Hello everyone!
I'm Mina Leigh, a new Spiegler girl. I'm fairly new to the business and very new to Adult DVD Talk. To get a little glimpse of me, visit Shitty Advice with Tom Byron, Mina Leigh and Fox Magazine: Mina Leigh Interview. I'll be compiling a list of my movies over the weekend, so bare with me. In the meantime, you can google me.
Give me a shout if you want to chat, or if you need advice; some say I have a knack for that. =)
Ciao! - Mina

I already welcomed you to ADT on another thread, but it can't hurt to be welcomed twice, can it?
So, welcome to ADT Mina! God you're gorgeous.

Steph,
Yes, that's her. She changed the spelling so she could own the URL.

^The new spelling is probably better anyway because I know most people see "Lee" and automatically assume "Asian porn star" - in fact, I found an Asian model named "Mina Lee" on Google.

^Sorry, what are you asking about? Whether it's a bad thing that I found a model named "Mina Lee", or whether it's a bad thing that the surname "Lee" is associated by many to refer to Asian porn girls/models, or whether it would have been bad if people associated Mina Leigh with being Asian/assumed she was Asian had she kept her surname being spelled as "Lee"?

Yeah...I wanted the .COM, so I changed my name from Mina Lee to Mina Leigh.
Everyone, I have no idea when this is coming out, but today I did a hot scene for Kink.com / WhippedAss.com, so keep an eye out for it.

this one. is there some kind of racial prejudice for porn fans with ethnic sounding names?

^I'm still not totally sure I understand, but I'll have a go.
When you say "racial prejudice for porn fans with ethnic sounding names", I assume you're asking if there is some kind of prejudice by fans against stars with ethnic-sounding names.
The answer is yes. And no.
I think that what can happen is that fans will assume certain things based on a name, and depending on whether that thing they've assumed is to their desires or away from their desires, it might make them more or less likely to check out the girl. So, applying what I'm saying to this example, I think that if a fan is particularly into Asian girls, and thinks "Mina Lee" is an Asian girl and checks her out as a result, he/she will be disappointed to find out that Mina isn't Asian. Regardless of whether he/she would have been into Mina otherwise, now he/she just associates Mina with being duped, and is therefore not into her. (Of course this wouldn't happen 100% of the time or anything; but it would happen.) If a fan is not into Asian girls, and thinks "Mina Lee" is an Asian girl, they'll be much less likely to bother checking her out. And therefore potentially miss out on someone they may have been into otherwise.
If a fan doesn't care one way or the other whether or not a girl is Asian, then of course it won't matter anyway.
Neither of those two scenarios I described work well for Mina Leigh, which is why I said initially in my other post that it's probably just as well that she changed the spelling of her surname from "Lee" to "Leigh".
(Oh, and this doesn't just apply to Asian porn girls. Suppose a fan is totally into Euro porn. Then they might be more likely to click on a name like "Lucy Theodorova" than a name like "Brianna Love". Or a fan is really into the huge-busted women. They might be more likely to click on the name "Tiffany Towers" than the name "Amber Lynn". Conversely, if they're not into big boobs, they might go the other way. etc.)

That's funny that this is a racial assumption with names. I have caught wind of that from other people in the business. "Mina" has been my web alias for over 12 years and I got it from Bram Stoker's Dracula. The name "Lee" came from a close friend's name, that's not asian. I think "Leigh" is a little more fitting...like Vivian Leigh. It adds a touch of English, which I partially am, along with French and Cherokee Indian.

I'm not surprised to learn that Mina is one of Mark Spiegler's clients. He tends to represent most of the most interesting performers. I'd love to know how they so consistently find each other.
Anyway, a great choice by Mina and a great sign by Mark. Long may you both prosper!

i hoped this was the case.
i can see what killbillvol69 is saying and i understand that, but it's never been an issue for me, maybe because i don't discriminate based on race. sorry, it's just that that kind of thing still blows my mind.
anyway, the name mina reminds me of this great dracula-inspired song by cradle of filth.

ma meeshka - Wow - that's cool. I never heard the song; thanks for sharing. =)
And to answer Bob's question on how Spiegler finds his girls....I can only speak for myself on this...
When I first started in porn, I was with another agent, who I wasn't happy with. I'm friends with Joanna Angel and she actually suggested that I have Spiegler rep me. So, I called him up, met over seafood in Malibu and I was sold. Besides, he's a cat lover and you can't go wrong with that! He spoils his cat like I do mine!

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your interest and flattery. =)
I had an exhausting day on set, not because of scene, but because I was getting sick - no fun! The scene went well - a DP shoot with Ben English and Mick Blue (both great performers) for Zero Tolerance. Unfortunately, I started getting a cold, but the bad symptoms didn't really start until after the shoot - thank god. These are the days I remember that being a porn star is no walk in the park. It was a struggle to stay collected and energetic for the scene, but I did my best and everyone on set was pleased (and the dp was the easiest part of it all.). So now, I've got a box of tissues, some vitamin C and cough syrup next to me while I lie in the bed watching MAD MEN.
As soon as I find out more info about the DVD, I'll let you know. (Keep in mind, this is my second DP shoot.)
::Holding a shot of cough syrup:: Cheers!

I'm getting better today. Just needed lots of sleep. So I just found out that I'm doing a blowjob scene with Tom Byron tomorrow. Yay! He's one of my favorite male talent to work with.

Aww...thanks Dana! I look so young; I could definitely pass for a high school chick!
So I went to this Halloween party last night at Social on Sunset, dressed as a belly dancer. And yes, I was actually wearing the costume I perform in. So when I got there, no one else was around to walk the red carpet with me, so I went through the gauntlet of cameras alone - yikes! I'm still not used to all that attention; I was so nervous. Once I got in, I saw some of my fellow porn star friends, Charlotte Vail and Evie Delatossa. Evie couldn't stop kissing me! It was a shame I didn't go home with her. I briefly met the producer for the new porn Bewitched movie and I started thinking how fun would it be if they did an Adam's Family porn. (They already did the Munsters.) I would love to play Mortisha. (I could also be Wednesday, but Mortisha's so much sexier.)
Anyways, it was a fun party. As soon as I get some pics, I'll post 'em.
