Melaya, 21, was babysitting, and the sound of a pianosaurus wafted through the window.
GP: Which mainstream celebrity, do you
think, would make porn acceptable if she were to do a porn
scene?
M: Probably Hillary Duff.
GP: What do you do when you're not being
done?
M: On Tuesdays and Thursdays I teach a
class at the gym here in Simi Valley.
GP: Can you be anonymous in this Valley?
Do people recognize you?
M: No. No one has ever mentioned it, even
when I wear my "I Swallow" t-shirt. People can't seem to
put two and two together.
GP: Do you worry that when you become
extra-famous you will lose your anonymity?
M: I'm not really worried about that.
I'd like to keep going until the industry is done with
me, whenever that is.
Melaya has one tattoo, which is her wedding ring.
GP: How does your husband feel about
the business you do every day but Tuesdays and Thursdays?
M: He likes to stay home and pretend that
nothing is going on. He doesn't go to trade shows and stuff.
GP: How long have you been married?
M: Since a few months after I started
in the industry, which was March of 2002.
GP: Are you a very sexual person?
M: Yes. There is nothing that really scares
me.
GP: But was there anything that was a first
for you when you entered the industry?
M: I hadn't done anal until the day I
shot an anal scene.
GP: Which movie do you think represents
you best?
M: Red Light District's Black Poles
Cumming in White Holes. I haven't seen it, but the
scene was fun to film. It was with Sean Michaels and Brian
Pumper.
GP: Have you done interracial in your
daily life?
M: No, and no DP's either. When my (ex)
agent was reading down the list of things I would and would
not do in porn, he said 'DP?' and I didn't know what one
was -
GP: So on the set - ?
M: I found out.
Melaya, despite being from California, has a Wisconsin accent like her mother's. Her mother picked out her porn name, which is pronounced like the last three syllables of "Himalaya."
GP: Being at such a physical remove from
the San Fernando Valley, do you have many friends in the
adult industry?
M: I don't have any friends in the adult
industry.
GP: Gram Is Your Friend.™
M: Even my own friends don't know!
GP: How would you prefer they found out?
M: If they saw me in a very good scene,
then asked me.
GP: What is your favorite Black Sabbath
song?
M: I don't remember song titles; I just
remember track numbers on CDs.
GP: What are your favorite Black Sabbath
track numbers?
Melaya likes Metallica, System of A Down, and other hard
rock bands.
GP: What are your thoughts on the Armenian
Genocide?
M: I don't really keep up with that stuff.
GP: What do you think is the future of
porn in Glendale?
M: I know they like it there.
This is Melaya's first interview as a porn starlet. I tell her that other people in the industry ask certain stock questions, so we decided to try some role-playing.
DCypher: Would you dye your hair red
for me?
M: Yes. It was really red in high school,
so I looked good.
Tod-Hunter: What is your favorite Disney
film?
M: Sleeping Beauty.
Lurk Ford: Should Israel unilaterally
withdraw from lands it has stolen from the Palestinians
since 1967?
M: I don't know too much about that stuff.
Yes?
Paul Fishbein: Would you retire when you
married me?
M: I don't know how rich you'd have to
be. Financially it would really have to be worth it.
