| Charmane
was born in the Philippines but moved to California
with her family at age two. She grew up all over California in cities such as San Francisco,
San Diego and Sacramento. She is the youngest child from a very large family and have seven brothers and one sister.
Charmane's career in adult films started when she became a nude model for Hustler and other adult magazines soon after turning 19. The nude modeling lead to other works on the Internet and her adult film debut in 1999. However, Charmane left two
years later to manage a night club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
with her ex-boyfriend. She recalls that managing the
night club was "20 times harder" than making adult
films. When not working long hours at the night club,
she managed to do single photo girl shoots.
In 2003 Charmane
returned to film and promptly opened up her own website.
Charmane mainly performs boy/girl and girl/girl scenes,
and just one boy/girl/boy scenes in her entire career. Prior to her first time working with two guys, she thought that "it would be interesting and fun, but it didn't work out that way because she was very tiny and small."
She has become one of the
top Asian performers in adult film. Like many performers
she occasionally dances in strip clubs and made her debut in December
2004 at Club Paradise in Honolulu, Hawaii with Teanna
Kai.
As a part of her hobby, she has amassed sculptures and
paintings, and aims to own an art gallery someday. As
of 2005, she is learning to be a disc jockey. Her contacts
with professional DJs as well as her background owning a night club has no doubt contributed to this new hobby.
In regards to her personal life, Charmane states that she is currently just dating right now. And doesn't have a specific kind of guy she likes. To establish a good relationship, she does look for someone that is confident with themselves, and someone she can trust. Although she prefers men, she also has had close relationships with other women, because girls are simply beautiful, very feminine, and just fun!
