Janie Summers: The Naked Girl Next Door

In the lexicon of porn archetypes, Digital Playground's Janie Summers falls pretty comfortably into the category of "girl next door." She's a former cheerleader, currently resides in Ohio (and loves the Cleveland Cavaliers)—and, well, just look at her!

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.
