“If I have an idea for something I want and I
can’t buy it, I will figure out how to make it.”
Veteran performer Alison Rey hit her ten-year mark in August 2024. “I’ve been wanting
to come to a Talent Day forever but I was always on a set or something. I finally made
it!” she says with a grin. “Back when I was new, I didn’t live in L.A., so I never got to
do a Talent Day.”
She started performing when she was a college student in another state: “I was
dating this guy, we were on a swingers website, we were trying to find couples close
to our age. We found a couple, we were getting to know them—as one does—and I
asked, ‘What do you do for a living?’
“‘I’ll tell you, but don’t freak out... I do porn.’
“I was like, ‘Cool. Tell me about it.’ She was a student like I was, she’d come out to
L.A., shoot for a week, make all her money, go home, and focus on her studies for
three weeks. Sounded great. She helped me get an agent, come out to L.A. I shot my
first five scenes, loved it.
“Never stopped.”
Rey says it took her a long time to get over the body-shame hangups drilled into her
in Catholic school: “I had a hard time wanting to explore my sexuality, and it’s really
been in the last two-three years that I’ve begun to come out of my shell. Be okay with
who I am as a person and get to love myself. I’ve entered into my Slut Era, that’s what
I’m calling it. I’m finally comfortable enough to say ‘Yeah, I do like these things.’”
The “Slut Era” (“I’m a big Swiftie. She’s such an amazing performer. She’s all about
her ‘eras’: This is my Slut Era.”) comes with some advantages: “Because of the name
that I do have, and the relationships I have built with different directors over the years,
I can go to them and say, ‘Hey, I really want to do this thing’ and work with them to
make projects where I’m getting to do what I want, not just going to a shoot and doing
what they want. Doing it on my own terms, at my own pace. And it’s really cool.”
