The war between Sharon
Mitchell's AIM clinic and Dr. Bonura's North Hollywood Clinic may be
over.
Tired of the sniping and financial losses, Dr. Bonura decided to send
industry patients wanting the PCR DNA test for the HIV virus to Mitchell's
clinic on Ventura Blvd. (818-981-5681).
Rob Spallone's charismatic personality led Dr. Bonura into industry
HIV testing over a year ago. During this year's HIV outbreak, charges
flew back and forth between North Hollywood and Sharon Mitchell's clinic
(initially PAW located at Jim South's building). Over 90% of the fiery
rhetoric came from Spallone, who pushed his buddy Dr. Bonura into suicidally
low prices on HIV tests. Long tired of the war (Dr. Bonura was looking
for a way out of industry HIV testing months ago), North Hollywood finally
caved today.
Taking time out from scouting for a new location for his studio and talent agency, Spallone said this was only a temporary reversal. "We're sending girls there [AIM] until we can set up a new clinic. And then we're going to lower the price [of the PCR] to $70 to put her [Mitchell] out of business. This way we're sticking it in her ass, and then taking it away."
UPDATE: 11/17 6PM: A weary Dr. Bonura, after a hectoring phone call from Rob, says the North Hollywood clinic (818-760-2349) will still give PCR DNA tests, and that the new price is $70.
5PM: John Bone, in his
third week of illness, calls. "You gave David Aaron Clark extensive
coverage today. He should pay his rent. When the fat f--- came down
here, not only did I pay for his entire house move down here (I paid
for the truck to bring everything he owns down here and his stupid f---ing
arrogant Charley Crow friend) and loaned him the money to buy a car,
which he can't repay me. And I guaranteed his f---ing apartment for
which he's just bounced his third rent check on. And now they're searching
me with an eviction notice because I guaranteed his rent.
"And when I sent a message to Rob Black to pay his crew so they could
pay their rent, I get a message back that he's already loaned him the
money for the rent and yet his rent checks still bounce."
Luke: "But surely you feel good that David is able to pursue his artistic
vision with his latest project and fly in dominatrixes from San Francisco
and New York?"
Bone: "I wish he'd pay his rent instead. He'll have to pursue his artistic
vision from the mission... That envelope he's pushing, that's my envelope.
The boat that he's rocking, I paid for it.
"The basic premise of life is to pay for your car and pay for your apartment...
He's done neither. I told him that I would take $25 a week for the money
($1250) I loaned him for the car. And I'm looking at $2100 for back
rent and eviction fees for his apartment."
Luke: "Why did you guys part anyway?"
Bone: "Because he shot a movie for me that was such crap that I basically
tried to ram it down his throat and he took his arrogant attitude out
of here and went to work for Rob Black who could appreciate him more.
I don't want to give you the name of the movie because I want to sell
the f---ing thing."
Luke: "I thought he was great?"
Bone: "So did I. So did Rob Black. He can talk up a storm but he can't
shoot for s--- and he can't pay his bills. Apart from that, he's wonderful.
"Rob Black is a convenient dumping ground for me for all the assholes
I want to get rid of... I've had less trouble loaning money to talent
than David Aaron Clark. He's costing me almost as much money as Samantha
Strong who took me down for the most amount of money... And David never
sucked my dick."
Luke: "Oooooooh, Sam was gorgeous."
Bone: "You like those big titted blondes, don't you? You love those
shiksas [non-Jewish women]."
Luke: "Yes. They make me spurt. Seeing Samantha take a load on that
pretty face..."
Bone: "A dead f---, trust me. I had her on her 18th birthday."
Luke: "Oooh, aaaahhhhh..."
Bone: "She could be called Dorian Grey. She could party for five straight
days without one wink of sleep, party with drugs and booze and a f---ing
baseball team, and show up at a shoot and look like she just had 12
hours of sleep. It never ever showed on her, no matter how much she
abused herself. I pulled her out from underneath tables, lying in her
own vomit, put her in the shower, dressed her, and driven her to the
shoot, and she would look so refreshed and angelic, you would never
know."
Luke: "Ahh, oooh, she's so sweet looking."
Bone: "I delivered her baby. But she f---ed me for $7500. I guaranteed
her apartment and I gave her a car.
"I've met many people in this business who wanted to be sober... I've
been sober for 15 years. I've helped a dozen girls [including Aja] get
sober, and partly helped 100."
Luke: "Have you ever covered people in blood on a shoot?"
Bone: "No, I still adhere to those silly little distributor rules...
The ones that say if you do stupid stuff we won't buy your product."
Rob Spallone says the rumor printed on this site about Elliot Segal, owner of the bankrupt Western Visuals, being extradited back to California to face charges of arson, is FALSE.
11AM: Luke got an obscene
phone call from "the boss" Rob Spallone. Shortly before meeting with
Russ Hampshire, he yelled at me for not printing his vulgar comments
about Sharon Mitchell supposedly getting a nose job and for charging
$5 more dollars for the PCR DNA test than Rob's North Hollywood clinic.
Rob also made some obscene comments about Jim South leaving a shooter
high and dry without talent (a girl did not show up to a set) last Friday.
Spallone wants to know why I now hang with the Rob Black crowd. Spallone's
message to Black, call me. Has Black yet returned Russ Hampshire's call?
If owed telephone calls is a measure of status, Rob Black is zooming
up the charts.
Luke believes that it was insensitive of Black to call Hampshire "a
piece of s---."
Ecstasy is the new drug of choice among porners. "Ecstasy (which comes in pill form) is the biggest threat to the adult entertainment business right now," says one exec. "Too many people are doing it.
"If you do too much Ecstasy, it destroys your endocrine system. It can take months to return to normal. When you take Ecstasy, you feel ecstatic. It lasts six to eight hours and there appear to be no side effects. Unless you do it too often."
The HIV threat has dramatically reduced the talent pool. Few porners are shooting now as the biz slows down before CES. Zane, which releases four to six new videos a month, has only two projects to shoot before CES. One is Put It In Reverse 3, where 15 girls will do Ron Jeremy on November 24. Rick Masters did the first one, and Tom Byron the second.
Zane's doing a Shayla LaVeaux film Carnal Obsession for (Playboy) cable and hardcore release, written by production manager Devon, an English Literature major from UCLA who writes all the company's scripts.
"The ongoing feud between Rob Black and Zane is mainly steam and talk rather than substance," says a source.
Various condom-only manufacturers say they've yet to see a decrease in sales.
David Aaron Clark drew a crowd of his fetish oriented friends to the downtown LA club Vampire Technology this week for his first Extreme Associates porno Asianatrix starring San Francisco "performance artist" Jade-Blue Eclipse.
Clark and his friend "Charley Crow" are still learning the ropes at Extreme. Though a way out Japanese lesbian from Nagasaki who puts on freaky shows that sometimes feature her slashing herself, Jade insists on "safe sex." Thus she does not do a guy in Clark's new video.
"It's ok for me to use a girl with a strap-on," explains David, "but a guy with a condom does not. I accept that but I find it difficult to work within [the Extreme framework].
"Jade is a lesbian icon in San Francisco. A go go dancer, stripper, performance artist..."
Luke: "Does that ["performance artist"] mean she cuts herself on stage?"
David: "Sometimes..."
Clark put out a book on vampires and bloodletting with photographer Charles Gatewood.
David: "Jade works with all kinds of liquids in her performances - milk, fake blood, water... Asianatrix is my attempt to ground myself in the themes and images...that are the future. Rob Black is nervous about me crossing lines, leaving him with unsaleable product and getting busted... This is a world he is unfamiliar with. He doesn't like the fake blood... She puts a chain in her pussy and pulls it out. He was freaking over that, thinking about the little distribution rules..."
Luke: "He thought it was too extreme."
David: "Rob told me this week while we were arguing how he used to go to Patrick [Collins] with wild stuff... Patrick would say, 'Kid, I hope that some day you are sitting on this side of the desk and somebody just like you is on the other side. Now that has happened. I guess that's a compliment. Rob's worried that it will tip too far into artsy fartsiness...
"Jade plays a variation on herself - a performance artist who's seized by disturbing visions of a mysterious silent asian woman, the asianatrix."
Clark's movie uses an eight page script and features a Bukkake-style sex scene where seven guys ejaculate on Kimi Ji (to be shot Wednesday), and a Van Damage - Luciano DP of Suzi Suzuki.
In addition to flying in Jade from San Francisco, Clark brought from New York dominatrix Mistress Leda who shaved David's head after shooting "an amazing scene" Halloween night.
"Can't you find enough gooners [derogatory slang for asians] in the Valley," Black complained to Clark.
A huge 300 pound man who usually dresses in black and wears obscene crucifixes, David, a bachelor, feels depressed Monday night. His cat Hunter of the past 13 years died early Sunday morning. "I watched Star Trek on the counch with her until 5AM when she passed away."
Make-up artist Eddie Pierce, a flaming big black guy, proudly shows off the debut issue of Larry Flynt Publication's Brown Sugar magazine (1/99). Eddie did the make-up for two of the mag's girls - covergirl Laya and Virgin.
Slain Wayne, who shot Terrors From The Clit for Extreme, tells me about his (with Eric Brummer) new underground movie Debbie Does Damnation. "It's primitive with B-grade actresses...like Caligula."
Wayne's written for years for various fan zines, including a defunct one called No s---, as well as drawn comics and worked on underground films which often feature his gorey animation.
Slain, who works as a PA tonight with his girlfriend Teresa, won't allow me to use his real name and he avoids photographs because he does not want the taint of porno to affect his underground filmmaking.
Wayne says that underground films are the cutting edge of Hollywood, breaking trends three to five years before the mainstream. First with violence, the last few years with sex, and soon with Born Again Christianity.
Born and raised in Nagasaki Japan, Jade, 22, moved to California at age eight. With bright blue punkish hair, she works during the day as a bicycle messenger. While talking with David and I, she giggles frequently about her new girlfriend. Shy and soft in person, she turns wild on stage, dancing and prancing in buckets of milk and fake blood.
Jade wants to cut her shoulder several more times so that she'll sport scars that resemble the scratch of a cat.
Stephanie Says ("a rock n'roll slut I met in a nightclub," says Clark) hovers near the bloody stage surrounded by David's black-clad friends who sport numerous tattoos and piercings. A slight asian, Says appears in three pornos.
After Jade's thrashing in blood and milk scene, David introduces me to the editor of LFP's Leg World, Rick Hall, the former managing editor of High Society. He never met the smut magazine's secretive owner Carl Ruderman who hides behind numerous bureaucrats to keep his smut mags from spoiling his country club life.
Feitsh director Joey Strange walks in with Helen Thompson, four year AVN writer who now edits Paul Fishbein's new magazine Fetish. A bimonthly, it's about to celebrate its one year anniversary. Photographer Benjamin Hoffman shot Julie Strain for the cover of the next edition of Fetish.
Like Strange, Hoffman, an LA native, is covered with tattoos. "I've shot 150 rolls of Julie in the past year... I mainly shoot bondage, including all the covers for DDI (Domination Directory International)."
Hoffman has pierced nipples and an "ampalang," a barbell through the head of his penis. "I took it out three weeks ago and could not get it back through so I'll have to get it repierced. It's the creme de la creme. It's the most intense piercing... The experience is amazing. Every guy should go through it even if he doesn't keep it in. When you look down and see the piercing needle (delivered without any anesthetic) going through the head, you figure you can live through anything."
Several other men that evening had pierced penises.
Luke's middle class Jewish values found most of the above disturbing, and he interpreted such dress and behavior as a cry for help. "Grownups please help me." Luke is deeply disturbed by mutilation, tattoos, piercings and most of all by the obsession with blood and death. As the Torah says: "I put before you a choice between life and death. Choose life."

Kendra De La Hoya
Kendra who has been training at the local Muay Thai (kick boxing) gym for the last few weeks is leaving for the east coast this week-end to spend four weeks training with an old boy friend who just happens to be a professional boxer. "Jasmin St. Douchebag has been working out with her mouth for long enough," said Kendra, "but she’ll be s--- in the ring." The fight is unofficially scheduled for Las Vegas during the CES show in January.
"We are a little concerned at the moment as Rob ‘the pussy’ Black (Douchebag’s manager) did agree to the fight then chickened out. I may have to punch that faggot out as well" Kendra said yesterday.
By sheer coincidence Kendra’s probation ends January 6th ,"so if Douchebag can’t make it to the ring, then the floor of the CES show will do just fine."
Kendra will be dancing in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Miami on the days she is not training.
Kendras latest movie ‘Too Hot for Porn: part Duh!’ has just finished shooting and will be in the stores January.

Ahhhhhh Only weeks away from the release of ‘WINDSONG’ Our biggest movie of the year, starring Zoë and with a special appearance by Kendra ‘Killer’ Jade and a 600lb tiger.
Ten minutes after I posted John's newsletter on my site, I got a call from Jasmin (dancing on the East Coast at Frank's Chicken House) denying any boxing match. "I would never dilute myself to the level of John and his crew. They're using my name to gain publicity. I'm not going to play into their teenage BS or to drag on my coattails. The only girls who box and fight are white trash. I handle my problems with lawyers not with boxing. She threatened me publically on your web page...
"My girl-girl layout with Harmony Grant appears in the February Penthouse. I've just done a load of layouts with Earl Slate. I've signed to do a sex advice column with a British magazine. I'm finishing up my second movie for Rob Black Acid Sex. I just shot a DP scene with Earl and Mike Long. And a scene before that with Tom Byron.
"We [Earl and Jasmin]
have a cold so we're taking it easy... Though I like to do something
every day for my career. I'm so motivated now."
