Dear Evelyn,

I have a question,

Can you recall any time you’ve been in a scene where your mind has completely blanked and you thought of something really bizarre? I don’t mean anything crazy, necessarily, but something that just seemed out-of-place given that you’re shooting a hardcore porn scene. Like, say, a song from a recent tv ad, or perhaps a recounted bit of conversation you had with a deli owner the week before. Perhaps you’ve been in a scene and, for whatever reason, you couldn’t shake the image of Patrick Stewart eating a bagel, or maybe you had the chorus of the song “Physical” by Olivia Newton John repeating over and over again. They don’t have to be funny thoughts, per se, just things that upon further review seem really odd to have been having at the time. They can be completely mundane. In fact, the more mundane the better.

By the way, my intention here isn’t to question the integrity of your performing or to suggest that you don’t come across as committed during your scenes. It’s really more about seeing whether the porn work environment is as prone to the same fits of mental lapses as other work environments, like coal mines or Rite-Aid checkout counters. As with previous questions, this is 100% sincere. Also, Happy New Year!

Keith
