Free Speech Revolution:Interview With Smokie Flame
by M. Dickinson
1) How long have you been in the industry? How did you get started? Have you had fun in the industry?
5 1/2 years, I got in with my now husband and we thought it was extremely fun after our first amateur shoot together. It took me about 5 months to start doing other guys and not just my guy and girls. We did our first shoot for fun, the thought of money was there as well if I told you other wise I would be lying as would any girl. I have had tons of fun in the adult industry, I have made some great friends and experienced things I never thought I would in a million years and in my eyes my career and the fun is just beginning.
2) Are you concerned with the rights of the adult industry to make and produce movies/web clips?
I am very concerned Mike, not that anyone will ever make it to where we cant do it, if they did they would create one of the largest black markets the world have ever seen. I am concerned that the idiot politicians will start making dumb restrictions or something dumb like a full rubber suit one day. hahaha
3) A lot of the problem people have with the adult industry is the misconception that “pornographers” are always trying to lure under age people in and make “kiddie porn”.
Could you talk about what it is actually like on a set, as far as having ID, signing model releases, having a AIM test, etc? Have you seen or heard of anyone in the legitimate adult industry knowingly using minors in films or the web?
OMG NO! We do not try to lure young girls in anyway. We wont even allow a
17 year old girl hang around at a party that is adult industry related. On every set I have ever been on, I have been required to have 2 forms of ID one being picture, we sign model releases that easily in terms most anyone could understand so there is no confusion about your image being sold online or in a store, and every scene that does not have a condom in it AIM tests are always used. At least by us smart girls and companies. I wont risk it, I wont take a test that is 31 days old, 30 days is the cut off. I know girls that are stricter and some companies require there guys be tested every 2 weeks. I have never heard a story or witnessed anyone purposely use a minor for any adult. Every story that is truthful that I have heard since I have been in the industry is girls pulling fast ones on producers. Some of those fake IDs are really good, but those fake ids can cost a producer anywhere from $10k to $250k, and thats just in production and DVD costs on some of these movies. That alone gives us a great reason to not wish to shoot a girl thats underage, I have been on sets where they scan your ID, call in a check your passport and pretty much do everything in there power to make sure you are who you are and you are over 18, even if you look 40.
4) Do you ever get offended by shows like South Park or Family Guy? What do you think about shows/writing the offends people?
A cartoon or anything on TV for that matter does not offend me at all.
Even when they attack teh adult industry or make every model look dumb as a door knob. Its TV, its supposed to be funny and Im sorry but the funniest comedy shows I have been to is when the guy is making fun of real stuff. The truth may hurt but damn if it isnt funny. As for people who do get offended, they make this device called a remote. Put it on Discovery, or a Religious channel and leave my channels alone. If you dont wish to watch something then dont, why bitch about it? But it has always been the human way to hate on your neighbor instead of tolerating your neighbor.
5) What do you think about some of the stuff that pushes the limit in the adult industry, stuff like Max Hardcore, Kink.com, JM Productions?
Umm some of it I do not agree with. What Max Hardcore does is gross. He breaks the law everytime he shoots and it makes the rest of us look bad.
And I have heard some horror stories of what he has done to some girls.
You are only as strong as your weakest link. He is now in jail for distributing illegal content on the shelfs. I grew up as a cops daughter, and I have a son. Just because we dont agree with a law does not give us the right to break it. However I have shot with Kink.com many times and they follow the law, everything on there site is staged to look like us girls are in serious distress yet we are not. Is it always comfortable HELL no, is it painful sometimes YES. But we know what we are getting into and they take our safety very seriously, almost to the point that its annoying. But thats better than the not.
I love kink and the movement of bondage and female domination. Hell I even shoot male mutilation, there are guys out there that enjoy being beat and dominated in a VERY painful way, but the key is they are enjoying themselves, they know what is going on, and we are not hurting anyone or being icky. Peeing on people is not porn in my eyes its smut. I have been in one film, Squealer, that involved peeing on girls but it was 1 girl in the film that got peed on and i was not in the shot, I did not agree with it but what are you going to do when its not you and the people peeing on each other are married?
6) Have you ever been asked to do a scene or something on film that you thought was crazy and wondered if it was offensive/legal? What was it? Did you do the scene or the act anyway?
Yes, all the time. Its sort of like drugs tho. You can say no, and usually when you say no that person doesn’t keep asking. I have had some sleaze bag producers try to spring stuff on me last minute that I refuse to do on film. I am not a weak person tho I am always willing to walk away from a shoot that I disagree with. There isn’t alot I wont do, but the things I wont mostly include illegal acts such as urination, fisting, once I was offered a bestiality scene (but it wasn’t a professional company). I will be honest I did a fisting scene, but it was my very first shoot but I was unaware such a simple dumb thing was illegal. Now that I know I wont do it, and everything else thats on the illegal list i sort of find gross so why would I want to do it? Everything I have done on film and almost every girl I know has done is what we enjoy in our personal lives.
7) Why do you think America has such a fascination with sex and with regulating sex?
It goes all the way back to the colonies being founded by our fore-fathers. The pilgrims, were nothing but prude religious nuts kicked out of england by the queen. Our founding fathers were prudes and we were founded on prude ideals. However some of there ideals led us to be able to have the prudes bitch at us yet not be able to do anything because by default they enforced our rights as well. So regardless of who is right or wrong everyone is entitled to there opinion. Do I wish those who ridicule the adult industry would treat us like we do them, with a blind eye. Very much so Mike I would love that, its not going to happen though so why dwell on it. Its there energy being waisted not ours.
You are at the highest level of the adult industry. A lot of people in the industry have told me that most the people in the industry don’t care about protecting free speech, or really about anyone other then themselves and their money. Do you think this is true? Do you think a lot of the people that are new to the industry care or have any concern about free speech and protecting the right to make movies?
And they are very much right. There are only a handful of people in the adult industry who even have a single clue about what the adult industry does each year to protect our rights for the idiots to make porn. I do keep up with the different laws and regulations, I have as I make porn as well not just act in it. The 2257 regulation that is simple known to most as “2257″ on a model release changes nearly every 3 months. And if the government were left un-checked by some of our attorneys we would need rubber suits to make porn. As for new people, you cant expect them to understand what people like Larry Flynt have done for our industry, even if you watched his movie. Most people think the fight ended in the 70s and 80s when in fact the internet only re-enforced the fight by the american government. Most people get into the adult industry for money, regardless of what they say. It is usually because they need easy money (talent) or because they know how much money is involved in adult (producers) no one gets into porn because they wish to re-enforce there freedoms.
9) Is the “character” you play in your DVD’s anything like you in real life?
Somewhat yes, I try to have fun and am very sexual in my personal life. I am usually half naked when my son isn’t home, if not completely naked haha. I also only do things I enjoy, you could offer me a ridicules number for a scene. If I dont like what its is or am not into it I wont do it, which I think makes a scene better when you like what your doing anyways.
And as I said before Im into some very
odd stuff, even I have been shocked to find out how much I liked doing some things I wasn’t to sure about at the beginning. Like kicking a guy in the balls, I thought it was cruel before. But if the guy wants it, HOLY SHIT is it fun! Like i said Im odd, but I have the right to be just like everyone else!
10) What is the craziest thing you have done/or scene you’ve been in on camera?
Hmm thats a hard one, I have done some stuff I never in a million years thought I would ever do. I was hung in a basket and fucked from underneath, that was crazy, It was in Squealer from Hustler. I was in a male mutilation video and after beating the guy up and literally kicking and stomping his balls I chopped off his balls with a HUGE knife (No it wasn’t real LOL) I dont think I will top these things, but doing the hardcore bondage I have done there’s a pretty long list of crazy things in my diary haha.
11) Have you been involved with trying to change people’s opinions about the industry?
Nope, I stay away from those arguments. They get out of hand real fast. I wont even defend myself to a person who attacks what I do to my face, I will just walk away. I may tell them to go fuck them selves but it is pointless to change dumb peoples minds. Waist of energy that I can put towards pleasing my fans and people into the stuff im into. And dont think that all my friends are in the adult industry, most are not.
And I have very wealthy friends, that are from the mainstream world due to my husbands marketing company. We know doctors, dentists, hell I know a few race team owners. None of which are prudes, would they like to see there daughters do what I do probably not. Do i act like a porn star in front of them and there families, no i act like a normal person. Peoples ways are peoples ways, oddest story I have for you fits this question. I lived next to a guy who had a semi-attractive girlfriend.
They were in there early 30’s and he thought it was just as gross for to girls to be together as he did for 2 guys. And that from any guy is just rare and odd. It was great though, I lived on one side of him and my girlfriend at the time lived on the other. What I found odd was we were both hot, he was the first and only guy, prude or not, not get a hard-on when 2 cute girls kiss.
12) Why do you think the industry is so caught up on the portrayal of
young- a lot of DVD’s always say “18 & 19 years old” etc?
Have you seen an 18 year old lately? I mean really why in the hell wouldn’t a guy find a barely legal extremely hot girl just yummy. Its not some new thing, Hustler has had the magazine Barely Legal since the early 90s and its a top seller. Always has been. Im not saying only young girls are hot, matter of fact most 18 -19 year old girls will get on your nerves after being around them any longer then 10 minutes. Hang out on a shoot with a young girl, you will see what I mean.
But hey we are all dumb when we are young and we all think we know it all when we are young. As for why do we market it so much?
Every male on this planet no matter prude, fully anti-gay, anti-porn, every single one of them find young girls attractive. Every one who is attracted to girls looks when they pass a college at the 18-19 year old girls, every guy wishes his wife would stay looking and feeling the way she did when she was 18. Girls are soft, there skin is perfect at 18. It is also the way 18 year olds are, teenagers LOVE fun, and what guy does not like a girl that LOVES fun and sex?? It simply sells better then any other niche in the industry. I even prefer my videos to be with girls 18-21.
