Text Transcript:

Shine Louise Houston: So first, one of you will give a clap in front of your face, facing the cameras and then ask, one of you will ask the other, “What did you enjoy about the shoot today?”

Bambi Belle: What did you enjoy about the shoot today?

Denali Winter: You gotta clap. You got to clap.

Bambi Belle: Clap? I can. (Claps) So what did you talk about the shoot today?

Denali Winter: I had a lot of fun in general.

Bambi Belle: Yea.

Denali Winter: I like sitting on you and I like being able to be loud.

Bambi Belle: Yeah.

Denali Winter: And it’s really nice to get out of the house and get to have a good time. And not holding back.

Bambi Belle: It’s good to not hold back.

Denali Winter: Yeah.

Bambi Belle: Yeah.

Denali Winter: Was that your favorite thing about the shoot.

Bambi Belle: Yeah. You know, I’m into spanking and we can’t do that at home because –

Denali Winter: Many reasons.

Bambi Belle: Thin walls.

Denali Winter: Very thin walls.

Denali Winter: Yeah. So that’s good for me too.

Denali Winter: Yeah.

Bambi Belle: Of course. It’s always fun to spend time with you. Was there anything challenging for you?

Denali Winter: Well, you know, I forgot to pack lube. We forgot it was a pack-in/pack-out situation and forgot to bring lube. So we just.

Bambi Belle: We had to make our own.

Denali Winter: I mean, obviously not a problem.

Bambi Belle: It wasn’t a problem. That’s good. Yeah, I think I guess the challenging part for me was getting spanked with implements after a long, long time of not doing that.

Denali Winter: I mean, it’s not like I never spank you at home, but like we don’t get to do Spanking Sessions. Like a one-off sound maybe.

Bambi Belle: You don’t get to whop me with the huge paddle over and over?

Denali Winter: No, definitely not the rug beater or anything like that.

Bambi Belle: But you’re very nice to me.

Shine Louise Houston: The next thing to ask each other is, “What are your safer sex practices and why?”

Bambi Belle: What are your safer sex practices?

Denali Winter: I mean, we’re a polyamorous couple and right now we’re closed for obvious reasons. But I think the most important safer sex practice that we use is like, communication –

Bambi Belle: Communication!

Denali Winter: – and being very aware of like what exposure has happened, if any has. And if you’re thinking of doing something that would add exposure or, you know, put anyone at risk or require testing or anything like that, like we’ve been really good about communicating that with each other.

Bambi Belle: Yeah.

Denali Winter: I mean, it’s been a quiet year for the two of us.

Bambi Belle: It’s been quiet, but, like “Hey Denali, can I go have sex?

Bambi Belle: Okay be back before dinner use a condom.”

Denali Winter: Tell em I said Hi.

Bambi Belle: Tell em I said Hi. Yeah that’s yeah. That’s I think our go-to is communication, regular testing when we are involved with more people being aware.

Denali Winter: Sometimes gloves, if my nails are really sharp.

Bambi Belle: Sometimes gloves.

Denali Winter: Today they weren’t too sharp.

Bambi Belle: No I did not have a problem at all.

Shine Louise Houston: Cool. The next question to ask each other is, “If you do porn, why do you continue to do porn?”

Bambi Belle: So why do we continue to do porn.

Denali Winter: Why do we keep doing porn? It’s you know, I guess in my opinion it’s like a really great sort of job that you can come back to after being away and just kind of jump back in. There’s no boss to fire me if I need to take a mental health break. Yeah, it’s it’s fun having fans that have gotten to watch us evolve over time.

Bambi Belle: Yeah, yeah.

Denali Winter: Yeah.

Denali Winter: So it’s it’s really fun, especially if we get to do like a shoot like this, like every other year or something like that, then like to get to watch us just get hotter.

Bambi Belle: Get hotter, change our hair around.

Denali Winter: Change our hair around a little, little bit. You more than me.

Bambi Belle: Yeah.

Denali Winter: What about you?

Bambi Belle: I mean I like doing porn because I’m my own boss and I can be as safe as I want to. And do only what I want to do. And I like the fact that I’m putting my body out there for other people to see and be like, They’re little chunky. They’ve got little stretch-marks, but they’re hot. They’re real hot.

Denali Winter: Yeah. The exhibitionism and like representation is, its nice too.

Bambi Belle: Short lesbians with stretch-marks can be hot too.

Shine Louise Houston: And as one bonus question. Before we get closing
statements. And the question is “What’s been the best thing about quarantine?”

Bambi Belle: What’s been the best thing about quarantine?

Denali Winter: Uh, I guess it’s been nice to be able to, like, hone our skills that we didn’t have time or energy to focus on before. I feel like before quarantine, like I was dayjob-ing five days a week. And it was truly exhausting. And I was very like I really wanted to spend more time doing porn and sex work and sex work activism and stuff. And I was just like tired.

Bambi Belle: Yeah.

Denali Winter: And I think you and I were both shooting, like, so little. Right. Like right before quarantine. And we were like trying to make plans to inspire ourselves to like shoot more content and practice our makeup and practice our video editing and practice our social media stuff.

Bambi Belle: And our lights and everything.

Denali Winter: And then everything shut down were like, well, we have literally nothing else to do. We’ve learned a lot.

Bambi Belle: It was always like, what are we going to find the time to figure out to light a set?

Denali Winter: Right.

Bambi Belle: Now we know.

Denali Winter: Now we know.

Bambi Belle: Now we know TEN ways to light a set.

Denali Winter: And there’s like been really great, like other porn people and people who are like tangentially porn people like who have taught classes. And we’ve gotten to take, you know, like online seminars and stuff like that.

Bambi Belle: A lot of learning.

Denali Winter: And learn. I actually feel like I learned a lot, you know.

Bambi Belle: We’re professionals now. I think my favorite part is I mean, before quarantine, I was also working a full-time plus dayjob, two of them, and porn, and I did not have any time for myself. And it was terrible. You know, I didn’t feel like I was even like a person anymore because I was just working so much.

Denali Winter: You were working so much.

Bambi Belle: And then I stopped working and –

Denali Winter: – Stopped working one job. –

Bambi Belle: – stopped working one job.

Denali Winter: – At least one job. –

Bambi Belle: And then I was alone with myself for eight months. And I was like, you know, I knew. And I got to work on my relationships with my partner and myself and everything just feels much safer now.

Denali Winter: Good.

Bambi Belle: I feel lovelier now.

Denali Winter: Your hair smells good.

Bambi Belle: Yeah.

Shine Louise Houston: Awesome. Anything that you’d like to say about the shoot today, porn in general, puppies, any closing statements.

Bambi Belle: We had fun.

Denali Winter: Yeah, this was fun. This was nice. It was really great to get invited to do this, especially for, like, the sort of trial run. And it looks cute in here.

Bambi Belle: Yeah. I think this setup will work.

Denali Winter: Yeah. I think it’s all a potential.

Bambi Belle: Yes. The future of porn.

Denali Winter: At least for the next year. It’s the future of porn for a while. But yeah, I’ve always kind of been into the like ‘Peeping Tom’ thing.

Bambi Belle: Yeah.

Denali Winter: So like someone being behind a wall and then there’s just cameras following me is pretty funny, it’s pretty on, on brand for that. I still feel like I’ve been to weirder porn shoots, like this isn’t the weirdest way we’ve shot porn I think.

Bambi Belle: Oh no this isn’t.

Denali Winter: This is pretty good. It’s pretty good.

Shine Louise Houston: Thank you so much guys. That’s it we did it! Woot!

Both: Whoo!

Bambi Belle: Yeah!

Shine Louise Houston: All right. Take the cameras out!
