Melina kindly spoke with XXX Wasteland to discuss her entry into adult following a stint with the Suicide Girls website, the passion she has for her chosen profession, appearing on an episode of The Jerry Springer Show last year, her plans and aspirations for the future and more.

Q: Let’s start at the beginning: Can you tell us how you entered the adult industry?

I started in adult in 2009; I was a Suicide Girl. That’s basically an alternative nude model – it’s like the Playboy of the alt scene.

I was on a photo shoot one day and there was a porn girl there. She was like, “Oh, you know, do you want to get into porn?” And I was like, “Yes!” (Laughs) She called her agent – who is my current agent – and they signed me that day. I’ve just been working in porn ever since and haven’t looked back.

Q: That’s pretty cool. I’m familiar with the Suicide Girls and that’s a really cool website.

Yeah, it was cool. It was definitely a big part of my life, but they dropped me as a Suicide Girl when they found out I started doing porn because it was against their contract.

Q: So you were doing both for a little while?

Yeah. They found out very quickly. (Laughs)

Q: So you have enjoyed your time in the adult industry so far?

Oh, it’s been incredible. I just mean everything: the sex, the traveling, the money – everything about porn I love. So, it’s like every day I’m living my dream and I’m only 22. So, that’s pretty cool.

Q: Yeah, for sure. Who have been some of your favorite studios and performers to work with?

You know, I’ve never had a bad scene. I’ve never worked with someone who didn’t become a favorite performer. But I definitely have favorite companies. I love shooting for Brazzers. I love shooting for Naughty America, I work for them a lot. I love Penthouse. Those are my top favorites. And Jules Jordan – I love shooting for Jules Jordan.

Q: Are there any performers or studios you haven’t had the opportunity to work with yet, but would like to in the near future?

Oh, yeah. I would definitely like to work for Digital Playground, Vivid and Wicked. Those are my top three.

Q: How about overall goals and aspirations for your career? Do you have anything specific in mind that you wish to accomplish?

Oh, definitely. I really want to become a Penthouse Pet. I would love to get nominated for Best New Starlet this year at AVN. I want to eventually direct. I’d like to write scripts and stuff. I’m just all over the place. I want to get behind the camera, I want to learn photography. I want to be in every aspect of adult. I feel like things are very one-sided for me right now in that I’m only performing and I just feel like to understand the industry better, I have to do more jobs. So, I want to be more well-rounded.

Q: Now that you have a few years of experience in adult to your credit, is there maybe one misconception in general about the industry that you wish you could dispel?

I feel like there are so many. I just feel like people see us as dirty or unclean, but most people in porn only fuck other people in porn. We’re clean, we get tested. And we’re safer than most people. Anything about that – just our safety – I just hate how people don’t understand how seriously we take our safety and protection.

Q: I understand that you appeared on an episode of Jerry Springer last year, is that right?

Ha, ha! Yeah, I did.

Q: Can you tell us about that?

The whole experience was pretty funny. But it was nice – they sent a limo to my house, drove me to the studio and put me up in a hotel overnight. We just hung out. And the next day on the show, they had me as an audience member plant and had me go into a hot tub and make out with some other chicks and stuff. It was funny.

Q: And how did that come about?

My agent called me and said, “Do you want to be on the Jerry Springer Show?” And I was like, “Sure.” It was something to do. (Laughs)

Q: Yeah, absolutely. May I ask a few questions about yourself as a person?

Sure.

Q: Great. Can you tell us a little bit about where you were raised and how you would describe yourself growing up?

I was born in New York, raised there as well. A pretty small town in New York – on Long Island, actually.

I’ve always been a very sexual person. I started having sex when I was like six. (Laughs) So, I’ve always been very sexually motivated.

In high school, I was … I don’t know … weird. (Laughs) I couldn’t wait to get out of there. There’s not much else to say. (Laughs) I was just very awkward, very horny. I was having all this sex and people were hating on me for it. I’m like, “Why are you getting pissed? I just had sex with you. Go back to your girlfriend and leave me alone.” (Laughs)

I didn’t quite fit in with any particular group. I just sort of drifted around from group to group of friends.

Q: How about interests and hobbies away from work?

Oh, I am so bad with hobbies. Every time I get a new hobby, it’s to the max until I learn everything I think I need to know and then I drop it. I used to play the piano, guitar, viola. I used to paint and draw. I used to write poetry. I was writing a book at one point. I just learn as much as I want to know and then I’m like, “I don’t need this anymore.” So, I’m currently on the hunt for a new hobby.

Q: You mentioned writing a book. Was it your own life story or more of a fiction-type book?

It was going to be a mix of fiction and non-fiction. It’s about something unrelated to the adult industry, actually. But I started writing it and it got kind of painful, so I just stopped. But it’s whatever. (Laughs) On to the next, you know?

Q: Yeah. How about favorites – T.V. show, movie, musical artists and things like that?

For T.V., I love this show called Thirty Rock. It’s so funny.

I have three favorite movies: Scarface, Goodfellas and Casino. Those are my top three.

(Musicians) is super hard because there’s so many. But I guess I’ll go with a classic answer and give you 2Pac and Biggie. I listen to 2Pac and Biggie like every single day. (Laughs)

Q: When I was reading up about you for the interview, I came across a photo you posted of three books that you said had impacted your life.

Oh, you found that? That’s crazy! (Laughs)

Q: Yeah. One of them was The Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey.

Ah, yes – The Satanic Bible. That’s a great read. It’s not as bad as you think. It’s not about worshipping Satan as a being, it’s more of just a philosophy.

Q: Yeah. Actually, the reason I wanted to ask is because I’m very familiar with it.

Oh, are you?

Q: I like to study different religions and things like that.

Yeah, me too.

Q: I was just wondering if you considered yourself a LaVeyan Satanist.

It’s not something I really want to touch on, but I will say the book has guided me as far as how to treat people and how to react to certain situations. That guide is very loosely based on my own personal morals, I will say that about the book.

Q: I just thought that was pretty neat. It’s not something everybody names as an influence.

Right – The Prophet, The Satanic Bible and The Richest Man in Babylon, I think, were my three favorite books.

Q: You were right in saying that a lot of people have a misconstrued view of what true Satanism is.

Oh, the misconception is so extreme. People are like, “Don’t they sacrifice babies?” (Laughs) No. No. That’s separate, individual cliques. There are all different types of Satanism, just like there are Catholic people, Christian people – everyone believes in something different.

Q: Yeah. If I recall correctly, most members of the actual Satanic Church despise self-proclaimed Satanists who perform sacrificial rituals and things like that.

Yeah, they do. Do you still have to pay for the membership?

Q: I think you do. Last I heard, yeah.

I think it’s only like five hundred bucks or something (Note: I did some reading up afterward and learned the current fee is two hundred dollars). Anyway, let’s change the topic because I don’t want to get too much into Satanism on my porn interview! (Laughs)

Q: No problem. Is there one thing about yourself that you feel would surprise most people?

I’m sure there are lots of surprising things about me. I don’t know … I have this weird habit: when I go to restaurants, I always ask for another chair so I can put my purse on it. But I don’t know if that’s surprising or if that’s just weird. The only things surprising about me people probably shouldn’t know.

Q: Are there any current or upcoming projects in the works that you would like to mention?

Yeah, actually. I just shot a new movie for Jules Jordan, it’s an anal scene. We did a lot of anal, so that’s good. So, that’s coming out soon. I have another movie for Jules coming out this week, actually, called Hardcore Allure.

I’ll be in Chicago signing for Exxxotica next month. I have another movie for Evil Angel coming out called Anal Lessons. All butt stuff lately. And I have a couple dozen unreleased scenes that are all coming out within the next couple of weeks.

So, I have a lot going on: traveling a lot, focusing on re-launching my website. I have a lot going on, but it’s all good things.

Q: Terrific. To finish up, is there anything else you wish to say to readers?

Well, I just hope they find it interesting and that they don’t think I’m just another chick doing porn.

Q: Thanks very much, I appreciate you taking some time out to speak with me today. It’s good to hear that you are happy in the industry and I wish you the best.

Thank you! If you ever want to talk more about Satanism, just give me a call, alright?

Q: Absolutely.

Bye-bye.
