BIG NEWS!!! My whole naked ass is on the front page slideshow on the Hustler site this week for my interview & article!!!
⠀
& Also, Sean Baker, who directed the INCREDIBLE & Oscar-winning Anora, read it, thanked me & publicly shouted me out on IG yesterday for mentioning Anora in my interview! HE ALSO FOLLOWED ME!!!
⠀
I’ve followed his work since Tangerine & it’s really fucking exciting that he knows who I am now.
⠀
If you want to check out his movies, Anora is really great. To me, it captures what it can feel like to end up dating a customer as a sex worker. Even when a situation starts out paid, we can fall in love with them through the fantasy. & When it ends, it can be truly earth-shattering.
⠀
My favorite film of his is Starlet, though. I don’t feel like enough people know about it! It’s about a porn star who buys an item from an older woman’s yard sale & finds a LOT of money hidden inside. They end up befriending one another & the whole story is fucking beautiful.
⠀
It reminded me of me & my grandma when I watched it & I still think about the story a lot. The ending is sooooo heartwarming in a sad way. You have to see it.
⠀
My other favorite besides Anora is The Florida Project. It reminded me a lot of what it was like growing up with an unstable mom & moving constantly. Plus, Willem Dafoe is in it & the whole cast is fucking great. That’s another story I think about a lot.
⠀
Anyway, someone whose work has made me feel so much now knows who I am because he read my interview. That’s a pretty fucking cool thing to get to say!!!
