For those of you who wouldn’t know Sasha Grey from Grey Poupon, she’s an enigmatic porn actress of some reknown and has been interviewed by everyone on earth with the possible exception of Popular Mechanics, The Christian Science Monitor, Marvel Comics and the NY Times Crossword Puzzle.

In the never ending curiosity about Grey’s celebrated Greta Garbo mystique, Sasha, this week’s Adult CyberMart Porn Babe of the Week, www.adultcybermart.com/PornBOWPast.html was asked a couple of down-to-earth questions recently by the LA Times.

If you don’t know the drill, the Times randomly picks a celebrity who gets to name-drop some restaurants in exchange for [what we assume] gratuities.

As you might expect from a mysteriously elusive dame who claims to have working knowledge of Jean Paul Sartre and Jean-Luc Godard, Sasha came up with obscure places d’cuisine to recommend, all with a very continental, throwaway flippancy when asked addresses.

Paraphrasing her, “If I told you where it was, I’d have to kill you.”

Oh, so-Hollywood, so de rigueur you might agree, for a saucy young lady of fashion who used to wait on tables at a pedestrian steak joint before she got her big break in porn sucking cock.

Thanks to the generosity of some heavy tippers, we must assume, Sasha was able to amass a tidy $7,000 to finance a trip to Pornville after she turned 18.

Here she met such luminaries as Marc Spiegler and Steve “Papa Smurf” Hirsch. For some, that might be a life’s resume considered complete, unless, of course, in the case of Smurf, they also had a celebrity sex tape in their back pocket to make a sleazy distribution deal with.

If you assumed Sasha takes her name from the late porn star Sasha Gabor, you’d be wrong. The name, in fact, comes from the enormously famous performer Sascha Konietzko of the band KMFDM, though we never heard of that radio station.

“Grey” represents Oscar Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray. Imagine how differently things would have worked out had the novel been titled The Picture of Dorian Coznofsky.

Already hailed as the next Jenna Jameson, even without the benefit of a Mixed Martial Arts boyfriend and a ghost-written autobiography, Sasha can, well, suck a mean cock.

This incredible talent eventually earned her bragging rights to that coveted AVN award as well as gain-entry to the lead role in a Vivid movie about… you guessed it, sucking cock. You might recall it was the subject of a Showtime mini-series and the basis of a nasty lawsuit we shall not get into at this time.

Getting back to said Times article, Sasha also mentions that she’s taken up golf and consistently drives balls 400 yards off the tee with a Callaway. The only 400 yard drive in golf we’re aware of, is the time Tiger Woods had that blow out with his ex-wife over hookers, got in an SUV and wrecked it down the street from his house. But, far be it for us to challenge Sasha’s claims.

Thanks also to playing a variety of working girls and slasher victims in enormously popular straight-to-DVD fare, Sasha has become so famous that students in the UK write poems about her. One of them began, “There was a young girl from Nantucket…”

Joke on him, because Sasha was born and raised in North Highlands, California. As daughters of most working class families generally do, Sasha adopted pretensions early on.

In kindergarten she began smoking French cigarettes called Gauloises; learned to spell the word Zeitgeist and wore berets. While her peers tended to youthful games like Chutes and Ladders and the Disney movie, The Little Mermaid, precocious Sasha could be found exercising her mind at various Beatnik coffee houses, where she could be found discussing a range of pseudo-intellectual topics from existentialism to the eternal art world debate pitting the Cubist movement vs. the Bowel movement.

Gifted? Certainly. But it’s puzzling why it took Sasha attendance in four different high schools before she was allowed to graduate. Our suspicion and only our suspicion: Sasha, like the blind man in a game of Blind Man’s Bluff, changed venue for the challenge.

Her biography, however, claims she was unhappy. Perhaps, you’d be, too, if the only thing you had in common with other kids your age was your age and the fact you could suck cock.

Say what you will, a catalogue of her favorite cinema, not counting the films of Bill Murray, intimidates one from even broaching the subject of Sylvester Stallone in her presence.

In having Sasha prepare for her role in The Girlfriend Experience, a movie about a high paid prostitute, director Steven Soderbergh reportedly asked her to watch Godard’s Vivre sa vie, Pierrot le fou and some Capri Anderson videos.

For our part, we prefer Jean-Paul Scungilli’s La Petite Merde C’est Bonne, a provocative and credentialed world-weary documentary about Sicilian mountain climbing. But that’s us.

Could we stand toe-to-toe with Sasha in intellectual discourse? Possibly, though it would be inappropriate for us to brag at this time about our vast resources of nonsensical, but impressive-sounding bullshit.

Taking a potshot at the obviously mounting wave of Sasha’s popularity, David Denby, a critic for The New Yorker, described Sasha in The Girlfriend Experience as being so wrapped in egotism she forgot to give a performance. We saw a picture where she’s wrapped in cellophane and had a much different opinion.

Allowing the lady to have her unchallenged day in the sun, Sasha, already a veteran of two Playboy magazine appearances, gained more notoriety by appearing nude in a PETA ad espousing animal birth control particularly condoms for Collies.

She continued to pursue a mainstream career that included a challenging stretch of acting in Entourage where she pretended not to be repulsed by Jeremy Piven. A rumored appearance on Wheel of Fortune is in the works, and, should they begin including a Chloe Sevigny category, Jeopardy.

To encapsulate her professional activities would be most daunting to say the least. Safe to say, Sasha often makes guest appearances as a deejay in clubs where patrons, often zonked out, mistake her for Tera Patrick.

In 2008, Sasha began an industrial music collaboration, called aTelecine, with the renowned Pablo St. Francis, though we prefer the works of St. Francis of Assisi much better.

Possibly reflecting her conflicting state of mind, Sasha’s also been featured in Eminem’s music video for “Space Bound” and has her first book, Neü Sex, slated to be released on March 29, 2011 two days before the opening of Major League baseball.
