We're not really sure what sort of proof is required (a sex tape? A voicemail? Dirty pictures?), or what her contract would entail—but then again, Vivid probably doesn't either. Who needs a well thought out business plan when you can get tons of publicity off some half-baked porn contract promise you'll never have to follow up on?

As it is with all sex tape stars and starlets, it's important to remember that there's more to Shauna Sand than the scandal surrounding her personal porno. Between modeling, acting, and designing she somehow finds time to be a mother. Even when life gets messy (and, as you will read, it really does), she takes everything one step at a time. As you click through this phone interview with a gallery of sex tape stills, you'll discover that Shauna is a multi-faceted woman (you might even like her, we do).

Fleshbot: What have you been up to recently? Any new projects in the works?
Shauna Sand: I was in Paris for a while. And I did a TV show there because I speak French. And I did a magazine cover. So that was really a lot of fun for me. And I'm going to start filming…a reality show for Germany called Red. And I'm appearing on Leave It To Lamas, which is on the E channel, and that should be airing this week or next week.

What first got you interested in nude modeling?
Well, you know, I've lived in Europe, and you go to the beach a lot without a top; I was always very comfortable with my body. When I was 19, my friend worked at Playboy out in Mexico and he offered me to do the cover… I was a student in France, and my mom said if I ever did that she would disown me, so, you know, I didn't do it, but I wanted to. And when I graduated from school in Paris, then I went back to San Diego to film Renegade, that's where I met Lorenzo [Lamas], my second husband, and I told him that I wanted to do Playboy…. He said, "Don't do Playboy Mexico," because he was friends with an editor of Playboy America, and that would be a better magazine for me to be in…. I sent them like a composite of what I looked like with makeup and a different variety of looks, and then what I look like at five in the morning, naked, with no makeup, crawling out of bed.… So they showed them to Hef, and he just went crazy and I shot right away, my centerfold, and I did a bunch of videos. And I worked with them for a while.

Speaking of videos (poor segue, I apologize), you mentioned in an interview with TMZ that you had made several sex tapes with your boyfriend. Is it something you regularly do?
When I said videos I was referring to Playboy videos that I did...for Playboy TV. As far as um…other videos, like sex tapes, I do have a few. I locked them up in a safety deposit box because I don't want them getting out, but my third husband who's a complete psychopath has a few that he better not release or he's gonna have a big problem.

We'll definitely give him the word. How do you feel about porn in general? Do you watch any?
Not really. I don't. I've watched very little porn in my life. I think it's more of the perverted boyfriends and husbands that I've had that wanted to shoot me, you know? It's not really something that I do on a regular basis. Although, I like making them, I have a lot of fun.

One of the most popular stills from your tape is of you, dripping with ice cream. I'm sure a lot of us are wondering: what's your favorite ice cream?
Haagen Daas, my favorite! It's melted. I ordered it and I went down to the bar to get some wine and I came back and it was melted. My boyfriend was tired and he wanted to go to sleep, so I had to wake him up. It was a big sticky mess though.

Do you often combine food with sex?
It's not something I do on a regular basis, and I'll only do it if it's in a hotel because it's a big mess, gets all over the sheets; it's a disaster. I mean, I'll do anything, but it's not something I do on a regular basis. It was worth it but it's better if someone else cleans up the next day. I did do that once [before] with an ex-fiancée. We decided to order strawberries with whipped cream and a lot of chocolate, melted chocolate. It was the biggest mess you've ever seen, but it was in a hotel so it was ok. I highly recommend only doing that in a hotel. It was all over the towels, the bathroom, the walls; it was like… I don't think they were very happy with me after that. I think I've been banned from that hotel.

What, to you, makes someone "sexy?"
I've had a thing with French people. I've been married to two of them, and then this guy in the tape I've been with-he's not my boyfriend anymore-for six months. I think it's, like, accents-I only speak French to them so it doesn't really make sense. But I think that they just have something that's very sexy and charismatic about them. Italian people as well.

These days, a lot of celebrities have been making sex tapes and releasing them to the public. When you were making this tape, did you ever imagine that other people would be seeing these private moments?
No. Absolutely not. And when I found that it had been stolen and stuff I really went into shock. I was pretty upset for a week. But then I realized that I should accept it and see it as something positive because it is a beautiful tape. I made it with somebody I really loved and we were having probably one of the best times that I had in my life. So I thought I would take control of the movie. I did the editing, I put the music in, I chose the scenes that I thought were the sexiest-I mean, there's still some stuff that was raunchier, but I thought that we were having a lot of fun and really enjoying each other. I had to subtitle it as well because the majority of it is in French, so I sat there for like 40 hours subtitling it. I was in the editing room for four days, ten hours a day…. When I was done editing it I watched the whole thing in its entirety to make sure that it flowed and everything was perfect, and then I realized: everybody's going to be seeing this. And then I got really freaked out, and then I went to a bar and had a drink. But now I've accepted it.

Do you plan on making more home videos?
I never know what I'm going to do in the future. I'm not planning on it, I wasn't planning on getting into the porn industry, but hey, who knows? You know?

If you had a personal motto, what would it be?
Stay positive in life, and enjoy every moment to the fullest.

Fortunate, s3py at Nudography is one of the people was dying to see "Shauna Sand Exposed." And he saw it! And reviewed it! And as a result, people who care about this sex tape get to read about it, and we get to continue not watching it. And everybody wins! (Even Shauna Sand, who's definitely gotten the requisite publicity from this.)

When you think about the kinds of villains that show used to have (The Clock King, The Black Widow, Nora Clavicle, someone named Fingers), it's kind of surprising how un-sexual the original show was. Though we're reluctant to admit it, maybe this is one parody that was meant to happen. Anyhow, we have the cast list, so only one question remains: how does the porny compare to the corny?

Yes, it's true: we've received word that Hanna has retired from the hardcore scene. Though she's still under contract with Vivid, she's "on leave" and may never return to porn. We'd be lying if we said we weren't saddened by the news—but at least we'll always have the memories, right?

No need to drum up all this scandal and drama about your "stolen" sex tape. If you'd just admitted that hey, you like doing it, and you think the rest of the world should watch you in action, we wouldn't think any less of you. In fact, we'd probably think more of you for having the guts to stand up and say, "Hey world, I like banging! On camera, even!"

Previously: Shauna Sand in Fight with Vivid Over Sex Tape

Well, I considered it. So many of our nation's finest porn performers are innocent victims of their company's P.R. machines, and the person I talked with earlier this year seemed like she'd be a little embarrassed by being called The World's Smartest Porn Star. So I didn't want to watch a movie where suddenly a grown woman was talking with the vocal fry of an overmodulated Britney Spears and awkwardly sticking her finger in her mouth.

Luckily this doesn't happen in Vivid's "A.J. Bailey Experiment." Instead, the dangerously tall and unassuming Bailey patiently explains to us that what we are about to see is her first boy/girl scene and after it's done, naked, she explains to us how she felt about it.

There seems to be no posturing whatsoever, and as such the scene with Alex Gonz is much more accessible and real, such as that goes, than most other porn scenes (not saying that the veterans-by-comparison Lexi Belle, Phoenix Marie, and Kagney Linn Karter aren't delightful to watch in all their practiced moves, but it's fun to watch Bailey being surprised).

Watch Bailey get cock-slapped in the boob by Evan Stone! See her ogle the lush Phoenix Marie as the latter is railed by Billy Glide! Imagine being those lucky downtown L.A. warehouse walls as they supported the sweaty strivings of four blondes in two days!

The "World's Smartest" label backfires because it does both Bailey and every other performer a disservice. And how do you prove that, anyway? It is not in evidence in her scene, thank God, where spooling through her declensions would be pretty unsexy.

We would be happy to contextualize Bailey as a striking blonde from Missouri who is taller than Kagney Linn Karter.

Put us down for three copies, please—one for home, one for work, and one for our vacation palace. We have a feeling we'll be getting a lot of use out of this release...

· Hot girls, fights, puffy nipples, and Kim Kane's bush. Day Six! (xcritic.com)

In this upcoming dvd, AJ Bailey, the "only Vivid girl to hold a master's degree," performs her first on camera boy/girl and boy/boy/girl scenes ever. Despite the fact that everyone likes to talk about how smart she is, AJ herself stated, "I don't want fans to think of my brains when they see me in a sex scene." You can check out the trailer on Vivid's site. We don't know about you, but her fancy anthropology degree isn't very high on the list of things we'll be thinking about as we eagerly await the August 27th release date for this flick.

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.).

If not for Tristan, we might never have seen Penny Flame's submissive side; now, in the upcoming "Rough Sex," Tristan has persuaded Sasha Grey to bring out her dominant side in front of the camera. A switch in real life, Sasha's primarily played the sub on film; "Rough Sex" showcases a switch scene, in which we get to see Sasha, ahem, from both sides now.

You know, we thought our crush on Sasha had reached maximum capacity, but learning that we could get her to tie us up? Well, that's just about put us on overload.

Keep an eye out for "Batman XXX: a Porn Parody," "The Addams Family XXX: a Porn Parody," "Zorro XXX: a Porn Parody," and "The Green Hornet XXX: a Porn Parody."

Yes, even The Green Hornet.

Porn press releases usually need to be sifted through for their lone kernel of news or truth, so when we read that 28-year-old Bailey had a master's degree we took it in a salinated dollop, the way we tolerate statements like "This is my last messageboard post ever, you haters," "I appeared in tranny movies because it's punk rock," and "I've been working on my paintings."

But Bailey is the real deal. Formerly a solo model and girls-only performer (one of her final pre-Vivid movies is Michael Ninn's upcoming "Nymphetamine 3"), the tall cool blonde performed her first onscreen boy/girl scene ("Man/Woman sounds like Tarzan") for Vivid's "The AJ Bailey Experiment."

Fleshbot: But you're an anthropologist...

Bailey: Before Vivid I had done some modeling, but only in the Adult world. I was very drawn to the industry through being a fan in my personal life, and thought that I may have what it takes. I initially became involved in the business to assist in funding my graduate degree overseas (she went to Scotland's University of St. Andrews). The modeling I had done previously was in LA, as it's the epicenter of the industry, and truthfully, I missed the glamour of it all when I left.

FB: Growing up in the St. Louis area and living in L.A. share many attributes, though I can't think of any right now.

Bailey: I waited tables for years and the customer service in L.A. is terrible. You would think it is your honor to be waited on by your distracted would-be-actor server. It's terrible. The traffic isn't so different, just that the distances are farther. It seems to take an hour to get everywhere in L.A., as opposed to 20 minutes (with no traffic) in St Louis.

FB: The anthropologists I know are lusty, hearty folk, full of keen insights and happy hour beer from university-adjacent bars. But they don't make a lot of money. You've said that porn is a good option in tough economic times. But if money wasn't an object ... ?

Bailey: If I got the "dream job" in my field, I would be back doing what I did as an intern in Scotland, only getting paid for it. I would love to be a conservator or collections manager for a historical organization. I prefer historic houses or manor homes or castles to the bureaucracy of a museum. I love museums as well though...don't get me wrong!

FB: That's good, because we're really hoping this here NEA grant is going to get the Fleshbot West Museum of the American MILF off the ground. AJ Bailey, will you date us?

Bailey: I don't think that porn and dating mix actually. Everyone wants to fuck you...and that's it. That tends to be the plight of the hot chick anyway, but of course it's worse when someone knows what you do for a living. Everyone wants something from you in LA....but I think that's ok, because often I want something from them!

FB: How was your first boy/girl scene?

Bailey: My first scene was really sexy. It was just very natural and hot and fun and I came four or five times. I always get off for the camera. I like that people are watching me. Also, I hadn't gotten laid in what seems like ages..

FB: This is shameful. We wish you had called us. Now: tell us about dicks.

Bailey: I am surprised how much more I like doing guys on camera. I knew I would like it, but I was just worried that the dicks would be sooo big, or that I wouldn't have chemistry with my partners. However that is not the case.

FB: Are you saying -

Bailey: Well of course their dicks are enormous, but I love every minute of it.

Bailey reports that websites bearing her likeness and variations on her name have been poached, but that Vivid is working on getting them back. So we'll leave you with a link to Vivid, and will keep you informed of Bailey's comings (however any there are) and goings.

Now Vivid is getting in on the action, too, offering Carrie Prejean one million dollars to star in one of their films. Which really leaves just one question: should Carrie be offended that she's been offered the same amount of money as Octomom? (Oh, that and: Vivid, seriously, WTF?)
