True porn fans should be well acquainted with one of the great mysteries of the pornosphere: why does Wicked contract star jessica drake never capitalize her name? At long last, we’ve found the answer.
We thought, for a time, that it might be a tribute to e.e. cummings or bell hooks, or that jessica was, perhaps, making a statement against the patriarchy. But no, a 2007 interview reveals that the truth is much simpler:
I was at my first show, which was VFD about six years ago, and I really hadn’t done anything yet. But somebody had made up posters for me, because I had been in one of their scenes, for people to sign, and people started asking me for my autograph. So I started trying to write it, and it didn’t look good. Capital J and capital D wasn’t cutting it, so I ended up going home that night and practicing my autograph so many different ways because I’m a dork, and little j and little d looked really good.
Well, one mystery down. Now if we can just figure out how Belladonna gets that bat up there…
