BLOOD, SUGAR, SEX, SASHA


Out of the zillions of porn "actors" out there Sasha Grey is a real fave.

If you've seen any of the pornography she's been in then you know she isn't just one of the bottle blonde, silicon chested ditzes but a real performer with how interestingly she pushes deviance in her, um, roles.

Aside from this though her body of work in the arts just totally escalates as she proceeds.

She was 18 when she started in porn and quickly got a reputation for excellence in an industry littered with brain dead actors:

In May 2006 Grey moved to Los Angeles and started her career in adult films just after turning 18.[3] Originally she toyed with the name Anna Karina[3] (the name of Jean-Luc Godard's ex-wife) before deciding on her present name. She has stated the name "Sasha" was taken from Sascha Konietzko of the band KMFDM,[2] and "Grey" represents Oscar Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray[6] and the Kinsey scale of sexuality.[2] Her first scene was an orgy with Rocco Siffredi for The Fashionistas 2 by John Stagliano. She "shocked" her fellow performer by requesting to be punched in the stomach during fellatio.

Wow, right?

She's confessed to reading tons of existentialist lit and happily, adroitly talks on the debate of the human condition vis a vis sexuality in press interviews. She does industrial music with ATelecine. She's appeared in The Smashing Pumpkin's "Superchirst" vid.


She also stars in two upcoming releases. One of them is the Canadian indie horror film Smash Cut



. . .And a Steven Soderbergh art-film titled The Girlfriend Experience where she plays a high class prostitute



Why do I mention all this? Likely because I've just gotten the ball rolling on the upcoming graphic novel and have been talking to the artist for hours about how the style should be erotic-grotesque or sexually gory.

And I just really, really like Sasha's stuff.
