"Do you really want to know what it's like to be a porn star? Brace yourself, because I'm not going to pull any punches. Here's what a `busy day at the office' might mean for me...."

So begins the no-holds-barred autobiography of Monica Mayhem - a porn star and proud of it. In her funny and disarmingly candid voice, she reveals the ins and outs of making it big in Los Angeles, the pornography capital of the world. Just how did a girl who was taunted at school because her eyes were "too big", and who carved out a respectable career for herself trading oil futures in the financial markets of Sydney and London, go on to make over four hundred hardcore adult movies (and counting), win numerous industry awards, and even land herself a role in the first Sex and the City movie? From her troubled childhood to her first show at the famous Spearmint Rhino in London to her favorite sex toys, Monica reveals how she built her empire - which now includes hundreds of films, a Web site, and lucrative burlesque performances.

Absolute Mayhem lifts the lid off the sex, rock, and mayhem of Monica's truly extraordinary professional life and unveils the private person behind it all.
