13 QUESTIONS WITH JEWEL DE'NYLE
Score! We landed us a big fish y'all! ("y'all?"... what the fuck? I'm from Jersey. No one says that here... I suck). If you've seen a porno flick in the past three years, chances are better than average that JEWEL DE'NYLE appeared in a scene or two. The first time I met Jewel was during her appearance on the Opie and Anthony show. She was in-studio the same day Vince Nel and Nikki Sixx of MÖTLEY CRÜE were there promoting The Dirt. After seeing the things that could fit in her fanny, I knew I'd be a fan of Jewel's for a while (or at least until I could get home and slap it to some of her smutty goodness).
Originally from Colorado, she started her career in smut flicks like most young gals; she was dancing at a strip club, when a friend helped her to get into the biz. Within her first eight months in the business she won Best New Starlet at the Cannes Film Festival in 1999, Starlet of the year at the NIGHTMOVES Magazine awards show and in 2000 XRCO awarded her Best New Starlet.
Dubbed "The Queen of Nasty" and winner of AVN's 'Female Performer of the Year Award' in 2001, Jewel has established herself as a major player in the adult video business, appearing in over 300 adult movies. She has her very own signature toy line with Las Vegas Novelties, and has just launched her very own adult production company Platinum X Pictures, which produces numerous features with another pal of ours, BRANDON IRON.
I fired off my usual 13 dopey questions (although, they are far less dopey than some of the other interviews I've seen Jewel participate in, so I won't knock myself too hard), and even though it took her a few weeks to get them back, she handled them like a real pro.
SteveC: Your company,
Platinum X Pictures, just launched a search for the next "Porn Star Idol". How goes that search? What percentage of contestants were actually worthy of giving a six-picture deal to, and which were just a bunch of fatties, homeless people, and/or drug addicts looking for a sandwich? (That's our way of asking if they were worth looking at or not)
Jewel De'Nyle: Well for the most part only a few were great but most of them did perform well which was very suprising I thought the men would of failed for sure but almost all of them came on Q so that was really strange. It was a lot of fun to do though and I might do another one in the future.
SC: Jewel, you claim to prefer making videos that feature the 'rougher' and 'nastier' forms of sex. When it comes to raunchy material, how much do you have to police your own content before forty federal agents come a'calling, ransack your place of business, and launch a full-blown federal investigation into your business?
Jewel De'Nyle: We shoot good strong sex nothing over the top that would be considered lude. All our stuff is hardcore but sexy not over the top and harmful in anyway and that's just the way it has to be I don't think shock value is sexy I'd rather see the girl into what she is doing and getting off on it.
SC: You've said that you enjoy giving the occasional "golden shower" to
your sexual partner(s). Is any special preparation involved in this
act? (meaning, do you intentionally guzzle a 12-pack of Milwaukee's
Best, or gobble a nice big plate of steamed asparagus before you
tinkle on
someone?)
Jewel De'Nyle: It's pretty spontanious not planned I like to do it in the heat
of the moment it's very animalistic.
SC: You've done your fair share of anal scenes. For the most part (of
course, there are always exceptions), nobody likes getting pooped on,
so how exactly does Jewel De'Nyle prepare herself for anal insertion?
Jewel De'Nyle: You
never eat before an anal scene and use and enema bottle dump out the enema and use warm water to flush out your system and then your good to go no embarrasing moments.
(Yes! Finally! A detailed description of how a gal cleans out her dumper! I knew I'd get that sooner or later. OK, time to think of another goofy one)
SC: Many adult videos that are shot on the west coast are shot at rented
mansions. What does it cost to rent a multi-million dollar estate for
a day of sex? Which celebrity household(s) (or which kind; actors,
musicians, producers, directors, etc) are the most fun to fornicate
in?
Jewel De'Nyle: Most of the homes I shoot in are real estate properties that are furnished and for sale and while being sold the realtor rent's the house out to porn to get some money on the side. And sometimes it's rich bored old men who need something to do so they rent out there home to porn you usually pay a $100 dollars an hour.
SC: Jewel, now that you have your own company, and you've built such a
reputation for yourself in this lucrative business, you stand to make
a great deal of money in a very short period of time. If and when you
have kids, how do you plan on explaining your fortune to them?
Jewel De'Nyle: If I
ever have children I believe in being honest because if you lie the truth always comes out so I'd let them know mommy is a adult movie director and as they got older they'd figure it out. But if you start with honesty in the begining then you'll have less drama in the end.
SC: What exactly is your thought process when a fella is dropping a batch
of fresh man-juice on your stomach, chin, chest, nose, and/or
forehead? Are you tuning out the whole experience, or are you thinking
"Wow, this is doing wonders for my complexion!" ...?
Jewel De'Nyle: No I am thinking
the scene is over and that's another scene in the can and I cannot wait to put this movie out!!!
SC: If you had to pick one person you've met throughout your years in the
adult industry (Other than your husband, Michael Stefano), which fine,
upstanding individual would you trust with your life? (male or female,
we don't discriminate 'round here)
Jewel De'Nyle: It would be my best friend Serenity
she has been with me from the very day
I started in this business and we have a toy line together from
very own signature toy line with Las Vegas Novelties and her work ethics are strong and I trust her 100% and I know she'd never do me wrong and I could trust her with my life.
SC: OK, now which deplorable slob(s), in your opinion (male or female),
deserve to have rancid sausages dropped down his or her pants, and
dropped into a pack of starving dogs?
Jewel De'Nyle: Rob Black he created the drama
he is in,and now Rob want's everyone's sympathy and the rest of the porn world to have his back but when you are as stupid as him and challenge the Federal System and dare them to come after you and push every envelope in doing so then you deserve to be thrown to the dogs.
SC: If you had to guess, why does the adult industry give out "Best
Actor/Best Actress" Awards? No walking-upright man in his right mind
watches porno films for the acting (and if he tells you he does, then
he's lying his ass off and should be tied penis-first to a
locomotive), so why is it such a big deal to win a "Best
Actor/Actress" award for having sex?
Jewel De'Nyle: Well to be honest there are some
really good actors in porn and they do
deserve to be awarded for it because it's a rare thing in our industry for anyone to be good at acting. So I think it's mostly for the talent not the viewer.
SC: Jewel, you've directed a number of adult videos for your own company.
I would imagine being a performer gives you a great insight into
creating the product, but what EXACTLY is involved in "directing" a
porno flick? Does it just involve you saying "move your leg, honey"
and "I can't see his nuts" or "sweetie, make sure you wash your ass
before you come to work", or is it more involved than that?
Jewel De'Nyle: If it
were that easy then
everyone would have their own porn empire. First of all you deal with the talent,agents,camera and lighting crew,locations,paperwork, payroll dept. editing, proofing, audio checks, pulling chromes and boxcover shoots,promoting,press releases,scene break downs,dvd extras,authoring,ad deadlines and this is just the start the list goes on and on. And I have to do stupid online interviews like this one on top of everything else.
(You know, this might be stupid, but I can link to at LEAST six other interviews she's done with websites that are so far down on the 'stupid' chain, you actually feel dumber after reading them. You know the kind I'm talking about, the kind of jackass-hack-DJ-wannabe interview that starts out with "Hey, so how's it going?" and "So, what're you up to these days?" ... Fuck you, hacks. Do some homework.)
SC: Let's say, for the sake of discussion, that you're approached by a
reasonably-attractive, tattooed, smartass with a mediocre penis, who
asks dopey website questions, and he wants to get into the business of
making smut. What do you tell this hopeful young lad?
Jewel De'Nyle: Only one in 500 make it and the odds are not in your favor.
(Damn, that's some brutal honesty. We do like honesty though. Oh well, back to the day job at the 'Stupid Factory'.)
SC: Hypothetical situation: You're offered a multi-million dollar contract
to do a series of films called "Snow Shoe-Smashed Sluts Volumes 1 -
6", which, as you might imagine, would involve you and and a few other girls
being assaulted with Snow Shoes. Moments later,
a short,
meaty-breasted little bald man offers you ten thousand dollars cash to
come back to his hotel room and videotape you taking an industrial-sized
dump on his forehead. Do you shack up with the li'l fella, or are you
taking a show shoe to the kisser for the big bucks?
Jewel De'Nyle: I have no problem shitting on a man for money I do it for free everyday haha!!
(You see that, Norton? She's all yours! Now go get her, and try not to bang her up too much. This one's really cute!)
WOW, JEWEL DE'NYLE took time out of her schedule to answer my goofy shit. She answered well, too. Better than most of the airheads that populate the porn business.
