Nicis Girls
The escort agency Nicis Girls has irritated numerous porn girls by claiming on the Nicis Girls site, http://www.nicisgirls.com/portfolio/index.html, that such porn stars as Kendra Jade, Kobe Tai, Delaney Daniels, and Brittany O'Connell escort for them. The porn girls say adamently that they do not work for the escort agency.
God Rocks Porno
A couple of minor earthquakes rolled through the San Fernando Valley Tuesday morning, part of God's judgement against the porn industry.
God aka Rodger Jacobs writes: Luke: I hate to disappoint you, but those two quakes I created this morning were nowhere near the San Fernando Valley. The 3.4 at 10:27 AM was 2 mi NNW of Beverly Hills (hmmmmm ... pretty close to your hovel, eh, son?) and the 3.2 at 10:47 was 2 mi NNW of West Hollywood. Both earthquakes were situated within 2 miles of the Santa Monica Fault. It's worth noting that said fault produced a series of 3.0 quakes in the days prior to the Northridge Earthquake. Stay out of tall buildings for awhile, particularly the Flynt Building on Wilshire. God.
P.S.: Don't like the new design of the website.
Because of dying sales, Brazil's Evil Angel has gone bankrupt, according a source. "The deal: 40% in sales dropping, Buttman Confidencial was a sales disaster with that black cover, and one of the directors was fired cause he pocketed the funds. Plus, the prices are too high so Video Clubs are buying cheaper stuff."
Kendra Jade called me Monday night from the new Staples center in downtown Los Angeles where she's attending WWF championship wrestling (the big fake kind).
Tuesday afternoon Kendra reported: "It sucked. It was disorganized. And I saw Jasmine St. Clair. That ruined my whole night."
Andy: "Kendra might also have been one of the godfather's hos. His gimmick is he's a pimp. every town they go to, they hire local strippers to play his group of hos. The girls seem to get a kick out of it. And he did bring a bunch of bleach blonds to the ring last night."
Porn Star Hookers
Waldo Bassett writes about porn stars who flip tricks. He writes: "I have found that one of the most successful ways to negotiate for a Porn Star's "attention" is to catch them while they are performing at a club and then ask them, very discreetly, if it would be possible to spend some "quality" time alone together."
According to Waldo, available porn stars include:

Mad Jack Blown Away By Deja Milan
Mad Jack phoned Monday at noon.
Mad Jack: "Roy Shaft is bringing Deja Blue out here... A teeny blonde... I have Deja Milan sitting here now. We're watching a blowjob scene she did..."
Luke: "With who?"
Mad Jack: "With me of course. Luke, come on man. I heard you were LA's blowjob king."
Luke: "That would compromise my integrity."
Give The Gift That Keeps On Giving
Sharon Mitchell phoned: "Hi sweetie, it's Mitcheroo... As a holiday gift, I'm offering the PCR DNA test [for HIV] for $75 throughout the month of December. Along with the free Hepatitis C test, free Crown condoms and free Inner Lube... And we're going to have a big party during CES on January 6th. And of course, we offer very affordable health and dental insurance plans." Call AIM at 818-981-5681. And tell them Greg Zeboray sent you.
Mrs Kerkove Comes To Los Angeles
John Kenney aka Bo Smith, owner of LGI, writes : "Dear Gene, please forgive LGI for not sending you the the copy's of the check and model release first. This is the first time we have had something like this happen to LGI our mistake."
Gene had bullied Bo about not sending a response and pictures to him first, rather than to me and Gene at the same time. AVN frequently bullies porners to give them the scoop before (or instead of) giving it to me.
John writes further to Gene: "The signature on the back of the check and the signature on the model release match however they also look like skeeter's signature on the back of the check. Face the truth she got paid to get laid.
"Skeeter forged the model release and the signature on the back of the check. If skeeter and bridgett deny that this is not true I will come into avn's office and you can call the police and they can tell their story, and we will supply our evidence to the police.The kerkove are being deceitful and are lying, do they deny that they cashed the check. do they deny that the money went into arland d kerkove's acct. did she sign her name to the check .Who forged it on the check."
Luke asked Skeeter Kerkove, Bridgett's husabnd, about this Monday afternoon and he had no comment. The Kerkove's, who originally raised the controversy, now want it to die down.
Skeeter Kerkove: "If I comment on that, then I'm starting stuff up again. I was highly advised to let this thing die down. They know that if they want a model release, all they have to do is send it and it will be notarized and signed. We don't want no money from nobody unless Bridgett goes out and does a scene and earns it."
John Kenney, however, does not want the matter to die down until he and his company have been cleared of all charges of wrongdoing.
After getting blindsided on the matter last week, John has fought back with photos, documentation and detailed answers to tough questions, to regain his credibility. John's company LGI operates web sites for about 40 porners and has not suffered from this kind of controversy before. A person's reputation, ironically, means everything in the insular world of pornography. Yes, even porners, have an honor code. Especially porners have an honor code.
Pro writes: "Of course the Kerkoves would like the whole LGI/Kerkove debacle to die down. It was a gross tactical error on their part from the very beginning. As relative newcomers to the adult business, the Kerkoves most likely don't have a knowledgeable grasp of "Who's Who" in the Porn World: Especially the Porn World beyond the West San Fernando Valley. If they had, they most likely would not have antagonized someone as closely connected to powerful people (in this business) as Bo, and LGI. I'm guessing, but Skeeter probably pegged Bo as just another, 'wannabe,' one-stop owner from back East itching to get into the production side. Most likely, they correctly assessed Jim Gunn as a small-time, East Coast hack, and no doubt, this negatively impacted their opinion of Bo and LGI. But unfortunately for the Kerkoves, Bo has close and powerful long-time friends. They include, most notably: David Sturman of GVA, Kevin Beech of Erotic Angel, and quite a few more, influential, company owners. This 'bad call' on the Kerkove's part is certainly impacting Bridgette Kerkove's bookings (200 scenes in one year aside) and indeed, her future in this business. It's always wise for newcomers to understand that this business is made up of a close-knit comraderie of long-time players. And in spite of the what sometimes seems like 'relationships-at-odds,' the bottom line is that this 'club' exists almost exclusively on personal relationships."
Kenney flies in to Los Angeles (from his home in Washington D.C.) on Thursday. His contract girl Kendra Jade jumps in front of the camera Saturday. On December 6th, she goes in for extensive plastic surgery, including getting her breasts redone, and liposuction.
Luke talked Monday afternoon with Skeeter Kerkove who goes into court Friday to gain final custody of the rest of his children (from a first marriage).
Skeeter: "From an ex-wife who's done death threats in front of the bailiff and the Department of Family Services... That's how bold and crazy she is.
"We don't even own a computer. We share one cell phone and one pager. I've had it for five years. We do everything we can to not spend money.
"We don't even want to talk about it anymore. Things are getting so blown out of proportion. There's so much going back and forth, so no comment. I hope that doesn't offend you."
Luke: "As a writer, I love the vicious charges back and forth. It makes for dramatic reading. But as a human being, I think that keeping quiet and letting the thing blow over is in your interest."
Skeeter: "We just want it to die down. We've never had anything like this before and it is so scary. We're just focusing on her career and getting my children from a previous relationship. My poor children had to go through a lot with their mother. My two younger children were being very neglected and when the Department of Children Services came in from our call, they found them in a severely neglected home that was horrid... So they took my children and gave them to me, instead me just getting to visit them every other weekend.
"Anyone who knows us knows that we don't drink alcohol or do drugs... We're home every night in bed, unless Bridgett has to work. No shopping sprees and no fancy dinners.
"We're not sue happy people. We don't want no problems with nobody. We wish this never happened. I need to remember to stay in focus and be a mature husband and father...
"Bridgett will make her goal of 200 [sex] scenes by December 31st. She's done 191 now. No one has ever done that before, 200 [sex] scenes in less than a year.
"Bridgett is just a great mom and a great wife. And definitely my best friend. She loves to cook. She's cooking all the time. She's always dusting and vacuuming and doing the laundry, then ironing it. Making sure that we're all getting enough to eat. And giving us our vitamins in the morning. Trimming our hair when it gets too long. And telling me when an outfit does not look good on me because I don't know better. And she still goes to church every Sunday if she's not working. And she is a good girl, for what it's worth being in the business.
"She truly enjoys the business. She's having a lot of fun working with all these people because everybody treats her so good."
That reminds Luke of a story. A stranger came in to town and asked a man, "What are people like in this town?" And the man replied by asking, "What are the people like where you come from?"
The stranger replied, "Oh, they are mean and selfish and nasty."
Man: "They are the same way here."
A few days later, another stranger came in to town.
Stranger: "What are people like here?"
Man: "What are they like where you come from?"
Stranger: "Happy, helpful, generous..."
Man: "They are the same way here."
Skeeter: "Bridgett is never late and they appreciate that. They know that here is one person, for sure, they can count on.
"Bridgett enjoys the business. It's not, I want to make as much money as possible and then jump out. She enjoys the people and when people are happy around her, that makes her happy."
Luke: "How is your pool and spa business?"
Skeeter: "At this time of year, it slows down. About three days a week, I have a whole bunch of work. What is always in service is the cleaning of the pool. The pool service technicians go out to clean for us. Because your pool has to be cleaned all year long. In the winter time, you will get more calls on the spas because people are using them more."
Playboy vs Penthouse
Luke's been researching an article for a real magazine on American sex magazines. Here are some excerpts from a 10/10/99 Washington Post article on Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner:
"They're not faithful and committed to their girls. It's so fake and phony, I won't have anything to do with it," says Doria Rhone, who for three years hosted--and performed on--the phone-in sex show "Nightcalls" when it was the top-rated program on cable television's Playboy Channel. She left the show in 1998, she says, because its producer wanted her to move toward more hard-core porn.
"It's unfortunate, because I had a great time working for them. They treated me like a star on a Christmas tree--bodyguards, everything. The minute I stopped working for them, they could care less if I was dead or alive."
[Carrie] Leigh says Hefner would play tapes of him with his old girlfriends on two large-screen TVs while he and Leigh made love. She told him it hurt her feelings. She said he responded that her feelings of jealousy were outdated. Eventually, Leigh says, she begged Hefner to destroy the tapes that included her. "By my last year with him, there were no other people having sex with us for a couple of years. I said, 'We might break up, I might go on and have children, and I can't have you having these tapes--someone else might get a hold of them.' "
From the 10/06/99 USA Today:
Playboy is looking to grow in cyberspace, as it has in cable TV, in part because the men's magazine market has exploded. Added to longtime rivals for male readers such as Penthouse, GQ and Esquire, has been a flood of new ones such as Men's Health, Maxim and Details. Since 1997, some 20 men's magazines have emerged, most targeting specific interests such as sports, finances, health, fashion and women. While most don't have the nudity, many feature women in sexy photographs.
"Playboy is no longer unique. Each one of these magazines has taken on a part of Playboy 's niche. It had to find a way to grow," says magazine industry analyst Samir Husni of the University of Mississippi.
Hefner wants her company to have a $1 billion market capitalization by 2003, up from its current $552 million. She sees creating a separate, public on-line company as one way to energize growth. "I believe on line will be a significant contributor to our market-cap plans."
Here are excerpts from an article in the 7/25/99 Sunday Telegraph on Penthouse publisher Bob Guccionie:
I ask him if he has ever had a face-lift. This is, of course, fantastically rude, but something about Guccione's relaxed manner seems to allow it. He answers as though it is the most normal question in the world. "I had cosmetic surgery almost 20 years ago when I had a cancerous tumour removed from my scalp. They had to pull my sideburns up into my head to put my hair back and then they had to pull the other side of my face up to even it. But that's it. I haven't had anything done since."
Guccione rarely gives interviews but has agreed to this one to coincide with the publication next week of the 30th anniversary issue of Penthouse magazine in the States. In Britain it is even older - 34 years - but it is the more explicit US edition which is the flagship issue, known, stresses Guccione, as much for its serious reportage as for its pornography. Not that pornography is a word that Guccione would use.
"Pornography is associated in my mind with a vulgar depiction of sexuality, not an artistic, elegant, beautiful show . . . Explicit sex is part of a political statement. I frankly believe that all consensual sex is beautiful and natural and we shouldn't be ashamed of it."
Luke: My boss fella looked over my tentative essay and says I need to loosen it up, and make it more like Maxim. Make it more conversational.
While struggling to do this, I realized that I don't know to write properly anymore. I lost whatever ability I had, on the internet. Too much time cutting and pasting from RAME and PST, and transcribing conversations.
I thought perhaps my readers could rewrite one paragraph each, I will put it all together, and then I will have one cool essay to go in a real magazine. Here's where I'm at:
"The recent history of pornography in the United States is a history of its magazines," writes Bernard Arcand in his 1993 book "The Jaguar and the Anteater."
During the 1970s and 1980s, magazines like Playboy and Penthouse served as the canaries in the mineshaft that tested the boundaries of acceptable sexual expression. Through the inclusion of socially redeeming content like articles by Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz and National Review publisher William F. Buckley, Playboy and Penthouse achieved enough respectability to enter the middle class homes of millions.
American sex magazines sold in newsstands are not hardcore porn in that they almost never show penetration. Europe's leading sex periodicals like Private, by contrast, explicitly show penetration and cum shots.
The United States publishes about 50,000 different 'porn' magazines. Almost none of them, aside from Penthouse and Playboy, have serious editorial content. This died in the early 1980s as publishers realized they no longer needed to include it to avoid prosecution for obscenity, which is partly defined by the lack of serious literary, philosophical or scientific value.
The sex magazine with the highest circulation, Playboy, is the least sexual with voluminous space devoted to non-sexual topics and a smaller proportion of nude photos to copy. A total sex publication like High Society contains no non-sexual advertising. Instead, it overflows with ads for phone sex, penis pumps and hardcore videos.
Playboy still attracts the most famous women to uncover for it, but along with Penthouse, its dominance in beautiful women has diminished. More women are willing to disrobe today than ever before, and many of them are willing to go all the way on video.
With the rise of the internet and X-rated videos, sex magazines now take up a much smaller part of the overall porno pie than they did during the sexual revolution. At three million, Playboy's circulation is half what it was in the '70s, and Penthouse is doing only 20% of its numbers twenty years ago.
With magazine sales down, Playboy and Penthouse focused during the 1990s on their websites and videos.
America's two leading sex mags devote limited coverage to hardcore films. Penthouse, the more explicit of the two, runs a page or two of reviews most issues by Screw publisher Al Goldstein. Playboy requires its models to swear off performing in hardcore videos.
Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner's private tastes are far raunchier than his magazine. He owns a huge bestiality collection. Linda Lovelace describes Hugh's fascination with human-animal sex in her book Ordeal. The star of Deepthroat frequently performed sex with dogs for the edification of Hefner and company.
Using hidden cameras in his bedroom since the 1970s, Hugh recorded hundreds of his sexual exploits. Carrie Leigh, a Playmate who lived with Hugh for five years during the 1980s, says the publisher liked to play the tapes while he made love to her. When she told him that they made her feel jealous, he said her feelings were outdated.
Back in the public eye after the collapse of his nine year marriage to Playmate Kimberly Conrad, viagra popping Hefner once again enjoys big parties at the Playboy mansion and trendy LA nightclubs.
Now a publicly traded company, Playboy is bundling its on-line businesses to sell (a minority share) to the public in early 2000. "We're going from a domestic print-oriented magazine to a global entertainment company," CEO Christie Hefner told the 10/06/99 USA Today.
Since Hugh's daughter took charge in 1988, she's pushed Playboy into expanding its brand into merchandise, video, cable TV and the internet. Part of the reason for Playboy's new focus is the explosion of men's magazines. Playboy traditionally competed against Penthouse, GQ and Esquire. Now it must battled more than 20 new megs like Men's Health, Maxim, Details and XXX Gen.
In contrast to Hefner's public life, Penthouse Publisher Bob Guccionie, 70, lives quietly though luxuriously. Since he founded Penthouse in 1965, Guccionie has become one of America's richest men, worth around $300 million.
While working as a journalist in England, Bob decided to do a version of Playboy for the British with raunchier material. His women weren't Bunnies, they were Pets.
Four years after launching Penthouse in England, Guccionie moved to New York to challenge Playboy on its home turf. One morning Playboy executives saw an ad in their morning paper showing the Playboy rabbit in the center of a gunsight. The headline read: "We're Going Rabbit Hunting."
By showing pubic hair and couples, Penthouse circulation shot to its high of 4.7 million in 1979, with net profits in the yearly range of $20 million.
"While his archrival Mr. Hefner courted publicity with wild parties populated by buxom playmates," writes the March 22, 1996 Wall Street Journal, "Mr. Guccionie remained shy and almost reclusive, living and working out of his apartment. He awoke at noon and worked well past midnight, rarely taking in Manhattan nightlife. He didn't smoke and rarely drank. He obsessed over every detail of Penthouse, laying out the pages, choosing the models an snapping the photos of the Penthouse Pet of the Year himself."
In 1986, the Meese Commission damned pornography prompting thousands of convenience stores to pull Penthouse from its shelves. U.S. circulation plunged 25% to 2.4 million. Playboy suffered a smaller decline because it relies less on newsstand sales. Also, its softer image makes it more palatable to advertisers.
To get Penthouse back on the newsstand, Guccionie in 1992 took women off the cover and replaced them with macho men such as boxer George Foreman and actor Claude Van Damme. But the circulation slide continued and within a year women returned to the Penthouse cover. Circulation now hovers around one million.
Living in reportedly the largest town home in New York at 28,000 square feet, Guccione remains immersed in every detail of his magazine. "I do most of the house copy, I assign all the photographs, I choose all the girls, I edit all the pictures, crop them and design them completely. I don't know any other publisher who gets that involved in his business - but I can't leave it alone."
The Gooch says he is not the type of man who would ever buy a copy of Penthouse. "It's not my type of magazine. I have very esoteric tastes. I'm much more interested in classical literature and poetry."
Guccione has not spoken to his son since 1987 when they had a falling out over Bob Jr's music magazine Spin. Jr. now publishes Gear, a men's magazine full of investigative reporting and high quality photos, but few, if any, nude women.
Today's leading American sex magazines include Hustler, Cheri, High Society and Genesis. Cheri magazine debuted in 1976, showing fingers poked inside vaginas and other raunchy material. Puritan went further, showing full penetration and cum shots, becoming the first newsstand hardcore mag. It didn't last long on the stand and now sells only in adult bookstores. By toning down, Cheri remained in the public eye.
By 1986, Cheri, along with other raunchy mags like Hustler and High Society, began showing increasingly erect cocks, cum shots, and hints of penetration. Before then, all male organs fit to print in American newsstand mags stayed soft.
Since the Supreme Court's 1973 Miller decision, the United States has left obscenity guidelines to local communities. Thus big cities like New York and Los Angeles tolerate raunchier porn than more conservative areas in the South.
Theoretically, sex mags could've shown erect cocks inside gaping assholes in the 1970s but it would've provoked expensive criminal prosecutions. Instead, sex mags slowly experimented with more explicit material. To see the difference, compare Hustler and High Society today to five, ten and fifteen years ago. Now some leading sex mags like Penthouse and Chic show explicit penetration.
Hart Williams fell into writing for sex magazines in the late '70s. "It was not so much that I wanted to be in it, as that I didn't mind doing it. I began writing audio-cassettes (we called it XXX radio) and wrote about 50 at 15-30 pages each. I ended up at Hustler, which ended my first marriage. She didn't mind the $200 each script brought, but Hustler was too much…"
Hart says most pornographers do not like their work. "Complaints were universal. But that's what customers wanted, so that's what we had to do. An old joke asks: "Is sex dirty? Only if you do it right." America has this assumption that sex must be dirty to be good. I don't feel that way. Not many did. It is the very act of 'illegitimacy' that creates the industry. If sex were viewed as natural and normal, porn would not be profitable. Indeed, the profitability of the industry declines in direction proportion to its legality. Europe found this out. Porn reflects the Collective Obnoxious. The same prophets who decry porn create its 'dark' appeal.
"I remained in the industry because I was fascinated from a young age by how 'sex' drove people insane. They screamed if you talked about it, they decried it, and, at the same time, they destroyed their homes and families trying to get more of it. They withheld it, they gave it, they spent all their time obsessed with it, but living an equal and opposite anger at it. So, I thought, "here's an unparalleled opportunity to see what all the fuss is about, and go where everyone secretly dreams of exploring: sexual nirvana." Boy! What a letdown!
"Actresses are usually from California and are rebelling against their background. They have a "bad boy" boyfriend. They desperately need money. They are in the business for an average of one month and are gone. Most actresses are Roman Catholic school girls and most of the actors were Jewish.
"The average starlet was a high school dropout [like Sindee Coxx, Brandy Alexandre], or just barely made it. An inordinate number drove Chevrolets. The industry learned to pander to their fantasies by making them into "stars" for awards shows and conventions. The average starlet has a strange boyfriend - one who gets off in some way, on watching her screw other men. Few boyfriends make the transition. Few starlets come into the business alone, or, if in, remain alone for long."
Hardcore magazines sold in sex shops rather than newsstands have shown penetration and cum shots for decades. While mainstream porn movies increasingly censor themselves to avoid getting sued in some hick town like Buttf---, Georgia, newsstand sex magazines grow wilder. In 1998, Penthouse and Hustler began regularly showing photos of women urinating. Overall, however, circulation and dollar figures show mags losing big to vids. Moving pictures get men off better than still pictures, just as pictures get men off better than words. There's only one sex magazine for women, Playgirl, and mainly gay men buy it.
Alan MacDonnel, born around 1946, edits Hustler. For years he wrote scathing reviews under the pseudonym Christian Shapiro. "People who had a very religious background or had some inappropriate sexual thing happen to them when they were young, frequently hate porn," says MacDonell. "These people do not like sexual entertainment. They do not see sexual and entertainment belonging in the same sentence. They have a reaction to it that they cannot control. It's not a mental reaction nor a reasoned opinion, but a gut reaction. Many attitudes to pornography are based on these gut reactions. They're not rational.
"[At Hustler] We try to put together an interesting and funny magazine. We have a lot of serious stuff that's not about porn. We try to get people thinking for themselves. We try not to insult the intelligence of the reader by rehashing the accepted public relations of the business. Many magazines are just PR releases slapped together."
Alan reads many magazines, particularly enjoying Harpers and Hot Video, a French porn mag. Though Alan can't read French, he enjoys looking at the pictures.
"One of my favorite mags ever was the mid '70s National Lampoon. The writing quality was consistently high. We strive for that kind of quality.
"I'd like to get more pages in to Hustler to make it a bigger magazine. Our main challenge is to maintain our standard.
"All the urinating, defecating jokes are just basic humor. They are the first jokes many of us learn. Cavemen probably made jokes about that stuff.
"Hustler is getting more hardcore with the photo sex. No one is sure what you can do because there are no laws about it. You put it on the market and see what happens. We feature cum shots every issue. Other magazines like Penthouse are also heating up."
"If a chick's picture is the primary visual of a porn-tape box, or if her name is emblazoned across it, most dicks in the market expect her to get royally and variously f---ed on the film, by the more dudes the better," points out Allen, in his pose as Christian Shapiro. "Her allure is being used to sell the product. Yet, more and more these days, richly-paid stabled smut holes are appearing in flick after flick and taking either no dick at all or only the choad of a boyfriend or husband. In Pussyman 3, Julia Ann pretends to be a porn princess. Don't believe it."
Women's magazines like Mademoiselle, Glamour and Cosmopolitan feature occasional articles on X-rated movies and their effects on relationships. In May 1995's Mademoiselle, a young lady recounts the time her relationship with her boyfriend encountered a dramatic difference between them.
"He put one of those videos into the VCR. He said it was a homemade tape, not a professional one. That made me feel more at ease. I figured it wouldn't be something hardcore. I was expecting some new positions, a vibrator, maybe some baby oil. I was getting really interested and curious. I had slept with only two guys before Larry, and they were strictly conventional.
"Well, I have never seen anything so repulsive in all my life. I was completely grossed out by the video. There were three guys and one woman. First, the guys were having oral sex with each other, and they were masturbating near her face. When they came - well, you get the picture."
The porn industry has tried for over twenty years to attract female customers without much success. The first big venture was Playboy's launching of Playgirl, which remains the only sex mag for women. Those women who enjoy looking at naked bodies seem to prefer looking at naked female bodies than naked male bodies. Female bodies are more interesting, with more curves, variety and mystery.
Magazines like Playboy and Penthouse provide an excellent guide to what female body types attract men. While magazines for women such as Vogue, Seventeen (Calvin Klein ads) and other fashion magazines seem obsessed with skinny women, the pictures that men buy to fantasize over portray voluptuous women. Jewish theologian Dennis Prager advocates showing a copy of Playboy to a woman obsessed with being skinny. "This is what attracts men. Not the boyish girls in Calvin Klein ads."
The porno presses have made attempts to attract female customers. Chic resembles Cosmopolitan in content but with explicit pictures. Penthouse publishes Forum which includes articles oriented towards women. Unlike skin mags, Forum doesn't include nude pinups of women but rather matches stories with softer illustrations. While Forum includes nonfiction articles on sexually related topics, Penthouse also offers its reader a more lurid magazine called Variations.
Devoted almost exclusively to first-person narratives describing almost every sexual experience imaginable, Variations editor, V.K. McCarty, who is referred to in the industry as "the grandmother of kinky sex," insists that all the letters are genuine. Unlike the more discreet Forum, Variations offers photographs of men and women in all sorts of poses, but McCarty believes the magazines is something "any American housewife would find palatable."
As women began to show up in their rising circulation figures, the business department told editorial "to soften the graphicness of the sexuality." McCarty took "bare nipples off the cover," and dropped "incest and bestiality" from the magazine's menu of sexual dishes.
The mainstream media usually portray porn negatively for most coverage only occurs when there's a scandal like a Savannah suicide. Newspaper and magazine editors, particularly feminists, shy away from portrayals of sex as sport or entertainment. New York Times reporter Nick Ravo wrote an article on nude beaches and another on Ron Jeremy that editors killed. Aghast at finding pictures of Jeremy, a photo editor searched for the accompanying article. He complained to other editors that the Times was profiling a porn star until the article was dropped. "Editors don't want anything about porn other than a cautionary tale," says Ravo.
Los Angels Times Media critic David Shaw backs up that point in his book The Pleasure Police. "Newspapers and magazines - the New York Times Magazine in particular - routinely publish photographs that depict scantily clad women, women whose heaving bosoms are fairly bursting out of their bras, women who sometimes appear sexually aroused. But those photos only appear in advertisements. Never mind Mapplethorpe; neither the New York Times nor any other mainstream newspaper would consider publishing these lingerie photographs in their news columns, not even to illustrate a story in which the woman's attire is absolutely critical to the story. The (immoral) moral: using sex to make money is okay; using sex to tell a story is not."
As the number of persons watching sexually explicit films increased through the 1970s, a specialized media developed to cover the industry. Within a decade, the sex flick and the sex mag industry virtually merged, with common use of the same talent. An attractive woman featured in a mens' magazine like Penthouse is soon approached to do a video. And covering porn fills increasing space in the sex magazines such as Hustler and Swank. Many rely for their photo spreads on free stills of coming flicks. Some periodicals like Playboy, Penthouse and Screw release their own sexvids.
A year after Deep Throat, Penthouse went pink by becoming the first major men's magazine to reveal female genitalia. Playboy followed, then reversed itself in 1977 because Hefner thought such exposure unromantic.
Bianca Trump vs Brandy Alexandre
Bianca Trump, who now has six cameras running in her house for her site www.biancatrump.com, has sent out the following notice to abuse@digex.com regarding Brandy Alexandre:
To whom it may concern.
The indicated amount of time has passed since I made my demand that you cease and desist the activities with regard to libel, copyright infringement, harassment, and false claims and accusations.
The web site kamikaze.org still contains the defamatory statements and false accusations you know are not true. Falsehoods are not protected under "free speech" or the first amendment, and if you do not remedy this situation immediately I will pursue legal action against you for these violations directly, and your web hosting for their contributory libel and other violations.
You falsely claim as follows:
"All of this came to an end, however, when I was "outted" to Forest Lawn via a Usenet newsgroup by what had turned into a trio of cyberstalkers--two unknown, but one was porn star/prostitute Bianca Trump."
These are false and libelous statements and accusations you have made, indeed, lies, and are damaging to my reputation. This statement is not true in any way shape or form, and it has not been altered in any way to my satisfaction. Again I am forwarding this to all involved parties as well as my attorney at Law Mr. Sidney Fleishman, Ft. Lauderdale, FL..
BrandyAlx1: Tell the "top" men of the industry to quit whining about the nominations. Yeah, I think it sucks that any guys in the biz use artificial means to produce "wood." It should be ban like breast implants from Miss America, but what are you going to do? Hasn't the axiom always been, "It's not the wand, it's the magician?" Well, so what the method for getting erect, how good were they with it once they got there?
BrandyAlx1: How will BT justify her value of $500 when she's getting ready to give it away for $187.50 at the Bunny Ranch? Is it the cost of getting dressed after each, or what? I thought she couldn't even get a bid on her panties.
BrandyAlx1: In response to BT's comments, you MUST allow stories from both sides, Digex pretty much has her in their killfile after that totally bogus complaint of email harassment that showed her as the sender in her poorly forged headers. I should also point out that after her tirade about people using her name to attract surfers to their porn web sites, Bianca Trump uses the names of Jenna Jameson, Nikki Tyler, Nikki Dial, Asia Carerra, Raquel Darrian, Sunset Thomas, Tori Wells, Ashlym Gere, Alissa Klass, Serinity, Janine, Sylvia Saint, Melissa Hill, Nici Sterling, Lexus, and Chelsea Blue in her META tags to capture surfers to her web site
BrandyAlx1: For someone who makes a LOT of noise about the use of her name (ignorant as her assumptions of rights may be), she has a fat lot of nerve when she so blatantly trades on the names of other for her own profit.
BrandyAlx1: BTW, those are not her words in her "cease and desist" whatever. That is copied from my professionally written letters to her when she was posting false claims that I faxed somebody and she had proof when I hadn't and so proof does not exist. I wouldn't want anyone to think she can string more than three intelligent words together.
Luke: Did you know Bianca has some pictures of herself at your house on her website?
Brandy: No
Luke: You have to go there, it's at...
Brandy: No I don't. If Bianca continually wants to prove to her fans she's an obsessed and insane stalker, she really doesn't need my participation.
Luke: Because I will no longer traffic in human misery, instead of persuing the bruising Kerkove vs LGI and Bianca vs Brandy stories, I ask porners (including anyone who has ever masturbated to pornographic images real or imagined) to submit original essays on any of the following topics:
* Why are you Jewish porners always attacking the Roman Catholic church?
* Why are so few schvartzes allowed to direct pornographic videos?
* Why are so many porners guilty of racial treason by encouraging miscegenation?
* Does pornography lead to Bolshevism?
* Are we guilty of defining deviancy down? I fear that we are lowering moral threshholds that should be raised, not lowered.
Please reply using examples from X-rated movies released by Evil Angel.
Chaim Amalek writes Luke: Great questions! I look forward to watching the porners try to avoid these issues. Re Maxim, while I have never read an article in it (but I have seen the interesting pictures), maybe the take is the "defining deviancy down" angle in porn. That is, what does it take for such a magazine to get noticed these days? What does it take for a consumer of such magazines to get what he expects from such publications - has the surfeit of such material affected the male libido? And to what degree are the Jews to blame for all this?
Re bible study [Luke invited Chaim to a Monday night Torah class], are these torah classes integrated by gender? Do hot women attend? What sort of woman studies the sacred texts in LA? Is she looking for a hook-up, or just spiritual enlightenment? What fraction of LA jewish women are into this? Are there any potential converts among them? How many per class?
Finally, I have read in the papers that the multimillionaire jew Howard Stern is attempting to shut down the HowardSternDivorce.com web site. I would like all of your readers to express their disgust with this ham-handed attempt to censor the little guy by contacting the mulitmillionaire jew Mel Karmazan, the head of CBS, as well as some of the sponsors of CBS programming to make their opinion known.
Todd Gumm writes: Hey Luke, How long has this Bianca vs. Brandy thing been going on? Seems like a lifetime, doesn't it? Personally I think Bianca Trump is a troublemaker, She basically stole Brandy's site, and she (Bianca T.) has always came across as a money hungry cheap whore, I remember seeing a post in a newsgroup where she posted a statement begging people to vote for her as Busty's Big Tit Bitch of the year or somethig like that, now to me that seems kind of LOW, begging for votes, LOL! Bianca has always been one of the lowest wenches on the pornstar totem pole, and on the other hand you have Brandy, who is without a doubt much classier and more intelligent that Bianca could ever even dream about being! I know at times Brandy has said or done things that have stirred up trouble, But when it comes down to who is smarter, sexier, prettier, more honest, more reliable, and higher class of a human being, Well, Brandy wins easily!! I think if you look down the road in about 10 years, Brandy will still be a classy, admirable, tell-it-like-it-is woman, And Bianca will be a washed up, has been, ex-cheap whore. Now keep in mind this is just my opinion, but an opinion I believe to be very truthful. Hell, Bianca is probablly on her favorite street corner selling $5 BJ's as we speak! lol
Dave writes: "I am no expert on this but how about an opinion from the other side (I do Insurance Law not Porn). India is as new and as boring as a Susn B. Anthony Dollar coin.(100 Videos Later) Sugarwalls 14 can not hold a candle to Sugarwalls 15 and South Central Hookers 8 over Number 11 this makes no sense."
David Aaron Clark writes on RAME: Give poor old Cumisha Amado a break, fellas. She is absolutely biologically female, though, as all have noted, quite long in the tooth. And as for Lady Paree -- yeah, she's scary, but in fact she won a lawsuit against a major porn manufacturer for portraying her as a TS when, in fact, she isn't.
Pat Riley writes on RAME: I think most g/g is boring because it's so fake but there are the occasional scenes in, for example, the Rodney Moore tapes, that I find very erotic. As a purely general statement (there may be exceptions, but I can't think of any at the moment) most BMWF interracial is also boring probably because you have the impression that the girl doesn't want to be there.
On the other hand, WMBF can be good or bad in approximately the same proportion as WMWF, probably because there's no freak appeal. BMBF in my experience might actually be a cut above average. Maybe it's the movies I watch but there seems to be a very different attitude of the BM's to the BF's than to WF's. Far less of the "I'm going to split the little white bitch in two" and more romantic, or at least pleasurable for all.
James DiGiorgio says some Germans approached him to shoot bestiality. Jim refused.
Fred Nek writes: 1. Pat Riley's comment re Cumisha was out of line. Ms. Amado is average. She is not ugly. Probably for her age, she is above average.
2. I was going to answer your question as to whether pornography led to Bolshevism, but shortly after drafting my response my ISP was nationalized.
3. I've decided that Brandy Alexandre occupies the moral high ground vis-a-vis Ms. Trump. Granted, I still recall a rather skewering comment made by Ms. Alexendre about Ms. Trump. Trump was whining about something, e.g. a breast implant that went awry or something, and Ms. Alexendre retorted: "Life is tough. It's even tougher when you're stupid." However, Trump's stealing the web site name was way out of line. To recap, I think Alexandre occupies the moral high ground. I've also come to the conclusion that Alexanre is quite bright. I assume you agree.
Bianca Trump writes Luke: "hmmmm stupid? 175$ at the ranch? I think not I am closing on another house thursday 2 houses 2 cars a portfolio to retire on and a job to go to tommarrow 5 web sites, 2 corperations, 6 didget income, whoo's stupid? I must be confused tell her that while she lives in a flee bag shack with a broke down car her site is coming down I promise you that I give it 2 weeks tops I filed the suite today i see ya didnt post my reply? I forgot one thing my meta tags reflect buisness i do with stars for porn vixens site we now feature a monthly star too none of those girls are copyright names that is the big difference besides when was this about meta tags anyways?"
Brandy Alexandre writes Luke: Luke, I take exception to my name being included in the context implied by the paragraph below:
"The average starlet was a high school dropout [like Sindee Coxx, Brandy Alexandre], or just barely made it. An inordinate number drove Chevrolets. The industry learned to pander to their fantasies by making them into "stars" for awards shows and conventions. The average starlet has a strange boyfriend - one who gets off in some way, on watching her screw other men. Few boyfriends make the transition. Few starlets come into the business alone, or, if in, remain alone for long."
This paragraph assumes that the girls who dropped out of HS did so for lack of academic skill. This was not the reason nor case with my having dropped out and I find the inference offensive. Also, with my name in this paragraph it implies through the subsequent text that I was one of the idiots who thought porn was a stepping stone to "real" stardom. This is also not true in my case. In fact, I blew off three "legit" movie roles. One of the reasons I got into porn was because I was in lust with John Leslie. Generally speaking, I was kicking back on a pile of cash from a lawsuit settlement, sharing an apartment with Bill Margold, and chose porn "because it was there." (I should also point out that I had quit my job at a Hollywood studio, furthering the obvious point that if I was looking for stardom I would have stayed there and tried really, really hard.) Please use someone else as your "example," of stupidity and pie-in-the-sky dreams. Even you must admit that does not describe me.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court is taking a new look at free speech on cable television in deciding whether the government's effort to shield children from Playboy Television and other sex-oriented cable networks went too far.
According to www.imdb.com, Alicyn Sterling died in a car accident in Las Vegas July 21, 1999. Can anyone confirm?
Antonio Passolini writes on RAME: Yes, in prescribing the content of VCA's movies I was following the owner's directives, I was more than happy to do so, I believed in and agreed with the company's policies and understood the reason for their existence, and I would do it all over again exactly the same way. Perhaps the point I was trying to make was that in a perfect world, we wouldn't have had to worry about such matters as sex and violence in the same movie. But it wasn't and still isn't a perfect world, and pornographers are not in this business--despite the seeming belief of some in this NG--to become the sacrificial lambs at the altar of the First Amendment. Unfortunately, this is a position they all too often find themselves in as they attempt to satisfy the public's desire for erotic entertainment, and many, including the owner of VCA, have paid dearly for it. Unfortunately, that's the way it is, and I can only wonder if you yourself would be willing to go to jail and lose all your assets to produce and distribute the kind of material you have found fault with us for shying away from.
