Fritz The Cat Offers Luke His Big Break

Fritz The Cat writes Luke: O.K., but maybe the radio-show thing closer to the time where the event I was thinking of a role for you is gonna take place, or after it. It's gonna be at a club in the Valley and I was thinking of you being a journalist - that shouldn't be hard eh. Please go to my website http://www.FritztheCat.Net and pick a girl for an oral sex scene (at the 'You Make The Star' button.

There won't be any sex on the location, but it will be a two-part shoot, one for the oral sex scene and one for the event, with a cut-away from and back-to the 'event'. It will probably take place at either the end of this month or the end of June. Take care, sorry if I offended you by offering a sex role, but there is still a need for your role even if it doesn't involve the oral sex part.

Luke says: I report. You decide.

Jenna Jameson Starts Her Own Production Company

Jenna Jameson writes: Yes, Luke, I have started my own production company…Operating out of clubjenna.com, we have produced three movies so far. First up will be Sylvia Loves Jenna. Release date will be the beginning of July. I’m really excited about the movies I’ve shot so far… very stylized, very hardcore. We have also scheduled to begin shooting our big budget movie in August. It will be different than anything ever before seen in the adult industry! I will keep you updated…

Meni writes: Luke give me love. http://www.f---meni.com/menishoot1.jpg

Scott writes on BigDoggie.net: Jenna was great for years but she has gotten a little too skanky. I think Briana Banks will zoom to the the top. She is probably the best looking porn star ever! The only girl that rivals her is Chloe Jones and she has made very few movies. Chloe Jones has a much better ass but Briana has nicer tits and is much prettier.

As I said before, check out "Flash Flood 4". One of the most unbelievable deep throat bj's I've ever seen. A major wood raiser every time I watch it. She is not only gorgeous, but she gets a nasty look on her face while she's taking the tube steak, her lips curling into the sexiest sneer you've ever seen. If this girl ever decides to participate in our hobby, she'll have guys lining up to meet her!

Jenna's main asset was that she had that sweet, innocent look that belied her nasty sexuality. Since she's had plastic surgery, she doesn't look the same. She was on the cover of this month's Club, and I didn't even recognize her! She's still hot, but without that shy, innocent girl look, she's just one of a dozen hot pornstars. I think even Jenna know Brianna is an up and cummer. Jenna's newest interactive dvd has Brianna as a co-star.

Booking independents vs agencies.

Heather Barron writes: Luke, I'd be curious to know: 1. What the top or most common ADULT web site hosting companies are. 2. How much disk space do medium-huge sites like Asia and Jenna require? 3. Bandwidth usages monthly? I would be immensely turned on by some statistics. Asia are you wet yet? I've been researching hosting companies today since the transition between my former and newbie hasn't been smooth to say the least. On the phone, I encountered several free speech bashers denying my business because of they didn't like the content of my site. One guy told me that he wondered whether the fact that my dog is on my site was kosher. I told him that I wasn't f---ing my dog. Banking sucked but the business of taking a cock up the ass on the internet is brutal. Out to tea, Heather Barron.

Olivia Rocks - Not Her Farewell Tour, Please God?

BMH writes on BigDoggie.net: long time reader, first time poster, I have got to be honest I am not into the whole porn seen , but I have a friend of mind that kept e-mailing me sites and said I should do this, he claimed he as been doing it for a while, and has a blast. Well I was very reluctant because $$$, (so slick I know you read these posts all the time, so you know this is true.) Anyhow I decided I was going to see Olivia, mainly because she is a very tiny girl in most parts, and I like petite women.

I set up a 4 hour appointment, ( incidentally through Body Miracle ..Excellent experience)because I wanted to get to know her a bit, I thought afterwards it may have been a real stupid idea, because I have know idea what movies she's done or anything about the industry In fact I am amazed about how some of these guys know everything about all these ladies. Honestly, I can't find that much free time and still afford the rates, so conversation was potentially a real problem. I arrived at the hotel and asked if she wanted to have dinner, I quickly made reservations at little restaurant I know and to make a long story short the 4-hours were gone in what felt like a minute, we had a blast. Actually I was not even certain we would have time to get back to her room before my time was up--- however we managed just fine. I had such a great time I scheduled another 4-hours the very next day, and we had a blast all over again. This was nothing like what I expected-

Olivia is remarkable-- breathtakingly beautiful, classy, funny, sarcastic, classically bitchy, one of the greatest personalities I have ever been around. Initially my friend said I should try someone else especially for the money, because she gets mixed reviews and heard she's not all that nice---I would believe anything other than what I have stated would be slander against her. This chick is somebody I could hang out with for real long time. I don't know exactly what people need to have a great PSE, other than the basic instinctual gratification, that is commonly discussed on this board, but this was just a great experience…

Olivia is a wonderful person, I would imagine you see her now, because I can't imagine her being out there all that long. Time spent with her is like having a new best friend for the first time. I would never discuss anything more personal here call me old fashion or stupid, besides I did not know what to expect either, and still decided to book her, and offer a post , my friend said it is my civic duty. However there is certainly nothing about Olivia that would be disappointing---rumor has it she may be on a fare well tour…..Say it ain't so joe..say it ain't so.

Kendra Jade No Shows

Cheetah Bites writes on BigDoggie.net: i told you i would let you all know what happened with my getting together with kendra threw nici's girls. i was supposed to see her a few weeks ago but i couldn't get a confirmation. i had a time and date booked. i tried to get a hold of nici but was told the day after that kendra was a no show. nici said she tried to call me the day before but my phone was busy. it is possible she is correct and i was on the line but i should have been told a few days before so i could make other plans. i was told that kendra would be in town a few weeks later so i scheaduled another appointment with her. two days before i was to see her i got an e-mail from nici saying kendra cancelled. and so goes my expirience with nici and kendra.

Nici@Nicisgirls.com writes: Luke, Cheetah left out half the story and exaggerated the other half. Kendra did not go to Pittsburgh the first time because the club cancelled her and the second time they switched the venue to Boston. She is not on tour with Nici's Girls, she is on the road dancing. Cheetah is the only client she was going to meet in Pittsburgh. I let him know of the cancellation as soon as I found out about them, two days prior to the appointment both times.

XRCO Awards

Jeremy Stone introduces Jake Steed

Jeremy Stone honors Jim Enright

Jeremy Stone honors Dean Robeson (who's dying?)

Kylie Ireland, Kevin Korey honor the worst movie - Kid Vegas: Watch Me Camp, Bitch!

Luke reports, You Decide, (talks to Tom Byron)

Two nights ago, I had a frightening nightmare that I died at Thursday night's XRCO (X-Rated Critics Organization) Awards.

I decided that I would heed the premonition and not attend. I especially decided not to attend Thursday afternoon when I found out that my muscle, James DiGiorgio and Rob Spallone, were not going.

So I decided to go anyway and it seems that a pleasant time was had by all.

It was my first industry event in a year.

Jim Holliday was ill. VCA contract girl Kylie Ireland replaced him.

Evan Stone won for Best Male Performer. Jewel DeNyle won for Best Female Performer. Michael Raven won for Best Director. Wicked won for Best DVD.

At the end of the show, Adam Film World editor Jeremy Stone pointed me out and told the crowd of about 300 pornographers, "If any of you here are unhappy with the way tonight went, you can take out your feelings on Luke F-rd. He's right there."

Jeremy came down from the platform, placed his arm around me, and said, "I told you that hatred's a strong word."

A couple of months ago, I emailed Jeremy: "I thought you hated me." He replied: "Hatred's a strong word."

Is this industry mellowing or am I just mellowing? I detect few bloodthirsty feuds now in porn. I didn't sense any hatred tonight.

I felt abashed at the friendly reception I received. Porners were so nice, particularly Lisa Ann, Julie Meadows, Kim Chambers, Scott Styles and the Digital Playground crew, that I felt embarrassed considering all the nasty things I've written about the industry and particular pornographers.

Rumdar writes: Luke, It is good to see the Porners have welcomed you back into the errrrr! fold. Maybe now you will realize what an easy gig you have and tone down the vituperative comments. After all, someone has to do the dirty work and you are the best at what you do. Visualize a job at Starbucks or a temp agency and you will know how good l-keford.com has it.

Goddess writes: I *heart* the way you think, Lukey baby. You had a nightmare you died at the XRCO awards--I bet a lot of people sitting in the audience had the *same* dream--so you decided not to go. Then you heard JimmyD and Rob were not going, so you ESPECIALLY decided not to go. So you went....

GeneRossExtreme Sees Corruption In XRCO Awards

Veteran journalist GeneRossExtreme.com writes: The topper was when John Stagliano was called up to accept the Best Video Award for Buttman's Toy Stories. Thus beating out Tom Zupko's In the Days of Whore and AVN's winner, Nic Andrews' Dark Angels. Even Stagliano seemed mildly surprised to say the least, wondering aloud whether anyone had actually watched the feature. Jeremy Stone had to assure him moments later that an "overwhelming" amount of critics did and had voted for it. Even though it's arguable that an equally overwhelming amount could have given a s---. But that's what makes award shows, award shows: controversy and the fact that XRCO likes to pat itself over the head every year for being above the fray of the politics of other shows...

What makes matters worse, however, is that XRCO put it to Zupko in such a way to suggest that he'd be a real happy guy if he attended the awards show. Inmates on death row are happier campers.

Put it this way. You go to award shows you hear things. Things like maybe the fact that Jim Holliday being under the weather and not showing up wasn't exactly due to Holliday's being under the weather and not showing up. Story has it Holliday got banned over a flap created by last year's show when Jim Enright was supposed to have received an award and was glossed over.

Porn Pro writes: First Gene Ross and his whiny little bitch Zupko cried in their beer when Days of Whore didn't win AVN's best video award. Now they're doing it again in response to Whore being passed over at last night XRCO awards for Buttman's Toy Stories. Did it ever occur to those two clowns that maybe just maybe Whore ain't nearly as worthy as the Extreme spin-meisters would have everyone believe? Well, duh.

Luke Reports - You Decide: I arrived at 7:30 PM, by which time about 50 porners had already arrived.

Dee's husband Rob (DeeRob Enterprises) arrives with his contract girl Nikki Fairchild and Video Team contract girl Lacey Duval.

Rob: "Dee may be here later. She's working for Danni's Harddrive. Money comes first."

I meet Lisa Ann. She retired from porn in 1996 and has been dancing in clubs eversince. She's marrying her boyfriend of four years, Mike McMurphy, in six weeks. They're buying a home.

Mike and Lisa Ann tell me that Mike is frequently confused for me. Jenteal first pointed out the similarity.

David Christopher left his porn star wife Sana Few six months ago. Tonight he walks in with his friend Amber Lynn.

Tall blonde Porsche Lynn walks up. She looks like Lynn LeMay.

Joey Silvera walks up and recognizes me.

Joey: "I love your site man. Particularly when you make up the gossip. Keep making up the stories..."

Ironic comments given that three years ago, I published on this site an accusation from a reader that Joey was illiterate.

Joey: "You've got to talk to Jamie Gillis. He's the smartest guy in the business. And Ron Sullivan. Talking to Ron Sullivan is like talking to vapor. He's my hero."

Mark Spiegler aka Shylock walks up with a bunch of girls on his arm. Most can't speak English. They hail from Eastern Europe.

I talk to Wicked Pictures director Brad Armstrong, third in the line of power at Wicked behind owner Steve Orenstein and PR whiz Joy King.

Noting that all four Wicked girls are brunettes, Brad says: "We're looking for a hot looking big titted blonde who hasn't done much. Young, vivacious, happy to be a porn star."

"Happy to be a porn star," does not describe the departed Wicked girl Alexa.

KevinM00re: In other Wicked news, Temptress has concluded her contractual tenure with the company and will now be working on a by-project basis.

Brad: "We've just finished the Stephanie Swift movie Park Avenue. The latest one out is the Alexa move Mirage. It's got a Moroccan theme. Due to the bad weather, we've been taking it easy. Now that the good weather's come, we're going to start our bigger movies for the year."

Joy King walks up and my conversation with Brad comes to a close. I've posted many negative comments by Fezr Zeus about Wicked in the past week.

Later in the evening, my talk with Wicked webmaster Aaron Karakis, who resembles Alec Metro, also winds up shortly after Joy King stops by.

I spend 15 minutes talking with a vivacious Lisa Ann. She sports a million watt smile and resembles actress Julia Roberts.

Lisa says she's helping many dancers get into the business. She threeway calls the top photographers like Suze Randall and Earl Miller. She encourages the best looking girls to go straight to the major production companies, just like she did when she entered porn. And snagged a contract from Metro on her second day in.

Lisa Ann and Mike spent 44 weeks a year on the road dancing in clubs.

Jewel DeNyle won an award for Anal Queen. She gave credited to the other girls with "talented asses like Jewel DeNyle and Bridgett Kerkove, I bow down to her."

Jeremy Stone gave stirring speeches honoring the Hall of Fame inductees.

Porsche Lynn tells the crowd that she has no doubt that the world is a better place because of pornography.

Several speakers, especially Adam Film World's Jeremy Stone, say that if you don't like pornography, then f--- you.

What a particularly intelligent argument.

I spot John Stagliano's wife Tricia Devereaux walking up to Patrick Collins and giving him a big hug. Stagliano and Collins had an acrimonious split in 1996 and have sniped at each other eversince. Tonight though, Collins gave props to Stagliano for teaching him.

Stone said about Jake Steed: "This guy started over 12 years ago and has done over 500 movies. A lot of people call him different things like jumbo dick; you may call him The Deed, as in Jack The Deed Steed. But let me tell you a couple of things about this guy. He's been unfailingly the most consistent male performer along with T.T. Boy. Jake Steed is the guy you call on when you need wood, when you need heat, when you need the meat, when you need the cock that can f--- around the corner. You call Jake Steed. Yes you do. Trust me. I've seen more black and interracial pornography than any guy in the Unired States. This motherf---er can deliver the wood; he can deliver the goods non-stop every f---ing time. So when it comes right down to it, it don't matter who's been in the business, who's been in all the top videos, who can act. Jake Steed can deliver the wood all the time. In the last couple of years he's branched out; he's formed his own company. Forget the color lines, man, this guy delivers it all the time. He's crossed over into rock videos, hip-hop records. If you've got a girlfriend or wife she wishes she's f---ing Jake Steed. Your wife's probably jacking off to Jake The Deed Steed. There's nobody in this room that can equal what Jake Steed has contributed to the adult film industry. Everybody step back because Jake Steed's walking in the room." (Transcribed by Gene Ross)

Stone on Patrick Collins: "He told me what his vision for pornography was for pornography and I had to f---ing sit down because I couldn't believe it. He went on to do things for me like invite me to the set of Where The Girls Sweat. I went on the set of this Bruce Seven movie and this guy was there. He made it all happen... Take me to a desert island and I'll take this movie there to jerk off."

Most telling of all, Stone said about Collins approach to pornography (but it doubles for how many porners approach morality): "Because he decided to bend the rules, and break the rules, and reshape the f---ing rules and say 'f--- the rules. There are no rules. Because Patrick Collins makes the rules.'"

Stone and Collins seem to propound that we live in an age of "Moral Freedom," to quote the title of the new book by Alan Wolfe.

Stone: "Elegant Angel is one of the saving graces of this film industry. Because he stands up for what he believes in. You know what? He's called me on some s--- I've done and you know what? Sometimes he's right. And sometimes he's been wrong. And when I called him on it, he said, 'I love you man. It don't matter.' He's f---ing right. Because when it all comes down to it, we do this because we believe in it. And there's nobody that believes in what he does more than Patrick Collins...

"Because it's all about jerking off. It's all about what gets you hot. And there's nobody that makes me want to jerk off to a movie more than a guy who made me look at feet and say, 'Oh my f---ing God.'"

Collins lumbers up to the stage. He appears to weigh close to 300 pounds.

Pat thanked his cameraman Michael Cates. "John [Stagliano] showed me a lot of stuff. He was hard on me but..."

Stone talked about Jim Enright aka Jay Shanahan: "He used to be the circulation director for Hustler magazine. At one point he was the Vice President of Essex Video. And when he didn't agree with the Jewish cowboy cocaine conspiracy that was running that f---ing s---hole, he went down to the wharehouse and he shipped more pieces than anyone else who worked for them."

Kylie Ireland: "You know what they call suitcase pimps now? Webmasters."

Ireland says she once was one of Jim Holliday's Angels, but once she turned a redhead, Jim stopped speaking to her.

Helen Thompson, who toiled at AVN for six years, then went to Larry Flynt Publications, now edits Evil Angel's Buttman magazine.

I talk to Sin City contract girl Jessica Drake about her friend Alexa. I always saw the two together and I often had trouble telling them apart. Jessica says that once Alexa became a Wicked Pictures contract girl, she stopped hearing from her.

Unlike previous years, I don't see the big guys at the show. No (AVN publisher) Paul Fishbein, (Vivid Video owner) Steve Hirsch, (VCA owner) Russ Hampshire, (Wicked Pictures owner) Steve Orenstein...

Tom Byron walks by me and says, "Smile, it won't kill you."

Tom: "At least we won Best Anal scene...

"This is my first time being sober at one of these things. It's interesting.

"And I'm getting new furniture next week. I turned 40 last week. And I am getting new carpet before I get new furniture. I'm still living with Rob Black."

Ian writes: I for one will be disappointed if Heather Barron disappears from your site. She is obviously a person of intelligence and imagination. The fact that poetry doesn't help to sell her site is neither here nor there. Very few people can live on sales of their poetry. The point is that she is sufficiently imaginative and has the chutzpah (I hope that's right) to do it.

PeterXGranger@aol.com writes: Hi Luke, Our firm is based on Melbourne, Australia. We have been a computer telephony developer since the late 1980's. Amongst other things we have developed telephony based chat systems. They incorporate a number of switching, billing, configuration, and call center features. We intend to dramatically expand the scope of the system to convert it into a 'multimedia' exchange. That is, we add an interface that enables Web browsing users of adult, dating, and chat services to switch images of themselves (or others) to each other whilst also in voice conversation. Moreover, via the Web they may freely voice connect and disconnect from anyone displayed within photo-galleries. There are a number of variations of this theme. These include Web browsing members selecting connection with preferred hostessess, and these hostesses switching images of themselves to each member they are connected to, co-browsing other Web sites together, and setting up multi-party groupings. Connections between users may be either manual, or automated by the system. Users are timed-charged for usage of the system. We believe that adult Web sites in the future shall increasingly become sophisticated, audio-visual, 'virtual' mediums, with a variety of different themes - particularly with the advent of broadband Web connections. Ultimately, voice will also be also conveyed over IP networks, but in the meantime these systems will utilize conventional telephony switches - such as those developed by our firm. These may be linked in global virtual private networks utilizing gateways located in the USA, and other locations. We are interested in partnering with Web based adult providers, who can provide Web front ends to our systemn, and otherwise interface with Webmasters. We have made email contact with some in the industry, including Jeff Miller, Dean Shannon, and Greg Lasrado - so far without any interest. Can you advise if you think this idea is worth pursuing, and who you would recommend to make contact with. They would need to be honest, and well respected in the industry.

Jack writes: Montreal TV was mostly in French. You've not lived until you've watched "The Simpsons" in French. It's hysterical. Flipping through the channels one night I came across some soft-core stuff -- in French. I watched for a few minutes. The story was pretty basic. A tennis pro "teaches" a bored wife to hit the ball. Then they go back to her room for a drink of water. There she works on his balls. It was all frontal nudity. Heavy breathing, lots of sweat, soft focus, tinkle-tinkle music. Really boring.

Mostly I'm embarrassed by sex in the movies. The sexiest thing I have ever seen in film is in a Japanese film called "Ugetsu." A woman who is a demon has enticed a man into her enchanted room. he suspects that she's not human, but he's so powerfully attracted to her, that he ignores his rational thoughts. As they are making love, he wants to take off her kimono, but she won't let him. He becomes desperate to see her naked. They struggle. Finally, he rips at the kimono and sees that her back is covered with demonic tattoos -- evidently in Japanese mythology, this ink signifies that she's bad news. He pulls back, stunned afraid. Aware that he's making love to a dead woman. She smiles, crawls slowly towards him and seduces him all over again. And he falls into her arms and is carried away by his lust. Makes love to an evil demon. (Oh well, no girl is perfect) You never see her naked, but this scene is so erotic it just takes your breath away.

Another very sexy film is "The Lady Eve," written and directed by Preston Sturges. Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. She's a sexy con woman. He's a spider expert who's been up the Amazon for over a year. There's a scene where she makes him put a slipper on her foot. He fumbles and stumbles and finally crumbles to the floor. She toys with him mercilessly. It's funny and true and I strongly recommend this film. It's one of the great screwball comedies of all time. And the "slipper scene" is one of the sexiest things ever played out between a man and a woman.

Yankel writes: It's no wonder Christianity triumphed over Judaism in terms of population.

a) Christianity dispenses with pure monotheism, (Rambam never believed that Christians were true monotheists.) replacing Judaism's Ha-shem with the trinity. Now, I know all the fancy theological footwork , but zillions of Christians who worship don't make such fine distinctions and they can return to their pagan roots, worship multiple gods, and still be good Christians.

b) Christianity also reinstated human sacrifice. Judaism worked so hard to get rid of it. But the early Christians understood how deeply ingrianed in the human psyche it is (not to mention it's erotic appeal) and to get as many converts as possible among the goyim they used the "blood" thing with a fancy theological overlay, and a huge distortion of Torah (as we see it, natch.) No wonder Chritianity rules in South America, where the history of human sacrifice is still so fresh and vivid. Judaism is way to demanding, way too pure, way too abstract.

Gemara says that one of the names that most indicates a goy is "Lucas."

Yitzhock writes: I'm always amazed when people convert to Judaism. It's such an unsexy religion. As opposed to Christianity. For women, they get J, all naked and bloody, and helpless. The symbolism is so obvious it's painful. For men they get Mary, the mother of God. Huge knockers, a virgin, yet she somehow had sex--with God? Great stuff. And all so erotic. How can we compete with that? With the Talmud? One bull gores another bull. Come on. So whenever I meet a ger, I'm to say the least, amazed. Especially if it's a reaally good looking girl. I mean Judaism is such a non-aesthetic religion. I guess it explains why I admire you so much. (Even though you're not a good looking girl.) Why I'm perplexed by you. Why I worry about you. But one thing is clear. You didn't come to Judaism for the sexy imagery. You definitely found that elsewhere.

MJ writes: Before there were movies there was the theater. If you study the history of art you'll find that theater was considered a moral cesspool. In Jane Austen's novels, the theater and actors were synonymous with whorehouses. Novels too were for a long time considered morally bankrupt, not fit for proper society. All art forms are ill-used. You can take a strip of film and make "Citizen Kane." Or take the same strip of film and make a Seymour Butts movie.

I've never met a Reform Jew who knows anything. Their main interest seems to be in davening with black congregations. My non-Jewish friends know more Torah than most Reform Jews and have more respect for Torah than most Reform Jews. I think that most Reform Jews secretly want to be Protestant, and they are getting their wish. The intermarriage rate in their "shuls" is in the stratosphere.

The article [Shma.com] you sent me makes me laugh. Back in the 60's the sociology "experts" were expertly predicting the death of Orthodoxy. We were out of step. We could not confront the challenge of "youth culture," we could not answer "feminism", we were "medieval". On and on. Here's my answer to the sociologists: Torah is eternal, has proven itself quite well, thank you. You guys are self-serving ( and usually pathetic) academics with (mostly) axes to grind, and very limited points of view. In the end, it doesn't matter what they say. My sons and I will continue to learn together. And that is our strength. They will do what they do based on intellectual fashion.

Jewish swingers

From the Forward.com: On Friday nights, Steve and his two young sons pray at their Conservative synagogue in Los Angeles. On Saturday nights, after the havdala ritual marking the end of the Sabbath, Steve and and his wife Sara would, until their recent separation, head to a swing party at a private residence, hotel or club.

Can one practice Judaism, raise a family and have sex with multiple partners on the weekend? According to the couple, who became swingers two years ago after 15 years of marriage, the answer is, "why not?"

The couple's Jewish identities were as strong as their libidos, yet like most Jewish swingers — and there are plenty of them, they say — they kept their religious or cultural lives in the closet.

Elazar writes: I read something like that and I feel vaguely ill. But I also have a feeling that these people's involvement with shul is seriously overstated for the benefit of the article. I trust journalists (no offense) about as much as I trust Chinese propagandists. In any case, I have no doubt that Conservative Jews commit adultery and call it "swinging." Conservative Judaism has never been terribly successful at imbuing Torah values in its people. Duh. The Conservative and Reform are better at propagating the latest platform of the the Democratic party or whatever leftist cause is the craze of the moment. For instance, attacking the Boy Scouts seems very big with the Reform movement right now. In short, I'm not upset by the article. Not even surprised. I would be if it were about couples who attended an Orthodox shul.

Kimi Lixx Talks Back

James DiGiorgio and I interviewed Kimi Lixx Tuesday.

Listen to the show. Read the chat here.

Kimi writes: Luke, I just finished reading the chat log from the show I was on. I was really disappointed. I'm not sure what I expected to find, but whatever it was, I didn't find it. It seems that I came across racist, pitiful, stereotypical and goodness only knows what else. So, while this may do more harm than good, I thought I'd address some of the things from the chat log and try to get my view across.

shiningpath> Kimmi, please provide us with a complete list of venereal diseases you have encountered in you porn career shiningpath> I mean among your costars
shiningpath> Kimmi, do you insist on condoms in all your films?

Kimi writes: So far I don't seem to have encountered anyone with anything. That is to say, I don't have anything detectable, no HPV (warts), no herpes, no HIV, no anything else. Either I'm lucky, resistant or have only had clean partners. I don't insist on condoms, condoms are unlikely to protect against herpes or HPV (since skin to skin is all thats necessary for transmission and HPV and herpes can be shed from any infected area - not just the genitals) everyone has to present their current HIV tests (and I'm comfortable with that level of psuedo protection), everything else, except hepatitis (yes, I'm afraid of that, but you roll the dice and you take your chances) is curable.

mikesouth> ask kimi about her religious background
janedoe> is Kimmi a christian?

Kimi writes: I was born into a Baptist christian family, I was firm in that faith until I was about 12, I didn't give up Christianity, I just lost faith in it. When I was 15 I married a Mennonite (for those who don't know, that is the christian sect the Amish split off from, very conservative folks) and as a good wife, I followed his church practices, though I had no real faith. During the time I was married I had plenty of opportunity to see the good and the bad in the church, it seemed to me that these people were no different than anyone else I had ever known. Some of them were liars, some were cheating on their spouses, some stole from their employers - none of them were perfect and many weren't even "good". After I divorced I left the church because there just was no reason for me to stay, I didn't believe and I had no obligation. I chose not to find any other religion because I just don't feel a need for it in my life. I don't need to be forgiven, I don't need mercy, I don't need a! n afterlife. I'm willing to take responsibility for my actions in this life and make my own way through it and make my own decisions on what is right and wrong for me.

shiningpath> LUKE!!!!! Ask her which family member raped her
trixy> Am I the only one who hasnt been molested in the biz?
brandyalx> No Trixy. I wasn't.
brandyalx> Don't you hate these ridiculous stereotypes?

Kimi writes: Yes, I was a sexually abused child. My step father did it. I was 6 when it started and 14 when it ended. It ended because I left home. Did I get into the adult industry because I was a molested child? I don't think so. Is there an unusually large number of women in this industry who were molested? The statistics say 1 in every 3 girls in this country are molested. Between trixy, Brandy and I it sure looks like one in three. Perhaps it just seems like an usually large number because in most businesses people aren't free to discuss their sexual lives. In this one we're supposed to be able to be open about it. Yes, I hate ridiculous stereotypes, too. I don't think I'm a stereotypical victim, and I don't think I'm a stereotypical porn chick.

shiningpath> Raped as a kid, tortured as an "adult"
brandyalx> That would round out the sob story, wouldn't it

Kimi writes: No, it wouldn't. I have never been abused as an adult. The injury discussed happened before I left home.

shiningpath> I would rather hear more about them than these mutiliated broken women

Kimi replies: I don't feel mutilated or broken. Have I been hurt? Yes. Am I a despondant disaster because of it? No. I'm a strong-willed, intelligent, moderately insecure, ordinary person. Nothing more, nothing less.

shiningpath> Kimmi, have you ever had sex with a black man?
shiningpath> would you?

Kimi replies: Yes I have, and yes I would. I mentioned that I had been told by some industry people that I shouldn't do interracial scenes as it would harm my career. I also mentioned that I have already done one interracial scene, though it was only a bj. I thought it was funny that, at the time, I didn't even notice he was black. I'm not insensitive, it just doesn't matter enough to me what color someone's skin is. I remember the jokes he told, I remember how considerate he was, and I remember his name - his skin color just didn't matter.

sinderoluminoso> Ask her what she thinks of jews as folk

Kimi replies: I think they're just regular folk, like anyone else. I don't think they're evil, I don't think they're special. I don't think they have a conspiracy to economically control the world. I think the holocaust was a horrible thing. I think people enslaving other people, of any nationality, is also a horrible thing. I do believe that once you have learned from the past its time to move on. Remember it, but don't ruminate on it.

trixy> What's her average pay per scene?

Kimi replies: I'm not sure I've had enough experience to have an "average" yet.

kb> Kimmi have you ever f---ed a loser?
kb> or paid his rent?

Kimi replies: No, at least not as far as I know.

meni> Movies taht SUCK? 99% of PORN MOVIES SUCK

Kimi replies: By "suck" I meant that the product itself was of poor quality. I'm no judge of the content, I wouldn't know a good jack-off flick if it bit me on the ass. When the video quality is so poor that you can barely view the content, when the lighting is off, the sound is spotty and the editing is so bad that you can't even follow the scenes - it sucks.

meni> Ask her to Spell, Broke Ass Whore Besides "what would she do for a Klondike Bar?"

Kimi replies: This is the last comment I felt needed addressing. (I'll get to the Klondike thing in a minute) I'm not doing porn for the money. If I was I'd be a lot more serious about it. I have a good education, I've worked "regular" jobs before, and I'm sure I will again. I own my home, I own my car, I'm not in debt and I don't have any habits that are likely to get me into debt. I don't support a boyfriend and my ex-husband co-parents faithfully and financially. Why am I doing porn? Because I thought it would be fun! Because I got a kick out of the idea that the wretched kids who teased me in school for being an ugly duckling would now be jacking-off looking at me! I think pornography is a hoot! I think sex is fun, I think people are way too uptight about it! This is my own personal, self-centered, raspberry at the world. - I don't like ice cream - I wouldn't do anything for a Klondike Bar!

Chaim Amalek writes Luke: 1. Your links are getting disgusting. Especially the one currently at the bottom of the site. If I were a rabbi, no way would I permit a congregant to hawk such material. Aren't there any other ways for you to make a buck on the margins of this business? Look at that nice jewish boy who owns sex.com. Why can't you be more like him?

2. Regarding the Kimmi correspondence, I know that the SinderoLuminoso (Shining Path) feel terrible. For them to mock a woman who clearly was put through hell when she was defenseless and thereby transformed into a sex worker (isn't that how most sex workers in this country come to be?) is inexcusable.

Robert writes: MR. FORD... I would like to extend my sincere wishes for a HAPPY PASSOVER. Reading the honesty from Ms.Lixx regarding her trauma during her childhood and entering this Holy Holiday period for all Jewish people.. ...I will give an extra hug to my 2 1/2 year old daughter.Thank GOD I am living a clean and sober life. And thank HIM for entrusting me with the opportunity to be a father. HAPPY PASSOVER LUKE. Respectfully, Robert Lombard of Creative Image.

AOL vs CEN

Porn's leading webmasters are holding their breath over the outcome of the AOL vs CEN lawsuit.

America Online is going after Fort Lauderdale's Cyber Entertainment Network (CEN) for allegedly spamming millions of its members with ads for X-rated web sites.

Earlier this week, I posted the views of people who follow spam matters closely. They were highly skeptical, to say the least, of CEN's commitment to fight spam.

antispam@blarg.net writes on the newsgroup news.admin.net-abuse.email: "In short, AOL says that although it is "affiliates" that are doing the spamming, Cyber Entertainment knows they spam and condones it."

mpaulsen@charter.net writes on news.admin.net-abuse.email: "I don't believe it's just a case of CEN turning a blind eye or even encouraging the conduct. I see a difference between paying for clicks and "hiring and retaining" the spammers. Back in February of last year CEN posted to the ynot message boards when UU.net pulled the plug on some of their sites. In response, someone pointed out that CEN had in-house staff whose only job was to spam ICQ and AOL. I don't believe CEN responded and nobody else entered the fray in CEN's defense. It appeared to me to be common knowledge, or at least entirely believable to the rest of the crowd. I can't prove that level of involvement by CEN, but I'd bet all my quatloos that AOL will be able to prove it if CEN doesn't settle the case first."

CuriousJohn@Excite.com writes: "I have two different periods of run ins with trueceleb and celebticket, one during the same period as you in August and another in October. In both cases spam for truecelebs went on and on and complaints were ignored and then it switched over to celebticket (where of course, complaints were ignored)."

This lawsuit affects the entire industry because it threatens the webmaster affiliates model. The suit largely revolves around CEN's affiliates, who are not CEN employees. Anybody can go to CENCash.com, sign up for CEN's programs, and then start spamming them. One of the big questions is, how quickly and effectively does CEN react when its affiliates spam?

Joseph Elkind and John Bennett, the two owners of CEN, have long and loudly proclaimed that CEN does not profit from spamming and that it immediately terminates its affiliates who do spam.

But I've obtained emails sent in 1999 by Elkind and Bennett which appear to show a different approach to spammers.

A webmaster writes Luke: "We were doing a private traffic deal with Joe E and CEN. It was all spam traffic and Joe and John knew it. I have old emails of them telling [my employee] to change accounts because of too many complaints. We were just middling the deal between CEN and this guy who was doing the spamming. CEN didnt know this guy and they wanted to.

"XXX called me a few months after this went down, and said remember that ICQ spammer I was working on, well I have 13 computers spamming ICQ all day and we get sometimes 300 signups a day. He also told me that he was in charge of spam complaints so he and CEN didnt give a s--- as long as their signups came in.

"I think this one [email below] would KILL them with the AOL mess that they are in. They admit to taking the spam."

John Bennett (JB), co-owner of CEN, writes April 26, 1999 to the webmaster connected to the spammer: "Please change to another extension. AOL engineer is up our ass."

Niles aka Nigel (a CEN employee?) writes 4/26/99: "JB, I know this is a pre-paid account and I can't very well cut it off but somebody has to say something to... This Bob Hirsch is a hellcat with apparently a lot of resources at his command. I've been getting complaints weekly about this account and if we don't take some sort of action to curb his marketing techniques I'm afraid that we could be held liable.

"Also, I need to placate this Hirsch guy [Principle Engineer for AOL Technologies Robert Hirsch complaining about spam pushing CEN's sites]. I temporarily blackholed the account last week and replied to Hirsch but I don't know if that will work again this week so I'm looking to you for ideas on the best way to handle it. Niles a.k.a. Nigel ;)"

Bob Hirsch writes 4/25/99: Spam follows at the end of this missive. So, if you could please:

BBN - please nuke this luser's account
NetValue - please close your mail server to third party relays - see MAPS Transport Security Initiative for some pointers on how to best go about this
Angelfire - this is getting tiring; please nuke this page too.
Nigel/Joe - another "webmaster" for you to terminate sans payment. BTW, where is your AUP on spammers posted?

Joe E - Get a load of this! Your porn site customer, TRULY18.COM spammed me before! I reported it to Niles on the 20th. The site was still up and they spammed me again!! They sent my kids more porn link spam and you told me - "Sorry, account terminated!" when I reported it - but the site is still up 6 days after first reporting it to POWERSITE!!
