Of course, there's more to Janie than meets the eye (though what meets the eye is definitely enough to keep us occupied for some time). We got a chance to talk with Janie over the phone. Click through to read our interview—and plenty more pictures.

Fleshbot: What were you doing before you signed with Digital Playground? Did you have any idea you were going to start doing porn? Was it spontaneous? What happened?
Janie Summers: Well, I was actually doing porn before I signed with them. I just didn't have a whole lot of scenes. I knew I wanted to sign a contract with Digital Playground, they're my very favorite company—so it just kinda worked out.

How long have you been doing porn?
I started about nine months ago.

Do you do boys and girls, just girls, just boys?
I do both boys and girls.

So what made you wanna sign with Digital Playground?
Well, I had been looking to get a contract, hoping that something would work out because I like the idea of the relationship, just being at one company the whole time and getting to know those people. When I was offered it, I was kind of surprised but really excited and everything just kind of happened really quickly and I contacted my agent and then just worked it all out.

That's awesome. So, have you shot with Digital Playground yet, since you've signed?
I just started working on one thing recently—I live in Ohio so I fly back and forth.

Can you say anything about the stuff you've shot with them?
They told me not to say anything about the stuff I've already shot but my DVD is going to come out soon and that's what we're working on.

What's your favorite fetish?
I really don't mind being tied up at all.

You don't mind or you like it?
I guess I should be cautious when I say that because some people do that very harshly and I don't like that, but I don't mind being taken advantage of and all that.

Do you consider yourself a top or a bottom, generally?
I think when it comes to girls it's a little different. I guess it just depends on how the girl is. Since I have a cute babyface they like to play me in a lot of bottom roles I guess.

So what do you like to do when you're not on set?
Everyone always asks me this, and I think I need to get a hobby. I email with my family and friends a lot and I go to the gym and stuff like that. Not a whole lot.

You're in Ohio right?
Right.

If I were to come to Ohio, what's something I'd definitely have to do?
JS: See a [Cleveland Cavaliers] game....Sports is what I would come see.

Do you think you'll ever move out to LA or are you planning on staying in Ohio?
I kinda wanna see how it works out like this. But I have a feeling it might get a little hectic and I may have to move out there. I'm not opposed to it, I'm just kind of settled in Ohio right now but I could move.

Are there any stars that you're looking forward to performing with—do you have a wishlist of people you'd like to work with?
Yeah, definitely. I wanna work with Manuel Ferrara. And—I've never worked with Belladonna. I'm not sure if she works with that company a lot but if we did that'd be really cool.

If you ever get the chance, go for it because—obviously she's an amazing performer but she's just the sweetest person ever too.
That's so cool.

Digital Playground has a pretty good record of getting its stars in more mainstream fare as well. Would you be interested in being in a mainstream movie or doing stuff like that as well?
This is how I look at it: I really love porn, but I absolutely would jump at any opportunity to do something like that, because I think it's great to be able to try new things and I'm glad that they would actually help us out with things like that. But I wouldn't necessarily just leave porn for mainstream.

Right, so you like doing porn but you'd like to be doing other stuff in addition.
Definitely, because we have down time and there's definitely great opportunities that come about but yeah, I'm definitely excited to still do porn for a long time.

And having done so, we're pleased to announce that Raven does, in fact, live up to the hype. A smart, capable girl who loves Star Trek, World of Warcraft, and, of course, making porn, she's a geek's dream. Add to that the fact that she's got a head for business, and runs not one, but two sites all on her own, and well—it should be easy to see why we're totally smitten. Looking to fall in love yourself? Click through the gallery to read our interview with Raven.

Fleshbot: So just to get started, can you tell me a little bit about yourself? Where are you from, how long have you been doing adult, how did you get into adult?
Raven Alexis: I'm originally from the Northwest and I've been living in Las Vegas for about three years now. I've done a lot of online work; I've done some dvd work as well and I have my own websites that I started and I work really hard on those and obviously now I'm with DP, so that's kind of me in a nutshell.

What made you decide to start your own site?
I've always kind of wanted to have my own website, to start my own business, be my own boss. And it just seemed like the web is where everything is right now.

For your own website, how much of the business end did you do? Were you also doing any technical stuff?
I own and operate them. I do have two webmasters that help me operate them, but I can do pretty much everything just in case someone can't do something. So I edit occasionally, I update the sites occasionally....I'm my own production company, so I try to be as hands on as possible and involve myself in everything a little bit.

Image of Raven Alexis courtesy of Digital Playground (digitalplayground.com)

What's the difference between ravenalexis.com and ravensplayhouse.com?
Raven's Playhouse is my first site and it's exclusively solo...solo masturbation, solo stuff. It's much more girl next door, sweet girl stuff. Raven Alex has my boy-girl, girl-girl. It's got kind of a collection of stuff on it. It has a backstage pass area on it where they can actually just kind of see see me in regular life doing regular life things.

How long have you been doing hardcore?
I have been doing it...I want to say for a year and a half now.

And what made you decide to start doing hardcore? Was it something you planned all along?
Yeah, it's definitely something I planned. I wanted to get a lot of solo glamour work under my belt. I wanted to make sure it was the right time and everything. And I've done it exclusively on my own site, on Raven Alexis, so all along I've been wanting to go to the next level. And Digital Playground has definitely been in my sights. I just think they're an amazing company and now I finally get the opportunity to work with them.

Do you consider yourself a geek? Is that how you self identify?
Definitely, yeah. I'm proud of it.

So what's the geekiest thing about you?
Um, well, there's a lot of geeky things. I play a lot of computer games, I play a lot of Xbox, I go to Comic-Con every year. I have a huge Star Trek thing, I go to Star Trek conventions.... Um yeah I'm very into gadgets, into sci-fi, just not really your typical girl, I guess.

Image of Raven Alexis courtesy of Digital Playground (digitalplayground.com)

In terms of gadgets, what are your favorite gadgets?
My iPhone definitely is my favorite. I don't go anywhere without that. My computer. I have several. I have my gaming machines and then I have my laptop.

What kinds of computers do you have?
I have one Mac that I do all my website stuff on, then I have actually my two PCs that I built out myself. They're water cooled; they've got all the latest on them.

Image of Raven Alexis courtesy of Digital Playground (digitalplayground.com)

Are you mainly into Star Trek? Are there other sci-fi things you like?
I like Star Trek, it's probably my favorite. Battlestar Galactica is probably my second favorite. I do watch Star Wars. I'm not as into them, but I think I'm more of a trekkie than a Star Wars person, but I like them all and I'll give anything a chance. But I think Star Trek is my favorite and BSG is my second.

New BSG or old BSG?
I would have to say old. I watch the new stuff but it doesn't do as much for me.

And which breed of Star Trek?
The Next Generation.

Image of Raven Alexis courtesy of Digital Playground (digitalplayground.com)

I also heard you play World of Warcraft.
Yes, I do.

Did you know there's a porn star guild in World of Warcraft?
I did not know that, no...If there is such a thing I would definitely be interested.

Have you run into any issues with your account? Mia Rose, one of the pornstars who plays World of Warcraft actually had her account banned because of being a pornstar.
No I haven't. I don't really discuss it. You know, I've played it for, gosh, five, six years now. I don't really discuss what I do. I don't you know let it be known who I am or anything like that. Yeah, I haven't run into any problems with that.

Image of Raven Alexis courtesy of Digital Playground (digitalplayground.com)

Have you shot any scenes for Digital Playground yet?
Yes, I have. I actually just finished doing something for them that's going to be released hopefully just right in time for the AVNs. We're just focusing on filming as much as we can.

Do you know what it's going to be called or is it still untitled?
I don't. I think they kind of keep those things untitled until the last second, you know?

Can you talk about who did you get to work with?
Oh, I can't actually say who I worked with but it was a great team and they were two of the best performers in the industry so it's not going to disappoint for sure.

Oh, two? Did you do two separate scenes?
It was one scene.

Oh, okay. Oh my goodness. Are you planning on working with males, females, both?
Both, all, you know, as much as I can get. I love sex and I love men and women equally.

Image of Raven Alexis courtesy of Digital Playground (digitalplayground.com)

Are there things you haven't done on camera yet that you are looking forward to doing?
I always I want to do new stuff all the time....I'm always looking to kind of push the envelope and do as much crazy kinky fun stuff as possible.

What would you say is your favorite fetish?
Um, gosh. I like BDSM, I like I have a kind of strange mask fetish, kind of like the "Eyes Wide Shut" thing. I have a lot of different kinks that I enjoy, but BDSM is probably the top contender.

Do you consider yourself a top or a bottom?
A top.

Image of Raven Alexis courtesy of Digital Playground (digitalplayground.com)

You live in Las Vegas, right?
Yes, I do.

So if I were to come to Las Vegas, what would be something I would absolutely have to do?
Oh gosh. I think probably the most important thing here in Vegas is the old strip, the Fremont Street experience. I have a fascination with all things classic and retro, so it's pretty cool to see the old classic Vegas like you see in all the movies.

Are there things you see as a local that tourists don't normally see?
I think everybody thinks that vegas is crazy crazy 24/7, you know? But there's a huge outdoors scene, = hiking and ski clubs and things like that. There's a huge suburban feel to it as well. So, I think people tend to just see the strip and don't realize how much it has to offer for actually like living here and doing other stuff.

A relative newcomer to the industry, Alexis has only done a handful of girl/girl scenes so far—but we hear she's very excited to shoot her first boy/girl scene for "American Made: Alexis Ford." Which is kind of a coincidence, when you consider how excited we are to see that exact same scene.

[And is it just us, or does Alexis look like she could be Kayden and Bree's little sister? We're not going to tell Adam & Eve how to do their job or anything, but we think this resemblance needs to be capitalized on in some upcoming feature about sisterly love.]

We, ourselves, don't know much about Lia, but according to Vivid's press release:

Lia, who says she considers herself outgoing, open-minded and easy to get along with, runs through her personal profile: "I'm definitely a girl who is one of the guys. I love sports. I was a swimmer, lifeguard and water polo player in high school. I got into golf while I was modeling and found out I'm pretty good. I think my handicap is around 12 now and If I wasn't pursuing a career in adult, I'd try to get better and earn my living playing golf. Even though I'm from Arizona I'm a diehard New York Giants fan and I'm always wearing my grungy old Giant jersey. I watch ESPN and the Discovery and History channels. I'm a gamer (favorite game: 'Resident Evil'). I operate my own business and even photograph the models for the website. On the other hand, I love being a girl, love to shop and collect Coco Chanel clothes and accessories."

She says she prefers dating older men because they "have confidence, which is very appealing to me. They don't have to be that much older, but they have to show me that they're in charge. If I had to choose between a lineman or a quarterback, it would be the lineman every time. I don't like pretty boys and I'm turned on by a kiss on the back of my neck. I'd love to have sex with Jeremy Shockey of the New Orleans Saints—if he was interested."

Well, all we can say is that we hope she comes up with a last name soon. It's hard these days to be a one name superstar (well, unless you're Belladonna...or Cytherea...or Stoya...or—well, the point is, she should have a last name.).

So what makes a casting call for "Bounce 3" different from, say, a casting call for the newest Denny's commercial? Well, as you might expect, there's a lot more exposed flesh (and, we'd wager, more fake boobs). We've already picked out some of our favorite potential stars, but we'd love to hear which girls you'd like to see more of. Remember, any one of these girls could be the next Monique Alexander or Hanna Hilton.

We won't say it's heartwarming, exactly, but it's also not horrifying. So, somewhere between "heartwarming" and "horrifying" is this series of coy-adjacent Japanese newcomers who are gently taught Porn Valley-style blowjob techniques, including the direction, akin to Yes We Can, to Always Look Up.

It's also a pleasure to see the likes of Itsuka out and about in Tokyo, timidly clutching her coffee before the day's deflowering, or a woman named Neon dressed in the garb of a holiday they don't really have there, similar to when I run around with my nuts out for Berchtold's Day, a holiday in Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

Speaking of nuts, well, what I meant to say was "bush." There is a lot of bush in this movie. And blessedly few nuts.

That's the first thing out of the mouth of the director of Vivid's "Brand New Faces 10" when he sees Pharyn Sparxxx for the first time. Me, I was like "Holy shit; look at your name tag." Had she been the guy from those old Cheetos commercials, Ms. Sparxxx probably would not have got very far with that name but, as you will see, she'd look good even if her name was Asdjliklvf McNejfhkuedkued.

"Holy crap. Fuck, you're beautiful," director B. Skow demands. "Look at you."

The Honduran Sparxxx appears before us in her first porn scene, and Skow, who when not faced with the likes of phat porn Latinas is always articulate and genteel, makes sure that the mission statement of the series - that no one featured therein has ever appeared in a sex movie before - be maintained.

But unlike other vignettes in this series, in which newbie women are paired with men like Sascha and James Deen, Sparxxx, who prefers women, gets a visit from Rebeca Linares. You see, they speak the same language.

"Can you even understand what I'm saying?" cries Skow at one point.

Could Pharyn Sparxxx be the next Strokahontas? Holy crap. Fuck. Look at us. We don't know.

In that this edition of "Brand New Faces" is the tenth installment in the venerable seven-month-old series, a second disc is included with some of the director's favorite scenes (not included: the treacherous Jean Laconia).

Those focus groups must have also determined that the newly christened Shawna was worthy of having an entire movie devoted to her, which is how Digital Sin's new "I Love Shawna" came into existence. But it's less a tribute video than a cleanly packaged retrospective of Shawna's career to date, with her early amateurish brunette scenes giving way to more recent lesbian trysts and naughty Catholic schoolgirl fantasy exploration. In fact, seeing her dressed up in that plaid skirt made us think that maybe this gal really does have a certain special kind of star quality after all. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Sky appears in the geekporn series "Whorelore", in which she may or may not don pointy ears. "Geeks would have it made if they just shaped up."

But Mz. Buttaworth is holding out; the first obvious thing is off limits.

"I don't like being spanked," she said. "I like being fucked hard." Joined by 238-lb. Victoria and the randy Euro porn veteran Steve Holmes, who giddily commands them to make a sandwich of his face, Buttaworth is a National Treasure.

Part of Victoria's job is to act as an ass-handler, a job she performs with a flourish of her elegant manicure.

The gently undulating flesh reminds this transfixed observer of the sentient planet of Solaris.

I guess the real winner is Steve Holmes, who has never looked happier.
