So I decided, since my birthday is coming up, to take a small break from the intense blogging. Today we get to see the top ten smartest porn stars!! Not all are idiots...
1. Asia Carrera - She played the piano as a child and was so talented she played at Carnegie Hall twice before turning 15. She has an IQ of 156. Also, she attended Rutgers University where she earned a full scholarship, and double-majored in Business and Japanese.
2. Lorelei Lee - She is a 2008 graduate from San Francisco State University. She's also a graduate student at NYU for creative writing.
3. Nina Hartley - She graduated magna cum laude from San Francisco State University's nursing school, and is a registered nurse. She is also a really experienced and wise sex educator and teaches through a series of "Guide to..." films that pretty much cover everything in sexuality.
4. Ron Jeremy - He is the world record holder for most appearances in adult films, and actually used to be a teacher. He has his bachelor's degree in Education and Theatre and his Master's Degree in Special Education from Queens College in New York.
5. Sasha Grey - She has little academic background, but she regularly stands up for concepts you would find in upper division undergraduate courses like existentialism, German expressionism, and French New Wave. (Bonus: She's super hot!!)
6. A.J. Bailey - She has a Bachelor's Degree in Anthropology and studied art at St Andrews, the top Scottish university, also attended by Prince William. She spends a lot of her free time reading Tolstoy and Oscar Wilde.
7. Shy Love - She graduated high school at age 16. She then earned her Bachelor's degree in Accounting. Immediately after, she got her Master's Degree in Accounting. Soon after that, she took night classes to earn her second Master's Degree in Taxation.
8. Joanna Angel - She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature with a minor in Film Studies from Rutgers University. She also is a director and writer of the adult films she stars in. Her writing has been featured in magazines and newspapers such as The New York Times.
9. Lisa Sparxxx - She holds a world record for having sex with 919 men in the space of a day. She also has a Master of Arts degree in Multimedia with a minor in Business from the University of Kentucky. She even started her own affiliate program via her personal website which she runs with her husband.
10. T.J. Hart - She graduated with a triple major in psychology, sociology and art. She also had a minor in early childhood education from the University of Colorado.
And just because her book is my favorite...
** Jenna Jameson - She is largely considered the most successful woman in porn. Though there's little to go on from academics, you've got to give credit to the woman for, almost single handedly, bringing porn into the mainstream. Also, the Oxford Union debating society invited her to come to Oxford to debate a proposed British law against porn. Surprisingly, she led her side straight to victory, winning the debate 204 to 27.
Oh how I love society's steriotypes. I can honestly say I know some idiot strippers. But I can also say I know some idiots that seem to have everything going for them too. I love these ladies...and man...for doing what they do and proving everyone wrong!!
