I had a recent conversation with the very pretty Melody Nakai. We talked a little about her appearance in the upcoming Not the Cosby Show XXX. We talked a little about her relationship with Brian Pumper.
“We’ve been together almost six months, now,” she says, explaining how they met at a club.
“He recruited me,” Nakai adds.
“It was this club called The G-Spot. He gave me his business card, but I really didn’t talk to him. Two days later I ended up calling him.”
At first Nakai didn’t realize that what Pumper was talking about was porn. She thought it was a photo shoot.
“Later he explained it to me and told me what was going down. So I met up with him and ended up doing a shoot for him. Then we got together the following week. The first time we met up, we had sex that day.”
Nakai is asked what her first impression of Pumper was.
“I thought he was cute, but I wasn’t really looking at him,” she answers.
“I saw him and thought he was buff but I went on my way. I had never really been with a guy like him. This is the first time I’ve been with a guy who’s buff like him. He’s older, too, and that’s different. But I like him.”
The first time she worked with Pumper on camera, Nakai said she was more nervous than she had ever been in her life.
“It was with me, him and another girl. I didn’t know that until the last minute so I was extra nervous. But we got through it. It was a long day but I had fun.”
Pumper also writes music and Nakai’s asked if he’s ever dedicated any songs to her, that he should be immortalizing her.
“Not yet but I told him to write something about me,” Nakai laughs.
“But he kind of wrote a song about me and I wanted him to change it. It was a song about me and my best friend because he wanted to have sex with my best friend. He said he wanted to put it in a song and be sure that it was true. That was the only thing he wrote about me.”
Trying to start some shit, I suggest that Pumper should be making his girlfriend a contract girl.
"That's a good idea," she agrees. "But how does that work?"
"I don't know- you ask him, he's the director," I tell her. "I'm the trouble maker by asking those questions."
Nakai, who’s 20, is from Pasadena where she attends Pasadena City College and is studying child development. She works her classes in with her work schedule.
“I want to be a social worker,” Nakai explains, noting that she’s always liked kids.
“When I was growing up I had a bad relationship with my mom,” she continues. Nakai explains why.
“She had a boyfriend and he used to molest me between the time I was 11 and almost 17."
“That was almost six years- did you ever talk to her about this or discuss this with her?” she's asked.
“I told her when it happened the very first time, and she didn’t believe me,” Nakai answers.
“When I told her, she confronted him and he just denied everything and she just believed him. So my thing was, okay, if she doesn’t believe me I’m not going to say anything. And I didn’t for six years.”
Asked if she tried to avoid this guy at all possible means, Nakai said she did.
“Like every weekend he would get drunk. And every time he would get drunk, he’d try. But we never actually had sexual intercourse. He would come into my room and fall on me.”
By that she means touch-feely, but still it was pretty creepy and an experience you wouldn’t wish on anyone.
“I got counseling for that for about six months,” Nakai reflects.
“I had three social workers, so that kind of made me want to help other kids out.”
Nakai addresses the irony of the situation and the fact that she chose a career in adult, since it would seem to be the furthest thing from someone’s mind given her circumstances.
“I knew you were going to ask that,” she chuckles.
“Maybe I wanted to see how low I could go- I don’t know. You’d think I wouldn’t want to be around anything sexual.”
Nakai notes that her mother’s boyfriend has since passed away.
“So I don’t have to hear about it too much.”
Nakai remains in contact with her mother “on and off.
“But me and my dad are really cool- I love my dad.”
Nakai’s mother doesn’t like the fact that she’s in the industry, and her father doesn’t agree with it.
“He says I wish you would get another job but do what you have to do as long as you eventually get out of the industry. But he supports me and he’s happy. Whatever. More than my brother. My brother doesn’t talk to me at all. He found out about it in a bad way.”
“Next door to the beauty saloon I go to, there’s a barbershop. And he was there. The guys, I guess, knew I was in the business and they were talking about me. He overheard. Then he went next door to get me and asked me what I did. At first I told him I do modeling. He said he overheard his friends talking about me and that wasn’t cool."
"He cussed me out in front of everyone in the parking lot, calling me all kinds of names and everything. It was bad. I was crying.”
Nakai who’s been in the adult business since August, 2008, also talks about how she’s saving her money with the idea of opening a business later.
“And I also want to start up a website,” she adds.
“How is that going?”
“I’m still looking for someone to help me with that,” she replies. “We’ll see how that goes.”
Nakai, now with Type 9 Models, explains how she started out in the business with an agent named Damian. But the results were something more out of The Omen.
“He took my money, stuff like that,” Nakai says. She switched over to Type 9 a couple of months later.
Nakai says she was a shy kid.
“I never talked to anybody and I was very innocent. If I had sex I was with a boyfriend if I had one. I was very innocent.”
But not innocent enough, apparently, to keep her from having sex the first time.
“I was with this guy a couple of months,” she goes on.
“We just decided we wanted to do it, but it was in a weird way. We didn’t have the right place to do it. One day we were in Glendale and he said let’s do it in an elevator.”
“In Glendale you don’t have much of a choice,” I tell her. “It’s either an elevator or an Armenian restaurant.”
“Exactly,” she laughs.
“So we’re in an elevator, and I’m saying I don’t want to do this. This was my first time. But we put on the emergency stop and did it there. It was fun.”
On the other hand, Nakai thinks that porn has brought out her true freaky side.
“I never knew I was this way until I got into the industry,” she states.
One thing Nakai discovered was her like for girls.
“That surprised me. Okay, I did kiss one girl. We were drunk at a party one time and I kissed a girl. But I never had a sexual relationship with a girl until I got into porn and found out I liked it.”
The first girl she worked with on camera was Miss Cleo. That was for TT Boy.
“That was interesting, but it was fun,” Nakai recalls.
“I was kind of nervous and she was the total opposite. I’m a small petite girl, and she’s this taller, older lady. But I ended up liking it. I had a lot of fun. Then I ended up doing more girl-girl shoot. I think I have more fun doing scenes with girls than I do with guys sometimes. I think it’s because girls know how to please other girls more.”
So far, Nakai is enjoying her time in the business.
“It’s the best job I’ve had so far,” she reflects. “It’s good money, you have fun on the set and everyone’s very nice and very professional. I like it.”
When she’s not working, Nakai enjoys clubbing and hanging out with Pumper, her friends and going shopping or to the movies.
Nakai says her friends were shocked when she told them she was dating Pumper.
“They support what I do and want to go on set with me,” she adds. “They would never do it themselves but they’re always asking when the next shoot is.”
For the Cosby shoot, Nakai plays Vanessa, one of the daughters who winds up having sex with Tee Reel who plays Cockroach.
“We had sex in the living room," says Nakai.
"We were playing spin the bottle and one thing led to another. I’ve worked with him before so that was comfortable.”
“That shoot went on for a week and a half- it was a lot of fun. The whole cast was funny, especially ‘Bill Cosby’ [a lookalike comic who played him]. He impersonates him perfectly. He sounds just like him. He looks just like him. It was crazy, and I’m very excited for this show to come out.”
I had a recent conversation with the very pretty Melody Nakai. We talked a little about her appearance in the upcoming Not the Cosby Show XXX. We talked a little about her relationship with Brian Pumper.
