HIV Update
Sabrina Johnson's blood test has come back not detected. "I ran it twice to make sure," said Mitchell at 2:18 PM. "So that eliminates [from the quarantine list] John Strong, Alex Sanders, and Brandon Irons. We've wiped everybody off the list...though Aurora has to wait one more day."
Tony Everready on the Black Porno Awards
Black man Tony Everready phoned Luke Monday: "I wanted to get some s--- on the internet about the De-Unique Black Porn Awards. They're a magazine company that hosted the last three black porno awards."
Luke: "I've never heard of them."
Tony: "You haven't missed anything. They had this Black Porno Awards in Atlantic City [with the East Coast Video Show]. They charged $85 for tickets, $115 at the door. And they charged the talent $50 for their tickets. Food is three hours late. There's only enough food to feed about ten people. There were about 100 people there. It was unorganized and real s---ty.
"And as for Caesar Video, that little punk ass, they're trying to keep a controversy going between East and West [coasts] that doesn't even exist. This guy says, I don't use talent from the West Coast in all my videos. All my girls are exclusively with Caesars Video."
Kendra comes on the line.
Luke: "I once came over to Rob's and looked in a bedroom. Saw this little body under the blanket. I thought it was you. I started humping it up the bum and after I came, I realized it was Tony Everready."
Kendra: "He's a little darker than I am, and he talks different than I do. He says things like, f--- that bitch. That's my ho."
Wicked Gossip
John Douglas from Talking Blue attended Wicked Pictures latest big shoot (just before the East Coast Video Show).
John: "It was interesting. Brad Armstrong is getting really good as a director, coming up with some really nice shots. He's very cinematic and masculine, I kinda fancy him. I wonder if he'd sodomize me.
"It was not an easy shoot. They had to wrap things up as best as possible because they had to get Jenna and Felicia and Stephanie Swift to the East Coast Video Show the next day. It was a little testy because it was taking them a while to set up shots. And Steve Orenstein kept taking hits off his crack pipe.
"It was nice looking location in the Hollywood Hills but with all the vegetation, we were just swarmed with bugs. And with an elite FBI SWAT unit. They heard Steve the Jew was laundering cocaine money from the Columbia Cartel. They were constantly flying in your ears... We had to keep slapping them. After a while, people got real crabby. That's when Brad hopped on the phone and got clearance from Steve Orenstein and John Gotti to reshoot it in a week or so.
"It was flooded with press. There were at least 20 news crews there. Each one of us had our own staked out piece of real estate in the backyard. The publicist [Seth McCoy] was like, I don't know how easy it will be to get Jenna... We said, we'll worry about a sitdown thing later on. We've always managed to get sound bites from Jenna as she moves past the camera. She'd shoot a scene, and while they were setting up the next one, she did Extra and the Playboy Channel and E!. These were legitimate press, groups of six or seven people. A camera guy, an interviewer, a guy doing lights.
"I thought it was weird that the craft service was taken care of by Steve Orenstein's older sister, the publicist for New Sensations. She worked at Sin City for a while, now she's in charge of Jewel DeNyle.
"There were a number of cute girls just sitting around there in their little fairy costumes, like Inari Vachs and Mark Kernes and Mike Albo... Inari is cute, and very sweet and friendly and funny. And they're just sitting outside naked except for these little fairy wings. And they ended up not using them at all.
"So much for the theory that Steve Orenstein is running out of money if he can pay these girls to sit around all day and do nothing."
Luke: "Someone told me."
John: "We were making jokes about that on the set. Nobody could drink more than one Coke because Stevie could not afford more than a twelve pack. Everybody was laughing about the entire thing. You know what Luke says, Stevie ain't got no money. Be conservative people. Dave was walking by the craft service table and I'm like, uhh, uhh, ahh. You know Stevie ain't got no money, so those Ritz crackers have to last three or four shoots until the checks start to clear."
Luke: "If it's on l-keford.com, it must be true."
Luke talked Thursday afternoon with John Douglas.
Luzdedos1: do u think fishbein did hookers in prague?
Ultraindy: I have no idea.
Ultraindy: I don't even know if the man ever went
to Prague.
Luzdedos1: yes he did, he conf that
Ultraindy: And if he so wanted, I am sure he could
get hookers here.
Ultraindy: Hell, he could get you to bend over and
spread cheeks by offering you a job at AVN, if that is what he was after.
Luzdedos1: :)
Ultraindy: Is it true that he scorned your coming
on to him a while back and that is why you constantly target him?
Luzdedos1: True
Ultraindy: That is why you have such resentment for
Gene Ross?
Luzdedos1: true, gene supplanted me
Ultraindy: You are jealous of the fact that he can
be so physically close to Paul?
Luzdedos1: YES!
Ultraindy: That he gets to bask in Paul's masculine
scents each day?
Luzdedos1: Yes, that Paulie likes Genie better than
me.
Ultraindy: While you have only a small collection
of tattered undergarments that you swiped from Paul's garbage cans?
Ultraindy: He takes Genie's Weenie over Luke's Poop
Chute?
Luzdedos1: Damn him, I will show him for scorning
me.
Ultraindy: You aren't going to sneak into his house and boil his child's
pet rabbit are you?
Ultraindy: I had a sneaking suspicion all along that you were Paul's
own Fatal Attraction.
Luzdedos1: my shrink says that would be unhealthy.
Ultraindy: You are making him pay the price for having you in a torrid,
sleazy fling for a weekend then casting you aside for Gene, his traditional
Donna Reed-like action. I do love my listing on the Star Pages, though.
All the celebrity that comes associated with being male talent without
having to f--- all those icky girls. I prefer asian boys.
Ultraindy: You jew cocksucker! And you can quote me on that!
Ultraindy: Why don't you report on the fact that you tried to suck my
cock inside the Bates Motel? Ultraindy: There's a scoop for you.
Ultraindy: Asian boys.
Ultraindy: You are just turning on me because I rebuffed your advances
on the back lot. Just like you and Paul.
Ultraindy: Seems the only one who hasn't turned you away from gay loving
in John T. Bone. Ultraindy: Which cements his reputation about f---ing
just about anything that moves.
Ultraindy: Wanna bet that someone tries to sue you and take your domain
name now that you posted it up there?
BmanInLA: Hey Luke .. Brent from Danger Boy Video here.. I heard tried
to suck off John Douglas from Talking Blue on the backlot of Universal
Studios
Luzdedos1: how did you find out?
BmanInLA: I have secret people in secret places ... Is it true.. and
if so can I get a picture to put on my next Boxcover
Luzdedos1: false
BmanInLA: what if i can produce a fuzzy picture that would look somewhat
like you on your knees in front of John, I'll even change the name of
my next movie to "The New and Improved Universal Backlot Tour."
BmanInLA: Is it true that you and John are an ITEM now. Cmon Luke dont
be ashamed .. Ive heard that as long as the Rabbi blesses John its all
good and you two can do whatever it is you MEN do together.
Luzdedos1: I'm blushing
Ultraindy: I hear that Dangerboy Video is doing the ultimate Mila movie. In this next one she is going to push so hard that her entire asshole will come flying out and land five feet away. And at the other end, it will have a face. It will be revealed to be you: Luke F-rd.
BmanInLA: Maybe one night you two could go to a freeway rest area
.. I hear that you can meet all sorts of interesting people there with
similar extra-curricular hobbies. Your my newest inspiration for the
new Dangerboy Line .. "Rest Stop Rendezvous."
BmanInLA: One last thing Luke ... Today is my Birthday do you think i could get that fuzzy pic of you kneeling in front of John Douglas autographed .. I hear your signature is going for big bucks on E-Bay these days.
Czech beauty Sylvia Saint is looking for a contract.
I hear that Christy Lake is pursuing legal action against me for posting pictures of what looked like her doing a dog. That should be hilarious. What a court case. Exhibit A. your honor, here is the video in question. What would be worse is if she would have to re-create the scenario to show that it couldn't have been her.
Email: "I think she should sue you and try to get the courts to give her your domain name. Then she can run it as if she was you. Then again, maybe someone else already has and I am not really talking to the real Luke F-rd."
Harley Fire Live
Luke appeared tonight live on the Harley Fire show on channel 25 in the East San Fernando Valley cable system at 8PM. Heaven Veil, Alicia Rio Heaven Leigh, Luke F-rd, Alicia Rio Heaven, Alicia
Heaven Veil is a contract girl for Club magazine along with Janine and Jenna Jameson. She's never done porno videos but has appeared in dozens of nude magazine layouts. She was accompanied by a man whose hair descended to his waist. Heaven said she was attracted to bad boys, particularly those with piercings and tattoos. For years she dated straight guys who wore suits and worked conventional jobs but her heart led her elsewhere.
Alicia Rio said she was now celibate and only having sex with her Jeff Stryker dildo. Alicia said that everything that I had written about her was true.
Child Porn As White Collar Crime

(April); Warren Ernest Campbell, a chief of the Cannington, Ontario, fire department (August); Jeremy Lacey, president of the University of Vermont's only alcohol-free fraternity (August); George Edward Davis, former Lonoke, Ark., high school principal (August); Joe Dan Dwyer, mayor of Reeds Spring, Mo. (January); Jonathan I. Weinstein, Herndon, Va., pediatrician (May).
The National Film Board of Canada wants to videotape me at work on a porn set later this month. They will be in town Oct. 27-31. Anyone willing to have me on their set? Email Luke.
Perry Neum from Toronto, Canada writes: "It is good to know that
my tax dollars are being put to such good use!
John writes: Luke, just saw Danielle Rogers and Sean Michaels hook up in an anal scene in the latest Rocks that Ass, what's up with her? She used to do Randy Spears only, and now she's really trying it all. Also read that Rayveness has done her first interracial with Sean Michaels in the next to be released Rocks that Ass. Sean is really starting to hook up with some A-list talent in his latest and best series.
Lisa: I want Patrick Collins and Gusher Mike: I wanna tell them... 1. when making BLOWJOB themed pornos, tell the girls not to use hands when sucking dick. 2. i'd prefer not to see faces, just a dick in the mouth, real close up from different angles.
Rob Spallone on The X Show
Rob Spallone appeared on Fox' The X Show a few weeks ago.
Rob: "A couple of months ago, some people from the X Show called up. And they wanted to come to one of my sets. And they brought this really nerdy kid with them. And they were bringing him to a porno set to learn about the porno business and he was going to work as my assistant. And I abused this kid for twelve hours. He was a real nerd. I sent him inside to check out one scene and he came out green. 'There's two dicks in one girl.'
"They were bringing him to different jobs each day. They were bringing him next week to some farm to milk cows. And the first job he came on was with me, and I buried him.
"I go to this gym every morning and some of the trainers in the gym told me they saw it."
East Coast Video Show Gossip
Undercoverangel writes: Luke, Here are some of the tidbits floating around the ECVS...
The reason for the spilt between Seymore Butts and Alisha Klass seems to be some sort of fall out from the mounting legal problems Seymore is facing. Also, it sounds like Seymore’s other ex, Taylor Hayes, has found herself caught in the middle of Seymore’s three year court battle with Adam and Eve. Apparently certain checks written to Taylor have become points of contention in the case, along with millions of dollars allegedly misappropriated by Seymore. Many high profile people seem to be involved in one way or another including Alisha Klass, Vivid’s Steve Hirsch, IEG Seth Warshavsky, Adam and Eve’s Mary Gates and Ulitmate’s Nick Pinkousky. Rumors have a private investigator asking lots of questions about the Adam and Eve / Ultimate relationship.
Kobi Tai takes a picture of her new boyfriend’s cock everywhere she goes. She displays it proudly in the viewing screen of her digital camera...and it (the cock) is absolutely enormous!
Melanie Stone has retired from the business and moved back to Texas with her husband. After many unsuccessful attempts Shane is finally pregnant and showing.
Sky, Vivid’s newest contract girl, is proving to be more than a handful for the company. Word is the “powers that be” at Vivid are split down the middle as to whether to let her go or not.
A porn girl who showed up to AIM last week was warned by Sharon Mitchell not to participate in the Jim Powers gangbang of Candy Apples.
Email: "According to one inside source, one of the fluffers from the Houston 500 was asked to participate in the Candy Apples Gangbang, and was indeed planning to participate. However, the week before the event, she went to Sharon Mitchell's AIM offices, and was advised by Ms. Mitchell herself not to participate. The fluffer indeed passed up the event. She was completely unaware of the rumors that Ms. Mitchell sicked the cops on the event, and her story was told matter of fact, as she has nothing against Sharon. The story indicates Ms. Mitchell was indeed out to hurt the Gang Bang."
Luke: This could've been when Mitchell was upset that gangbang director Jim Powers was not going to require the PCR DNA test for HIV.
Music journalist J.D. Considine writes: Ms. Mitchell might have sicced the cops on the Candy Apples gangbang, but she couldn't have "sicked" them (unless she somehow made them barf at the thought of a gangbang). And if Mad Jack's girls got backtage passes to the Sting show, they got "laminates," not "lamenents." Although I'm probably your only reader to whom such things matter.
Phantom porn star Cindy Plenum writes Luke: You big meeanie! I hold the worlds record for a mosquito gang bang, and you do not even aknowledge my feet by putting me in your web site under "STARS!" pleez pleeze pleeze add me to your list I am just as important to the industry > as any of those establishment types you favor.
Luke: Come over to my place and blow me, and if it's a real hummer, I will put you in the star section.
Cindy replies: No can do Luke, my Kabala teacher says I shouldn't. BUT I will send some of the girls from the shoot over to you, if you want. My friend Skeeter Culicidae is an expert sucker. (Careful, Luke! She and her sisters can be real blood suckers!) What is your home address? And when does my bio go up on your web site?
JC writes: Hi Luke....really enjoy the site. One question: You go on these sets....do the girls seem to enjoy anal? Do most actually then go directly to their mouths? I've had a couple of girlfriends who really enjoy anal sex, although one now slaps my hand away when i put my fingers anywhere around her butthole. She says she doesn't like it "anymore", and says it was always my "idea." She sure liked it at the time. Do the girls on the set really like it, or just like the $$$? Have you been present for any "mistakes"? You know, "s--- happens"......It would be living vicariously through you to see your response, but I doubt I will ever be on a porno set, so it would be cool to get an "inside" look.......Keep up the reporting; it's great reading (and viewing)!!!!
Luke: Yes, stuff happens. Most girls doing porno, let alone anal, do it for the money and the attention. And to punish themselves for their sins.
Zo: Yo Luke, what do u think about that hott piece of ass devon from vivid? i think she is gonna be the hottest yet. what are your feelings about her?
Luke: She's hot. We were on Entertainment Tonight together February 8th.
Cambodia Steamed Over Website
PHNOM PENH (Reuters) -- Cambodian Minister of Women's Affairs Mu Sochua said on Thursday that she had called on authorities to prosecute the American operator of a local Internet pornography web site. The move follows a report in the local Cambodia Daily newspaper about American Dan Sandler who has set up a pornography web site in Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital where the Internet has been allowed to flourish unfettered. Sandler was quoted by the paper as saying he planned to begin live bondage sex shows over the Internet next month.
Jennifer Leigh Update
Mad Jack writes: Luke: Last night my girl Tia and Jennifer Leigh gave new meaning to the name"Hard Rock." After tequila shooters at the main bar, it was off to see about backstage passes for the Sting concert tonight. Within minutes, Jen and Tia had slinked their way their way past the bouncers at the door of the VIP room. Marco and I decided to wait outside while the girls did what they do best(wink wink). Fifteen minutes later, they reappeared giggling their asses off with four lamenents for tonights show. This, my friend, is the way to live in vegas. Ms. Leigh has been an absolute f---in' charm to work with. we got all kinds of killer footage so far and later today we're shoting two anals for my new series for K-Beech. We've got a swing club booked for the shoot and when we're done we're giving them a live show for the internet(friday night at 11:00). I'm about to wake Jen and Tia (a tough job but someone has to do it) and it's off to a day of panty stills and public flashing..GOD I LOVE THIS JOB!!! Here's some shots from last night..Be cool...
Chris English Exposes Chuck Zane
From Sweden, Chris English (chrisenglish1@yahoo.com) writes: No condom is no mistake. Both Dick and I shootin' bare back a mistake....? Absolutely at Chuck Zane's Behest. Jim Powers was also instructed to shoot a movie "without" condom for Chuck whilst I was in Chucks office in June of this year.
Chuck had made a deal with him where "Jim Powers" was putting it out in America and Chuck would distribute it in Europe through his new Company EFA. From the conversation I gather Jim was in the middle of shooting it when Chuck called him and said word for word " Jim I want you to lose the condoms" Obviously I can't hear Jims end but Chucks reply was in a nasil tone "I don't give a s---, I'm not putting it out here. Jim complains "bla bla bla" I don't hear of course! Chuck Responds "Yes, yes I know. We're ( Him 'n' Dick Miller Chucks partner in EFA) old and confused!"... ANYTHING from here on out that Chuck Zane utters on any other subject or event what so ever, has no credability what so ever. The man is a mean spirited, lying, cheating, greedy bully who's word on any regard is worth is s---. His complete dishonesty and total hypocracy should mean that this man should be of no consequence what so ever in this or any business that requires the slightest modiquom of integraty from this day on. In my last phone call to him I asked him if he was going to do the right thing and send me samples of my work so that I could move on to more worth while things. His response was to scream ragingly down the phone at me threatening me with violence and that "I'm gonna rip your eye balls out." The last communication I have had from this man was an e-mail in which it stated ominously "See you in Berlin..."
Did you know Dick Miller aka Richard Mahler has been shooting "non" condom pedophile woops, I mean Cherry Poppers in Prague along with other "non" sexy "Death Defying" curiosity such as Fisting, Pissing and s---ting movies for Chuck Zane since May of this year. Somebody please explain to me what these things have to do with sex...?
In Cannes Chuck was madly enthused by this and when he assumed that I would shoot this, I looked at him incredulously paused said "You don't have enough money...nobody does...! "But Dick's doing it" was his ranting response. "Let Dick do it. My movies are about SEX not barbarism"! was mine. These subjects asside of course anything goes for me, but I would not be surprised if Chuck would shoot a snuff movie if he thought he could get away with it. Why doesn't he just change his company name to "Low Grade Productions" After my refusal to shoot these to me... somewhat puzzeling themes, he behaved like a nervous woman with pmt for the entire seven days we were there even after my shoot was completed. Chris English.
Oh! One more thing... Chuck told me over and over that at the "Hot d'or" awards ceremony that I would have a place along with himself and Matt at Paul Fishbeins table. This was no big deal to me, I did'nt know who the hell Paul Fishbein was, the AVN is an insignifacence in Europe where the industry is consumer led. Could the reason that "my" place was changed to another table seemingly at the last minute and without telling me, was because he did not want me to let it slip that Chuck gave me the OK to go without condoms because he did "Not want to take any chances with new this company, (EFA. the name of his new German company ) I'm getting alot of stiff resistance from my Italian distribters so I want you to go without condoms from now on that; is condom optional" This was said to me in his second sectance to me after my arrival at the Casino Royal Hotel on the first night.
Sent it to Gene too, if he doesn't print it you can wipe the floor with em. Let me make one thing clear I would have never gone this far if Chuck did not threaten me! Thanks for representing me and the whole saga acuratley so far. Chris Mann apparently thinks I have "an interesting talent" though can't do business with me at this stage because I'm too controversial I respect this. I like Chris man. Chris Mann is a Good Bloke. We need more Chris Manns. Now who wants to give me a bloody job? The Berlin Venus Fair is coming up "real" soon and I have an "extremely interesting scenario" for anyone who's interested! Chris Mann what knows what I'm talking about so does Chuck Zane and and Zane and is wishing he was not such a volatile character as this scene was to be used to help lauch his new company into the limelight. So which other company who is having a booth in Berlin wants their company in the limelight but they've gotta have guts!!! Chuck is writhing now more than anything because I won't be shooting it for him....and I am laughing at Chuck.
Chris English wrote Chuck Zane: Who sent our E-mails to Luke F-rd?
Chuck Zane wrote: It was your limey f--- friend John Bowen asshole. Looking forward to seeing you in Berlin.
Chris English wrote: Why have you got a job for me? When am I getting copies of those 4 titles I shot for you ?
Fishbein Hooker Horror
Lord Peter Christian writes: Dear Mr. Ford: We are shocked to learn from your web site that Mr. Paul Fishbine, a respected pornographer, has been consorting with known prostitutes in Prague and elsewhere. That someone of such high standing in the commercial masturbation industry would risk ruining his reputation by engaging in such behavior is simply inexplicable. So don't even try. Some things were meant to remain in the realm of mystery.
Rusty Wester writes: Luke: I am just a lowly, ordinary, everyday guy who subscribed to AVN for 2 years at the big bucks price. (I don't own a video store and didn't try to pretend otherwise.) I renewed my subscription in the spring of 1999 and have not received an issue since June or July1999. I know this probably doesn't mean s--- to you, but I guess I just need to blow off some bad feelings. After discovering your website and becoming a little bit more knowledgable about the adult industry as a result, I think I'm beginning to understand why my PAID subscription doesn't matter to Mr. Fishbein, et al. I always thought that when you paid your money up front for something, you got what you paid for; obviously that isn't always the case. I live in north Florida which is still pretty retarded regarding sexual freedom, but if AVN can't fulfill my subscription it seems the least they could do is say 'tough luck, bub'. I doubt that the money I'm out ($80-100) means much to AVN, but it's not exactly peanuts to me. I don't expect you to do anything about it, I just thought I'd reinforce your stand on the scumbags at AVN.
Luke: I guess the folks at AVN were too busy running around with hookers to send you your subscription.
Rumdar writes: Luke. What is all this drek about hookers in Eastern Europe, etc.? That is only mildly entertaining. Your Houston fans want more Kendra Jade/Nice Jewish Girl smack. Has Kendra written you off? Why no communiques from N.J.G.? Are you going to propose to her? Every Nice Jewish boy needs a Nice Jewish girl. Stay away from those slutty shicksas. Marry N.J.G. and live unhappily ever after. We demand it.
Mark Carriere keeps one huge section of his warehouse space for his gym equipment. "He's really into body sculpting," says a source. "And after work, if you wanted to, you could hang around and work out. But nobody ever did...
"Mark comes across as one of the nicest guys in the world, which is strange considering how many of his workers portray him as a tyranical asshole. But when his groupies came into the workout room with him, it got tense. Like being in an Italian restaurant when the mob walks in. You finish up what you're doing and then get out of there.
"We saw a lot of porn girls come in [to Mark's office]. What is she doing here? Don't ask. The less you know, the better. [They were sexually servicing Mark to get work.]
"Mark supposedly had plastic pectoral implants. He looks like Robocop, about 70% plastic beneath his skin.
"When Mimi Miyagi went in there, the first thing she heard was, you need to get your tits redone. I didn't think I needed that. Yeah, you do. Mark's into plastic people.
"In the Leisure Time office, unless you went into the back where they put tapes together, or into the screening room, you could walk through there and not have an idea at all that it is a porno company. A lot of grandmother types worked there. When we weren't shooting, there weren't porn people around there.
"Mark has a lot of money but he is still really cheap about things. He used to send one of his lackeys to his house because in his rich neighborhood you had to pay about $60 a month for garbage service. Instead, he had one of his lackeys come to the house, gather up all the trash and bring it down to his dump bins at Leisure Time.
"The database at Leisure Time maximizes the usage of every scene. Once we'd saturated the market with that scene, Mark would grudgingly go out and buy new product or hire Ron Jeremy or Brad Gunches to shoot 10-12 scenes that he would build whole movies around. He'd take two new scenes and three old scenes, and make a new movie.
"Brad Gunches' sister, Kathy Green, is a department head at Leisure Time. Brad was not welcomed back at Leisure Time and for a while Los Angeles was off limits to him. A Pulp Fiction scenario where you've lost your privilege to be in Los Angeles. Brad was in Las Vegas for a while, and Mark knew where he was at. But even though Brad f---ed Mark over, Mark did not do anything about it as long as Brad stayed out there.
"Brad ripped Mark off for money and video equipment to pay about $5-$10,000 of gambling debts. Brad is a horribly compulsive gambler."
Source: Booklist, March 1, 1999 v95 i13 p1141(1). Title: A History of X: 100 Years of Sex in Film.(Review) Author: Mike Tribby
Pornography is all about blow jobs and losers, says a porn historian cited in this history of sex movies and videos. And "through understanding the sex industry," says Ford, "I better understand humanity." For instance, "fewer nice girls gave head" before Deep Throat (1972) raised fellatio's public profile. Ford supposes that Deep Throat "probably ranks among the top ten grossing" U.S. films but adds it is hard to say because "it is not in the interest of distributors to release accurate figures.., even if they know them." Radical feminists Andrea Dworkin and Catherine MacKinnon probably won't like this serious history of the dirty-movie business. It contains frank, nonpejorative descriptions of pornography, after all, not to mention discussion of the industry's Mob connections, and names are named and sources cited. Linda Lovelace's contention that she was forced into the business is disputed, and the long-simmering feud between erstwhile teen star Traci Lords and smut goddess Ginger Lynn is laid bare. Hot stuff or legitimate cultural inquiry, this is a worthwhile book.
In the October issue of AVN, Gene Ross reviews Luke's book: The Brooklyn Bridge was finished in 1884, but as we dawn on the New Millenium, there are still some hucksters selling it, and some suckers buying it. In which case Website gadfly Luke F-rd did a completely masterful job in persuading Prometheus to reach into its equal opportunity publishing pockets. Unfortunately, what comes out is an exercise a tad shade duller than trouser lint or your average college term paper effort.
Which is a crying shame. Ford's a particularly clever wordsmith. When he writes with passion and commitment, he's second to none; however, Ford seems to have approached this project with a late night cram session urgency to finish at all costs. And it's painfully evident in the sloppy referencing and critical footnote miscues. Not once, but on several occasions. Hardly foudnations to build a credible fact-finding reputation upon.
In essence, Ford's book rises and falls on the strength of one chapter titled "La Cosa Nostra" - his never-ending commitment to form an organized crime thread to the adult industry. What it reads like, however, is the Cliff Notes version of Donnie Brasco with a bewildering array of nicknames and no particular hook to hang them on. Even if Ford is on target with some of his facts, the narcolepsy that he infuses his characterizations with will daunt the one-sitting read required of this book. Even wiseguys deserve a better fate.
Meanwhile, AVN gives Pat Riley's X-Rated Videotape Star Index III a thumbs up:
There is no more exhaustive source than the The X-Rated Videotape Star Index III for those fans who want to make sure that they have seen, for example, each and every hardcore scene Ebony Ayes ever did, even those which she performed under the noms de guerre Taffy, Cocoa or Phylis Roberts. Stars are listed under their most commonly-used names, as well as under various other aliases.
Similarly, this book is a good resource for retailers whose customers want to know where they can see more of starlets like Bonita, who only appeared in a few videos, or who had longer careers but no longer do their thing before the camera, or even current stars, like Shanna McCullough, whose careers stretch back over decades.
From Gene Ross.com: A new magazine called XXXgen Magazine featuring Kendra Jade on the cover was being handed out at the ECVS Show last week. Rodger Jacobs is the West Coast editor. Craig Vasiloff is the publisher and editor-in-chief.
"That was a summer promotional issue," said Jacobs. "We just finished the actual first issue. It's going to the printers in two weeks. "It's going to be a pretty good magazine," Jacobs feels. "Jim DiGiorgio's writing for us. I'm writing a lot of stuff, obviously. Kim Chambers is going to be writing for us. She just did a piece for us. I like her a lot, very bright girl. We've got a lot of reviews from Roger Pipe. I'm doing some of the reviews. We shot some stuff with Kendra Jade, Serenity and Samantha Stylle. It's kind of a hybrid magazine. It's meant to cater to the fans as well as to the industry."
From Shift magazine, a Canadian internet magazine at www.shift.com:
"It's not a very well laid-out site-much of the writing is lazy, much of the fact-checking is lazy," says Luke F-rd, the Matt Drudge of the adult film industry. He oughta know. "Scoop Luke" broke the story of stickman Marc Wallice's HIV infection, but he also incorrectly reported a positive test result for starlet Kaitlyn Ashley, which he later retracted. In fact, his penchant for outing positive testers and revealing actors' real names has made him Silicone Valley's most hated man. Still, he has another side to him-Orthodox Judaism, to which he is a convert and for which he has created a fan page. "He is narcissistic and seeking excessive amounts of attention," Ford's father once said. Welcome to the internet.
Male Orgasm Captured On Film
From http://www.theonion.com/onion3537/male_orgasm.html:
CAMBRIDGE, MA--Announcing "a major advance in the age-old quest to unlock the secrets at the heart of human sexuality," researchers at Harvard's Center For The Graphic Depiction Of The Human Sexual Act confirmed Monday that, with the aid of experimental new high-speed photographic technology, they have successfully captured the elusive male orgasm on film.
The breakthrough marks the first time the male orgasm--perhaps the most mysterious, least-understood element of the complex dance that is human sexual behavior--has been successfully photographed.
"We have taken a giant leap forward in the struggle to unravel the mysteries of human love, illuminating aspects of the male orgasm that have long been hidden in a haze of speculation," said Dr. Donald Roehnert, head of the multidisciplinary team of experts credited with the breakthrough. "Though it is still too early to say how much can be learned, even a cursory examination of this historic footage reveals much that we otherwise never would have known about the magic and mystery of male sexuality."
Brandy Alexandre writes: Well, everyone knows all about Mike South's dazzling brilliance and amazing capacity of deduction. :::cough::: To begin, I never, ever said I had an editor for the book--I have an agent, and she has never received the whole thing because it's unnecessary. And enough people have received pieces of it over the last year or so that it's plain it exists. And since Mike South can't comment on what he doesn't know, he shouldn't open his mouth at all if he wants to maintain his facade as the all knowing. Luke did not print that I said there is a printout of the book. I'm just not of the mind to retype 575 pages. And with so many losers claiming to be in the know, and panning what they have never seen, far too many people have been suckered by these bitter men and interest has flagged. Luke also failed to convey my congratulations to those who would be tickled by the news. Congrats Mike. Feel better?
Mike South: Tell ya what Brandy. send me the printout (provided it exists) and I will have the whole f---ing thing retyped for ya...No Charge Put up or shut the f--- up.
Brandy Alexandre: How come you only link to my mostly fictional and inaccurate bio when I take someone to task for stupidity? It's almost like you enjoy my comments but want to make sure no one takes anything seriously, or you're trying to encourage people to flame me to fill your web site with something other than Jewish ramblings. I mean, I just gave the simple truth: Mike South got so excited about the prospect of flaming me he assumed that what you put on your site is the whole story. In his glee at thinking he knows the slightest thing about me, he put his foot in his mouth. There's nothing wrong with pointing that out. Especially since he thought he was pointing out one of his great revelations.
Bianca Trump says: Basically just like the guy told Brandy last week in the legal news group. "It couldn't have happened to a more horrible person" Everything that happens to her is because of Karma. She deserves it all and then some.
Lord Peter Christian chimes in: Dear Mr. Ford: In the interest of furthering harmony among the many disparate members of your community, please inform Ms. Alexander that her work in progress can be scanned into a form suitable for further text editing. Such scanners are available for use at a very nominal price at MailBox USA, selected Federal Express and similar establishments throught the United States.
On a separate matter, I note an alarming drop in the amount of jew-bashing on your board of late. Have they finally gotten to you?
Luke: The Zionists have gotten to me.
Peter: Just what did the Zionists do to compromise you? Were you, perhaps, photographed in the company of women of ill repute? A honey trap, perhaps?
Luke: They sent me hookers dressed up in Israeli army uniforms so I could feel like I was f---ing the Jewish state. And Paul Fishbein has it captured on tape. I'm ruined.
Chaim Amalek writes: Luke, I think that by now, you realize that I have the Gift of Prophecy, at least with respect to your life. This is not an absolute gift, as it expresses itself in ranges of probabilites instead of certainties. But it is real nonetheless.
There has been talk of late that you ought to marry NJG. We both know that this will never happen, we both know why it will never happen, and so as to avoid hurting anyone's feelings, nothing further need be said. But there remains the question of Who Should Luke Marry? The time is NOW Luke. No doubt the first thought of many will be "a shiksa!" and not without reason. After all, there are FIFTY shiksas in America for every jewess, meaning it is much easier to meet a suitable woman who is not jewish than one who is. But also, why would you want to settle for a jewess when jews of stature from Moses to Spielberg have always taken shiksas as wives?
I cannot get fully into this at this time, as it is a somewhat inchoate prophecy that is struggling to emerge, but I am certain that you should meet, win the heart of, and marry the jewess I previously directed you to consider. The offspring of such a union could well be the Messiah the jews have been waiting for for all these many years. You must act quickly! And learn to trust Amalek.
Linda Thoren writes on RAME: Those multi-hundreds-gangbangs -- is it exciting? Does it turns you on? For me it's just boring. I can't understand how anyone could get horny, looking at a half asleep girl getting banged of a bunch of losers. If this is the porn of the 2000, I don't wanna be a part of it.
Ma$ta BaTe$ writes: Luke, I have been rapping with a girl for let's say about 2 years. She lives near Seattle, Wa. I have talked with her on the phone for countless hours, as well as stayed in touch over the internet. She knows alot of rock stars (or washed up rock stars depending on your outlook). I myself am a musician and am known as Ma$ta BaTe$ of the Rap group Rapnexx. This girl now tells me that she is Tabitha Cash. When we first started rapping, she sent me a ton of typical photo's...pictures of her skiing...pics of her with her dad blah blah blah. I got a good look at these pictures and still remember what they look like. I erased the pics a while back when I was dating a girl and didn't want her to find them on my box. This girl is not french but purports to be Latin, I've never met her...she is supposed to be coming to see me in Nov. My question is ....Is it possible that this is Cash.....Is it possible that Cash's bio is all B.S. to hide the girls true identity or is this girl just pulling my chain? She is a real cool girl always been there when I needed to talk and I don't care if she is full of s---...but I still wonder! I know she has a daughter...I've spoken to her on the phone she is very young....and she may want to remain out of the biz so to speak, for this reason. I will say upon comparing Tabitha Cash photo's to my memory of her photo's she sent me.....the lips are the same the face the same....it could be her. Is it possible Tabitha Cash is not french? This girl definetely has no accent...
Nice Jewish Girl Phones
NJG phoned the other night: "I had a fight with Cookie about casual sex. She's all for it. I was fighting with her online for two hours. I'm all mad right now. I told you that it was all her daughter's fault that I lost my virginity when I was a teen. Like mother, like daughter."
Luke: "The time you were raped?"
NJG: "No."
Luke: "Oh, the time you consensually lost it?"
NJG: "Yeah, and I didn't want to. I was only 16. I'm so upset right now. I told her that you were the only guy that I have ever known in my entire life who's into casual sex. I don't hang out with creeps. I've never even liked a creep."
Luke: "I haven't had sex for a month."
NJG: "What happened to all your creepy girls?"
Luke: "I've left them behind."
NJG: "Because you're a creep and you're into casual sex. I'm so angry right now and it's all your fault."
Luke: "I think you just need to get f---ed."
NJG: "I have a sex toy."
Luke: "I want you to email Fred. I sent you his email address."
NJG: "I don't want to talk to him without you Lukey. I need you to protect me. I only want to talk to him through you. I want you to take care of me."
Luke: "You said you were going to tell me something really funny."
NJG: "Yeah, but I'm not ready to you yet. I'm too upset. Talk to me...
"Cookie has a history. Those Jewish valley women of the '60s... Cookie was a better mom than mine but still, they grew up in that free love and sex era. And Cookie's husband, a Jewish guy, was majorly fooling around. And so Cookie fooled around and my mom fooled around. Cookie remarried when her daughter turned 18. Those Jewish women back then were into free love.
"I was disgusted by that. When your mom is f---ing your friends, you're never going to get over it. You're never going to get over it when your friends come over and they want to f--- your mom. And they think they can because she's easy. And people say s--- to you at school about f---ing your mom.
"We'd have big parties when my stepfather was away. And I had this one 15 year old friend, and he'd always wind up in the bedroom with my mom. And they were so close and good friends, but I'm damaged from that."
Luke: "f---ing your friend's mom is a big masturbatory fantasy. I know that I had it...but it is not very holy."
NJG: "No it's not. And I was going to Hebrew school. I think Brad from Danger Boy Video is attracted to me because he thinks I'm messed in the head."
Luke: "I don't think you're anymore screwed up than I am."
NJG: "Your views on casual sex disturb me. It's like, don't touch me. Yuck. Who are you? Do you even care that I hate men?"
Luke: "No."
NJG: "Now that I've lost more weight men are coming on to me all day and night. I was getting my bus pass, and he was coming on to me. Oh, what have you been doing? You look like you've been running. I was like, yeah, I wanna catch the bus."
Luke: "I think it's great that men are coming on to you all the time."
NJG: "You think so? I was thinking that I want to be fat again because I can't handle men. They're coming on to me every single f---ing day."
Luke: "Maybe you shouldn't wear sheer blouses and so much makeup?"
NJG: "Yeah, like I wear sheer blouses and makeup. My hair is in a bun and I am in a T-shirt and jeans. Don't you wish you were hear with me not having casual sex? We will just be friends because you can only have casual sex. There's something wrong with you.
"You know my breasts are huge and we're going through a heatwave. So I was running around today that I have burns underneath my breasts. And it hurts. That's the funny story. I have boob burns.
"I was looking at those pictures of Kendra Jade and I am just as big. And I don't have implants. I think I need a reduction."
Luke: "Oh no, you don't want to do that."
NJG: "You're not being sympathetic. I always have to write your scripts for you. 'Oh NJG, I'm sorry you're hurting.'"
Luke: "Let me squeeze some lotion on to your burns..."
NJG: "Yuck, from your cock that has been everywhere, with all these chicks?"
Luke: "So you know it's good. FDA approved, kosher."
NJG: "Your cock and you are too untrustworthy to come anywhere near me.
"All I want is love. Sex with total abandonment and love."
Luke: "All I want to do is f--- some chick I don't know."
NJG: "I just read an interview with Tom Hanks and he said that he'd done only six women in his whole life. Including his two wives. Why can't you be like that? You do six chicks in a month.
"Let's talk about having sex with love. You need to know what it's like. Because I don't want to go to bed yet. I just need attention.
"Sex with love is like you're holding somebody's hand and you're staring into their eyes, totally connected, your hearts beat the same... You have the same thoughts at the same time. You just want to cuddle with them afterwards. You feel like you can trust them and they won't hurt you. Then, even if there is separation, you know where they are at all times.
"You can look deep into their soul and feel their pain. And you can help heal them.
"That's why I can never have sex with you because I can't trust you. If I have sex with someone, I know what color their room was growing up. I would know what their mother and father would look like. I'm very psychic.
"I had sex with this boyfriend and I knew everything. I even knew that he had had sex with his sister. I felt it. He started crying when I told him."
Luke: "Did I ever have sex with my sister?"
NJG: "You did, huh?"
Luke: "I did not."
NJG: "You had something going on with her, what did you do with her?"
Luke: "Nothing, not even a blowjob."
NJG: "Some experimentation when you were little. Or some other little girl, close in age to you... A cousin? If I were to have sex with you, I would know everything."
Luke: "Maybe we should do it as part of my therapy?"
NJG: "But then I'd get hooked into you, and you'd dump me after 15 minutes, like you do with those other chicks..."
