Hi Callista. Glad we could find time to get together and do this interview. To start with where do you live?
I live in the Midwest, USA.
How tall are you? Weight?
I am 5'6 and weigh 116 pounds.
How did you first get introduced into the porn industry?
A friend of my offhandedly mentioned once that I should do a website. I didn't really know what was out there at the time or what was involved so out of curiosity I did some research and decided that it sounded like fun, so I tried it. I was right, it's lots of fun!
Do you have another job?
I haven't had any other jobs since I started working on my site and thankfully haven't needed to so far.
So, you have a NN site. Why haven't you gone to topless or nude?
When I started my site, NN was still a viable business choice, there were plenty of NN girl sites out there, maybe hundreds. Today there are hardly any true non-nude sites at all since the 'fad' seems to have worn off. It's always been more difficult to market this kind of site when there are countless others that offer full nudity. So many of the girls that used to be NN are now topless and some have gone hardcore. They've followed the money. By being creative and consistently updating my site I've managed to maintain my status, and pushing the envelope at times also helps. ;)

What do people say or how do they react when they find out what you do?
So far no one that knows me is aware of my site or at least hasn't mentioned it to me. People online that I may meet or talk with either think that it's cool or are indifferent about it.
Where do you see your career taking you?
I see myself continuing in the adult industry even after I've stopped updating my own site. I already have several other adult sites running that are not connected to callistamodel.com at all with more in the works. I really enjoy working in this medium.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
What's that? LOL! Honestly I don't have that much spare time. I do everything for my site except the camera work (which I've tried, doens't work that well). When I do have free time I try to catch a movie or play some of the games I've had sitting around here waiting to play. When I can I like to go out and dance too.
What do you like most about doing your site?
Teasing. It's just fun for me I guess. I have the most fun during the shoots, stripping and getting sexual. I've done some special sets and videos with some toys of my photographer and since nothing is simulated the sex is real (even if you can't see the fine details of it). Sex is always good, I love my job.

How much do you participate in your site?
Other than the photography I do everything for my site. All the design work, html and coding, updating and management, video editing, promotion is my work. If you see it at my site then it's done by me (good and bad). I have a forum and blog, both I've created and maintain. I do all my posting at any forum I'm in, no one 'poses' as me for any of that. It is a lot of work to do on your own but at least I can say that I did it.
What does your family and friends think of your profession?
No one around me knows that I have a sitez (that I know of at least). If they were to find out then it's something they would have to accept because I will continue doing this as long as I'm happy with it.
What was your first photoshoot like?
Nothing to write home about! I wasn't nervous since my photographer is a close friend, but neither of us knew what we were doing yet so it was awkward, which you can tell in the photos.
What's the toughest thing about your job that most fans don't even think about?
Running an entire website, especially on your own. It's a very time consuming process and there is a lot of work involved that is never ever seen.
