Fresh Faces: Ada Vera

LOS ANGELES—According to the delightful Ada Vera, she was always slutty, and no one who knew her back in Texas would be surprised to see these pictures. On her 18th birthday, Vera strode into a Houston tattoo parlor for her birthday present, and was disappointed to learn that all the inkers were busy. “I had already spent six dollars on an Uber,” she tells AVN, “and I wasn’t about to leave. So I got the next best thing.” The next best thing was two nipple piercings atop perfect, 34DD breasts. Reflecting on the gentleman charged with the task,” she says, “Yeah, that guy was pretty excited.” Now 20, Vera is in the first generation of performers who started their porn careers during the pandemic. Every two weeks she travels from Houston to Miami and stays in the same house immortalized by Rashida Jones’ documentary Hot Girls Wanted, which many adult industry professionals regard as an unflattering look at the business. “Not me,” Vera says. “As soon as I saw that documentary, I knew that I wanted to work for Riley (owner of Hussie Models, featured in the doc). I have never had so much fun.” Now tattooed as well as pierced, Vera says that there is nothing that she has done onscreen in her four months in porn that she hadn’t done already. “Oh my goodness,” she says. “If people in my high school found out, they would not be the least bit surprised. Everybody knew that I was heading to porn.” Even though Vera hasn’t fought a learning curve in porn, she approaches the job with glee. “Can you believe that people on the outside don’t eat pussy?” she says. “On porn sets, everybody’s, like, striving to make me cum. I am very, very grateful.” And she has a manageable crush on (“I’m a fangirl, not a stalker,” she is quick to point out) the performer Tori Montana. “I look up to her a lot,” Vera says. “I was just scrolling through Instagram and I thought, ‘This girl is so cute! She looks like me!’ She’s just a sweetheart cupcake.” How did Montana react when Vera confessed her crush? “Oh, she was very sweet,” Vera tells AVN with a slight southern accent. “I was fangirling and I kept my cool.” Because she doesn’t know any different, Vera didn’t need to adjust to pandemic porn protocols. “We have our tests, we get our temperature taken…I don’t know what it was like before, so I’m just happy to be here.” As is often the case with new talent, especially in Florida, Vera was working immediately, and got some embarrassing on-the-job training. “I don’t know what I was thinking,” she says, “but I ate before the shoot and it was just sitting in my stomach like a brick. My very first day. I farted on set and everybody just laughed. I guess that’s something I hadn’t done before.” Photos 1-5 by Johnny Robins/HussiePass.com
