What is this?’”
She’s performed for Amateur Allure, New
Sensations and Team Skeet, and her dream scene
would be with James Deen: “I want for him to tie me
up, spank me and get real rough.”
She wants to get more acting roles: “I studied
acting since I was a little girl.” And she reveres Meryl
Streep (“You can’t fake that. That’s the kind of acting
I always wanted to do.”) and Jessica Lange (“I love
two weeks.”) and she’s looking forward to
the 2016 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo:
“I attended last year’s event. The best
experience of my entire life.”
Her long-term plan is to go back to school
to become a therapist, and she wants to
specialize in helping mentally ill patients.

Val Dodds Takes the Industry by Storm
Hometown: Lincoln, Nebraska | Age: 21 | Height: 5-foot-11 | Measurements: 130 pounds, 32C-26-28 | Eyes: Hazel | Hair: Brown
was arrested in Lincoln, Nebraska, for public nudity and
Val Dodds always knew she had a wild streak. But when she
trespassing at her old high school in 2013, even the then
19-year-old Dodds was surprised when she became a sudden
media sensation.
“I hopped a fence to my old Catholic high school and shot a video of
me masturbating with a crucifix,” she said. “I was getting a lot of shit for
starting my website at such a young age so I kind of wanted to get back at
them. It was just a shoot I wanted to do for my website, but it turned into
a big thing all of the sudden.”
The young adult performer, who then went by the pseudonym Val
Midwest for her website, was soon on newspapers, magazines, websites
and television news reports around the world.
Having to serve 30 days in jail did not keep Dodds from her
ValMidwest.com adult website for long. Upon her release she was soon
back at it—but this time, she was more popular than ever. Soon, Hustler
magazine came calling and she became the June 2013 Hustler Honey.
But even as her magazine cover came out, her father passed away
suddenly, impacting the entire family.
“He was a great guy and we looked up a lot to him and now we try to
live the best we can for him,” she recalled.
While producers clamored for her to do adult movies, Dodds finally took
the plunge last May and came out to Los Angeles. The slender 5-foot-
9-inch beauty got her career started with a slew of girl/girl shoots that
solidified her reputation as an enthusiastic performer with a down-for-
anything attitude not often seen in newcomers.
“I only do girl/girl since that’s what I love to do,” she said. “Girls are a
lot more sensual and softer. Girls know their bodies and know what we
like and we’re not the ones who have the penis [and] need to ram it into
somebody all the time.”
Herself a foot fetishist, she enjoys doing a little foot action on camera
whenever she can. “I love when people play
with my feet. Chanell Heart, whom I did a
scene with, had her foot in the perfect place
near my pussy so I could do something
with it and [director] Mike Quasar goes,
‘That’s perfect. You incorporated it right
into the scene!’”
Although she travels back and forth
between Nebraska and California, Dodds
doesn’t mind the commute every few
weeks. “I love L.A., but I’m not going
to move there. Lincoln is my home and
there’s no way I would trade that.”
With her pig PJ and two dogs back home,
she says her love for her pets, family and
open country gives her reason to keep
commuting. Meanwhile, the bubbly Dodds
keeps busy with her website, camming
schedule and her intensive boxing workout.
