Presenting PART ONE of my two-part EXCLUSIVE interview with @dixelatedproductions CEO @voodoodahl-vu . We talk about it all. The scandals. The confusion. The rebranding. And what lays in store for the future. Read it all here:
Muse: Welcome VoodooDahl to my first interview with you. I’m excited to have you here.
VoodooDahl: Me tooooo! I went back & forth on whether or not I should do this interview, but due to recent events…I keep being sent for, so here tf I am xD
Muse: So let’s jump right into it. For my readers who may not know
Muse: I just want to do a bit of background on you.
Muse: CEO. President. Manager. That’s an impressive resume. How did you come to be in the adult entertainment industry?
VoodooDahl: hehe yes, I’m a leader naturally, so I always end up climbing to the top of any organization I’m a part of
VoodooDahl: I’ve been on IMVU as Meraki (formerly my main account) for a little over two years. In that time I never explored the AP side of things. So I made a separate “hoe” account, which eventually became VoodooDahl. At the start of it, I met a girl with a porn production company and she introduced me to the tumblr world. That situation ended abruptly and I never actually got into the industry then. I got hired at a strip club and did that for a while. From there I ended up helping my good friend TessaMaree build her own club. From there she was offered Dragon (Productions). She pulled me on board to be her CEO. The rest is history.
Muse: I might have to make a hoe account o.o
VoodooDahl: babyyyy, oh the places you’ll go ^_^
Muse: What were you first impressions of the industry? The people, the vibe, the content.
VoodooDahl: Not good tbh. When I was first introduced to it, I was told that I’d get paid. When I found out that was a lie, I was over it haha. I spent my time at the club instead because I got paid in credits & gifts. But I had discovered the imvu world of Tumblr, so I kept an eye on it. I really enjoyed the creativity of it all, so I ended up keeping my tumblr going just as a free agent. And I got offered jobs with some of the major companies, but back then I didn’t know who was who or what company was known for what. Thinking back, if I knew then what I knew now, I would have quickly jumped on board with Imperial. But, you live & you learn.
Muse: @imperialxxxstacy is a company that is in the midst of joining a coalition spearheaded by Lowlife Entertainment to transform the industry into a somewhat safer, more unified environment, an effort many other companies are supporting. In the current atmosphere, where do you see yourself and your company standing in the industry in general?
VoodooDahl: I have no quarrels with any companies. I have personal issues with a couple people in the industry, but I don’t mix personal and business. I don’t do blacklists. Members of Dixelated are free to work with whoever they want with the only exception being Joseei. And I also instruct my members that Dragon Productions may not be tagged to anything Dixelated. They are free to work with Dragon members if they choose to, but they are not free to promote Dragon in any way, shape or form. In fact, I’ll show you the group page that refers to this.
Muse: *leans forward in interest* Please do
Muse: Your critics might say that working with Dragon members is an act of promotion in itself, giving them more resources in terms of more talent to work with. I’m aware that Dixelated has had issues with separating their brand from Dragon in the past and you have have been personally on the front lines to make it known that the separation is final. So I am going to ask 2 questions.
#1: Do you think allowing your members to work with Dragon members convinces people who still associate you guys with Dragon that you are indeed separated?
and #2: What do you say to your critics who would argue that allowing them to work with those members is synonymous with promoting the company?
VoodooDahl: I think me allowing my members to work with Dragon members shows that I know how to keep my personal feelings out of business decisions. I personally feel that so long as there are no dragon tags or logos on the work, then I am not promoting Dragon. I am promoting a model who happens to be employed by Dragon. And I know that soon those members will be at other companies, as Dragon is the cancer of the industry. Jess (owner of Diamond Enterprise) keeps holding that casket open, but that body is decomposed asf. Imma need her to close that casket & bury the bitch.
Muse: That leads me to my next question. Not to keep going back. But can you tell my readers about the very start of your journey in the industry. I think you first became known as CEO or president of Dragon productions. As you said earlier, you have dancing experience and had previously worked in the adult entertainment industry…but your controversial -and very brief - role at Dragon catapulted you into the spotlight. And I have to just say, I know it must have been tough to try and take on that company in the midst of so many scandals. So. Tell my readers about the behind-the-scenes events going on at that time.
VoodooDahl: Dragon first came into my space through Tess. She’s the owner of Provocations and I am a manager there. She met Joseei and the two of them became associates. If I’m not mistaken, he came to her because he also has a strip club and he wanted to collab on some things involving that. Don’t quote me on that because I’m not 100% certain. Anyhow, he had some kind of drama happen with Dragon and decided to step down. He liked Tess enough that he offered her Dragon.
VoodooDahl: Now, that being said, when I personally met Joseei, it was through Tess. I met him as “the guy with that club who wants to do business”. Then the two of them had some club business going on and he became the guy who Tes does business with who would always come to our club and park. (which annoyed tf outta me). At no point were Joe (Joseei) & I ever friends. We never had a single conversation. We never chilled in the same room. We were basically two people who did business with Tess. At this time, I was a model at Diamond, and Joe hired Tess as a pornstar at Dragon.
VoodooDahl: The first fallout of me & Joe happened pretty close to me meeting him. In the beginning, before I knew him, I was cordial. It was when I went to Dragon Productions HQ to hangout with Tess, as she was spending a lot of time there. Anyway, Joseei used to take pics of us chilling and I had no problems with posting them. Until I did have a problem.
Muse: What happened that made you upset?
VoodooDahl: That problem came in because he posted a pic and the caption he used, he referred to himself as ‘daddy’. At the time, I had a dom, who had a strict rule that stated that I was not allowed to refer to anyone as ‘daddy’ besides him. So when i saw Joe’s caption, I had issues. And I voiced them. Well, Joe didn’t wanna hear what I was saying, so I commented on the pic directly and reblogged it with my own caption. My caption was something to the effect of ‘not MY daddy, but you get the drift’. Just a lil clarity. Babyyyy, that was the first time I learned how vile a human being he is.
Muse: What was his reaction to your clarification?
VoodooDahl: he called me all types of dumb bitches and hoes. told me I need to learn how to separate business from personal and that everybody knows it’s just a picture. But I didn’t agree with him. I felt like he was trying to make the picture look like something it was not. He took that as a personal attack against him. Then he threatened to tag ‘daddy’ to the pics as a way to get him to fall out with me. But Daddy is a very smart man, so I invited him to do so.
Muse: Other women have had similar experiences with him. So let me just try and make sure I understand. You’re telling me that this guy, Joseei, insulted you? And threatened to sabotage your relationship with your man simply because you commented on a misleading picture to clarify that he was not your ‘daddy’…a word which carries significance to people in bdsm relaitonships.
VoodooDahl: Yep. He went full fuckboy on me about it.
Muse: What were some of the things he said to you?
VoodooDahl: “don’t contradict me and make me look stupid. it’s work and nothing else Nat. you know that. it’s stupid that we are having this chat. stop mixing personal/real.”
VoodooDahl: to which I replied: “first the fuck of all watch how the fuck you talk to me. second of all, I have a daddy/dom on imvu and one of his rules is that I cannot refer to anyone other than him as ‘daddy’. so when you did it, I told you it made me uncomfortable. if you don’t give a fuck how i feel about it, then that’s fine too. i just know not to fuck with your ass no more. have a good fucking evening sir.
VoodooDahl: to which he replied “shall we tag daddy then”….I invited him to do so. Told him Daddy’s name.
Muse: Was Dixelated created at this time?
VoodooDahl: Nope. Not yet. At this this time, i decided that I would take from him everything and leave him nothing.
VoodooDahl: I didn’t share these feelings with anyone. This was just me in my own mind, deciding I wanted to silence him. Because at this time, I started seeing tons of other people’s posts about their own dealings with him. So it was clear to me that he needed to go. So I made my moves in silence, and ended up landing as the CEO of Dragon. Some of those moves caused me to be a fake bitch. But I didn’t mind being a fake bitch to such a vile piece of trash. So yes, when Jess wanted to mediate me and Joe’s reconcilliation, I went along.
Muse: So I’m looking at an older tumblr post you made - you and Tessa, I assume - in which you are rather strongly asserting that Joseei is no longer in management of Dragon Productions and that you two are now fully in control. Since that statement, management of Dragon has shifted and it is still unclear to many whether or not he still controls the company.
VoodooDahl: Joe is and will always be Dragon. Point blank. Period.
