I had been impressed by a scene I reviewed with Blake Blossom, so I jumped at the chance to interview her. She was getting ready to leave the L.A. area so I made last-minute arrangements to meet her at a well-known Hollywood venue and we talked in an unused showroom.

Tod Hunter: Let me start with the very first question, the easiest one I've got: Spell your name.

Blake Blossom: B-L-A-K-E, space, B-L-O-S-S-O-M. Exclamation point. [Giggle]

Tod Hunter: Good, now I have it directly from you. When you look it up God knows what you'll find.

Blake Blossom: Yeah, I get called all types of weird names. Blair, Bush...

Tod Hunter: "Hey, you..."

How long have you been doing this?

Blake Blossom: It'll be two years March 26th, so I'm coming up on a two-year anniversary.

Tod Hunter: You kept track of the date.

Blake Blossom: I did, yeah. It's a little special for me because the guy I did my first scene with, Jake Adams, he died last year. I always remember it.

Tod Hunter: I can see that. "I outlived the first person I did a scene with." What was the scene?

Blake Blossom: It was for Exploited College Girls and they actually turned it into a two-parter, because, I guess, I was very frivolous. They came to my house, and my mom was like, "Bye...." She sent me off. He picks me up in a Porsche and I was like "Oh my God, this is my first time in a Porsche" and we did the first part of the scene in the car while we're driving, they had me like stick my head out the window, and then the second part was they recorded the makeup artist doing my hair and makeup, and then we did another scene in the hotel room. And then I FaceTimed my mom right before we started. I was like "Hey mom..."

Tod Hunter: "Look how pretty I am!"

Blake Blossom: She was like, "Okay... have fun..."

Tod Hunter: Are your parents okay with this?

Blake Blossom: My mom knows. My dad doesn't know. Still doesn't know.

Tod Hunter: I'll try and keep it on the QT. From what I saw on IAFD, you started at age 20. What were you doing before then?

Blake Blossom: I graduated high school when I was 17, I skipped second grade, so I had, like, an extra year to mess around [Chuckle] but I didn't start my nannying business until the end of 2017, December 2017, and then I was kind of doing nannying full time at that point. Before that I was working a job at a furniture store, I was a manager at GNC, I did truck shift at, like, a bunch of different stores. Even when I was a senior in high school I would work from 3:00 AM to 9:00 AM before my first class so I can get hours in, because after school I had too much to do.

Tod Hunter: A lot of extracurricular activities?

Blake Blossom: Yes, until senior year, and then I was like, "I want to work all the time" and then I got another job working at a country bar when I was 17 which was... I do not recommend you doing that. That was my first introduction into, like... creepy men. Really pushing limits.

Tod Hunter: That's why you stopped working there?

Blake Blossom: Yeah. The day after my 20th birthday I was in L.A. and my best friend — she does mainstream modeling, for ecommerce and print — so she was like "You need to do it" and I was at this really weird awkward time with the people I was nannying for: They wanted me to sign an NDA. I was like "I'm not signing an NDA," because there was a lot of drama and inner turmoil with their company that was going on. I was like "Peace out. I'm not staying with you guys." I decided "Okay, I'll make an OnlyFans" and that was February 5th, 2020. I have a fake birthday. My character's birthday is February 14. It's hard to be two people at once and stay safe. It's interesting when I choose to tell people my real name. but for the most part I just say Blake.

Tod Hunter: So you get started...

Blake Blossom: ...and then from the time I posted on OnlyFans it was about a month, so, the beginning of March. Some of my friends had found out I was doing OnlyFans but not all of them knew. I actually went on a trip with 13 guys before I did my first scene, the week before...

Tod Hunter: For practice?

Blake Blossom: Oh no no no. [Chuckle] I have never even done two guys before. I'm still very, like, vanilla. They were all my friends from high school and none of the other girls wanted to go because they were like [high-pitched whiny voice] "it's too far." I had a great time.

Tod Hunter: Where did you go?

Blake Blossom: We went to Newport Beach.

Tod Hunter: So it's not like you were going out to the woods or something.

Blake Blossom: Yeah, we were right on the beach. it was just really interesting because some of the guys knew, and by the end of the trip they all knew, and they were all super cool about it. None of them were weird. And then the next week I did my first scene.

Tod Hunter: You knew them before?

Blake Blossom: Yeah, since almost third grade, some of them.

Tod Hunter: So it was like a new piece of information about somebody they already knew.

Blake Blossom: Yeah but I had always had, you know, frivolous tendencies in high school, like I would date my friend, and then talk to another friend, so I don't think it was much surprise to them. But I have an inner circle of friends who I have known since the third, fifth grade. They know my real name.

But there's been some weird things going on, like a really good [performer] friend of mine was on a plane back to Arizona from, I think, LAX, and it just so happens she sits next down to this kind of cute guy, kind of her age, she's a year younger than me. They end up talking and she tells him, like, what she does, and he goes "Oh yeah, I actually know this guy who went to school with one. Her name is [real name] but her stage name is Blake Blossom." This random guy knew my whole name, tells my friend on the plane. I was like "Oh no. This is really creepy." That was the start of realizing that the search to the real person I am had started.

It's very interesting what people try to find out: my real name, if I have family members and if I have kids. People always ask and I'm like, "No. No kids, no. One brother, never married, never been preg, nope."

Tod Hunter: When did your career start to take off? When did you go from "another girl" to "star"?

Blake Blossom: I purposely planned out my first year. I knew exactly, like, what I wanted to do, talking to my agent before I even signed the paper. The contract, per se. When I got introduced to Ryan I was like, "Look, man, I want to talk to you, and I'm gonna ask you every question, until you don't have an answer. But I expect you to have an answer to every single one of my questions." I bothered him for three days in a row. I went over to his house he was saying at and asked him every question I could think of. I was like "I have a plan. I want awards and I want to be on DVDs. I'm not doing this for fun." I said this in another interview: I'm basically throwing away my entire life previous to this so I might as well make it really good, and really try. It was my choice to go into it. I dropped out of college, like, two months before: "I'm gonna make an OnlyFans." I was on a really strong track to becoming a lawyer and get stuff done, and to have my nannying business.

Tod Hunter: Your nanny business? Were you a manager of nannies?

Blake Blossom: No, I was basically a traveling nanny, so I would go and travel with different families. What really sent me over the edge was in January we went to New Mexico for, like, 27 days, and it was snowing, and me being from Arizona I don't have snow clothes, I didn't pack any snow clothes for the baby. So what do we do? We sat inside for 27 days. I literally watched all the Scooby-Doo movies with her. I think we watched the entire Netflix catalog.

Tod Hunter: How old was the kid?

Blake Blossom: She was two.

Tod Hunter: So you can watch them over and over then.

Blake Blossom: Exactly. Coco. You know how many times I watched Coco? Like a hundred times.

Tod Hunter: So you were talking to the agent...

Blake Blossom: Yeah, I wanted to really make sure, so I said "I know there's certain things that I want to do," because it's just me, personally. I did an intro video that was similar to Elle Woods in Legally Blonde where she's like "This is why I should be in law school" and I and I did something similar where I was like "Hi, my name is Blake and I'm new and bla-bla-bla-bla-bla." I did this 45-second video ending with "Contact Ryan at Hussie," you know, like a literal promo video for myself. It got a bunch of retweets, and then that was when all of the companies started catching on that I knew to do a video. I was like, I'm going to do this and I think it'll be so funny, if I kind of make it funny. I think that got a lot of people's attention initially. From there, I guess I'm very careful about when I want to do things and when things are going to be released. When companies are asking to book me, you know, before holidays, I'm like, "I want the holiday scene and I want a really good partner for this holiday scene. I don't just want a filler scene." If we're negotiating, I'm like "Okay so I'm going to be on this DVD we'll make. Am I gonna be on the cover? I don't want to do it if I'm not on the cover." Some people don't even ask. I've gotten into the habit of asking. I ask for promo stuff.

I'm very restrictive on the content that I do. I only did stepsister stuff for something like six months, and I was like "I'm done. Done." My brother is 18, so it was just... The last one I ever did is on PornHub. I just looked and it's had like 64 million views and it's literally the most disturbing scene ever. It's creepy. I'm the older sister. Initially they wanted us to be Mormon and I grew up around like 90 percent Mormon people so I was like "Oh hell no. No no no no no." I'm not gonna dive into the religion thing 'cause I'm going to get hate on that and then the Mormon church is gonna turn death threats, so no. And they wanted us to read directly out of the Bible and I was like "You guys have lost your minds." But the owner of Nubiles wrote that script so it was, like, mandatory that we needed to do this. I remember saying "Dude, my brother, my real brother, has this actual backpack. Can we please get a different backpack?" No, this is the only backpack we have, bla-bla-bla-bla-bla and I'm just like "Oh my God, this is, like, too real. Too. Real." I never did another one after that. I said "You know, I'm done." I went home and, like, was catatonic for like three hours and just hysterically crying.

Tod Hunter: It took it out of you.

Blake Blossom: It was so disgusting. Yeah. I mean if you watch it it's only like a 12 minute version.

Tod Hunter: I probably won't, now.

Blake Blossom: If you just listen to the dialogue, you don't even have to watch the video. Basically I catch him fapping and I'm like "You should not do this, like God is telling you..." It was supposed to be very very much like that but I like to do funny scenes I'd like to really project like that happy-go-lucky/I'm excited to be here/she's very enthusiastic and wants to do that. This scene was like way different because I had to be serious...

Tod Hunter: And seductive and weird.

Blake Blossom: Not even seductive. It was just like he was tricking me into having sex with me. I was like "Never again." Since then I ran into multiple problems with directors trying to make me do scripts I don't want to do. I don't escort personally. A lot of the scripts are like Tonight's Girlfriend and different websites are specifically set up as if you are a hooker, or you're yourself but there's a money transaction.

Tod Hunter: So you won’t even play a hooker.

Blake Blossom: Nope. Nope. I don't want to do that. Absolutely no money on camera. I got really weird about stealing. They wanted me to go through this guy's bag and steal money and then him catch me. I was like, "Dude, I'm not doing that. Absolutely not. Because people are gonna think that's actually what I do." People believe these scripts so vividly, and they truly think that's my sister, that's my brother, that's my mom, that's my dad. Surprisingly, I still get work even though I've removed a lot of that junk. I'm like "You know what, give that to the 18 or 19 year old who's just fresh and let her do it. Let her experience that and let her figure it out." But some people don't care. Some people are like "I'm an only child. Doesn't matter to me."

Tod Hunter: Do you have any acting background?

Blake Blossom: Not really. I did a play when I was a sophomore and my drama teacher made me do like a cockney accent for Tiger Lily in Peter Pan and I was like "What?" That was kind of, like, weird.

Tod Hunter: A cockney accent for Tiger Lily? A Native American talking like Eliza Doolittle?

Blake Blossom: I had to audition and I'd never done that before but I wanted to try everything in high school. I still have, like, a lot of secondhand embarrassment. I get really embarrassed in a lot of situations so if someone is sitting here [in this showroom], like playing an instrument or singing, I get embarrassed. I don't know why. I'm just like "Please stop." I don't really have that much of an acting background. Just that one play.

Tod Hunter: The reason I asked is I was I was going through some of the stuff of yours I had seen and I wrote the review of a hotwife scene you had done with Ramon Nomar for New Sensations and I saw the image of the young woman discovering her sexuality and I'm thinking "Okay she's a performer. This is not reality. She's playing this," and you were playing it really well and I was wondering if you had a background in acting.

Blake Blossom: I don't know what it is but I think it's harder for me to do more serious stuff because I just want to laugh, and because the situation is like I'm naked or I'm covered with whatever or I'm in like a weird position, and they wanted me to say this dramatic impactful line and I don't want to say that, you know? I wanted to be funny and that's why I think I like to specifically call out Brazzers. I really like Brazzers scenes because it's so over the top but it's so funny.

The New Sensations one, that was an interesting day. I didn't like the makeup for that one specifically: I felt that I looked really really young. I'm used to doing my eyebrows darker, you know, a little bit more lashes.

Tod Hunter: You do have kind of a mature look.

Blake Blossom: They really tried to make me look younger so it was interesting that it was for a hotwife scene — but I was supposed to be a young wife. Ramon is cool. He's really easy to work with. I've done a different scene with Ramon that was way funnier and I loved that scene way more. It was for girlsrimming.com.

Tod Hunter: So I don’t have to ask what you did.

Blake Blossom: No. [Chuckle] He was playing this guru that was supposed to swindle me and I'm like "Oh yeah, let's align my chakras." I guess I relate to it more because I want to make people laugh all the time and I think my expressions lean towards the more comical side, but it was so funny because he like turns around he's like "Namaste" and I'm like "Nomma stay, nomma stay. Can I help you? Where's your shoes? Why don't you have shoes?" and he's like "It grounds me to the floor" I was like "Oh yeah, for sure." A lot of the stuff I do is completely ad-libbed, I'd say probably 90 percent of the VR stuff I do is his adlib.

Tod Hunter: Who do you like to work with?

Blake Blossom: It depends. It depends. It really depends. When I'm doing a VR scene, the VR setup is a completely different filming style. It's similar to filming POV, so if it's just a guy doing POV, he's holding the camera, but in VR there's this special weighted thing brings the camera down over the guy's eyes and it has a 220-degree vision. He can't move, he can't talk, so it's really hard to find a male talent.

Blake Blossom: Derrick Pierce told me some terrible stories about that. He said you can't move, you can't react, you can't touch the girl. It's kind of tough.

Blake Blossom: Interesting. I worked with Derrick. He's just a little too, like, Dom. I was just like, "Okay, calm down, sir." For the male talent in that position I get really really annoyed when it's a new person. It's not that I take it personally, and in VR situations if they can't keep that erection I don't take it personally because I know it's very uncomfortable in a lot of positions. But even when you have a strong male talent, if I have another girl, or even two girls with me, it turns into like almost this competition of like who-looks-better and who-has-bigger-boobs and so sometimes there's, like, some animosity before we even start. I just did a scene for Naughty America: me, Jazlyn Ray, and this other girl Delilah Day, and Delilah felt lesser-than because she didn't have boobs and she was thinner. I was like "Girl, sometimes I feel like the odd one out because I'm not as thin as you guys," you know, because I don't fit. That dude [Sam Shock], that dude was really really fun but the animosity before that really hindered the confidence for some people in that scene.

It's interesting who they pair me up with because I'm very strong with the camera. I can sit there and come up with things to say. Give me 20 minutes and I can give you what you want, whereas some other people they run out of things to say, or they're too worried about the distance right here, or they're worried about where their arm is or if their position's right and then they don't say anything for six minutes and it's like — okay, the viewer is watching this for six minutes and hears nothing but [panting]. Uncomfortable. No one wants to listen to that.

Tod Hunter: To get back: Is there anybody you like working with?

Blake Blossom: Angela White. She's pretty awesome. April Olsen's awesome, she's with Spiegler. I like Jazlyn Ray. She's awesome, she's newer. I guess I like a lot of people. There's only there's a very short list of people I don't like.

Tod Hunter: I reviewed a three-way scene you did with Angela and somebody for Angela Loves Threesomes 3...

Blake Blossom: That was with Mick Blue. I haven't worked with him since, I think, then. He doesn't talk very much. Sometimes people don't want to talk and I'm like, "Okay, I'll just sit over here and just watch you."

Tod Hunter: What was it like winning Best New Starlet?

Blake Blossom: I had an inkling that I was going to get it because I saw the other people that were up for it — I've been on panels where I pick people and it's it usually comes down to "What are they searching for? Is there a list of things they're searching for?" I was like, "Okay, they're probably going to look at how many scenes, what companies, how many scenes on specific companies." I feel like there's little milestones like when you get a Vixen or a Blacked shoot, that's awesome. When you get a Brazzers scene, that's awesome. When you start doing VR, that's awesome. I feel like I have done almost every single website — I'm getting close to it I think, or at least on every platform I have a video.

My fans are really interactive, not that social media means everything but you can kind of gauge how popular someone is and how interactive someone's fans are by their Twitter following, specifically. If you invest a lot of time into your Twitter, and your fans really like your stuff, and you're very careful with what you put out, those are the people that are gonna vote for you. That's why I won the hottest new star or hottest newcomer: that was a fan award. I think every day I was retweeting and I said "I'll give you discount on my OnlyFans if you vote, send me a screenshot." They're very interactive and they were very happy to do it: it wasn't like there was too much bribery behind it, it was like they genuinely wanted to vote for me. I don't know what the editors look for. I think I have more scenes than anyone else so maybe that's what it is.

The scenes that get reviewed, sometimes I wish it was other scenes that got more attention. I was really surprised that the New Sensations won. I was surprised I was even on the cover of that DVD. I did not expect that at all.

Tod Hunter: You look good on it. They made you up to look young and they put you on the cover.

Blake Blossom: Pretty much.

Tod Hunter: You were talking about people knowing your real name. Where does fan service go overboard? At what point do you say to yourself "No, I can't do that"?

Blake Blossom: I'm very limited on what I do through my platform, so I don't do any dick ratings, I don't do customs, I rarely do calls or Skype videos. Sometimes I'll go on different platforms and go live. I started doing these things called Spaces on Twitter where it's just your voice. It's almost like a podcast where people can come and join and you can see all the people in your space and you can add different people in to talk. So I can say "Does anyone like have any questions or anything they want to talk about?" I started doing that, but then they started getting like really really creepy with the questions. I don't talk about anything that happened when I was under 18, t's just not tasteful, in my opinion. I don't think it's appropriate to talk about people 13 through 16, you know, doing stuff. I get a lot of requests for anal, I think that's the thing I get pressured on most: "Why don't you do it? Why don't you do it?" Because I don't want to. Because the money is not right right now. I make up all different types of answers.

I guess I'm more open about certain things. I've been open about like talking about antidepressants and other shit like that, and drinking and smoking, some people completely hide it but once it gets to just that extra level of creepy... What I've noticed recently a lot of people are doing like almost like a confession like "Oh my God, Blake, I have something to tell you..." and I'm like "Oh my God, baby, hey, what's going on?" and they're like "I love how you" — for example, this is just an example of one that I got the other day — "I love that you love Black dick so much, I can tell that you like Black men more," and it's like the longest paragraph about his observation about how I view Black men, and why I work with a lot of Black men and I was like, "Look man, I don't really care, have a nice day." And I literally blocked him, refund him, get the fuck off my page. I don't want any weird shit like that. I don't want to even read that, because to me it almost puts like a complex in my mind like "Oh my God. Am I subconsciously doing something that's making people think something?"

Tod Hunter: And then you're second-guessing your bookings...

Blake Blossom: Yeah. There's this one group of people called Queen Of Spades, it's women who just only have sex with Black men and it's represented by like a black Ace of Spades. When I started getting a lot of people commenting with black spades, block block block block block. We don't do that. We don't fetishize anyone. We're equal. Not in this environment. Absolutely not.

I got asked to do a scene in 2020 where I was a police officer and they were going to get a Black guy for me to fuck and arrest. Pull him over. Whatever. "I'm sorry? George Floyd literally just died four months ago. Are you serious?" It's interesting how — what is it called — systemic racism or like the deep underlying racism in society like that triggers me so much. When people specifically ask about that, like I literally won't even. "Do you like Black dick more?" Block. Get off my page. Get off. Don't even. It's just so interesting, of all the things you want to say is anything along those racist lines or even talking about race. "Do you like Asian guys?" Sure, yeah. "Do you like white guys?" Sure, yeah, I like everyone, you know? But as soon as they start getting like, you know, that next level...

Tod Hunter: Do you have a master plan?

Blake Blossom: I have a five year plan, so I'm two years down on that. It was surprising that I did get Best New Starlet. I thought I wasn't even going to even get an award until maybe like fifth year. But I didn't realize that how COVID changed porn so much: I wasn't in it until the week before the shutdown, so I think my working a lot like in the beginning of COVID with the quarantine things that we were setting up, I think that helped too, because like no one had any videos out. Everyone's at home and then it's just like "Well, we got this new girl, throw her in there."

Tod Hunter: "Oh, she's good. Let me see what else she's got."

Blake Blossom: Yes. I think I had to prove myself eventually. I don't even know how I've gotten so many scenes so far. Not including my own, probably maybe like 300 I've done so far. it's like 300, and some people don't even have, like, 50. Where they get like one scene a month and I'm turning down scenes. I'm like, "No, I don't have time to do it, I can't, We gotta push it to April. We gotta push it to the summer or something."

Tod Hunter: If somebody reads this interview and says "Okay, she's cool, I want to check her out" — what scenes should they look for?

Blake Blossom: I would say anything on Brazzers, just because of the quality and the scenes are so funny on there. I know a lot of people don't like that, but there's a couple different Property Sex videos I have. I have a DogeCoin scene out where I'm selling a house for like 50 million DogeCoin and then the guy gets an NFT bill of sale and I'm like [singsong] "Congrats! We should celebrate!" That one's pretty funny. I did a tweet and tagged Elon Musk and all these NFT crypto people. It was "Hey you guys should watch my video." That one's funny. If you like POV, Mr. Lucky POV. His backgrounds are super-trippy. A lot of people like that.

I really like a lot of my VR scenes, I think they kind of set me apart from everyone else because I do have so many VR scenes, but they're really good.

I would say my number one scene partner that I personally do the best with is Jax Slayher. I have great chemistry with him and we can go like 50 minutes straight.

We did that for a Blacked Raw. I think that's probably the video I'm most proud of because literally there were no cuts. We just kept going and then it was like on the counter and over there. They had two cameras going the whole time so I don't know what they were doing but we just kept going. That one was awesome.

I have a couple scenes for Bang Bros that are that are just silly funny ones, where I, like, fuck the PA. My Bang Bus scene — the police actually came to mine. I was standing on the road, waiting for the bus to turn back around because they just dropped me off and this cop pulls up. I was like "Holy fuck no." [The cop] was like "We just got a call there was an underage girl" and I'm like "No, I'm an over-age girl." And the van pulled up and I was like "Yeah we're just filming some tube site stuff" and she looked in there and she was like "Okay" and they laughed and I was like "Oh my God."

I think my scene for Deeper was different because I got to Dom Troy Francisco and that sounds like a different style than I'm used to, but I really enjoyed it and she said that I did a really good job.

Tod Hunter: Is there anything else I should know about Blake?

Blake Blossom: I don't know. I guess I'm just going to try and expand my palette this year of different types of scenes. I feel like I'm always The Hot Girl, you know, like "Here's some girl and she's gonna fuck."

Tod Hunter: Yeah, well, you're stuck with that.

Blake Blossom: I just did this, actually, I think it comes out today so like I can tell you. I got cast as Spider-Gwen in the new Axel Braun movie Spidey Pool. It's going to be a DVD with like four scenes and I have one of the scenes! He's been keeping it secret this whole time. That one was really heavy on the acting and it was hard to do that type of acting because I was wearing the mask so you couldn't see my mouth. It was all, like, gestures and stuff like that. I can't wait for that one to come out. That one's gonna be great. I hope some nominations come from that.

Tod Hunter: I have some connections. I'll check it out.

Blake Blossom's Social Media:
