Harri, I believe she mostly lives off of a life insurance payout from her husband's death, and she still has a pay site/sells merchandise, though I can't imagine there are many remaining members of her site given that there's no new content. Also I believe that she sold property before the real estate bubble burst and purchased her current house in a remote part of Utah after the bubble for very cheap. Plus she doesn't have to pay for expensive childcare since she's a stay-at-home mom. And of course Asia has a lot of die-hard fans who seem to help her out when they can. I don't really get it, but hey, if it makes them happy! /avid Asia bulletin follower

Yeah she lives on the life insurance, and probably residuals from her late husband's company, since those sites are still up. She strikes me as a sweetheart, but really needs a patient guy to take care of her, which, unfortunately, she had and lost.
Needs a patient guy? Why? She just needs to get her shit together- as they say- and get back to work, shes certainly smart enough not having to rely on some guy financially supporting her: Rutgers university( did she do anything with that? Does she have/has a degree(s)?, mensa.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia_Carrera Sorry to say it in these terms, but it has been four years now since her husband died, she has 2 kids, she drinks, and only lives from insurances and donations of fans? No more monkey business she's got work to do; Sometimes its a bitch to come in terms with the truth, but it also can be a necessity for women in the same position like her....

I skimmed those blog entries, and she says at one point that she needs to lose 25 lbs., which probably means she needs to lose, well, more . . . So she's probably not camera-ready, even if she did want to make a comeback.
No, Harri, with her getting back to work, I meant non-porn related. I mean she certainly has the capacity to become a second Victoria Zdrok if she wants: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Zdrok Not everybody gets that full academic scholarship for rutgers university, and even few are mensa members. But if she DOES decide to go back to doing porn.....I would be the first in line to purchase those dvd's...even if they are crappy Vivid video's. I think she shouldnt do scenes for (MILF) web-sites; I think that it beneath her. She's just not the type for web-scenes, imo. Still weird tho, that of all the years that she has been in the adult entertainment business, that she needs to rely on porn fans buying memorabilia among others. I just cant believe that ALL the capital is gone....and that shes totally broke (as she said so herself on that blog of hers). I wouldnt be surprised if she -given her current situation- would escort now on the high -end for pamela peaks(or whatever) -like so many others in the biz. Money problems, alcohol problems, social pressure, tend to let people do things they would normally not do....even for those (read:Asia) who claim to have a "social phobia" to the extent that they dont want/like to shake hands of "strangers"/fanbois.
I'd like to see Asia back in porn again... internet porn, though. And I disagree... I don't think that "milf porn" is beneath her. If anything, it's perfectly suited for her. Let's be honest... she's no spring chicken anymore. - Swirlie CEO Swirlie Uncensored - My Porn Blog
I'm aware of that, lol...."web porn" in gereral-milf scenes or not (e.g. brazzers,bangbros,naughty america ect.) are beneath her, imo. Shes just not the type for that kind of "low-class" material, I think. She was one of the old Vivid superstars.... IF she decides to make a cumback, she should stay with Vivid or should stick with doing work for proper non internet related movie production companies....maybe elegant angel, digital playground and to a lesser extent evasive angel (altho scenes with rocco siffredi or nacho vidal would be neat to C).

IMHO, you guys are all full of it this time around. She's late 30's, 2 kids, admits that she needs to lose weight and is an alchoholic. I'm sure it'd get an overall reaction of WTF was she thinking returning to porn? A quick read of the blurb from the link provided by the OP indicates that the woman has some issues that really need to be worked out for her to have a sane life and all you guys want her to return to porn? Why don't you just cock the gun for her? I remember reading something from her at the time her hubby died several years ago, I think it was on this site don't remember. The overall jist of the article was that she was broke and desperate. The obvious solution back then would have been "do porn" but she didn't, so I'm sure she's not going to be returning now.

Over the years I've come to feel that she has become a bit manipulative. But that's just me.
If she really needs the money, then making the rounds on the internet sites would be a good choice. Sure, she can shoot for DVD's, but if she's willing to jump in feet first again... then not shooting for all those milf / porn internet sites would be leaving money on the table. In my opinion, working with Vivid would do absolutely nothing for her. Is Vivid even relevant anymore? This isn't 1993. I think they're dead in the water. The internet sites are where it's at now... from a performing standpoint. - Swirlie CEO
I think porn would be rock bottom for her. That would be the worst decision. I think the best thing she could do is write a book. Really, a bio on her career. Lets face it, she was one of the top girls during perhaps the most popular time for porn - the 90s. She was at the top with jenna and the rest of them. Im sure she has stories. Hell, just a couple chapters on her early and how she developed her education sounds like an interesting read. Then the porn. Jenna. Chasey. Peter North. Rocoo. Celeste. Nikki Tyler. Ron Jeremy. She could talk about porn then and porn now. Hell, i think it could work. It may not be the big seller Jenna's book was, but I think it could make her some money.
I'd read that book...but I'd much rather have the porn. What about something high end gonzo, say with Chris Streams or Elegant Angel? Mike Quasar (or Chris Streams) could make her look like a goddess again. Edited by - algaliarept on 4/18/2010 2:36:21 AM
wow, i haven't checked out her site in a long time. i have been a fan of hers since i was a teenager. sucks to hear what happened to her. on the other hand, she is well educated, and should really put her education to good use. i agree with the poster who said going back to porn would be a mistake. she really needs to get her shit together, it's been four years since her husband died. hope she can start turning her life around...

She only needs to do one more porn. INVASIAN! 5. She could do an IR DP gangbang, fetish domination lezbo scene with Charmane Star, 14 mope bukkake, and of course the traditional one on one with Jules. It can be done over the weekend, cut her a big fat check and be done with it. Her face is still as perfect as ever, and if she needs to lose weight, just offer her something with at least 5 figures and I'm sure she'd RUN from Utah to Van Nuys to drop the weight.
Christ, this is unreal. We have endless threads about the mysoginy and rough treatment of girls, the lameness and coldness of the sex, and you lot want to put girl who was notoriously vanilla through the ringer while she tries to get her life back in order. Some real heartless types here.

Mensa drama queen if you ask me. Manipulates her fans into feeling sorry for her, then solicts "donations" for her living expenses, then magically discovers late husbands life insurance policy? Yea right, I may have been born yesterday, but I wasn't born "last night". Total headcase that needs to quit drinking, take care of her children and get some therapy. Take responsbility for your life girl and grow up, we all are given difficulties in life... Edited by - chopchop on 4/19/2010 10:54:41 PM
