| Savanna Samson is the WrestlingINC.com Girl Of The Month for June 2009. In addition to being a top adult actress for Vivid, she is also a singer and runs a wine business called 'Savanna Samson Wines'. Her latest single, 'Possession', is available now on iTunes.
Wrestling INC: We heard you had an interesting story of how you got into the adult biz. Please tell us about it.
Yes, I guess it is in fact interesting. I was working as a dancer at the now extinct gentlemen's club - Scores - where it seemed everyone was so open and free about their sexuality. I met a girl who turned me on to Rocco Siffredi. I didn't know whether to be really turned on or really disgusted by his movies but the more I watched, the more I wanted to be on the screen with him. I ended up writing a letter to him and sending him 11x14 pictures of myself in lingerie. About three months later I got a call from him and the next thing I knew i was on my way to Paris to make my first and, at the time, only movie. It ended up getting nominated for best foreign film at AVN and I went to the award show. When I saw the Vivid booth I knew I wanted to be a part of them. I asked someone there how I could become a Vivid Girl and the next thing I knew they were offering me a contract. The rest, as they say, is history!
Wrestling INC: What does it mean to you to be a Vivid Girl?
It's one thing to be a porn star and quite another to be a Vivid Girl. We are recognized internationally as part of an elite group of girls who are not only the epitome of sexual hotness but also quite an elegant group of girls who also have a voice with something to say. We rarely fit the stereo typical mold of the idea of "porn star". There are so many opportunities as a Vivid Girl and never a dull moment.
Wrestling INC: Please tell us about your wine business.
I started my wine business a few years ago. I have three different vintages so far. I have an amazing wine maker named Roberto Cippresso and the opportunities are endless. My first dream, Sogno Une 2004 received a rating of 91points from famous wine critic Robert M. Parker which forced people to look at my wine as something more than a novelty. My newest release, a La Barbera, Sogno Tre, received 92 points. Next I am developing a champagne and then back to Italy for a Pinot Grigio. I'm totally enjoying this journey and I hope you follow me. My wine site is www.SavannaWine.com and I am in the process of starting an online store and a wine club called Love At First Glass where i will pair wines with adult toys and movies. I cant wait to launch it!
Wrestling INC: What was it like to make an album and when can we hear it?
Actually it was similar to making my first movie with Vivid. I was nervous and awkward when I first got in the studio. It was difficult to hear myself and sing to the beat. Now, I love being in the studio and welcome the challenge. It's really sensuous. You can hear my first single called Possession, now on itunes and Dance Floor is soon following. I am releasing Sex Symbol and the music video any day now. I hope you like it!
Wrestling INC: What are the titles of some of your favorite movies with Vivid so far and what is your latest movie?
Some of my favorites are, The New Devil in Miss Jones, I play Miss Jones and Jenna Jameson plays the Devil.
Wrestling INC: Now that you are single again, what type of guy do you like to date?
Oh gosh, I really don't have a type. I want a man who stimulates me both mentally and physically. It's so weird I feel like a silly high school girl around guys these days. I almost don't know how to act! I mean everyone thinks I'm this sex crazed porn star but I'm really not. The expectations are high and that makes me feel insecure.
Wrestling INC: Do you think you would enjoy dating a wrestler?
Oh yes! Something about men that are capable of being brutal turns me on!
Wrestling INC: If a fan wanted to meet you, what would be the best way to approach you?
I'm recently on Twitter as the real Savanna; www.Twitter.com/therealsavanna I'm having fun updating and putting my two cents in on a daily basis. If you see me, come say hi. I am really approachable. And besides I'm single and want to have fun! It always surprises me when someone recognizes me but afterwards I always say, 'that was cool'. |
