Absolute Mayhem: Confessions Of An Aussie Porn Star

Description

In her funny and disarmingly candid voice, Brisbane-born porn star Monica Mayhem reveals the ins and outs of making it big in Los Angeles, the pornography capital of the world. Just how did a girl who was taunted at school because her eyes were 'too big', and who carved out a respectable career for herself in the financial markets of Sydney and London, go on to make over 400 hardcore adult movies (and counting), win numerous industry awards and even land herself a role in the recent Sex and the City movie? Absolute Mayhem lifts the lid on the sex, rock and mayhem of Monica's truly extraordinary professional life - and unveils the private person behind it all.

MONICA MAYHEM is originally from Brisbane, Queensland, and moved when she was 16 to Sydney, where she began a career in financial markets. She quit finance to become an exotic dancer at the Spearmint Rhino club, transitioning to hardcore porn after moving to Los Angeles in December 2000. She has since won many adult-industry awards, including the XRCO Starlet of the Year 2001, FOXE Vixen of the Year 2002 and KSEX Hottest Radio Babe 2006. She has also been inducted into the Hall of Fame at the Erotic Museum in Las Vegas. Over-18s can visit her website at www.monicamayhem.com.
