Maja, She-Wolf of Vancouver Porn
A Conversation with Maja Lee
By The Ultimate Degenerate

_____________________________________________________________________________________

As any perv in the know will tell you, the adult industry in Canada is a snow-frosted hotbed of stunning and whipsmart gals (need proof? Check out our interviews with Tristan Risk and Elsa Bangz) dead set on carving out their own corner of the porn market by their own terms. One Vancouver actress/entrepreneur who’s beating major-league paths to the black and festering heart of the American porn industry as well as creating her own “empire” (her own words) of amateur paysites in her native land. That’s Maja Lee, 100 pounds of blistering sexual energy whose take-no-prisoners attitude carries over to both her on-camera gymnastics and her business practices.

Since 2002, the tattooed temptress has appeared on as a grimy fistful of turns for reality sites like DeputyDick.com and CollegeFuckTour.com, as well as at least a dozen features for companies like Video Team, Legend and Adam and Eve, for which she’s ground such colossal dick-swingers as Sledge Hammer and Mr. Marcus into fine powder with the unstoppable force of her corpo dolce e duro. But when she’s not paralyzing porno grunts with her hypno sex ray, she’s on the web, building her empire piece by piece. Her flagship is her own site, maja-lee.com, but she’s also the diabolical mind behind Vancouverporn.com, a no-bullshit gossip and info site for fans and performer hopefuls. And if that’s not enough, she also rides herd over several thumbnail galleries; her latest, TrickedToFuck.com (possibly one of the greatest site names ever) is a directory for reality site fiends.

Though she’s building the Maja Lee Nation 24-7, she found the time to answer my retarded questions on her favorite horror movies, the madness of TT Boy and Triumph (sorta in that order), for which I am eternally grateful.

The Ultimate Degenerate: You're the third gorgeous Internet model from Canada that we've encountered in recent months. What the hell is going on with the gene pool in your country?

Maja Lee: Who are the first two?? There's way more than that! Just check out Nudecanada.com and you'll find many hot girls and webmistresses. The newest Vivid girl Melezia is from Quebec.

UD: Tell us about pre-superstar Maja Lee. What were you like as a wild Canadian teen?

ML: Wild?! That's a real misconception! Ummm... I smoked cigarettes (laughs). I was really shy and didn't fit in with the “in” crowd, so I ran with the misfits in the school.

UD: Hey, weren’t you billed as Maya Lee at one point?

ML: Misspellings of my name are common. Most people don't spell it properly, anyways...so yes, Maya was one.

One director used "Snow Pea" on a box cover cuz he thought it was funny and did not want to pay the modeling agency (I was with World Modeling in LA).

UD: When did you establish www.maja-lee.com? How long did it take you to build it?

ML: That one went live (taking subscriptions) on November 1, 2003. It took me like 4-5 days to make it (the old design) but most of that time was spent fucking organizing my photos and making galleries of them. I was super pissed because I wanted a grand Halloween opening but I couldn't get the credit card processing forms faxed over in time and had a problem with installing their script. That would've made my Halloween sooo much.

UD: Do you like being your own boss?

ML: Well, who doesn't!? I guess there are some people who are happier taking orders from someone and not having to be accountable for their own doings. It's allowed me my sought after financial independence and freedom which I'm very grateful for.

UD: You've done a fair amount of DVDs as well as scenes for various internet sites. Do you prefer one to the other?

ML: They both have their business benefits. I love performing in scenes of both types; they are very different. For the reality sites, the shoots are casual, quick and no stress. The DVD scenes involve professional hair & make-up (depending on the director) outfits, pretty-girl still shots for the covers, and a lot of stopping during the scene for stills. Overall, it's much more time consuming and preparatory. Business wise, with DVD scenes, your name is on the box cover so it's easier to create a name brand, and of course people will see it and Google you. For the "reality" sites, you can still achieve that but harder to centralize the name branding. But you can make pic/movie galleries to upsell to the site, so that's great! Check out trickedtofuck.com for a categorized list of reality sites, and peep www.maja-lee.com/films.htm  for a list of what I've been in.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

UD: You preside over a bunch of other sides, including vancouverporn.com, nowhitegirls.com and exoticthumbs.com. Tell us about each of these, and where you find the time to do them?

ML: I have way more than that! I made www.vancouverporn.com

 as a resource site for models and others in the industry, and was hoping for more gossip than people give me, like Luke Ford style, y'know. I thrive on gossip. Nowhitegirls.com and exoticthumbs.com are thumbnail gallery posts. So is my newest one,trickedtofuck.com --that one is thumb galleries and movie galleries as well as a directory for "reality porn sites"

UD: What the hell happened with the guy who couldn't get it up on Internet Hookups.com?

ML: Ha ha ha... there's been more than one guy who couldn't get it up! It happens when you use amateur guys. After proving that he wasn't going to get it up, he was dismissed halfway through the scene.

UD: You've dealt with your share of “big” guys in films--I'm thinking specifically of Sledge

Hammer in Banana Cream Pie 2 (Video Team) and Mr. Marcus in Asia Noir 2 (Video Team) So the question bears asking--does size matter?

ML: Oh, god no, it is really how you use it. If you've got both elements, then it can be pretty amazing. I'm a pretty small girl too, so it doesn't have to be like Lexington Steele size!

UD: What is wrong with TT Boy?

ML: Nothing! TT Boy has a lotta Puerto Rican blood, so he's fired up all the time. I love it! He's super hot...

UD: If you say so…okay, serious question: a lot of the portrayals of Asians in adult films lean heavily on playing up stereotypes (submissive, mysterious, inscrutable, etc.). What's your take on this? Have there been roles that you've turned down because of these portrayals?

ML: Oh no! I think it's hilarious. In fact, there are some internet reality site scenes where I've really played that up (Trunked w/ Chinese accent and College Fuck Tour with Japanese accent). I pretend to be a tourist that barely speaks English, staring at a map, and with a funny HK or Japanese accent. Stereotypes are worse in mainstream media than porn... so I don't worry about the porn, just have fun with it and crack up the camera guys and crew.

UD: Okay, back to the dumb questions. First time we corresponded, we discussed Lucio Fulci, which impressed me to no end. You're a big horror fan--let's hear your favorite titles.

ML: Cool! Well, I love Halloween (it's the only holiday I celebrate), and I've been going to upcominghorrormovies.com for years. Recent movies that I've liked are the Scream trilogy, the Canadian-made Ginger Snaps, and 28 Days Later. I was so disappointed at Resident Evil because I've played all the video games and read the books and was hoping for an exact rendition of Rez Evil 1. but I will still watch the second one coming out...House of 1000 Corpses was also a letdown. I was expecting more creepiness from Rob--it was just like a glorified music video. So was House of the Dead—I almost walked out of the theatre...

Older movies I like are Wes Craven’s Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes, People Under the Stairs and the first Nightmare on Elm Street. Black Christmas scared the hell outta me, and Carrie too. I also like campy early ‘80s movies like Mother’s Day, the Sleepaway Camp series, and

the Return of the Living Dead series had good entertainment value. The Night of the Living Dead series is a classic. I really like zombie movies since I played a lotta horror-survival video games.

UD: Your choice of roles to play: Countess Dracula, Lady Frankenstein, Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS, or Sister Hyde, and why?

ML: Well, I don't think an Asian has ever played those roles, so it'd be a cinematic breakthrough and serious media hype (or bomb).

UD: Nah, it’d be a smash. Let’s break ground.

ML: I'd choose Countess Dracula because being a vampire chick would be sexy. Interesting choices you gave me... could you imagine me being Ilsa? Wouldn't that be contradictory?

UD: I dunno. That’s what we’re all about sometimes. So when was the last time you were really scared (by a movie or otherwise)?

ML: Oh, that's easy! I'm scared of ghosts... and zombies kinda. I was viewing some real estate and it was cheap because someone had died in there and didn't find the body till later...I hightailed it outta there!

UD: When was the last time you scared someone else?

ML: Fuck, I can't remember.... usually I'm the one getting scared.

UD: You've confessed an unholy love for candy on the site. What kind of candy do I need to bring in order to win you over? And what will get me thrown out of your house?

ML: Maynard’s Wine Gums! Never seen it in the USA, though. Lindt truffles and the best chocolatey ice cream you can find. Oh, and Pop Rocks in different flavors. You are so not my friend if you arrive with cheap, no-name lollipops.

UD: Have you met your fans? What's the demographic?

ML: I've met a few... sometimes I get recognized in Vancouver, not often though. I met a few signing at AVN in January. They’re all males... duh. They’re all ages and nationalities.

UD: Okay, random nonsense starts here. Food aphrodisiacs: bullshit or not?

ML:
I'm calling BS. It's all mental... but there are foods that get your heart racing, so I guess that's what people are talking bout. I'd try Spanish Fly if I could get my hands on it.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

UD: What's in constant rotation in your CD player?

ML: Dick Dale, old skool hip-hop beats. Ludacris, Tupac and Necro. Blaxploitation soundtracks relax me--Bobby Bland, Curtis Mayfield, Clarence Carter. Also, heavier stuff like Tarrie B's bands past and present-- Manhole, Tura Satana and My Ruin (not the new stuff though).

UD: Explain the cultural significance of Triumph.

ML: Uh, never listened to them (Correct answer!--UD)

UD: What band would get a guy kicked out of your bed if he told you that he liked them?

ML: Probably Backstreet Boys or Avril Lavigne. I'd try and look past it...

UD: Which performance of yours are you the happiest with? Which one can you not watch?

ML: I actually think I look horrible and I dislike my voice very much (Horrible? Dislike? I beg to differ—UD), so it's all painful to watch, no matter how good of a time I'm having on set or how great I thought the scene turned out. I think David Aaron Clark’s Asia Noir 4 will be the best. He sent me the first five minutes of my scene with an electronica piece that he scored; it looked amazing. I'm dressed in a white fur coat and pieces of bling hanging off my neck, but totally naked underneath. My sex slave is Sledge Hammer in a cage... how fun is that?

UD: Fun for Sledge or us? We’re gonna say both. So--Michelle Yeoh or Kelly Hu?

ML: Michelle Yeoh kicks major butt!

UD: Say something sexy in any of the several languages you speak.

ML: An arcardome meg bossnee (phonetic spelling of “I'd like to fuck you” in Hungarian!)

UD: Right on—well, ditto. So if fans want to contact you with letters, pleas, blood sacrifices and offers of eternal bondage, how can they do that?

ML: By either joining my yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/justmaja--free with your yahoo ID), which is a forum, polls and free pics, or by e-mailing me at maja-lee.com (you gotta find the email).

UD: When Hollywood makes the Maja Lee biopic, whom do you want to play you? And give us the title and the poster tagline.

ML: My life is really not exciting, unless you count chasing after Chicklet (her dog) and cursing. I'd probably push to play myself in that one. The title would be something like Maja Lee: The Anti-Pornstar.

UD: Any final thoughts, expletives, dire prophecies, visions of divine intervention that you'd like to leave us with?

ML: I'm kinda in an anti-pornstar, anti-idol phase. All women should be celebrated for their sexuality... not just the ones you see in the media or on screen. Of course, when I'm signing for AVN again this year, I'm sure I'll get into the diva role... but I keep it in check. Also, I have a real hate for the way mainstream media portrays the entire adult industry. It makes people think their fucked-up fantasy is a reality. I'm going to stop right there, because I'll start going off...
