confucy

Asia has not been lucky in love, but then she met health guru, Don Lemmon, and her luck seemed to change. She left porn, had a daughter, and is now pregnant with a son. She was so happy...then her husband died near Las Vegas in his jeep.

I have followed Asia's career since 1995. I had her banner on my babe.net site for years. One day she contacted me and asked, "Why are you sending me traffic?" I told her I was just a fan, and I still am.

Asia, my prayers are with you and your children.

that's so sad

I read that on GFY. So, so sad. She seemed to have finally found complete happiness. She will have 2 beautiful children to remind her of his love for her.

confucy

Asia was into the stock market, and I was told she made more money investing than she ever did in porn. Her husband was doing quite well in the health/fitness business with his products.

Then why didn't he have life insurance? Why is she accepting PayPal donations? Asia is in the top five of porn stars when it comes to brightness. She is MENSA, and she has done all the technical and design work on her websites by herself since day one.

We backup our hard drives, but we don't backup protection for our families.

Peaches

I suspect panic is driving her request for donations. If she has the money invested, she might not be thinking clearly due to the suddeness of the situation. Supposedly I told my RE agent hours after my son died to put my house on the market. I barely even remember her being here. Apparently I said a lot of things for the first few weeks that made no sense.

But to not have life insurance when you have dependents is foolish. I hope she goes out soon and purchases one on herself.

The death of a loved one puts you into a tailspin.

Plus, your hormones are going crazy during pregnancy, and try taking care of a one year-old child during a tragedy. I loved her Hawaii home, but she said on her site that she and Don didn't like the school system there, so they moved back to the mainland.

So many people are saying she can go back to porn. SHE LEFT PORN TO HAVE A FAMILY. Why on earth would she want to return. It will take months to get her baby weight off. I would rather see her working in the computer industry...not the porn business.

I don't like to see mothers of young children working in porn. Asia feels the same way, and she left porn. Who wants to go back to a porn past? Asia needs to go forward.

I wonder if her last boyfriend, the guy from London, will fly over to see her? I thought she was going to marry him. He was having VISA problems, last I heard.

I hate seatbelts.....wonder if Don Lemmon was wearing one? The facts will eventually come out.

What a mess.

PeteT

It's such a sad story and when my wife gets home, I'm going to give her one of the biggest hugs I've ever given her because it's so damn easy to loose the ones you love..... I'm gonna count myself lucky.

On the flipside - did you read her FAQ - Its quite the interesting point of view.

Hell Puppy

Sad indeed...

But I'm also amazed there was no insurance. I'm also raising an eyebrow at an apparent lack of money. Maybe she's just panic'd and doesn't have a lot of liquidity.

Normally, finding out someone who has made millions in this biz has something bad befall them and they are found to be broke and with no insurance would not surprise me. Any of us who have been around a while can name quite a few people who have snorted, gambled and generally pissed away millions of dollars.

Surely this is not the case here. Surely she's way too smart for that.

magicmike

Wow, very sad.

Normally I wouldn't give a shit since I didn't know him and I don't know her but this is kinda sad. She is one of the few smart pornstars and has made a lot of us a lot of money especially back in the earlier days of porn. Plus she was so happy about her family and kids that you couldn't help but be happy for her.

My condolences go out to her.

I agree. I was at Cybernext yesterday and told Brittany Andrews about what happened. She said that it didn't sound like Asia to be asking for money, because Asia is smart and together.

Has anyone seen the police report on the accident?

I feel that she left porn physically, but not emotionally. She kept the website active and updated, which speaks volumes.

At this point the website has little to do with porn. It's a community, it's her electronic circle of friends. That's why she's updating it heavily right now when most people probably wouldn't think of looking at a computer. That's her comfort zone.

Few people in porn, where most fleece their customers, will ever see or understand the power of such a community. Closest we come to it are boards like this where we all kinda "hang out backstage". But trust me, it can be done with an amateur site...or in this case a porn star site that has many attributes of an amateur site.

very sad story indeed

It looks like her fans and *circle of friends* are sending her PayPal account some money.

http://www.asiacarrera.com/bulletin.html
06/12 - Trying to pull myself together and take care of business today, put Don's bank accounts on hold (his ATM and credit cards are impounded with the destroyed vehicle and I don't know who can get to them), talked to some of his business partners about trying to keep his business continuing without him somehow, and I made a down payment on a nice little used car with a new car seat for Catty so we can get around town and try to take care of things the best we can. I'm using the money in the paypal account to buy this car, so I thank each and every one of you who donated money from the bottom of my heart. Please, if you can spare it, I have no pride, I'm scared and I'm asking for your help - please donate a lot or a little to me, Catty, and my unborn son Devin, due August 11th, to my Paypal Account, use address asiac@asiacarrera.com (that's asiaC, not just asia). I'm so scared that I won't be able to handle this newborn baby all by myself, along with Catty... I'm socially phobic, living alone in a state where I know nobody, afraid to leave the house by myself, without Don... every day is going to be such a huge struggle for the rest of my life. God this whole thing just breaks my heart, what happened to the perfect family I had a week ago? I was so in love, I woke up each day grateful to have such a good life, and in an instant... it's all gone. Don, I miss you, I need you, I don't know how I'm going to do this alone... *cry cry cry*
.

Alienq

I am a fan of Asia's work, I really thought her site did well I was always under the impression that it prolly made good money.

But then Everyone in this industry makes mad money and all that people talkin and hypin all the time... I never took the time to really inquire how well she did, it was never a factor in being a fan.

I feel bad for Asia, this is definatly one of the most fucked up situations I heard about in sometime in our biz. If I had the money to help her I would give her alot. Her stuff has always brought a smile to my face and in this world not many people do that for me.

Damn... Such a wonderful girl.

What a fucked up world and now its smeared everywhere with people in the industry talkin shit wondering why, wondering why no insurance...


The fuck with insurance, like that would make shit any easier for such a loss...

Fucken christ...
Ya people are heartless fuck heads from the bone to flesh outside.

When your partner dies it shakes your sense of security and - atleast in my case - you are scared shitless about the direction your life is going to take from there. Afterall, a sudden death just happens which reminds you that you can suddenly have everything destroyed so in the mindset you are in at the moment it means that you are expecting something else bad to happen.

I never asked for donations but people gave them and they helped me a great deal with the funeral and made it so that I didn't have to worry as much about being able to pay for it.

Chances are at this point it isn't even her posting and asking for donations but somebody talking for her.

My husband didn't have insurance because it is a bit hard to get when you are disabled but a lot of people just don't think about it when they are young. Money, however, does nothing to make you think you world hasn't just ended.

Sharpie

Asia was a very private person. (I suppose you get that way when it is difficult to go out in public a lot.) However her disguises were pretty good! Women get a little over emotional when pregnant, and often feel a little helpless, because there is so much you can no longer do. You have to rely so much on others. Then to lose your husband when you have small children, can be very overwhelming. No doubt her dispair is devastating. She is no doubt in a state of shock and her biggest emotion is grief and panic. With time it passes, but at the present, you can not see how you will ever get throrugh it. Being MENSA is very little help in these times - we are all human, with most of the same fralities.

Asia is strong, in time she will survive - I just hope she has close friends who can help her through it. My heart goes out to her.

confucy

For those of you who know Asia, like Sharpie and Lee Noga, and for those of you who only know her from her pictures and videos, here are some flash backs that show the different sides of Asia Carrera.

http://www.asiacarrera.com/vows.html

http://hypothermia.gamershardware.co...view_asiac.htm

The url's are dead for the following so I am posting the entire posts and articles. In the Uncensored interview at the bottom, Asia asks Don: DO YOU BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER DEATH?

11/22/01 - I'm writing this bulletin from the bottom of a pit of dark,
dismal depression so deep that it's amazing I can reach my keyboard to type
this. I confess, I've been keeping a secret for the past month or so, but I
guess I can tell you guys now... Clarkey, my boyfriend of the past four
years, moved back home to England two days ago. And since he overstayed his
6-month visa in the U.S. by about 7 1/2 years, odds are he won't be allowed
back into the States anytime soon. Yes, we were squabbling and bickering a
lot the last couple months, and yes, we agreed that we weren't happy
together anymore and needed time apart, but this was definitely NOT what I
had in mind!! I was hoping that a month or so of separation would help us
stop taking each other for granted, and make us appreciate each other
again, like it did when we broke up for a bit about two years ago. But
Clarkey couldn't afford to move into a new place on his own, and I didn't
feel like paying for his move and deposit on a new place (again). Add to
that the fact that Clarkey's parents happened to be visiting us from
England at the time we decided to split... and Clarkey decided the best
thing for him would be to go back home to his family and friends that he's
been missing a lot for the past 8 years. At first I thought he'd change his
mind, but once he promised his folks he'd be home for Christmas, we both
knew he had to go through with it. By the last week, we were both wishing
desperately that he hadn't committed himself to something so permanent, and
we spent his last days here just holding each other and crying a lot. But I
never tried to talk him out of leaving, because I knew he'd been homesick
for so long, and honestly, as much as I love him, we're just too different
to ever have a truly stable and fulfilling relationship. It's a classic
case of "can't live with him, can't live without him"... *sigh*. The
hardest part of letting him go was fighting my fear of being alone, because
my social phobia makes it very hard for me to leave the house, let alone
socializing, dating, and flirting with strangers! I also don't know how I'm
going to juggle my shooting schedule, webmaster duties, and all the
day-to-day chores and errands that Clarke used to take care of for me, but
right now I actually LIKE the extra work, because it keeps me too busy to
think about how miserable I am. Well, that's pretty much the whole story.
Tomorrow I'm gonna hop a plane to Vegas so I can spend Thanksgiving doing
something fun (Look out Triple Wild Cherry slots, here I come!!) instead of
cooking a turkey for me 'n my cats. One wee request - even though I'm
single now (well, technically I AM still married to Bud, but you know what
I mean!), please don't bombard me with emails begging for dates. That's
really not something I'm ready to deal with yet!! Oh, I bet you thought I
forgot about those new pics from the Playboy shoot I promised you, huh?
Nope! Like I told ya, I'm trying to keep myself too busy to think, so
without further ado... here they are! Now wish me luck in Vegas, 'kay?



7/25/05 - OK, Utah officially sucks. Every day we wake up and something else is on fire. For WEEKS now there's been smoke and flames in every direction, lighting up the night sky with an eerie red glow and blocking out the sun to a hazy shade of holocaust red and gray. I escaped the fires in Malibu 5 years ago. I evacuated from the fires in Chatsworth 2 years ago. Now I move to Utah and I'm STILL plagued by fires?? Cripeys, WTF is it with me and natural disasters?? (don't forget I moved to Northridge right before the big quake of '94) Well anyway, like it's not bad enough that we have to keep the windows shut to keep the smoke and ash out, we also have to keep them shut because it's a hundred and ten friggin' degrees every day! On Tuesday and Wednesday we hit 111 and 112 degrees!! Holy hotcakes, Batman!! (the atheist in me can't help wondering WTF the Mormons were thinking when they trekked all the way across America and plopped down here in the middle of the dry, scorching desert and said, "Yep, here we are! The promised land!" At least now we have air conditioning and swimming pools, but back then they didn't even have suntan lotion or running water or SHADE, for crying out loud! They must have picked this place because their oxen dropped dead of heat exhaustion and they couldn't go any further LOL!!) Every day Don and I reminesce about how good we had it in Hawaii, and how we took it for granted that every day was 85 degrees and perfect weather... *sigh*. But it was just too expensive to buy a decent-sized house in Hawaii, and it was time to settle down with a baby on the way... so here we are. With a mortgage that ties us here for HOW MANY YEARS??? AKKKK!!! I'm going to stick my head in the oven! Yep, that's right - I'm opening the front door and poking my head outside!! Ooooh - I can feel my nose hairs crackling from the heat!! Oy vey...

Porn Industry Upbeat Despite Computer Show Blues
By Peter Henderson


LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - If you want to make porn star Asia Carrera
really happy, check out the photos on her X-rated Web site, where
she shows off -- her new computer.


As high-tech executives, financial analysts and tech journalists
converged this week on Las Vegas for COMDEX, the largest computer
trade show in the United States, just down the strip there was a
gathering of a different kind: AdultDex, the adult entertainment
industry's annual Internet showcase.


The two conventions have been complementary attractions in Las Vegas
for some seven years -- since AdultDex organizers say they were
kicked out of COMDEX. This year, however, the dwindling crowds at
COMDEX left AdultDex's exhibitionists and exhibitors missing some of
their most fervent admirers.


Asia Carrera, with big black hair, stiletto heels and a blouse that
doesn't button up very well, is a big fan of the COMDEX crowd, with
whom she shares a certain passion.


She says she's also a member of the high-I.Q. group Mensa and a
former New Jersey spelling champ.


``I'm a hard core computer geek,'' she adds with a grin. ``I like
the fans at this show because they are geekier.'' She taught herself
to set up a Web site and run her Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
(NYSE:AMD - news) Athlon-powered ``butt-kicker'' computer, she says.


Carrera jokes that she gets discounts on computer hardware from the
COMDEX crowd and talks the talk both find most interesting: hard
drive size and Internet throughput.


Carrera says her (http://www.asiacarrera.com) site -- free but open
only to adult viewers -- has swollen her popularity and let her keep
in touch with fans without exotic dancing between movies. ``I'm too
shy,'' she says.


The adult entertainment industry has always been cutting edge
technologically. It is anecdotally credited with helping to
stimulate the video industry, and many Internet users weaned on
freebies appear willing to pay for porn.


In fact, the number of adult Web sites is jumping, says Phil
Blancett, whose company, Reliable Hosting, is ''adult-industry
friendly.''


For $50 per month, he will set up a site and throw in a bit of free
content -- the hottest action from 32 porn DVDs. ``We pretty much
take all the fluff out,'' he says.


Demand has increased in the slow economy, he says. ``I hear it again
and again. They are looking to supplement their income,'' he says.


COMFORT FOOD? TRY COMFORT PORN


Viewing also appears to be up he said, pointing to porn as a
counter-cyclical industry which benefits in bad times.


``There's comfort food, and then there's comfort porn,'' he
observed.


Meanwhile, the computer industry is in sore need of new jobs, he
added. He advertised in the San Francisco Bay Area for a new
technician to help handle his growing hosting facility. He received
190 applicants. ``It was kind of sad, actually.''


Blancett himself has a few adult Web sites which bring in about
$7,000 per month profit, he said. He has noticed that niche and
fetish sites, featuring legs in stockings, for instance, are
especially hot. ``It's all this weird stuff that seems to do real
well.''


AdultDex, which ran from Nov. 11 to 14, only covers one large room
at the Tropicana casino, as compared to COMDEX, which took over the
entire Las Vegas Convention Center, also starting from last Sunday.


COMDEX -- convened this year amid deepening gloom over the computer
industry -- disappointed many, such as cab drivers who estimated
attendance was down by half from the previous year, but Blancett
shrugged off the decline, tying it to Webmasters facing tight
budgets and wary of flying.


AdultDex's sparse crowd seemed satisfied.


Mike, a gambling vacationer about $300 in the black, took the
opportunity to have his picture taken with Carrera and had only
praise for the star, whose film career he has followed.


Asked to comment in publishable terms, he said with a grin, ''She's
gorgeous.''

September 1, 2004

Asia Carrera Asks: What was your favorite cartoon as a kid, and why?

Don Lemmon Replies: Without a doubt Hong Kong Fooey! (clears throat...) A-hem... Sing it with me now:

Hong Hong Phooey! Number one super guy!
Hong Kong Phooey! Quicker than the human eye!
He's got style, a groovey smile and a fight that just wont stop!
When the going gets rough, he's super tough with a Hong Hong Phooey chop!

He was a janitor by day, which epitomizes the American Dream I think. Brings tears to my eyes actually. Thank you so much for helping me remember all that is good in American animation.

(sniffle)

Asia Carrera Asks: Do you believe in life after death?

Don Lemmon Replies: Walt Disney does. I personally do not want my milky white ass that's been frozen for 100 years rejuvenated... That's just plain gross! If you mean do I believe there is a God or a Heaven or Hell... Wouldn't we all like to think so? I mean come on, those Christmas morning packages don't just deliver themselves! Jesus is your friend and "You have a friend in Pennsylvania!"

Asia Carrera Asks: What is the next goal you hope to achieve in life?

Don Lemmon Replies: Ok, this is November of 2003, 6 years since I first came online with my initial website venture..... I currently have two 300 page fitness books, software/audio/video products, a 500 page compilation of my short stories, a CD of music, then there is my magazine and 2 wildly popular health supplements.... There's probably something I am forgetting.... But within the next year I will have released 2 more 300 page fitness books, another 500 page novel series, more music, more magazines and 2 additional supplements.... And as if that weren't enough, somewhere between now and September I am also getting married to the greatest woman I have ever known, whom I love with all my heart. But these aren't goals, these are plans.... My goal is to take everything in life one step at a time but keep stepping forward without looking back. As baseball great Satchel Paige is known for saying, "Don't look back, something may be gaining on ya!"

Asia Carrera Asks: What's the longest you've ever gone without taking a shower?

Don Lemmon Replies: In the Army, weeks at a time. Since being out of the Army, weeks at a time! Do I smell funny or something?

Asia Carrera Asks: No, it was a question on Family Feud once... Describe a day in the life of Don Lemmon, 10 years from now.

Don Lemmon Replies: I sincerely hope no two days are alike but waking up next to my wife and receiving one of her soft kisses... Hearing my kids already awake or maybe having one or both of them run in to try and sneak up on me.... Sunshine.... Warm food... Animals in the yard... Clean air... A T3 line... That's all I can ever wish for....

Asia Carrera Asks: Where do birds go at night? when it rains?

Don Lemmon Replies: They sit on the same ledges people jump from or try to escape the bad guy on in the movies. Every time they show someone tip toeing to a fire escape, you will see the birds there, especially when it's raining. Never fails. So now you know.

Asia Carrera Asks: You've solved that mystery for me.... How many websites are you running now?

Don Lemmon Replies: 52... 36 for my different fitness products/supplements, 4 are my various magazines, 8 are for the novels, and 4 more are for various business ventures besides that...

Asia Carrera Asks: If you were made king of the world for a day, what would you do first?

Don Lemmon Replies: Denounce the throne in the name of my Queen Asia so that she could fulfill her lust for power as King of all the eye can see... Hail the King!

Asia Carrera Asks: That's what I hoped you would say! What food do you love so much that you'll eat it even though you know you shouldn't?

Don Lemmon Replies: Since no one has found a way to make a healthy Burger King BK Fish Sandwich alternative, I will take two of those, no sauce, extra cheese, a large fry and a Coke too please!

Asia Carrera Asks: Tell us a secret about Don Lemmon...

Don Lemmon Replies: I see dead people....

Asia Carrera Asks (after laughing so hard she spit): Your favorite quote:

Don Lemmon Replies: "You're so gay, felcher!" - Asia Carrera, member of Mensa

Asia Carrera Asks: A fantasy you dream about:

Don Lemmon Replies: I often dream that I am still in or at least back in either the Army or high school only this time they aren't going to discharge or graduate me so I am forced to come up with some sort of a creative escape plan that never seems to work.... Did you think I was going to say I was a dragon slayer who saved the Princess and became a hero throughout the land? Are you on crack? I'm running the other way buddy!

Asia Carrera Asks: If you had a time machine, what time period would you visit first?

Don Lemmon Replies: First thing's first, no era before air conditioning in the summer or indoor heating during the winter is going to be worth bothering with. You can think it is all fun and games to visit King Arthur but we'd catch some strange disease that we couldn't cure the second we got thirsty... Took a dump... And the food... Forget about it! No fridges, microwaves.... Automobiles.... It would take forever to travel considering the Time Machine doesn't change location, just time.... Let me stay right here where I am happy!

Asia Carrera Asks: You are such a wuss! If you were a male pornstar, what would your stage name be?

Don Lemmon Replies: Al Bendover (pronounced ALL, not I'LL).... But if I have to do anything on a stage, keep the lights low please... Thanks.

Asia Carrera Asks: What are the best and worst aspects of being famous?

Don Lemmon Replies: The bad.... People think they have you figured out without knowing you or having met you. People admire you to a point they do not act themselves when you are around and others seem to hate you without realizing it is you just reminded them of something they wished to forget or not think about. Stalkers suck, fans rock, etc, etc.... The good... Finding out what you offer really has entertained people, educated them, or made lives better in some way or another. I suppose VIP treatment at restaurants is always good....

Asia Carrera Asks: What 3 things would you want with you if you were stranded on a deserted island?

Don Lemmon Replies: A laptop, a charged battery and a wireless connection...

Asia Carrera Asks: Me too.... Just how many job titles do you have now, Mr Nutrition, Mr Writer, Mr. Musician...?

Don Lemmon Replies: Let's add Mr Asia Carrera to that list....

Asia Carrera Asks: What's the secret of your success?

Don Lemmon Replies: Remember when you were a kid or growing up, you told people you were going to be something, do something or achieve something? I realized that to succeed, you didn't need to become a household name, you merely needed to back up your words with actions. I have done everything I ever said I was going to do and now, because of it all, I am happier than ever and I want to do more of it, and I will, cause I just said I would....

Asia Carrera Asks: Do you suffer from triskaidekaphobia?

Don Lemmon Replies: Numbers don't frighten me, the letter E does. It's frikken everywhere man! I swear E is following me and he isn't looking to bring me flowers!

Asia Carrera Asks: Any words of wisdom to share with your fans? And don't steal MINE, you felcher! LOL!

Don Lemmon Replies: Don't fart if there are only two of you in the room, you won't have anyone else to blame it on.... Unless of course you wait until one of the pets arrive.... Then it's A-OK!

EDITOR'S NOTE: To let you in on the gag, Don Lemmon and Asia Carrera had been dating for quite some time before doing this interview. They thought it would be a fun way to spend part of their evening and it worked out well, don't you think? And then they got married! Visit Asia Carrera at her Butt Kicking Website HERE or Don Lemmon at his Official Website HERE

Peaches

Shortsighted fools see her as a "porn whore". Even though they are fine making money off her, their stone aged opinions aren't going to change.

If you wan't to donate, donate. If you don't, don't. It's such an easy concept.

Ok, stupid question. How safe is it to send to her paypal address? My main thought being that hers is an adult domain. Yes, this is for something completely different, but hearing all these horror stories about paypal I wonder if that just doesn't matter?

I've made my feelings on this well-known so no need to rehash it, but I will reiterate I've only donated to one person who suffered a loss, and that was Sarah as she didn't ask for anything, people offered to take up a collection for her.

I hope people will look at this story, whether true or false, and realize that you're not immortal and you have to look out for your loved ones. Drinking, snorting or gambling away your income isn't that bright.

Now we know. I would be scared, too.

06/26/06 - Today was a pretty good day. It's a little after 9 pm and I haven't even cried yet today. That's a first so far. I was able to take Catty out to do some stuff today because my loyal assistant dictator bought Catty a dvd player for the car. She loves it - thank you me2! Ok, since I am not going to vent about anything today, I will explain why I am asking for donations.

I know the media made me out to be this financial wizard, and I guess I WAS, at one time. When I was around 27, I had a lot of money invested in the stock market. I had almost enough to buy a nice house in LA for cash, which is a lot of money for a 27-year old kid to have saved up. But then came the tech collapse, the stock market tanked, and I lost half my savings overnight. I was sick about it, but I know bigger and better people than me got burned, so what could I do? All I could do was keep working and keep saving.

But then came another knockout punch, my boyfriend of 5 years got deported back to England, and my world just fell apart. I suffer from extreme co-dependancy, in addition to social phobia, so I was trapped at home alone with my overwhelming grief. I worked just enough to pay my bills and keep travelling to England every few months to see my boyfriend, and I saved nothing. In fact, I am ashamed to admit, I developed a terrible online gambling addiction, and blew through half of my savings yet again, over the next two years. I never cashed out, because I didn't want to stop gambling - then I would have to feel my loneliness and despair! There were days I wouldn't even get out of bed because I couldn't see any reason to. The rest of the time I spent gambling and blowing my savings.

Then I met Don... and everything turned to sunshine in an instant, I was so freakin' happy every day! We were SO in love, SO fast, it was a true fairytale come to life! He moved in after two weeks, we were engaged after a month, married at 3 months, moved to Hawaii and got pregnant 3 months after that. The happiness just never stopped, it seemed too good to be true! Well, I guess it was... *sigh* ok, where was I...

So anyway, I kicked my gambling addiction after I met Don, because I didn't need that emotional crutch anymore now that I had him. But all I had left was 1/4 of the savings I'd had before the market crash, and I used that to put a down payment on this house when we found out I was pregnant. So the last of my money went into this house. I make a little money off the site each month, but that was just "fun money", to buy toys for Catty and stuff, not enough to pay the bills. Don paid all the bills, and he was happy to do it. He never wanted me to go back to porn, he wanted to take care of me, and I wanted to be a loving fulltime mommy to his babies.

However Don had nothing in the bank either. He was a "live for the moment" kind of guy, he figured "it's just money, I'll make more" and he didn't really talk to me about what was up with the finances. And I didn't ask because it wasn't my business. I was happy to just worry about the babies and not money for the first time in my life! But when I asked him about life insurance and even got the forms for him, he put them aside on his desk and said he'd take care of it when business picked up a little. And of course, as you now know, he never wound up getting any.

Bottom line, I'm scared because we have nothing in the bank. And if you ever read my essay on "Why I Did Porn" on the bio page, you know that when I ran away from home I had nothing at all, and did things I didn't want to do just so I could eat and have a place to sleep. And I have had a deep-seated fear ever since of being put back in that position. Having kids to worry about now only makes it worse! I don't want to be standing on a street corner with two babies, begging for money!! I just don't have the "everything will work itself out" mentality, because I've BEEN on that street corner with nothing, and it is an experience I am terrified of repeating!!

Ok, so there you have it, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, the whole reason why I'm asking for donations from you, my loyal fans. And I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who has helped me out so far, with donations, kind words, Walmart giftcards, baby clothes, books on grieving, and talking to me in the chatroom. All of it, every bit of it is SO appreciated, thank you thank you thank you. Ok, guess I'll wrap this all up with another reprint of the donation info in case anyone missed it: (yes, it is totally humiliating for me to ask you guys for money, but when I look at Catty and my 8-month pregnant belly, I just feel so scared for the future! ARGH!!)

There's a spot on my sales page where you can donate up to $100. Or you can use my Paypal Account, to address asiac@asiacarrera.com (that's asiaC@, not just asia@). And for those who requested a snail-mail address, here you go:
Asia Carrera
875 W Redcliff Dr. #2, PMB 144
Washington, UT 84780

Thanks everyone, for all your support, you've been SO good to me the past two weeks!! I love you guys!

That sucks for her... but no life insurance when you have a kid ? That dosen't make much sence to me for "smart" people.

Peaches

I agree. Even when I was making next to nothing I always made sure to have a good life insurance policy. There were MANY times I was worth more dead than alive.

I feel bad for her. She made some bad decisions (and apparently, so did he) and now she's suffering for them. I don't think she'll have a problem finding work, even with her clothes on, but 2 kids growing up w/o their father and having a mother work all day is tough. Hopefully she can find something to do from home.

What about social security? She's a widower now, right? And with a child? Shouldn't she be getting at least $2k or so a month from SS until the child turns 18?

Good point and probably something she hasn't thought of.

I would think she would easily qualify for public assistance.

But what if Don did not file taxes? That would nullify the social security part right?

finding someone to love/share a life with/have a family/etc... is hard enough. then, to lose them, really sucks and makes a person question everything. it just doesn't make sense.
