Vivid Vixen Mercedez

Interview by Peter Landau

Big things come from Texas, and Corpus Christi-born Mercedez with the 34-DDD bust may be the biggest thing ever to come from the Lone Star State. The Latina lover traces her ancestry back to Mexico, and who wouldn’t want to travel south of this hot tamale’s border?

The Vivid Girl can be seen in Emotions, which stirred the emotions of reviewers at Adult Video News (AVN), where it was an editor’s pick. Mercedez can virtually be yours too; all you have to do is log on, turn on, and pop off at her official website, MercedezXXX.com.

But before you do that, take a moment and read about why when you buckle up for a ride with this Mercedez you better keep your engine clean, bring along a handful of horror flicks, and keep the bathroom mouth at home. Now, enjoy the ride!

And to see more of Mercedez, along with all the other Vivid vixens, go to Vivid.com.

It’s not evident from your films, but you’re a horror fan. So what’s you favorite scare flick?
Last night I saw White Noise, which I really didn’t like the storyline, but the part that made you scared I jumped. I couldn’t keep my seat on the floor the whole time.

What about the classics, Frankenstein and Dracula, or do you go more for the Freddy and Jason slasher-type of gore?
I don’t really like the Freddy-Jason stuff, the old stuff. I like stuff like The Ring. The Grudge was pretty scary. I like the newer stuff. House of 1,000 Corpses was one of my favorites.

You a big Rob Zombie fan?
Of his movies; his music is okay. I’m not going to go out and buy his CDs, but I thought the movie was good. I did buy the movie. Wrong Turn is good, you know, stuff like that.

Continuing with uncovering some of your personal secrets, you were a guest on The Jenny Jones Show in an episode called “From Geek to Chic”.
Yes, it was horrible. That was a career mistake to go on that show. I hated it. It was a bad experience for me. They don’t treat you very good there. People who go on those shows, even though they make their money off of you going on the show, they just treat you bad. I swore I would never do another one after that.

Some of the girls I felt really bad for. I’m the kind of person you’re not going to push me around. If I don’t want to do something you’re not going to make me do something. I’m like that. But some of the other girls were in tears because they were making them wear clothes. The girls had brought their own clothes, but then [the show’s producers] pulled out all these stripper clothes. They shouldn’t even be wearing them. They weren’t flattering. They made them wear it to the point that some of the girls were crying and very uncomfortable when they got on stage.

They have people back there who say, “Oh, no, you look great.” They kind of pep them up, but we all know that they look like shit in what they were wearing. They want [the audience] to lose it when they get out there because of what they’re wearing. It’s not what they came with, that’s [the show’s] clothes.

When you get out there you think Jenny Jones is going to be on your side, but she’s not. She didn’t do it to me, but I just felt bad for the girls that I was there with that she did do it with.

But were you really a geek, so to speak, growing up?
I wasn’t a geek. I just was not very popular with the boys or very pretty in high school and junior high. I didn’t have a lot of boyfriends.

You were a late bloomer?
Until I was eighteen, nineteen, yeah [laughs].

Is that when you lost your virginity?
I was about fifteen, and it was an okay experience. I guess if I could change it I would. It was in my mom’s garage and it wasn’t that great. There was nothing romantic about it whatsoever.

How does an unpopular teenager end up competing for Miss Nude Universe?
When I was about seventeen, I came back to Corpus Christi. I didn’t have any money, but I had been modeling. I did Budweiser when I was fifteen and lied that I was eighteen--I had a fake ID. I did JC Penny and Wal-mart. There was an ad in the paper that asked for models and when I showed up it was for stripping at the dance clubs. When I went to the dance clubs and I saw my first feature entertainer, then I wanted to go out and become a feature. After I accomplished everything I wanted to do with featuring I went into porn. It’s not a big jump from one to the other.

It’s a normal career progression?
I feel like it was. If I can dance on stage nude in front of a bunch of guys and work really hard every single weekend and not get paid a fraction of what I get paid now then to me it was way easier.

I have a lot of drive and I don’t like to know that I’m not going anywhere in my career. As a feature I had already won every pageant that there was out there. I mean, every pageant I entered I won. There was nothing else to do there. I had done every magazine, including Penthouse. I had won the awards, gotten the titles, did the magazines, and there was nowhere else to go. The only other thing to do was porn. It didn’t really matter about the sex or showing my body or having sex in front of people. That never bothered me.

I have a thing about being on stage. The first time I started dancing I didn’t see anything wrong with it because I was on stage. When up on stage I don’t really think about guys looking at me or people watching me. I don’t get off on that. I just like the feeling of being on stage.

Well, guys like watching you on stage, especially your Texas-sized tits. Have they always been that big?
No, I used to be a natural B-cup. I had nice boobs, I think, before I got my boob job. But I felt I needed implants to compete with the rest of the girls, so I went to a small C cup. When I started featuring only the girls that had really big boobs were getting money or bookings, so I turned around and got really big implants. I really didn’t feel comfortable with that. I just did it because it helped my bookings. But now they’re fun. I think they’ve gotten a little smaller--maybe that’s in my head.

Is it an ordeal carrying them around? They must give every guy that passes you whiplash as they rubberneck to check you out.
Yeah, I get that. It’s been so long that I’ve had them that I don’t even pay attention. It’s nothing to me.

How about your work, do you like girls or guys better?
I enjoy working with guys more. I don’t know how to say this without it coming across . . . I’m just going to say it: guys are cleaner than girls. When it comes to hygiene and keeping yourself and your areas cleaner, guys are cleaner.

That’s strange because there’s a whole industry devoted to feminine hygiene products. Oh, maybe that’s why . . .
It’s a lot of the girls. Not the contract girls. Contract girls are always very good about keeping themselves clean, well trimmed and all that stuff. But sometimes you get girls on the set that, you walk into the room and it’s like not clean. I never had that problem with guys.

Now a downside of the industry must be obsessive fans. Do you have experience with that?
I have this really obsessive fan that shows up to all my bookings, it doesn’t matter what city or state, he shows up. I told him several times that I don’t date fans and I’m not interested. He doesn’t get it and still shows up to all my conventions. I’ll show up at a booking and there’ll be a dozen roses there and they’ll be from him. He’s always telling me how he has money and that I should run away with him. He can take care of me, for me to stop doing movies. But at the same time, he’s like, “Well, if me and you were to be together I wouldn’t want any other men touching you.” It turns into an obsessive, controlling, jealous person. It’s very scary.

The fact that he can travel wherever I go is more scary. If he knows where I am he will show up. This past AVN he showed up, knowing that I didn’t want to see him; I didn’t want anything to do with him. He handed me a piece of paper and said, “Here, look at this later.” And when I looked at it later it was bank statements highlighting where he had money. He must think I’m the most shallow person in the world if just because he showed me a bank statement with over a million dollars that I was going to turn around and call him and run off with him.

It’s scary because he’s persistent. It’s scary because I know when he’s somewhere where I’m at I have to have someone with me at all times. You never know when he’s going to go crazy and just take me or kill me, you never know. You don’t know these people. He could have a dead cat on his wall with pictures of me all around it and cattle brains for all I know.

That’s quite a vivid imagination you have.
I watch a lot of horror movies [laughs].

Before I let you go, tell me about the recent announcement from Vivid Entertainment pertaining to the hardcore movies you’re making with hip-hop stars Lil John and the East Side Boyz.
I listen to R&B mostly, and I listen to all Lil John’s music. But when they said you’re going to be working with Lil John I said, “Ugh, this guy’s going to be such a male chauvinist. He’s going to be calling everybody bitches. And I’m like the Vivid Girl who you can’t cuss at. I’m the one Vivid Girl who won’t say cuss words in my movies and the guys are not allowed to cuss at me, even when we’re having sex. This guy’s going to call me a bitch or something and I’m going to flip out.

We went to a party in Vegas and he’s looking at me, and I was like, “What?” And he’s like, “How come you’re not drinking?” I was like, “I don’t know.” And he said, “I’m going to go make you a drink.” He went and got the thing of vodka and orange juice and he made me a drink then and there. I called my brother, “Lil John made me a drink!” My brother was laughing because you don’t expect that. He’s got money. He doesn’t need to do that.

His public image is less gentlemen and more pimp.
Maybe he doesn’t want everybody to know that secret, but he was very nice.

It was great talking to you, Mercedez, and I’m glad I didn’t curse because I didn’t realize you don’t go that way.
It’s when you’re shooting movies, like Nick Manning for example, he’ll be having sex and say, “You fucking whore! You like it when I do it like your daddy.” I’m like, if he ever does that to me I’ll fucking kill him!

Oops, you just used a dirty word.
Well, yeah, every now and then I’ll say that. But don’t talk to me like that. That’s just a little too extreme for me.
