I Shoot Porn: Let me get this straight — your real name is Dana DeArmond.

Dana DeArmond: Yea, I didn’t expect to become…like…a porn star. It was just something to do. The thought to come up with a stage name never occurred to me. I have no reason to try and hide who I really am.

ISP: Has using your real name ever come back to haunt you?

DD: Yea, people recognize me. The Direct TV guy recognized me from my name. I’ve had people steal my mail…shit like that sometimes. It’s more like I noticed people pretend not to know who I am…which bothers me even more. It’s embarrassing to realize some person you’ve been talking to for the last three hours knows exactly what you do for a living. And I’m not really creative to figure out a fake name, either.

Gia Paloma, Make-up artist: Just use your pet’s name and the street grew up on…I mean does anyone still do that anymore?

DD: I had a gerbil named Blackie. I actually had three gerbils — Blackie, Shorty, and Jaws. I could have been any of those.

ISP: Your first scene?

DD: In February 2004 I did Hogtied. I applied for Fucking Machines, and I was hired right away to do Hogtied. I was pretty much only working for Kink and Gwen Media, doing fetish/latex/rubber stuff.

ISP: What in the world made you apply for Fucking Machines?

DD: I thought it was be cool to have sex with a robot. I was seeing the Fucking Machines content on the message boards, too. I had also seen it on HBO’s Real Sex. It just looked like fun.

ISP: Why did you get your braces?

DD: Because I was born without a bicuspid and I had to a bone graft put in…I dunno. I have a jaw problem.

Gia: So it wasn’t just to look 16?

DD: No, that was just a happy bonus. Ben Hoffman shot me last week, and he was like, “you look so young…it’s so creepy!”

Gia: How did the transition go from doing fetish stuff to sex scenes with boys?

DD: Well, Kink made Sex and Submission, so I started doing scenes. It was really no big deal. Kink let me fuck who I wanted, and I wanted to bang James Deen. They let me. I used to be picky about who I fucked on camera…now I’m Queen of the Mopes.

ISP: Ever freak out on set?

DD: Not that I care to talk about. There’s been a couple times when I told people hey, I don’t need the money. If you don’t stop fucking with me I will leave.

ISP: Tell me about The Internet’s Girlfriend.

DD: It’s my blog, where I link to all my official webites — my Facebook, my mySpace, my Twitter. Cause there’s a few fraudulent sites out there claiming to be me. Oh, and Little Dana, too. That’s my non-porn mySpace.

ISP: What would I find in your fridge right now?

DD: I have condiments. That’s about it. Lactose free milk. And…I dunno. I don’t cook. Otter Pops in my freezer.

ISP: So you’re co-hosting the Urban Spice Awards Sunday, the 26th…at Boulevard 3 in Hollywood. Why do they want a white girl to co-host?

DD: (Raises hands in the air) Black people love me! They loved my Blacks on Blondes scene! No, really…I think it’s cause I do a ton of interracial work.

ISP: Are you a black cock slut?

DD: What? Wat are you talking about? I don’t bang people in my private life. A black guy tried to pick me up at a gas station. I actually asked him if he wanted to go with me to the Urban Spice Awards. I told him I had a limo and that I do porn and everything.

ISP: Did he accept?

DD: I gave him my e-mail, but he hasn’t hit me up.

Gia: Maybe he doesn’t have a computer.

DD: Gia! That’s racist. I’m probably just going to take Bobbi Starr as my date. We’re nominated together. Best IR Star. Best IR 3 Way. Something like that. I honestly don’t care about winning awards. It’s nice just to be asked to be there. I don’t like the idea of having a competition between me and my friends.

ISP: Any way you and Bobbi can stop by my place and blow me before you go to the awards?

DD: I dunno. Bobbi might take some convincing. She’s shy.

ISP: Speaking of Bobbi…Bobbi Starr and Dana DeArmond are the highest ranked girls at Blacks On Blondes? She’s actually ranked one higher than you.

DD: Why? Cause she has long hair? Or cause she’s doing a gang bang? What kind of scene did she do?

ISP: You did a DP. She did a 4 man DP.

DD: You gave her an unfair advantage. But there’s nothing wrong with a little healthy competition between porn sisters. But…for the record, I’d love to come back and do a Blacks on Blondes scene with Bobbi.

ISP: Would you lick her ass?

DD: I’d live in there. I’d make a tent out of her bush and just live the rest of my life in her ass.
