Drop-dead gorgeous Jeanie Rivers mysteriously
vanished from porn in mid-2000. Quite a loss. Rivers had proven
herself a sexual dynamo by giving impressively molten performances
in (among other titles) Anabolic's Initiations 1, Hustler's
Barely Legal 4, Randy West's Up And Cummers 70, and
Legend's Trailer Trash Nurses 2. Yet, after a little over a
year in the adult-film industry, the fresh, natural-breasted,
smooth-skinned, lush-butted, big-lipped, doe-eyed new kid on the
block fell right off the face of the earth.
Or so it seemed. In October,
that is, several months after Rivers' sudden disappearance,
Spectator happily discovered the porn beauty in Carson City,
Nevada. More specifically, at Miss Kitty's Cathouse, a legal brothel
owned by Moonlite Bunnyranch pimp-extraordinaire Dennis Hof.
Consequently, this journalist wasted no time setting up an interview
with Rivers. Born in Nicaragua, Jeanie
was raised near Salem, Oregon. She started dancing in strip clubs
shortly after graduating from high school and, well, you can almost
guess the rest: An agent discovered her, she moved out to
California, did nude modeling for magazines, and transitioned
smoothly into porn. The following conversation took place in
Jeanie's room at Kitty's immediately following Halloween, the
plastic spiders and fake cobwebs still decorating the spacious abode
of the gracious and fun 21-year-old. (By the way, if you'd like to
take a plunge with the very accommodating Ms. Rivers, feel free to
call 1-800-MsKittys to set up an appointment.)
Spectator: So, Jeanie, have you ever worked in a
brothel before? Jeanie Rivers: No, this is my first
time. I like it quite a bit, too. But, I mean, porn is pretty much
the same thing, it's just a moving brothel�you work here, and you
work there.
Sp: You were born in Nicaragua, but what's
your ethnic make-up? JR: My dad's Caucasian, and my
mother is Nicaraguan�my hair is naturally very dark. He went to
Nicaragua while he was in the Air Force, Navy, or whatever he did,
and that's how he met my mom. But my mom's never been married. And
as far as I can remember, she and my father have always lived
separately. I don't remember much about him.
Sp: Were you
a problem child growing up in Oregon? JR: [thinking]
Ummm... I wasn't all that bad. But I loved sex at a young
age. [laughs]
Sp: How young is young? JR:
[laughs] Just real young. Like, I remember being in elementary
school, probably third or fourth grade, and taking a little boy into
the girl's bathroom and... playing with him. [laughs]
Then in the seventh grade, when I was like 13, I
just started having fun... sneaking boys in at home. My mom, my
little brother, and I lived together in this really large mobile
home, so I would just wait until mom went to sleep. Oh, I did
horrible things. [laughs] I mean, before any boys would come to my
home, I'd take the phone into my bedroom and talk to them, "Oh,
you're on your way?... Okay, see you soon..." It was a big home, and
my mom's room was like waaaaay down the hall, on the other
side of the place. But I would always have my boy friends walk right
up into my driveway, into my front door, [whispering] past the
kitchen, living room....
Sp: Your mom must have suspected
something. JR: Nooooo... but she did catch me
one time. I always set my alarm clock to wake me up five minutes
before my mom got up to go to work. I mean, she'd get up at like
5:30 in the morning or whatever, so I'd set my alarm for 5:25. And
when the alarm went off, I'd wake up my visiting friend, put him in
my closet, get in my bed, lie down, and, as mom would be getting
ready, he'd stay in the closet right up until she left for
work. Well, one time my little
brother, who was probably four at the time, was lying asleep on one
side of me, with my boyfriend on the other side. My little brother
had been crying, so to get him to stop, I let him lie down in bed
with us. Anyhow, when the alarm clock went off at 5:25, I got my
boyfriend in the closet, and my little brother obviously knew he was
in there. So when my mom got up to got to work, my brother told her,
"Mommy, Trevor's here." It was an innocent thing; he wasn't trying
to get me into trouble. Anyhow, my mom just opened the closet door,
grabbed Trevor by his foot, and... "Get outta here!" she screamed...
[laughs] ...and dragged him right outta the house. It was the
stupidest thing.
Sp: No more sneaking boys after
that? JR: Well, what I'd do then is go out to meet the
boys. I'd sneak the car keys out of my mom's purse at night, get
into her car, put it in neutral, push it out of the driveway, start
it real quick, and then hurry up and go! [laughs] I was
bad.
Sp: Where did you come up with the name
'Jeanie Rivers'? JR: It was my idea, and it was the
first name I ever came up with. You know how some girls get a name
and they change it again and again? Not me. I lived on River Road in
Oregon, and my mom's name is Jeanette, but they've always called her
Jeanie. I also thought of 'Rivers' because I get extremely wet.
Ex-treme-ly wet. Even the foreplay... I get like a river down
there. [laughs]
Sp: Why did you drop out of
porn? JR: Probably because you can only go so far in
that industry before people are tired of seeing the same stuff,
either working with the same guy�who was Chuck Martino at the
time�or doing safe sex. When I first got in the business, everybody
was shooting me, and it was wonderful. But then it totally died
down, and I thought, "Well, shoot, my little 10 minutes of fame are
over. I'm just not going to get my chance to get big. I'm not
getting any feedback. I can't even get a good page in Adult Video
News." I did do a really good Jerome Tanner film, though�Trailer
Trash Nurses 2. He's very, very hard to work for, but produces
good movies.
Sp: How did you find out about
Kitty's? JR: Actually, through an old boyfriend�who's
now my current boyfriend�from my hometown in Oregon. "It's up to
you," he said. "You can try it out." I was freaked out at first. "Oh
no... oh no," I told him. But, see, at that same time, I'd recently
come off of porn and I told him, "I can't go to any regular little
job right now... there's just no way."
Sp: Because of the
money you made in porn? JR: Well, yeah. I mean, you're
already used to that amount of money, and then you're expected to go
down? And I said, "I have to do something that's on the same
wavelength." But I make more money here at Kitty's than I did in the
movies, anyway. My price is very reasonable, though, and the owner,
Dennis [Hof] is cool with me, too. I
have a house with my boyfriend here in Carson City, but we also have
a house in Oregon, so I leave here every night to go home to him.
But it's hard for him, because I don't think you can truly love
somebody and have them work in a house. And if a guy wants me for an
outdate for the night, he has to pay me big money. It's gonna
cost. Why? Because of the cost I pay for being away from my love,
the person whom I go home to every night.
Sp: Since you
work in a brothel, can your boyfriend see other
women? JR: No. [laughs] I told him, "If you can get
some money for sex, go for it. I don't mind it." Other than that,
I'm not working my butt off here so he can fool
around.
Sp: Do you have orgasms on the
job? JR: [laughs] You're not supposed to... but I do.
[laughs] But, see, it's really hard for me to orgasm: I have to
totally stimulate my clit the whole time. If I'm playing with my
clit in a movie, it's real. Actually,
guys are different: If they have anything, anything on their
mind, they're not going to get hard. Like here at Kitty's?... If
some guys are open and tell me, "You know, I'd really like it if you
would do this," then I'll do it. And if they're having problems,
I'll stop and say, "Is there anything, honey, that would make you
feel more comfortable? Would you like me to touch you in a certain
spot?" Sometimes I use cock rings on older guys... anything to help
them out. But it's mostly the guys who
come in here and drink a lot who can't get it up. Other than that,
most everybody's happy. I mean, all the girls working here
occasionally see some bad customers who come in, but for the most
part they're all good guys.
Sp: Any notions of ever
returning to porn? JR: Well, if I ever go back, I'm
going to have a plan. I'm going to shoot for this company, for that
company, do a variety of work. I don't know, maybe I just jumped the
gun when I left porn. I never wanted a reputation of, "Oh, she's
comin' back and forth like a flake." So I'll have to plan it out
myself a little better than I did last time. I mean, I didn't think
I'd ever get big in porn, and if I'm going to come back into the
industry, this time I definitely want to be big. |
