Ariana

Ariana (Aryana), the Latinized form of the Ancient Greek Ἀρ(ε)ιανή Ar(e)ianē (inhabitants: Ariani; Ἀρ(ε)ιανοί Ar(e)ianoi), was a general geographical term used by some Greek and Roman authors of the ancient period for a district of wide extent between Central Asia and the Indus River, comprehending the eastern provinces of the Achaemenid Empire that covered the whole country of modern day Afghanistan, and a few parts of India, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Iran, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

At various times, various parts of the region were governed by the Persians (the Achaemenids from 550 to 330 BC, the Sasanians from 275 to 650 AD and the Indo-Sasanians from 345 to 450 AD), the Macedonians (the Seleucids from 330 to 250 BC, the Greco-Bactrians from 250 to 110 BC and the Indo-Greeks from 155 to 90 BC), Iranian peoples from Persia and Central Asia (the Parthians from 160 BC to 225 AD, the Indo-Scythians from 90 BC to 20 AD, the Indo-Parthians from 20 to 225 AD and the Kushans from 110 BC to 225 AD), the Xionites (the Kidarites from 360 to 465 AD and the Hephthalites from 450 to 565 AD) and Indian empires (the Mauryans from 275 to 185 BC).

    Early life

    Ariana was born in Brooklyn, New York to a Catholic family of Italian and Greek descent.

    Career

    In 1989, Ariana was working as a stripper at Frank's Chicken House in Manville, New Jersey when Nina Hartley approached her and suggested she become a feature dancer. Hartley advised her to model in pornographic magazines and perform in adult films. Ariana, who was 30 years old at the time, declined the offer, thinking she would be unable to find work because of her age and the amount of tattoos she had, which was uncommon and considered taboo back then. She was later approached by pornographic actors Sandra Scream and Woody Long while stripping at the Go-Go Ramma in Laurence Harbor, New Jersey. Scream and Long offered to help her find work in magazines. She did her first photo shoot for Cheri Magazine in 1989. Pornographic film director Bobby Hollander contacted her after seeing her photos in the magazine. Ariana initially choose to work only with her then husband, Luc Wylder. Her first performance with someone besides Wylder was in a girl-girl sex scene with Aja.
