Asia Carrera

Asia Carrera was born in 1973, August 6 in New York. She is one of the prettiest Amerasian porn queen. She is half-Oriental .Her father is Japanese and mother German.She was stripper. One of the best-paid in New Jersey, but she wanted to be richer.Asia Carrera has to be one of the most intriguing women of the adult movie industry. A member of the high-IQ organization MENSA, Asia ranks with the most intelligent and accomplished ladies to have ever appeared in X-rated films. She enlarged her breasts and turned up in more big-budget productions than most starlets appear in an entire career. Also she porn movies under the name Dow Jones. Now she runs her own homepage and spends her time chatting with fans via email or day trading shares at the stock exchange. She loves her fans. Asia answers : Siblings - 2 brothers, and a sister, all younger. My brother closest in age to me is also one of my best friends, and we're like the geek twins when we're together - we'll talk to each other by computer even when we're sitting in the same room!! Geeky Academic Stuff - NJ spelling champ, National Mathematics League, Spanish National Honor Society, placed in National Geography, Language Arts, and Mathematics Olympiads. Geeky Other Stuff - Played classical piano at Carnegie Hall at 13 & 14 (Ernesto Lecuona's 'Malaguena' and Bach's 13th Invention), taught Colloquial English at Tsuruga College in Japan at 16 Education - Attended performing arts high school (emphasis on instrumental music and visual arts), National Merit Scholarship Winner (for 1440 on SAT's), and Garden State Scholar (for nerdly grades). Attended Rutgers University on full academic scholarship, with a double-major in Business and Japanese. Most Overpublicized Fact - Yes, I am a member of Mensa, the society for high I.Q. nerds Measurements - 36C-26-36 (B-cup pre-boob-job), 5'8"1/2 (over 6 ft. in heels, always a surprise to fans) Plastic Surgery - Lots. I was a homely kid, I tell you! 2 nose jobs, (the first guy was a quack!) liposuction on my lower abdomen, & inner thighs, and my boob job. I've had my boobs redone twice since the initial surgery because of scar tissue buildup, and I expect that will be a recurring event in years to come. Although I don't regret my boobjob at all, I would strongly caution girls outside the pornstar/stripper industry to think twice before going under the knife. If you don't get naked for a living, all that pain and expense can be avoided by hiding a little extra padding inside your push-up bra instead!!! Hobbies and Interests - I haven't had much "free time" in years, and I pull all-nighters about twice a week just to stay on top of things, because my pornstar career and my buttkicking website are both fulltime jobs that I refuse to let anyone else handle for me. But whenever I can sneak some time to myself, I like honing my skills in Photoshop, upgrading and tweaking my computer hardware, and having friends over for 'Unreal Tournament' fragfests on my LAN. Marital Status - I've been happily married to nutritionist/fitness guru/writer/hunky studmuffin Don Lemmon since 12/19/03. We've got a baby girl named Catalina on the way, due March 5 2005! Before Don, I was married to XXX director Bud Lee for 8 years, from 9/95 to 9/03. Bud and I are still very close, and he'll always be my "daddy" who looks out for me - luckily Don picked up on that immediately, and very wisely invited Bud out to lunch before we even started dating! *happy sigh* I love it when everyone gets along, don't you? : ) Fave Food/Drink - Tasty snacks that I can eat at my computer, and anything microwavable. (I've always claimed I can't cook, so I won't get stuck slaving away over a hot stove. Whether that's the truth or not, I'll never tell!) My fridge is stocked with Snapple fruit drinks, and Mountain Dews for caffeine. I quit drinking alcohol several years ago, except for the occasional glass of wine with dinner. Career Status - I don't like to do more than one or two movies a month, but I also do magazine layouts and bookstore signings as well, and occasional work behind the camera (ie: direct/produce/grip/scriptwriting) whenever I have time. Because I'm EXTREMELY shy, I don't feature dance, and I avoid conventions and industry events whenever possible. Although I've already won AVN's "Performer of the Year", and "Best Sex Scene" awards, I still hope to snag a "Best Actress" trophy before retiring for good... My Idol - Warren Buffett! *sigh*... Warren is the legendary financial genius behind the most expensive stock in the world, Berkshire Hathaway. He was the richest man in America before Bill Whats-his-name and the Silicon Valley geeks took over, yet he's always remained a modest and down-to-earth kinda guy. For years, I invested only in mutual funds, but finally I gathered the courage to buy some baby Berkshire shares - just in time for the lousiest returns in their 30-year history. Luckily my other idol, ace fund manager Garrett VanWagoner posted some stellar returns that more than made up for it! :) Needless to say, my parents and I butted heads. My father was born in Japan, and my mother was born in Germany. They were from the "old school", strong on discipline, and overachievers themselves, so they were in no way being hypocritical with their demands on me. (My dad went to Caltech on full academic scholarship for math and physics. He's the biggest nerd I know) I was grounded for every "B" I got, and beaten for getting anything lower than that. I was not allowed to socialize at all, or go to parties, because they said there'd be time for that after I got into a good college. Well, I did what any red-blooded American kid would do, I'd sneak out. And get caught. And get beaten. And get grounded again. Without launching into too much detail, let's just say I was unhappy. (I tried to kill myself a lot) (Asian kids everywhere have e-mailed me to verify that this is standard practice in Asian households - what a relief to find out I'm normal, huh!) Shortly before my seventeenth birthday, I ran away from home. I stayed where I could, with a rock'n'roll band, with friends, with strangers, in hotels, at one point in a tent. I worked when I could, but I couldn't do much at seventeen, so I had no money. I had friends drive me to school every day, and I begged people to bring me Doritos so I'd have something to eat. Everything I owned fit in two garbage bags. Sometimes I fucked people I didn't want to, so I could have a place to sleep, or a good meal. I gritted my teeth a lot, and did what I had to, rather than crawl back home and grovel for my folks' forgiveness. Eventually the State found out I was living on my own, and I got put in a foster home. My foster parents were as strict as my own parents, and I still was not allowed to date or socialize. This was twice as difficult for me to handle, after having had a taste of freedom, but I stayed until I finished high school. I ran away from my foster home on my eighteenth birthday, knowing I only had to fend for myself until the fall, when I was going to Rutgers on my full academic scholarship. I hitchhiked off with my two garbage bags of stuff, and did what I could to not starve until school started. So I confess, I went to college not for an education, but for the promise of a hot meal and a free bed while I plotted ways to become wealthy, so I wouldn't have to go begging or fucking any more strangers for lousy scraps of charity. Four years of college is a goal I'd like to finish attaining one day, but for a runaway who lost 15 pounds without enough food to eat, getting money in the bank immediately was my priority. I got a job as a bartender, and wished I had the guts to become a stripper 'cause I heard they made lots of money. One day the owner of the bar asked me if I would serve drinks topless at a private party for $100. Wow, a hundred bucks was a lot of dough for me, so I said sure. I drank a lot of vodka to screw up my courage. Next thing you knew, I was on the bar with some strippers he'd hired, and I was collecting tips like crazy. I came home with $300 bucks, and was amazed. I'd never made that much money in my life! The next day I took a bottle of vodka and got myself hired at all the local go-go bars. I then proceeded to work seven nights a week, and I saved a minimum of $1000 every week, and sent it off to various mutual funds. (ever hear of someone who still has the first dollar they ever made? That would be me!) I obviously stopped attending classes, only going in to take finals. As one of the highest paid dancers in NJ, I searched for a way to get paid even more money dancing. I discovered that girls who made movies or magazines got paid more than regular 'house girls' like me. I went to the local 7-11, bought all the men's magazines, and sent pictures of myself to the little addresses inside the first couple pages. Club magazine responded, and sent me to a photographer in NY, who proceeded to shoot me for most of the major men's mags. I asked him about making adult movies, and he gave me the number of a director in LA named Bud Lee. I called this Bud guy, and he told me if I flew to LA, he could use me in a movie or two. So during winter break '93, I flew out to LA with just a suitcase and a teddy bear. I found that I liked making movies, then I married that Bud Lee guy, and the rest, as they say, is history. I know some of you still think I'm "settling for less than I could achieve" in life, but all I can say is this: I'm happier than I've ever been in my life, and I don't consider that "settling" at all! I have a fun job that provides me with the time and money to do all the things I love, like playing piano, drawing, writing, and working on my web site! I've slowly lost the hard edge and the "fuck-the-world" attitude I had as a runaway, and gained a love for life that I never had before. I save and invest for the future, and I'm going to finish my degree at my leisure. After I'm done with adult, I'll be a mom, or a stock analyst, or knowing me, probably both. And when I die, I'm leaving behind a trust fund to provide help and shelter for abused and homeless children, so a little piece of me will live forever!
