trailer for the girlfriend experience just up.



NY magazine did an interview with sasha about the film, her first non-adult role and collaboration with Steven Soderbergh:

Steven Soderbergh’s largely improvised film The Girlfriend Experience is about a Manhattan call girl and the many men who want a piece of her (including New York writer Mark Jacobson, who plays a version of himself). Porn star Sasha Grey, in her first mainstream film, plays the high-priced escort who lunches at Craft, shops in Soho, and listens to her wealthy johns complain about the plunging Dow.

How were you cast?
One of Soderbergh’s writers, Brian Koppelman, contacted me through MySpace. I thought it was a joke, because I get a lot of fake offers on MySpace. Then Steven left me a voice mail.

What, as they say, was your motivation?
Steven was really secretive about the character, but he wanted me to bring a natural, uninhibited quality to the film. There’s a lot of scenes where I’m improvising. I sat at home, writing a lot, figuring out who she was. I’d take my notes to Steven.

Your character keeps a journal of everything—down to the brand names of each item of clothing.
One of the escorts I met keeps in-depth records of everything she does, to better learn about her clients and analyze her date—and make sure she’s not wearing the same thing twice! I used that. For my character’s clothes, we got to pull from Michael Kors. She’s not on a street corner with a wig.

You don’t actually have sex onscreen.
When I had the first meeting I assumed I would be naked and do a sex scene. Did I think I would do five, like in my adult work? No, but even up to the point where we were shooting, I thought there was going to be at least one sex scene.

That’s usually the first thing actresses clear up in their contracts.
The contract did say that I would be nude. But one of the clauses was [laughing] “You cannot have [real] sex.” To me, that was a pretty funny legality.

I imagine you’d never seen that before?
It was pretty weird. But it was great not to have sex—that would have been too easy. If you want to see me having sex, you can do that! Not doing it shifts the focus, because a lot of clients are there for more than the sex.

The men are all obsessed with the falling stock market.
It takes place in one week of October 2008, and that’s what we were reading about while we were shooting. The market crashing brings out her natural hustler in terms of figuring out how to stay on top.

What’s your plan?
I’ve got to diversify myself. Do I want to be 35, having sex on-camera? No. I want to be sitting on a fucking porch at my beach house with my own successful company.

stoked for this. for rilla

flow make her fatty shake, patty cake

so wendy & i hit up the sakura matsuri [cherry blossom fest - although there were no cherry blossoms in sight ! go figure, california] today in monterrey park - a fun little excursion it was. amist all the manga and quasi-japanese souveniours i came across a SUPER cute up-and-coming clothing brand that i was this close to spending money i didn't have on. a brand after my own heart [funny, it's actually quite similar to a nickname an ex had for me] fat rabbit farm specializes in overweight farm animal characters that are somethin' like pokemon but like 42 times less annoying. and just why are they so fat, you ask? ice cream. genius.


i was ridiculously tempted to buy this shirt [in purple]


they're on blogger, too. check it.


enough cuteness for the day? okay, okay.

here's some non-cute news: did you get the new skyzoo / dj drama mixtape?


available fo'free on okp. or here.

not much blogging here tonight, lo ciento. lots going though the head, and it's 3 in the morning.

HAPPY 4/20 !!!

on second thought, sky's actually kinda cute.

bells n' whistles biatches

a short but important post. '09 lineup:


stoked for MOP & reflec eternal reunion =]

have you heard of badpaintingsofbarackobama.com ?

endless lawlz.







&while i'm at it, here's my favorite anti-weed commercial ever:



can't really comment on its effectiveness [how could you say anything bad about weed, honestly?], but that ish is mad funny.


especially high.

it's always sunny in st thomas

so after a long hiatus of not writing in attempts to focus LESS on pop culture and MORE on straightening a few key components of my life out, i'm posting only to let my faithful readers [if i have any] know that i'll be going on vacation for a wonderful week.

anyone who knows me is aware that i'm most comfortable in warm weather, and i've always said that i want to end up living somewhere where the temperature is perpetually 78°. now i'm pretty spoiled with the weather here in LA but check out the virgin islands [where i'm headed in T-6 hours]


no joke, dude. life's good sometimes.

on to more serious things - and by serious, i mean cute but entirely practical -
tokidoki has teamed up with mimobot for a designer USB flash drive:


brill.yance. did they make this for me?

i'm not going to post a link of where to buy them because i don't wanna see "SOLD OUT" next to it when i buy it [which will inevitably happen soon]. google your own damn self.

on the music tip, if you haven't heard the new DOOM album [all caps when you spell the man's name], you're seriously slipping on banana peels. i can't stop listening to it.


classic, predictable MF - but i love him for that. album artwork is waay dope, too - spend your 13 bucks on it.

see ya suckas, i'm off for a week of paradise before returning to my reality of changing TP rolls on the daily.

...and you thought i was ballin'.
