“I’ve always wanted to be a Spiegler Girl and I’m
really honored to be on the roster.”
The biggest transition of all, however, came in January, when she sold BurningAngel
to Pure Taboo parent company Gamma Entertainment. While a tectonic shift for Joanna
personally, the move has little if any impact on devout BurningAngel loyalists. (And though
she’s no longer working for herself when it comes to BurningAngel output, Angel did start a
new label, Sex Unfiltered, for select projects she wishes to produce and own.)
Meanwhile, those fans will continue to see her popping up in all sorts of other new places,
thanks to her recently having signed on with talent agent extraordinaire Mark Spiegler.
“I’ve always wanted to be a Spiegler Girl and I’m really honored to be on the roster,”
Angel says. “I’m 38 years old, I want to really go full steam with however many realistic years
I have left with performing, and I knew he was the right person for me to do it with.”
To name a few of the wildly varied productions of late in which Joanna’s fan legion should
look for her, there’s the Mike Quasar-directed romance Love Song from Wicked Pictures, the
Digital Playground action/thriller You Will Regret This from director Billy Visual (reviewed on
page 117), helmsman Chris Streams’ self-explanatory Evil Angel release Double Anal Divas
(in which, she cracks, “I played the role of a girl who got two dicks in her ass at the same
time … and it was fucking awesome,”) and her own BurningAngel action/thriller Insomniac.
In addition, she continues to gain new fans by way of two extracurricular projects: her
whiskey brand Doom’s, operated jointly with husband Aaron Thompson (aka Small Hands),
and available at DoomsWhiskey.com; and her novel Night Shift: A Choose-Your-Own Erotic
Fantasy, which made its way this spring onto Cosmopolitan’s list of the world’s top 29 “must
read” erotic novels. What’s more, she hints that there’s a follow-up novel on the way: “I’m
contractually obligated to finish another one before the end of the year.”
When an angel spreads her wings, it might be said, there is no place to go but up, and
that’s exactly what the Pornoverse should expect to see in this new chapter of Angel’s career.
“I truly love this industry. I love directing, performing, writing and creating. I just want to
keep going, and enjoying this ride for as long as I can. Even though I feel a bit like I’m the
Van Wilder of porn, I am not done here and I have so much left to do.”
