Riley Reid is one of the most recognizable names in the adult entertainment industry. But before she was a top-ranked porn star, Riley studied psychology, worked in a barber shop, and became a stripper. In this interview from May 2019, we talk about what it’s like to be Riley Reid, her love of vintage clothing, and how she went from an unknown stripper to one of the most popular adult performers of all time.
On Being Riley Reid:
When asked about how it feels to be so famous, Riley says she still can’t believe it sometimes. She never expected that anyone would recognize her outside of the adult entertainment industry. “I always thought I’d just stay on my own little island,” says Riley. “But here I am.” She also talks about how strange it is for people to recognize her face but not her name. “People will come up to me and say ‘Hey! You’re that one girl!’ And I’m like ‘Which one?’ It’s always funny.”
Riley’s Armpit Hair:
Riley recently made headlines for an Instagram post showing off her armpit hair—a bold move in an industry where performers are often expected to shave their body hair or wax regularly. When asked why she decided to let her hair grow out, Riley says it was just something she felt like doing at the time. “It was just kind of spontaneous,” she explains. “I was like ‘You know what? I’m gonna do this.’ And then everyone freaked out!” Despite some negative comments online, Riley stands by her decision and has no plans on shaving any time soon.
Riley’s Love of Vintage Clothing:
It’s no secret that Riley loves vintage clothing—she even wears cool, retro fashion on her website! According to Riley, there’s something special about wearing clothes from decades past. “There’s something really nostalgic about it,” says Riley. “Plus everything fits better too!” When asked if she ever finds herself having conversations with other people who wear vintage clothes, she laughs and says yes—but only when they realize who she is!
