Unlike those who back into the adult industry by chance or accident, Summer Day has wanted to be a porn star since she was 14. “I waited and went to college until I was ready, and I’ve loved every second of it.” Her freethinking parents “were artists and hippies. Dad was a bachelor, he had Playboy books and posters around. I’ve had Playboy posters in my room since I was little. My parents both know. They weren’t surprised.” She got an AA degree in art before taking time off to model. “I can go back to school later when I decide what to do.”
Her best friend (“She shared a tattoo with me”) recommended an agent to her after a modeling gig Day was applying for turned out to be porn. “She sent me over to them, because she knew I was always interested in it.” Day shot her first scene with Seth Gamble. “I loved it. He was super nice. It was a lot of what I expected, but there was more stopping. I love being on camera. I knew I would love it. I feel like when the camera is there I come more alive.”
She keeps a notebook of her scenes, and one of her favorites is for Mike Adriano. “That was my first anal scene. When I got in the industry, all I wanted to do was anal. I lost my anal virginity before I ever had sex. I’ve just always loved it. I was excited for that shoot and I’ve always wanted to shoot for Evil Angel. I really love that scene.”
Recently, she was part of a five-girl squirting gangbang for Elegant Angel Productions. “We had to stop and wipe it down. It was one of the wettest shoots I’ve ever done. We almost slipped just walking on the floor.” She recently shot an IR with Isiah Maxwell for Lethal Hardcore and an IR anal for Dogfart Network with a new talent named Dredd: “When I saw how big his dick was, I was afraid it wouldn’t fit in my pussy. I killed the scene, but the next day I felt like I was hit by a bus. ...
“I’ve always been sexually inclined, you could say I’ve been slutty at certain times. But I’ve always been empowered by sex. I like porn because it empowers women. I can say ‘No’ or ‘Yes’ to anything. In this industry I’ve never had to sleep with someone to get somewhere. I enjoy every scene I’m doing and I get paid for it, but I’m also respected. I feel more respected than any time I’ve been a waitress or a sales associate.”
When asked what she likes about the adult industry, she says, “The fact that I get paid to do what I love most: Cum.”
Her words to live by: “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”
