Montana Gunn Interview

I've known Montana for about six years. We had a chat Monday morning, July 26, 2004.

Montana, speaking from her home town of Dallas: "I'm walking my doggies [each weigh under 20 pounds] right now.

"I was in LA about two weeks ago for five days. I did a scene for some jerk who bounced a $1500 check on me. His name is Paul St. Claire. His business is 3E Studios Inc, 22-32-98th St, East Elmhurst, New York, 11369. He also bounced a check on Dominic and Paul Coxx.

"Whoopsie. I just fell in a hole. Wonderful. It's rough out here in Dallas. There are holes all over the place.

"I moved back here last November. I couldn't handle it out in LA. It was making me go crazy again. I go back and forth to LA all the time. It's less expensive here and it keeps me mellow, out of the party scene. It's neutral grounds for me.

"Paul St. Claire said he was going in partners with Tabetha Yang. That she was getting rid of her modeling studio, which is probably a bunch of bull."

"Have you talked to Paul after your check bounced?"

"No. He hasn't returned my calls. I'm going to send it to the DA. He can ask [infamous porn director] what that is like. XXX bounced a check on me about five years and it cost him his contract with [prominent hardcore company]. XXX never made it up. I sent it over to the DA and I guess he went to jail for it.

"I'm looking at property out here to build a home."

"Are you going to build it yourself?"

"Yes."

"With a hammer and nails?"

"No, not like that. I'm not going to be pounding nails. I'm going to be designing it. I'm buying a half-acre of land. I want a stucco house and out here all they have are brick houses. I want it to be different. I want to do all my own decorating inside.

"In LA, I shot for Kevin Ducante. He shoots a lot for Peter North. He has his own company, shooting strap-on stuff of girls doing guys. He also does the line Pigtail Cuties. Cute girls who look good in pigtails.

"I was on Pamela Peaks' cooking show. I got to see my friends Racquel DeVine and John West. I went over to David Christopher's. He's like my best friend.

"I feel like I did more in my days in LA than I did in the year that I lived there."

"What don't you like about LA?"

"It's too expensive. The traffic. It's too crowded. I feel like I can't breathe. I can't get anything done to there. When I go to New York, I have massive jetlag. Here I'm centrally located. I'm feeling good. I look way younger when I'm over here because I'm not stressed out. I'm able to save money.

"You never saw my dog Bachelor? He's like the porn mascot."

"Did he do movies?"

"No, he used to hang out and watch.

"I'm going to some acting classes at this big acting school, Las Colinas.

"Hang on a minute, I got my dogs tangled up with other doggies."

Ten minutes later, when she's got everything untangled and is home, Montana phones back.

"That's a great way to meet people," I say, "to get all tangled up."

"Too bad I live in the gay ghetto," she replies.

We return to the subject of Paul St. Claire. "He brought up Kiki's [D'Aire] name. I called her. She said she'd never worked for him. She knew who he was. He claimed Friday and Sarah Jay were working with his new modeling agency.

"I'm going to New York to shoot for Black Mirror Productions (Joe Gallant) August 8-11. I love my mainstream stuff when I get it.

"I turned my car into a race car. I'm on the Porsche race team now. It's an expensive hobby. I've gotten up to 140mph on the track, but not around the corners. That's been fun when I can afford it.

"I've just finished filming for a VH1 special behind the scenes with porn stars. Risque was shooting a VH1 special with me, Kitten (ex-wife of Marc Davis), Monique (Alexander), Veronica (from Oregon) and some other girls.

"Risque did our lifestyles outside the business within a year. So much stuff has happened and I'm so glad that mine turned out the best. Kitten is going through all that stuff with her husband. They've got all the bits and pieces about that. They started filming as she was getting married to Marc.

"They started with me when I was in LA and dating Michael Raven's brother Thomas Priest. He used to do the art direction for Michael. We were together about seven months. He moved with me to Dallas and then I kicked him out. He wasn't working. He had so much responsibility. He had five kids. He had to send all this money back to them. And then he wasn't working. I couldn't take it anymore.

"Kitten, Nancy Vee and I went to the Super Bowl together. I told him that by the time I got back, I wanted him out.

"On the weekends, I'll shoot guns and stuff like that. They filmed me doing that and racing my car and burning pictures of Thomas Priest. They interviewed my father. He said, this is my daughter the gun. As long as I don't shove it in his face, he doesn't care. He just wants me to be happy. We're really happy."

I understand Thomas Priest lives in Texas and works in the car business.
