LOS ANGELES—Angelina Moon isn’t what she seems. She might be a wood nymph one day or a seductive sorceress on another, or even role-playing Sailor Moon, her anime namesake. She showed up for the interview in a long, softly curled, platinum grey-colored wig, which contrasts oddly with her extremely youthful looks. One would never guess that the petite, pixieish Asian starlet is 40.
“All the directors kind of know me as the one that looks like she's in her twenties, but is actually forty,” Moon told AVN. “And then they get such a kick out of making other people, like, guess my age. That's like the funnest thing.”
She said that often, when being cast, agents slot her for MILF roles—a fantasy trope which she happily plays. But, when not busy shooting adult scenes for studios like MYLF, Brazzers, and Evil Angel, among others, this geeky gamer girl would rather be playing Dungeons & Dragons, working on her latest cosplay costume, or writing code.
As she told a follower on X recently, who asked what she likes to do in her free time, “Well, my current special interest is developing/coding a customized smartwatch component that is similar to the 'At a Glance' feature on Google, but utilizes real time live traffic data from a mapping API... But what pays the bills is sex work.”
Moon has a compelling idea for combining all her interests onto one platform with a Dungeons & Dragons-based video series featuring adult stars as players, not unlike the Dungeons and Drag Queens YouTube series from Dimension 20, which is followed by more than one million D&D enthusiasts. A friend and collaborator, the CEO of a popular cosplay fan show, would like to produce the series. Moon’s theory is that the series would be a great venue to introduce D&D fans and gamers to adult performers, as opposed to gonzo scenes for uninitiated viewers.
“They will adopt once they know something. Yeah,” Moon said of gamers and fantasy fans. “Once they understand, like, they won't be so hit in the face with just the sex part of it. Because it's a little like when they're just, ‘Here's a porn star and here's her having sex.’ Right? Immediately you're like, ‘Oh my God—three things in her butt!’”
“Like, wow. Whoa. It's like, let's get to know her first,” she laughed.
“Like even in the comments for the drag show,” Moon commented on Dimension 20’s series. “A lot of the comments were just like, ‘This is amazing,’ because it's bringing drag stars into the nerd world, the fan world. You're merging these two like fandoms and these two cultures together, and introducing them in a very welcoming, safe, approachable way. So, it's like, we're not bombarding anybody with anything.
“It's just like, ‘Hey, you want to know this person?’ You know, we're just showcasing their personalities,” Moon explained. “And it becomes less intimidating as a talent to go on this type of show, as opposed to a podcast, where it's just like, ‘Oh my gosh, are they’re going to ask about that?’”
The YouTube series, she hopes, will “be really lighthearted and just having fun, like less hardcore, intense gameplay.” Moon and fellow starlet Haley Spades will be networking at upcoming cosplay/fantasy and adult industry fan shows, to see if there’s interest in forming a pornstar party for the streaming fantasy quest.
“We're on a mission—we have a DM (dungeon master) that we can use, who has his own Twitch channel, and he knows all the different things... and we're going to be talking to a bunch of the celebrities that are there, you know, kind of seeing who's interested, who would want to work with porn stars, and also show them, we're normal people, too.”
Moon may be on to something. Anime site CrunchyRoll boasts more than four million paid subscribers, and with estimates of up to 40 million active D&D players, the avid cosplayer thinks adult adventures could be nuanced into another fun fantasy niche.
For fans who wouldn’t mind watching Moon in a hardcore scene; there’s the scene with Ike Diesel for MYLF, which was nominated for an AVN in January for Best Oral Sex Scene, or her appearance in Angels in Pantyhose 3 for BAM Visions/Evil Angel, which was nominated for Best Gonzo/Cinemacore Movie or Collected Release.
Lesbian lovers can find pansexual Moon in Sweetheart Videos’ recent comp title Lesbian Massage, where she joins Victoria Voxxx for risqué rubdown, and in a recent concept scene from MYLF Labs titled, “Who Would You Choose?” Moon is pitted against AVN Hall of Fame performer Brittany Andrews for a kitten/cougar showdown.
Her busy schedule makes it hard for her to find a consistent group of gamers for Dungeons & Dragons, but tech-savvy Moon figured out a hack for that.
“I've been using ChatGPT as my dungeon master. It actually works really well, because he knows all of the rules and everything. It's, he—the kind of campaigns that he comes up with are pretty effing good and I'm just like, this is so much fun,” she said.
