Our leading lady was kind enough to sit down and answer a few questions for us at the beginning of the new year as she prepares to launch the latest and third addition to her solo girl site portfolio (managed under her online affiliate program Porn Valley Cash). She spoke to us about her personal and professional life as well as her ambitions for both in front of and behind the camera in the coming year and ahead.
I started modelling when I was just 3 years old. So when I left school it seemed the most natural thing for me to do was go into full time modelling rather than go and do anything else.
I have been in the adult industry since I turned 18 years old back in 2001. I always wanted to be a Page 3 girl in the UK (ED: Many of the popular tabloid newspapers in the UK feature topless model features on Page 3, most notably 'The Sun'). So when I turned of age I joined a few different glamour model agencies in the UK and quickly became popular. I never got featured on Page 3 due to age restrictions (even though 16 years old is the legal age for topless modelling in the UK, the papers were not doing it and I think they dont do under 18 shoots any more)
I'm not quite sure what I would of done in life if I hadnt joined the adult industry. After leaving high school I was meant to go to college to study law. But my heart really wasnt in it and thats why I decided to go the route that I have.
I was contacted by a Penthouse Photographer who had seen my online portfolio. He asked if I would be interested in doing a shoot for Penthouse. And of course I said yes who wouldn't! So I went over to LA to do the shoot. I then realised there was so much work in LA for me compared to back in the UK where the industry isn't anything like it is here, so I ended up moving here.
I have lived in Los Angeles, CA and Scottsdale, AZ. I have visited a lot of places while touring with Penthouse Magazine. It would be actually be easier to answer where i haven't been LOL I've pretty much covered most of the US, but i haven't really been to many places in the NW of the USA as there isn't much industry actions going on up there.
Penthouse was the first thing i did when i moved to the US. Id say it really helped my career. It instantly gives you a name and opens doors then may not be normally open for you. Plus its nice that your rates go up for photoshoots ;-)
My fave models to work with is Aria Giovanni, Jamie Lynn (who lives in the really near me!) and Melissa Jacobs
Famous Glamour Photographers, like Suze Randall (who runs suze.net), Stephen Hicks and Carl Wachter
Well of course the one and only Jenna Jameson!!!!!!
The funny thing is i seem to get recognized most at airports, im not sure why that is. Maybe cause im always travelling around to different places for both business and pleasure
Well the cons are you just have to be careful, as there are alot of people that are waiting and willing to take advantage of you. The pros, if you are beautiful, professional and friendly you can do very well in this industry and go far.
I did some mainstream magazines and TV in the UK. Like FHM (a 'lads mag'), Marie Claire, Loaded magazines. And just small parts in British TV shows, Eastenders, The Bill and Burnside and a few TV Commercials.
After i shot with Penthouse, alot of other girls, told me i should get a website up. My website launched in December 2002 the same time as my Penthouse issue went on the stands. I spend about 3 hours a day working on my personal site at this time to get it all established.
I do alot of camshows for my website. I also log into my chat room and forum daily to chat to my members. That's something other sites dedicated to me obviously don't have and I think it is one of the reasons why my site has been so successful because a lot of members want to be able to communicate with the girl they are looking at.
Yes, it increased my traffic alot. Its funny when Howard was still playing on E, I knew every time they had repeated my show by just seeing how my stats had gone up so dramatically.
Porn Valley Cash is a relatively new program. Its been up and a running since about May 2006. I dont promote it much right now, as i want to add more sites and make it a great affiliate program first. I decided to set it up as i was fed up of putting my site into different programs, plus i wanted to get into the single girl site market more
Kristina had already done some work in the industry before i met her. She had been messed about before though, like a lot of new girls who come into the industry and don't know who to approach it. So I took her under my wing and we now work together.
We are about to launch NikkiKane.com, another beautiful blonde, who has also been featured in Penthouse. We are very excited to be launching Nikkis website, as she very dedicated to the site and keep it updated just as well as my personal site has been since its launch.
To make it a great program and attractive for webmasters and surfers to want to sign up and see what I'm all about!!!!!
Still working in the adult industry ;-)
As a final note, we'd like to thank Martina for her time in conducting this interview, her thorough answers to all the questions we posed and wish her the best of success with her program in 2007.
