interview by Scooter McBooter
Persia Monir is a collaboration of great clichés. Good things come to those who wait. Like a great wine, she gets better with age.
She’s certainly the ultimate late bloomer in the world of adult entertainment, and the quintessential, very definition of a MILF.
Persia loves meeting fans and many will have the chance this weekend at Exxxotica in Fort Launderdale, but before heading out to the convention, she took time out to talk to me from her home in Boynton Beach, Florida. The avid golfer, the 40DD-25-37 former nurse was upfront, open, and a real delight to speak with.
SM: I guess to be right up from the start, is it true that you are 54 years of age?
PM: I am. I think I’m at a good age now. As they say the older you get the wiser you get. I’m happier and healthier and I look better than I did at 18 or even 25.
SM: You certainly are far from almost every other 50-something lady out there.
PM: I’ve always been over the top and out of the norm. And I really am a MILF. A lot of other ladies who are billed as MILFs are more in the Cougar genre, but I really am a MILF.
SM: You really did get a late start into the business, correct?
PM: I started stripping at 34 and I didn’t start doing hardcore till I was 46. It’s definitely a late start. Fortunately my body is timeless. I was an athlete in my 20s and have kept my body in shape.
SM: Why do you think men are attracted to you?
PM: I think it’s because I’m honest and genuine. I’m not fake at all. And I’m highly sexed. I still enjoy what I’m doing and I enjoy doing everything with a high level of authenticity.
SM: What kind of man are you attracted to?
PM: I’ve always been attracted to older men. Younger men have never really done it for me. But a lot of it has to do with personality and maturity, and it’s got nothing to do with age. I’ve met 25 year olds who are more mature and wiser than 70 year olds.
SM: Does that enter into your choices of who to do scenes with?
PM: I have many different audiences and I like to shoot the types of scenes that fans request and there are certain companies that like me doing certain types of scenes.
SM: Is it correct that you recently filmed your first anal scene?
PM: It was my first, and the following the day I did another scene with the same actor which turned out to be my first DP. Both of them were really good scenes.
SM: Have you done a lot of girl-girl scenes?
PM: I’m very bi. I’m all over Girlfriend Films. I do a lot of the mother-daughter exchange … and always with the virgins! I loved working with Kitty Bella.
SM: Will you be doing more girl-girl soon?
PM: I’d love to do more. Maybe I’ll find some possibilities at Exxxotica.
SM: Do you have any favorite ladies to work with?
PM: There are so many beautiful girls out there. It does help to know someone before you shoot with them. I’ve got a scene with Ava Devine coming to my site in June. I’d love to work with Holly Halston but I’m not sure if she’s still in the business. Prinzzess, too, is very hot and she’s a contract girl with Girlfriend Films.
SM: You are one of the rare ladies with a luscious, full bush. Was that by choice for you?
PM: My fans like it and I like it. It’s a personal preference. Besides, who wants to fuck a prickly pear? Fur is nice, and I don’t like shaved men either. Shaving your balls is fine, but not the whole area.
SM: You are working on a book about your life. How is that coming along?
PM: Thanks for asking about it. I thought I had finished it but I gave it to four people to read. It’s a compilation of short stories about my time as a stripper. It’s kinda funny … a black comedy. There’s some interesting tales about family, betrayal and much more. But everyone who read it agreed that they want the whole enchilada. So I’m going ahead with a full auto-biography – from the beginning of things to the present. I’m going to restart writing it in the very near future. I usually need to get motivated to write and then I get on it in spurts.
SM: Will it be similar to books written by Jenna Jameson and Tera Patrick?
PM: My experiences were very different – everyone’s tale is different – about how I got in the business. Being a single mom had a lot to do with it. I had to support myself and I became a stripper. I wasn’t doing any hardcore, but I did have a soft site. When my son turned 18, I went into hardcore. I did have some fun with alcohol over the years but I got to the point when enough is enough. Like a rock star, you have to shut it down or you’re doing to die.
SM: You are now producing your own movies for your site and doing a lot less traveling, is that right?
PM: I do still go somewhere every month for five days to a week, and feature dance at a club. But I’m getting more into Internet-based work and starting a webcam show. This year I travelled too much. I’m still going to be able to reach people. It just makes more sense and makes your brand stronger by being able to reach more people. You set a schedule and everyone can see you regularly and you develop a really strong fanbase.
SM: Along with your site (www.persiaspalace.com) you have a new project underway, right?
PM: I do. It’s a VOD (video on demand) site that just started this week called www.princesspersiaproductions.com. I’d like to encourage everybody to fight piracy. If you’re a fan of any star, please join their official site otherwise we just can’t keep going on. The business model has changed because of piracy in adult films. There’s such temptation out there but it is nice to support your favorites by buying their product directly.
SM: And fans can also follow you on Twitter.
PM: Please do. I’m at @persiamonir
