Xcitement Interviews: Tanya Taylor

Tanya Taylor

There are many words to describe Tanya Taylor; hometown girl, feature entertainer, magazine model, and of course beautiful. But there is one term you shouldn’t use to describe her; “Porn Star!” Because it just ain’t true dammit! Tanya clears up that confusion along with talking about her S&M show where she treats men like dogs and catching her butt on fire. OUCH!

Xcitement: Are you in Florida now?
Tanya: Yes, I’m back in Florida. It’s nice.
X: I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. Have you ever been anywhere nicer then Florida?
T: Uhm. I really like California, it’s very beautiful, but I don’t like the traffic out there. Have you been to California?
X: Yes, I love riding up the beach roads and the mountains out there.
T: That’s my favorite thing. I love the fact that there is the ocean, the beach and all these beautiful views. But I love Florida too. The weather, you can’t beat it.
X: I thought we had awful traffic here until I went to LA.
T: Yeah I know, me too. I just sat there and had anxiety attacks and thought if I had to wait in that traffic for one more minute I was going to go crazy.
X: The most beautiful place I have ever been to though was Hawaii. Have you ever been to Hawaii?
T: No, but I just did another interview with Penthouse and they asked me if there was anywhere in the world I could live, I said Hawaii. Even though I haven’t been there yet, because I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about it and I’ve seen pictures and it just looks dreamy.
X: It’s kind of a mix between both places, LA and South Florida, it’s got the ocean and the mountains. It’s everything good about both places. Except they have the traffic there too. So when is your interview with Penthouse coming out?
T: July, it’s in the August issue.
X: So did you do a photo shoot with them too?
T: Not with them, but with Earl Miller who shoots for them, and many other magazines. He brought me out to California and for three days I just shot with him for like ten-hour days and worked my buns off, and Penthouse liked one of the shoots that he did with me.
X: Is this your first time in Penthouse?
T: It is.
X: Congratulations!
T: Thank you. I’m really excited.
X: How do you keep in shape? You must work out a lot.
T: I do. I work out four to five days a week and I try to do forty-five minutes of weightlifting and then forty-five minutes of cardio. And then of course my job in itself is cardio because I am always on stage burning calories.
X: You burn a lot of calories dancing. Do you feature a lot?
T: I feature A LOT! I am on the road probably three weeks out of every month, sometimes four.
X: What is the best thing about featuring?
T: Definitely performing. I absolutely love to dance and to have people compliment me on that makes me feel really good.
X: What’s the worse thing?
T: Probably traveling so much and being away from home.
X: Traveling four years ago compared to now is so different.
T: It’s a bitch. It’s horrible.
X: How often do they search your luggage and pull out your dildos?
T: God I wish I had some funny stories about that. Normally if I have dildos they are not in my carry on. I put them in my checked luggage. So there was one incident, I do a cowboy set and I used to carry a real gun, that didn’t have where you put the bullets in, it was gone. So it was basically a real gun without that in it. After 9-11, when they got really, really strict about everything that went into your bag that you were checking. They checked my bag and I had that gun in there, but as they are going through, they are seeing whips, dildos, all these crazy S&M looking costumes and they were looking at me like, “damn woman what do you do for a living?” They ladies behind the counter were laughing and giggling and they’re like we are not even going to pull these things out. There were trying to lift the bag and check it where no one would notice what they were looking at. It was pretty funny.
X: Sounds funny. Were you born and raised down here?
T: No. I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. I decided to move here about three years ago and bought my first house. I loved Ohio, but the weather is horrible there. It’s inconsistent, and too many gray days for me.
X: How did the people in your high school class react to your job choice?
T: It is funny because if I feature in Columbus there are normally one or two of them that stroll in. I was very popular, they thought I was cute then, but when they see me now, they get pretty excited. When I went there a couple years ago about four guys that I used to date each one of them and they all walked in together. One of them wanted a private dance with me, and I had a couple cocktails in me so I was feeling pretty rambunctious. He’s telling me how good I look and I’m like yeah, don’t you wish you hadn’t fucked me over. I said look at me now buddy.
X: Doesn’t it feel good to say that?
T: Yeah cause he was a cocky little dick head. So I’m happy. I threw it in his face what he missed out on.
X: Good for you! What’s your favorite show that you do?
T: My dominatrix. I have a very aggressive personality and I portray that character on stage. I love the music. This is some kick ass rock. I go out there and stomp my feet.
X: What do you do to the guys in the audience?

In that set I bring someone up on stage that I choose and I put them in a slave mask that has zippers over the mouth and the eyes. I put the mask on them that is usually a pretty tight fit. Then I put them in a horse riding position, doggy style if you want to call it that. I beat his ass and lead him around the club stage and sit on top of him. Then I will rip off his shoes and socks and take his dirty sock and put it in his mouth and make him eat it.
X: Eww!
T: Then if he has a belt on I’ll put it around his neck and walk him around like he’s a dog. It’s kinda fun! There are a few other shows where I bring guys on stage, but they aren’t as hardcore as that one. A lot of guys love it; they ask when I will be doing that show again.
X: Do they to be the guy on stage? Or the one in the audience watching someone be humiliated?
T: I normally have a little bit of both in my audience. The ones that are really into watching it and the other ones that want to be on stage with me.
X: I’m supposed to ask you about setting your ass on fire.
T: Oh yeah. (Sarcastically) I just love talking about that! I was in a club on stage and it was packed. I’d been to this club before and they love me to do fire shows there. So I decided to do a fire show. It was a floorshow. I put a blanket on the floor and then put the bowl of fire in front. I play with the fire, put my hands in it. Pour lotion on me, that type thing. There was a girl that was by the stairs at the side of the stage and she was sitting there and she kept wanting me to come over and play with her, which of course I didn’t mind that. And I was taking tips with my boobs out of her mouth. We were just being playful having fun. I got up to walk away and collect tips from other sides of the stage and as I looked back and I saw her move my bowl, which is full of rubbing alcohol and on fire. And she tipped it and caught my blanket on fire, and the only one that had seen what happened was me. It was almost like I was watching it in slow motion. So I went over there and tried to pull the blanket away from the bowl and as I did the whole thing tipped and it was like lava going onto the stage. The good thing about rubbing alcohol is if you leave it burning it will just burn out itself, the flame does not keep getting bigger and bigger. But I didn’t want to freak everybody out so I tried to stomp it out, but then my feet caught fire. It really got scary then because I thought I was going to burn my legs and burn my feet. I didn’t know what was going to happen. And as I was stomping out my feet which the fire did go out I slipped on some lotion I had poured earlier and fell right in a pile of fire and I got second degree burns on my left butt cheek. I didn’t go to the hospital or anything because at first I didn’t think I was burned. I ran in the back and they got the fire extinguisher and put out the fire on stage. Everyone is like are you okay? I thought I was okay. My butt was hot and when I looked back it was red. So I ran back out on stage and everybody went crazy, they couldn’t believe I was back out there. So they are screaming and I go around, I mean it was the best show I had all week. They were so excited and I made a ton of money. But as I was walked out, someone said oh my God look at your butt and when I turned around and looked, I had three huge blisters on my butt. And then the pain kicked in. I’m a pretty tough chick, when it comes to pain I can take a lot, but a burn. That hurt. I was more upset about what happened then even the burn. I’ve been featuring for seven years and I’ve never had that happen, ever. It really wasn’t my fault, but I don’t want to blame her either. She certainly didn’t mean for it to happen. Let’s just say that I came up with the concept that drunk people and fires don’t mix that well. I don’t know if I will ever do a fire show again. And if I do it won’t be for a while. My burns are healing very nicely and I went to the doctor who gave me cream and she said it should be fine and it’s not going to scar.
X: When did this all happen?
T: About four weeks.
X: I’m sorry. I was told you had this great story about your ass catching on fire, and I thought it was supposed to be funny. That isn’t funny.
T: It’s not too funny. But I probably made it sound funny, because people really freak out when they hear it. So I tell it in a humorous sort of way. I say, “I looked down and all of a sudden, Holy Shit, my ass is on fire!” It’s not funny, but it is kind of funny.
X: Well after you are all better, you will probably tell it funny.
T: And afterward everyone was saying here have a shot of tequila, have a shot, to try and forget the pain. By the end of the night I was shaking, I kind of went into a little bit of shock. I was lucky; it could have been my face or my hair. All those girls out there, be careful with your fire shows!
X: What is the funniest thing that ever happened to you when you were featuring?
T: Oh God. My girlfriend hates to travel with me. She used to call my Grace, because I used to be anything but graceful. A lot of people tell me I am graceful on stage but really I am a total klutz. Probably the funniest thing that ever happened to me was I was doing a kick and my shoe flew off and hit a guy in the face. He was laughing about it and I was embarrassed but it was funny at the same time.
X: What is the weirdest thing a fan ever said to you?
T: A guy asked me if I would piss in a cup so he could drink it.
X: You should have said how much money do you have in your bank account?
T: I didn’t do it. It’s a little out there for me. I don’t’ put you down for it though if you are into that, that’s great. Whatever gets you off.
X: What does your ideal man look like?
T: I’ve dated every type of archetype, they say there are 21 archetypes of humans, and I’ve probably dated one of each. From completely nerdy, the artist, the rocker, the athletic person. I’m very into fitness. I like a guy, he doesn’t have to be huge or a body builder, but a nice looking guy that I can tell takes care of himself, that has a nice head of hair because I love to run my fingers through a man’s hair. Beautiful eyes, piercing eyes are always a good thing. And teeth, ya gotta have a nice smile.
X: Yeah, it wouldn’t be fun dating a guy with no teeth! (Laughs)
T: I’ve gotta tell you and I’m not going to tell you where, but I was just at a club where a lot of people were missing teeth. And I have to tell you I don’t know how they walk around thinking that it’s okay. It’s NOT OKAY! I don’t care if you get fake teeth; get something to fill those spaces! Oh my God, you don’t have the nicest body, or nicest face, but if you have nice teeth I’ll take another look at you.
X: So to be Tanya’s date, you do have to have teeth.
T: Yes, you have to have teeth.
X: Where would be your dream date?
T: I’m adventurous. I’d want to go on a safari or something. I love animals. Go experience something like that. There are so many places in Africa that are beautiful. I’d love to go there. That would be the place I would like to go on safari.
X: How often are you naked in public?
T: Most of my life. I try to be naked as much as I can because I love being naked. If I could walk around without clothes all the time I would. My friends and family make fun of me because I am just very comfortable with nudity. I am a very liberal person. I think the body is a beautiful thing. If there is a nude beach I want to go there. I’m enjoying that my skin is completely exposed and I’m getting sun. That to me is very sexy.
X: Who do you think are the sexiest people in Hollywood?
T: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
X: Ninety-nine percent of the people I ask name Angelina.
T: She’s not like the most beautiful. I think she is attractive because she is very unique looking. She’s striking because nobody anywhere else in Hollywood or the world looks like her. She’s got a very boyish body. But to me what is most attractive about her is her personality. She is very mysterious. She likes to keep her life somewhat private and I have a lot of respect for her. She does a lot of humanitarian things for the world. And Brad Pitt is just hot, and nice to look at. And one other guy that I think is gorgeous is The Rock. And you know what I think is beautiful about him, is his teeth. His teeth! Back to the teeth again.
X: Are you a porn star?
T: There’s a big lie out there that I was going to go hardcore. That was put out by someone who tried to push me down that avenue. I love porn, I love to watch it. But it’s just not for me to do. I did do some spice kind of movies. It’s soft porn really. I only did that twice. One was a movie with Marilyn Chambers. Then I did one on my own that I actually directed and produced. I hired my own crew to come in and film it. I kept it very tasteful and it was all from my perspective. You can let everybody know. I am not a porn star. Only in my private life. (laughs).
X: What about the movie “ Hot Pursuit?”
T: Hot Pursuit was another Tanya Taylor from back in the late eighties, early nineties. My real name is Tanya, to all those out there wondering But when I took on the name Tanya Taylor I didn’t do any research, like a jerk off, to find out that there was already a Tanya Taylor existing out there who was a hardcore porn star. A couple of my family members see the name of this movie on the Internet and it says, “ Tania does Anal”, and all that. And they were all thinking it was me. I had to do a lot of explaining with that. My movie is “Tanya Taylor Raw” and it is done in a soft porn fashion.
X: Are you into any of this season’s TV programs? Because they are all wrapping up this week.
T: I am a Desperate Housewives whore. I absolutely love that show. I also like Grey’s Anatomy. And Lost, I love Lost. I don’t get a lot of time to watch TV, but I try to tune in on my shows.
X: I like Lost. All the guys on that show are hot. They did a really good job casting it.
T: God bless them. I know I enjoy looking at them.
X: Is there anything else that we should mention to your fans?
T: I know Xcitement goes out to a lot of the southern states and I always tour around Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. I hope they will look for me at a club near them. And thank the fans for supporting me and coming to see me and supporting me.
