STILL SLEAZY: Jeff VS. Joanna Angel
__________________________________________________________________________________________

Even though it’s only been a year and a half since I last sat down with Joanna Angel for a formal interview, it seems like it’s been a lifetime. That’s probably because Joanna has transformed herself into one of the most sought after hardcore commodities, or stars, in the porn industry today. As co-owner of BurningAngel.com, Joanna established herself as a figurehead in the underground alternative porn world that blossomed into an overnight generational sensation and has since been the main maven responsible for alt porn’s rise to mainstream recognition. Now everybody wants a piece of Joanna and all her angels, a fire cracking group of young, gritty girls with pussy piercings and neck and knuckle tattoos – they’re flashy, flamboyant, hip, and downright dirty. And if you don’t think these girls are the wave of the future, just take a look at all the ink Jenna Jameson and Janine Lindemulder have now.

Joanna has quickly established herself as one of the fastest rising girls in the industry, already sporting a slew of titles to her name, including Re-Penetrator, BurningAngel.com the Movie, Joanna’s Angels 1 & 2, Young Ripe Melons 8, Neu Wave Hookers, and Gothsend 4. Joanna’s also directed, been published, and won a 2006 AVN award for Most Outrageous Sex Scene, along with being nominated for Best New Starlet and Best Actress.

But that’s all academic. What you really need to know, and ought to know, about Joanna is that she’s a staunch feminist, she scored wickedly high on her SAT’s, she was born on Christmas, she can deep throat sometimes (other times it makes her puke), Jules Jordan says she takes it in the ass like a champ, she can run a company, she’s funny, she can make her boobs grow by talking to them nicely, and she’s always got time for us sleazy people here at Sleazegrinder.

So, this is our third interview. Aren’t you getting sick of me yet?

Dude, your website is called Sleazegrinder. How could I ever get sick of you?

You can’t, really. Listen, I have to say, you’ve come a long way, baby. How are you finding the wonderful world of hardcore?

I'm finding out that I can do things with my body that I didn’t think were humanly possible.

What’s been the highlight of your hardcore career to date?

Writing a chapter for Naked Ambition and directing Joanna's Angels.

My girlfriend, who just so happens to think you are one of the sexiest women alive, works in a sex toy store and is always reading up on AVN news. She says you’re getting a lot of press. Do you think you can pinpoint the moment everyone sat up and started taking notice of you?

Hmmm....I think it was last spring after an article in the New York Times came out about me. That was also around the time my first DVD, BurningAngel.com the Movie came out. Everything has been non-stop since then. It's been nuts. I need to find time to sleep one of these days!

I don't sleep and I eat while I'm walking, typing, or fucking. The lovely invention of the sidekick has made it so I can update my website, answer my e-mail, and have a meeting in IM while in the make-up chair. Recently, I hired an assistant. Her name is also Joanna, so it was pretty much meant to be. She sleeps just as much as I do.e European bands? Don't they know we don't speak Sp

Are you still hands on when it comes to running BurningAngel.com?

Yes. Hands on, in on top of, and all over everything…including myself.

I have to ask, with the whole Suicide Girls fiasco and you and your tattooed friends joining the big leagues, is alt porn dying or is it just reinventing itself?

I think everyone involved is getting better at what they’re doing and people are starting to take notice. I don't think you can really "sell out" with porn. It's not like music. Porn is meant to be glamorous and fabulous, but the definition of glamour is now going beyond a blond bimbo with fake tits and a meat head with tribal tattoos fucking by a swimming pool.

Larry Flynt and the good people at Hustler are putting out Joanna’s Angels 2. Have you met Larry Flynt? Did you give him a pop-a-wheelie?

I did meet Larry Flynt. He told me I should pose in his magazine on top of a Harley. It was an honest attempt at understanding what I'm doing. I convinced him that a tattoo shop was way more fitting and he kinda nodded his head and smiled. I didn't give him a pop-a-wheelie, but I did give him a kiss on the cheek. It was the least I could do for him granting me my dream come true, to make a porno about horny punk rock chick superheroes!

About these horny punk rock chick superheroes…did you choose the casts for your Joanna’s Angels movies? How come I never got a call?

I chose everyone. I did call you! But you didn't pick up. You need to hire a Joanna so you don't miss opportunities like this in the future.

 Yeah, I gotta get on that. So, my esteemed colleague, the Ultimate Degenerate, recently interviewed your Neu Wave Hookers and Joanna’s Angels 2 co-star, Dana DeArmond, and we tried to get her to dish some dirt on you, but she said, “I promised Joanna I would never tell any of her secrets – and she’ll never tell mine. Girls are like that. Besides, even if I told you any secrets about Joanna, you wouldn’t believe them anyway.” So, what is she hiding? What kind of secrets do you have?

Hahahahahaha...go read my blog on BurningAngel.com. You'll find out everything about me you never wanted to know.

I don’t suppose you’ll tell us some of Dana’s secrets, will you?

Until I came along, she didn't separate her laundry! She just threw everything into one machine! Tee shirts, bras, blacks, whites, towels, blankets…yikes! It was a disaster. I showed her how it was done. Now she can actually wear clothes after she washes them.

Aw, how sweet of you. You must be a great catch. Besides an extremely high SAT score and a used copy of Slaughterhouse-Five shoved in his back pocket, what’s the best way for a courting gentleman to win your heart?

By sticking kitchen utensils in my ass on the first date.

Good lord. Speaking of kitchen utensils, you’re quoted as saying, “I’m a pretty decent cook…if I had more time I would be a better cook but I’m too busy taking it in the ass.” What works better for you in terms of attracting someone, your ability to bake a decent lasagna or your love of all things anal?

Hahahahaha....I don't know. I think my laundry skills are what really wheels them in these days.

Again with the laundry. If you’re that good at it, you should get it on camera, like a new line of domestic erotica. Fluff, fold, and fuck. Ok, maybe not. All right, laundry sex is out, so what’s one thing you most certainly want to do in front of the camera before your career is over?

A gang bang.

What’s one thing you will never do in front of the camera?

Have sex with a sheep, or like, one of my cousins.

Yeah, those things are usually career killers. Hey, remember when you asked me to pose with some naked BurningAngel.com girls for a book you were going to put out? Whatever happened with that? Can I have copies of the pictures to show my friends and prove that I’m cooler than they are?

The book will come out. I'm still tying to get it together. I have no idea where that photo is. Maybe the other Joanna can find it. You'll have to call the office and ask her. I bet like, she can find it, have it framed and matted and engraved in like, 2 hours. Yes, she's that good.

Finally, what’s next for you? Are you going to turn the porn industry upside down and invite all of us here at Sleazegrinder to join the party? I hope so. Remember, the bigger star you become, the more my one-of-a-kind ‘I Love Joanna’ shirt will be worth!

Well, I'm writing the script for a movie I'm filming next month now...it's called the Altimate Guide to Sex. BurningAngel.com's first gonzo release comes out next month (in May), called Cum on My Tattoo, and uh…yeah...I don't know. I prefer to think I'm making the porno industry a more interesting and happier place for sexy ladies with tattoos rather than turning it upside down.

Well, Joanna is certainly making it a happier place for all of us here at Sleazegrinder. If you want to go tell Joanna how happy she’s making you, or to ask her on a date for a chance to stick a utensil in her ass, you can do so at any one of these fine locations: BurningAngel.com, JoannaAngel.com, or Joanna’s Myspace page.
