From hippie chick to porn star: An interview with Lindsey Meadows

By Troy Michael

Editor’s note: This interview was published earlier this year in Genesis Magazine

“I don't slam heroin, get beat up by pimps, or sell my ass for baby formula. I do however sell my ass for the well being of all you chronic masturbators out there. You’re Welcome!! It's my small contribution to the goodness of man and woman kind.”

Those are the proud words of adult film performer Lindsey Meadows. She is a product of Cleveland, Ohio and she never wants to go back there ever again. She survived drug addition, working at a restaurant and losing her virginity all by the age of 13. She had a tough upbringing, but she has no regrets because it has made her stronger, funnier, smarter and a perfect whore for the adult industry.

Like most performers, Meadows began stripping then made her way to California upon a meeting with Gina Lynn. Two years and over 100 films later, Meadows has become in high demand for features and gonzo work. The five-foot, 98-pound brunette has shown her range from feature films like  “Kung Fu Nurses A Go-Go” (Wicked Pictures) and “Brea's Mirror Image” (Vivid) to her gonzo work in "Real College Girls 15" (Hustler) and "Young Hollywood" (Adam & Eve).

I had a chance to sit down with the 26-year-old 32A-24-35 sexy star and talk about her thoughts on squirting, putting condoms on vegetables and George Bush jerking off.

What was it like growing up in Cleveland?

I had fun man, are you kidding me? I did a lot of drugs as kid and went to a lot of hippie rock shows. Everyone in our little group called me Wildflower that was my hippie name.

Were you one of those hippies who had hairy armpits?

Oh yeah totally. I didn’t shave my legs or anything. I was hairy girl up and down man.

How does a hairy hippie chick become a stripper then a porn performer?

Well that’s actually kind of funny. Like I said, I did a lot of drugs and I got sick of it. I weighed like 65 pounds and it was bad. So I locked myself in my house for six months and did nothing but smoke pot and eat to get clean.

Did you get clean?

Oh yeah, definitely. Then when I started dancing I had to shave things like my legs and pussy. It was funny because one time I was dancing and one of my hippie friends came in and saw me and couldn’t believe it. He said “Wildflower, is that you? I can’t believe it you shaved your arm pits.” He was pretty disappointed I think.

How long have you been off drugs now?

I have been clean and sober for six years now. I would have died if I didn’t. I won’t lie I still think about it every day and it fucks with my dreams. I still have fucked up nightmares because of the drugs. I see girls doing all these hard drugs and I would love to do it again but I can’t. I’ve seen what can happen and I don’t want to do that again.

Is that why you are really hyper now?

I am always hyper man. I think those drugs fucked up my head. It had to. I started doing hard drugs when I was 13 and that is when you are developing as a kid, so I think my development got altered by the drugs. I mean, doing tons of coke when I was 14, I battled paranoia and all of that shit, but you know what? I am glad I went through it when I did because I had time to get clean and start my life before it was too late.

Is it safe to say you were having a lot of sex as a drugged out hippie?

Oh yeah completely. I started having sex when I was 13 and I thought it was the greatest thing in the world. I wanted to knock it (virginity) out and get it over with. I was acting like an adult at that time so why not have sex like an adult.

Who was the guy that took Wildflower’s cherry?

Man it sucked. The guy I lost my virginity too was a boyfriend. I was over at his house with two friends and we went into the bedroom to do it. We were on a water bed and all I remember was the fish tank and watching the fish while he fucked me. Afterward my girlfriend spilled a jar of pickle juice all over his carpet and he kicked us out.

What did your parents think about their little girl being a hippie who was doing major drugs and sleeping around?

What parents? They were never around because they were always at the bar. My dad didn’t understand the hairy armpits at all I think it disgusted him.

I don’t think they knew about the sex and drugs though because I was working at a Chinese restaurant at the age of 13. The Chinese don’t care about child labor laws. Hell yeah for the Chinese. I also worked at a nursing home, at a plant landscape factory where I loaded and unloaded trucks with trees, bushes and sod. So my parents knew I was a hard worker. Then I started working in porn as an assistant buyer for a chain adult store. That led to stripping and I met Gina Lynn in Pennsylvania and here I am.

Now that you graduated to porn, are your parents cool with it?

Well my father doesn’t know and hopefully will never know. He puts the fear of God in me. If he found out what I was doing he would be out on a plane and drag my ass back home. He is a big fucking carpenter hillbilly and thinks I am out here waitressing at a dance club. But my mom knows, my brother knows and some aunts and uncles.

Since you danced in Cleveland did you meet a lot of the Indians baseball team or the Browns football team?

Oh yeah all the time. That is why they sucked so hard because the idiots would come in the night before a game and get drunk and watch the strippers. Then they would go try to play a game the next day tired and hung over.

Did you fuck any of them?

Well yeah, but not in Cleveland. There was this one guy who played for the Indians then got traded to the Anaheim Angels and we met up and I would fuck him a lot. He got traded like five different times. He must have sucked but he was a great lay.

Can you give me a name?

No, no not at all. I never tell about the athletes or actors I have fucked.

You’ve fucked actors? Was one of them Charlie Sheen?

No I haven’t fucked Charlie Sheen, but I think I would even fuck him for free. I heard he has a big cock and he is pretty cute.

If you didn’t make it into the adult film industry do you think you’d still be stripping in Cleveland?

Oh fuck no. I never would have stayed there no matter what and I never want to go back. I would probably be a vagabond stripping and traveling. If I had to pick a profession I would work in a nursing home again.  I am a whore with a heart.

Is there anything you would change about your career thus far?

It’s a weird business, but I love it. I think a lot of the girls are way too young coming into the business. I got in when I was 24, which seems about the right age. These girls don’t know their own sexuality at 18 or 19, hell I am just learning about the best sex of my life right now.

Coming into the adult business is a huge life change that will follow you forever no matter what and at 18 or 19 I don’t think a lot of those girls are capable of handling those choices. its a job, not a lifestyle and no matter what - it gets into your head and fucks with you sometimes.

Since you’ve been fucking since your teens, have you had a lot of strange experiences?

I don’t really know if I’ve done a lot of strange things really. I have had a lot of sex in public places. One of my first experiences in public is when I lived across from this junkyard when I was 15 and I took this guys virginity in the back of a rundown old car. I handcuffed him to the door handle and took advantage of him. I was such a whore.

Even though you seemed to be fucking everyone in the greater Cleveland area, where you a masturbator too?

Oh yeah totally, I stuck shampoo bottles and brushes up my hole. I had my fair share of produce lovers as well. But I was smart because I put condoms on everything I stuck up my pussy.

Damn, you’ve just about seen it all and done it all.

Yeah, I’ve pretty much done everything that I want to do. Now when I fantasize, I think about getting fucked in missionary position because in porn you don’t get to have close intimate sex.

What about cocks, are you a size queen?

Yeah I admit it, I love big dicks but I am an equal opportunity fucker. I will do the best I can with what I got to work with. Although, with fucking a big cock I can only fuck him for a little while because it’s so big it starts to hurt. But with the smaller cocks I can fuck those boys all night long and never get tired.

Have you ever done anything on film that you thought you would never do?

I had a girl piss… or excuse me “squirt” on my head in a scene once.

I take you think squirting is fake?

No not fake. I know girls can squirt, but they can’t squirt, say like Cytherea all the time with gallons of juice coming out. I’ve seen her drink bottles of water before a scene so we know it’s fake. Or some girls will do a douche with clear water and squirt it out during the scene. There are girls who can squirt but I think these film companies have taken it too far by making it fake.

Outside of the business, what do you do in your free time?

I like to be a homebody because I don’t drink and party much anymore. I spend a lot of time with my dogs Brian and Eric. I read a lot of books all the time. I paint, I craft and I am learning how to make pottery.

Like in the movie Ghost?

Yeah, I’d love to smear wet clay all over a guy and fuck him.

Maybe Patrick Swayze is free, but he’s got cancer, you might kill him.

Cancer or not I’d still fuck the shit out of him smeared in clay.

If you were invisible for a day what would you do?

I would hang out in bathrooms and I would go to like, guys houses I secretly want to fuck and see what they are doing. I would go to George Bush’s house and see him masturbate.
