) company willing to offer some goodies.)
