Porners Panic As Bush Wins Second Term
Things Change
From my 7/27/04 interview with Bruce David and Mark Cromer:
Bruce: "Mark is my lieutenant. He has extensive contacts in the journalist
community."
Duke: "Mark, why did you come on board as features editor?"
Mark: "Because the opportunity to work with my friend Bruce David was
not something I wanted to pass up. He's got Greg Palast in the book now.
He's got interviews with Chris Hitchens. Hustler is going back to its
journalistic roots when it had a certain cachet."
Travis writes: "It's a dark day in Funnytown now that the comedy team of David and Cromer has broken up."
Ron Jeremy Chats With John Kerry
Gene Ross Reacts To Philadelphia Magazine's Profile Of Paul Fishbein
What Happened To Hustler's Features Editor Mark Cromer?
Bruce David, Hustler Editor, replies to my email of inquiry: "He resigned. I would like to tell you the whole story but company policy prohibits that. You can talk to Cromer if you like but his version of events is likely to be inaccurate. I don't really think he knows what happened even though he, no doubt, believes he does. It was with deep regret that I felt compelled to accept his resignation. For me, it's not just the end of a professional relationship but the end of a friendship as well."
I Am Charlotte Simmons
It is one of the unlovely features of this book, and of Mr. Wolfe's writing in general, that the men most likely to be humiliated in his fiction are Jewish. This seems to have less to do with outright anti-Semitism than with Mr. Wolfe's typical recourse to stereotypes of all kinds: just as his black characters are generally brutal and violent, and his women are generally manipulative sexpots, so his Jewish characters are usually weak, ambitious, resentful, and hypersensitive. That certainly describes the two most repellent characters in "Charlotte Simmons," the football-hating Professor Quat and Charlotte's suitor Adam Gellin. In both cases, Mr. Wolfe leaves no doubt of the relationship between their Jewishness and their moral flaws (and even their physical ones - Adam is a skinny weakling, Quat is fat and womanish). Indeed, he goes out of his way to tell us that both of them harbor an unbecoming admiration of Israel and a suspicious hostility to Christians.
King Smut
Northeast Native Paul Fishbein brought order to the chaotic underworld of porn and became a millionaire by treating sex on videotape like any other business. If the line between his home and office is blurring, well, maybe that isn't such a bad thing.
Inside an anonymous one-story warehouse, Paul Fishbein wanders into a dim, musty cave of a room. It's connected to a smaller antechamber with a canopied bed made up to look like a low-rent honeymoon suite. There is no hint of the sunny Friday afternoon just beyond the walls. This is the San Fernando Valley, the heartland of the multibillion-dollar pornography business, of which this town, Chatsworth, is the unofficial capital, and in which Fishbein is the most influential figure -- the man who gave shape to a business founded upon subterranean chaos, and in so doing, showed porn the way to the mainstream, where its stars are now seen in music videos and profiled in Hollywood journals like Premiere, and where its annual profits are estimated by the New York Times to surpass those of pro baseball, basketball and football combined. Looking a decade younger than his 45 years, uniformed in jeans, sneaks, and a powder-blue tee with a shark logo on the chest, Fishbein is the architect of porn's success, the Frank Lloyd Wright of filth. Director Larry Paciotti, better known as transvestite Chi Chi LaRue, gives Fishbein a warm hello, then turns to the monitor in front of him. "Let me see hardcore!" he shouts. "Action!" ...
Overall, the article paints Paul in a positive light. There are six factual errors. Paul must've received many congratulatory calls from family, friends and relatives in Philadelphia. While Adult Video News has been written about many times in the mainstream media, I believe this is the first Paul Fishbein profile. There's no mention of the article on AVN.com.
Whatever Happened To Annabel Chong?
Where's Annabel? Annabel is dead, and is now replaced full time by her Evil Doppelganger, who is incredibly bored with the entire concept of Annabel, and would prefer to do something different for a change. From her shallow grave, Annabel would like to thank her fans for all their love and support all these years, and to let them know that she will never forget them.
In that case, what is this Evil Doppelganger up to nowadays? The ED is a diabolical yuppie who is working as a web developer and consultant. She specializes in ASP and .NET with C#, Database Development and also does web design. While the divine Ms Chong was busy doing her Annabel thang, the ED was surreptitiously going to computer boot camp to pick up some skills, so that she can permanently kill off Annabel Chong and begin her new life of peace and relative obscurity. Now she is making a pretty decent living being a horrible geek and all that, proving that there are second chapters in American life, to hell with F Scott Fitzgerald.
Porn dealer scoffs at feds Faces trial for selling ultra-violent films
By Torsten Ove, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Tuesday, November 02, 2004Indicted California pornographer Robert D. Zicari had a message for everyone yesterday after a federal court hearing to determine if he committed a crime by selling films showing women being raped and murdered.
"Order 'The Federal Five!'" he said, referring to the five hard-core porn movies on which federal prosecutors in Pittsburgh have built the first major U.S. obscenity case in a decade.
"We're not talking about bestiality and child pornography," said Zicari, 31, who owns Extreme Associates with his wife, Janet Romano, 27. "We're talking about consenting adults."
In a case being watched nationwide, Extreme Associates defended itself for the first time in court, asking U.S. District Judge Gary Lancaster to throw out an indictment for distribution of obscene materials brought last year by U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan.
Travis In Pain
I call my porn friend Travis.
Weak voice answers hello.
What's going on?
"My nuts hurt. I've got epididymitis. My nuts hurt."
I check with an online medical source: "The infective agents most likely to cause epididymitis are the bacteria which commonly cause other urinary infections."
Travis: "Your balls get really inflamed."
From too much sex?
"It could be."
Who have you been banging?
"Who haven't I been banging?"
You poor man.
"I've got to stay away from the young girls. They're going to kill me."
Are you icing it?
"I did that. It didn't help much. It just made my dick cold."
So what are you going to do?
"I'm just lying flat on my back in pain."
How much sex have you had in the last week?
"It's not so much how much. It's the quality of sex."
Is this like an STD?
"No. It's like a torn muscle.
"This happened to me at the Bunny Ranch.
"Don't write about this. It gets spidered on every search engine. I tell people to Google... My mom comes back. She's horrified."
Have you seen a doctor?
"Yeah. He put me on antibiotics."
Hah! You don't prescribe antibiotics for a pulled muscle. You prescribe them for an infection. Travis got the clap!
"My brother and dad had it too. It's hereditary.
"My brother had it on my birthday. We were on our way to Santa Barbara to see our buddy Eek-A-Mouse. My brother looked green. I said, what's the matter? He said nothing.
"Do your balls hurt? He had this look on his face."
Phil writes: "You post a conversation with your pal that references someone you refer to as "Eco Mouse." Uh, don't you mean Eek-A-Mouse? I don't follow reggae music, but even I've heard of the guy. But, then, maybe it's somebody else to whom Travis refers. However, if it's not, maybe you should expand your musical horizons beyond Air Supply, Andy Gibb, the Doodletown Pipers or whatever other faggy stuff that entrances you so. Just a friendly suggestion."
Berating Tera Patrick For Accusing Barrett Blade Of Rape On Set Of Island Fever 3
Smelly Monkey writes on XXXPornTalk.com:
There isn't a doubt in my mind that tera's lying. Look, don't get me wrong i hate barrett blade as much as the next guy, but this is total bull--it and flat out wrong. its one thing to stab someone behind their back (gen anyone), but to accuse them of some serious s-it like this is another. I'm not going to go as low to saying is it even possible to rape a porn star isn't it just negotiating, im not going to say that, but what barrett would risk doing this in a field when he gets all the sex he wants doesn't add up to me, he f--ks A grade porn stars ALL the time, why risk getting not only getting blackballed, but serving hard time where he can find out what inmates do with their barrett blades first hand. Its a dirty thing to do on tera's part and its obvious why she is doing it...
I just checked the movie she was talking about and she f--ked him in the movie. It would be interesting to hear if when she claims he raped her, before or after the scene, jesse jane is in the movie and i just saw a clear still and her feet are awful, really off putting, she has to keep those puppies on a leash, her big toe is huge, first thing that came to mind was the scene in boomerang with eddie murphy when he pulls the sheets back on the girl he just banged and her feet were all jacked up, i believe he used the term hammer time, so i will steal it and use it here, jesse jane has hammer time.
Federal Court Grants Homegrown Video Injunctive Relief Against Voice Media/Trade News
Homegrown sends out this:
Judge Consuelo Marshall of the United States District Court for the Central District of California today stated that she would issue an injunction against Voice Media Inc., Ron Levi, Trade News, and Internet Business Services, prohibiting those defendants from using the federal trademark "Homegrown Video" in connection with the www.homegrownvideo.com Site. Xplor Media Group, Inc. owns the trademark.
Previously, New Destiny Internet Group, LLC received injunctive relief in a companion arbitration matter pending before Judge Richard C. Neal (Ret.) enjoining the defendants from using the copyrighted online Tour page for the Site. The ruling today is part of the ongoing litigation.
Moffitt T., CEO of Xplor, said, "Obviously, we are thrilled with Judge Marshall's ruling. We have been diligently exposing the wrongdoing by Ron Levi and Trade News. Both Judge Neal in the arbitration and now Judge Marshall in federal court have ruled against Ron Levi and Trade News. Xplor Media will aggressively prosecute those who infringe on its trademark and regarding the present case against Ron Levi and Trade News, we look forward to trial in federal court on trademark infringement and unfair competition to establish our monetary damages."
Xplor's attorney, David S. Olson of Kulik, Gottesman, Mouton & Siegel in Sherman Oaks, California, stated "We have now had two highly respected Judges conclude that New Destiny and Xplor have established a reasonable probability of success on the merits sufficient to award far-reaching injunctive relief. This bodes extremely well for the ultimate outcome of the case. Every argument the defendants have asserted has been rejected. We will now focus our efforts on discovery and look forward to presenting New Destiny's case to Judge Neal in April, and thereafter to putting on Xplor's case in federal court."
I called Ira Rothken, who represents Trade News and Voice Media. "Is this anything new?"
Ira: "It's absolutely nothing new. It's just a desire by the Homegrown people to keep kicking new things into the news that are not really news. Months ago, we stipulated, at the request of Homegrown, to not advertise Homegrown as part of an affiliate program. Many months ago, those links were removed. We still believe that when we have a trial on the merits that the defendants, Trade News, Voice Media et al, are going to prevail. There's no news here."
We shouldn't expect anything substantive on this case for months down the road?
Ira: "I wouldn't think so. We are supposed to have our hearing, our arbitration AKA so-called trial, in April of 2005. So far there have been no witnesses, no depositions, no cross-examinations, no discovery. All that is going on right now is agreements between the parties to maintain the status quo. Then the courts come in and embrace those agreements, sometimes calling them nasty names like 'preliminary injunctions' or 'interim relief.'
"It's surprising that they would write such a thing when we are all trying to cooperate while litigating the case."
New Destiny/Homegrown Video attorney David Olsen writes: "It is pure and myopic spin to argue that today's ruling is "nothing new" or represented some agreement of the parties. Defendants vigorously opposed this injunction just as they unsuccessfully vigorously opposed the New Destiny injunction issued by Judge Neal. They filed hundreds of pages of documents in opposition. In fact, Judge Marshall literally had to cut off opposing counsel after he argued on and on against the injunction. This was a ruling on the merits based on extensive evidence, declarations, and briefing submitted to the Court. The Court rejected every argument asserted by defendants as to why Trade News should be permitted to continue using the Homegrown Video trade mark."
Clash Of The Titans
Bill Margold's (Detroit Lions) and Jim South's (Dallas Cowboys) favorite football teams met in Dallas Sunday.
Bill was going over to Jim's home to watch the game but he lost Jim's address.
The Lions have never won a Super Bowl. Dallas has won five.
Dallas, my favorite football team, won 31-21.
After lunch Monday, I stopped by World Modeling. It was quiet. I may be reading into the situation, but I sense the office was happier after the Cowboys victory. The burden of three straight losses was gone.
I still have to pinch myself that I can walk into World Modeling these days and shake hands with Jim. I never thought I'd ever get back in there. Mucho thanks to Rob Spallone for pulling that off. And getting me talking to Bill Margold again.
Bill and the gang hang out in South's office Monday evening to watch Monday Night Football. Tonight's game is Miami vs New York Jets. The guys order out burgers. Bill says he can down three triple-layered burgers. Bill complains that Jim hardly eats anything.
I ask South's assistant Envy if she has any scoop for me. She smiles and says, "no." She always says no to me.
Papillon At The Make-Out Point
Never park your car at the top of Haven in the city of Alta Loma or you too will have an officer of the law ask you for your ID. You will have to wait around in your freezing car as he gets to sit in his heated car a good 20 minutes while he runs you through the system before he will send you on your way...lol. I learned this the hard way when I went on a date last night and we drove up there to look at the city lights... I swear. all we did was talk...lol. We were up there for about an hour before the police car pulled up and in that time we saw several cars drive up and park... we got to see more than the city lights... we saw all sorts of illicit behavior going on...lol... that was some of the best free shows that I have seen in a very long time...lol. Anyways, as the officer was letting us go, we asked him if there was a place that we could park to see the lights down below and he was kind enough to direct us a couple streets west. We set off and went to the top of Archibald and we sat there for another hour and ummm talked some more...lol... ok we kissed a little :) The funniest thing happened after that... another police cruiser pulled up the street and parked behind a car just up the street from us... that car was there for a while so I am just speculating that they were up to no good because that car sped away pretty fast when the officer let them go...lol. A couple minutes later the cruiser pulled up along side us and the officer said "no parking", my date in turn said that another officer told us to come up here... she looked at the two of us and said " Oh, you're just talking" and he said "yes"... she said "ok then" and drove away. I guess no parking means, NO making out among other things...lol. So, I guess all that I am trying to say is, be careful when you decide to park and go parking...lol...
Papillon Cracked Out Of Her Skull?
Seriously does anyone make their issues more public and obvious then this chick? It just brings everyone else down, I still have her crying and nervously laughing on springer a few years back burnt into my brain, now i have the use of the nervous LOL's playing on my mind. Read for yourselves, people like this shouldn't have kids, its cruel, like beating a dog or pretending to like swami.
My father tonight was telling my sister at dinner about how Kay Parker was his favorite porn star back in the day. I made a face. Dad said, what's that face for? I said, why are you telling your daughter about who you used to beat off to? I then got yelled at for being gross. Yeah, that makes sense... then my dad, sister and friend Maria were talking sex toys in my bed room as Maria explained to dad what some of them do and how they work and etc... how can anyone question my need for narcotics? How dare you.
Hustler Fires Features Editor Mark Cromer
LFP sources allege a sexual impropriety. Behavior unbecoming a pornographer.
Suffering the Pornographers
Two young pastors from California started an online ministry, XXXChurch.com, to battle what they see as a scourge on modern society: Internet pornography.
Neither draws a salary from XXXChurch.com. Mr. Foster is also the communications pastor at Crossroads Christian Church, a nondenominational church in Corona, Calif. Mr. Gross speaks to Christian youth groups around the country as a founding partner in Fireproof Ministries, a nondenominational youth ministry.
Their unorthodox calling is the subject of "Missionary Positions," a documentary film made by Bill Day, a secular filmmaker. The documentary is rated R and includes profanity and suggestions of nudity.
In the movie Mr. DiGiorgio is seen filming a sexual act that he says he finds repugnant. But of his collaboration with Mr. Gross and Mr. Foster, he said: "I didn't do it for any kind of Christian value. I respect their faith, and so far they've respected my lack of it. I'm the first guy to admit that I'm sometimes conflicted about what I do. I've expressed that to them. But have they tried to minister to me? No, not really."
My earlier report on the XXXChurch.
Sarah Michelle Gellar Plays Porn Star
Lordish writes on ADT: "In this month's Entertainment Weekly, I've just read that Buffy the Vampire Slayer's and The Grudge's star Sarah Michelle Gellar is to play a drug addled Porn Star in an independent movie entitled, Southland Tales."
Hustler boss eyes 10 UK sex shops
US pornography magnate Larry Flynt says he wants to open 10 sex shops across the UK over the next few years. Mr Flynt was speaking as he launched his first British outlet in Birmingham city centre. The Hustler Hollywood stop is located on Birmingham High Street, next door to Boots and opposite Marks & Spencer. Mr Flynt claims it is the largest sex product outlet in the UK, and urged the UK public not to prejudge his stores without trying them first.
Porn Industry Fears Bush Victory on Tuesday
By James L. Lambert
While it may not a clear endorsement of John Kerry, elements of the porn industry are voicing their concern over the possibility of another four years with George Bush in the Oval Office.
It has been become painfully clear to adult industry publisher Dave Manack that if George W. Bush is re-elected next Tuesday, it would not be good for the pornography industry across America. "It's not to say our industry loves John Kerry or anything like that," the publisher of E.D. Publications told the Chicago Sun-Times, "but George Bush, if he's re-elected, it would be very damaging to our industry."
Adult Video News, the adult industry's trade magazine -- which has labeled Attorney General John Ashcroft as "the American Taliban" -- also has come out forcefully against President Bush. In an op-ed piece earlier this year, AVN told its readers "that President Bush is a fundamentalist Christian, arguably as radical in his beliefs as al Qaida is in theirs, and as such has a seriously unhealthy view of human sexuality."
The President vs The Pornographer
Rock writes:
For UK readers - see this programme at 9pm Monday and 1115pm Wednesday, BBC3: "The Porn King versus the President If George W Bush wins the upcoming US election, hardcore pornographer Rob Black could go to prison for 50 years - the subject of the first federal obscenity indictment for a decade. America's Attorney General is gearing up for a war on pornography and the result of Rob Black's test case is crucial. Interviews with Black, and some of harshest critics, explore the issues."
Red replies:
The changing of a Presidential administration will have no effect on an ongoing prosecution. In the event of a (God forbid) Kerry victory, the first item on his agenda on January 20th will NOT be releasing Rob Black. As a matter of fact, he will never even hear the name, because as important it may be to you and I, it's of absolutely no relevence to anyone in a position of power. He's a pornographer and wrestling weirdo. And the chips will all where they fall. Probably not 50 years, tho. I'm not totally skookum on the case, but I'm assuming he's a first time offender (as far as being prosecuted goes) and a worst case scenario is a short prison time and large fine, followed by a long supervised probation. More than likely he'll get the stiff fine with no jail time. Of course, it's also likely he'll be acquitted. It's all a crap shoot.
It's like the people on my side of the aisle saying that if Kerry is elected Saddam Hussein will be released and put back into power. It makes for fun mental masturbation and wonderful demogaugery but has little basis in reality.
Violet Blue Update
I call Violet Oct 29, 2004. She's waking up from a nap.
Remember me? I did the ultimate Violet Blue interview with you for www.setgo.com.
Violet: "Oh, that interview. I got into so much trouble over that. People just can't read sarcasm. The whole second half of the interview I was just f---ing with you and nobody could understand that."
I thought it was great.
"It was awesome."
People got so upset.
"Especially people up in Berkeley.
"The Black Broom is having a grand opening party tonight. Me and a bunch of other girls are going to be dancing there. It's at 5050 Vineland in Horth Hollywood. It sells Wiccan stuff. Chalices, oils, cauldrons.
"I just got back from doing a movie for Heidi Fleiss.
"I went to Burning Man. I've been four times."
I chat by phone May 14, 2003 with 26-year old porn star Violet Blue.
Luke: How did you get into this industry?
Violet: By way of an agent named Roy Garcia. He met me while I was dancing
at a club in Salt Lake City, Utah. He asked me if I wanted to do some
magazine shoots. I said yes. We came out here in April 2000. I didn't
get any magazine shoots because I was pale and had short black hair. He
wouldn't put me into any gothic stuff. He wanted me to run out of money
so that I would do porn.
Violet giggles.
Violet: I ran out of money after three weeks so I started doing porn and
I realized that I liked it. It's easy money.
Luke: What do you hate about the business?
Violet: I hate when new people come into the business and don't get tested
for gonorrhea and chlamydia. I hate people writing me emails asking me
to escort with them. I feel there's a big strong line between prostitution
and porn.
Luke: How long did you stay with Roy Garcia and why did you move on?
Violet: For about a year. He wasn't getting me any work so I just started
getting my own work. Then we had a big fight and we made up. If he gets
me work, I pay him for it. He hasn't gotten me a job in eight months.
[Black agent] DK got me more work. I guess DK has quite a past...
People listen to me more with brown hair. [Violet's been a brunette since
October 2002.] When I was blonde, I'd be talking to somebody and they
wouldn't hear me. The first day I was a brunette, I went to work and one
of the lighting guys said, 'Yo, I actually heard what you said. You're
actually a smart girl. I thought you were stupid because you were blonde.'
I prefer being a brunette. I don't get nearly as much attention on the
street but it's a lot nicer to have people listen to you as opposed to
look at you. I like to do movies that have a lot of acting in them. I
like to do anything strange.
Luke: Do you wear a pentagram around your neck?
Violet: Yes.
Luke: And what does that symbolize?
Violet: Protection. It symbolizes that I am a free person and I can do
whatever I put my mind to.
Luke: But isn't it considered a Satanic symbol?
Violet: No. Anton LeVay adopted the upside down one. He started the Church
of Satan. The Pentagram has existed since ancient Egypt.
Luke: Now, you're married and you also have a boyfriend?
Violet: Yes. I've been married for four years. I have a little boy who
is three-and-a-half years old. I also have a boyfriend for [a year or
so] who's my webmaster.
Luke: Does your boyfriend know about your husband and vice versa?
Violet: Yeah, they hang out together. They're friends.
Luke: That's not weird?
Violet: Not at all. I don't have sex with my husband. I haven't had sex
with him in eight months. We love each other and we care about each other
but we're basically best friends. We're a partnership. We're raising our
son together. We live together. We share a bed. I stay with my boyfriend
every other night. My boyfriend and I have an open relationship. So long
as I let him know about it, I can have sex with anyone I want. I like
everything to be really open. Communication is key.
Luke: Does your husband ever bring other women home?
Violet: He has. There was one girl he was seeing for quite a while. But
she was crazy, so they broke up. I tried to tell him but he wouldn't listen
to me. He was blinded by the fact that she was gorgeous.
Luke: It says on your website that you are into studying religion?
Violet: I started studying religion when I was six years old. Then I really
got into alternative religions when I was 14. I got into witchcraft and
Wiccan when I was 16. I was initiated into a coven when I was 19. I was
initiated into my second coven when I was 21. I've been a member of the
OTO (Order of the Temple Orientis) since I was 21.
Luke: I went to the OTO website and found this:
"Ordo Templi Orientis is the first of the great Old Ĉon orders to accept
The Book of the Law, received by Aleister Crowley in 1904 EV. This book
proclaims a New Ĉon in human thought, culture and religion. The Ĉon arises
from a single supreme injunction: the Law of Thelema, which is Do what
thou wilt."
"This Law is not to be interpreted as a license to indulge every passing
whim, but rather as the mandate to discover one's True Will and accomplish
it; leaving others to do the same in their own unique ways. "Every man
and every woman is a star." The Law of Thelema can ultimately be fulfilled
only through the individual efforts of each person. Nevertheless, many
worthy aspirants to the Great Work of Thelema have a genuine need for
information, guidance, fellowship, or the opportunity to assist their
fellow aspirants and serve humanity. Such aspirants will find welcome
in OTO."
"OTO was originally affiliated with European Masonry but is no longer
a Masonic organization, though it shares some terminology and traditions
with Masonry. The complex but intriguing history of OTO may be of interest
for the light it sheds on the origins of our current organization and
goals."
Violet: We perform Gnostic masses the way they were meant to be performed
before the Roman Catholics changed it.
Luke: Do these organizations have anything to say about the adult industry?
Violet: Not really. Their whole motto is - "Do what thou wilt shall be
the whole of the Law."
Luke: Are a lot of other people in the adult industry in these organizations?
Violet: No. I know that Jewel DeNyle is a witch, a strega, Italian witchcraft.
Luke: Does OTO have anything to say about abortion?
Violet: Do what thou wilt. As long as you are listening to your true self,
and not your ego self, then whatever you do is God's will because every
man and woman is God.
Luke: Have you encountered anyone who's freaked out that you are into these
things?
Violet: Not really. I believe in God. I don't really believe that Jesus
was the Son of God. As soon as people study [devil worship, witchcraft]
they realize that it is harmless and a comforting way to live.
Luke: Have you encountered many people who are freaked out you are a porn
star?
Violet: Oh yeah. Family and friends from childhood. My Dad doesn't quite
understand. He's 87-years old. He doesn't know anything about the porn
industry. He knows that I do adult movies. My Mom is cool with it. She's
58. My brother Chris is cool with it. Nobody approves because they were
all raised Baptist Christian and it is set in stone that you are not supposed
to sell your body. My brother Kenny thinks that I am just a slut. He's
the only one who spent two years in prison so I can't be any worse than
him.
Luke: Was there anything in childhood that predisposed you to working in
this industry?
Violet: The drive to make money and be successful.
Luke: How old were you when you lost your virginity?
Violet: Thirteen.
Luke: That's a bit young.
Violet: Not for my area. Around my school, everyone lost their virginity
when they were eleven and twelve. I was one of the latest ones.
Luke: You won Best New Starlet from AVN in 2002. What did that mean to
you?
Violet: That I was finally recognized as a porn star.
Luke: It says on your website that it was one of the happiest moments of
your life.
Violet: I don't think I wrote that. My webmaster writes stuff. He takes
liberties. I was happy. It was the first award I'd ever won aside from
cheerleading, and Miss Congeniality in high school and Miss Composure.
I was wearing this huge red ball gown and I was walking with my father
up a flight of stairs. My Dad fell and I managed lift my Dad up and walk
the rest of the stairs and remain composed.
Luke: So you haven't had any bad experiences with agents?
Violet: No, I've been lucky. Belladonna had to climb out the window once
at Roy's house.
Luke: Do you ever regret getting into this industry?
Violet: I regret not starting medical school when I was younger. I should've
taken harder classes high school so I wouldn't have had to waste time
getting other classes taken care of so I could go to university. I wish
that I would've been able to stick with college. I didn't have the money.
I didn't get any scholarships because I only had a 3.71 GPA. I didn't
do very well because I was a stoner. I started smoking pot at age 15 and
I quit when I left college. I eat it every now and again. It cured my
glaucoma.
Luke: How long do you plan to stay around this industry?
Violet: Another year or so... It depends on if I get a contract.
Luke: Do you have tattoos?
Violet says she has four.
Luke: Did you breastfeed your son?
Violet: Yes.
Luke: Did it do anything to your breasts?
Violet: No. They still look the same as they did before I got pregnant.
My stomach muscles aren't as strong as they used to be. I had some stretchmarks
on my boobs and bum but they're gone. I'm 5'3" and I weigh 110.
Violet doesn't like to rise before noon.
Luke: Are most of the people you like to socialize with within the industry?
Violet: No. My only friends within the industry are Julie Knight and Monica
Mayhem. I don't hang out with girls often. For eight months, I dated Steve
Taylor, male porn star. He got out last year. I mainly hang out with my
husband and OTO members.
Luke: When you deal with civilians, what do you say you do for a living?
Violet: Model, actress.
Luke: When they press you?
Violet puts on an excited voice: Adult actress? Oh my... Can you get me
videos?' I just want to pat them on the head.
Luke: You don't feel like you've paid a huge price for entering this industry?
Violet: Not at all. All my peers from school are really cool with it.
They think it is neat that I am an award-winning porn star. A lot of the
older people around my home town don't know, but a lot that do, don't
approve. They think that I am stupid icky dirty slut. I'm going to have
to deal with that when I move back home, because my Mom gave me a house.
When I move back to Washington, I'm going to have to deal with being shunned.
But all you have to do to start being accepted in that community is to
start going to church, which I don't mind doing.
Luke: What are your favorite Christian hymns?
Violet: I don't know. I haven't sung a hymn since I was six.
Luke: How have you changed from your time in the industry?
Violet: I've gotten more apprehensive about meeting new people. I'm also
a bit more shallow. I don't have as much patience with things as I used
to. Whenever I want something, I get it. It's made me more business oriented.
The industry relies on using people. A lot of the people you meet in the
porn industry, they pretend to be your friend. And they're nice to you.
But you know that deep down inside, they don't give a crap.
Luke: Is it going to be hard for you to grow old?
Violet: No. My beauty is all inside. My face is just a bonus. If I'm not
happy with myself as I age, I'll get plastic surgery.
Violet plans to have another kid in a year with her present husband.
Luke: You'll have to have sex.
Violet: We have sex about once a year. I don't really like having sex
with him but he is my husband. I do love him. I will have sex with him
if I want a child.
Luke: Is he going to be reading this interview?
Violet: I don't care if he does or not. He knows I don't like having sex
with him. He doesn't much like having sex with me either. He likes eating
my pussy though.
Before I had my kid, I could enjoy sex with my husband. But after I had
my kid, I couldn't. I was just too big. Flapping in the wind.
Luke: I've experienced that. I can't stir the drink with my straw.
Luke: What books are you reading?
Violet: Magick by Aleister Crowley, Fahrenheit 451, Genesis, and Time
out of Joint by Phillip K. Dick, and Heavier Than Heaven, the Kurt Cobain
biography.
Luke: Who are your heroes?
Violet: I don't think I really have any.
Luke: Do you cast magical spells on people?
Violet: I have done two. I was casting a love spell on a guy and my roommate
ended up walking in while I was doing this, so he fell in love with her.
They're still together six years later.
Luke: Did you kill anybody?
Violet: No. I don't need to cast spells. All my spells were done out of
necessity - cleansing spells on myself... I can just think of something
I want to happen and it will happen.
In my religion, I don't need to sacrifice living things to my god. Of
course in Christianity, they are supposed to sacrifice living things to
Yahweh, which is scary. He's a resentful mofu. He's the first one. He's
the Old Testament god. The New Testament god is very happy and pleasant.
Jesus was loving and caring and great. The one before that, he was a terror.
He was always blowing up stuff, making mountains erupt and killing a bunch
of people.
Luke: What about the New Testament god demanding human sacrifice of his
son?
Violet: Well, he's not really the New Testament god. He's the Old Testament
god.
Luke: Who demands sacrifice of his son?
Violet: Yeah. Whenever they did sacrifice Jesus, it was because he needed
to die. He told Judas to tell them to come get him.
Luke: Do you believe Jesus is God?
Violet: No.
Luke: Do you believe that if you believe in him, you will have eternal
life?
Violet: No. I think Jesus was an amazing prophet and that it is really
sad that the Jews killed him, because he could've been a great leader.
Luke: Do you think the Jews have suffered for two thousand years for doing
that?
Violet: Yes.
Yes, I definitely think that. I mean, look at the history. I definitely
think that. They were really stupid to have done that because he could've
really led them to victory. And they hung him up on a cross next to thieves
and murderers.
She laughs.
Luke: So how did they go from killing Jesus to running the pornography
industry?
Violet: Do Jewish people run the pornography industry?
Luke: Yeah. Steve Hirsch, Paul Fishbein, Ed Powers. Ron Jeremy.
Violet: They're not really Jewish.
Luke: They're not practicing Orthodox Jews.
Violet: Exactly. That means that they are not Jewish.
Luke: They're ethnically Jewish but not...
Violet: There's no such thing as ethnically Jewish. Either you are Jewish
or you are not. It's a religion not anything to do with ethnicity.
Luke: Were there any Jews where you grew up?
Violet: I never met any.
Luke: Until you entered the porn industry.
Violet: No. I don't know that many Jews. I don't know anybody who practices
Judaism. I've met a few people who do practice but half the time I know
more about the damn religion than they do, especially about the Jewish
mysticism, the Kaballah. I don't consider them true practicing Jews unless
they're like a rabbi and of course I've never even talked to a rabbi.
They'd never talk to me.
Luke: Why?
Violet: Because I'm not Jewish.
They're not likely to knock on your door and ask you... They like to keep
their religious thing closed. They're a very closed society. They're a
lot like witches.
Luke: I've got a list here of all the Jews in the porn industry.
Violet: But are they practicing Jews?
Luke: None of them are.
Violet: Then they are not Jewish.
DUC reads off a list of names, including Ron Jeremy.
Violet: Ron Jeremy doesn't look Jewish. Not without that little thing
on top of his head. Ed Powers looks Jewish. Paul Fishbein doesn't look
Jewish.
If you look at the number of people who were Mormon before they got into
the industry, there's a lot. Like Belladonna.
Luke: There are quite a few from religious backgrounds...
Violet: Breaking out of the structure of religion, out of their moral
selves.
Luke: All the Jews in the industry are not religious.
Violet: I know. They couldn't be. If they actually believed in Judaism,
they wouldn't be doing porn. That's for certain.
Luke: If someone was doing Judaism, could they write about the porn industry?
Violet: Sure, they could write about it, as long as they are not participating
in it.
Luke: Did you gain any benefit from studying the mystical side of Judaism?
Violet: Of course. I learned how the universe worked.
Yahweh has been dead for over a thousand years. He just disappeared. Haven't
you noticed? There haven't been any hands of God coming out of the sky
destroying entire cities because they have sex? That hasn't happened in
over a thousand years because He's gone. He probably got kicked out by
some other gods.
Luke: If He showed up again, would you be surprised?
Violet: Yeah.
Luke: Would you change your life?
Violet: No, I would strike to kill him. He's a bad bad god. He's horrible.
Luke: What did you think about the war to free Iraq?
Violet: I think it was kinda silly but I think we should just kill the
entire Middle East. That way we wouldn't have terrorism any more.
Luke: Are you bothered that California is being overrun by illegal immigration?
Violet: Yeah, I think they should all go back to where they belong or
learn how to speak English. Did you know that there's no word for 'maintenance'
in the Mexican language? I know a lot of nice Mexicans but there are a
lot of Mexican scum who tend to live off the government and have a bunch
of babies. I don't think we should be that open to immigration from Mexico.
Luke: Do you think we need more Muslim immigrants.
Violet: No, they keep buying up all the 7-11s. I think all immigrants
should learn how to speak English. If they speak English, I'm happy. I
hate when I drive through the Valley and I can't read any of the billboards
because they are in Spanish. That's why I am going to go back up to Washington
where all there are a few American Indians and Koreans. Everybody is white.
It's a wonderful wonderful thing. It's clean. There aren't a lot of icky
people. If you look at it, most bums are either black or white. I'm surprised
there are not more Mexican bums.
Luke: I think we've gone places in this interview I've never taken any
porn star before.
Violet: I feel special.
