Tonight while most of young Hollywood is out hitting the bars, clubs, lounges, restaurants and house parties, I'm at home taking a breather relaxing. Today was a VERY active day for me, but an awesomely productive day as well.

This morning I was up bright and early. I've actually been waking up quite early for the past few weeks now because I've really been enjoying my morning runs and hikes (eventually my hikes will be documented on http://www.modernhikerwoman.com as I explore more trails), however I was up particularly early this morning because I was booked to work for DT-Wrestling - a company that features sexy topless female wrestlers kicking ass. Nope - it's not porn - just sexy bad ass entertainment - check them out:

http://www.DTwrestling.com

So this evening at 6pm PST / 9pm EST I decided to broascast my first segment of "Monica Foster @ Home" - check it out on my BLOGTV channel http://www.blogtv.com/People/MonicaFoster

"Monica Foster @ Home" is all about my life as an adult entertainer, adult entertainment online technology, adult industry happenings and gossip, adult and mainstream movie reviews, dating, relationships, and just life in general. You don't want to miss it!

Initially I was going to make the broadcast just once a week, but screw that. I had so much fun chatting in a non-nude relaxed setting that I've decided to make this a DAILY broadcast! That's right - all my fans and friends can now visit with me 5 days a week at 6pm in a FREE chat on Blog TV! I'll probably wind up reducing the show to 3 times a week in a few months, but for now I have a ton to talk about so why not start strong out the gate.

I just realized a day or so ago that the Xbiz awards are not only in my city, but also only a few blocks from where I live (how convenient!) so I will definitely be attending.

As of current it looks as though I will be showing up with 2 friends, so I have a feeling I'm going to have a good time.

Now the big question that has been on my mind in regards to this event...at least until this morning was: "What should I wear?"

Well, being that it's just one night (and only a few hours at that) I'm definitely not buying anything new - that would be a waste - plus I have a ton of cute dresses already.

I've noticed that many porn talents go all out with fancy crystal encrusted dresses that look like they should be worn to the Golden Globes or the Oscars. Such dresses are pretty yes - but honestly I don't think they're appropriate...in fact I'll go as far as to say they look silly, stuffy, pretentious and come off as looking pretty lame and boring. These are the PORN awards we're talking about so why show up trying to look like a mainstream Julia Roberts type actress?



Being that I've been watching a lot of Hentai lately (adult / pornographic anime/japanimation), I've decided that I should wear a Hentai inspired outfit. I have one dress in particular which is PERFECTLY Hentai themed, sexy as hell AND comfortable so I'm wearing it. Actually considering that the only place I really could even wear this particular dress would be either this awards show, a fetish ball or a strip club as a dancer - I feel that I'd better wear it while I have the chance. I pulled some accessories to go with it this morning, so I'm all set now for Wednesday night!

I won't exactly be doing a Lady Gaga number with this dress, but it will most likely be a bit different from what I anticipate most other porn talent to wear :)



I will take some video and photos of the event to share with you all Thursday.

See you on webcam!

I'm technically writing this blog Friday morning, but according to my internal clock - it's still Thursday night.

I pulled an all nighter tonight/this morning because I was really excited and anxious to post online my most recent video interview with an incredible up and coming Alternative Scene model and Stage Dancer that I recently met named Tiffany Truth.

Tiffany works in a very interesting niche of entertainment. She's definitely not a hardcore pornstar, but she's not exactly vanilla mainstream either. She's one of the few entertainers who manages to walk the tightrope between the adult and mainstream, and I have a feeling if she can maintain her balancing act, she'll wind up incredibly successful.

I had the opportunity yesterday to photograph this interesting young diva (who could possibly teach Tyra Banks a thing or 2 about posing), and sit down to do an in depth interview with her as to who she is, where she's been and where she's striving to go...

It's so refreshing to come across a kindrid spirit who doesn't believe in limitations and who's strong enough to follow their dreams without holding back.

Enjoy :) (if the vids don't show up - view the interview on http://www.youtube.com/MonicaFosterOnline







More interviews such as this one will be coming soon on a new branch of the "World of Monica Foster" on www.MonicaAtHome.com

I had a GREAT time on LaTalkRadio.com 's "Unvanilla" last night - a show hosted by a good friend of mine Harley Fire and Baadmaster - if you'd like to listen to the archive from the show last night click here to download it.

This weekend was very "balanced". I managed to get a lot accomplished in all areas of my life. If I can manage to make the remainder of 2010 (and I'll take it even further - if the remainder of my life) mirror this past weekend, I'll wind up feeling and being a very happy and successful woman.

Saturday late afternoon I went on a hike with my BF - this was the first long hike I've been on since having that terrible flu (which actually may have been a blessing in disguise being that I don't have any real desire to smoke cigs anymore). It felt great to get the blood flowing and the fresh air in my lungs. I'm very fortunate to live close to Runyon Canyon park - it's a really great hiking trail.

Saturday evening my BF and I had a really nice night on the town - it began with a few tequila shots and closed with a fantastic modern (and tipsy) Thai dinner. 2 thumbs up yum :)

Tomorrow I'll be meeting with a couple of other women I know for a morning hike. Totally looking forward to it - getting in a good workout is great solo, but it's even better in the company of good friends.

This week I'll be working on my websites as usual along with being live on my webcam. I'm very excited about a couple of the new projects I'm launching this month and judging by the emails I've been receiving from those of you who are my fans and friends, you're excited as well :)

One of the projects I'm launching which has a focus on ethnic women in porn I feel will be very well received. I'm a little disappointed that I wasn't able to get more participation in the project from a few of the ethnic pornstars I approached - especially considering the amount of traffic it would have driven to their websites and such. I guess some people just don't think long term, or simply don't think at all. It's sad to see how so many woman in the porn industry live their lives as a common street walker listening to their suitcase pimp boyfriends or "managers" who don't have their best interest in mind at all.

I really don't have respect for anyone in (or out of) the porn industry who thinks being a "pornstar" means having an outdated website (or no website at all) and being a bargain basement hooker most of the month. That type of lifestyle shows no real effort at all, and basically says "Hey, I'm lazy as fuck and I've totally given up on trying to achieve any dreams I may have had or ANYTHING worth while for that matter".

Anyways, to end this blog on a bright note, I'm very excited about the new IPad. What an incredible computing device (and for such a great price!!!!!!). As soon as they are available for purchase, I will be getting one.

Today I feel about 80% back to normal from the flu. It's so good to be able to get back into my groove of working again.

Part of what actually kept my spirits up while I was ill, was my newfound interest in "Blaxsploitation" films. Coffy is my new hero (sorry Batman and Spiderman, you have to take 2nd and 3rd place now). If you're unfamiliar with what Blaxspoitation films are, check out the video below:



Pam Grier's work will be influencing my newest project "Mighty Afrodite" a bit.

So I'll be heavily on webcam this week for all of you out there who enjoying stopping by virtually and saying hello :)

I just found out that this Saturday I will be interviewed for a documentary on the adult industry, so I'm very excited about that. Then next Tuesday I'll be on a friend of mine's radio show - I'll post more details about that later.

Well back to work - I've got the techno tracks blasting and I feel locked into the matrix (aka my apartment), so see ya'll online!!!!!!!!!

Slowly but surely I'm getting over this nightmare of a flu I came down with over the past few days. I'm so grateful to be feeling halfway normal again. I'm also grateful that I was able to take care of myself in this situation.

As I wrote in my previous blog, this flu really made me realize that I need to take steps in only surrounding myself with people I can count on when the going gets tough.

When you live alone, falling ill can be VERY scary. Wednesday morning I woke up and knew that I was catching a cold - little did I know that it was going to go WAY beyond "common cold" into the full blown flu.

I know some of you reading this may say "oh boo hoo - little miss overly dramatic got the flu" - well in my case getting a cold, or even the flu is actually a very big deal because I'm mildly asthmatic.

Luckily I'm not severely asthmatic - mainly thanks to my mother who does not believe in traditional medical thought or practices (I actually hate even defining myself as "asthmatic" because just about every person I've ever known who's had asthma has been a whiney overly coddled little prick - I think my mother - who's mildly asthmatic as well felt the same).

Growing up, rather than telling me that I COULDN'T over exert myself my mother felt that if I didn't develop my lungs as much as possible through sports and other activities that required a lot of cardio type activity, that I'd be reliant on inhalers and such my entire life. I think that she was right considering that I rarely have had asthma attacks after the age of about 8 AND that I went on to hold the district record for the mile run for about 2 years in Broward County when I was a sophomore in highschool (I have a lot of endurance and yes I am bragging).

Asthma has never effected anything I've ever wanted to do in life which is great. I only realize that it's there when I catch a cold or a dreaded flu. Even being only mildly asthmatic when I get the flu, I can have severe breathing issues. It's rare for me to have too many problems, but if I don't watch it, my airways can become constricted enough for me have an asthma attack, which is not fun (of course it probably doesn't help that I'm a light smoker, but hey, no one's perfect. I have a certain degree of stress, but I am working on quitting. Actually after these past couple of hellish days, I can confidently state that I will never smoke again.)

The first day I was ill, I had a shit load of chest congestion and I felt a fever coming on, so I went into self preservation mode - I got to the store to pick up my "cold and flu kit" supplies (see my previous blog if you're curious as to what my kit consists of) before I knew things would get too bad. I got home, set up a big pot on the stove of water, and brought it to a boil to get some steam started.

As the day went on, I got worse and worse and at one point considered going to the emergency room, but didn't (it would have been pointless considering the wait I'd have to deal with - plus I knew no doctor could offer a "quick fix" - I just needed to ride it out). I knew from the past my best bet was to do steam inhalation treatments for about 30 mins at a time every 2 hours most of the day - so I did.

When I wasn't at the stove with a towel tented over my head inhaling steam, I was either drinking a ton of water & cranberry juice, with shots of cider vinegar (Sounds odd I'm sure but this flushes out your system of whatever is making you sick.) OR sitting in a tub of hot water with a little Vicks disolved in to help sweat out the germs (and get some more steam into my pipes to losen up the congestion).

Between doing all that and finding the energy to cook up some chicken soup with onion and garlic to eat, I was pretty spent. I couldn't really sleep, because I was having such a hard time breathing so I turned on Coast to Coast AM and the Phil Hendrie show and worked on my computer between doing everything I needed to do to get well.

This flu took me on a journey of chills - then hot sweats - then chills again from my fever, coughing fits and dizziness.

At one point I broke down and cried. Yep. Then I prayed. Mainly because I was so damn tired but I couldn't sleep because I couldn't breathe properly. I very felt alone and scared. I rarely feel really "scared" but these past couple of days I sure as hell did. Thank God for my little dog Panda - she helped me keep it together.

Finally after close to 18 hours of not being able to lay down due to not being able to fucking breath without either sitting in the tub or having my face over a pot of steaming water, the congestion subsided a bit and I was able to sleep sitting up for a few hours.

From Thursday to yesterday afternoon I felt just as bad, but I kept up with the same routine and drank a TON of liquids and ate nothing but soup, garlic and onions. After a nap yesterday (Friday) I woke up and felt a little better. I decided that was the time to de-germify my apartment.

I washed my linens, did my dishes, cleaned my bathroom, took out all my snot rags, and washed my towels. After doing that and doing another steam, sweat out, fluid flush and then feeding round I needed another nap. When I woke up I touched base over the phone with a good friend back in Florida. Then I worked on my computer a bit more and around 3am today I finally felt a million times better. Good enough to do some webcam shows.

The photos posted are from this mornings shows. I'm not 100% yet but at least I'm not dead.

Well from what I've heard (and of course I've checked weather.com on this) it will be rainy most of the coming week. Yes, for many Californians this totally throws them off but not me! I'm from south east Florida where a category 3 hurricane doesn't stop you from going clubbing so I welcome the rain here in dry ass, but beautiful southern Califronia.

Last night was a fun night of webcamming, as will be tonight and the remainder of my weekend, however my boyfriend got me out of the house today to Venice beach which was a ton of fun. I picked up (rather my bf bought me) one of those cute floppy sweater caps (I'll post a photo), which I plan on wearing well into the spring, and of course if I make it up in to the mountains to see the snow this season. It's amazing how something as simple as the right hat, can add to your life :)

As many of you, my readers, fans and friends know, Monica Foster has pretty much wrapped up her career as a porn talent, but will continue as a webcam girl, online "personality" and hopefully adult content producer/director. The woman who created "Monica Foster" I feel (even though I'm tooting my own horn a bit but justifiably so) has a pretty bright future. However, I can't stop to think as to where other porn talents will wind up considering this industry "slow down" which has almost turned into a "stand still".

I had a conversation about this with someone recently, and I suppose as a porn talent, though you options may be limited in some individuals views, if you're a forward thinker you options are "limitless".

As I've said in the past the most important thing is to do as an entertainer of any sort is to have your web presence going on. The web really is the gateway to the world, and even though the US is in economic crisis, other countries are not, and with the web, you can reach markets in other countries all from the comfort of your own home. I suppose what separates a "limited" mindset from a "limitless" mindset is simply a person's drive and motivation.

www.MightyAfrodite.com is very close to launching. Ms. Afrodite will be bringing up a lot of subject matter that I wanted to touch on as Monica Foster, but couldn't. Why? Well you'll have to check out the site to find out.

One thing in particular I will be touching on will be what it REALLY is to be a woman in the porn industry: the mindsets and motivations behind what propels someone to take the leap, along with the motivations of those behind the scenes who push those who become the true "porn stars".

One of the primarily reasons I love the porn industry, is the psychology which is behind it. The psychology of the performers, those who work behind the scenes AND the viewers.

I've noticed the MAIN problem with porn, and why it's "dying" is due to the "porn powers that be" not allowing the public to really get to know the performers. I'll tell you right now why that is right now: FEAR. Think of the "porn powers that be" as being the most ANGRY and BITTER people at your highschool reunion. Yes - I said it.

Most performers are kept in a "dream state" , whether it be by those around them blowing smoke up their ass or pushing powder up their noses. VERY FEW porn performers do what they do for reasons that they won't regret. I'm bold enough to state that I am one of the few. www.MightyAfrodite.com will explain why.

I'm under the impression that those that feed off the talent in the entertainment industry as a whole have the goal of keeping their talents/clinets from ever realizing how successful they truly are. Most performers have no clue as to how much power they actually possess or how "famous" they really are until they sober up, look around and find they own nothing from their efforts. It's sad.

I thought I knew a lot as an exotic dancer, I thought I knew even more as a webcam girl and then I thought I knew it all as a "pornstar". Since making the choice to stop performing as a porn actress I've learned so much more that I'm surprised my concept of reality hasn't shattered. Funny thing is that I've realized that the vast amount of info I've stumbled upon in reality is just a very narrow glimpse as to the true "big picture".

Anyways, I have enough insight and material to keep me rambling on about the realities of porn, sexuality, relationships, and life for ages. Buckle up bitches because 2010 is gonna be a wild, fun and eye opening ride.

It's been a while since I've blogged, which is a bit unlike me (well at least unlike "2009 me"). I've been taking some time to really settle into 2010, which so far has kicked off to be a very happy, positive and productive year. Here's an update as to what's been happening in my world as of late:

*I had a fantastic New Years eve and New Years day. Then I had a GREAT birthday on the 7th. 31 feels pretty good.

*I've been making a point to get out to exercise at least 3 times a week - mainly hiking. This week I'm going to try a different trail west of LA.

*The past couple of days I've had a few overnight house guests (long time friends of mine), which has been an interesting change of my daily flow.

*Between working online, developing my new projects and the surge of activity that I've experienced since the first,I've been really enjoying life's fast pace.

*I need to change the front photos of my website due to the holidays being over. Hopefully I'll get that accomplished by the end of this week, we'll see.

Life feels pretty mellow right now and surprisingly stable - it's a nice state of being to finally have reached.

I'll be on webcam most of the week, so see you online!

The Holidays - (namely Christmas) and the "post holidays" (4 to 5 days after Christmas) are always weird when it comes to the level of communication you have (or at least that I have) with my social circle. I understand that a lot of people go home for the holidays to reconnect with their family or loved ones, but why does that mean that they have to virtually drop off the face of the planet in order to do so. I'm going to have to expand my social circle in 2010.

Someone told me recently who just returned to Los Angeles from the holidays, that they're glad to get back to their "real life" here. It made me wonder how their "holiday family life" isn't a part of their "real life". I personally think that type of compartmentalization isn't that healthy - but then again who am I to judge.

I suppose I think as I do, because in the past - years ago - I compartmentalized my life to such a degree, that it left my personality and overall being pretty fragmented. I felt as if the parts of my life that I didn't share with others that I felt close to resulted in me essentially lying to them about who I am as a person. Once I decided to stop living in multiple "worlds" and blended all of my worlds together I felt much more whole, complete and truthful.

Some people didn't like parts of my world that they found out about, and decided not to be a part of my world anymore, but those who stuck around I realized would always be there for me.

Tomorrow I'm finally going to go and see that movie Avatar. I'm VERY excited as I LOVE sci fi movies loaded with special effects. This particular showing will be in 3D. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a rainy day here in Los Angeles this afternoon, but I'm glad because that means that it's probably snowing in the mountains. I'm determined to get up to the mountains this year to see snow for the first time. I want to build a snowman or maybe a snowavatar.

Usually this blog is about me, but today it's not.

Mahlia Milian, a promising and beautiful young African-American porn starlet, who I had the pleasure of knowing, has recently left the porn industry due to personal issues - namely a pregnancy, which she's had to go through all by herself.

She could really use your help in the form of donations since giving birth to a beautiful baby girl in November.

Click here to read Mahlia Milian (Nyesha's) story and to make a donation to her and her child via ThePinkCross.org

***Side note: It's amazing to me how so many porn industry professionals who know of and/or who have worked with this young woman (and who have probably made quite a bit of money off of her efforts) - and who love to bitch and moan about how the porn industry needs to be "saved", have not come to her aid.

I really hope that Mahlia's past agents have enough of a soul and conscience to donate to help this young woman and her child. Plenty of industry professionals have enough connections and means to hold a fund raiser in support of Mahlia so that she can start a new life, so I hope that someone steps up to the plate and does the right thing.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

This year I'm solo on Christmas, but in the grand scheme of everything, not really. I've had some great holiday phone time with my family and close friends which I'm very grateful for. Plus I have my little dog Panda and my everlasting (15 year old) bird Peaches who are the best holiday and everyday companions anyone could ask for.

As I write this, I'm toasty and warm in my apartment, I have the holiday pop/rock station via Pandora.com blasting and I'm enjoying a morning mimosa. The weather is cold out here in LA, but it's a beautiful crystal clear day.

I think I may go for a little walk later on and I'll be online this afternoon and evening on webcam for all of you out there who want some sexy holiday company.

2010 will be a fantastic year, but 2009 ain't over yet so make the most of it everyone - I sure will be :)

Happy Monday everyone! I'm in a very motivated and upbeat mood today and I hope all of you are as well.

As 2009 comes to a close, so many things in my life are tying up and wrapping up as nicely as the Christmas gifts under the tree of a Hallmark Christmas card.

A few blogs ago, I wrote about feeling frustrated about not going to AVNs this year. At the moment I no longer feel that frustration because it's just not that important. I have so many projects on my plate that I want to kick into high gear that they far overshadow much of anything else.

As "Monica Foster" retracts from "pornstar" back to "webcam girl and internet personality", I've been wondering whether or not to merge "Monica Foster" into some of my new interests.

A part of me has thought that maybe I shouldn't being that some people have certain "ideas and stigmas" about adult entertainers - but then after really evaluating this delima from all angles, I thought to myself "since when does the woman who created Monica Foster really give a damn about what anyone thinks?" - so I'm taking a big leap (of faith) and making the merge.

I invite you all to start following (bookmark these sites) my new blogs:

http://www.GettingOutOfPorn.com

and

http://ModernHikerWoman.blogspot.com

Now you may say to yourself, "How in the hell does getting out of porn have ANYTHING to do with hiking?" Well, you'll have to read and keep up with the blogs to find out now won't you.

The woman who created Monica Foster IS a little crazy (by our society's rigid standards), but creative as hell. She does have many "personalities" which will be manifesting themselves as "characters" in one of my ventures which will be launching very very soon so buckle up.

I do hope that all of my fans and friends out there find this venture entertaining, insightful and inspiring.

Once again, I really want to thank all of you out there, especially my blog readers, for all of your support and feedback in relation to Monica Foster over the years. Without you, the woman who created Monica Foster would have thrown in the towel a long time ago. Your support helped me realize that I'm not a quitter and that I'm much more capable at finding success in life than I ever knew.

I thought I came out to Los Angeles to become a pornstar. Instead I became a life star.
