I remember years ago reading she had left the industry to go to college. This morning I find in my paper that she has written a book, apparently.

If they managed to find a ghostwriter who has at least a basic grasp of literature, she'll outsell 50 sheds in no time.

"Could former porn star Sasha Grey be the next EL James?

The 25-year-old former porn superstar has reinvented herself as a novelist, and her first book, The Juliette Society, revolves around a woman's introduction to a highly secretive sex club."

Sasha Grey does everything and everything poorly.

She was a bad porn star, she was a bad musician, she was a bad actress, she was a bad wikipedia moderator, she was a bad DJ, she was a bad photographer, and now she's a bad writer.

Not him, but I can kind of agree with him. I thought she was mediocre with a few good scenes. She had that sarcastic/ironic attitude about nearly everything she did in porn, instead of just enjoying it and going with it. It was a sort of false sense of superiority, the kind that goes with hipsters who "ironically" wear thick-rimmed glasses and shirts with their own faces airbrushed on. I guess a succinct way of putting it was she "felt dishonest" or ironic about it. That made her unpleasant for me, but I would hatefuck her and some of her scenes are decent.

For someone that does outlandish dirty talk well and enjoys it, see Ava Devine or maybe Proxy Paige, haven't seen much of the latter though.

Oh yeah. Terrible.

Sasha Grey didn't like the picture of herself on her wikipedia page, so she tried to change it to something else. Her edits were undone, and she threw a tantrum. Eventually she threatened to sue people who were making edits to her page, and wikipedia moderators had to step in and tell her to stop or else they would ban her. Hilarious stuff. You can still see it if you check the edit history of her wikipedia page.

Agreed.

Dirty talk is great in moderation. Sasha Gray doesn't moderate anything. She commentates on the sex she's having through barks and shouts:

"OH YEAH YOU'RE FUCKING ME IN THE ASS. YEAH YOU LIKE MY ASS. FUCK ME IN THE ASS."

There's something distanced and anesthetized about Sasha's porn. She walls herself off through irony and sarcasm. By continuously vocalizing the debased acts being done to her, she transformers herself from participant to provoker. There's nothing sexy in this.

The worse is how MASCULINE she speaks during sex: her "dirty talk" is almost all in the imperative; it's aggressive and boorish; it's what we'd expect to hear from some beery lout at a welterweight title fight, not from a woman getting railed.

Looks aside, she's a mediocre porn star.
