Antonio Benderass Antonio Benderass Bill Diehl, Cheyenne Hunter Cheyenne Hunter Cheyenne Hunter 3/22/06 Antonio Benderass says he's a gourmet chef, but he works fulltime in the sex industry, assisting his girlfriend Cheyenne Hunter as she strips around the nation. He's been around the sex industry for 18-months and done about ten scenes. Luke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?" Antonio: "A cop. People tell me I have that look." Antonio and Cheyenne drive to her feature dancing gigs to avoid airport hassles. Cheyenne Hunter has done about 300 movies. She's been feature-dancing for years. "I started dancing in Massachusetts," she says. "Someone came up and asked if I wanted to feature. I did. I explored other avenues." She has the soundbytes down. "I love the freedom. You can make your own schedule. I learned a lot more being on the road hands-on [as a stripper] than you can ever learn in a classroom about geography. "The one thing I hate is the inconsistency. It's either feast or famine." Bill Diehl yells at Lady Armani for using his computer without his permission. He raises his voice. "Don't you think you're being nervy?" he asks. She apologizes. "Where did you get the nerve to touch my computer and talk back to me about it? Walk away! You want to argue with me?" She walks away. Cheyenne and I say whoa. Is Bill yelling at us? No. We step away. Luke: "How has it affected you to be in this industry?" Cheyenne: "It affects you more when you first get in. You don't know what to expect. You make a lot of money quickly and there are a lot of things going on. When you're young, you've got parties, you've got work, you've got money, you've got toys... As you get older, you have to balance it out. "The younger people coming in now are smarter. We've got computer. They're more knowledged. They realize they need to plan for the future." Luke: "You've saved your money?" Cheyenne: "I have. I've put some away for retirement. I've invested in some properties. "I'm still working. I want to go for as long as I can because there are a couple of businesses I want to venture into." Luke: "How has it affected your love life?" Cheyenne: "That is the infamous question of every porn star and feature dancer. Everyone will tell you it does affect it. Either you can be married one time or five times. If they are not in the industry, they either feel they can convert you or you feel you can convert them. You try to work it together, but someone who has a regular job is with someone from this industry, you have nothing in common to talk about work. They can't relate to your work and you can't relate to their's. You're all over the board and they've got a foundation. They've got a structured life. It tends not to work. If you come into the industry with somebody, they have to be a strong enough person to deal with you being with different people every day. Even though it is a business, some people can't tolerate that." |
