Intrepid investigative journalist Luke F-rd has discovered that pornographer Mike South has sex with many of the girls who appear in his productions (like Southern Belles).
Furious with the accusation, Mike sent me this sizzling reply, a fine example of casuistry and evasion pointing the finger at others.
"Jim South...I don't hold jobs over their heads.
"Rob Spallone...I don't hold a gun to their head.
"Reb Sawitz...I don't make 'em move in with me after I f--- em.
"Luke F-rd...I don't have to beg 'em.
"Russ Hampshire...I don't make 'em use condoms.
"Bill Clinton...I have MUCH better taste in women than that country f---up.
"Elvis....I have better taste in furniture."
Please Email Luke F-rd if you have had sex with Mike South or Jim South, Rob Spallone or Reb Sawitz, Luke F-rd or Russ Hamphire or Bill Clinton or Elvis.
I asked Aja about a rumor (not about her) floating around the industry, to which she replied via email: "f--- off . I don't gossip .If you ever write anything about me on your web site my attorneys will be all over you like white on rice. In case you're too dumb to figure it out, your sources are just vindictive people with no life. Sound familiar?"
Wesley Emerson has started the final on-line editing of his two-hour documentary on John Holmes. Over the past 18 months, with assistance from Martin Brimmer and editor Larry Van Nuys, Emerson has interviewed (on SP Beta) most of the people (over 40) who knew Holmes.
"Several people didn't make the final cut," said a weary Wesley by telephone. "It was nothing personal… The first edit was five hours. Now it's down to two hours. We plan two versions, one hardcore and one for mainstream audiences.
"We're finishing up first the soft version. We're submitting it to several national and international festivals. If it goes to a film festival, it will get far more coverage than just hardcore… I hope that we can break into the legitimate market.
"Every rumor and myth spread about John… We've talked to the right people and gotten the answers. Several people would not talk to us on camera like Eddie Nash (now about 65 yo). I showed him the film. He loved it."
Emerson has produced several mainstream documentaries as well as lots of porn over the past 25 years. "I thank Russell Hampshire [VCA owner] wholeheartedly for allowing me to do this. He's been wonderful."
Russ hasn't yet looked at the tape but he faithfully signs the checks every week to make the production possible.
In the last couple of months, Emerson directed No Man's Land 23 (Charlese L'Amour, Caresa Savage, Sally Layd) and an Adam & Eve couples video (Alexandra Silk, Heavenly Leigh, Chloe, Elizabeth X, Gwen Summers, Tyce Bune, Herschel Savage, Chris Canon, John Strong) written by Brimmer. It was originally called Real Dreams, but will probably become No Regrets.
Heather Hunter says she's retiring from porn to concentrate on dancing in clubs (where the money is).
Porn star Heaven Leigh says: "Anyone that has visited www.heavenleigh.net, that is not my site that is a stolen site of mine.The guy has taken all of my stuff and is posting it as being me and running my fan club also with out my permission and having money sent to him for my Fan Club items and movies so avoid this site its a fraud site its not me mine is www.heaven-leigh.com."
Kewlyteddy@aol.com writes on RAME (rec.arts.movies.erotica newsgroup) about Prometheus Books adult critic Pat Riley: "I fail to see why a man of Riley's obvious talent *cannot* exercise some tact, subtlety, and discretion when describing a woman's appearance."
Torris replies: "Why should he? He isn't pretending to promote any works which would necessitate a sort of gentle assessment shall we say. Yes, I cringe at some of his bromides and descriptions, but in a way he's like a very opinionated version of Consumer Reports. No mincing of words and you are forewarned about what you might be getting. I love his review books for these very qualities. Wheras look at how laughable AVN is. You go to the shops and see a whole lot of 4 and 5 star videos? Lots of 7,8, 9 masterpieces? I don't see too many of them. With Riley, if you read his books - only one out of every ten , if even that many, movies is coded GOOD or MUST SEE. Now isn't that more true to form based on most of the crud that is out there?
"Riley might be a misogynist, I've accused him of that and been accused of the same here too. But at least he's not pretending that these women are fragile flowers who must be encouraged. and nurtured while they make thousands of dollars for a few days of work each month. He calls it like he sees it. And considering that this isn't the Miss America pageant, but based solely on looks and f---ing ability. How can you fault Riley for taking his gloves off? It's the most honest of anyone else out there. Brutally honest but necessary
"I hate seeing C section scars, I hate flabby bellies in porn, I hate the canteloupe look and hardened attitude. He does me a great service in pointing these things out. I personally had my "tact" gland removed several years ago, so I can see where he isn't really interested in being liked here or in his reviews. He's not interested in currying favor or kissing ass. Compared to most of the insiders on RAME, I find that extremely refreshing."
Since 1988, JT Video ((323) 965-8889) has made it possible for ordinary people to boink porn stars on camera. His biggest names include Tia, Cumisha Amado, Angela Faith, Saki, Ashley Shy, and CJ Bennett. JT advertises in sex newspapers like the LA Xpress. Customers usually come into JT's office, look at pictures of available girls and then make an appointment to do the (condoms mandatory) deed, usually at JT's studio near Hollywood and Vine. The fee? A $100 videotaping fee and a models fee of $200-$400. Because the act is being videotaped, it does not legally count as prostitution.
JT remembers Tricia Yen still wanting to work even though she had terminal cancer (Tricia needed the money to pay for treatment). "I managed to get one job for her but she didn't show up. When I called her, I always got an answer machine and no return phone call. Eventually her phone was disconnected."
Reb Sawitz prohibits his girls from working with JT, and criticizes JT for such unsafe practice as shooting folks with HIV. JT says that only happened once. "In the video Bi Honey, I'm Home, the male performer Andy Britt was HIV positive. The man and woman he worked with knew about this and did not have a problem. The woman had no contact with him except with a strap-on.
"When I started this ten years ago, most of my customers were males. Now my business is 99% straight."
DR. LAURA'S DIRTY DOZEN
SEATTLE, October 22, 1998-- A dozen fully nude photos of Dr. Laura Schlessinger taken by an ex-mentor have made their way to the Internet, revealing "My Kid's Mom" in poses that will stun her 18-million radio fans.
The photos and an accompanying news story Friday 8 a.m. PDT, on the notorious www.clublove.com Website operated by Internet Entertainment Group (IEG), the company that has gained fame for posting photos and videos of celebrities, including the "Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee: Hardcore and Uncensored" videotape.
The photos of Dr. Laura, were taken when she was in her 20s by Bill Ballance, a prominent California radio personality who is credited with launching the career of the radio shirink.
Ballance, who will be 80 on October 27, told IEG that Dr. Laura willingly posed for the photos and insisted that they show full frontal nudity, including some extremely revealing closeups.
Schlessinger, now 51, is married to Lew Bishop, who manages her career, and the couple has a 12-year-old son. She converted to Judaism and is allied with the strict Orthodox branch of the faith, and she frequently is seen wearing a Star of David around her neck. At public appearances, she has been known to pass out buttons reading, "Character Does Matter."
"With these photos she could become a poster girl for her own best selling book, 'Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives,'" according to Seth Warshavsky, President of IEG. "Here's a case of a woman who sets herself up as a paradigm of virtue and it turns out she has had a few salacious moments in her own life."
An article in the September 1998 issue of Vanity Fair says Dr. Laura admits doing things "I regret and have shame for" and says she is "repentant: I have moved on: I see no reason to embarass myself."
According to the article, when Ballance was told she was writing a book on the Ten Commandments, he jokingly replied: "She's broken them all." Ballance, who is credited with inventing modern talk radio, is also quoted as saying: "You want to talk to me about Laura? This ogre I created?"
IEG will offer free one-week memberships in www.clublove.com to all persons over 18 who want to see the Dr. Laura pictures and read the accompanying article about her. The photos will be displayed using "Live Picture Technology," which enhances quality and enables the viewer to zoom in on specific body parts.
Protodorian writes on RAME:
I've read countless porn star bios and there are very few if any college educated porn stars. Let's face it. Women with futures, who see education as something valuable, are not going to get into porn.
I mean anyone with brains knows the money isn't lasting and very fleeting. If you're one of the few who are smart enough to save and invest or have a long career like Nina you may do allright. Let's see, Nikki Charm, Erica Boyer, April West, aren't exactly living it up. How many porn stars are forgotten, relegated to the fringes like Porche Lynn, making spanking videos for crying out loud.
When Jenna, my sweet-sweet Jenna, starts to get older she ain't going to compete with Michelle Pfeiffer or Meryl Streep. Wait till dear Tracey gets older, Ginger's career is headed down the toilet because of age, even though she's brought quick gratification to thousands, what does she have to show for it.
To sum it up. Society is such that women with no education and poor social-economic backgrounds, with looks and a value system that allows it will make a quick buck. Sadly most of these women lack the intelligence and foresight to think about their latter years.
I've always wondered why Asia shoves her intelligence down our throats. Just wait a few years from now. That will be the real test of Asia's intelligence.

Asia Carrera does not like her new Malibu house. She writes on her site: "It's too big, too hard to find things, a buttpain when you forget something, a fortune to furnish and decorate, takes forever to clean... I grew up in this stuffy, perfect house that my mother kept like a museum."
From the satirical site The Onion:
PLEASANT, NC--Outraged community members are mounting an aggressive public protest campaign this week in response to an X-rated videotape availiable at Pleasant's Video Villa video store, claiming that the tape does not contain the "Spectacular All-Anal Action" promised on its cover.
"Are we as citizens expected to just sit back and allow this sort of garbage to go on?" said Pleasant school board president Edwin Thistlewaite, during a protest this morning at City Hall. "I paid to see chicks getting f---ed in the ass, and that's what I want. I think I speak for all decent Americans in saying so."
"This is false advertising, plain and simple," agreed area resident and mother of two Janice Ferguson, speaking before an assembled crowd of more than 1,500. "My husband and I have both viewed this piece of trash, and believe me, it barely even shows bush until at least 20 minutes in--a far cry indeed from the 'Non-Stop Carnal Cum-ucopia' advertised on the box."
Though the controversial
film, Butt-f--- Sluts Go Nuts Vol. 29, does contain some graphic depictions
of anal intercourse, the citizens' group asserts that the film does
not even come close to living up to the box's claim that it is a "Two-Hour,
Wall-2-Wall, Deep-Probing, Ass-Flesh f----Fest." The group is demanding
the inclusion of drastically more explicit prurient material before
it will back down.
