Alix Lakehurst: Real Porn from Chicago [Interview]
Posted at 3:39 PM Aug 06, 2008
Chicago-based adult model and writer Alix Lakehurst blogs and hocs her wares on her website We Could Be Naked. She's an interesting and honest voice in the adult industry - well worth reading, and not just because she shows off her boobs a lot.
Naked City editor Audacia Ray asked Alix about entering the porn biz in her 30s, being curvy, working in Chicago, and being an exhibitionist.
Audacia Ray: You came into modeling and the porn business later in life than the average porn girl – what drew you to the business? When you were in your early twenties, did you think you'd be doing porn in your thirties?
Alix Lakehurst: I spent my 20's drinking, smoking pot and doing coke. This sounds bad. I grew up in a very stable family, my parents loved me but I was always rebellious. The addiction came way before my foray into porn. I didn't start porn because I was raped, beaten, or abandoned. In fact my main decision to start getting naked was when I was completely sober.
Around 30 I met Mike McPadden- the one and only Selwyn Harris- who edits Mr Skin here in Chicago. He loved the way I talked very dirty. I was uninhibited, loved running around naked and getting my picture taken. I started writing for him.
I landed a coveted interview with Christy Canyon and couldn't believe how beautiful and centered she was. I met my porn idol, and I felt a kinship with her immediately.
Growing up with big boobs, I wasn't fond of them. But she made them sexy and real. I blogged my journey to that interview on Road to Christy Canyon and occasionally showed the comparison of our breasts. My popularity grew and I started We Could Be Naked. The modeling and porn offers followed. I don't work every day in fact I'm lucky if I get a paid job a month but I have no problem having a staple on my belly button. I mostly work on my site and what I want to accomplish with it.
To answer your question, in my twenties, I thought I'd be dead by my thirties.
Three more questions and their answers, plus more pictures, after the jump.
