Mendhi: giggles
Camera Op: [off camera] I can see your face, so…
Mendhi: giggles
Camera Op: Ok, I’m rolling. Oh, oh yes, oh, ready? It’s never not funny.
Kitty: [off camera] Do I have to say anything or do I just clap?
Kitty: Louder?
Camera Op: Move your hands a little, I got ’em.
Mendhi: So Kitty, how was the shoot for you today?
Kitty: I had a really good time, actually.
Mendhi: Awww
Kitty: It, uh, it was interesting to think about what to bring, and what to do, and sort of create a story
line and everything. But uh, it was really fun. It was interestingly intimate.
Mendhi: Yeah!
Kitty: It was kind of cool. How about you?
Mendhi: It was so cute! I just, it was kind of interesting to take this one dynamic which is you and a
pet, or a really adorable cat…I tend to steal other people’s cats. And, y’know, try to make that erotic and
make that sexual. And so to turn it around., see when that happens, and in my case, I couldn’t actually
see what happens
Kitty: giggles
Mendhi: …because you kept me blindfolded most of the time! Naughty kitty! So… I was like ”what is
going on here, I have no idea.” Before the shoot I was thinking ”I’m not sure if I want to see myself’ on
camera” because, uh, I have a weird thing about that, but now I, it will be interesting to see again, just
to see what actually happens…
Kitty: giggles
Mendhi: ..if you did anything interesting
Kitty: I like to blindfold people so they can’t see if I drop the toys, if I made a mistake, like, ’cause then
they’re like ”wow, you’re really building up the suspense”, and I’m all, ”I don’t know where the gloves
are!”
Mendhi: They’re like ”where did she go!?”
Kitty: I also, I kinda enjoyed the, since usually the pet/owner dynamic has the pet being the submissive,
it’s kinda fun playing with that being all no, especially if you’re a cat owner, the cat owns you.
Mend: No one owns the cat!
Kitty: Cats have staff.
Mendhi: Cats have staff.
Mendhi: Bah! What are you doing? Kitty…
Mendhi: Uh, it’s my first ever porn shoot, and trying to work out what to do was doing my head in. For
me, it was like you kinda bring yourself and we’ll go for there, and and you know try to talk about what
kind of toys should we bring, what’s the storyline, like, I DON’T KNOW! Just, show up. I don’t have
any experience! AHHH! And, and there’s also because I perform elsewhere, and they have you look
a certain way, you make things entertaining for the audience, you connect with the audience, and half
the time I was worried. I’ll… ”oh you’ll look stupid,” ”your face will look weird”, something something
something, or I’ll fail and people will think I suck in bed. NOOOOOO!
Kitty: Anxiety, basically
Mendhi: Yes, it’s like performance anxiety at the beginning, cause you never know until you do it,
how, y’know, even then, you won’t know until people comment on it, or say that was interesting or
interesting however people respond, so there’s always that tension. URGH!
Kitty: I think the only thing that was kinda weird for me actually was before the shoot even happened is
when I was putting in the plug…
Mendhi: bursts into laughter
Kitty: …because I got a little over excited at first and I was like ”YEAH I’LL SHOVE IT IN THERE”
and I was sitting in the bathroom like (deep breath) Ok, I was too fast, so I had to like take it a lot
slower, then I was fine, but the initial was like ”OH MY GOD, I BROKE MYSELF!” It was a bad idea.
Like I had warmed up, but I had warmed up like two hours before. It was kinda too late. So I learned
from that. Y’know.
Mendhi: Hey, where’d you find my toys?
Kitty: They look like cat toys!
Mendhi: You sneak in my drawers again?
Mendhi: And you’ve done porn before, this, this, you you seem like you’re a total expert.
Kitty: I haven’t done tons of porn, i mean I’ve done a lot of fetish modelling, and I’ve had a lot of
having sex in public, which is kind of like porn, which is, you know, kinda like doing porn, you don’t
have to worry so much about angles…
Mendhi: (laughter)
Kitty: …and you do have to worry about random people like, coming on you…
Mendhi: Getting arrested
Kitty: …and yeah, that too sometimes, so it’s interesting, because I love it, I’m such a, y’know, attention
whore, performance, it’s really fun. I’m kind of, I’m really analytical about my sex. I like the structure,
in being like ”right we have a certain amount of time, we need a story arc, all that stuff”. It actually
turns me on to do all of that.
M: It’s like the anticipation building.
Kitty: It’s part of the process for me. The whole calculation and thinking ”ok, i’m gonna have this here
and have this here…”
M: I have an evil plan!
K: Exactly, exactly, I’m such a planner, that’s why I’m a top. What made you decide to do porn today?
‘Cause this is your first time.
M: It is, and I think it kind of progressed from having started doing burlesque and sort of delving
through raunchy path, and going ”hey this is actually a lot more fun than I anticipated”.And like kinda
like you, I like the attention. I like instead of showing, like, big revealing in my body, and people
going ”oh my god you’re so sexy”, and all i have to do is pretty much be there and already people are
already quite in awe, and I don’t really have to do anything, which is appreciated. And partly because
I thought it was a good excuse to hook up with cute chicks. Because I fail at hooking up at bars, so I
may as well sign up for it. And I’m GAURENTEED a hook-up! Awesome! Um, and I think part of it
also is I sign up for anything if it looks interesting. Really, that’s the sort of things I do. And sometimes
it leads me to trouble and sometimes it leads me to fun stuff, and sometimes it leads me to both, like
something like this shoot. I’ve been watching a lot of different queer porn and the different photos,
photos and I was , I like the kinda different aesthetic it has. And both. It’s more artistic sometimes, and
also it’s more sincere. It’s not very saccharine or artificial, it has more heart into it, and I appreciated
it, and it was partly what I was trying to get my head around. Y’know, the expectation of you to look a
certain way, make a certain face, stretch a certain way so some part of you looks better. But then here,
it’s like ”well you do whatever, let your body do what it wants to do.” People will find something in
that.
Mendhi: Anything else you wanna say?
Kitty: I had a really good time,
Mendhi: Awww
Kitty: It was really good playing with you. I appreciated, ’cause I know we kinda negotiated a little
ahead of time, it was a little awkward at first, I appreciate that you let me sorta go through that process
that I go through, and you know I think that was kinda helpful to have an idea and I liked. I liked
actually just bringing a bunch of toys like ”pick you favourite five and bring those up”.
Mendhi: Yeah, I appreciated that you were kinda patient with me like ”I don’t know what your options
are, yay!” The hard part about doing kitty play was the part where I had to ignore you, because if you
were a real cat I’d be like ”OH MY GOD! A KITTY! (affectionate noises)”’ and at some point you’d
be ”I’m sick of you, go away.” So as most cats end up doing. So I was like, ”when can I stop nuzzling
and can I get this show on the road?” So thanks for taking my porn cherry!
Kitty: I’ll had that to my bedpost.
