Woodland Hills Porn Party
I attended a porn party in Woodland Hills Sunday that was co-hosted by Joe Elkind's CEN, Vivid, Cybererotica and other porners.
Persons on hand included Cybererotica.com president Johnathan Silverstein, Vivid girl Taylor Hayes, Vivid sales manager Howard Levine, Vivid internet head David Schlessinger, Wildlife Video owner Bobby Rinaldi, porn stud Gino, Gail Harris, owner of Falconfoto.net, wrestler Steve Neece, Darklady, Helen Thompson (editor of LFP's Leg World), Joey Strange (fetish artist) and others.
JoeE (his mom's Israeli0 partied in Las Vegas with his girlfriend Farrah and strip club empressario Michael J. Peter earlier in the weekend. Michael does not stop - goes all night, all day then collapses. When out in Los Angeles, JoeE stays with Peter.
On Wednesday, JoeE interviews from Steve Cohen of Sex.com. JoeE does business with Steve and does not have a bad word to say about him.
JoeE has made a deal with the ATM Billing Network Cirrus to exclusively do ATM transactions over the net. Once you use your PIN, you bypass VISA and Mastercard, and are regulated by Cirrus. JoeE's CEN will have a huge booth at the IA2000 show in New Orleans later this month explaining this new deal. There are no chargebacks when you do ATM billing.

Peter North Inspires Rock Song
An independent band, Misinformed Manzerek, has recently released it's new album, "Indian Air Freshener." It features many song titles that have a porn flavor to them including: Godzilla Balls, Casting Couch, and Puntang, but perhaps the most interesting song title of all is The Day Peter North Cried. Read the lyrics and see ...
THE DAY PETER NORTH CRIED
When they wanted a cum shot and he couldn't provide
THAT WAS THE DAY THAT PETER NORTH CRIED
The cops busted the set and he couldn't get the leather untied
THAT WAS THE DAY THAT PETER NORTH CRIED
THAT WAS THE DAY THAT PETER NORTH CRIED
THAT WAS THE DAY THAT PETER NORTH CRIED
THAT WAS THE DAY THAT PETER NORTH CRIED
THAT WAS THE DAY THAT PETER NORTH CRIED
When he went in for food stamps and he was denied
THAT WAS THE DAY THAT PETER NORTH CRIED
When he did gay porn and they said open wide
THAT WAS THE DAY THAT PETER NORTH CRIED
and so on, and so forth... copyright 1999, Girdner's Best Stop Music Click here: Misinformed Manzerick
Adult Film Licensing
Mike writes: Luke, I live in the state of California. I was wondering what licenses/permits are needed to start making adult films. I'm not going into the business. I have always wondered. It can't be as simple as buy a camera, find a girl and your in business. Although a lot of films look like that is the case.
Luke: Buy a camera, find a girl and you're in business. If you get more elaborate however and need crew, then you need to get a filming permit from the same authority as issues permits to Disney, Warner Brothers, etc...
Lesbian Kiss
Voyager7 writes on RAME: One of the kissy wimmenz who was booted out of the stadium, upset that she couldn't watch grown males spit and scratch at their scrotums in public anymore, was identified in the article as Merideth Knott and she was giving her touchie-feelie life story, when.... she said she was a FORMER pornstar. Anybody got any skinni on this kisser?
Pat Riley replies on RAME: Voyager, instead of your local rag, which,
given that it is a Kansas City paper, probably only reports on corn
and wheat harvests and cattle drives in any detail
Peter North's Hair
Rob writes on RAME: re: Peter North and his legendary obsession with his hair not being touched. Is it possible it's a toupee?
DJWaxkilla replies: Naaaaah, too sculpted to the shape of his head to be a toupee...it's just sad because I only remember seeing guys get all uppity about their hair like that when I was in middle school...from the looks of it he piles on the hairspray and/or mousse...silly, silly man....
Tera Patrick = Bulls--- Artist?
Bell111 writes on RAME: In an interview with Roge T. Tara said she she has no problems working with blackmen but she just didn't know the talent pool. Well I've been seeing her showing up on cable with a bunch of unknown or mostly new guys. How come she knows these guys? Even I don't rembember ever seeing a lot of these and I've been watch too much porn for years. Nacho Vidal hardly ever works in the US when you compare him to Marcus, Sean or Lex yet she did at least one scene with him. He is no where as well known in the US as Sean. I smell a rat. Time will tell on this one.
I just checked out the MR. Marcus's message board and read a post by someone who attended the VSDA and asked some porn stars about interracial scenes. This is the response he said he got from them - "Jewel Denyle says she does not do interracial or gangbangs. Jessica Drake said no to interracial as well Serenity was a no, Stacy Valentine was a no, she said she is retired." He also put Zoe on the list of no interracial. I am asking this question in RAME because there seem to be more insiders or people in the know posting here. Can any or the regulars confirm this?
John writes: Luke, I see where Laurie Holmes says see will never be at the Bunny Ranch again. Teri Weigel said the same thing. Any others say the same thing? What is the reason? Do you believe any of the Tera Patrick bio: From Montana, a nurse, fashion model etc. Is it all BS? What are the obvious signs that a porn star's career is going down the chute? : Bukkake, Black gangbangs, heads stuffed in toilets? I see where Lovette will be doing a Bukkake. Is her career headed downward? Did you ever confirm the death of Rene Bond? Is Jennifer West still working as a prostitute? You have put the real names of a lot of stars on your site, how about their real date of births and arrest records. I wold like to see Danni Ashe's mug shot from her Florida bust (no pun intended). Where is Trinity Loren buried? Under what name? How about other stars burial sites? One last question: How many stars from 5 years ago are still working? Any idea?
Porn Star Dollars
> How much do girls make for porn movies (typically) ?
Dave Cummings: It's normally a "per sex scene" thing, and pays approximately $600 for regular boy/girl, $700-800 if anal. A DP, or the inclusion of an additional guy might add another $100.
> I have a friend who wants to do an american bukkake and is thinking > about getting in touch with the studio, but she has no idea how much a > girl might make for doing such a film. Anyone have an idea or at > least a range?
DC: I have NO specific knowledge on this, but I would guess $1,500.
Voyager7 replies on RAME: From what I've gathered from being an astute pervert on RAME... Range.... Low End.... Cheeseburgers and gas money....
High End.... Dita told me (after a stripper appearance, and we were waiting for the polaroid-of-life-to develop) she copped $25K for her scenes in Blake's PinUp's #2.... YMMV I would start negotiating with at least wanting a Whopper.
Rob writes: There is no way in hell anyone makes 25K a porn movie!
Blasphemous Jack Chick Parodies
As with all great thinkers throughout history Jack Chick too has his uniformed detractors. Some see fit to throw darts at Mr. Chick's moral absolutisms that he so brilliantly expresses in comic book form. Today we see the how his moral rivals attempt to shred the eternal truths of Jack Chick. Remember, laugh once and you are going to hell. NOTE: "Dead to Rights" directly and shamefully mocks Jack Chick himself! Click here: The Jack T. Chick Parody Archive
Liebermania Shabbat
Luke: This is a much forwarded email:
Our daughter, xxxxx and her husband belonged to the shul that Senator Lieberman attends in Georgetown, until they moved to Naples [F: comment, presumably Naples, Florida] last year. The following fascinating dispatch she received from a friend on the Georgetown homefront chronicles the first Shabbos at the synagogue since the announcement of Lieberman's designation as veep nominee: Dispatches from the Front Hi all. I thought some of you might be interested in the goings on at Kesher Israel this past weekend, the first "Liebermania shabbat."
The sense of surrealism continued and the euphoria was tangible. Senator Lieberman, Hadassah and Hani were accompanied to shul by 15 to 20 secret service agents. Some walked beside them; most trailed slowly behind in an SUV and one of those black vans with all the techno equipment. The media was there to film him walking-in. The shul gave out a statement letter to the media, welcoming them to observe or participate in Kesher, but requesting that no cameras, laptops, pens, notepads, etc. be used inside the shul; and that the media not attempt to interview service-goers on shabbat. About five secret service agents went into shul. By and large they blended in very well. This is probably because Kesher has a relatively diverse membership; with a relatively diverse dress code [although xxxxx will not let me wear shorts to shul. I keep telling people it's "the Gush" look; but since I did not actually go to Gush my credibility here seems to be shaky].
A couple of agents were wearing the white, silk, Bar-mitzvah-special kippah, but most were wearing knit kippot, and were indistinguishable. At one point xxxxxx was standing outside the men's section with yyyyyyy, and an agent who was covering the stairwell started to play with yyyyyyyy. Now, I'm glad to hear everyone finds yyyyyyy irresistible [she is, B"H, awesomely cute nowadays!!], but I hope she wasn't distracting from National Security. There was a female agent to protect Hadassah, and word is that Hani gave an excellent tutorial on the services to her. Senator Lieberman got an aliyah, after which the shul burst into "siman tov u'mazel tov", which is usually reserved for auf rufs, bar/bat mitzvahs, and the like. After Joe's aliyah, the gabbai said a mishaberach for Al Gore.
After torah reading the Rabbi gave a short address on "Hilchot Vice President" - the first in history. The major points were that security demands might in the future require a metal detector. The walk through kind would not be allowable, but the agent held devices would not be violative of shabbat and one could, and should, comply. Also, no interviews with the media on shabbat were to be given. In perhaps the first appearance in place of her husband, the Vice Presidential candidate, Hadassah was roped into the haftorah-kiddush club which the Senator has traditionally attended. The secret service no doubt has even greater appreciation for orthodox Judaism after seeing that 11:00AM shots of single malt scotch are part of the observance. The best L'Chaim was "Next year in the White House."
Hadassah said they have not yet thought about whether they would, if elected, build a sukkah at the Naval Observatory, which is the Vice President's home. The Rabbi's drasha was on a pasuk in V'Etchanan that states that following G-d's commandments will give one wisdom which will be respected by the other nations of the world. The Rabbi noted that Senator Lieberman - here and now- is an embodiment of the fulfillment of that pasuk. The president of the synagogue, Baruch Fellner, after the general announcements, spoke very poignantly. Noting that the District of Columbia has very few electoral votes, Baruch said how we, as a community, are touched that the shabbat after his being selected, Senator Lieberman would be in Kesher Israel; and on behalf of the synagogue welcomed him, Hadassah and Hani home. After services, the secret service quickly escorted Joe out of shul, and walked him home.
Luke The Lucky
Chaim Amalek writes: Luke, I know that this is very hard for you, because as a serious jew you no doubt wish you could link up with a nice jewish girl who is also marriage material (young, fertile, mentally and physically healthy, attractive, etc.) and who likes being with you. The probability that such a woman exists who was born and reared in American Jewish Secular culture is very very very low, as you are quickly discovering. Going the J-Date route will not help matters... Again, do what Moses, David, and Spielberg did/have done, and find yourself a nice daughter of christians who is amenable to conversion to your vision of judaism. Save her from joining some serious cult where she might harm herself. Marry a secular jewess and I guarantee that your life will be one of woe.
Again, traveling through California I am struck by the number of truly beautiful women out here. Don't you think you deserve one as a wife?
PS Lots of very nice, pretty things in your state, Luke. At least in the mostly white/chinese/japanese parts, where appreciation of Western civilization prevails. Makes New York City all the harder to take.
Meni writes: Lukey, you need help in relationships? remember this my friend "he who cares least, wins"
Fred writes: Sounds like you don't like person-to-person confrontation. I recommend that you never enter the legal profession--at least not as a trial lawyer.
Sir, am I correct in surmising that you instinctively position yourself as a doormat? That's what it sounds like, and I recommend that you try to not do that.
I wonder whether there is a role that you naturally gravitate toward that sabotaged this relationship from day 1. Sun Tzu says that all wars are won or lost before they start. I wonder whether all relationships succeed or fail before they start? (Wow! That sounds deep. Maybe I should shamelessly write a trashy self-help guide along these lines, filled with my own personal unreliable guesses about why relationships fail. I'll make zillions. Hey--you wanted to get work as a free-lance writer. Why don't you write a book along those lines and get it published. You can have 95% of the profits, if you get it published. I'll send to you a few more worthless theories about relationships that are probably wrong, and you can work them up into a masterpiece tome. Heck, maybe we can get Brandy, NJG and Kendra to throw in a few ideas.)
Wow--sounds like this girl really put a dent in your heart. I hope you're all right.
