XRCO: Nominated for Performer of the Year, Best Gonzo Movie
VENICE, CA – Media magnate Rupert Murdoch got his start in Australia and went on to become worth more than $12 billion thanks in part to hiring people who have a good nose for a great story. His News Corp owns News.co.au is Australia’s biggest news website and the hottest story on the site right now is an amazing feature article on Mick Blue and his wife Anikka Albrite.
Dr. Nikki Goldstein, author of the book #singlebutdating, wrote the feature titled “At home with Anikka Albrite and Mick Blue, the ‘Brad and Ange’ of porn.” They are promoting it as “Inside the world’s most open marriage” and it is one of the most popular stories on the site.
Goldstein spent time with the couple at the Adult Entertainment Expo in January and visited their home, too. She had the opportunity to get past the headlines and box covers and get a glimpse into their real lives. How does the first-ever married couple to simultaneously win Performer of the Year trophies deal with their success and the fact that they are often having sex with other people?
“The biggest negative is the stigmatism in society when people find out,” Mick told Goldstein. “The stigmatism for girls is bigger than for guys. If a girl does it, she is a whore.
“When you look at movies like Boogie Nights, it was a different era. And yes back then it was like that. Porn was more underground. But today in the industry you are an athlete and you are rated on your last scene. There are some people who party and take drugs, but it’s not more than other industry.”
Goldstein explains their unique situation for a massive mainstream audience without condemnation or exploitation, presenting them as they are: real people.
“Spending time with Mick and Anikka, the biggest question playing on my mind was around infidelity and jealousy,” she writes. “During the awards show I heard another star on stage (who won for best anal scene) thank Anikka for allowing her to have sex with her husband to receive the award.”
“I think that the question is the definition of cheating,” explains Mick. “Cheating doesn’t necessarily need to be sex with someone. Cheating is more if you do something that doesn’t have the consent of the person you are with. If you went for a lap dance but didn’t tell your partner is that cheating? If you went to the movies and didn’t tell your partner you were going with another man or woman is that cheating? Feelings with a person come if you let the feelings come. You learn how to control that.”
Mick definitely has control over his skyrocketing career and he just received a pair of big nominations for the 2016 XRCO Awards. He is up for Male Performer of the Year, which he won last year, and Best Gonzo Movie for Anikka’s Anal Sluts (BAM Visions), which he directed with Maestro Claudio for the company Mick, Claudio and Anikka debuted last year.
