I spoke Wednesday morning, September 18, 2002
with porn star Zana of www.nakedzana.com.
Luke: "You get up early."
Zana: "I have to. I've got a lot of things to do. I figure if
I get my stuff taken care of early, I have my evenings to do what
I want. I'm more of a day person than a night person. I know that
I can't make my phone calls until 10ish but I can always email
anytime."
Luke: "It seems that many people in this industry don't get up
before noon."
Zana: "That drives me crazy. I always arrive 15 minutes before
my call time.
"My website opened a couple of months ago. I'm very involved in
it. The only thing I don't know how to do is how to put the sh--on
the web. I hate pop-up windows so I have no pop-up windows. Once
I learned how to upload one little section, I felt like I had
accomplished something. I answer all my email even if it takes
me all day. It's funny. People think that I hire somebody to write
to them.
"I got into this business to get laid. I didn't even consider
the fan part."
Zana entered porn in December of 2000.
Zana told www.pornstardata.com: "While I lived in Chicago I was
working at a bunch of different clubs. From there I started checking
out multiple-partner sex. You know, picking up couples instead
of just single guys and girls. I then moved my way up to small
groups (just a couple of close friends that I had never met before)...
just standard nymphomaniac stuff. It was great and I loved every
minute of it. But after a while I figured out that if one person
was good, then two or three would really be good. The more you
have, the better it would be.... right? And boy was I right!!!
One night I was lucky enough to be the center of attention in
a seven-guy gangbang as the only female. It was a whole hell of
a lot of fun. I got a cum bath and everything! But there was a
good amount of wood trouble, and some of the guys could have been
a little bigger. But that night, after they had all left, I popped
in a porno tape that I had picked up somewhere in my travels.
I noticed that all of the guys in it were pretty well hung and
pretty good-looking. But most importantly, they had to keep f-cking
over and over again, in multiple positions; until someone else
told them it was time to cum! How cool would that be? I thought
to myself, “I can do that!” How hard could it be? If you want
a full account of my first two days in porn and what got me there,
check out my “True Tale of Lust”. It's all 100% true, right down
to the first pop-shot."
Zana: "In Chicago, I talked to feature dancer Lisa Ann, who's
now a good friend of mine, and asked her how to get into porno.
She told me about all the good people. She said that before I
moved to California, I should fly out here and do a couple of
movies to see if I liked it. I flew out here and did a couple
of movies and found I really liked it. I packed up and moved.
I've done about 140 movies since."
Luke: "How has it affected your personal relationships with men?"
Zana: "Not at all. I'm a straight forward unthreatened type of
person. I like to surround myself with good people who have no
issues."
Luke: "Do you think most porn stars enjoy their work?"
Zana: "I'm not sure. I think some of them do. I see a lot who
are doing it for money. I enjoy myself 100% of the time. I laugh
every time I go to the bank.
"The only thing that bothers me is waiting. I'm impatient. I'm
there to get laid. I want to get in, get laid, and get out."
Luke: "How did you like doing the Tera Show?"
Zana: "I love doing that show. She's so much fun. She's a sweetheart.
She's lighthearted and sweet and you are guaranteed to have a
good time."
Luke: "Do you ever get recognized?"
Zana: "Only a couple of people have said something. I went to
Jamaica. I figured nobody would recognize me. My room was not
ready. I went to hang out at the pool. It was a nude pool. I went
swimming. Suddenly I heard this Jamaican in this Jamaican accent
going, 'Ohmigod, it's Zana. Hey Zana, I'm your biggest fan. I
have your movies.'
"I started talking to him. He was ultra nice and respectful. I
guess the only thing he watches at home is porn and he plays video
games. He said, 'I look for your name. And then when you're not
on, I'll play video games until you come on.' Good Lord!"
Luke: "Has it ever been a bad experience to be a porn star and
have people discriminate against you?"
Zana: "Oh no. I take everything with a grain of salt. I don't
think I've heard any rumors about me. Nobody's been mean to me.
If they were, it goes in one ear and out the other. I'm happy
with who I am so it doesn't matter. I haven't had any bad experiences
in the industry. I mind my own business. I don't bullsh-t with
everybody."
Luke: "Have you done interracial?"
Zana: "Yes, with Lexington Steele. He's a sweetheart. One of my
biggest turnons is manners and respect. I don't know what he does
to other people and it's not my concern because he's respectful
to me.
"I'm a size queen. I'm not a clitoral person. In fact, I don't
want anyone touching it. But penetration, you can stick whatever
you want, and I'm happy. The bigger, the better."
Luke: "You've never encountered a penis that's too big."
Zana laughs. "No."
Luke: "How old were you when you lost your virginity?"
Zana: "15. My mom always told me to be giving."
Luke: "What does she think of her daughter the porn star?"
Zana: "She doesn't know I am in porn."
Luke: "Any of your classmates from high school discover you in
porn?"
Zana: "Not that I know of. I was a cheerleader in high school
and I've worn my cheerleader uniform in a couple of movies."
Luke: "What have been your most memorable experiences in this industry?"
Zana: "My first DP and my first double anal. [Both for Puritan.]
In the regular world, you try to get two men together with their
cocks that close together and they get nervous and their penises
don't function well."
Luke: "And these porn experiences were good experiences?"
Zana: "Oh yeah. All my good experiences have to do with sex."
Luke: "Has working in this industry changed your view of men?"
Zana: "Oh no. I love men. I love women. I love men and women who
are respectful and good, down to earth, people. I've met people
in the business who hate men and hate women. Then why are you
f---ing them?
"I love women for their softness, smell and soft touch. I love
men. They're grabbing. Their hard touch. I love women but I need
a man to finish me off."
Luke: "How many times a week do you like to get laid?"
Zana: "Every day if possible. That's why I got in this business.
"I remember when I first got into the business, somebody told
me, 'You're going to be sore and not want to work.' Then I ended
up getting sore and I wanted more."
Luke: "Do you think the industry is doing a good job testing for
HIV and other STDs?"
Zana: "Mitch [Sharon Mitchell at AIM] is doing the best she can
with what she has to work with. I've always been condom-only.
I always check tests."
Luke: "Do you take facials?"
Zana: "I eat it all."
I first met Zana on the 9/10/02 Tera Show.
Zana says he dress was given to her by a gay friend. Zana and
Tera were going to switch dresses but they take them off instead
and leave them on the floor.
Tera: "People tell me that I have the easiest job. But it's not
easy to be seen naked."
Zana: "I'd rather be naked than wear clothes."
Zana: "I did one double-anal. It was a helluva a lot of fun though
everybody says I sounded like a dog."
Tera: "I went out on a date with this huge rugby player. Things
were getting passionate and clothes were flying off and he had
a two inch dick. I said, 'ohmigod.' I took a cab away from his
house. He was chasing me, 'Why are you leaving?' And I'm like,
you don't understand, I can't take a small penis."
Zana: "Before I know your name, let me see how big your dick is.
I'm not wasting my time."
Tera: "We don't have time to waste. We're career women. It's hard
to find a good f-ck."
Zana: "I've even had people fly in from different states. I've
tried everything. I got on the internet and I had this guy arrange
a gangbang for me."
Tera: "It sounds like with Adult Friend Finder, all your lonely
nights can be filled with gangbangs and double penetrations."
Zana: "One guy brought me a bouquet of flower. Wow, for a gangbang,
that's really nice. Nine of them showed up. One guy slammed his
beer down on my table and said, 'You can call me Mad Dog.' I said,
'You can call yourself a cab. I don't care what we're arranging,
you're not going to be disrespectful.' Another one was 95 years
old. I accepted seven of them.
"Whatever happened to hello? Hello is the best pick-up line."
Tera: "Men won't come up to me. That's why I don't go out."
Zana: "It's bad when you get people who drive by and whistle and
keep going. I think, how do you know you're not going to get some?
I'm giving. My momma told me to be generous."
Tera points out a tattooed guy in the audience. "That's who I've
been f-cking for the past week."
Tera: "I feel really unladylike chewing gum. I like sucking."
Zana: "My first scene was an anal scene for Wicked. Then ten minutes
later, I freshened up and did a DP."
