“I give to my work not 100 percent, but like 200 percent of myself...”
“And she’s like, ‘You should try. It’s yours. Let’s do it.’ And I’m like, ‘OK, let’s do it.’ I will try one time. If I feel comfortable with this, it will be my career.”
Little Dragon attended the 40th annual AVN Awards Show on January 7 in Las Vegas for the first time—she moved to Los Angeles from Tulum in April 2022.
“On AVN I didn’t feel good, I had like a huge pain in my stomach,” Dragon recalls. “And I was sitting and I forgot that I was nominated also. Guys give me like some painkiller and I become alive again and at the same moment when I’m alive I see on the screen I won Best International Starlet and then like, wow! I woke up.
“And I’m like, is it for real? And then Julia Grandi was calling me like, ‘Congratulations!’ And again I started to cry. And I’m like, OK it feels real.
“So I think only because of this it was so unexpected...”
Dragon admits she imagined herself winning the award—ahead of the show she even created a mood board with stickers on the back of her phone as both a reminder and a motivator about the upcoming occasion at AVN.
“I wanted it,” she says. “I wanted it so much and when you get it...For example when you are working very hard on something like this, it’s like you prove that you’ve done enough. Because sometimes you’re doing something and you don’t see feedback from the fans, from the people. You don’t see like appreciation.
“I give to my work not 100 percent, but like 200 percent of myself. Especially because it was my first AVN show and because I am experiencing everything for the first time in America. That to me was very special. I’m very grateful.”
Dragon, who has a master’s degree in Laboratory Diagnostics, reveals she wanted to pursue a career in the medical field from a young age.
“I was dreaming to be a doctor like from my childhood. I was enjoying studying a lot. But when I finished university I turn a different way and it’s amazing,” she says.
One of her biggest passions is creating one-of-a-kind “pussy art” using acrylic paint.
“I sit on canvas and I’m making video of how I’m drawing,” Dragon says. “And then selling my art with the video how I made it.”
