Born 2/24/62, Teri Weigel grew up in the conservative Florida community of Boca Raton.

Sheltered as a child, she attended Catholic school for 12 years while living amidst her 17 cousins in a neighborhood her grandfather owned. Teri was the "happy" middle child between two older sisters and two younger brothers. Her oldest sister become a principal of a grade school, the other sister became a nurse, while one brother works for IBM and the other writes advertising jingles.

"I'm the rebel of the family," Weigel says. "I didn't get enough attention."

Teri entered modeling at as a teen, doing her first job for Saks Fifth Avenue wearing clothes for their catalogs. At age 17, she appeared in lingerie.

"There was some tension with my family at the time. But after all, it was Saks, and they are a respectable retail department store."

Weigel went to New York and signed with a big modeling agency. After appearing in Seventeen magazine, she went months without work. "I thought, 'That's it. I'm finished.' "

But then Teri got a job modeling in Paris. Even though accompanied by her high school boyfriend, she felt lonely. After a few months, he tired of cleaning hotel rooms while Weigel appeared on the cover of magazines such as Vogue.

She traveled alone to Munich. "The Germans were cool. They would work all day and drink all night. I hung out at art museums. I still do that when I travel to big cities.

"I wasn't a slut. I was a good Catholic girl. I stayed that way until I met my husband Murrill."

The busty brunette returned to Florida and became Miss Deerfield 1979. She spent six weeks working in Osaka, Japan.

Teri claims that Playboy lied to her, and that they are the whole reason she is in porn. The magazine supposedly seduces innocent girls, promises them the world, and then kicks them out on their asses in five years.

Playboy discovered Weigel through her lingerie work. She took test photos for them in the nude and they called her back the same day she met her future husband Murrill Muglio.

Teri had just flown back from Paris for her sister's wedding and Murrill was one of the guys in the band. She fell in love with him immediately.

"I never had a thing for rock and roll musicians. I wasn't that kind of girl. I don't drink or smoke or do drugs... But when we met, it was love at first sight. It was like we had been together before and would be together forever. Then Playboy called. I freaked out and said I didn't want to do it. Murrill explained to me that if I wanted something more than catalog print work, that this could be my ticket out of nowhere."

Teri Weigel graced the cover of Playboy's November 1985 issue, and appeared as the centerfold in the April, 1986 issue. Posing naked changed her life. She enjoyed the money, fame and attention.

"The Edwin Meese Commission was around at the time and there was a Playmate that year from North Carolina, which is Ed's home state. Since Playboy got pulled out of 7-11s, and other convenience stores because of the Meese scare tactics, they gave Playmate of the Year to her instead, just to thumb their nose at him. They had promised it to me, the readers voted overwhelmingly in my favor, but the timing was wrong. They kept me working in the video stuff and it got hotter and hotter.

"I got paid $500 to do their videos. At first it was limited nudity with no touching. None of the girls would go for the touching. Then they would work in it, a little at a time. Finally it was simply soft porn. One day, one of the crew came up to me and said, "For what they want you to do, you could make a lot more money doing X-rated movies"." (HEVG)

Teri thought about doing porn for several months. Then she had a severe car accident. "I was in bad shape, physically and financially. I had just appeared in Predator 2. I asked Playboy if they would run something on me being in the movie as a way of helping me out. I needed to make some money. But they blew me off. It was like they got five years out of me, and this was the perfect opportunity for the kiss off."

"Teri's claim that she was robbed of Playmate of the Year is questionable at best," says Craig Anthony. "The winner Donna Edmondson was truly spectacular and can be fairly said to have won on her own merits. Teri's claim that readers voted overwhelmingly for her isn't substantiated. Donna was a popular choice. The suggestion that Playboy picked Donna to thumb their nose at Meese is silly. They did that directly in their editorial pages and in "The Girls of 7-11" pictorial. Donna's home state was irrelevant.

"In addition, Playmate of the Year is not chosen by reader ballot. Playboy has always given weight to how the winner would handle the media and promotional responsibilities that come with the title. Maturity and level headedness are what count for that. Teri's subsequent handling of her life shows that she lacks those qualities. Playboy made a sound choice in not picking her. Donna Edmonsdon performed flawlessly.

"Teri talks as though being a Playmate entitles her to a job for life. It doesn't. It's a modeling gig, albeit a prestigious one with a public profile, but then you go on with your life. Teri thinks that Playboy has some continuing obligation to keep employing her. Wrong.

"I've seen her Playboy videos. There's nothing beyond nudity and a bit of fondling. Any suggestion that they were porn is ludicrous. In Predator 2, Teri has no dialogue except screaming. She appears on screen for a few seconds.

"Teri demonstrates her judgement of character by marrying a man (Murrill Muglio) who pimps her."

Despite Teri's denial of being attracted to rock stars, she dated Kiss pretty-boy Paul Stanley during the '80s and appeared in his uncensored Crazy Nights video. While dancing in Playboy's Girls of Rock n'Roll in Monte Carlo in 1986, Teri caught the attention of Monaco's Prince Albert. He pursued her for weeks before getting her into bed.

Teri also held out for weeks before selling the story to the TV show Hard Copy which carried an interview with Weigel on November 4, 1991. The show also revealed Teri's picture of the prince snuggling on her plentiful bosom.

Teri says she doesn't regret her affair. "After being with Albert, it reassured me that Murrill [Muglio] was right for me." Weigel married Muglio in December, 1986, shortly after the end of her fling with Prince Albert.

Teri says she never fell in love with the prince. "He helped me lead a happy life. I owe that to him."

In the late '80s, Teri appeared at times as Jade on TV's Married With Children. She was Al Bundy's fantasy date. Teri also appeared briefly in the B-movies Return of the Killer Tomatoes (1988), Cheerleader Camp (1988) and Marked For Death (1990).

Confident that Teri would be a star, her husband Murrill Muglio who doubles as studio musician and as Teri's manager, lavished money on their San Fernando home and two new cars. But in August 1990, Teri injured her neck in a car accident and couldn't work for four months. To make money fast, Weigel, 28 at the time, began doing porn where she earned up to $4000 a day. Her husband performed with her.

Weigel debuted in Inferno. "She's at her best," says Peter van Aarle. "For a change, she looks like a Playmate instead of a freak. The movie appears to be shot before her boob jobs. Of all the Teri movies, Inferno is the one where she screams the least."

Teri did her first scene with Marc Wallice. "Patti Rhodes and producer Fred Lincoln yelled at me because I was too into it. I can't help it - that's just the way I am. I scream when I f---. A lot of my neighbors hate me, but f--- 'em. I like sex and I like to f--- and I scream when I f---. When I have sex, whether it's on camera or not, I go crazy. My whole body seems to come alive. I'm not verbal when I make love, but every pore in my body seems to have a nerve ending."

Jeremy Stone: "From the way this lady moves, you think she is going through electro-charged orgasmic therapy. She looks like she's cumming from the moment she makes skin contact with her partners. She's one of the most expressive actresses ever to have sex in front of the camera, and she appears to be having uncontrollable orgasms the entire time she's engaged in sex. Her eyes roll, her body shivers, her hair stands upon her arms and neck." (AFW 96D p.192)

Teri's last name is pronounced Y-gull. Her big releases for Infinity Video include Illusions 1-2 and Totally Teri. She also appears in Starr, Inferno and Wet Event.

After police intervened in an argument she had with her husband in 1993, Teri sued the LAPD for unnecessary roughness. "I was restrained by police, spread-eagled, hog tied with handcuffs, and probed with a night stick." (AVN 7/93 p.30)

Weigel says if she had to do it all over again, she would. "Because this time I would know Playboy for what it is and not expect anything. I would be more cutthroat, because that's the way they are."

Andrew Blake introduced Teri to pornographer Patti Rhodes. Patti lived in the same building as Teri and her husband. "We got a good feeling from each other, and she let me get include things that are important to me. But Patti lied to me. I found this out while I was in Italy working for her. She kept telling me that things would be one way and they would end up another. I finally realized that I was her meal ticket. That's when I stopped working for her."

Teri says Mark Carriere knows what girls want out of this business. "I'm getting $5000 for doing six sex scenes. They are leasing me a car for a year. I work out at the company gym. I have a personal trainer and I just got a breast enlargement. They're 36DDs now. I've always wanted them that size. I don't care what any body else says. I know the truth."

Teri had a serious car accident at Halloween 1994, getting hit from behind at 60 miles per hour. "Dr. Frank comes every other day in California, and I have somebody down in Florida who comes to my house. They get to see my snatch, so they don't mind. Dr. Frank is so horny. Yes, I've done him." (HEVG)

Just as a car accident rammed her into porn, 1994's crash almost knocked her out. But scarred, limping, fat and broke, Weigel returned to f---ing on film.

She takes a rare facial in Deliciously Teri. A ponytailed blonde stud straddles her tits to get himself off. Though Weigel tilts her head back and away, he lands cum on her chin, collagen-injected lips and curly hair.

Teri discusses her career and delivers hot sex in 1996's All About Teri Weigel.

1/10/2000

I heard a lot of talk about Teri Weigel at the convention. She sported a new blonde hair color and was walking around topless, with pasties on her nipples on Monday at IA2000.

"The worst dye job," says one porner. "She drew a big crowd of people to her corner booth, shooting photos."

Dear Ms. Weigel and Mr. Maglio:

We represent Playboy Enterprises International, Inc. ( PEII). We write concerning various actions you have taken, including (i) the use of PEIIs trademarks and on the website, totallyteri.com; (ii) the unauthorized display of PEII-copyrighted images on the totallyteri.com website; and (iii) the registration of the Internet domain names playboycenterfold.org, playmateapril1986.com, playmateteriweigel.com, playboy-playmate.net, playboy-playmates.net, playboymansion.net, playboyprostitute.com, playboyprostitutes.com, playboysluts.net, playboyteriweigel.com, playboyxxx.net, playboy-playboy.com, xxxplayboyxxxx.com, thebadgirlofplayboy.com, and thebadgirlofplayboy.net (the Infringing Domain Names).

This letter is addressed to both of you because it is apparent from our investigation that you are the persons who are directing, and are ultimately responsible for, the violation of PEIIs copyright, trademark and related rights described herein. Teri Weigel is the subject of, and the contact person for, the totallyteri.com website, even though the domain name totallyteri.com is registered to Spearmint Rhino Online (a copy of this letter is being sent to Spearmint Rhino Online). Murril Maglio, who is the technical contact for each of the Infringing Domain Names, and lists as his address the same address given for Totally Teri, the purported registrant of the Infringing Domain Names. Also, the e-mail address for Mr. Maglio is murril@totallyteri.com.

PEII is the owner of the internationally-renowned and federally-registered trademarks PLAYBOY, PLAYMATE, PLAYBOY MANSION and CENTERFOLD (the PEII Marks).

For more than 46 years, PEII and its predecessors have used the PEII Marks in connection with the advertising and sale of adult lifestyle entertainment-related products and services, including the internationally famous PLAYBOY Magazine. PEII currently advertises and promotes the PEII Marks through various channels, including the Internet. PEIIs trademarks are used on its official websites located at, among other locations, www.playboy.com and www.playboystore.com. PEII offers, among other things, adult lifestyle entertainment services and products at its official websites. As a result of the advertising and promotion of the PEII Marks by PEII and its predecessor, the marks have become famous, and are distinctive and highly regarded among consumers and the business community worldwide. The company derives a substantial amount of goodwill and value from them. Millions of consumers worldwide are aware of and have purchased products branded with the PEII Marks.

Your use of the PEII Marks in the Infringing Domain Names and your use of the PEII Marks on the totallyteri.com website infringe and dilute PEIIs trademark and related rights. Moreover, the totallyteri.com website displays PEII-copyrighted photographs without PEIIs permission.

The purpose of this letter is to demand that you immediately cease your illegal and extremely damaging conduct by, among other things, transferring the registrations for the Infringing Domain Names to PEII, removing all references to the PEII Marks and all PEII-copyrighted images from your website, and paying to PEII a minimum of statutory damages for which you are liable for your infringement of PEIIs rights.

Our review of your illegal activities to date reveals, among other things, numerous and flagrant violations of PEIIs copyrights. The totallyteri.com website contains at least 42 photographs that are PEII-copyrighted images. These images are being posted on the website without PEIIs authorization or approval, and infringe PEIIs copyrights in violation of the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq. In addition, the totallyteri.com website uses PEIIs famous PLAYBOY Mark repeatedly by, among other things, placing the title The Bad Girl of Playboy on photographs of Teri Weigel featured on your website.

Ms. Weigels use of the PEII Marks as described herein also constitutes a breach of her contractual obligations to PEII as set forth in the letter agreement between Ms. Weigel and Playboy Enterprises, Inc. dated November 22, 1985. Your use of the PLAYBOY Mark on your website is likely to cause confusion among Internet users who see your site regarding PEIIs endorsement or sponsorship of, or association with, the website or Teri Weigel.

Your unauthorized uses of the PLAYBOY Mark on the totallyteri.com website, in connection with the sale of adult entertainment services and products, violates PEIIs rights including those under Section 32 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1114 (prohibiting infringement of federally registered trademarks), Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) (prohibiting, among other things, false designation of origin), and various state laws prohibiting trademark infringement, false advertising and unfair competition. It is well established that a website incorporating a third partys trademark can constitute trademark infringement and violate Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act and other federal and state laws. See Brookfield Communications, Inc. v. West Coast Entertainment Corp., 174 F.3d 1036 (9th Cir. 1999).

In addition, your use of the PLAYBOY Mark on your website dilutes the distinctiveness of that mark in violation of the Federal Trademark Dilution Act of 1995, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1125(c) and 1127, and analogous state law.

Finally, your registration of the Infringing Domain Names violates the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA). Among other things, your registration of multiple domain names incorporating PEIIs trademarks constitutes bad faith under the ACPA. The registration and use of a domain name that incorporates the PEII Marks, or any confusingly similar name, is also actionable under the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) domain name dispute procedures that are applicable to all domain names within the top-level domains .com or .net. Based on these dispute procedures, PEII is entitled to obtain the transfer or cancellation of the registrations for the Infringing Domain Names. See Sportys Farm L.L.C. v. Sportsmans Market, Inc., 202 F.3d 489 (2d Cir. 2000).

Also, because the Infringing Domain Names incorporate the PEII Marks, they create a likelihood of confusion with PEII. Because you have not yet established websites at any of the Infringing Domain Names, all of which currently feature an advertisement for dotster.com, the registrar of the domain names, Internet users may believe that PEII does not have an active website for its products and services. Of course, since all of the Infringing Domain Names include one or more of the PEII Marks, it is highly likely that any website maintained at those addresses would create a likelihood of confusion and infringe and dilute PEIIs rights.

The remedies available to PEII for this illegal activity include disgorgement of any profits you have made by reason of your infringement; recovery of PEIIs actual damages; and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief. PEII also is entitled to recover statutory damages under the Copyright Act for each copyrighted work infringed. Such recovery does not require proof of actual monetary loss by PEII and can be as much as $30,000 for each infringement. At a minimum, PEII would be entitled to recover statutory damages of $750 for each infringement. In addition, if you are found to have willfully infringed PEIIs copyrights, the amount of statutory damages for each infringed work may be increased up to $150,000. Similarly, the ACPA entitles PEII to recover statutory damages of no less than $1,000 and up to $100,000 per violation of PEIIs trademarks in a domain name.

In addition, if you are found to have misappropriated the PEII Marks knowingly for the purpose of trading off of the distinctive nature and goodwill of those mark, PEII may be entitled to an award of additional damages, including possible punitive damages and its attorneys fees, against you and any other individuals who participated in your illegal activities.

Finally, if your unauthorized use of PEIIs trademarks is found to be a willful counterfeit use, you could be subject to substantially greater statutory remedies, up to $1,000,000 per infringement. See 15 U.S.C. § 1117(c)(2). PEII considers this matter to be very serious and has instructed us to take all appropriate steps immediately to end your illegal and extremely damaging conduct. By this letter, we offer you a chance to resolve this matter amicably. However, as part of any resolution of this matter, Teri Weigel and Murril Maglio and all of their affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, owners, officers and employees, including, without limitation Spearmint Rhino Online and Totally Teri (collectively, the Weigel Entities) must immediately:

Cease advertising, promoting, selling or otherwise distributing any services or products, bearing the names The Bad Girl of Playboy, playboycenterfold.org, playmateapril1986.com, playmateteriweigel.com, playboy-playmate.net, playboy-playmates.net, playboymansion.net, playboyprostitute.com, playboyprostitutes.com, playboysluts.net, playboyteriweigel.com, playboyxxx.net, playboy-playboy.com, xxxplayboyxxxx.com, thebadgirlofplayboy.com, and thebadgirlofplayboy.net or any other name including or otherwise confusingly similar to the PEII Marks.

Cease all infringing use of PEIIs trademarks, including without limitation, all use of the terms Playboy, Playmate, Playboy Mansion or Centerfold in the text, title, html code, domain name and/or Uniform Resource Locator of any website, other than as a biographical description of Ms. Weigel. Cooperate with PEII to effect the transfer to PEII of the registration for the Infringing Domain Names, and all other domain names that include any PEII trademark or any confusingly similar variation thereof. Pay to PEII the minimum statutory damages for which you are liable for your infringements of PEIIs copyrights and violations of the ACPA, in the amount of $46,500.

The minimum statutory damages for which you are liable have been calculated as follows: (1) $31,500 for your infringement of PEIIs copyrights (based on minimum statutory damages of $750 for each of the 42 PEII-copyrighted images posted on the totallyteri.com website without PEIIs authorization or approval); plus (2) $15,000 for your violations of the ACPA (based on minimum statutory damages of $1,000 for each of the Infringing Domain Names registered by you). Confirm, in writing, that the Weigel Entities will (i) comply with each of the above requests; (ii) make no further use of PEIIs trademarks, including use of the terms Playboy, The Bad Girl of Playboy, playboycenterfold.org, playmateapril1986.com, playmateteriweigel.com, playboy-playmate.net, playboy-playmates.net, playboymansion.net, playboyprostitute.com, playboyprostitutes.com, playboysluts.net, playboyteriweigel.com, playboyxxx.net, playboy-playboy.com, xxxplayboyxxxx.com, thebadgirlofplayboy.com, and thebadgirlofplayboy.net and any other names, marks or logos confusingly similar to the PEII Marks; and (iii) not state, suggest or imply that any of the Weigel Entities or their products, services or commercial activities originate or are affiliated with, or are sponsored or endorsed by, PEII.

Please contact me by no later than October 27, 2000 to confirm the Weigel Entities willingness to do the above. If you have not responded by that time, we will be forced to assume that you have refused to cooperate in this matter and shall take whatever steps are necessary to preserve and protect PEIIs rights. I look forward to hearing from you and am hopeful that we can resolve this matter expeditiously. In the interim, however, this letter is not intended as, and should not be construed as, an admission or waiver of any rights that PEII has, all of which are expressly reserved. Very truly yours, James S. Blackburn

Quasarman Rebuffed By Teri Weigel's Hubby

From QuasarmanRants.com: I had planned to shoot another installment of the popular Metro Series "More than a Handful" in May using Ms.Weigel as the star and box cover girl. I expected that she might be a little more expensive than the average big-breasted porn girl who had never had staples through her navel in Playboy magazine so I was prepared to negotiate. Michael Adams, my recently bald but now blonde producer placed a call to find out Ms.Weigel’s price and availability. He quickly discovered that she does not do her own negotiations. These duties are handled by her suitcase pimp who asked Michael Adams how much we were willing to pay "them". Them? I had only made plans to hire HER.

Michael offered Suitcase what we felt was a generous amount for a standard Boy/Girl scene but Suitcase declined the offer and ended the negotiation as though we were Americans attempting to get our spy plane back. I don’t know how much Ms.Weigel gets paid to fornicate with lonely strangers in dark rooms at the Bunny Ranch Brothel in Nevada but what we offered her seems like a reasonable amount to fornicate with a professional male performer on a well lit movie set in the San Fernando Valley. Maybe I’m crazy.

Quasarman aka Mike McCormick writes Luke: Though I fully expected you to cut and paste the Teri Weigel story from my site, I'm amazed at how well you were able to cut and paste so selectively as to make me sound malicious and slanderous. If you were to have posted the entire article your viewers would have been made aware that I am a huge fan of Ms.Weigel and that I am disappointed a deal could not be struck to have her in my next video. Also, I was not rebuffed by anyone, Michael Adams was. It is unforunate that Ms.Weigel chooses to have her husband handle her affairs but that is her business not mine. I was merely reporting my perspective on the events as I understood them. Now kindly bury this email at the bottom of the page where no one will think to look for it as you usually do.

Teri Weigel Interview

I call her Friday afternoon, October 29, 2004.

"I do my shows across the country 30 weeks of the year. I sing and dance in adult clubs. I do a Sam Kinison-tune of Wild Thing with a comedy skit. I put my own words to it depending on who is on stage. I put a pair of panties on them and then we go into the YMCA song.

"When I get burned out, I take a week or two off and do normal things like cook every night and bicycle ride. That rejuvenates me. After two weeks, I've had enough of that normalness, and I'm ready to go back into that chaos, working, being in the spotlight. Entertaining is what I do the best.

"Sometimes it will get frustrating because you get someone up from the audience who is drunk and a jerk..."

What color is your hair these days?

"I'm dark. I was blonde. Then I was two-toned with the blonde underneath and the dark on top. About two weeks ago, I switched and I'm completely dark.

"I'm 36DD-22-33. I weigh about 117-120 pounds. I watch what I eat. I don't eat any sugar. I eat one meal a day. I drink a ton of coffee in the morning. Then about 4 pm is my meal. I have a piece of lean meat and a baked potato, pasta and a green salad.

"I've been married about 15 years [to Murrill Maglio]. Whatever I'm feeling, I'm able to express to him. He does the same to me. I don't hold anything back. If I dream about f---ing somebody, I just tell him."

How do you guys deal with jealousy?

"When you're married so long, I don't think there is such a thing. In the first seven years, there is that jealousy. You're afraid that other person is going to leave for somebody else."

How's your neck and back?

"Halloween marks the tenth year of the [car] accident. I just had another surgery. The fusion has worked. I'm still healing. The lower back is fine. The scars are minimal. For ten years, I was in so much pain. That's over.

"I feel good. I've got a really good attitude. I'm very humble. I'm at a happy part in my life."

When did you last have a breast job?

"January 2003. My third. I went up a cup size to DD. I felt that seven years had passed [from breast surgery number two] and I was a little concerned that jumping around on stage, what the sacks would look like. I took them out for safety reasons. I didn't need to. The sacks were in good shape. It was just a worry that I had.

"Now I have silicone jell implants. I had saline the first time, after I did my layout for Playboy [in 1985]. I had a leak in one. My doctor was Michael Jackson's doctor. He worked for Playboy. I had one side that was bigger than the other. He put two used breast implants in there and one was leaking.

"So after the second one was done, and six years passed, I thought it would be the same thing. But they were in great condition. I've kept them. Yesterday I pulled them out and pinched them to see what it would take to pop them.

"I'm putting out my own line of movies -- Teri Weigel from Pyro Entertainment. I took a whole-page out in AVN next month [to promote the line]."

How has your sexuality changed as you've grown older?

"It's slowed. It's hard when you're working so much, you're so tired... When you're younger, at the flip of a hat, you'd jump it. As you get older, it's more quality than quantity."

How long do you want to work in front of the camera and on stage?

"That's a hard question. I ask myself that every day. I'm happy that I've kept my looks and my body in good shape. If I still keep my weight down, I could go another ten years."

Have you noticed a change in the general public's attitude towards adult entertainment?

"It used to be just guys coming in. Now we've got couples and girls. It's more accepted. We fought hard for that. When we came into those clubs, the dancers hated us for being porn stars. Now when we come in, we are looked up at -- by having great costumes, being professional, setting examples for the girls..."

What do you think of the phenomenon of porn star escorts?

"I don't think it is that big of a deal. Sometimes you do movies with people you don't even know. When I first got into doing adult stuff, it [escorting] was so frowned upon. The more you would talk to the girls, the more you would hear that they were doing one-on-ones and they'd ask you to do this guy. Now it is where they all do it. If they say that they don't, they're lying. Because they all do. Every single one of them.

"I'm on the road almost every week. I've never heard of these girls before. I don't know who they are. Ten years ago, when they said, Amber Lynn was just here. Or Racquel Darrian. You knew them.

"These girls [today] do everything so there is no identifying them with anything. So many of them lie about how much money they make. One girl says she makes millions of dollars a year. The top girls make between $200,000 -- $750,000 a year."

Are you going to write a book one day about your career?

"I am. I just haven't found the person yet to ghostwrite for me. I had a week. I went grocery shopping and to the bookstore, because I like to read. I was reading some Sydney Sheldon and authors I really like. I came across this journal and I picked it up and I thought to myself, I'm going to start writing every day exactly what I do.

"I started by going to a Whole Food store. I made all the natural ingredients to make pizza. I made the pizza dough. I made the sauce from scratch. It took me five hours. I wrote it in the first entry in my journal.

"I figure that when I come across somebody that I really like and who knows me, I'm going to let them write the book."

Has the attitude of family and friends towards you changed over the years?

"I think so. They didn't know what happened to me and why I chose to do what I did. I'm such a sweet person. I'm very nice. I have schooling. They didn't understand my choice. Through the years, it has not been a discussion. They know that I am still the same person and that whatever decision I've made must be good, because I'm good. My mom still doesn't like it but that's my mom. My dad passed away last year. We never had conversations about it. My mom would always cut it off. 'I don't want to talk about it.'

"Through the years, I've tried to tell her certain things about when I go into clubs and table-dance...just to broaden her perspective. I want her to understand. What I do is help a lot of people. I show a lot of love. I've got a lot of patience. I sit with people. I talk to them through their problems.

"I get involved with the girls in the back and try to help them. It's totally different from what she knows about. She's a schoolteacher. I feel like I'm a sex teacher. But she doesn't understand that. She won't accept that."
