Interview with Nikki Sims ( 2008 )
Well, I am here with Nikki Sims and I am so excited to have gotten this opportunity to do this interview. Nikki Sims has been a model for quite some time now and has just recently started up her own site.
Hi Nikki. To start with, how old are you and where do you live?
I turned 24 on February 6th and I live in Illinois.
How tall are you? Weight?
I am a shorty, only 5'4 and I weigh 125 pounds.
How did you first get introduced into the porn industry?
Actually, I never really thought of what I do as 'porn' really, but I got started because of Tiffany Teen. I've known her since first grade and one day one of our friends called me and told me about her site. I checked it out and called her to ask her about it. She told me all the details about how much money she was making and that it was all non nude and said that Phil Flash was looking for more girls. I told her I was interested and sent some photos to Phil. We set up a meeting and it all fell into place from there!
So you started out working for Phil Flash and now have your own site. What happened there?
I'd rather not get into the whole story of what happened between Phil and I. It's long and complicated and just irritates me to think about. I'll just say that I was completely taken by surprise, shocked and really upset when he fired me the way he did. He had previously said that he wanted to spend more time with his family which is understandable, but I honestly think he was looking for an excuse because he wanted to take his business in a different direction that he knew I wouldn't want to be a part of. We didn't end on good terms and haven't spoken since he emailed me my termination notice in July of 2007.
So, do you have any role models in this business?
I wouldn't say I have any 'role models' in this business necessarily, but if I had to pick someone that I look up to it would be Christine Dolce AKA 'Forbidden' on myspace, because she is an absolutely beauitful girl, a successful model, incredibly intelligent and a successful entrepreneur who started her own fashion line.
What do people say or how do they react when they find out what you do for a living?
Most people don't react in a negative way, they are usually really intrigued and ask me tons of questions about what I do and how many members I have and how the whole 'website model' thing works. Some people are concerned about how it will affect my future when the time comes for me to get a 'real' job, but no one has been negative towards me (at least not to my face).
What do you like to do in your spare time?
When I actually have spare time I like to work out, pamper myself by going tanning and getting my nails done.
I like to hang out with my friends at the bar and I absolutely love to just relax and spend time with my family or watch a good movie. When the weather is nice I love to be outside swimming or boating or walking around the Zoo.
What do you like most about doing your site?
The thing I like most about doing the site I have now, NikkisPlaymates, is that since I own it, my opinion actually matters. If I don't like the way something looks or the way a photoshoot went or whatever, I can say 'hey I think we should change that'. It also gives me a chance to act as photographer too, which is awesome.
How much do you participate in your site?
I'd like to participate more than I do in my site right now but time is not my friend and a lot of the things I want to learn I don't have the time for right now. But like I said before, I do have a say in everything and can decide what kind of photoshoots I want to do and what kind of videos, etc. Besides doing photoshoots and videos, I do weekly camshows and weekly journals, and I also have my own forum.
What was your very first photoshoot like?
It was right after my first meeting with Phil, and I mean RIGHT after. We had just finished talking about everything that was involved with having a site and what the requirements were and he says, 'So, you wanna do a test shoot?'. Oh My God! On the inside I was freaking out because I had no idea what I was doing! Of course I said yes and we picked out some outfits and started shooting. I don't think I've ever felt so awkward in my life!
What does your family and friends think of what you do?
All of my friends know and they are all supportive about it. My parents also know but I didn't choose to tell them. I honestly don't remember how or when my dad found out but I do remember him saying, 'it's not porn is it?'. Of course his idea of porn (and most people's idea of porn) is having sex on camera, so I told him I that I wasn't doing that and explained what it was and he said, 'ok, as long as it's not porn.'. haha! My mom on the other hand found out from my half sister who found out from my niece who found out because one of her friends asked her why I was on the internet, lol. My sister told me I should tell my mom and I said ok. Then a few days later I got a call from my mom asking me what the hell I was doing. At that point I realized that my sister had taken it upon herself to tell my mom. Needless to say my mom and I don't talk about it and whenever it does come up she always tells me how I'm 'ruining my future'.
Have you had any encounters with fans?
I've had a few encounters with fans, mostly at school after walking past a group of people, I'd hear 'Oh My God, that's that Nikki girl from the internet!' or someone would yell, 'Hey Nikki' and I'd turn around to see a group of people quickly turn around going, 'OH MY GOD THAT'S HER!' Other encounters have been people in the area that happen to be at the same restaurant or bar I'm at. They keep looking at me like they know me and finally gather up the courage to come up and ask me 'where do I know you from?' or 'are you Next Door Nikki?' I even had a group of sailors walk up to me while I was in the mall one summer and ask me for my autograph. One said he recognized me from the tattoo on my upper back. I think that was the coolest experience because I never thought I'd hear 'Can I have your autograph?'. I've had one bad experience though and actually it's been an experience over the last 2 1/2 years.. I have a stalker.
What is the toughest thing about your job that most fans don't even think about?
The one thing I think most people don't think about is how physical modeling really is. The day after a long photoshoot I'm just exhausted and my back and legs are usually really sore! Walking around in heels most of the time, posing in all those different and sometimes awkward positions, standing on tippy toe and flexing your thighs to make your legs look tight and muscular, arching your back.. it's all a huge strain on your body.
So, time to get into some steamier questions. What turns you on?
What gets me in the mood? I love kissing and being kissed on the back of my neck, caressing. I like to be teased and dominated, and I like using toys.
What turns you off?
Probably just sloppiness. I hate slobbery kisses.. anywhere.
What do you wear to bed?
Only my underwear.
What is your favorite sex position?
I like missionary, especially when I'm in the mood to be dominated. I also like doggy style because it just feels good.
What is your favorite sex toy?
My favorite was this little yellow bullet with 5 or so different speeds of vibration, but then it broke. So I got a similar green one, and then that one broke too. I have to get a new one!
Do you like oral and anal sex?
Oral sex is the ultimate foreplay.
I have tried anal sex a couple times. I don't hate it or anything but I definately prefer 'regular sex'.
When you give a blowjob, do you spit or swallow?
Swallow. I didn't know spitting was an option. lol
Have you ever kissed a girl?
Yes, there's just something different about kissing a girl, I don't know what it is exactly.
How far have you gone with a girl?
I've had a girlfriend before so I've done everything there is to do.
What is your favorite place to have sex?
I would have to say the bed because it's the most intimate and the most comfortable.
