Midori is back! We found out she was taking time off to do the family thing after touring Europe. Now she's back and misses performing on stage and screen!

Out of public view here in the States Midori toured, got married and gave the housewife thing a good chance. "I didn't really retire," said Midori, "I actually took some much needed time off and it's been close to 4 years I suppose. I spent a lot of time traveling abroad and performing."

She's collected footage while traveling as a dancer, filming the occasional movie, winning awards and becoming quite popular in Europe. The movie titled "Midori's Big Sister" won Best American Film at Eroticon in Warsaw, Poland, and Midori has won Best American Actress two years in a row. "I had a ball doing the erotic festivals all over Europe! It's much more of a relaxed, fun atmosphere because everyone is supportive of all things erotic..."

Right now she's sorting through all her footage to put a DVD together. Having learned to edit film and sound from producing her music video herself in Malaysia she has a ton of never released footage, behind the scenes footage, live stage shows taped with, her then boyfriend, Kid Rock and an assortment of things from on the road.

An accomplished singer, songwriter, dancer and actress Midori is brining a lot to the table when approached by companies to do Adult Films. Classy, serene and with a mesmerizing smile she's ready to do business again in Porn Valley.

She commented on picking up where she left off here in the States doing scenes: "I'm not getting laid in my personal life so I might as well get paid for it," says the now single ebony goddess, "I am coming into myself personally, as a woman, a mom and now just have a more mature focus."

Midori also says there is a book in her future. Being married, separated and having a child has inspired her to begin writing a book titled "What Would I Tell My Daughter".

I put Midori on the spot and asked her to describe herself and she said, "[I'm] 36D-25-35, 5'7", 125 lbs. I'm sensitive, moody and unpredictable. I can be goofy at times and I'm always thinking. I'm kind of a closet nerd. I'm intense in everything I do. If I have to pretend then I'd rather not do it. I gravitate to people that radiate the good stuff from within and avoid those that have nothing positive to say or do.

You can see Midori's Adult Movies by searching her name and following links to online stores or visiting your local adult boutique. Where can you find her music? I asked her - "If you want to check out my music on MySpace, go to www.MySpace.com/MicheleWatley". Visit her website at www.Midori.net.
