Alani Pi: How did you enjoy the shoot today?

Nikki Darling: I had so much fun! (laughs) Um… it was awesome. I mean, it was great working with you, I had a good person to go off of, it was good, uh, food for thought! (laughs) But, yes, I had so much fun today. It was just fun, like, playing, having a good time….
Alani Pi: Mmm. I had a good time too. I was a little antsy though, before—
(laughs)
Alani Pi: Usually I’m so much more anxious to get sexual with girls than, like, another… gender…. Um. (laughs) And, so, I was really excited.
Nikki Darling: Yeah.
Alani Pi: And nervous. And… excited and nervous!
Nikki Darling: (laughs) Yeah. So, it was kinda like going to prom.
(both laughing)
Alani Pi: This is much better than the prom I went to!
(both laughing)
Nikki Darling: Mine too!

Nikki Darling: What did you find challenging about the shoot?
Alani Pi: Um… challenging? Uh… I guess knowing what to do, like, knowing what you liked and stuff—
Nikki Darling: (nods) Yeah.
Alani Pi: Sometimes, I just feel a little shy to ask.
Nikki Darling: Yeah.
Alani Pi: So, I guess, it’s like, communication—
Nikki Darling: Yeah.
Alani Pi: —was a little challenging for me, just ’cause I felt so shy about it.
Nikki Darling: Yeah. Uh, that was kind of the same for me too, it was just kinda like… figuring out… ’cause, it’s like, with this, usually, particularly with other shoots I’ve done and stuff, you know, they kind of have… it’s like, “This is what we’re gonna do, this is what we’re gonna do, blah blah blah-blah, go!” and it’s like, “Oh, okay,” but this, it’s a lot, like, freer, and—
Alani Pi: Yeah!
Nikki Darling: —they really allow you to just do what you wanna do, so at first I was, like, “Well, I don’t know, like, I want to make sure that, like, she enjoys it, and I want to make sure that it looks good, and that it’s hot and sexy, but yeah…”
Alani Pi: It was definitely a lot more real than some of the shoots I’ve done.
Nikki Darling: (nods) Definitely!
Alani Pi: It’s like, “This is actually stuff I want to be doing right now!”
Nikki Darling: (laughs)
Alani Pi: “This feels really good, and this is nice, and I don’t have to fake anything!”
Nikki Darling: Yeah! It was really nice to just, like, yeah, we can just be honest and just, like, do things….
Alani Pi: Yeah.
Nikki Darling: I really like that.

Alani Pi: Why do you continue to do porn?
Nikki Darling: Uhmm… I continue to do porn because I really enjoy it, you know? It’s kind of, like, a really simple answer, but I really— It’s one of those things where I really like going to work, I really like the people I work with—
Alani Pi: Mmm.
Nikki Darling: —um, you know… it’s like any other job, you know. There’s some days that are really good and some days that are not so good, and it’s like “oh, today kinda sucked,” but—
Off-camera: phone rings
Nikki Darling: —you know, I do it because I— (laughs)
Off-camera: Sorry! Sorry, I… I am the biggest culprit… at not turning my phone off….
(laughter)
Nikki Darling: That’s all right. (laughs) But… yeah, I continue to do porn because I really enjoy it, um, and it allows me to get out the really kinky, nasty things that I like to do. (laughs) Yep. Why do you continue to do porn?
Alani Pi: Um, I’ve always been, like, very turned on by, like, exhibitionism…itionism…
(both laughing)
Nikki Darling: Yeah.
Alani Pi: And uh, also, like, I’ve always been really shy my whole life, and I find that porn is one of the few things that really gets me out of my shell—
Nikki Darling: Mm.
Alani Pi: —and, like, it’s helped me feel a lot more comfortable with my body and stuff. Like, I’ve got a lot of scars and now I feel more comfortable, like, having those, and I used to be, like, really conscious of how long my labia was, but now I feel, like, super-comfortable, after doing porn, with that, and—
Nikki Darling: (nods wisely) You have awesome labia. (laughs)
Alani Pi: (grins) Yeah… I guess, like, porn has just been really freeing for me, and it seems like any other job, like, so far that I’ve tried has just been really trapping, so porn is definitely a very positive thing for me, and that’s why I keep doing it.
Nikki Darling: Awesome.

Nikki Darling: Um… I really had fun today. Um, it was very different to other porn shoots that I’ve done, which I really liked, but yeah, I just had a lot of fun today. The set was awesome, the crew was awesome—
Alani Pi: Yeah.
Nikki Darling: Yeah.
Alani Pi: I had a lot of fun too. Um….
Nikki Darling: Yay!
Alani Pi: Crash Pad was, like, the first real porn I ever did, and so—
Nikki Darling: Awesome!
Alani Pi: —it always has, like, a very special place in my heart.
Nikki Darling: I… have been a viewer of Crash Pad for, uh, a while (laughs)—
Alani Pi: (laughs)
Nikki Darling: —so it’s really surreal and awesome to be amongst people that I’ve either seen or, like (laughs) that I know of, and, yeah, I’ve always really been a fan of Crash Pad, so it’s awesome to be able to actually work for them also, so….
Alani Pi: Cool. Right on!
Nikki Darling: Yay!
