I know about her twin sister being a model because I did some searching online to know more about Mia's life outside of the adult industry. But I think it would be problematic to post links to that sort of information, sorry. Yes, Khalifa is pretty much as good as it gets for success after porn and it's very rare for that to happen. Most adult models don't have the combination of beauty, good decision making and luck it takes to succeed in mainstream media after a porn career. Khalifa is very special. You bring up a good point about potential social media success for Mia, I didn't think of that.
I watched some of her YouTube videos and it struck me as odd how it basically was all about a girl looking hot and not much else. She needs a social media manager to make decisions for her about the type of content she needs to produce and please stay away from people that approach her with the hidden intentions. of having sex with her like the stereotypical perverted fashion model photographers that we always hear about in the news. She needs real professionals to guide her. She is ypung
I am not trying to be mean spirited or start any kind of controversy and only stating my opinion. I've always thought Mia was overrated. No question she is very good looking and her scenes are watchable but she certainly doesn't warrant the kind of following when you consider the minimum number of scene she has shot. In her YouTube video she comes across as a little bit of an airhead. If she is in fact done shooting porn, I wish her the best and hope she does well in her future pursuits. She would be a stunning plus size lingerie model.
As a performer she is definitely not special but that's easily defensible by being her age and having only shot a few scenes.
The reason for the following is that she is simply the best looking woman in porn today. I can confidently say that. If her whole body was an Olympic athletic performance she would probably get a 10 score for each part of her body from head to toe. I know that sounds like I'm a super fan but as an artist I'm very particular about physical form and facial detail and I think if I would ever sculpt a statue she would be the perfect model to pose for it.

This.
She was hyped too fast and too far. She's okay looking by the standard of other models in the industry, nothing special (cant get into details on this board), but she arrived at the right time with Vixen to hit it big. There really isn't anything about her that sets her apart from anyone else other than the hype and the delay in her scenes which has built up expectations for the people still following her. I've never understood the obsession with her, I don't want to knock anyone who feels differently, but it just doesn't make sense, imo.
^This seems to be a recurring theme on this thread. Every so often, someone pipes up and says something along the lines of 'I don't understand why she's so popular, she only did a few scenes, I think she's really overrated.' Then someone else (occasionally me) will respond with something along the lines of 'She's so unbelievably good looking, one of the best looking women in porn; that's why she's so popular.'
And repeat ad nauseam...
I entirely understand that some people just don't 'get' her appeal. I feel sorry for these people, because they are missing out on a staggeringly beautiful young woman. But surely it's a case of different strokes for different folks? I don't particularly rate her as a performer and I think she will ultimately prove to be a great 'what if' of the industry, but I will not be moved from my basic contention that she is one of the most physically attractive women to ever enter the world of porn. To just dismiss her, seems to show a lack of imagination. There are plenty of big names I don't particularly care for, but I can usually understand why others do like them.
Can't we just agree to disagree?

I think that's what we're doing, right?
It's why I added the line at the end about not knocking those who feel differently than I do because the reality is we're on the opposite end of the appreciation spectrum on this one. We're both looking at the same model, her scenes, and drawing polar opposite conclusions - I don't get it, and you don't get how I don't get it. But I can respect that we're in the same forest on a different path, much as I think you're doing, so it's all good on this end.
It's also why I don't post these thoughts all that often, too few people are able to disagree on something as subjective as appearance and stay calm about it. But it does warrant a mention, else we're stuck in the same echo chamber she is.
^ Like most people, young or old, she has moods when everything seems great and other times when it sux. That's normal! Nothing wrong with saying what you feel at any given time. As for young people not thinking ahead......well her whole 'career' and media presence seems to have been extremely stage-managed. The plan was clearly to dabble in porn to get noticed and some social media attention and then to use this to go onto 'bigger and better' things. Not sure how good a strategy that will turn out to be but it clearly is a strategy! She's a young woman trying to make her way in the world using whatever talents and assets she has and I kinda respect that.

^ Without knowing the terms, we never do, it's quite possible that everything started out great being associated with Vixen then went south. If she was trapped by a contract that was glittery but one-sided it would explain (a least partially) her disdain for the industry that brought her fame, the ridiculous delays in releasing her scenes, and the overall crash in her star rising. She went into it being sold a dream of fame and fortune only to realize that it wasn't going to happen and that she was now branded a 'famous' pornstar with no clear way to capitalize on it - surely a recipe for regret. Inept social media presence, no way to break out to other production companies, etc... seems reasonable.
Pitbull, I doubt anyone well versed in anything "social media" told her it's a good idea to post once in a blue moon, not promote herself, not engage her fans, or get political and pick fights...
As for having no way to capitalize on her fame, upsux, didn't she have a "private vids for sale" and an onlyfans account at one point? I remember people here saying she didn't post enough to make the subscription cost worth it and the one member here that did buy a video from her, it wasn't what they had agreed on or something. That shows that she could have capitalized on her fame but chose not to or didn't know how.

Most of the MV or OF sites that I've seen have been a desperate, half ass attempt to cash in without much thought put into it. To me it really reflects on where the performer is with their career more than anything else, it's sad usually. So hearing that Mia's attempt to use those sites failed makes sense to me. She got fed a load of sunshine, found out it was already past noon, didn't have the support network to stay on track so she tried the easy route and it didn't pan out. But that's all conjecture.
Ι don't disagree on that. However I put the blame on both parties because, while you're right and she could have been given a bad deal, how she chose to act on her own is up to her. She filmed, what 10 scenes in a year for Lansky? Nothing stopped her from filming on her own and posting it on a private account weekly or monthly even. If anything it could have been a good way to branch out with all kinds of sex she's interested in and build her fanbase away from Lansky. A fanbase she could use to prove her worth to other producers/companies/etc once her contract ran out and seek a contract elsewhere.
The more I look back on this, the more I think she believed she's secure and that it's up to Lansky to put her to work and do the heavy lifting so she saw alternate routes as a way to pass the time. As a result, once her contract ended she realized that her big name and fame wasn't hers at all. It was Lansky's backing and she was simply in it for a while. It would definitely explain her sudden "I quit!", "I'm a lesbian now", "I hate the porn industry and regret being in it" or the "look at me being innocent and taken advantage of" tantrums. She realized it's up to her to pull her own weight and just maybe, it's too late.
^Meh, I don't see her comments on the porn industry as a big deal. She's not making it really obvious to the point you could raise and eyebrow. Most of those comments are really"subtle" and you don't find them, for example, just by looking at her tweets or Instagram page. You certainly have to do a deep research on her social media and they're not that "in your face" and could end up ambiguous. I don't think she ever ranted about it on Twitter and you can only find those comments on her Instagram answering to other people. I also think those comments of her are like 2 :P
If Mia decides she doesnt want to be in the industry it is entirely her decision. Mia owes us as fans absolutely nothing. Lansky on the other hand does owe us as fans and this ridiculous delay releasing scenes is poor customer service.
If Mia decides to return it is her decision to make no matter what anyone else wants.
Lansky doesn't owe fans anything. His sites regularly churns out updates. Just not the ones you want. Your membership doesn't guarantee you have the say of what's released or not. Poor customer service? I don't think so.
obviously I am not the only customer that is not pleased with the non release ... companies actually should listen to what their consumers are looking for providing the request is reasonable...

I don't really follow her on social media anymore. But it seems to me that she coasted through her time in porn on her looks. She made no effort to interact with fans. She only got so much attention because of her looks. Maybe because if this, she thought why bother trying.
^^ Delays in releasing scenes is far more common than you perhaps realise. There are examples when scenes are not released in years - if at all! Waiting a few months is nothing in the scheme of things. Could just be that all the promotion from Lansky and making her Vixen Angel suggested that she might be the next 'big thing' only to find out that she wasn't as up for it as he hoped. Could just be that Mia's scenes have gone to the back of the queue as he's not going to get much more out of promoting her and increasing the interest. It's not as though she's got a potential Tushy scene in her which would have really been something and got Lansky a load of kudos and attention.
Delays are normal and Lasky doesn't owe fans anything (especially for a retired actress), you're right Beedebob. However if Mia had (has?) a big enough following and all those followers suddenly drop Lansky, he will realize that holding back scenes of a specific performer may just be in breach of their contract.
On the other hand, perhaps the queuing problem is with Mia's costars in those scenes. Sure, we care more for Mia but...

I don't know the inner-workings if these contracts, but is it possible that she was tied to Lansky until the scenes were all released, the relationship fell through so he delayed to tie her hands, and this brought about the regret she had for entering the industry since she has no control now?
^^ That sounds oddly controlling. Could be true though!
In that case however, instead of acting like a little girl lost, why not come out with that and out him (I'd say take it up with a lawyer too, but that might be too expensive)? If she's really done with the industry, why not burn the bridge? As it is, it sounds like she's trying to stay relevant and promote herself yet doesn't speak too harshly at her former employer.
I doubt she has ended with a bad relationship with Lansky. At the end, remember she was payed what she worked for no matter if her scenes are delayed for a year. She isn't getting money from those scenes regardless of what time they release, she got payed to do them at the moment.
Maybe you can argue that she wanted to get some following with those, but I doubt it. Remember she barely promoted her scene with Deeper and that was in May.
Honestly, it sounds more like she simply got tired of doing this.
Here's what I think: Mia actually wanted to be a mainstream model. She tried to get into it (apparently like her twin) she may got rejected because her body isn't exactly slim and she didn't fullfil what the agency was asking for, so she got mad at it, so her and her boyfriend (which at a time was using her social media since he wasn't careful) got the rebellious idea of getting into porn with the mentality of getting enough following to go into bigger and more accessible mainstream modeling agencies and companies. But I said she didn't think of it enough because she didn't realize she would get such big attention and following and would get instantly recognized and got doxxed and all that stuff that people were sharing her personal information and her family was getting harassed. All that was like a flash for her were things didn't went as planned. So then now that she is closely tied to pornography, she is getting a harder time to get into mainstream modelling because of her time at porn. I think part of why she never interacts too much with fans was for that reason too, she didn't want to get that known in porn. That's probably why she also choose Vixen. Because Vixen is seen as that "artful" porn and could get her into professional modelling since Vixen wasn't your typical porn, but it simply backfired. Things didn't go well and now she's trying to get into mainstream modeling but her big following is because of porn, and her known professional past is about porn too. That made her resentful against pornography and is a mistake for her because she isn't able to do what she actually wanted to do.
I say all of this mostly because of her latest YouTube video. The fact that she recommends girls to not enter porn if they want to get into modelling tells me she is saying it out of personal experience.
I read several pages of this thread and still don't understand all this hype about the appearance of Mia, when you write "the most beautiful woman in the porn industry" I get very confused, she is white, blonde, has blue eyes and maybe her differential be the height taking into account the pattern of girls entering in the industry. Maybe if she had more scenes off Lansky's site I might like it better and since Lana Rhoades retired from conventional porn she left a blank space where many saw in Mia the opportunity to put her there and a new girl that quickly makes the same impact that Lana made and this will still take a while, Lana is (for some here 'was' right?) beautiful and she was down for pretty much everything.
However, Mia's sister looks just like her and has a modelling career without needing/believing she had to go through porn first. Do you think a modelling agency would hire one identical twin sister and turn down the other? Besides, if Mia planned on using a porn created following to jumpstart another career, wouldn't she be interacting with those fans more?
I'm not trying to rain on your parade and I would agree with your theory but I have doubts.
^^ No need to be confused! It's simple. Everyone has their own version of what beautiful is. What you find beautiful others may not and vice versa. Nobody is right and nobody is wrong. If there are more people who find a star beautiful than don't you get this level of interest. The problem you have with Gia I have with a few others pornstars that loads of people seem to think are the cream of the crop.
The contributors here always seem knowledgeable. Do we have any news at this stage of any projected or potential release dates for her final two scenes. Thank you
No man. There aren't any news about that. Lansky and his sites never promote a scene weeks prior it's release. The only time you know something is coming is either 5 days before the scene releases guiding by the pixelated pictures to see if you can guess who is it, or 3 days before when the trailer for the scene is released.
Also, the stars never get a release date about their scenes. I assume they say "soon" because they just shoot the scene. But a lot of times it happens that a year can pass and the scene they shoot still hasn't released.
I suggest to not be too impatient or hyped about it :p it could be that the scenes turn out to be on the lower side of the vixen scenes. Even for their soft standard. I don't know about Mia Melano and Alex Grey lesbian scene, but if you want to make an idea of what to expect with her trio scene, look out for the latest trio scenes on Vixen like Caprice+Gabbie+Alberto or Naomi Swann+Talia Mint+Alberto. All directed by Julia Grandi. That way you can get an idea on how Mia's scene will be and wherever you will like it or not.
Reading the last couple of pages in this thread I think some of you guys should also try to accept the possibility that the two remaining scenes MAY not ever get a release! I mean who knows how many such scenes that Lansky have of other performers which has never been released. Once a scene is shot and the documents have been signed its the studio/producers property and they can do what they will about it, including not releasing it. Maybe the they didn't part ways amicably. Maybe both aren't on good terms now? And if Lansky does hold a grudge who knows maybe he won't release it? (Just a thought)
Yeah, while I agree Mia was one of the prettiest to do porn BUT definitely overhyped, she only did a few scenes and most of them were 'meh' performances...I do understand the overhyping though because she indeed was very pretty, someone blessed with a perfect natural curvy body and beautiful face which is very very rare. Like someone said, comparable to Lana Rhoades phenomenon and similar hype to her, but atleast Lana lived up somewhat of her hype and delivered some 200 scenes and was was a good performer in many regards. Mia on the other hand left the fans wanting.
Thanks for the link! The audio was a tad crappy for me but did someone get what the timeline was for the private videos with her boyfriend is? She said they filmed it for a private site of a friend but I didn't quite catch if that was filmed in the past tense or filmed as in "a few days ago" kind? Because she's claimed to be done with it all and filming privately isn't exactly that.
Also, considering she's technically retired, I have to wonder what the point of the interview was. She spoke about phobias, her summer job and her pet.

So if she's filming stuff with her boyfriend does that mean the lesbian phase didn't take?
thank you for posting this kill bill ... although I thought she was retired for sure ... now I'm not so sure a return down the road is not in the cards.. she doesnt seem as "sound" as she has in past similar interviews .. kind of thinking her boyfriend may be bad news but that's simply my thought
Judging from social media pics it looks like that interview was filmed approx Oct 6. So not that long ago.
She's filming for a site called addfriends which seems to be a new thing, but as far as I can tell, it will be something like onlyfans.
So she is among the ranks of the many girls who have left mainstream porn to film their own content and post on their own platforms. It's a good gig if you can get enough subscribers.
edit: I just noticed that her own agent (or whoever uploads his videos) spelled her name wrong in that interview link I posted. Wow.

not a drama guy or conspiracy guy or anything like that ... but this whole story from day 1 just feels as if something isn't quite right here ... maybe I'm way out in left field... and I hope I am ... hoping that all just goes well ..
To me it just sounds like she left the industry in a huff when her contract wasn't renewed and, letting her emotions guide her, she made her anti-industry comments. Then her bank account got low and maybe the only job she could find was that summer job she mentioned so she came back with her tail between her legs.
It explains her glossing over her past remarks, the out-of-nowhere lesbian phase (that clearly didn't last if she has a new boyfriend she's filming with) and her sudden back-to-social-media and interviews to try and revive her fame.
Like CanadianFan said, it's only a matter of time till she comes back to mainstream porn probably. She needs to get her name and face out there first once again.

She's up next on Blacked w/ Freddy Gong - apparently the beard heard your prayers.
^^^I suspect, if she is coming back to porn, she'll just stick to camming and stuff like that. That seems to be the pathway for a lot of very sexy girls who briefly dabble in porn. Look at Lana Rhoades and Kendra Sunderland; mind-blowingly hot but clearly not committed to a long-term career in the industry.
Also, she is/was very young. There's a reasonable case that 18 is too young to start shooting porn. She seems a bit flaky to me, but I keep reminding myself she's not even 20 yet.
^^Then again, maybe I'm completely wrong.
