Mikayla Mendez is straight-up gorgeous with that smooth olive skin and a face that makes you look twice. She didn’t have to think twice about signing with Wicked, either. “I’ve shot for them before, and I knew right then this is where I belong,” she says. She’s the first full Latina Wicked Girl, 100% Mexican, and she’s proud of it. Born in Burbank and raised just north of the Valley, she calls herself a true “818 girl.” Growing up was normal—loving mom, strict dad, a brother, a few pets—but once she hit adulthood, she wanted heat and new kicks. Adult work started in 2002. She jumped into girl-girl scenes first, and they became her thing. A two-year break, then she came back hungrier, ready for more. That hunger meant bringing guys on camera, and suddenly the star climbed fast. She killed it in “Hot Chocolate,” “Touched,” “Last Night,” and shared the cover of “Bad Girls.” Two Brad Armstrong joints in 2007—“Coming Home” and “The Craving”—snagged major AVN hardware and put her name on every tongue. Steve Orenstein inked her exclusive that May. Since then she hasn’t stopped: gothic vampire in Michael Raven’s “The Wicked” (AVN-nominated group scene), scenes for jessica drake’s “What Girls Like,” and Brad’s sleek “Race 2 Race.” Later drops include “Chop Shop Chicas,” “The Accidental Hooker,” and the glossy “Sexy Bitch.” She’s popping up in mags, on radio with Margaret Cho, and still says the fans keep her going. “Sit down and hold on,” she warns with a grin. “It’s gonna be fast, filthy, and worth every second.”
