Sasha Grey

Lol, I can't believe Sasha Grey has a thread here. I never saw her mainstream movie before but I have to admit I've seen a lot of her p*rn work before! That's the only work of her I have seen so far

I think she's really hot, never seen any of her "work" though lol.

Why The Girlfriend Experience won't make Grey's day

Is it possible for a p*rn star to cross over into mainstream movies? Not even a lead role in a Steven Soderbergh movie will help.

28 November 2009

Judging by the evidence on display in The Girlfriend Experience, Steven Soderbergh's leading lady, 21-year-old veteran p*rn star Sasha Grey, won't be the first person to breach the rock-solid wall that – to the naked eye, at least – appears to separate respectable mainstream Hollywood from its disreputable, naked doppelganger over the hill in the San Fernando Valley.

As a high-end Manhattan escort servicing – or often simply talking with – a series of rich banking industry clients during the financial meltdown of last September, Grey gives one of those performances that leaves you asking: is this a great actress before me, deliberately draining herself of all emotional affect, or is this all the actual acting that Soderbergh was able to bully, trick or blackmail out of her? I think Soderbergh is wise to the nuances of the performance he gets, and wants us to ponder the ratio of documentary realism to cultivated artifice, but that won't make Sasha Grey the next Marilyn Monroe. Grey has a fairly depressing blue-collar upbringing behind her, but there is something bleakly stirring about her iron-willed determination to flourish in her chosen field while avoiding drugs, saving her money instead of blowing it on Escalades and plastic surgery, and representing herself in business dealings. Somewhere, in among the daily indignity and degradation, one can discern dim echoes of Horatio Alger's all-American, up-by-the-bootstraps, rags-to-riches narratives, just with added blowjobs.

Plus she has good taste in non-p*rno movies – Antonioni, for starters – and her first choice for a nom de p*rn was Anna Karina, which is encouraging. But if Grey pursues the dead dream of a p*rno-Hollywood crossover, she'll end up with a bull**** little toy career just like Traci Lords. To her credit, she shows no sign of wanting that. She's better off working herself up into a p*rn-star brand, like Jenna Jameson. p*rn stars become freaks of nature (and/or poodle-rocker arm candy) once they drive over Laurel Canyon into Hollywood. There, no matter how hard they try, no one will ever let them forget what their last job was.

But perhaps Hollywood flatters itself too much when it condescends to its little sister industry. Serious petty cash is expended nightly by Tinseltown bigwigs (and middle-wigs) rich enough to fill their hot tubs and waterbeds with p*rn's newest stars. Are movie talent agencies like CAA and ICM in Beverly Hills any different in essence from adult industry agencies like Pretty Girl International or LA Direct Models in Chatsworth and Van Nuys? Hollywood prostitutes itself every day in ways that seem far more self-deceiving than the semi-legal actual prostitution occurring in p*rn, where the sleazy casting-couch rituals of Hollywood seem like just another day at the office.

Sasha Grey by Glenn Luchford

The site is pretty much NSFW.

[enkeli05]

She's hot and has a nice body.

She's really brilliant and well-spoken and if you've ever seen her host adult entertainment conventions on the G4 channel she has a very natural, easygoing, amazing way of carrying herself. I love how she's so dark and goth and she actually named herself after the lead singer of an industrial band.

Anyway, in terms of fashion, here's a nice video of her in Barbara Bui boots:

She's gorgeous, I think she's a classy and naturally beautiful version of Megan Fox. Her eyes caught me immediately.

She will be in the show in one of the later episodes, not in the first two that aired already.

She's a whirlwind of fascination.

 

[candlebougie]

She's pretty good on Entourage so far.
