People say ‘you're so serious’ – even friends of my friends,” Grey added. “I'm pretty funny it's one of those things. I was not in a Linda Lovelace situation, and it’s a shame that positive ones don’t get more exposure.”Īnd for those folks lucky enough to get truly “up close and personal” with the former porn princess, it seems you’re in for quite a surprise. It’s a shame we don’t hear the positive stories anymore. “But the reality is that there are a huge amount of women who are very happy with their careers and where they have gone in their lives. I was very aware of when I got started and kept in mind it was a possibility I would meet people like this,” she continued. I’m currently using Milk, though I’d like something with more coverage.“(People think) that we’re dumb girls that were victims of abuse, strung out on drugs, that we don’t know what we are doing, and aren’t business-minded. So many are loaded with mineral oil and/or parabens. She also uses Milk Makeup Flex Concealer in Light: "I’m constantly searching for the 'perfect' concealer. “But for sure, there’s a little Danzig inspiration at times with my makeup.”įor base makeup, Grey is partial to Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation in 213 mixed with Moisture Foundation in 003. I don’t want to feel caked on I want my eyes to feel fresh,” Grey says. “There’s a great makeup artist I work with occasionally named Gregory Arlt, and we always say, ‘I want to have makeup on, but I still want to feel my face. I have to be doing something, and if I’m not, it’s actually really depressing for me”), she’s kept her makeup classic and understated, yet familiar to her die-hard fans. In Grey’s post-porn era, as she bounces back and forth trying to keep up with her packed schedule (“I like to work. So instead of pretending like it’s going to go away and judging it, why not talk about it more?” Everybody wants a little junk food, and everybody wants to indulge every once in a while, and that’s not going to go away. We have a lot of issues going on in our country right now, so it’s just, like, one more to add to the pile, but sex and porn - I’ve said it before, and I’ve said it for years - it’s like McDonald’s. “I don’t know if I identify with her, but I empathize that the situation has been blown out of proportion, and it’s definitely not a place I would want to be in.” She goes on to explain, “It just shows you the hypocrisy that still exists in our society, where a man can be a slut and have money and be considered admirable, but if a woman chooses to do the same thing, she’s perceived as somebody who is lesser-than on the rungs of society, and I think that’s bullshit, and I think it’s time that that changes.
