Interview with Felicia Fox
interview by DUC
Friday, April 11, 2003

I got home from the DP Tonight show 4/8/03 and got an IM from Mike South, who told me to call his porn star friend Fifi. I did and we started chatting while I continued my IM with Mike. Ten minutes into my talk with Fifi, I asked her for her porn name. She said "Felicia Fox." I felt like an idiot because I've known Felicia for several months.

South1226: DUC, where you been all day?

South1226: You missed all the excitement!

South1226: Hey I think me n Debbie are coming to erotica LA.

South1226: Will see ya there I hope.

South1226: You be nice to Fifi now.

South1226: Dont type so much so fast.

South1226: LOL yer a man of many words.....cept in chat...be nice to Fifi. She is a good kid.

South1226: Call fifi at ----

South1226: I'm on the phone with Tim.

Luke: Ok, I got Fifi on the phone. What should I ask her?

South1226: Ask her whatever ya want.

South1226: Fifi is cool and smart.

South1226: Her family knows.

South1226: She is managing her career with savvy.

South1226: Her husband Tim Case is a good guy who pulls his own weight.

South1226: DUC you big goober.

South1226: You didn't know Fifi was Felicia Fox.

South1226: That's funny

South1226: You called some girl just cuz I told ya to and had no idea who she was?

South1226: Yer OK man

South1226: DUC... dude yer hopeless man

South1226: To be such an instigator of s--- you are the most innocent guy on the planet!

Ten minutes into my conversation with Felicia, I realize I haven't pressed record on my machine. So let us join my conversation in progress.

Felicia: "I'd been featuring [as a stripper] for two years. I went to see Jenna Jameson perform at the club Diamonds. I saw the responses she got and the crowd she got, the fans... I went to [hubby] Tim and said that I wanted to do adult films. That was in May of 2000."

Luke: "Is Tim Case in the room with you?"

Felicia: "He just walked in."

Luke: "Is he manipulating you?"

Felicia: "No, never."

Luke: "Have you come to LA before?"

Felicia: "Yeah, I've been coming for two-and-a-half years. I shot for Vivid, Wicked, New Sensations, Sin City, Jill Kelly, Playboy. I'd considered moving out prior to this but I was featuring so much, we never did. I realized I was missing out on some good opportunities, mainly because I couldn't catch an airflight in time. So Tim and I moved out here in January 2003. We considered keeping our place in Ohio but it's so much money... We want to save money."

Luke: "Porn stars don't save their money. They blow it on drugs and stuff."

Felicia: "I don't do drugs."

Luke: "Not even before a scene?"

Felicia: "Never. I treat it like a business. I put everything I have into it - my heart, mind and soul. I started dancing at 18. It's paid for me to go to school."

Luke: "Why would you go to college?"

Felicia: "I was going to go for my nursing license before I found other ways of making money. I went to cosmetology school. I took care of Alzheimer's patients and handicapped kids. Most of my family is in the medical field. I was going to go for that but I just like this industry. I'm an exhibitionist. I like sex. My Mom couldn't keep my clothes on when I was a kid. I was all getting naked and going into the creek and tubing down the rivers, riding horses naked.

"I bloomed early. I had this size breasts at the age of twelve. You get stereotyped as easy. People were saying that when I hadn't even had sex yet. I didn't lose my virginity until I was in high school. I grew up with mainly guy friends."

Luke: "How many movies have you done?"

Felicia: "About 70."

Luke: "And what's your stage name?"

Felicia surprised: "My stage name? Felicia Fox."

DUC aghast: "Oh wait... I'm sorry."

Felicia: "Did you call the wrong person?"

Luke: "No. Mike was telling me about Fifi."

Felicia: "That's my nickname."

Luke: "I'm so brain dead."

Felicia: "Gotcha."

Luke: "Mike said I had to call Fifi. I thought, that's interesting. She's managed by Felicia Fox's husband."

Felicia: "So you thought Tim was managing a girl named Fifi?"

Luke: "Yes."

Felicia: "You're funny."

Luke: "What's your ethnic heritage?"

Felicia: "Cherokee Indian and Irish."

Luke: "What do you love and what do you hate about the industry?"

Felicia: "There's nothing I hate. It's all been positive. The worst thing is that there's not enough time in the day to do everything. Traveling wears you down."

Luke: "How does your family feel about your new career?"

Felicia: "They're ok with it. Any parent would rather have their daughters do something else. But I've got a good head on my shoulders. I save my money."

Luke: "What are your ambitions?"

Felicia: "I want to keep featuring and keep upping my rates and buy my house. I might want to open up a little adult bookstore one day. I love doing camera work. I love taking stills. When my looks fade, I'd like to be on the other side of the camera."

Luke: "What type of movies do you like to make?"

Felicia: "When I broke in, I went the vanilla route. The longer I've been in the business, I'm doing edgier stuff. I'm getting more comfortable with myself. I'm finding I like things a little rougher. Porno has brought some things out in me that I didn't know I had.

"Porno has helped me grow, dealing with the cash flow that you make in this industry... It made me use my head to invest my money."

Luke: "So many people get jaded in this business?"

Felicia: "The worst thing you see is burnout. You see people burn out quick. When I broke in, I wanted to shoot quality over quantity. I didn't want to shoot too much. I didn't want to get overexposed. I want longevity in the business. You need more positive people in this business."

Luke: "What is it about this business that makes so many people negative?"

Felicia: "The dickhead directors that take advantage of people. You get girls out there that are young and get taken advantage of. Like that girl who had to f--- a bum on the street. For girls that use their head, it can be a good business. It's just sex. It's not brain surgery."

Luke: "How has being in this industry affected your soul?"

Felicia: "My soul is completely healthy and loves to f---."
