Porn Valley- Katanya Blade’s asshole did all MILF’s proud this past weekend on a Skeeter Kerkove shoot, www.bxmax.com . Blade, wearing dominatrix gear, not only did one of the best scenes you might ever see in a MILF video when she took the best Otto Bauer and Alberto Rey had to give her but asked for more. Double anal was the highlight of the scene and Blade tells me this is the first time she did one.
I hadn’t talked to Blade in a couple of years and this was an opportunity to catch up. Blade tells me the double-A was an unexpected event, that she figured it was going to be your basic D.P. “It just kind of went there. It was fun.”
Blade, however, said she had prepared in the event by prepping with anal toys throughout the week. I wondered how a double-anal felt as compared to a single anal.
“Very, very filling,” Blade laughs. “And I just broke up with my boyfriend so I needed a good fucking.” Since the last time I had talked to her, Blade said she’s been going to school full time, for addiction studies. “Such as in sex, eating disorders, gambling, drugs, alcohol, all that unhappy stuff,” Blade explains, noting that she herself had a problem with drugs and alcohol.
“I quit partying two years; I’m in an AA program. Sharon Mitchell over at AIM gave me a lot of help. I run a 12-step meeting over there for them. I don’t know if that’s going to be my calling but I’m having fun with it right now.”
“Did you hit one of these crash and burn things before you said to yourself I’ve got to do something?”
Blade said that was a fact. “I was being an asshole- it was time to stop. I was out of control.” For Blade it was mainly alcohol. Asked what her booze of choice was, Blade says Johnny Walker Red and Pepsi. “Scotch connoisseurs hate me for that,” she says. “It’s an odd mix but it works.” I was curious who might have introduced Blade to such a concoction.
“He was a photographer,” said Blade. “It was Keith Again. And way back when he used to run HIP Video and Fresh Video. He introduced me to that. We were going out to watch the horses run one day. We sat down with a bottle of each.”
I asked Blade to amplify her asshole comments and how she was being one. “Out of control,” she explains. “I was letting business slide in my personal life. It was definitely enough. I needed to straighten myself out. I run a bachelor party company and I was letting that slide. I always had money coming in but I was squandering it on senseless stuff. Now that I’ve stopped partying I’ve been traveling, going to school; my bachelor party company is up and running. That’s Scandals Bachelor Party Entertainment. I got my website up and going, www.katanyablade.com Things are going very, very well in my life.”
Blade said there was a five year point in her career when she didn’t do scenes. “I used the name Tanya Storm,” she says. “When I came back into the business I changed it to Katanya Blade. I was dancing during that time and very serious with somebody in a relationship. It wasn’t working any more. We’re still friends. It’s not a big hate thing. I think I maybe just fell out of love.”
Blade said that’s not to be confused with the relationship that she ended recently. “That was a little boy toy- he was starting to irritate me. I think he was trying to move into my house. No leachy boys in my life, please. I like men who bring in some money and have their own car.”
Blade was a tomboy growing up. She raced motocross. “Which was great. My dad’s a photo journalist so we always had six brand new motorcycles in the back yard. I’m really into sports, jogging, BMX, skiing, gymnastics- anything sports oriented I just absolutely love. I kind of got into the party thing then straightened myself out for awhile.”
According to Blade, the first time she got laid was in the family’s pool house. “It was in the back house in the pool room. It was by one of my stepbrother’s best friends. I was 14 and I did it doggie,” she laughs. “We just started by making out and playing around. He went down on me which was really nice. Although I’ve found better, since, he kind of turned me over doggie style and next thing I knew he slipped it in. I was kind of clueless. I didn’t know what I was doing.”
Blade, who looks like she’s been doing it all her life, said she didn’t do anal until she was about 22 or 23. “When I started doing movies. The first anal I did was on screen with Mr. Ron Hightower. Ron was a total sweetie to work with. The camera guy- I can’t remember his name- he had long blond hair. But both of those guys really worked with me and they took their time and made it a really good experience. I think that’s why I enjoy it so much now. I’ve heard of girls who’ve had a bad first and never want to do it again and anal can be a lot of fun if you have guys that are willing to take their time with you. You just got to work it in there. Once it’s in there, it’s all good.”
I was curious as to how Blade was screwing up a Bachelor Party business. “Were you screwing the wrong bachelors?”
Blade said she had maybe 20 girls working for her and five drivers. “I was booking 30 shows a week and there’s a lot of organization to be done,” she said. “If you don’t keep your books straight and everybody going the same way, it can get very messy. You’re booking teams of girls out on three or four parties a night. You have to be very organized and it’s hard to be organized if you’re drunk.” Blade said she’d have girls who’d be late and that she needed to be by the phones to straighten things out.
“Just to make sure that things run smoothly and you can’t do that if you’re high,” she says. “It just doesn’t work. I was still making money but not the kind of money that can be made. But now things are absolutely wonderful. I took my kid to Hawaii this year; I went to London and Paris with Rubee Tuesday.”
“I heard some of the stories- like you went to visit Jim Morrison’s grave.”
“We did,” said Blade. “And I had a fantastic time with her. She runs the AIM Healthcare meeting with me and we’re going to be at AEE this year running the AIM booth. She’s one of my absolute, best friends in the world. I love her to pieces. She is just absolutely awesome.”
“I ran into her at one of Pamela Peaks’ cooking shows.”
“I did one of those,” says Blade. “I got a lot of feedback from that. It was great. Lucky Chatsworth was there and some huge buff guy from Austria? But he was a cutie.”
In her personal life, Blade prefers a guy who kisses. “That takes his time- I love cuddling, fondling, all the foreplay. The sex can be almost secondary.”
“So you’re a romantic?”
“Yes,” replies Blade. “But I like it dirty, too. I like playing and taking my time with it. That’s what it’s all about- taking your time and having fun. Sex is supposed to be erotic and is supposed to feel good. It’s not supposed to be rushed.”
Blade started out in the business as asecretary over at Intropics Video for Dick Miller. “Then I moved over to Legend and was selling product there. Then I moved over to Excitement Video with Ruby Gottesman. I was selling video for them.” Blade notes that one of the first directors that shot her was Scotty Fox.
“I’m surprised that experience didn’t start you on the road to alcoholism.”
“I partied with Scotty many a night,” Blade states. [Blade and I both exchange Scotty drinking stories, and, coincidentally, they all took place at the Tropicana in Vegas.]
“Scotty could knock ’em back,” Blade continues. I remember kicking it back with Scotty at the Tropicana. He was playing blackjack and we were just drinking. He must have blown $20,000 at the table one night. Easily. Me and Scotty were buddies. He’s a total doll. I haven’t heard from him in ages.”
“So what happened, one day you’re selling a video and someone asked if you’d like to take it up the ass?”
“I was getting a lot of offers and I was married at the time,” Blade replies. “My husband just did not like the whole industry at all. He was very anti-industry. And as a sales person I had to go to conventions. I got invited to different functions from Scotty Fox and people like that. My husband was just so sure that I was fucking around. I really wasn’t doing it and he got to the point where he started fucking around to get even with me. I wasn’t doing anything. So I dropped him, did my first movie and sent him the tape.”
Blade remembers her first scene was with a guy named Grant. “He only did a couple of movies with me. Actually he had a really tiny penis and my girlfriends nicknamed him Little Trout. His dick didn’t work very well on screen. And I was having a lot of fun and he wanted me to only work with him or girl-girl. I just decided to take it a step further. I was having a good time so I got rid of him and started doing movies with other guys.”
Blade said she continued working for Gottesman a little while longer then decided to quit to do scenes.
“I’ve worked with T.T. Boy and Peter North and everybody, really. I’ve been around for 15 years- maybe? I think.”
