Whether fiddling in the garden, cruising around California on roller skates or kicking butt in the dojo – I am a woman of many hobbies. It only made sense to devote a new gallery to them all which will be updated regularly.
I hope that everyone enjoys these glimpses into my daily life, and I look forward to any questions or comments from fans and fellow hobbyists.
New Vanessa Chase Gallery – Hobbies Read More »
Earlier this week, AdultDVDTalk.com retweeted one of my posts, and we ended up having a DM chat. I’m still very new to the online adult world and wasn’t familiar with the site. But was not disappointed when I paid them a visit and saw I could get involved.
After scoping it out, and seeing the very active community there (not to mention a few references to Vanessa Chase), I decided to sign up and see what happened. Well, I’m very glad I did, because it has been the high point of my week.
Here’s the thread I started a few days ago, and I’ve absolutely loved interacting with the fans and other kind people who have reached out: Hello From Vanessa Chase.
Having Fun Over on ADT Read More »
While the adult business has become way more mainstream than in my 1990s heyday, there is still a definite stigma surrounding everyone involved, past or present. This is something we all have to live with, whether proud or full of regret due to the indiscretions of youth. Thankfully, I am able to count myself as the former.
So, obviously, one of the biggest consequences of having been a successful porn star is being recognized in the real world on a regular basis. And, in my case, almost every time I leave the house! Maybe it’s because I live in the porn industry ground-zero that is California, or am lucky enough to still resemble the younger version of Vanessa Chase which fans remember – but I am not exaggerating. Rarely a day goes by when I don’t get “the look” from some guy at Trader Joe’s, Target, or just walking down the street. I’m still even recognized when I’m masked up. A lot!
The funniest part might be that it’s so predictable. Always starts with that same look. The guy will just stand there with a sort of lustful and knowing expression. Sometimes I pick up on a sense of shame on their part, followed quickly by a quick shift to… superiority? But these are the worst examples and I’ve long since learned to shrug them off in favor of well-meaning fans I actually enjoy interacting with.
The most brazen of the disturbing, quiet “fans” might even follow me around a store, just keeping a slight distance, without ever confirming the recognition by saying “hello”. They want the eye contact, they want to talk to me, they want to tell me their desires and how they still have a copy of one movie or another on DVD – but rarely do. And they must realize how uncomfortable that is for me – but play it out anyway. Don’t be that guy, guys!
For years after I left the business the creepy, staring eyes used to bother me. At one point I genuinely wanted to do everything I could to erase my past. Because the business isn’t all fun and games. Imagine being an eighteen-year-old woman dealing with such adversity. Your brain doesn’t even fully develop for another seven years! No one leaves this lifestyle unscathed.
After over a quarter century of running away from my surreal past, however, I’ve thankfully come to embrace it. And, most importantly, I learned to stop caring what the weird men, with their judgmental and beady-little-eyes, think of the Vanessa Chase of today. In fact, I’ve stopped caring to such a degree that I decided to come out of hiding and make something positive out of a lifestyle that has caused negativity and suffering to so many.
My return to the public eye is truly on my own terms. I’m hoping to use modern platforms to spread positivity and love. And hopefully some guidance to the young generation of adult performers. I want to learn from the naïve mistakes of my youth, and make something great from this bizarre legacy that I have created for myself. If you’ve found IAmVanessaChase.com, you’re already along for the ride.

On the subject of Vanessa Chase on OnlyFans.com. As I’ve said before in a few other places since my semi-return: This isn’t just about OnlyFans (or making money from similar subscription sites) for me! Talk that with a grain of salt, but it’s the truth.
I’ve been having conversations with “every fans”, enjoying learning about the modern industry and reconnecting with a few people there, reaching out in multiple places, producing new material… written and otherwise (wink)… and OF is just one piece of the puzzle.
A lot of what I’ve been spending time on is technically “free” to fans, open to everyone, and you’ll even see photos/videos created for OF popping up elsewhere. I’m probably overthinking all of this, but it’s important I make that clear.
All that said, there are certainly advantages to being part of the Vanessa Chase OnlyFans account. But no one needs to get behind that wall if they want to say hello in blog comments, on Twitter or anywhere else you may find me with a new account. So I’ll assume that’s put to rest and go find something more interesting to write about. 🙂

Just before I entered the adult movie business, my boyfriend (at the time) got me a job as a taxi-dancer at a very old dancing-girl establishment in downtown Los Angeles.
A taxi dancer is, quite simply, someone you pay, on a song-by-song basis, to dance with you. According to Wiki, “The term “taxi dancer” comes from the fact that, as with a taxi-cab driver, the dancer’s pay is proportional to the time he or she spends dancing with the customer.” Remember that Tina Turner song? It’s like that.
Men would pay the other girls and I to (slow) dance. If they liked anyone especially they’d pay more to take you upstairs to a semi-private room to talk. Some guys were very polite, other guys would try to have sex with you right there on the dance floor. You quickly learned how to avoid the handsy perverts.
My very first night as a taxi-dancer, my boyfriend fell asleep and forgot to pick me up. Off to a fabulous start, to say the least. So I had to rely on the good graces of a random dance hall patron to take me home to Pasadena in his yellow corvette. He and his awesome car were, thankfully, both very polite.
A few years later I was very interested to learn that June Miller – author Henry Miller’s muse, fanatical obsession and short-lived second wife – had herself worked as a taxi dancer in depression-era New York City. Which, considering my own time as a taxi dancer, and especially what came soon after, is a very esoteric-coincidence.
To me, that is the very essence of what being an adult entertainer was all about. A long series of very strange events. Hope you enjoyed that memory and I look forward to any comments.
Update: Since writing this post, I actually found some Polaroids taken outside of the club in question! These are from before I entered “the biz” and I hope you enjoy them!

As I slowly dip my toe back into the modern digital world, as part of a long-overdue “comeback”, a Vanessa Chase Twitter account was a logical next step. If the ‘Big T’ is your thing, now we have one more place to hang out.
I’ll be updating it regularly and have enjoyed the many conversations I’ve already been having there with fans. I’ll also be saving certain new photos just for Twitter which you won’t find on the website, OF or anywhere else. And you may get tired of hearing me say this, but: yes – it’s really me and I will respond if you reach out! Unless, of course, you’re being a creepy creeperson.
In addition, you can now see my most recent Vanessa Chase Twitter-y tweets in the sidebar here on IAmVanessaChase.com. Hope you enjoy all the new (and Twitter-only) content. If you feel like dropping me a line – even better! See ya there, guys and gals.

So, I’ve decided to make a website after all these years. Surprised? Yeah, me too. Nothing to worry about, though. It was bound to happen sooner or later, and I’m jumping in with both feet!
I felt like it was about time to come out of retirement and have a go at this thing, on my own terms. What am I offering? I figured I’d offer brand new photos/videos, one-on-one fan interaction via post comments, possible business opportunities, fan requests, maybe an eventual store – we’re limited only by our imaginations, after all. If you’d like to cut to the “chase” (see what I did there?) the official Vanessa Chase OnlyFans is already up and running at full speed.
I’m figuring this all out as I go along, so please “bare” with me, bookmark the site and visit again soon. What else do I plan to offer on IAmVanessaChase.com? I want to make this fun for longtime fans and new friends alike. So I plan on doing erotic travel videos/photos, incorporating my hobbies (martial arts and rollerblading) in a fun and sexy way, vintage porn anecdote/ gossip, and frequent posts. Not to mention, all the attention is seriously very… exciting.
So, guys and gals, join me as I get down to business. Because I am the real Vanessa Chase, the genuine article returned at long last from the 1990s wasteland, and I am also most definitely back!
