on tour in Australia

Monday, October 26th, 2009

It’s so great to be back in my homeland, Australia. First stop was Sydney, appearing the famous, national radio show with Kyle and Jackie O. Great interview, Jackie is smokin’ hot and Kyle was really cool, considering all the bad press he’s been getting lately.

I then flew to Melbourne for an interview on a new Triple M radio show called ‘Adults only with Eva O’keeffe. That was also great. Then the next day I had a signing at ClubX in Coburg. Nice turn out and its great to hear such positive feedback about my book. Though what sucked was that my movies that they had ordered from the US, never made it through customs! Yes, there are many restrictions on porn in this country, which is why alot of my movies haven’t been exported over here since the days of my big feature films many years ago.

Had alot of fun partying in Melbourne on saturday night, since I had a day off on Sunday, and then had a wonderful dinner with my new favourite Italian family (Luv the Fam Ricko!).

Probably should have gone to bed early, but spent the night catching up with a friend. And had 3 interviews early on Monday. ABC radio Breakfast club with Phil Kafcaloudes, very cool. Then an interview for Sassisam.com, who absolutely loved the book and wanted me to write a sequel!

Then the dreaded interview with Jon Faine on ABC radio conversation hour. WOW. He is so anti-porn, and the things he was saying were so ridiculous and made no sense whatsoever. Like, porn leads to violence, and 10yr olds are dressing up as pornstars! hahahahahaa I mean WTF is that about? Hollywood movies and celebs have way more of a negative impact on people than porn. Porn is helpful to couples in stale relationships, if a guy is going to be violent, it’s not because he watches porn, and violence and porn is illegal to shoot these days anyway, and how the fuck would a 10yr old girl even know what a pornstar is, let alone dress like one!

So I handled myself very well with all the stabbing remarks. I had to hold my tongue a fair bit, and I was shaking with anger at some of the things he was saying. But hey, your gonna get these types sometimes and you just have to smile and deal with it.

So now i’m off to a signing at Club X in Brisbane, after having done a great interview with Triple M breakfast the cage. Then onto 4BC radio with Walter Williams, then clubX signing in Mt Gravatt, then dinner with my bro. And I then have to get up at 5am for numerous interviews in Sydney, and give a speech at the Sexpo Gala Dinner!

Had a great photo/video shoot last night for scarlettblue.com awesome photographer Tania! and Makeup artist Michelle. The photos will end up in Australian Picture magazine. Video on Scarlettblue.com

I absolutely love doing all of this FYI, having an awesome time, dont care how tired I am. I love staying busy, and so excited to see my book on the shelves of every store and airport!

Gotta run, but will update next week!

heading home…

Monday, October 19th, 2009

It’s been a hectic couple of weeks for me, getting organized to head home to Australia for my book (Absolute Mayhem – confessions of an Aussie Pornstar) release tour. Which you can buy in the stores in Australia right now, or online at seekbooks.com.au . Everytime I think I’m close to getting things done, something else comes up! 

Right now I’m in the studio, watching my engineer mix one of my favorite songs ‘Fallen’. It’s sounding better than ever now. So this will be a total of 3 songs that I have finished in the studio, but I’m confused as to whether or not to release an EP, or wait a while, since I have so many people in my ear, producers etc who want to work with me to re-work some of the songs.
Actually It’s quite an honor to be faced with so many options, though it’s hard to make these kind’s of decisions, since you never who is sincere and actually willing to put in the time to get anything finished. I’m sure I’ll figure it all out soon. Just got to follow my instincts I guess!
Meanwhile, I just had the best hair treatment of my life! It’s called the ‘Brazilian Blowout’, my hair is super shiny and frizz free! I know it sounds lame to be so excited about something like this, but it’s like a miracle cure for people with curly/frizzy hair. To wake up everyday and have perfect hair is like a dream for me! HA!
I leave for Australia on Tuesday, for about 3-4 weeks. My schedule is insane, flying from one city to another, one radio show to another, signings, photoshoots, Sexpo convention and feature dancing! So if I don’t blog for about a month, you’ll understand why. 
The one thing I’m disturbed about, is how conservative the media is in Australia. I’m absolutely shocked that no TV program will have me on there to promote my book, because they think it’s too ‘Risque’ to have a pornstar on national television. Wow. It’s not like I’m some ditz who’s gonna go on TV in a revealing outfit and talk dirty. As you all know, I’m very opinionated and would love to be able to discuss issues such as freedom of speech and censorship.
But what can you do! Can’t change the world. Anyway, I’m sure I’ll have a great time, always good to go back home and catch up with friends and family.
Until next time…
Luv Mon xoxo

Another Day in the life…

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Feels like forever since I’ve blogged. I guess my mind has been busy elsewhere, being the little entrepreneur that I am these days. My book ‘Absolute Mayhem – confessions of an Aussie pornstar’ is finally released! http://randomhouse.com.au/Books/Default.aspx?Page=Book&ID=9781741666427 monica@monicamayhem.com

I am filled with anxiety and excitement, hoping that it will be a number one seller. According to everyone who has read the book so far, it’s a hit! And it’s a total dream for me to actually be listed on the Random House website as an ‘Author’. I’ve been writing my whole life, and never thought that I would actually end up writing a book to be published by one of the biggest publishers in the world! Though its only available in Australia so far, however, we are working on getting US and European rights to publish overseas.

And to top all that off, I actually have a 6 page spread and story, out in Marie Claire Australia Nov issue! I’m very happy with the way it came out, and the photos are amazing, so old Hollywood glam. Lets hope the media are kind to me when I go back to Australia in a couple of weeks.

My lingerie line is coming along, it’s just a matter of getting my ideas across, and making sure everything is exactly the way I picture it. It’s a lot of work, and also a lot of fun. I’m in no rush at all to get this project finished, I wouldn’t want to put my name and approval on anything that I wasn’t 100% happy with.

I’ve been madly researching health and nutrition lately, to the point where, I may even write my own cookbook – don’t quote me on that, it could take years at this rate! But it’s very interesting, some of the things I’m learning, and I’m actually putting together meal plans for myself, which pretty much takes a whole day to create, talk about tedious work! But it’s all worth it to feel super fit and happy with yourself. I’ve always been somewhat of a health and fitness freak, but I’m taking it to the next level now!

I’ve been getting a lot of requests for custom videos, and I’ve decided that, given the current state of the economy, I’d like to offer a special deal to my fans. I’m offering a 30 min solo video – to the description of your choice, along with a free pair of panties – worn in the video, and free shipping (if within the US), all for US$350. The original value is $600, so I’d say this is a bit of a bargain! And I’m happy to do it, if it helps to get someone off, and put a smile on their face! For more information, please email

I’ve also scheduled a live 1hr chat for all of my Monicamayhem.com members, on Saturday 10th Oct at 11pm Est. I still also go on imlive.com whenever I have some free time. I try to advertise those chats on my website and myspace beforehand, although sometimes I just show up unexpectedly.

Aside from running around like a mad woman, organizing 50 different things before I go to Australia for my big tour, I’m actually going back in the studio this Friday to finish up a couple of songs. I’ve decided to do everything on my own, including starting my own record label. Yes, I know, I’m crazy taking on all this work, but hey, if you want something done right and immediately, you’ve got to take matters into your own hands! And that’s exactly what I’m doing, so stay tuned for my next blog with hopefully some more exciting news from the Empire of Mayhem!

Luv Mon
