Dana DeArmond isn’t kidding when she says she is the Internet’s girlfriend. Before even taking her place in front of the porno industry video cameras, DeArmond had already wowed a dedicated fan base of more than 830,000 MySpace friends and cemented her place in adult history by changing the way that performers and fans communicate, treating fans as peers/friends and not just people who are paying to watch her get off. Along with a couple hundred movies under her belt, DeArmond has rocked the director’s chair as well, bringing her unique fan interactions – and new faces – to the Vivid screen. All in all, this awesomely alt/mainstream/fetish/what-have-you porno princess is fabulous to watch, follow and totally enjoy.
1. How (and when) did you get started in the industry?
My first shoot was for hogtied.com in Feb. 2004. I had applied to kink.com because I was interested in being on fuckingmachines.com and they hired me immediately for bondage shoots on their network of sites.
2. If you weren’t in the adult industry, what would you be doing?
I would be working in some sort of entertainment. I’ve been a performer my entire life, I couldn’t imagine doing something different. Read the rest of this entry »

Lexi Love is a jack of many trades. Before entering the porno biz, Love entertained in a totally different venue – in Walt Disney World, as Micky, Minne and Winnie the Poo! And this is after she studied Chemical Engineering! Pretty hot, right? Gotta love a smart cookie! These days Lexi Love is rocking the mic, guest singing on a collaborative music project by Team Cybergeist, along with bringing us a ton of fabulously sexy scenes. All that AND hot porn – I think there may just be a connection between being multifaceted and inspiring multiple orgasms…
1. How (and when) did you get started in the industry?
I was having sex with a guy in SF who did porn and he asked if I wanted to do porn. Sept 04 is when I started.
2. If you weren’t in the adult industry, what would you be doing?
I’m not sure what I would be doing if it wasn’t for porn. I was in college trying to figure out what I wanted to do when I got in to the adult industry.

One of the my favorite things about the queer porn explosion is that there are more and more opportunities for stars like today’s featured performer Puck Goodfellow. When I first saw him in action in Speakeasy, I was immediately drawn to his energy, and I suppose that tight little body didn’t hurt either!
Of course, it turns out there’s a lot more to Mr. Goodfellow than meets the eye, so we asked him to take the time to fill out our 20 question interview. You don’t want to miss the results!
1. How (and when) did you get started in the industry?
I got involved just this year, July I think, with Courtney Trouble doing a shoot for No Fauxxx. Courtney Trouble started working at Babeland with me and I told her I loved porn and her site and I wanted to be in porn some day and she offered me my first modeling job. I started working at Babeland, a women owned and queer operated sex toy distributor warehouse in Oakland California, three years ago. I have been doing sex-related work and sex education for 3 years and I just this year started doing porn.
2. If you weren’t in the adult industry, what would you be doing?
I am doing everything I want to be doing except traveling. I paint and make art and music and dance and play. I eventually want to live on a farm in a tree house that I build and take care of goats and chickens.

The first time I saw Cyd in Roulette, I was smitten. Within days, he started popping up every where I looked – at the crash pad, on the cover of the first issue of Original Plumbing and in the promo images I downloaded for Courtney Trouble’s Speakeasy. I decided I had to know more, so I sent him an email and discovered that there’s a lot more to my latest crush than his boi-ish good looks!
Now that you’re done drooling over those smokin’ hot images, check out what Cyd has to say about working in adult, trans identity and super powers!

Here comes Trouble… with a digital video camera in tow. Courtney Trouble that is, queer porn director and star extraordinaire. The San Francisco-based Trouble has been making a name for herself since 2002, with the creation of her baby NoFauxxx.com (now the oldest running queer porn site on the web) and in more recent years as she has taken the reins on a bunch of avant-garde feminist porno flicks.
When she’s not accepting awards and accolades (including SF Guardian’s 2009 Best of the Bay Queer Porn and a Feminist Porn Award for “Most Deliciously Diverse Cast”), Trouble is behind the camera, giving direction to some of the hottest stars to grace the porno screen, including Jiz Lee, Syd Blakovich and April Flores, to name a few. Her first movie, Roulette, has just hit HotMovies4Her and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this fabulously fierce femme queer pornographer and the super hot fruits of her labor.
1. How (and when) did you get started in the industry?
I’m not exactly sure when my involvement with making feminist, queer imagery became an involvement in the adult industry, because at first it was an art project focusing on expressing “real” desires to equalize my experiences as a full-time fantasy-based (aka not-real) phone sex operator. I can’t pinpoint a decisive moment when I realized that No Fauxxx was a breathing entity in the porn industry. Except maybe right now, with my first film being released world-wide on a mainstream (and yet, extremely sex-positive!) level with Good Releasing, and is being reviewed and promoted by people like Fleshbot, Hot Movies For Her, and even AVN. Since the release of Roulette in July, I have been very busy creating my second, third, forth, and fifth films for Good Releasing (Nostalgia out now, Speakeasy out now, Seven Minutes In Heaven out October, Roulette: Dirthy South out November).
2. If you weren’t in the adult industry, what would you be doing?
I was 18 when I started doing phone sex, working from home. I taught myself web design and digital photo editing and printing in my down time during my 4-5 years. I went to school for photography, I actually have two degrees. I think if I weren’t lucky enough to be surviving (meagerly) off my art, I would still be doing something with photography or web design more commercially.

Elexis Monroe is your total girl next door… sweet, bubbly and the kind of foxy lady you hope gardens in her short shorts. With her mischievous smile and sultry moves, Elexis rocks the lady lovin’ socks off of whomever she touches and makes love to the camera with little effort. She is equally adorable and sexy all around.
After heating up the porno screen as a staple for Girlfriends Films and other top lesbian studios, Monroe signed on with Sweetheart Video earlier this year as their first ever contract star! Her first feature with them should be out later in the year. In the meantime, see what she has to say about porn bloopers, sushi and animal rights and be sure to check out her awesome movies here on HM4Her.
1. How (and when) did you get started in the industry?
I first started about 10 years ago. I walked into World Modeling after I saw their ad in the newspaper. I thought it was for figure modeling, which to me at the time was Victoria Secret sort of stuff. I walked in, looked around and noticed all the pictures around me were of females mostly naked. I thought ‘okay no biggie.’ I took a few test shots and was handed a list of 10 main contacts. It went from there. I started with magazine shoots, solo modeling gigs, which later progressed to Girl-Girl Sex Movies : ) Years later, here we are.
2. If you weren’t in the adult industry, what would you be doing?
Working with animals or a photographer. I love them both more than life and both are huge inspirations and passions to me. Truth is, after I graduated from college, my plan was to become a Fish & Game Warden for California. : ) Imagine that. Me with a gun, sort of.

Long before there was a marketplace of women making dirty movies for women, there was Candida Royalle. Just about 25 years ago, Royalle moved from in front of the camera to behind the lens and began creating porn she was interested in watching with her studio, Femme Productions. Considered a rock star by lady porn lovers (including us HM4Her gals), Candida was one of the first to start releasing movies made from a woman’s voice and created with women viewers in mind. Without her vision and perseverance, ‘for women, by women’ porn might never have taken off like it has, and we might not even exist. So thanks, Candida!
And because Candida was a pioneer of the field and fought on the forefront of female porn, the woman has a lot of wonderful memories and stories! So to let us take a glimpse of the past and experience all Candida has to say, we’ve broken her interview into four parts, complete with some of her personal pictures from other the years!
Look for the four parts of Candida’s interview, posting on Monday’s and be sure to check out part one, part two and part three!

Along with being the queen of women’s porn, Royalle wears quite a number of different tiaras, including being the first erotic filmmaker to have been invited to become a member of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), as well as a celebrated sex toy designer with her Natural Contours line of discreet, high-style toys.
