For some reason I can’t fathom, African American females are less respected within the adult industry. They aren’t seen as the draw that their Caucasian counterparts are and that can affect how much they get paid. For an African American female performer to battle through the beginning of her career when things are the toughest and eventually become one of the biggest stars in the industry is rare. Not many have done in but Misty Stone has. The petite California hottie has become a staple in the adult industry with her adorable looks, bubbly personality, and passion for her work. In short, Misty Stone has reached legendary status. Mens Mag Daily was able to sit down with Misty Stone to discuss the trial and tribulations she faced as an African American female performer, her longevity in the business, and how the adult industry has made her a better businesswoman.
Mens Mag Daily: Misty, you’ve been around for a while, how long have you been in the industry?
Misty Stone: I have been in the industry for over 8 years now.
Mens Mag Daily: And how did you find your way into the business?
Misty Stone: I used to be a stripper. My cousin and I would take a bunch of girl to different state to these hole in the wall places and we would rack up so much money. We just looked so different from the girls these guys typically saw and I think that’s why we did so well. My cousin is very voluptuous and she was doing a lot of magazine work and promotional stuff for rappers and stuff like that. She told me about how well she was doing and how much money she making. I had left California but she pumped it up so much to me that I decided to go back. It didn’t work out for me as well as it did for her. I couldn’t do what she was doing in terms of the big booty magazines and all that because I’m very petite. She was also doing adult so I ended up falling into it as well and that was what ended up working for me. I brought her into stripping and she brought me into porn.
Mens Mag Daily: What was it like when you first got in? Was it what you expected?
Misty Stone: I don’t know what I expected. I didn’t have big expectations. I was on a small scale. It was probably more than I expected. I loved it. It was so lucrative. I found out that once you built a name for yourself there was a lot you could do like feature dancing, appearances, signing autographs, and stuff like that. I just keep learning more the more time I spend in the business. I’m learning how to be a businesswoman and at this point I want to be behind the camera instead of in front of it.
Mens Mag Daily: That’s very cool; do you have plans to start your own company?
Misty Stone: I actually did already. I started Misty Stone productions with some people and it didn’t really work out. I’m going through some legal issues with that but it will be back. It was a great website, it was just so perfect. It was the cutest website ever but sometimes things don’t work out. I can’t wait to get it started back up again.
Mens Mag Daily: Being that you’ve been in the industry so long, I want to ask you an honest question. Has porn made you rich?
Misty Stone: No, I wouldn’t say it’s made me rich but I live a very comfortable lifestyle. If I didn’t want to work for a while I could do that because I have checks coming from other things I’m involved in like Fleshlight. I’m the only ethnic Fleshlight girl so thank you to them. If I wanted to be lazy I could. I wouldn’t say that I’m rich though.
Mens Mag Daily: So you get royalties from your Fleshlight?
Misty Stone: Yes I do, absolutely. I get a big percentage of every one that’s sold. A lot of them have been sold.
Mens Mag Daily: Is it true that black girls get treated differently than white girls in the adult industry?
Misty Stone: Oh yes, absolutely. I would say that pay was very different. When I first started I wasn’t getting paid was what I was supposed to get. Right now, I’m probably the highest paid African American performer in this industry. It took me eight years though and some fresh faced girl can come into the industry and get my rate. We have to work ten times harder and smile ten times wider in order to be noticed. There’s no room for mistakes. If you want to be a star you have to shine ten times brighter. It’s funny because if a white girl comes into the industry and does interracial with a male her rate actually goes down. If I would have known back then I would have demanded more money. I didn’t know any better. There was nobody to educate me so that’s why I try to mentor some of these new girls and give them some guidance. It’s nice to have that.
Mens Mag Daily: Here’s something else I’m curious about, what type of guys do you date in real life?
Misty Stone: I just got out of a 5 year relationship. It was an on and off type of thing. Right now I’m into foreign men like Spanish and French. I like them because they’re very passionate. I also deal with a couple of guys in the industry, not dating them but you know. The reason why I’ll deal with them is because it’s comfortable, I know them, you know. I’m also very clean and OCD and I know where they’ve been and what they’re doing so I feel safe.
Mens Mag Daily: What about girls? Do you mess around with girls in your personal life?
Misty Stone: I don’t have like girlfriends but if we’re out drinking and having a great time then it could happen. I love redheads. I also loved dark haired girl with light eyes.
Mens Mag Daily: You live in Cali, have you dated any celebrities?
Misty Stone: I don’t know if you’d call it dating but sure.
Mens Mag Daily: Are we talking A list celebrities?
Misty Stone: Oh, we’re talking legends. You would be very surprised.
Mens Mag Daily: Okay let me ask you some questions to get a feel of what you’re like in everyday life.
Misty Stone: Okay, let’s do it.
Mens Mag Daily: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
Misty Stone: I have three of them. One of them is Gone in 60 Seconds, that’s my shit. I love the driving, the action, and Angelina Jolie with dreadlocks. Number two is Blue Streak, it’s hilarious. My third favorite is It’s All About The Benjamins.
Mens Mag Daily: What about music, what are you into?
Misty Stone: I’m very much into reggae music. I love feel good music that keep you in a happy place. I also love my Cali music like Nate Dogg.
Mens Mag Daily: What’s the best food in Cali?
