Twenty Questions with Hardcore/Fetish Star Janie Blade

You Need Janie In Your Life

Gorgeous and totally kinky hardcore beauty Janie Blade is fucking fabulous and you absolutely need to watch her porno immediately. Get to know her here!

What were you like back in high school?  Who did you hang out with/date?

"High school? What's that?! LOL OMG, I was such a monster...I think they graduated me to get rid of me! At the age of 13, I declared I was bisexual and dated and banged as many people as possible. It was fun but also a disaster...I was made fun of a lot and had to fight, so I over compensated with a tough attitude and lifted a lot of weights. I grew up mostly in Atlantic City and South Philly where I ran away from home to promote raves and sell drugs. Home was very unstable so I mostly hung out with other ravers, punks, squatters, drag queens, whoever didn't fit in and was scraping by, really."

Were you a porn fan before you got into the industry?  Who were your favorite porn stars/favorite porn movies?

"I'd say I was more a fan of porn/SW people than a fan of porn before my industry work. I'm also a photographer and was mostly shooting dommes and escorts before I transitioned and didn't have it in me to be in front of the camera until I did. I had industry friends and was jealous of them! LOL  The only thing I really get off on watching is really intense strict bdsm, mostly bondage/restraint stuff. Kink is the company I always really wanted to work with and the type of content I enjoy watching. but I also really enjoy shooting more vanilla porn too. My fave porn stars have been Charlotte Sartre, Lance Hart, Pierce Paris, Aubrey Kate and Dani Daniels."

What kind of scene have you found is your favorite kind to do so far?

"My fave scenes to shoot are scenes where I bottom for really hot women or guys that I vibe with and if the energy is right whom I top viciously! LOL I think I'm really sensitive to people's energy and as long as we are vibing, I'm really excited to shoot most things. LIke, my fave scene to shoot might not be my favorite kink or situation in the grand scheme of things but if the energy was awesome and everyone had fun and profits, that's my fave scene I shot and it can be difficult to anticipate if that's going to happen so I guess I don't have a fav type of scene to shoot."

What/who do you want to do on-camera that you haven’t done yet?

"Charlotte Sartre, Aubrey Kate, Lance Hart, Pierce Paris, Casey Kisses....honestly, I'm such a spazz. I'll think of one later I missed and live in a state of regret for 20 minutes or so."

You respond to your fans a lot on Twitter.  What do you like most about talking to your fans on social media?

"I really enjoy trolling the time wasters or creeps on Twitter! LOL It's a cheap thrill but it's fun for me. Honestly, I really enjoy hearing from my fans. My content planning is very feedback driven. Talking to them helps me refine what I'm doing and also sometimes they have great stuff to say! Also I run the gamut of being really insecure at times to really confident and it's a nice way  to pick me up when I'm down or high five when things are well. I'm not  great with astrology but I'm some sort of mega Gemini! I require lots of attention. LOL"

How did you become a porn performer? What led you down that career path?

"I started camming, sext, phone sex, and shooting content a week before I started hormones and it went very well (to my surprise). I was already a photographer and shooting sex workers and had industry friends so I was aware of how to get things moving. Grooby showed interest first and I hit the ground running with it since then."

What do you most want to achieve in the industry?

"I ask myself this a bunch and it's complicated. I transitioned a bit later in life than most performers and being a trans woman in general ,success is a major form of validation and if the success stems from my look, my brand and my performance,  that's an amazing rush and that'll speak for years after I retire... I also sort of have a half baked master plan with how I want to leave my mark in this industry by producing some of the hottest TS content under my own brand and make billions of dollars here but I promise it's relatively altruistic... I guess at this point I'd like to produce more of my own content that everyone involved with can be happy with. I try hard to not overstep my values and let that be my legacy."

What is one thing you would teach someone who wanted to be a better sexual partner?

"Breathe, listen to your body, communicate, communicate, communicate! Seriously, people! Be open and honest with your lovers...opening up and being honest opens legs in the most fabulous ways."

What do you love most about being in porn?

"Fuckin' 'n' bein nasty as fuck for money! LOL Seriously, I'm a freak and have given too much nasty for free."

What do you think are “must-have” DVDs for your fans?

"All I can think of is non-porn stuff..anything by Alejandro Jodorowsky, Cool World (if you wanna see what the inside of my brain looks like) LOL, I’m a sci fi nerd too. I like lots of 60s-80s stuff."

What do you like to do for fun?

"Kink parties (pre-COVID), oil painting, riding bikes, motor scooters, roller skating, dancing, hiking, video games, and cooking. I love to cook."

What are your favorite fetishes to explore on camera?

"So at home I’m more of a bottom but I really like to play a devious Mommy domme on camera! It lets me show my fierceness and I get all crazy eyed which is hot but also I love being restrained and humiliated on camera too. Also, I love bringing my leather out! I’m a huge leather fetishist."

Who are your role models in porn?

"Meh, that’s a dangerous word. I don’t want to be in anyone’s shadow and some of the best performers are definitely not role models but I appreciate people like Lance Hart that are not only successful but is also ethical and willing to share tips and tricks to see others thrive."

What is the best mainstream movie you have seen recently?

"Well I’ve rewatched Mad Max: Fury Road one billion times. LOL, I’m drawing a blank really....my brain's been a little scattered during the pandemic and all else that’s been happening."

How about the best porno movie?  Is there someone whose movies you like to watch who is working now?

"Joey Silvera has my favorite style hands down. I love the colors, lighting, outfits...everything. Honored to have worked with him and hang out. He’s a really funny dude!"

What is coming up for you?

"Currently restructuring how I shoot my own content and building out a good schedule to be on top of distro and marketing and I’m working on my style and image a bunch but other than that, unfortunately, I think I’m taking a break from company work because of the rise in COVID cases and shooting in L.A. and Vegas requires me flying out but don’t worry, I’m working really hard regardless."

If you could fuck any celebrity, who would it be?

"Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Kate Beckinsale, Jodie Comer..that’s the short list."

What single piece of advice would you give a brand new performer?

"IT'S OK TO SAY NO! I don’t care how established the brand or performer is. You can say no for any reason and still has LOTS of opportunity."

Is there anything you want to say to your fans here at Fleshbot?

"Thank you Holly! Your write up for my leather mommy scene truly made my day. If you're a fan of me and my work please check out my content at Janieblade.com and also expect a lot more from me!! I’m just getting started. Upvote this interview and leave comments. I’m a little nutty and read a lot of them."
