Aria Giovanni (born November 3, 1977) is an actress and nude model who was "Penthouse" Pet for the month of September 2000. She has modeled in a range of photographic styles, and has also had roles in television shows.

Early life

Giovanni was born in California, and grew up in Orange County.cite web|url=http://www.klixxx.com/archive/ariagiovanni.shtml|title=Aria Giovanni: Running Your Site & Being Your Own Content|accessdate=2007-07-10|author=Ed Rampell|publisher=Klixxx magazine] Her father has Italian-Yugoslavian heritage, and her mother has French, German, Irish, and American Indian heritage.cite web|url=http://adultfyi.com/read.php?ID=17049|title=Aria Giovanni Interviewed|accessdate=2007-07-10|author=Gene Ross|date=2006-06-14|publisher=AdultFYI] In an interview, she has stated that she entered rehab at age 12 for drug and alcohol problems and stayed there for 26 months. During her second year in rehab she began taking high school classes and completed two years worth of classes during that time. After leaving rehab, she entered high school in her junior year.

Career

She attended a junior college in San Diego majoring in biochemistry,cite web|url=http://www.glamourcon.com/interview/aria.html|title=Celebrate Aria|accessdate=2007-07-10|date=2002-12-16|publisher=glamourcon.com] while waitressing and tutoring in science and mathematics on the side, when she decided to enter modeling. She started answering newspaper ads in October, 1999, and soon began appearing on various amateur pornography websites such as Amateur Pink, Busty Amateurs, Seductive Amateurs, Darker Pleasures and BubbleGirls.

In 2000, Aimee Sweet introduced Giovanni to glamour photographer Suze Randall, who in late May of that year shot photos of Giovanni which appeared in the September issue of "Penthouse" magazine. At the same time, she also appeared on the web site Bomis, posing clothed for a Ferrari giveaway contest.

Around the same time that she shot the Penthouse photos, she transferred to University of California, San Diego as a junior transfer student intending to major in biochemistry and minor in English writing. However, she opted not to attend as she felt that the workload would not leave time for modeling; "I knew I could always come back to school, but I probably couldn't come back to modeling."

In 2001, she played Monica Snatch in the movie "Survivors Exposed", a parody of the "Survivor" television series. She also appeared on the TV dating show "Shipmates" (Episode dated November 16, 2001).

Giovanni has appeared in bondage, fetish, amateur, glamour and artistic photography. Giovanni has worked extensively with Andrew Blake, appearing in "Girlfriends", "Aria", "Blondes & Brunettes", "Justine", "Adriana" and "Naked Diva". She has appeared in softcore pornographic movies, although most of her lesbian scenes involve purely implied sexual contact. In the early part of her modeling career she made extensive use of sex toys in masturbation videos, which she has since stopped doing.

In October 2008, Giovanni appeared in the first episode of James Gunn's short-form web video series, PG Porn playing a role opposite Nathan Fillion [cite web|url=http://www.pgporn.tv/|title=James Gunn's PG Porn|accessdate=2008-10-09] . When interviewed about the episode, she claimed that a kiss with Fillion was the first on-screen kiss she'd ever shared with a man [cite web|url=http://www.reelpopblog.com/2008/09/pg-porn-with-ar.html|title=PG Porn with Aria Giovanni|accessdate=2008-10-09|date=2008-09-20|publisher=reelpornblog.com] .
