Holly Body Escort Review

JStreet writes on BigDoggie.net: Although I should warn you, she was kind of hit or miss. She was a big fav of mine, but sometimes she was almost lifeless, but then other days she really got into it; the body is perfect so it's worthwhile. So I guess what I'm saying is if you catch her on a bad day, try again and she might cum.....around.

She's a Silverlake regular. I don't know about recently, but I used to see her there all the time. Give them a call, if anyone knows they will.

Harley Rayne can be booked for escorting in NYC thru www.corporateaffairs.com.

Jennifer - Wow!

Max writes: Hi Luke- Had to comment on the bigdoggie.net or whatever its called, you know the prostitution Internet site where people rate their time with prostitutes. This one guy brags that he is good friends now with a prostitute named Jennifer.... He makes it sound like he has an acutal friendship with this woman (emailing her) (making comments such as she is very picky who she goes with etc..) but must pay her five-hundred dollars for her to perform oral sex on him. Tell me, whats wrong with this picture? Only in America. Luke- it seems like you get the strangest and saddest audience.

Eran writes: Um..NyPhil writes on Bigdoggie net revealing he's an idiot! Time is money. He's not making alot, while scheming to know her. Seeing her strip shows in various cities is costly. Count that tip money he's spent already. He's a Ten Spot big shot guarenteed! $100 a night, seeing the shows. Weeks of email back and forth with the lady and he's only good for $500 when they finally hook up.

Let's add up. Lunch with the lady wasn't McDonalds. Out to impress a stripper, had to be a trendy place he never goes to consistently. To be seen with her, friends would have plenty of questions! That's a $100 lunch. The wine, that's $75! Taken from the same manual as Robert Hassen, the traitor spy. I think its called FLOUTING.

How new to the business if she quotes escort prices like that? I guess all the money he's given to her wasn't enough to lead her out of the biz! Her money grubbing treating him like a john ruined his idea, she' s perfect wife material! She then FLOGGED him for a lot of money. What, that take five to ten minutes in an alley!

I don't know. New York is an expensive enough place to live. Is the experience worth the price gouging? Now he's a player on Bigdoggie and a lot poorer for it. If he would invest that money into himself and attract a nice girl that doesn't strip and hook for a living. Then the BJ's are free. Get a clue Phil, please! That review is not in the spirit of Bigdoggie.net.

Fred writes: Sir-- At the risk of displaying my formidable ignorance, exactly what does "BBBJ", "DATY" and "DFK" mean? (I can guess what "BJ" means. What is "BBBJ"--a BJ from someone who stutters?

l-keford.com Photo Caption Contest

JMT writes: A photo-caption contest is called for here. First place gets a remaindered copy of "A History of X"; second place gets two copies, and so forth.

My entry is: "Whaddaya mean, there ain't no more Ding-Dongs?!"

Mike South suggests:

1. So when does this Bukkake thing start anyway, I'm horny, and where the f--- is Fritz?

2. Waiting for Lunch to be served at Lompoc

3. The Brethren hold Court at Trumble - Admittedly a tad obscure but lets see who gets it (The Brethren is John Grishams latest legal novel, it sucked same as the pic)

Rumdar suggests: You called us suitcase WHAT..........?

"And now for the three finalists in the 2001 Weight Watchers cookoff".....

Andy suggests: "The Soprano's Family Complaint Department awaits its next customer."

Fred writes: Regarding your caption contest, here are my entries:

1. I think I can identify the suspect from the line-up. Officer, they're all guilty.

2. O.K., you three are going to have to stay after class. There's nothing more low-down than bringing smut to catechism class! Just wait til Mother Superior hears about this!

3. Here are the guys for your first gang-bang scene. Mom, are you sure you want to go through with this?

4. O.K., which one of you guys was beating off in confession?

5. The last scoundrel who tried to date my daughter tried to kiss her on the first date. From now on, all prospective suiters will be questioned by this panel of experts to make sure that they are of proper moral character.

By the way, Luke--what prize do I win if my caption is selected?

MikeSouth.com sends in this new picture.

JRob suggests: "Its oozing. Its green. But, it didn't show up on an ELIZA, so you're hired!"

Brandy Alexandre suggests: Photo caption, left to right: "She looks like my sister." "I'd do her." "Smells like Lois Ayres."

Rob suggests: Y'know . . . you take a lot of pictures and this could be an easy, fun thing for you to administer. There once was a site called "The Dysfunctional Family Circus" which encouraged captions for Family Circus cartoons. It was hysterical until King Features pressured it into shutting down. The site administrators still do similar things with other pictures. Do a search and check it out. The porn site pictures you take are often BEGGING for a good caption. Just a thought.

Goddess writes: Speaking of photo captions, how 'bout some for *this* pic?

Here's mine...."For just $20, you can feed this poor Australian boy for an entire month..."

What Do Retired Porn Stars Do?

>I'd love to hear any interesting new things retired pornstars are >doing.

Helpful writes on RAME: I am willing to bet that most porn stars' post XXX careers involve the phrase, "Would you like to 'super-size' that for 39 more cents?"

Bro writes: I'd bet on it being their PRE-XXX careers as well. So, in other words, the cycle of life is complete. What goes around comes around.

Gloria Leonard writes: In response to the postings about what retired porn stars do, let's see - Veronica Hart is an executive/producer/director at VCA, Candida Royalle continues her success with her Femme series, distributed by Adam and Eve, Annie Sprinkle gets big bucks for her performance art appearances, Veronica Vera has a unique enterprise, a cross-dresser's academy called "Miss Vera's Finishing School for Boys Who Want to be Girls" which also resulted in a best-selling book now in its second printing, I am a private tutor to high school students and have written and edited a book for a well-known family about their history. Additionally, Vanessa del Rio became a world-class body builder, Jennifer Welles and Lesllie Bovee both are rumored to have married very well, C.J. Laing owns a restaurant in the SF Bay Area, Juliet Anderson (Aunt Peg) and Kay Parker are into new-age healing practices, plus I have known several other women who used porn money to put themselves through colleges/universities and became lawyers, doctors, etc. Super-size this, you misogynistic assholes!

Luke Gets Mail

Amused writes Luke:  Move over Jenna and Asia!  There's a new girl in town vying for the top of the porn ladder.  Mr. Orenstein and Mr. Hirsch.  Let the contract bidding war begin!  Beauty thy name is Davina.

Dee-Anne writes: Hi my name is Dee I am a cub scout leader in n.s.w. [Australia]. I have a young man who has just join and all I am looking for is his believes and the things at he cant do or eat. has I have no idea of the Jewish ways. But I would like to learn more so if you can help me or tell me where to find it on the net I would much like that. Thank you for taking time to read this.

Luke says: Try www.Jewish.com.

Joe writes: i would really like to know if you have any updates on the beautiful logan. she is so sexy and beautiful. we really dont hear much about her except from your site. if you could pass her along my email address again i just want to tell here she looks like a picture of class. i havent seen any movies of her yet but im sure men cant last long.

Ben Zona writes: I don't know what that Blah guy is talking about. Jewel DeNyle is absolutely gorgeous and it's cool to see a porn chick with a real woman's body, as opposed to a stick with gross, melon-like appendages that look like they're gonna burst through the skin at any moment. And as to your comment about Kiki D'aire emulating Jessica Drake or Sydney Steele's body - that obviously isn't her body type, which is made to look more athletic. There is no reason why healthy women should starve themselves - if their bodies got as thin as you desire, their faces would look haggard and you would be complaining that they looked like addicts! There are obviously plenty of porn girls you like, so why don't you just rent their videos?

Hank Rose writes: Luke: Sorry I had to mouth off at the competition. But you hit a nerve or soft spot with the defamatory "goomba" reference. A fellow like me who has olive skin and an eastern accent could not find or function in nornal 9 to 5 work because of Hollywood stereotypes. So I wound up in porn...where I shot orgasms and not guns.

If indeed as many of us Southern Europeans were criminal rogues as American pop culture would have you believe, then we would rule this country like we did half the world during the Roman Empire, which lasted almost 1000 years. Just as well, Italy would not have been overrun by the French until Garabaldi arrived on the scene if we were all criminal predators.

If 40 million of us were evil and ruthless like the Sapranos, then John Gotti would be a White House dictator and not a mobster dying in prison. Be that as it may, because I sound like a made man even though I enjoyed a fun modest career making women in front of a camera, I can't shake the caricature image in people's minds perpetuated by the media.

I've been a published writer since the age of 21. I have an IQ well into triple digits. I have a singing range that allows me to belt out anything from folk rock to R&B to Frank Sinatra. I once threw a baseball 97 mph. at an amusement park sports camp. If anything, I am closer in character and personality to a modern day Renaissance Man than to a sad, sorry stereotype.

A word of advice for you. You do not need to be a Jew or Italian to be accepted in Hollywood. Just be yourself, the person you were before the lure of the Tinseltown bright lights somehow told you that you had to change in order to fit in. For you do not. You are simply attracted to the heat of sin and then cry foul when its fire burns you.

Deep down inside you crave some sort of sexual spotlight. No social moth is lured to the glory of celebrity without being all caught up in the fame game. When you feel alienated that you have not been accepted, it is only because you are the International Enquirer of this biz.

It's nothing personal. Gossip columnists and reporters are hated the world over. You are only new to porn and would be old hat in the real world. If you worked in legit Hollywood, you might make more money and get more recognition. But the hot women wouldn't be so easily available and there for the taking. Look at A.J. Benza. I doubt he gets as lucky as you.

If you enjoy sex but feel that public depictions are immoral, then the guilt trip was ingrained on you by social and religious conditioning and not any conscious choice made from birth. People who take to religion do so because they fear pleasure and life itself. So don't find solace in religion, for it is an opiate of the masses who fear death and need something to believe in to maintain their happiness and sanity before they leave this world.

If there is a God, it is a force and not an old man in a robe and beard who chooses one people over another. Depending on where you go, there are many Gods to choose from. Yet the universe is infinitely full of other stars, galaxies, planets and life forms. So is the God of earth the center of it all? That's arrogant wishful thinking. Preposterous. Unthinkable.

If Jews are successful or have been oppressed it is not because they are chosen. Rather it is because they managed the triumph and misfortune of establishing the world's first organized religion. So they stick together like glue to fight the hatred and jealousy. But it's more a result of blind evolution rather than some divine selective manifest destiny.

This is why wise well educated people do not believe in an anthropomorphic God. This world is in a state of chaos---wars, famine, etc. With all the bad things that happen, sex in front of a camera is a healthy escape from it all no matter whether you're a jerkoff fan or an adult sexual athlete. So I'm proud to be PORNISH and I practice PORNISM. Now all I need to do is to talk my Jewish wife into an open marriage wherein I can make a cumback. Is anybody in the market for a 38 year old hasbeen pornstar? I built a career on monster facials. And I still got my greatest hits tapes to prove it.

Hank Rose writes: Luke: Frankly, I think the one I just sent you is better. As is this one. I contemplated a conversion to Judiasm to appease my wife. Then I realized that I'd rather worship a God of all men rather than a one dimensional one. But a God of all men doesn't exist as far as I know. Each mythological deity choses its own people. If man's concept of God were correct, there would only be one. Logic and common sense dictates that.

You still owe me a a copy of your History Of X by the way. And I wanted your help in reuniting Margold with his twin brother. There are good things you can do to balance the journalistic bad blood because there are some good people in this biz, Luke. They live lives of hedonism and excess for opposite reasons why religious people worship.

Some of us fear death and live by a set of rules to prepare for Judgment Day. Yet as a rule, showbiz people live life to its fullest because they have suffered and therefore are oblivious and fearless of establishment norms. Those who worship are fearful of the consequences of so-called immorality before they leave this world.

But I honestly feel if God had a laundry list of evil earthly affairs deemed wrong, then He would intervene in the here and now and not the hereafter. Because there is a hell of a lot more wrong with this world than public lay for pay.

I know you have a porner's mentality in your heart and soul. Maybe even in your libido. If you ever beat off to a video or got a BJ from a starlet, then that's the nature of the beast. In which case, you are part of porn and porn is part of you whether you like it or not. You will only exorcise it from your system and cum full circle when you wet your wick in front of the hot lights. Mark my words.

I too started out as a scribe. But I used my forum as access to realize my true aspirations. For me, it was like being invited to a banquet to watch everyone else eat and write about it. Do not let popular puritan beliefs that exist in the world form your opinions on morality. If your father were not a Christian, then you would not think porn is wrong.

To hang out in the gutter and not admit that it is making you dirty is utter hypocracy. Sex is art and beauty. Don't be turned on to that beauty and then say the glass is half full and the eyes of the beholders are blind. Recreate yourself to fit your emotional needs. Philosophers, spiritualists and writers spend too much time writing and thinking instead of living.

Eventually you will no doubt evolve to fit the porn scene. In life, change is inevitable. Just try to realize that bad people exist in showbiz in general and not just porn in specific. To beat a dead horse on the sex media is like reporting that the fire in hell is hot and burns. Someday you will tire of it.

Either settle down and meet a nice Jewish girl or become one of us. The power of porn lust beckons you. Is it evil? No. It just feels good and makes babies. God's gift for recreation and procreation. But like that tree that falls in a forest but makes no sound if no one is there to hear it, a career in porn makes no sense unless and until the sin of wetting your wick has gone public.

XXX: Luke.i have an interesting lead for you...if you want to go after it....its about tabetha Stevens...

XXX: seems on teh surface like not a big deal....except for who teh players involed might just turn out to be..

YYY writes: Luke, whoever that is does not know Tabitha well. She is from College park, Long Island and other places on the Island. Her Family lives in Las Vegas. She came to wiseguy meetings. She would be in the restaurants or places but not included. She knows lots of mobsters on a first name basis. She is friends with one of Sonny Franzese guys.

Tabitha was at San Gennero`s in Culver City, Ca, when there was a meeting at which Mike Esposito, Kenny Gallo, mobster Fat Stevie Cino, John Bronco, Tony Angeoletti, and Vince Lupo met. Mike was chummy with Mob Rat John Bronco and the whole thing was caught on tape thanks to John Bronco, Tony Angeoletti who were both working for the FBI. The FBI not only taped this meeting, it was outside taking pictures. Steve Cino is in the Las Vegas Black Book [meaning, he is banned from all the casinos].

Brooke Lane vs Quasarman

Obese mob director James DiGiorgio, whose Italian criminality runs in his genes, conducted an interview with well known Penthouse model and escort Brooke Lane last week. I got a copy of the tape Monday and I was going to transcribe it, but then I thought, Quasarman did a good job of summarizing the main points on his site QuasarmanRants.com, so why don't I simply crib from him and enjoy that John Updike novel?

Brook alleged on Jim's tape:

1. It was Quasarman himself, not Brooke Lane who was under the influence of a controlled substance on the day of June 11th 2001.

2. She never said "I’m not an actress, that’s why I’m in porn".

3. The script for Quasarman’s movie was "stupid, insulting and made no sense". she also claims that she had no time to prepare for her role as she did not receive the script in advance.

4. Quasarman appeared both "stressed out" yet clearly "stoned". She does not clarify how these two seemingly incongruous states can co-exist.

5. The YAHOO corporation, in particular YAHOO MAPS, is woefully ill-equipped to dispense accurate driving instructions.

6. Ms.Lane consumed "only two glasses of wine" on the set of Quasarman’s movie and was not in any way "drunk".

Mike McCormick aka Quasarman responds to these charges:

I am not surprised...that Brook Lane has received scads of work after my angry tirade regarding her infantile behavior on my set last week. It is, and has been, the policy of this industry to reward morons of every stripe with forgiveness and continued employment. Case in point – Alexandria Quinn, a lying whore who cost this industry millions of dollars by lying about her age and then portraying an innocent young girl corrupted by pornography on Hard Copy has a contract with Elegant Angel and has no trouble finding producers and directors willing to pay for her services. Buck Adams, a man for whom crack was invented and to my knowledge has never completed a movie is gainfully employed in the adult industry.

1. It is possible that members of my crew were smoking marijuana on the day in question although I didn’t see it. With the exception of my still photographer and my Gaffer I have a crew of idiots and this does not surprise me. HOWEVER, as a life long sufferer of anxiety related disorders, specifically panic attacks, it is not possible for me to smoke marijuana. The last time I attempted to was 4 years ago and I ended up summoning a cab to take me to the hospital. Not an experience I’d enjoy repeating and I will gladly pee into a bottle, preferably one which Ms.Lane is about to drink from, to prove this allegation untrue. I have never been a user of any other type of narcotic either (except for the occasional Xanax tablet which I purchased at a Mexican pharmacy)

2. Brooke’s defiant denial that she did not utter the words, "I’m not an actress, that’s why I’m porn" is absurd. My entire goal in life is to conjure up witty one liners at the expense of others and so when I said "I’m not a director, that’s why I’m in porn" it was a direct result of her previous utterance. Several witnesses were also present, including Stevie, the girl whom she was speaking her parts to and who was also holding up the script off camera so that the glassy-eyed Lane could read it.

3. The script for my movie was indeed "stupid and insulting" as are most scripts in adult movies but it clearly made sense. When alcohol induced dyslexia kicks in, it sometimes makes reading comprehension difficult. As for not having the script in advance, she had 3 hours in the makeup chair to familiarize herself with the massive 11 page tome but with one of her hands clutching a glass at all times, it made turning pages difficult.

4. Was I stressed out? Yes, I was. When the star of your movie arrives five hours late it doesn’t usually induce a sense of serene tranquility.

5. My production manager Scooby was in charge of dispensing accurate directions to the location and though it’s true he did get them via Yahoo maps, no one else booked for the shoot got so lost that it took them five hours to get there. My guess is that Brook despises Yahoo because that is the sound uttered by the creepy Uncle who touched her inappropriately at a young age.

6. She claims that she had only "two glasses of wine". That’s only true if the two glasses she is describing were Double-Gulp tumblers from 7-11. Ironic, considering that Ms.Lane is apparently a successful graduate of Alcoholics Anonymous. My guess is that she skipped over the chapter in the Big Book entitled "Admitting you have a problem".

In closing I’d just like to say that my reputation as a no-nonsense mediocre pornographer stands untarnished against the accusations of this shameful harlot and her feeble attempt at slander. I expect continued employment in the industry which has so cruelly crushed my dreams and robbed me of my spirit and which I have dedicated myself to so unselfishly if only because Alexandria Quinn is somewhere in the Valley right now with a penis in her mouth.

Brandy Alexandre adds: That was a complaint of mine for years. Jerry Butler and his book is another example. On the flip side, I was reliable (the first word Jim South would ever use about me), friendly, intelligent, creative, eager, cooperative, prompt, clean and sober. No wonder I couldn't get anywhere. This, again, goes to my comments that porn people give up and sell out to the opinions of society. It's because of that they continue to surround themselves with dregs in order to elevate themselves among porn people because they know they cannot compete with the real world.

Ashley Kennedy writes: Good morning, Luke, Regarding the accusation that Q-dude was stoned while working.... BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! Please! I have offered Q-dude beautiful kind bud every time we've crossed paths, and he has always politely declined. He does not smoke pot, but I still like him anyway. Although marijuana is one of the most (if not THE MOST) benign illicit substances around, a small percentage of users seem to have adverse reactions to it. These people should not, in my humble opinion, use marijuana. Quasarman is one of these people, so he doesn't smoke. Ever. Period. Regardless, he's still one of my favorite people in this industry due to his sharp wit and straightforwardness, and if y'all keep giving him s---, I'll pay my six-year old son to make your life hell. Trust me; you don't want that. He's brutal, and throws around words like "troglodyte." Speaking of troglodytes, it is unbecoming to act like them. If you can't say anything nice, shut the f--- up (was that how my Granny used to word it? Something to that effect, anyway). Now, y'all have a nice morning, OK?

Pornography - Main Street To Wall Street

Wall Street Journal columnist Holman Jenkins writes for the Hoover Institute's Policy Review magazine in the February, 2001 Issue:

I wrote a column in the Wall Street Journal on the subject during the presidential campaign, and the letters that came in response more often than not criticized me for muddying an important national debate over the "serious" problem of violence in the media by raising irrelevant objections about pornography.

Yet these critics have it backwards, I fear. Nobody has heard of self-help groups for people claiming to be "addicted" to sexual innuendo on "Friends" or to violence in Arnold Schwarzenegger films. Yet in the past few years, not only have organizations popped into being to aid people who feel a compulsive "addiction" to view pornography; the subject has also begun to arise with alarming frequency in divorce and custody proceedings. Internet porn, at least in the collective mind of the counseling industry, has emerged as a major threat to marriages. What’s more, if you have access to a newspaper database, you can find story after story about some locally prominent person being disgraced, arrested, or fired because of the discovery of a cache of porn on his home or office computer.

One reason the porn prosecutions dried up is that, shortly after taking office, Bill Clinton fired all the sitting U.S. attorneys. That wiped out an experienced cadre of prosecutors who had made obscenity a priority. ...[W]hile previous administrations had their successes, many garden-variety obscenity cases certainly did end badly for the government. Judges and juries have not always been friendly. But the threat of prosecution at least had the salutary effect of discouraging mainstream companies from involving themselves in the porn racket. That has changed in a big way.

Wall Street once wouldn’t have touched the business with a 10-foot pole. Now it may not brag about the association, but reputable brokerages have been glad to help porn-related companies win public listings on U.S. stock exchanges.

Though they don’t advertise the connection, respectable companies like AT&T, Time-Warner, and the Hilton hotel chain have quietly become major players in porn distribution. A few years ago the cable TV folks wouldn’t go near the stuff unless (as in New York City) the porn entrepreneurs managed to get on a mandated "public access" channel. The cable industry’s resistance has now completely crumbled.

Whatever the reason, the porn genie won’t be stuffed back in the bottle. Yet this genie comes with a likely train of genuine social pathology whose limits we’ll just have to discover. One can only speculate here, but pornographic sexual images are quite different from entertainment sex and violence: They are real. They are processed differently.

Fred replies to Luke: I am highly skeptical about these strange allegations that people become "addicted to pornography." My guess is that if it does exist, it is very rare.

"Pornography addiction" is the sort of fictitious whipping boy (oops--poor choice of metaphors) pulled out by (oops--another poor choice of metaphors) the likes of Pat Robertson on his "700 Club".

I have a feeling that some of the folks who allege such a malady are just trying to come up with a bulls--- excuse for something. For example, Ted Bundy (famous serial killer) blamed porn for his killing spree in an interview shortly before he was executed. I find it hard to believe that porn incites anyone to become a serial killer.

I also suspect that there are more than a few idiots who can't tell the difference between normal male sexual voyeuristic inclinations and the so-called "porn addiction."

I would certainly agree that the anonymous ready availability of internet porn is a new phenomenon. Perhaps it might have some effect on society. I doubt that it will create problems. As a friend of mine once said, the sky has been falling for many years, but it has not gotten appreciably lower.

The article itself does not seem to point to any pathology arising from increased porn availability. (In fact, the author notes that illegitimate pregnancies seem to be declining.) Rather, the author appears to have some vague fear that some unarticulated problem will arise.

Holman Jenkins should find something else to worry about. Maybe when he's (I assume it is a he) able to point to a problem, he can write a new article. Perhaps he can write about the plague of ills that will result from the unregulated use of Times New Roman type font on internet web pages, the unrestricted use of the color blue in television animation today, or the deluge of grammar and spelling errors in e-mail.

Luke responds to Fred: Well, but surely you'd agree that anyone who spends more than an hour a day masturbating to pornography is doing something unhealthy and possibly destructive. And spending an hour a day viewing porno is not the moral equivalent of viewing mindless TV. Porno is more destructive.

And what about a person of moderate means who spends more than $200 a month on porno, what would you call that? Misplaced values?

I believe that the line between addiction, be it to alcohol or gambling or porno, and misplaced values, is simply one of perspective. Saying someone is addicted to porno is simply one way of saying that the man's use of pornography is playing a debilhitating role in his life.
