Adult Film Star Sasha Hollander to Present Howard Stern with The Blowguard & The Blow-Vibes on Tuesday June 9th
Up and coming porn starlet Sasha Hollander who was previously represented by Type 9 Models, seems to have made a big career move and is now represented by Gold Star New York. Making the move over to Gold Star Modeling from her former home of Type 9 models seems to have agreed with Sasha Hollander as she seems to be pulling away from the likes of Pamela Peaks, who seems to previously had control of Sasha’s official website. Under the control of Pamela Peaks the website focused more on escorting and “private shows” instead of her budding career as a porn star.
By the design of the old site you could tell that Pamela Peaks seemed to be more interested in pimping out the young Sasha Hollander for what they were calling “half hour sessions”. The Sasha Hollander website is now “under construction” and I’m told the new version will be cleaned up, more professional looking and most importantly not promote illegal activities such as escorting.
Under her work with Gold Star we also get a much nicer set of photos of Sasha Hollander. Her profile page tells us that she is not only being booked out of their NY office but that she’s now living there as well. She is pretty much open to any type of scene – g/g, blow job, something called a blow bang (a blow jog gang bang maybe?), foot job, hand jobs, normal boy / girl stuff, fetish shoots and more.
Sasha Hollander has been in a handful of DVDs including Perverted, Miso Ghetto, and Candy Shop’s Afro Invasian 6.
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day how we often don’t appreciate the fine art of being a star, a porn star. We sort of lump everyone that performs in adult movies as a porn STAR but in reality there are vast differences between a porn star and all the rest. We got into this conversation while talking about the whole Michael Ninn situation and how little respect the owner of Ninn Worx_SR, John L. Gray has for porn stars and basically treats them like dime a dozen strippers.
So really what does define a porn star over a common stripper or aspiring porn starlet? The first thing I would say would be industry recognition so that would be judged best by award nominations. But that alone is not enough. A true porn STAR would be someone who’s name can carry an entire movie and by that I mean sell well.
Say what you will but in the end this business, like others is about MONEY and without it there is no porn industry so we would need no porn stars. So a true porn star would need to be someone who can make that movie they were just in sell. Let’s look at some examples ….
First we have the look of a common stripper. Sure she’s cute and has the potential to be a porn star but in this picture we see her as a stripper. This really is a picture of a Devon before she was famous. It was when she was a stripper, hoping to one day be a porn star and boy what a difference the two photos show.
Now here is the photo of that same girl once she has become a porn star! She became a porn STAR not just based on the fact that she starred in adult films or got some award nominations but because she got name recognition and a decently large fan base. If you made a movie with Devon in it (back when this photo was taken) this shit would sell.
Next we have Sasha Hollander. She in fact has been in several pornos including Afro Invasion 6 from Candy Shop. But she isn’t a porn star. We will classify her as an aspiring porn star or porn starlet. Although she has about a year of experience in the industry her name has yet to really draw in the fans.
Next we have someone who has been in the industry quite a few years. She has a large number of titles under her belt, and some award nominations including a few Urban Spice Award nominations. She is a feature performer on the dance circuit but in reality she’s never really passed the fame threshold. In fact, she didn’t even get a nod on the hot 100 who featured porn stars that I personally considered so non existent it wasn’t even funny but that sort of brings me back to my point. Not everyone can be a STAR and in this case we have an industry veteran, who although hot still is not a porn star.
So next I give you every definition of what a star is. Some of you may be annoyed by her and others may not find her all that attractive but say what you will, this bitch sells fucking movies that she appears in. Her name alone makes many fans look twice at the movie simply because she is in the movie. She is famous both in the industry and in the real world.
Oh wait, you thought I was talking about Tera Patrick didn’t you? Well no. Although all that I said may be true about Tera Patrick, I am actually referring to Sunny Leone. Who besides her large fan base in the porn world also has done quite a bit of mainstream work as well including appearing in the upcoming My Bare Lady 2, a Fox reality show.
Now that I’ve said all of this I want to point out that it’s not a direct insult saying you aren’t a porn star. It’s just that well the term means more than just some chick who appears in an adult film. The term porn star means someone who has reached success in the adult film industry and the judge of that includes award nominations and large sales of their DVDs. You can be the sweetest, most attractive person in the world but it doesn’t make you a STAR … a porn star. Only the big bucks associated with the sale of your DVDs can do that.
I may be a porn star but I’m no hooker proudly proclaims Kayden Kross, stars of such titles as Be Here Now and Deeper 9. Over at the Mike South website, Kayden Kross has been blogging up a storm and today her subject is prostitution. She points out how as a stripper, hooking on the side was looked down upon and as a porn star it’s very common place to be propositioned … even by so called industry professionals.
Kayden Kross says “I just couldn’t stand the assumption that I would fuck the fat-walrus-looking man for $300 in the back. Thats all. I don’t personally have a problem with the transaction made between a hooker and a john. I think it should be legal. There is one way to solve the CA budget deficit. Tax hookers. We’ll run Nevada out of business. But when a disgusting dude asks me if he can stick his nubby little penis somewhere in me, he’s only asking because he assumes there is a chance. I don’t like it when its assumed that I’m a hooker.”
Kayden Kross’s take on the concept of porn stars and escorting is quite insightful considering so many of her co-workers do it including girls like Pamela Peaks and our newly interviewed Sasha Hollander. What’s most interesting about her rant is that she has decided to make public any man who solicits her for sex via Myspace or from her private email account and if they send her pictures she’s going to post them too. If nothing else it will be funny to see how this one turns out.
You know between all the Madelyn Knight and Gene Simmons, we’ve had a lot of talk about hookers lately. So I thought what better time than now to sit down and actually have a talk with one. I would like to take a moment to introduce you all to a young lady by the name of Sasha Hollander of www.xxxsashahollander.com.
Just off the set of her newest movie (another installment of Afro Invasion from Candy Shop I think). Much to my surprise she’s very sweet and I had a very nice talk with her. She was sober, answered all my questions no matter how nosey or off the wall and overall I must say it was a truly enjoyable experience. For those of you who don’t know Sasha Hollander is, by trade a nude model and porn star. She’s rather new to the adult industry but says she’s done layouts for magazine’s such as Hustler and Penthouse and she’s appeared in quite a few movies including:
To give you a little biographical background, Sasha Hollander was born on December 31st in Torrance, CA. Her ethnic heritage is Phillipino. Sasha Hollander began her career in the adult industry in November 2, 2007. Sasha Hollander tells me that she can remember the exact day. More than most people can say.
Measurements 34C
Height 5 feet, 1 inches
Weight 114 lbs
So when I asked Miss Hollander what made her decide to get into the business of being a porn star she began to tell me a story. One that was quite insightful and very analytical. It wasn’t quite the answer I was expecting from a girl who just finished giving three guys a blow job and having a dildo rammed up her crotch. She told me how she began researching the world’s most famous porn stars and then specifically the Asian stars. She came across names like Kobe Tai and Asia Carrera but knew they were no longer in the business. She also found names like Katsumi and Tera Patrick but for the most part realized that the big stars are mostly blonde bombshells and how there is really a open niche for the right asian girl. She wanted to be more than just another Kobe Tai and Asia Carrera though. Sasha Hollander has her sights on being the first Asian porn star to reach the heights of Jenna Jameson.
I started to point out the technically someone down the blood line Tera Patrick has some Asian heritage but then realized that the girl may just have a point, not many really consider Tera Patrick in the Asian niche anyway.
So as Sasha Hollander continues to explain her plan to be the Asian Jenna Jameson of the porn world, I began to wonder exactly how many “famous” Asian porn stars there really are right now. And just to be clear, by famous I don’t mean some chick who’s done a couple movies. By FAMOUS I mean like top 25 porn stars in the business right now like Tera Patrick, Briana Banks, Lanny Barby, Jesse Jane famous. There is Tera Patrick, Katsumi (who now seems to go by the name Katsuni), but off the top of my head I can’t really think of any more.
Roxy Jezel won that Jenna Jameson thing so that puts her in the top then there is Lucy Lee but isn’t she still in jail? As my mind finishes wondering I come to realize that Sasha Hollander is ready for her next question, so I quickly rambled out the first thought from my head. It was something about who she was dating or was she married.
It was then Sasha told me that she wasn’t married but that she was engaged to the man of her dreams and they are planning for a Christmas wedding. Turns out she met her future husband on the set of a Pink Visual movie. He is in the industry and she will only say he is “male talent” and at this time doesn’t wish to tell us his name.
I asked what her future husband thought of her plans to take over the porn world as the Asian Jenna Jameson and she assured me that he was completely supportive of her plans or she wouldn’t be with him. She told him when they got together that she is very head strong and nothing is going to get in her way and stop her from achieving her plans of becoming rich, very rich.
Sasha Hollander tells me that her first movie really changed her life. She was really nervous and her first scene was with T. J. Cummings. She didn’t know what to do and she wasn’t given much direction. It was just assumed she knew what she was supposed to do but in reality she tells us she didn’t have a clue. She didn’t know if she was supposed to fake an orgasm or try and really have one. In the end she loved it. She really liked working with T.J. Cummings and joked that he was so great she never fucked another Asian guy again.
Next I wanted to know about people she admired in the industry. I expected your typical “Jenna Jameson” or “Asia Carrera” kind of answer. But surprisingly that isn’t what I got. Sasha told me that she would be happy to take the place of Paulina James any day of the week and the three people she looks forward to working with the most in the near future is Nikki Zane, Rocco Reed and Johnny Castle.
Our talk then turned to politics. I asked if who she preferred, Hilary or Obama and shew as quick to respond with Obama, saying she likes how he is more philosophical than she imagines Hilary Clinton being. I asked her about her views on the recent lift of the ban on gay marriages in California and she tells me that she is a card carrying republican but she doesn’t support the ban on gay marriages nor any attempt to legislate morality. If gay people want to marry, LET THEM! “People need to be happy and it may even change your economy” Sasha Hollander proudly proclaims.
In closing I asked Sasha Hollander about her website. I noticed that she has listed on there an entry for escorting. I reminded her that when this interview was published thousands of people would potentially see this and she might not want to be so blatant about her illegal activities. Clearly that didn’t seem to phase her since her offer to escort still sits on her site a month later. But either way, she was nice enough and not so bad looking. Check her out. You may just become a fan like me.
