Vivid Laughs
Frank writes on RAME: I found the below email that I received amusing, and since I actually like some Vivid flicks, I figured the Vivid haters out here would really get a kick out of it. I find the irony and misrepresentation to be quite amusing.
"BEHIND-THE-SCENES WITH VIVID PORN SUPERSTARS Thousands of never-before-seen sex scenes straight from the set of Vivid Video's most outrageous movies have been released from the U.S. Censorship Office and are available at http://www.vividvideo.com/club. Hardcore f---ing and sucking with Janine, Chasey Lain, Kobe Tai, Christy Canyon and other stars was filmed in bathrooms, hallways, outdoors and other very discreet places that were never shown on film. These extremely filthy sex acts are only available at http://www.vividvideo.com/club and have been held back from the public because of their perverse intensity. The scenes can now be released on the internet and be seen in the privacy of homes. Go to Vivid now at http://www.vividvideo.com/club to view the XXX action that's been the talk of the industry."
Frank: Yep - these are those secret Vivid films that Mila and Max have been hiding from the public, finally being released. :-) LOL
Rob Spallone vs Duke
I stumbled out of bed at 8:50 AM and answered the phone. I hear Rob Spallone's voice.
Rob: "I've got the scoop of the day. Blow it up all over your site and leave it there for days. Anybody that shoots at Duke's (Sydney Glassberg) new house on 4900 Calvin in Woodland Hills, Rob Spallone will be sending cops there every single day to check for drugs and for shoots. Every single day they will go through everybody's pocketbooks and purses for the drugs... Rob Spallone vouches that there will be no shoots there from now on. Duke's calling everyone to shoot at his house where there are no shoots allowed. Damien [Michaels] shot there yesterday."
Tori Welles
I hear that ex-porn star Tori Welles was not looking good at Vivid's party Tuesday night. She's been having major problems lately. It was odd that she would show up at a Vivid party because of her problems with the company. At CES, a couple of Vivid execs said they were having nothing further to do with Tori Welles. "She's having problems and she's out of here."
XXX writes: I worked on a shoot where she was the production manager for Jerry Tanner and she was fine looking good. Acting fine and doing a very professional job. Better check your sources on this one.
Harley Fire Sex Lounge
I appeared live on the Harley's Sex Lounge cable access show October 14 with Club magazine contract girl Angel Veil (along with Janine and Jenna Jameson) and ex-porn star Alicia Rio.
Angel: "I was shooting three layouts a day for three weeks... And Club magazine discovered me... I won this Disappearing Lingerie contest..."
Alicia: "I went to Fairbanks, Alaska for 30 days. I was looking at a club called Reflections that I might invest in and call, "Reflections of Rio."
Harley requests blaring rock background music which fills the rest of the show.
Alicia: "I've been on Luke F-rd's site and I have to admit that everything he wrote on there, because I did go through a bad period, is all true. He gets the facts down."
Harley Fire: "Luke gets a lot of flak from people. Some people want to kill him."
Alicia: "Oh sure, that's because they don't want to admit the truth. He gets down, the truth, the nitty gritty."
Harley: "Luke, where do you get your information?"
Luke: "From people like Alicia Rio, who call me up and tell me what is going on. From people who know Alicia Rio, fans of Alicia Rio who say, 'Hey, I saw her at this club and she put on a great show. She put on a bad show.' I talk to people in the industry, from company owners to performers..."
Mike: "I wanted to know if you Harley had ever been in adult movies?"
Harley: "For thepornosexlounge.com."
Veil: "I've talked to Vivid Video, Peter North, Private... There was a time when I was thinking of doing adult movies, but it is a career... Every single day... If you're under contract, you have to do X number of movies... I do other things. I act, I do spokesmodelling... I opened an adult toy line..."
Harley brings out a huge clear dildo.
Harley: "I want to ask Luke, who were some of your role models growing up? Was this the industry you were looking to get into?"
Luke laughs. "No it wasn't."
Harley: "You could be on Entertainment Tonight or the E! Channel..."
Luke: "My background is in journalism... As a teenager, I wanted to get into TV news... My heroes as a kid were Winston Churchill, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln along with Biblical figures like Moses and King David.
"My father is a Christian theologian and I was raised deeply in religion... My writing today is a form of rebellion... Even though I still lead a fairly religious life, I am in touch with wanting to put moral boundaries behind you and just indulge. It's this tension between what my religion demands of me and what my testosterone demands of me that gives my site its neurotic flavor."
Alicia Rio: "I wanted to agree with Luke. You can be spiritual and be in this business of sin."
Caller: "I was wondering why you guys never have really good looking women on your show?"
Harley cuts him off.
Alicia: "My role models are strong dominant women like Madonna and Cher..."
Caller: "Hello Harley. You've talked to me before. I think you called me 'Enema Boy' once. I wanted to ask...the Mexican gal in white [Alicia Rio]... Was there ever a time when she thought she could take it upon herself to put out for her fan club a private enema video for some of us caca fans. Harley, I'd really like to see you put out an enema video. In fact, I'd like to give you an enema myself. See you put out a real f---ing..."
Harley: "Luke, how important is sex to you? Do you have a normal girlfriend?"
Luke: "This industry has considerably diminished my sexual appetite. I used to have this great dream of illicit sex with lots of women and then I got into this industry and saw what that did to people. Now I just want to get married, monogamous, lights out, missionary position... White picket fence, kids..."
Caller: "That guy in the suit [Luke] is a fruitcake."
Harley: "Our good friend Tony Montana is HIV positive. I saw that on your site Luke and was completely shocked..."
Angel discusses the type of men she finds attractive. "I like the bad boy... It used to be that what I was attracted to and what I dated were two totally different things... I dated the suit-wearing guy who gets perfect grades while peaking at the guy with all tattoos. I love tattoos and piercings..."
Angel's fiance has long hair down to his waist as well as piercings and tattoos.
Rio says she looks for a man who is in the military.
Harley: "Luke, what do you look for in the opposite sex?"
Luke: "I look for someone conventional because I'm the artistic eccentric type. Someone who will go to synagogue with me on Saturday. Someone to raise my kids. A white tablecloth and candles on Friday night... Someone intelligent who I have chemistry with..."
Harley: "You're not going to find any of that in this industry." A caller asks if there are male fluffer for female porn stars?
Luke: "No..."
Alicia: "Why not?"
Luke: "And there aren't female fluffers for male porn stars either... Why not? Because women, frankly, aren't required to do that much in a porn film. She lies there and get pronged..."
Alicia: "Check out my latest video... Misty Cam 4. I really worked my ass off.
"I'm only having sex with myself right now. I don't have the need to perform in front of the camera anymore. I don't have a boyfriend right now... I'm just on this self-growth... I just choose to have sex with my Jeff Stryker dildo."
Harley: "Just ten seconds left, Luke what advice would you give to someone in the industry?"
Luke caught unprepared: "To get out."
Alicia: "Use a condom and get your tests."
Angel: "Read everything before you sign it."
Taylor Hayes Dances In Toronto
AJB writes on RAME about Taylor Hayes dancing in Toronto at the Whiskey A Go Go:
The wife dropped me off at Toronto's (Vaughn township) "Whiskey A Go Go" for the 6:30 Wednesday Dec. 16 show of Taylor Hayes -- of Seymour Butts and Vivid film fame. Wifey gave me a peck on the cheek and wished me a good time at the nudey bar. I got in and took a front row seat in pervert's row, strategically located near the brass pole and with a direct line view of video monitors on the other side of the room which were playing a Tia Bella flick (cut cable version); if a stripper doesn't interest me, I stare at the porn movie but since my eyes are fixed in the same general direction of the stripper it makes me look like an attentive gentlemen. You gotta plan these details out carefully when seeing a strip show.
I've seen just a couple Taylor Hayes things in the past: Assgasms and Deep Behind the Scenes with Seymour Butts (or somesuch title) and nothing of her 1998 or 1999 releases. Still, she struck me as having a lot of magnetism on film especially as she was gazing into the camera with a cock in her mouth.
Anyway, she came out wearing a latex billy-bee outift (black and yellow segments of latex stitched together with cross hatched thin nylon strings) and bitch-high heels. Lot of guys bowing before her in the "we're not worthy!" manner. She held a radiant smile and her face was lovely.
Oddly, her legs were all hacked up: scabs on her knees and an old whitened scar on her right rear thigh and (I think) a small cut on her lower buttocks. Now, I'm all for women on their knees and a little spanking too -- but geez, Taylor Hayes looked like she might need medical attention. Probably too many rough floors in strip clubs.
The music was all hard rock, mostly old Motley Crue stuff. Not too interesting. Her dance moves weren't anything spectacular, just average. A few antics were notable as the clothes came off song by song.
She stuck her finger in one dude's mouth, he sucked on it for maybe 5 seconds, then she withdrew it and slid it on her butt cheek. Now, if she'd rubbed into her pussy instead and then offered it to my mouth, what the f--- would I do about that dilemma? Didn't happen though.
Taylor often slinked and sauntered over to guys at the edge of the stage, slid her finger down their chest and gazed lovingly into their eyes. With one guy, her finger kept sliding down until in rested on his swollen Mayor Dinkens. Another guy, really old grandfather fellow, had Taylor whisper nasty nothings in his ear (maybe she was recruiting him for her next film?). Third chuckle-head stood there mesmerized as Taylor slowly drew her pouty lips closer and closer to his without ever quite touching. She tossed out maybe 5 or 6 free pussy rubbed posters to the loudest motherf---ers in the audience... I was feeling too quiet to fight for one myself.
A few super-fans got up on the stage and laid down with $5 stuffed in their yappers. Taylor Hayes was happy to jump on them, ride them a little and rub her boobies on their faces. One shmuck got his $5 bill sliding across Taylor's labia for a few moments.
After the show, I hooked up with Taylor for 5 minutes. I showed her my collection of polaroids of me and various pornstars and she pointed out some she was in the same movie with: Felicia (whom she rather liked), J.R. Carrington (whom she barely remembered it seemed), Jill Kelly and Tera Heart. She liked my photo with Jenna Jameson & Nikki Tyler and I remarked "Oh, but you never did a film with them did you?". Taylor replied, "I did them in private life. They're fantastic." Visions of carpet munching triangles floated before my eyes. I begged her: "The next time you see Nici Sterling, tell her to get her butt up to Canada so I can see her." Taylor said she hadn't seen Nici in a long time except at an awards ceremony. I had a polaroid picture taken with her ($20 Canadian dollars -- probably that works out to 5 cents American given the f---ing exchange rate). Not a bad picture, but she didn't take her g-string off and there was no mention of paying more for a racier photo. If some of you ask me for it, I'll scan in the picture and e-mail it to you as an HTML embedded pic. Come to think of it, I should scan in my Lisa Ann pic from a few weeks back too...
Anyway, Taylor Hayes was fairly personable and her show had some good moments. Not as physically perfect as Bianca Trump, not as volcanic as a Selena Steele show, no up-close pussy examinations like Sheila Stone (any one remember her?), no major pussy rubbing like Kia or Alexandria Quinn, no spanking of patrons like Rebecca Wild does BUT Taylor Hayes has an erotic show with good finger play, direct contact with customers, a few good laughs and lots of personality. I really should have stayed to see if the second show was wilder but the wife had to come and pick me up. Generally a fun show and worth seeing if she comes to your town.
----- Extra notes: A second feature act came on, a Chinese babe called "China White". A nice teaser with a hard hooker face, super long nipples and huge round buns with a sharp tan line. Apparently she has been featured in Hustler magazine and has a role in the upcoming mainstream release about the Mitchell Brothers. China White is worth snorting up: she has a bod made for sin, specifically an ass that is designed for anal sex. If any of you fast talkers on RAME ever meet up with this slant eyed she-devil, beg her to do some porn movies -- preferably with me. I mean, once you've done Hustler, doesn't that mean you're fated to do a porn movie?
Last week I saw a feature called "Eva Harlow". The DJ said she'd be in a soon to be released XXX flick called "Millenium Woman". Eva Harlow (or was that Gabor?) has a Betty Page style jet black hair-do and pointy tits made for honking. She came out, in the act I saw, wearing a Xena the Warrior Princess outfit and swinging around a sword. Eva also put on a fabulous stage-fire show, rubbing what looked like giant flaming tampons all over her body. I'll be interested to know how she does in the world of porn. Finally, a big thank you to Whiskey A Go Go for putting on such great porn starlets so frequently (the greatest to date, for me was Tiffany Mynx). I don't work for the club or have any stake in it but let me rave on for a moment.
The waitresses are all cool chicks, very hip and super friendly. The DJs are hilarious. Lately they've been putting on 3 free lap dance orgies every evening: every single gal in the place gets assigned by the DJ to some lucky s----head for a free dance. While I was there, one girl was stripping about 3 feet to my left and another about 3 feet over to my right. My head was turning like a tennis match spectator on crack. Female patrons feel very comfortable in the club; once I saw four university girls having a wicked good time sitting in perverts row. This is a truly marvelous club. I will leave all my assets to Whiskey A Go Go in my last will & testament if they ever show any 4 of the following: Chasey Lain, Shonna Lynn, Kitty Yung, Shay Sweet, Dominque Simone, Aja, Barret Moore, Christy Canyon, Asia Carrera, Alisha Klass, Sierra, Midori, Careena Collins, Mia Smiles, Janette Littledove, Elle Rio, Silvia Saint. I know that virtually none of these girls on my wish list goes out dancing these days but I can always dream.
Gossip
Chandler and Charlie will be performing live Sunday night for Harley Fire's thepornosexlounge.com. Free. An Award-winning Italian documentarian will be filming the event. He's working on a film about the adult business. He's been following around Jill Kelly, Ron Jeremy, Rayne and Sharon Mitchell.
Despo writes on RAME: I want to know if there are any movies with sex between priests/nuns and others (possibly other priests/nuns)? I just watched Vista Valley PTA, and there was this rather hot scene between Jamie Gillis and Sharon Kane. Jamie Gillis plays some sort of a repressed missionary/priest (in an earlier scene, he had a joint masturbation with a hooker) and Sharon Kane is his teenage daughter who's getting tired of her missionary father's constant admonitions not to be sinful (wear a bra, etc etc). One night, she comes back late, Daddy comes to her bedroom to scold her, but very soon he's f---ing her on the bed. The camerawork was a litte frustrating (no full-body shots) and they only did one position (sort of missionary, what else do you expect from a priest) but the scene was hot, I thought. It was a potent mixture of incest and religion.
Laurie Holmes Sues Luke
Laurie Holmes, who's suing Bill Amerson, VCA and Luke F-rd for calling her a hooker, is listed as available at the Bunny Ranch for sexual services in the December AVN.
While many people have threatened to sue Luke, this is the first time someone has filed a case against him.
Luke: Can anyone tell me about the attornies representing Laurie Holmes? They must be real scumbags to take a case like this.
The attornies representing Holmes are Park, Smith, Chang & Lim LLP, at 3435 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 2920 Los Angeles, CA 90010 (213) 386-5595, fax (213) 384-7110.
Monty writes: Hey Luke, Just thought you might want to know that prostitution at the Bunny Ranch is not a crime and is irrelevant to the case at hand. So someone finally is busting your chops. Is a woman finally going to take you down?
Hymie calls Luke Friday afternoon: "I just did some research. Gary Frischer is not an attorney. He is the one handling it for Laurie Holmes. [He's a media manager.] He's at 818-731-9750. You are not being sued. I called the Park, Smith, Chang & Lim firm for a reference number for the suit and they did not have one. They referred me to Gary Frischer. So, something to send you off on a serene shabbas..."
From : Park Smith & Lim LLP, attornies representing Laurie Holmes, the widow of the late adult performer John Holmes, have filed a lawsuit against both Luke F-rd and Ford's Internet provider Fantastic On Line.
The suit which was filed December 14 in the Superior Court of the State of California contends that Ford on November 11, 1999 "republished on his World Wide Web site the following description originally uttered by William Amerson" concerning Holmes and that Ford did so "with knowledge of their falsity."
Amerson is quoted, or rather re-quoted by Ford as saying, "She [Laurie Holmes] was a hooker. While she was making a movie, during the breaks, she'll get dressed...She always dressed as a little girl because she knew that she could make more money from men if she looked younger. She'd go hitchhike around the blocks and turn tricks in the car and come back iun time for the scene."
The entire hooker controversy stems from an article which first appeared in the New York Post stating that Laurie Homes was suing Amerson, John Holmes' one time best friend. Amerson said basically the same things about Laurie Holmes in the documentary "Wadd: The Life and Times of John Holmes." Holmes has denied ever being a prostitute and subsequently brought suit against Amerson, director Wes Emerson and VCA Labs among others.
Holmes also filed that suit in the Superior Court of the State of California. Gary Frischer, one of Holmes' attornies said at the time: "The most important thing to understand about this [the Amerson] lawsuit is that in this film Bill Amerson accuses and convicts Laurie of committing a crime. In the state of California you can't do that." Frischer said this is considered slander per se.
"It is based on the fact that if you accuse someone of a crime, and prostitution is a crime in California; if you don't have a conviction for that crime, that's slander per se. Damages are presumed. We don't have to go into the kind of damages or pain and suffering; they're presumed. It's presumed that her reputation was injured. It's a slam-dunk case."
Fantastic On Line's role in the December 14 suit is stated: "On or about the same time [November 11], and at various times thereafter, Fantastic sponsored Ford's website and allowed it to remain online and open to the public via the Internet. The suit goes on to say that on November 15, Holmes' attornies sent Fantastic a letter asserting that the statements about Holmes were wholly false and demanded that Ford and Fantastic remove "the defamatory statements" from Ford's website.
"Ford reprinted the demand letter of plaintiff on his World Wide Web site on November 15, 1999, but did not remove the "defamatory statements" from his web site, the suit contends. The Ford suit states that Amerson's words were "slanderous per se" because they charge [Holmes] with the crime of prostitution in violation of California Civil Code section 46 [1].
"The words uttered were false because [Holmes] has never committed the crime of prostitution," the Ford suit states. According to the Ford suit, "as a proximate result of this false statement," [Holmes] has suffered injury to her reputation, business, trade, profession and occupation. The suit also contends that Ford published the quotes with "malice and oppression" in that he "willfully and intentionally published" false statements "solely for the purpose of causing [Holmes] ridicule, embarrassment and disdain in the community."
The suit cites Fantastic On Line with malice and oppression and reckless disregard for the truth after a cease and desist request. The suit also charges Fantastic with oppression, fraud or malice persuant to California Civil Code section 3294. The suit asks for exemplary and punitive damages according to proof in a number of areas including loss of earnings, damages to reputation, business, trade, profession, occupation and court costs.
Optimistic in Modesto writes: Transcript of the world's shortest court trial: Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury may I present exhibit "A". Laurie Holmes in her performance as a "fluff" girl at the Houston 500 Gang Bang. Case dismissed.
XXX writes: This is damn funny. And you slandered her how?
hook·er2 (hkr) n. 1.Slang. A prostitute pros·ti·tute (prst-tt, -tyt) n. 1.One who solicits and accepts payment for sex acts. 2.One who sells one's abilities, talent, or name for an unworthy purpose.
Here's a great defense. Prove she's a "hooker". Get all the movie producers up on the stands and ask them if they paid her money to perform in any movies. Bam. Not slander!
Frank writes: Luke, Once again you miss the whole point. The issue of the suit is not about the chastity of Laurie Holmes. She's a porn actress, big deal. It's not a crime in California. The issue is your complete disregard for the motives behind Mr. Amerson's statements and the truth or falsity of the accusations he makes against her. He accuses her of committing the crime of prostitution in California, for which she has never been arrested or convicted. This is "slander per se" and is actionable. Further, re-publication of the slanderous statements by a person who knowingly and maliciously does so is also slander per se. You re-published Mr. Amerson's statements, giving him more audience, knowing Amerson was being sued for it, and disregarded information that the accusations were false. This is malice. She doesn't even have to prove actual damages, they're "presumed". You even confess in your writings to being a "rumor monger". Laurie gets points just for having a great case against you. See: http://lawschool.mtcibs.com/class/emanuel/torts/epc-tort-chapter17.htm Get a lawyer Luke, you're owned.
Porner writes: These are the times I wish I had gone to law school (almost did it....). Frankly though, being an upstanding pornographer (oxymoron?) is better than being a sleazy lawyer. Or a hooker.
Hymie writes: "I can't find Park Smith & Lim *or* attorney Gary Frischer in the Martindale-Hubbell legal d-base. Maybe Laurie Holmes found their number scrawled on a crack-house wall... Juris imprudence? You betcha!"
Susie writes: Dear Luke Wht it is that you have the need to attack people with no regard for the truth is your business. However, in the case of Laurie Holmes and her desire to to clear her name she obviously convinced one of Los Aneles's best known litigators to take on her case and his track record is easily avaiable through any internet search. Gregory Smith, of Park Smith and Lim has taken on and beaten some of the biggest Corpoations in the world and for the past six months he and his numerous clients have been profiled on world wide television and newspapers. Obviualy, Laurie has a great case against you - well known lawyers do not take cases they can't win. Good Luck-You Need It.
Kendra Jade
JoeL writes: To Kendra, I second the emotion that I'm glad you've survived the operation, but feel you didn't need it in the first place. Having said that, I also understand hearing the voices of self-doubt. With me, it's a self-help book, outfit, woman, cologne, medication or seminar that I think will make me feel complete. My voices may not resonate as loudly in my head as they have in yours...but I know how compelling they can be. I may be lucky that I don't have people telling me to my face what the voices say...it sounds like you do. We're all stronger than we think, Kendra.
Kendra replies: JOEL_ i had to respond to your letter even though I had sworn to myself to not read the websites for a while nor to participate in them any longer.But so many people have commented on my surgery or questioned my self esteem , etc. that i felt obliged. I do not want to get in to a war-of-words with anyone, nor do i want to battle anyone or anything like that.
So to all the people who want to be negative _FEEL FREE.I have come to a point in my life right now where i am surrounded by friends and loved ones and thats all that matters to me. I think when you are at a point where you realize that you could be dead, a lot of your views change.Thats where i am, so try as they might...No one can bring me down.I know what is important to me! And i just want to clarify a few things.
First of all, When i got into this business, yes MANY MANY people told me i HAD to get this or that done.My boobs, my nose , my teeth, blah blah blah. and i listened, i thought it would get more work..etc.But not only that I felt ugly , and no.
