Shine: We’re here, this is it

NS: So, Iona Grace: how did you like the shoot today?

IG: Uh, I loved the shoot, it was really fun. It was my first time fisting anyone, so that was a really fun experience for me. I think it was really nice cause, like, I didn’t…Usually, like, when you do porn, you really worry about, like, oh, here’s a camera guy – “Stop, hold, stop, hold,” – like, you’re not really enjoying it, but we do what we normally do.

NS: Right.

IG: It was really fun. It was a lot less pressure.

NS: [Unclear]

IG: How did you enjoy the shoot?

NS: Um…I, yeah, I had a great time. I love being able to wake up in the morning and have no idea that I was going to be shooting porn but then the next hour or two, be here, and, yeah, have it be exactly what you said. It… we didn’t have to be anything we weren’t normally. It was a nice, lovely way to spend the morning.

[Footage of IG fisting NS]

NS: Was there anything challenging for you at all?

IG: Um, I was just worried about hurting you with my nails but, uh, other than that, it’s pretty straightforward and easy for me.

NS: Yeah

IG: It was fun. Was anything challenging for you?

NS: Hmmm….I wouldn’t say anything was challenging…I guess, just, yeah, the question if we’re starting like how elaborate of a story should there be?

IG: Yeah

NS: Like, how scripted out should what we’re gonna be doing be? Yeah, but, I really appreciate today just being myself and doing the things I want. That’s why I think Crashpad is really great. You just come and perform, so.

[Breakaway]

Shine to NS: We have forty-seven minutes, so that’s, that’s more than enough for a scene unless you’re like absolutely like, let’s do this. [Laughter] Okay, So that’s kind of a good place to end, we can basically have you kissing and cooling things down. That’s a good place.

NS [to IG]: So you have done quite a bit of porn work.

IG: Yeah

NS: Why is it something that you continue to do?

IG: Um, it’s really fun for me. It’s like, I could be like a cashier at a dead-end job and doing something I hate, or I could be having sex with awesome people and have fun and make a lot more, so.

NS: Yeah

IG: It’s basically happy. I’m always surrounded by people who are really sex-positive, who are friendly and just like really understanding of what my life’s all about and that just makes it easier to be me. And so…doing porn really facilitates my happiness.

NS: Yeah

IG: What about you?

NS: Oh, I [clears throat] why do I do – it’s just sort of the question I guess I ask myself before anytime I choose to do it because because it’s not something I do consistently at all, it sort of sporadically comes up, and, yeah, sometimes I have really elaborate answers about, uh, representing me and a community, but yes, sometimes it’s just, uh, really awesome to do. I like having sex and I like having sex with awesome people and I get…to…. Learn more about myself and what I enjoy, and as with any time I have sex, I also get to learn more about a partner. And hopefully, in the end, also help facilitate awesome sex in other peoples’ lives as well. That would be a great bonus! [Laughter]

IG: For sure

NS: And… Is there anything else you wanna talk about?

IG: Well I had a lot of fun today and I’m really glad you woke me up this morning with your sexy call [Laughter]

NS: oh yes! Hahahaah. ‘Emergency! Can you get to the Crashpad? [Laughter]

IG: We’re like super heroes.

NS: We are! We saw the porn signal up in the sky and we’re like, we will be there.

IG: It’s, ah, a tough job but someone’s gotta do it.

NS: That’s right. And I’m really glad that you were able to come.

IG: Yeah, thank you.
