“I kind of transitioned into the industry out of sheer curiosity...”
Born in Memphis, Tenn. and raised in Colorado, August Skye isn’t what some could call a garden-variety adult performer.
With her striking looks and a love for fashion and photography, the 5-foot-8 Skye
always stood out in the crowd, so it was not surprising to anyone that she would gravitate toward fashion modeling early in her high school days.
Between photo sessions, she attended a school for fashion design where she could share her own vision for unique clothing and accessories.
“So I did a lot of mainstream, then I transitioned into glamour when my body came into full fruition,” she said. “You can’t be a size two forever so puberty hit me a little later in life. I became a little more voluptuous. So, I transitioned and started shooting more for glamour and swimwear.”
With her sizable bust, now 36DDs, and curves to match, the once rail-thin model was becoming a sensation on the glamour model circuit and on social media.
She soon found herself shooting for Playboy and discovered she was equally at home in nude modeling as she was in mainstream work.
“I kind of transitioned into the industry out of sheer curiosity,” she recalled. “I always wanted to look into doing hardcore adult work. It wasn’t hard for me at all. I think I made peace with myself with like being comfortable with it. But people don’t realize there’s a kind of merge between both worlds, mainstream and adult.”
Having followed a number of influencers and models on social media, she discovered a kindred spirit in one adult performer who would assist her in her entry into the industry. “In social media there are a lot of girls that I would look at their pages and this one girl that stuck out to me was Scarlit Scandal,” she said. “She had this gorgeous page and all these great pictures. And I realized she was in the industry. I’d see her wearing these things with Vixen on them and I didn’t know what Vixen was. But I liked her
branding and that’s what started it for me.”
By the time the bubbly newcomer finished her first porn shoot, she was hooked and
admittedly never looked back.
“My first day on set was for NetVideoGirls and I remember getting my make up done
