Australian Penthouse

American adult movie star and “CE-Ho” of porn studio BurningAngel, Joanna Angel talks to us about her recent visit to Australia, her most memorable bonk, and a fantasy threesome with Iggy Pop and David Bowie

Hey, Joanna! What are your stats?
I am five feet tall, I have C-cup boobs, a 61cm waist, pink and black completely unnatural hair, brown eyes, a big smile and a big nose!

Did you enjoy your visit to Sydney for Sexpo?
I had a great time in Australia, and I’m not just saying that because I’m trying to impress you. Sydney is a beautiful city, with lots of good food and fun places to go shopping. I also went to the zoo and took a picture with a koala, and I look at that photo at least once a day and think about how incredibly adorable he was. I miss him. We really had something special.

What do you think of Aussie guys?
I think Aussie men are sexy and, in general, really buff, really polite, and very funny. A great combination.

Is it tough to operate BurningAngel in an industry that’s dominated by men and big studios such as Vivid and Digital Playground?
I think the big studio aspect is more of a challenge than the male-dominated aspect. The best way to fight a male-dominated industry is to just not be dominated. If you act like a businesswoman, people treat you like a businesswoman. I carry myself pretty well and, as a result, I rarely feel disrespected by anyone. Being around the big studios is tough sometimes. I find myself getting jealous and frustrated by the amount of money they all seem to have. I really hope we have a fancy office one day and can put out hundreds of movies a year where people jump out of helicopters and light buildings on fire and stuff, but I try not to focus too much on what other people are doing and just try to be the best at what I’m doing.

Where do you see BurningAngel going in the next five years?
I think we’ll be doing everything we’re currently doing, just on a bigger and better scale. I hope we can put out more movies, update all of our websites more often and add a whole lot more community features to the main site so everyone can just live on BurningAngel.com and be addicted to it the way I’m addicted to Twitter (@JoannaAngel)!

What does a typical day involve for you?
My days are always different! Some days I do a lot of interviews, some days I’m on set directing or performing or both, and some days – like today – I sit in my pyjamas at my computer answering the never-ending sea of emails.

Do you prefer acting, directing or scriptwriting?
My favourite movies are the ones where I’ve done all three, like my latest feature, Joanna’s Angels 3. I spent about a month writing the script, then I spent another month putting everything together – booking talent, organising sets, shopping for wardrobe, etc. On set, I switched back and forth from being in front to behind the camera. It’s exhausting but so exciting, and I wouldn’t be able to pull it off if I didn’t have such an amazing crew working for me.

Where do you find your sexy starlets? Could an Aussie girl become one?
We have a model application on BurningAngel.com, so it’s just like any other job. We pick our girls based on their looks and personalities. If someone is super hot but sucks as a person, chances are I won’t be hiring them. An Aussie girl can apply to be on BurningAngel.com, however, we would have to physically go to Australia to shoot her. Who knows, if a whole bunch of hot Australians apply, we could make a trip over there and shoot them all at once – you never know!

You like humour in your movies. Do you think laughter and sex naturally go together?
I think porn makes a lot of people uncomfortable, so I try to make them feel more comfortable with laughter. It’s a good way to ease people in who either haven’t watched porn before or have watched in the past but were turned off by it for some reason. Plus I like to watch my own movies and I love comedies, so if I can’t entertain myself, then what the hell is the point of all this!

What’s been your proudest moment so far?
I was so incredibly happy when I won my first AVN Award in 2005 for Most Outrageous Sex Scene in the movie Re-Penetrator. We were such a small company back then, and we had produced only two movies ourselves. I was so amazed we won and it was the greatest feeling ever.

Your website features band interviews and album reviews. Do you see porn and music as complementary forms of entertainment?
I think most people who like BurningAngel porn are also into music. I really love music, and the fact that I have a website showing a bunch of people banging is a good way for me to get people’s attention!

Do you have a favourite tattoo? If so, why?
I have a zombie-looking stiletto heel on my back with teeth and claws. Right now, that’s my favourite. It’s unique and colourful, and sexy and scary at the same time. It’s like all the different elements of myself are in that tattoo!

Tell us about your most memorable fuck, either on film or in your personal life.
Me, another porn star who shall remain nameless, James Deen and Steve Holmes had a little orgy in my hotel room during the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas. It was one of the few times I’ve been DPd that had nothing to do with a movie, and the other girl involved tried it for the first time. It was like doing a porn scene without all the make-up, high heels and hot lights.

If you could pick any two people, living or dead, for a fantasy three-way, who would you choose and why?
Iggy Pop and David Bowie… but they have to be resurrected from the late ’70s, with the same outfits, the same make-up, and the same drug problems. I’m just assuming it would be a lot of fun, and I would feel like I’m banging guys and girls at the same time! Either that or a three-way with Barack Obama and Lady Gaga that’s secretly being filmed on my phone. I’m pretty sure they’re the two most famous people in the world right now, so I could live off that celebrity sex tape for the rest of my life… and so could my kids… and my grandkids. Hey, I’m a businesswoman – I have to incorporate business into my fantasy threesome, right? I have no doubt that Lady Gaga is really good in the sack. I’m not so sure about Barack Obama, but I’m sure Gaga and I could think of some fun things to do to him…
