LOS ANGELES – Many women deal with a fading marriage and an empty nest by taking up a hobby. Delectable European-born MILF Ivy Blonde coped by first becoming an exotic dancer and then a porn star.

Today Blonde’s youthful face and body headline her official website, where she does her best to drive fans into fantasy overload.

YNOT.com: How did a very traditional mother and housewife become a bombshell?

Ivy Blonde: I was married for many years and have one beautiful, extremely hot 20-year-old daughter. For around 10 years, I have been a liberated woman. I love fitness, dancing and stripping. Right now I am working on improving my pole-dance skills, especially as it has been proven to have a positive effect on every woman’s health and curves.

You are a relative newcomer to adult. How did you get into the business?

I meet lot of new people in connection with my dancing and stripping, as well as tons of communication in connection with fitness and yoga. Therefore, I met many photographers working in the business. That’s the reason I got several interesting offers to pose for sport clubs’ bikini calendars as well as for some local lingerie and bikini magazines.

Immediately, it became a base for new offers and challenges, as the photogs saw that I have much more hotness to show. So, I did my very first nude shoot. The photographers I worked with, as well as my friends, suggested I should try to join the adult industry. Besides some individual work and projects, I decided to cooperate with the Dreamnet adult network, which created my site HotBlondeIvy.com.

What was your first shoot like?

I remember my first nude like it happened yesterday. I posed in a professional studio and played two different scenes — one wearing a white pair of beautiful lingerie and high heels, and the other in black.

At the end, no surprise, nothing was left on — like is supposed the case to be in an adult shoot!

What have been the highlights of your career since then?

That’s a good question. For myself, every successful shoot that my fans find tasteful is a big success, as nothing can bring me more emotions than the appreciation and compliments from my fans that come after each hot new photo or video set.

From another site, not in connection with my own site, I participated in several bikini contests with great results. The biggest success was my participation in a national Sexiest Ass Contest, where I was selected for Top 50, and then a national vote brought me to the Top 5 final.

You mentioned that becoming divorced has allowed you to explore your sexuality. How?

It’s very simple. While we were married, my husband gave me no appropriate attention, only drinking alcohol most of the time.

I didn’t have time to take care about my body and looks. All my time was spent in the kitchen and raising my daughter. That was a reason to start a new life.

So, after my divorce I worked on making a new, hot body. I worked out almost daily in different forms, especially to achieve a firm ass, juicy tits and legs, all the better for dancing.

Working out and stripping gave me confidence and a very special, incredibly powerful feeling of being strong from one side, but very sensitive and desired from another. That’s a reason to make yourself hot and sexual!

What is your day-to-day life like? Do you perform in adult full-time, or is it something you do after work?

It’s a kind of a mix. It depends on the time I have for one or the other business. Anyway, it’s not adult full-time yet.

The industry is full of newcomers, and it’s never easy for anyone to enter a business and get immediate attention and success. Plus, it’s a serious decision and you need to know in what projects and themes you would love to participate.

For me, adult full-time has to be connected to some serious contracts or projects, as I am not 18 years old anymore. It is difficult for an older woman — without being very popular and without a serious employer — to be full-time self-employed in the adult world.

Would you like to become a full-time porn star?

Well, it all depends on projects, proposals, challenges and the offers I have in the future. I am accustomed to working hard, and it’s never a problem to do my best in front of a camera. I definitely would love full-time work, but there are mandatory conditions: It must look very hot, tasteful and must bring quality. Plus, I hate perverted themes.

Has working in adult changed your attitude about life?

Definitely, and the main reason for the change is communication. It’s a way to meet new people to find out new things, new experiences and something never seen, participated in, or felt before. I love to learn new things, travel to new places, and it is something I discovered for myself.

What are your future plans?

To work hard — it’s my way of life in the fitness room, on the dance floor, in the studio, everywhere. That’s the only way you can maintain your body in perfect condition so that it will help your projects, and not only in adult world. You should never stop.

And you should never think you look or stay perfect. Nobody is perfect. It’s a lifetime of games and a lifetime of fighting — for your looks, success and to be lucky.
