AVN is expecting 3500 webmasters at $250 a pop in Miami
Kimmy Kim
writes on JBM:
Sponsors are not paying for internet access anymore, they are wireless-ing
the entire hotel. They are also serving food on their dime, some kind
of breakfast/lunch thing. When you figure up the cost of not paying
15 bucks a day for internet access and 20 bucks a head for lunch, it
starts to make a bit more sense.
I told JoAnne Cadwell [of CCBill] that I thought they should start
charging for the Phoenix Forum. There's nothing more unproductive than
having friends of webmasters and friends of friends of webmasters taking
up space when it could be real business people walking around. That
is my only negative comment about Phoenix, and that's because I liked
it better with fewer people.
Why Are People Moving Away From NATS?

they take on too many clients? Did they make promises that they could

The Phoenix Forum - 'Best Show Ever'
Rick
Latona of Dollars.com writes on GFY: "I agree that it was the
best show ever. I used to always think that the small shows were best
because they were more intimate and it was easier to talk business but
this past week has proven me wrong. CC Bill showed us that you can have
a large show in an intimate setting. No stone was unturned. The attention
to detail was amazing."
Red
Light District Sues Over Counterfeit Hilton Tape
CHATSWORTH, Calif. - Red Light District filed legal papers Monday against

Rick Solomon.
Epoch Suit Over MC Web Chargebacks Dismissed
American
Banker Tuesday, April 5, 2005
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit in which an Internet payment
processor assailed the fees that MasterCard International charges when
Internet customers refuse to pay.
The plaintiff is Paycom Billing Services Inc., many of whose customers
sell pornographic material through the Internet.
The decision was a victory for MasterCard against the New York lawyer
Lloyd Constantine, whose Constantine & Partners was also the lead plaintiff's
attorney in the landmark Wal-Mart Stores Inc. suit against MasterCard
and Visa U.S.A.
But Paycom's attorney in the current case, Jeffrey I. Shinder of the
Constantine firm, said the company may appeal. It had asked for $23
million in damages.

First scene of the day was Gigi, 20, and Trevor Zen (Lezley's husband).
But I missed it. I got lost (I ignored Dr. X's directions and just tried
to feel my way with the Thomas Guide) and drove up a steep dirt road,
with two-to-three foot gullies, until my car stalled out and tires spun.
I ended up backing down the road, fearful I would tip over the side of
the hill.
The shooting house was across the fence and down the hill. An hour late,
I eventually found my way to the Woodland Hills house where I'd been twice
in 1999.
Walking up the hill to the set, I'm passed by blonde Nicki Hunter driving
out. She worked the second scene of the day with John West.
Daisy Fuentez was supposed
to work with Gigi in scene three but Daisy doesn't show. She doesn't answer
calls.
I hear Lee Stone (or is it Evan Stone who dates Syren) is the highest
paid male talent. He'll make up to $700 per scene. He always shows up
early and does a good job.
Lee Stone lives with retired porn star Aria.
A ballerina, Gigi likes the Elton John song Tiny
Dancer.
I've met Gigi three times and every time she's been perky.
Saturday was her two-week anniversary in porn. After today, she'll have
done 19 scenes.
Duke: "It hasn't taken the smile off your face."
Gigi: "Never. I wake up every bit as happy as I go to bed. We have
proof of this. We had 'Life in a day of Gigi today.' I woke up at 6:30am,
had my shower. The camera followed me everywhere. I'm just a smiley happy
person."
The director Rick Davis is hobbling around on a broken ankle.
Duke: "Should you be walking on that?"
Gigi: "No. Does he care? No."
She's registered with Naughty
Talent.
Duke: "How long until you get jaded?"
Gigi: "Never.
"Most of the people I've met in the industry have been so sweet.
When they find out you're new, they help you out. My first scene was a
boy-boy-girl. They took me in and worked me over. After that, I got a
feel for what I could do."
Duke: "What have you found most challenging?"
Gigi: "The long days. I'm not a napper."
Duke: "Don't you get sore?"
Gigi: "My cookie gets sore. I think I've found the solution. I don't
use lube. Just a lot of spit. I think I'm allergic to lube."
Duke: "What does it take for you to have an orgasm?"
Gigi: "Clitoral stimulation. Not penetration. Just vibration on
the clit."
Duke: "Anything surprise you?"
Gigi: "Penis sizes. I get nervous. I'm a very little girl. Sometimes
I get scared that it's not going to get in, but I haven't had that problem
yet. When they're bigger, they're usually nicer.
"It's not so much that they will hit a wall. It's my diameter. I
have to really breathe to open it. If it's big, we'll have to work out
before the scene."
Duke: "How do you like kissing strangers?"
Gigi: "That's really hard for me. I think kissing is an intimate
thing. I try not to kiss on camera. Of course it happens and you deal
with it and you let it go. Kissing is more for my personal life. It's
a lot easier to kiss girls on camera. I like men more. Therefore it has
more meaning."
Gigi is a non-exclusive contract girl with Cherry Boxxx.
Duke: "What things have surprised you about the industry?"
Gigi: "How easy it is. I'd never been around the industry before.
I thought it was going to be a lot different. I thought it was going to
be gross. I thought women weren't going to be respected. It's not like
that. It's just the opposite of what everyone thinks. You find these people
who talk bad about the industry and you can tell they've never been around
the industry. It's nothing like what they think it is. It is so open.
You can talk to people a lot easier. You can be yourself. You don't have
to hide anything. It's a lot easier and safer than people think it is."
Duke: "How has your time in the industry changed you?"
Gigi: "I've opened up. I used to be shy about my sexual life. Now
I go home and talk about scenes and people [with her manager Tim]. Other
than, I don't ever plan to change. That's what I want to push out there
to the viewers -- I'm just me. I get that question a lot -- what's the
difference between Gigi and [her real name]? It's just me."
Gigi has two piercings -- one on her tongue and one on her bellybutton.
Joe writes: "I was ready to fly out to California and search for
Gigi. Until I saw the picture with her tongue pin (the one with her and
Alexis Redd). What is it that makes these girls put those things in their
mouths? Can't you spread a rumor that it was a tongue pin that gave Lea
De Mae cancer?"
Duke: "How would your best friend describe you?"
Gigi: "She'd say I'm loyal. I don't pass judgment on anyone. I love
everyone. I'm very friendly. I view what I want out of a friendship and
that's what I try to be for everyone else. I'm very honest. I have no
secrets."
Duke: "Where do you see yourself in five years?"
Gigi listed several porn ambitions. She wants to move behind the camera
and produce. "It's definitely an industry I want to be in forever."
If Gigi is not in porn in five years, she'd like to be teaching dance.
"I love children.
"I don't dwell on my past and I don't dwell on my future. I just
live life. Everybody's gotta die. Don't worry about it. Go have fun."
Duke: "What are you scared of?"
Gigi: "I'm pretty fearless."
Duke: "Spiders?"
Gigi screams: "You got me. I'm afraid of spiders and bugs."
Duke: "I think a woman's biggest fear is that she's not worthy of
love."
Gigi: "I've had that. I didn't think I was. Since I got in the industry
is when I changed my mind. I think I'm very worthy of love. I'm not ready
for it yet. But I've got a lot to give. I'm a kind person. I don't fight.
I'm a clean person. I love to cook and clean."
Duke: "What type of man do you find attractive?"
Gigi: "They have to know what they want. They have to be driven.
And funny."
Gigi is a passionate Christian. She has four tattoos and they all express
Christian messages. On her lower back she has a cross with a heart and
the words "Fearless - Until Fate Does No More." On her right
butt cheek, a cross with a bun growing through it for unity, red for the
blood that Jesus spilled, and the Chinese characters for faith, love and
destiny. I have an angel on my front hip. I used to have red hair, so
it is me as an angel, as my guardian angel. On my back shoulder, I have
a cherub, which stands for my father, who is deceased. He sits on my shoulder
and guides me through life. It says, 'Rest in peace, daddy.' The cherub
has a butterfly in the palm of his hands because my dad has my life in
the palm of his hands and I believe that he won't let anything happen
to me."
Gigi was 17 when her father died. She got her tattoos at 18.
Justin, the cameraman, says: "I've got so many girls [coming on
set today], I'm not going to have time to be nice to them."
Justin, who's mother is Jewish and father Christian, challenges Gigi:
"If we're all God's children, what makes Jesus so special?"
Gigi: "He was an angel on earth."
Justin: "But we can be angels..."
Gigi: "I can give you answers for everything, and I don't get mad."
I ask Justin how long he's been in porn. He says 29 years, since he was
five.
He was born in England. His birth father died on the way to the hospital.
He was intoxicated and he crashed his car into a building two blocks away
from the hospital.
His mother appeared in Playboy in the late 1970s. His father is the general
manager of the Playboy Mansion in Bel Aire. When he was five, his mother
met his stepfather. At age five, Justin started making eggs and cutting
pumpkins and doing art for the Playboy Mansion. By age nine, he was a
Playboy employee. He had a work permit. He had a time card.
"I was reading the Velveteen Rabbit when I was six months old,"
says Justin. "My mother was an English teacher and a hippie. For
seven years I wasn't allowed to go to school. I already knew how to read
and do math. I sat there and was bored until sixth grade.
"My [step]dad is a fulltime student."
Duke: "What's your mother's name?"
Justin: "I'm not telling. That was my biggest problem in highschool.
I got suspended and expelled from school because kids would bring the
magazine to school and go, 'Hey Justin!' and flash [nude pictures of Justin's
mother]."
Justin would run off. He got busted for disturbing the class. "I've
never seen my mother naked and I never will. I'm trained to look away
now when I see a Playboy."
Justin is starting up a company to make softcore movies for Playboy.
Justin's dad hooked him up with the direction connection to Hefner. Justin
will call it "Bare Ass Productions."
Cherokee, the replacement for Daisy Fuentez, walks in and tells director
Rick Davis: "I'll be ready in five minutes." And she is.
Tim from Naughty
Talent stops by. He says that whenever he sees a cute girl at a fastfood
restaurant or clothing store, he gives her his card with this line: "You
make $8 an hour? I can make you $800 a day."
Tim's talent Jamie got her license at age 18. By 19, she'd had four speeding
tickets.
Tim got ones for doing 90mph in a 35mph zone and 105 in a 65.
Cherokee and Gigi do their scene in the spa on the roof. Whipcream and
fruit are brought into the mix.
Cherokee: "Ok toothpick girl. It's your job to eat the cream and
my job to eat the pussy."
It's the first time that Gigi has worked with someone shorter than her.
Cherokee is a mother figure to some industry newcomers.
When Gigi sees Alexis Redd, she jumps into the tall redhead's arms. Gigi
did Alexis's first girl-girl scene ten days ago.
I meet Thomas Hope's partner in Ecstasy Models -- William Laramie. William
and Thomas have been friends for twenty years and business partners for
two.
Dick Delaware swings by to do scene four. He's still bruised and sore
from his fight two weeks ago. His driver got lost five times trying to
find the set.
He's supposed to work with Alexis (initially it was Felecia Honey) but
she doesn't have an AIDS test. Therefore, she can't work.
Asian Leila Lay comes by to do scene five (with Justin Magnum). She arrives
about two hours early, as is her custom.
Gigi is scheduled to finish the day with Anthony Hardwood.
Porn Star Karaoke
March 29, 2005
I run into Scotty Schwartz. He remembers his 21st birthday lay of Lynn
LeMay. Buck Adams set it up. Scotty, a friend from New Jersey, Lynn, and
Tamara Lee went back to Scotty's father's apartment. Scotty says his dad
cock-blocked Ray Victory so Scotty's friend could score with Tamara.
Scotty and Lynn talked about getting married at an XRCO Awards. Scotty
says Lynn didn't return his calls (four) when he wanted to pursue that.
Scotty has worked in his dad's trophy business for the past five years.
Chico 'Wanker' Wang says he married a porn girl (Chanel Chavez) in Las
Vegas three weeks ago. Chico was drunk. Chico doesn't live with his bride.
"She owns half of my property, I guess. Right now I love the Hispanic
peoples because she's originally from Mexico."
Chico was in Las Vegas with Kat's mom. "We were having dinner. I
was feeling her up in front of her mom."
Kat giggles at the memory.
Chico: "I was drunk off my ass. I told her mom, 'I'm a lazy f---.
I want to have sex with your daughter. I want to have twins. That's enough
for me. And Kat was cool with it.'
Kat giggles.
Duke: "How did her mother react?"
Chico: "'Ahh, Chico. You're cool. Whatever.'"
Kat: "She didn't take it too seriously."
Chico tries to schedule a scene between Kat and I. No dice.
I hear Kelly Taylor and Dick Tracy broke-up.
Dan Silver had dinner with Larry Flynt two weeks ago. Larry wants to
compete with Red Light District and Anabolic, the kings of gonzo. Dan,
who made his name as an editor, has shot one video for LFP and should
be shooting a lot more.
'Click If Over 18'
Brandon
Shalton writes on GFY:
For those that attended the Legal Panel at Phoenix Forum, you heard
some discussions (almost heated) between myself and Gregg Piccionelli
(adult industry attorney) over the issues about "Click here if over
18". The panel was composed of three attorneys and two non-attorneys
(including myself who is definitely not a lawyer).
One of Gregg's points in the discussion was about not allowing minors
access to hardcore content.
On this point, I offered the following to the audience:
Children and adults could unwittingly view pornographic material by
clicking on link results when searching on non-adult keywords in a search
engine. It seems to be an unpopular approach by websites to put in a
redirect method, that sends the surfer to the front of the website where
there could be a webpage that has no graphic images, but a disclaimer
that there is adult content, and the "click here if over 18" language
found. I continued to say that keeping the images from immediately popping
in a person's face and redirecting to the front page could provide a
defense in court.
Gregg countered to say that having the "over 18" language would not
hold up in court, given the Extreme Associate's case where they were
able to prevail by showing to the court that a credit card was required
to view the videos (online and DVD) .
I read the Extreme Associates verdict at http://news.findlaw.com/hdocs/docs/...oc012005opn.pdf
and the court's opinion does show that having a credit card can protect
adult content or at least provide defense against on obscenity charge.
As we all know, 16 & 17 year old kids do have access to credit cards
via parents co-signing, and therefore kids could still be purchasing
adult content. But the point is that it would come down to the parents
to monitor what their children are purchasing with a credit card, so
therefore a defensive-able position for the online/offline adult business.
A child or adult could enter the keywords of Amanda Rain into a search
engine, because they were searching for an idea for a baby name, and
the #1 result is for the pornstar Amanda Rain, which when clicked, opens
up an adult related website. While some of the other search results
show softcore pictures, it's also possible that some could be displaying
hardcore ones.
In a recent phone call conversation with Gregg after the show, he agreed
with my point that blocking the side doors is a great way to keep these
images from unwittingly appearing before a child or adult.
His only concern was that if webmasters believe that having the "Click
if over 18" language was going to offer them a defensible position in
court, then they are not understanding the law and the recent developments
with the Extreme Associates case.
Gregg put things into historical context for me as he brought up the
issues that the Phone Sex industry faced in dealing with these exact
same issues of how to keep minors out. The common solution adopted by
the phone sex operators was to say the message to the effect of "press
1 if you are over 18". which is somewhat the equivalent to the internet
version of "click here if over 18".
Larry Walters created his Birthdate Verifier (http://www.birthdateverifier.com/)
system that goes one step further to someone just clicking that they
are over 18 after reading the disclaimer, but a person must enter their
birthdate and swear that they are over 18 by a "digital signature" of
an acknowledgement. It remains to be scene if this approach will work,
but anyone who implements his system would most likely be blocking the
side doors, therefore achieving the result of keeping the "bad stuff"
from being easily accessed, but may not necessarily be the "get of jail
card".
To my knowledge, here hasn't been a case yet about a non-member type
website (ie. Free sites, TGP, MGP, FHG, etc) that got busted for obscenity
that would have used the "click if over 18" defense. With the focus
on shutting down obscenity through the Extreme Associates case, it does
give some insight that pieces of the sky could be falling ontop of those
that do have hardcore images/videos that are easily accessible to minors.
From my perspective, being able to block the side doors can go a long
way to showing Congress that the adult online sector is concerned about
children or even adults unwittingly encountering adult material. Putting
in javascript redirects or using .htaccess to redirect could still allow
search engine spiders to index your site, but having the redirects in
place would ensure that adult content isn't placed easily in view. With
some simple programming, a surfer can be directed to the page that they
would normally have viewed, once they did go through the front door.
In the future, should there be some kind of national "adult ID" that
could possibly be used to validate the surfer, then the simple technological
implementation of blocking side doors makes the blocking at the front
door more effective.
There are certainly arguments to be made about what if the surfer is
from outside the US, and how could they be verified. It could certainly
mean that given tougher legislation and enforcement that adult sites
and businesses are moved offshore.
While the "sky is falling story" has been around for years, it is somewhat
cyclical that all the legal issues that faced the adult sector in the
70's might be coming around for the 00's.
My observations of what webmasters could do:
1) Don't show hardcore - display softcore to entice people to become
members that requires a CC, therefore giving you legal defenses as demonstrated
by the Extreme Associates case. Then there are issues of the imagery
that is shown publicly to be "tasteful", or in context of other material
(ie. text) so that it can't be singularly focused on.
2) Block the side doors so the "bad images" don't show up in little
Johnny's face such that he shows mommy, and mommy complains to people
who lobby state and federal officials about how little Johnny saw porn
from a search engine result.
3) Have front doors with no explicit imagery, that includes the "click
if over 18 text", to at least warn a surfer about what they might getting
into if they did click the "over 18" or "enter" link. While this may
ultimately prove to be ineffective in court, it at least shows your
intent and interest to keep children out (and even adults who didn't
want to see porn). If a parent, law maker, or law enforcer can go into
a search engine and type in non-adult keywords like "Amanda Rain" and
be able to demonstrate that the "bad stuff" is easily accessible by
children, then those websites that SEO'd themselves into the top rankings
could end up being the new poster children for enforcement. The use
of non-adult keywords like putting in "Amanda Rain" can turn up adult
content. It's very possible that the other words used on your adult
related website could bring back your website links.
4) Consult with an attorney about the above observations and about what
you could/should do to keep off the DOJ radar screen.
A long term prison sentence is overlooked by a short-term vision for
profits.
In the competitive marketplace for providing adult entertainment to
web surfers, the companies that have legal opinions in place and implementation
of defensive tactics to prevent minors from accessing their content,
are the ones that will surely survive once the pieces of the sky hit
the ground. While there is a sense of community where competitors can
talk and even party together, it's still a competition for the surfer's
dollar. Gregg summarized the legal dilemmas for webmasters by saying
at one point, "It ain't what you make, it's what you keep."
A good wrap-up of the Legal panel was written up by Connor Young at
Ynot:

If you have gotten down this far, then I hope that this bit of information
helps to guide you in your efforts to building and maintaining a successful
business by being aware of the legal issues that you will face.
Nacho Vidal Defends His Decision To Direct Gay Movie
Jamie
Bryan writes on XPT:
He's just digging in his heels into a new market. No big deal. Despite
what he says, that the film is 'for the ladies' as Jeff Stryker would
sometimes say, this is clearly for his gay fans out there. Nacho's slowly
evolved from a hardcore straight stud/director of straight porn, to
a straight stud/director of trannie porn, to a straight stud/director
of gay porn. It's no biggie, as long as he's not actually sticking his
dick into the male talent. Even if he does, I wonder if it will really
have any effect on his career. Those who want to see Nacho 'gay it up'
will probably love it, and those who don't, probably won't care because
they would have already tuned out ten she-male titles ago. As for Nacho's
decision to shoot gay porn, does it matter? Every single producer in
the business, including Jeff, is guilty of using 'straight' studs who
have f--ked other guys.
Nacho Vidal replies:
There are a couple of things I would like to say.... First I feel so
important reading your posts. It is nice to see people taking his free
time thinking of you. No matter what you say... good or bad, means good
to me just because you are talking about it. Thats the only important
thing right here. And, also I would like to say for all of you that
if I will be gay my life will be better and with out complication. But
I am not I love pussy and I will always love pussy. and the reason why
i make a gay movie is because i am a porn director and a director can
direct anything... thats why we call ourselves directors... not hetero-directors.....
porn-directors. and to all my gay fans who send me thousands of emails
asking me to make a gay movie this is an honor to them because they
are also my fans and they deserve to have what they are asking for.
So for all the hetero and women who dont like me because i make that
I will say try to enjoy your life and leave the rest of the people to
do what they like to do. I live in a free country and you can say good
or bad things about me... it is still nice to hear from you. the pope
die, lets take a minute of silence only matters to me what is really
important... food, work and death. i love my mom and my fans. thats
for all of you... nacho vidal (the real one refuse imitiations) I have
no hiv
I see Monkey iknows me a little bit. You are totally right. I dont
know how to read and write so well in english. But, sitting next to
me this sexy bitch her name is ariana jollee. She is helping me to read
and understand all the things you like to say about me or my movies.
she flew all the way from LA to meet me and shoot a gangbang with 15
shemales. Because she likes shemales alot. One more thing, my gay movie
is my best seller does this mean something to you guys ? It means alot
to me. I love fans who love me and what I do and the people who dont
like what i make is free to watch other stuff. The pope died, dont you
forget that, that means something. The rest means alot for the person
who is saying it. Love my mom.... she bring me to the beautiful world.
take care of yourself...
Smiling Arab writes:
I would like to take this opportunity to chastise you mean boys for
being so immature. So what if Nacho spent several days with his camera
lens inches away from the genitals of two men engaged in hot gladitorial
love? He's an artist, and it pays well. When he embarks on his second
career as a prison punk, these lessons will serve him well.
A technical question, Nacho: when you were shooting that one dude totally
topping out on the other, what did you do to get a really great scene
out of them? Was it the usual chatting up, the "Yeah, baby, take that
hot slab of manmeat"? Or did you go through it with them before hand
and let their passion take the scene where it may? I'm just wondering
because I think the whole "ho-slapping latino crossing over to overt
homosexuality" trend is the new black and you're really a trailblazer
here.
Penny Lane - So Young And So Tragic
James
writes on XPT: "As I'm reading
Luke this weekend, I come across this, and I'm filled with a deep
sense of admiration and wonder at the strength of her will to overcome
and persistance of spirit..."
I meet Penny Lane. She thinks I'm Scott Fayner, who wrote about her
snorting eight-balls of cocaine. Penny says Scott does far more drugs
than her. When Penny was hitting the coke, she lost her boobs and became
skinny. Back from rehab, she again looks like a woman.
Penny is ready to party. "I smoked a lot of pot," she explains.
Monkey to perform in Porn BUT has guidelines
Smelly
Monkey writes on XPT:
I'm ready to make the leap into porn. I've given it serious though
and talked it over with my friends and family and we agreed it was worth
a shot. BUT I have the following guidelines for companies interesting
in my services:
No eye contact by anyone on set
My scene fee is $5000, you get me for 60 minutes ONCE i arrive on set,
once it hits the 60th minute i charge an additional $500 per 3 minutes
I get 10% of the net profit from each feature the company releases
regardless if im in it or not
Private plane on call whenever i want
A person from the company must be sent weekly to my place to tell me
how important i am to that company and other such things to inflate
my ego
Company must kill up to three people i dislike, with no links to myself
All my features have to be shot on dvds that turn blank 12 months after
the first watch so that when i leave porn 12 months later theres nothing
connecting me to it.
I get to pick the people i work with
A dj spot for myself at ksex
A pony
I don't want to sign with just any company so once i get offers from
you all i will break them down and pick the one thats best for me and
my family, god bless monkey.
What Happened To Jayna
From Toronto?
Jack writes:
You wrote about a girl from Toronto Jayna who was at the Las Vegas
shows and was suppose to film with I think Jim South and didnt. She
did some "IntheVIP" films in Florida, and I understand she was in California
shooting these past couple of weeks.
I am wondering if you heard anything about her performance or where
I could look to see her films or shoots? She was back in Toronto getting
bigger implants and I believe she will be looking to do this full time.
I have only communicated with her via email but she hasnt been around.
Mike South responds:
I heard that she had come back here and shot a few things in S FL and
gotten busted for an illegal substance coming back across the border.
She might no longer be allowed in the US.
She has a really bad rep in Canada for being a flake as an escort,
a dancer etc. We dropped all affiliation with her as result. She isn't
someone I would shoot, I'm rather picky ya know. I generally abstain
from shooting flakes and specially druggies.

Chico 'Wanker' Wang Interview
A longtime writer on l-keford.com, Chico (about 35yo?) has
directed over 50 porn movies.
We speak outside Porn Star Karaoke March 29, 2005. He's
intoxicated.
Duke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be
when you grew up?"
Chico: "I wanted to be a lawyer."
Duke: "What did your family expect of you?"
Chico: "To be a doctor or a lawyer. It was a Korean
family."
Duke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in
highschool?"
Chico: "I had friends who dicked around. I was drunk
constantly."
Despite this, he was an excellent student and did a BA (Political
Science, graduating in 1991) and MA (Screenwriting) at UCLA.
Chico grew up in Manhattan Beach, where there were few Koreans.
Duke: "Did your parents know you were getting drunk?"
Chico: "I'm sure they find out. I couldn't lie to my
parents. They didn't do anything about it."
Duke: "Why were you drinking?"
Chico: "Because I'm an alcoholic.
"I don't do any drugs. I need a vice. Drinking and
cigarettes are my vice."
Duke: "Why?"
Chico: "Can we get away from these highschool questions
because it is so far away."
Duke: "When you studied screenwriting, who were your
influences?"
Chico: "Quentin Tarantino, Jean Luc Godard, Harry Reems.
I wrote my masters thesis on how Forest
Gump (1994) was the greatest martial arts movie I've seen. It had
everything from jujitsu to karate to everything you could imagine."
Chico has a big martial arts background. "I was one
of the jujitsu guys from Gracie's [Academy]. They started in a garage
in Redondo Beach about three blocks from where I used to hang out.
"I have no stamina now."
Duke: "How did you get into the porn industry?"
Chico: "While I was at UCLA, I saw that Rob Black was
running for mayor [of Los Angeles in 2000]. I decided to call Extreme.
I got connected to Kevin Kleinrock. I asked him what Rob's positions were.
They had no positions.
"I had a meeting. They had no positions. I gave them
libertarian positions. I said I'd start a website. It was the first website
I created. RobBlackForMayor.com.
"One thing that I had going for myself was that I could
accrue friends on the internet. I realized that the internet was bigger
than video. Five years down the line, the internet and video-on-demand
is going to be bigger than the mechanism for distribution of DVDs and
VHS [videotapes]."
Chico worked at Extreme for eight months on their websites.
Duke: "Why did you leave?"
Chico: "You can ask them. Let's just say they weren't
paying talent well. Tom Byron knows."
Duke: "What's your relationship with Rob Black been
like since then?"
Chico: "Fine. I think he's a phenomenally uncowardly
guy. You have to insane or unbelievably heroic to deal with what he had
to do."
Duke: "Do you think he was looking for a federal obscenity
bust?"
Chico: "He wanted it. He was asking for it. He wanted
to be a martyr."
Duke: "Do you think when he got in the middle of it,
he changed his mind?"
Chico: "When you have all that money coming down the
line, you change your mind quick."
Duke: "Would you like to be a federal obscenity martyr?"
Chico: "No. I don't want any part of that. I don't
the kind of pissing s--- that he does."
Duke: "Why are you in this industry?"
Chico exclaims: "Pussy!
"Why do you look at me so straight? You're so straight-edged."
Duke: "Why else?"
Chico: "It's easy. Dealing with so many retards in
the industry, anyone with half a brain, even if they're a drunken fool,
it doesn't matter. You can go far."
Duke: "Why do you think girls do porn?"
Chico: "Because it makes them more money than flipping
hamburgers."
Duke: "What are your ambitions?"
Chico: "I want to start my own internet company. I
was one of the guys who started Meatholes, Midnight Prowl. I think those
are the most phenomenal sites out there. I don't know how long I'll be
in this industry for."
Duke: "Do you have more friends inside or outside of
the industry?"
Chico: "Both. If you have more friends than the fingers
on your hand, you have way too many friends. That's my philosophy. It's
a Korean philosophy. Your family comes first. The people who pay you come
second. Your friends come third. No matter what."
Duke: "Do your parents know you're in porn?"
Chico: "They have no clue. They think I'm a computer
nerd. And guess what? If you call them up, they won't understand a single
thing you say."
Duke: "I would never do that."
Chico: "That's because you're sexy."
Duke: "How would they react if they found out?"
Chico: "First, I'd have to visit my mom in the hospital.
She'd have a heart attack. Second, before I killed myself, I'd end up
killing you. Other than that, it's no big deal."
Duke: "Have you dated many girls in porn?"
Chico: "I've f---ed many girls [20?] in the industry.
I haven't dated many."
Duke: "How do women you date outside the industry relate
to you working in the industry?"
Chico: "I don't relate to them at all. I can't. Once
you get into porn, you can't date civilians. How are you going to bring
it up? Oh, I shoot double-anals for a living. Or, I shoot girls taking
15-loads on their face for a living."
Duke: "Do you date girls within the industry or do
you just have sex with them?"
Chico: "I'm asexual."
Duke: "What about having a relationship?"
Chico: "If I have a relationship, it will be because
I was molested in the middle of the night in a drunken stupor."
Duke: "Do you want to get married and have kids one
day?"
Chico: "I do. My parents want grandkids."
Duke: "When do you think you will do something about
that?"
Chico: "As soon as I find the perfect person?"
Duke: "Is it important to you to marry an Asian?"
Chico: "My parents would find that important but I
don't at all."
Duke: "What do you love and hate about the industry?"
Chico: "I don't take it seriously. The industry is
humorous. The characters in it make the industry.
"What I love about the industry is the amount of freedom
I have to do what I want creatively. I never do anything per se. I go
on the set and decide to make stuff up. That's the only thing I love about
the industry."
Duke: "Do you think any of your work counts as art?"
Chico: "No. I'm a cameraman. Maybe some of the storylines
I create. I doubt it. My major goal is to make porn for people to stroke
to."
Duke: "How much have you worked on Hollywood scripts
since you've been in porn?"
Chico: "Very little."
Duke: "Do you think you have left an important part
of yourself die?"
Chico: "No. Mainstream, porn, internet. It's all about
relationships. In porn, if you step in and you have half-a-brain, you're
in. On the other side, where everyone has a high IQ, you step in and you're
not halfway through."
Duke: "Is it important to you to create a lasting work
of art?"
Chico: "No. As long as people like my work, I'm cool.
I have no ego about this kind of crap."
Duke: "How has your time in the industry affected you?"
Chico: "It's made me asexual. I like girls now that
are not naked. When I go into my office, I see five or six naked ladies
a day.
"About two weeks ago, a girl came by. She wanted to
f---. I said, listen girl. I'm asexual. I don't give a f---.
"She got totally naked. I said, you know what would
make you really sexy? If you wore a parka."
Duke: "How would the people who know you best describe
you?"
Chico: "As a psychopath drunk who's even-leveled and
straight-edged."
Didn't he just complain that I was too straight-edged?
Chico: "I've always been a straight shooter.
"I don't let a lot of people into my circle. Once you're
in, you're in, and once you're out, you're always out."
Duke: "How do you decide what's right and wrong?"
Chico: "From my [Buddhist] religion."
Duke: "What are some of its principle tenants that
are different from the way ordinary American people live?"
Chico: "You don't hurt people intentionally. You don't
over-react. You don't do anything that is going to undermine another person's
career. You don't take someone else's money. That's about it."
Duke: "What would Buddhism say about your drinking?"
Chico: "Buddhism would probably react negatively. I'm
not a hardcore Buddhist."
Duke: "What has surprised you in the industry?"
Chico: "More girls who come in who do anal. If I see
a girl who is half-assed, I will not shoot her unless she does anal."
Wayne Hentai Interview II
3/29/05
Wayne, 30yo: "The more successful girls have a head
on their shoulders."
Duke: "Do you think it is a cutting-edge artistic medium?"
Wayne: "I think it is more of a mass-produced, factory-stamped
industry. I don't know how much creativity is involved."
Duke: "What do you love and what do you hate about
the industry?"
Wayne: "I love that I don't have to pay for porn any
more."
Duke: "You still get a lot of pleasure from watching
it."
Wayne: "I watch it and when you see some new girl,
it's interesting. You haven't seen her naked before.
"The bad thing is relating to people on the outside.
They think that if you work in the porn industry, you must be some kind
of social deviant or hardcore drug user. It's hard for people to connect.
Some people live this life 24/7 but most go to work and come home."
Duke: "Do you find yourself not wanting to relate to
people outside the industry because of the stigma the industry carries?"
Wayne: "I keep to myself. I don't deal with people
on the outside that much. Even in the industry, there are only a few people
that I'm friends with. I wasn't one of those people who got around socially
before I got in."
Duke: "Have you dated many porn stars?"
Wayne: "I wouldn't say date."
Hentai has slept with a handful. He says they're better
in bed than civilians. He prefers to date women outside the industry.
"Dating anyone within the industry is like dipping my ink in the
company well."
Duke: "How do the civilian women you date relate to
you working within the industry?"
Wayne: "Sometimes they're amused. The freak factor.
Some don't care. Some of them, it gets to be a problem."
Duke: "What's the longest relationship you've had?"
Wayne is stumped. After fifteen seconds he says, "Maybe
a month or so."
Duke: "Do you think that's a problem?"
Wayne: "In the business?"
Duke: "No. As a human being?"
Wayne is stumped. "I don't think so. You are who you
are. It's not like you are going to come into the industry and change.
I do my thing, hang out at my place, watch TV, play some XBox and read.
That's who I was before I got into the industry."
Duke: "Where do you see yourself in ten years?"
Wayne thinks. "That's a good question. Eventually,
I'd like to write something about the industry. Part of the problem of
writing something about the industry is that people on the outside have
this preconceived notion. When you get into the day-to-day grind of it,
they're not really interested. They want to know about the parties. It's
hyping something that doesn't take up much of your time."
Felicia
Fox Responds To A Fan About The Son of G-d
Tim Case, Felicia's dutiful husband, writes: "Felicia
Fox received an email from a born-again Christian who felt she was doomed
to a life of eternal damnation, if she doesn't give up her life as a porn
star and accept Jesus Christ as her personal saviour. He explained to
her that he wears a "purity ring", which shows that he is a virgin and
will never give himself to another until he and she are cleaved in the
holy bonds of matrimony."
Felicia writes her fan Anderson:
Sweetie: I think jesus christ had some great and progressive ideas,
considering the time and place where he was born and lived out his unfortunately
short life. Its a shame that he was killed for his radical beliefs,
but then, times haven't really changed all that much in that respect,
have they?
I think jesus was the son of god. I think you are also the son of god.
I think that moses, john the baptist, the pope, buddha, marilyn manson,
george carlin, george bush and osama bin laden are the sons of god.
Just as I am the daughter of the god or the goddess or gaia or whomever
might be in charge out there. I do not, however, believe in that frightened-of-my-own-mortality-fueled
fantasy of an afterlife, in any form.
I think you, and your fellow christian cultists, are laughably off
base and missing the point of your existence entirely. I think you all
take the precious "holy scriptures" to be literal truth, when they are
intended as metaphorical fables. I think god, the goddess, or whomever
is in charge, if they really are up there, is thoroughly embarrassed
by your actions and really wishes you would just stop. I think that
you are engaged in a profound waste of your own time by trying to make
converts to your christian cult by seeking out individuals online and
harangueing them with your dogmatic observations. If you don't like
what I do for a living, why seek me out online and take the time to
tell me about it? I don't care what you think, and definitely have more
important ways to spend my own AOL minutes.
I can't imagine living a life so empty that I would waste my days by
seeking out individuals that I know ahead of time I'm going to disagree
with -- white supremacists, man-eating cannibals, born-again christians
-- and then trying to whine at them that their way of life is wrong
according to my own personal standards. Who cares? What gives you the
right? Are you truly that much of a loser? And what could possibly make
such an individual -- you, in other words -- think you are accomplishing
anything more than wasting your time? Or, more importantly, mine?
Please don't bother to contact me again. Consider spending your time
on more worthwhile pursuits, such as helping the homeless, tuning up
your car, or perhaps reading the collected works of Joseph Campbell.
In other words: Take your purity ring, babe, and stick it where the
Son don't shine.
Anderson replies:
You seem to be quite offended by the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.Which
makes perfect sense, because the reason people such as yourself get
offended is simply because the Word of God brings forth light and exposes
those who choose to live in darkness like yourself. And it exposes your
evil and wicked deeds and sins. And this makes you uncomfortable to
talk about including your lifestyle. The Word of God pierces the heart
of man kind and people don't like to hear the truth. So your response
is very predictable just like everyone else in the world. So don't get
mad about me writting you back because I sat here and read all you wrote
me so I expect the same. My prayers will be with you and your future
husband. And I did not seek you out I just happen to come across your
profile. And I care thats why I took the time to share the truth and
my heart with you. If I didn't care i'd simply say the heck with ya
and not even bother. But I love and God loves you thats why He sent
His Son to die for you and me. John 3:16-17 "For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall
not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into
the world to condemn the world, but that the world would be saved through
Him". Don't lie to yourself in thinking the bible does not effect you,
because one day you will face the Almighty true living God and have
to give an account for your life. It's like standing on a beach and
theres a hurricane and a huge wave is headed towards you, and you stand
there and say to yourself I don't believe in that wave or it won't effect
me, because weather you believe in that wave or what it can do to you
or not it? It will not only effect you it will hit you. However the
good news is Jesus took the wrath of God that was reserved for us and
paid the price so we didn't have to. However if you reject the free
gift Christ has to offer then you are headed down a path that will destroy
you for all eternity. Remember everyone spends eternity in one of two
places there is no other choice and thats heaven or hell? Take care
and God bless
Brandy Alexandre writes: "I, too, have gotten a fair
share of venomous missives about how I'm going to suffer eternal damnation,
as if they forgot to read that part about all judgments being up to God.
These people call themselves Christians? It is the most UN-Christianlike
behavior I've ever seen in my life, and I can guarantee that should they
precede me in death, they will be the one's to greet me at the gate, kiss
me on the cheek, and place the lei of thorns around my neck in welcoming.
Feh."
Why Are There So Few Porn Stars Today?
Nina
Hartley responds to a post:
...I have the right personality for this line of work. I like people
and don't suffer from social shyness. I'm also passionate about my bigger
agenda: educating people about sexual issues and advocating a sex-positive
viewpoint, while indulging completely my own exhibitionistic needs.
I was able to put up with the bulls--- of this business because it was
helping me with my bigger goal: to be known as a sex educator/healer.
I knew it would take 20 years, and I've been proven right.
I'm a star because, as you point out, I did the work. No company pushed
me forward. Not to dis Ginger's and Jenna's accomplishments in any way,
but I became a star in spite of the system, not because of it.
I'd not be able to become a star today, as the performers are more
disposable now. I came in just at the right moment: as video brought
porn to the home. Many men have told me that Nina movies were the only
ones their wives let into the house. Not, usually, because the wives
were lusting after me, but because the wives could watch me and not
feel they were being left out of the picture. The women, who do tune
into different cues than most men do, could TELL I was intelligent,
having a good time and in full possession of my faculties. In short,
they could watch me and get turned on and not feel guilty or tawdry
for it.
That was always my intention, BTW. As I've always said, "If I don't
turn her on, YOU don't get laid!"
Vivid Practices Lookism
Nina
Hartley responds:
It will come as no surprise to Vikki that non-specialty companies are
just as "lookist" as any in the civilian market. In other words, no,
Vivid would not be interested in the BBW niche, despite it's potential
profitablity. Vivid sells most of their product to cable, which is not
interested in BBWs or any such fetish.
Websites are difficult to launch, and hard to find cc companies that
will handle adult content. If she checks out any BBW sites, she may
be able to network with them. She shouldn't travel on her own dime,
if she can avoid it, as she's already found out how cheap the companies
are.
She needs to be very careful in working for any company, as some companies
hire BBWs in order to make fun of them, or to disrespect them on camera,
both in what they're expected to do, as well as in the titles and cover
shots. So, it's up to her to say "no" to any work that would make her
feel bad or disrespected. If she does negotiate a scene, and they try
to change it when she arrives to the set, she needs to restate her orginal
negotiation, or leave. She should NEVER sign the model release until
she's paid, or she has zero leverage.
Vicki Nicole responds:
i agree with you that the biggest companies like Vivid are lookist,
these company do what they KNOW and has PROVEN to work they are not
seeking to break new ground i think that what i am seeking to do is
something groundbreaking, i see a hole in the market and plan to exploit
it, that hole is for high quality glamour plus size adult models and
actresses, not these demeaning movies like "the chunky whisperer" and
the other movies of such put out by companies like Legend Video but
high quality glamour soft core porn that shows BBW women as sexy and
desireable
looking towards the future: i think that with the popularity of new
shows like the hit Showtime series "Fat Actress" and the success of
a multi million dollar company like Lane Bryant, companies are going
to see that they are losing alot of money by not catering to the Plus
Size market, I already see it with companies like Old Navy, Wal-Mart
( i was shocked to go into wal-mart the other day and find lace thigh
high stockings in a size 4x) and Target who are all intergrating full
plus Size sections into their stores because tthey are trying to "catch
up" with Lane bryant who pretty much saw the hole in the market and
filled it alone for many years, so I believe, eventually the BBW market
will become more towards a mainstream market and alot of companies will
have to "catch up" as well
New Site to Provide 'Porn Star Report Card'
for Producers
Ernest
Greene responds:
Just what we need in porn, a special site devoted to griping and whining
from producers, directors and production managers about talent (and
you can bet it will be mostly female talent) who do or don't do something
to incur their wrath. Just who will vett the accuracy of these "report
cards?" Certainly, there are irresponsible, disruptive and just plain
flaky performers, but producers and directors generally already know
who they are. This just provides a public forum in which production
people can air their grudges for whatever reasons. Maybe the performer
really did show up two hours late and without her test or ID. That certainly
happens. But maybe she got there right on time with all her docs, found
out she was actually expected to do a double-anal instead of a girl-girl
and took a hike, so a pissed off "auteur" decides to do what he can
to ruin her rep and deny her future employment. Will performers be allowed
to respond to negaitve reports? If so, the sponsors don't mention it.
I have a different idea. Somebody needs to put up a report-card site
for producers and directors, noting which ones hang paper, bait-and-switch
scene content or agreed co-players, perpetually run five hours behind
schedule, beat down people's rates and otherwise demonstrate themselves
to be assholes. I'll bet that site would make for some interesting reading.
DCypher responds:
Couldn't agree with you more and it was the first thing I thought
when I read about it. How could this be anything other than a flawed
system or yet another attempt to blackmail talent into going along with
whatever new form of coercion the said producer slash directors had
come up with to further screw them, both figuratively and literally.
But then, the obvious struck me...even if you could get people to visit
this site and parcticipate in it, ultimately it wouldn't change
anything. One of the things that I have learned in the fourteen semesters
I have spent in the school of Porn, among many sad facts in this industry,
is that people will hire a girl who smokes crack, flakes and doesn't
call, steals from other girls on set, or commits any other list of heinous
(sp?) crimes against the shoot, no matter how much you warn them.
Case in point, Taylor Rain has flaked countless times and is still working
those jobs she choses to show up to. Monica Sweetheart once left us
waiting on set 8 hours, but we really wanted to shoot her, and eventually
the scene won an AVN Award for the director, who cared a lot about that
kind of praise. Despite his obvious frustration at the time it eventually
yielded exactly the kind of reward he had been seeking.
My ex-wife, Bunny Luv, was famous for taking jobs with a chipper attitude
and then not showing up and shutting her phone off the day of the shoot.
When people would reach her and ask her why she would tell them not
to hire her again, but they would still call.
It's amazing the lengths that producers will go to in order to get
the hottest chicks they can for their movies. Give them a bad report
online? Go ahead...it will probably save their career...
The true system which has been and continues to be in place is a system
of producers and PM's that call each other to ask about talent.
Sorry to hear that Stoney Curtis, who has been beaten up more than once
for jumping into scenes with girls without telling them or finishing
the scene, paying the male talent and sending them home, then f---ing
the girl and telling her it's still part of the scene, is not privy
to this time honored method.
My ex told me that she went to a party at his house and he cornered
her alone in a room wearing a bathrobe, opened it to expose himself
to her, then told her that if she didn't f--- him he wouldn't
hire her. I am happy to say that she never worked for Stoney and that
when he called me and asked me to PM for him I got the chance to tell
him EXACTLY why I wasn't comfortable with that proposition.
Nina Hartley writes:
I'm with you guys on this one. It will just be a place for dopes to
air their grievences and spread rumors.
Besides the obvious room for out and out lying, why was nothing said
about male talent? I've had my share of prima donna dudes who are also
late, on drugs and can't get wood. Will that be mentioned? Sheesh.
Stoney isn't the first "director" to cock block in an attempt to be
stunt dick for a day. Why doesn't he just buy a hooker and be done with
it?
Sleazy, to put it mildly.
Sheldon Ranz writes: "Not to mention that AdultDVDTalk.com already
provides a forum for anyone in the industry, including producers. Of course,
talent can also post rebuttals there, so Stonehenge's real agenda in wanting
a producers-only site is apparent."
AVN's Summer
Internext In Florida
AVN Aly writes
on JBM:
Here are some of the key features and benefits the Summer Internext
Conference has added since last year:
- They've paid the hotel a lump sum for wireless Internet access to
be turned on in every possible corner of the property. Meeting space,
the exhibit hall, seminar rooms, the lobby, restaurants, swimming pool....etc.
This allows for all attendees to do get online freely.
- They're building up the Seminar program so that it is on par with
what is now done at the Vegas show. Typically the summer event has only
had 6 or 7 seminars. This year there will be a full seminar program,
designed to deliver the same educational value that people have come
to expect from the larger Winter event.
- They will be providing complimentary Breakfast (in the Feature Pavilion/Exhibit
Hall foyer) and Lunch outside the seminar room.
- They are shutting down the entire Diplomat Resort for Internext.
Other than the convention center lobby (registration area), no one will
set foot on hotel property without a badge. This is a tremendous benefit
to all show participants. This is an exclusive Industry event. Only
those individuals who are looking to do business will be there.
- As requested, they are mailing badges out prior to the event to all
pre-registered show goers. This will cut down the wait time on-site.
Overall this event is about ACCESS. Participants pay for a badge that
grants them access to the market they want to reach
- the people they want to do business with, access to the seminars,
access to parties, access to do business without restriction anywhere
and anytime. The point is, once you get the badge
- the entire resort property becomes your business forum. You are paying
for access and Internext is creating the optimal atmosphere conducive
to your business needs.
- There are also other networking events currently being designed to
offer additional benefits to all attendees.
Ashton Moore Interview
II
Ashton: "I've been married for ten years. I'm a good girl, aside
from films. Everything I do is either at home or on camera.
"When I'm done [with porn], I have a degree in interior design.
I have an interest in real estate, whether it is sales or appraisal. However,
because I'm a Club Jenna girl, and Club Jenna is based out of Scottsdale,
Arizona, maybe I will stay in the business and work on the business side."
Duke: "How do you spend your money?"
Ashton: "Very wisely. I'm lucky to make the money I make. It could
be gone tomorrow. When I am done in this business, I want to have something
to show for it. I bought a house last year. I built my dream home. I paid
for my cars. I'm trying to put money away to put my kids through college.
When I'm not working, my time at home is valuable. We take lots of family
vacations. I'm very smart with my money. I don't splurge."
Duke: "What is your husband's role in your professional life?"
Ashton: "He is my everything.
He runs my house when I'm not at home. So I am out of town, I don't feel
guilty about being gone. I have a Yahoo account, MySpace accounts. I have
fans everywhere. I have email coming in. He goes through everything and
keeps me updated. He's my housekeeper, my maid, my secretary, my personal
assistant. When I come home, he gives me backrubs."
Duke: "What kind of man can do that?"
Ashton: "On some days he says, 'I just feel like such a loser. I
do nothing.' I said, 'Trust me. If you were to do nothing for a day, I'd
definitely feel the effects of it.' He says, 'I feel like I'm not a man.
I feel like I'm just sitting here...'
"I would be so exhausted if I had to do all this myself. He doesn't
answer emails for me. I really do it. But he sorts through and puts it
all in priority. If I come home for a day, he'll say, 'Your email is stacking
up. Sit down with it for an hour. I'll wash your dance costumes so you
can repack.'"
Duke: "How many words per minute do you type?"
Ashton laughs: "One. I'm a one finger typer. He sits and makes fun
of me all the time. But I'm getting faster with that one finger. If fans
email me, they know that I usually write big long stories back."
Duke: "Why doesn't your husband teach you how to type with all ten
fingers?"
Ashton: "Because I don't have time."
Duke: "How did you do your papers at college?"
Ashton: "I'm going to date myself. I'm old. When I was going to
school, computers weren't that big. In highschool, I didn't even have
a computer. All my papers were handwritten. When I got to college, I handwrote
all my papers and he typed them up for me."
Duke: "Did he come in and take tests for you as well?"
Ashton: "No. I did all the dirty work. He just helped me.
"I was 19 when I got married. I turned 29 yesterday. But porn years
are like dog years. Multiply everything by seven and I am about 200-years-old."
Duke: "What song would be your theme song?"
Ashton: "Kid Rock's Only
God Knows Why. And Limp Bizket's My Way."
I read aloud some of Kid Rock's song: "I've been giving just ain't
been gettin'"
Ashton: "That's how I feel about the last three years. I've been
working my butt off. That's why this year I decided it is time to step
up. I need to get out of this contract. I need to be happy. I need to
do stuff that I'm proud of. I love this business. When I feel unhappy,
I know that it is time to make a change.
"I can't wait to look back a year from now and see what I've accomplished
this year."
Duke: "There's a lot of drama with Jill Kelly Productions."
Ashton: "Jill Kelly is a fabulous lady. She works so hard. I respect
her. It just seems that for some reason drama and conflict follows her.
It's too bad. She deserves better than what she has now."
Duke: "How much did you get to know the Bizarre Video crowd?"
Ashton: "I didn't. All the JKP girls were given the option of shooting
fetish videos for Bizarre. That's something that just doesn't interest
me. If you're going to do fetish, you should love it. There are rules
to it. You don't just go in and beat the s--- out of somebody. I'm not
that dominant to give it, nor do I enjoy the type of pain you get from
receiving it. It wasn't something that I enjoyed. Therefore, I decided
not to do it.
"After I got out of my contract with Jill, Skye Blue offered me
fetish [work]. It was a couple of spanking videos. I played the submissive
role. I shot three segments. I tried it. Let me tell you, the tears that
are coming out of my eyes while it is happening, those are real. I tried
it. I had the welts on my butt for two weeks afterwards to prove it.
"I enjoyed it at first. A little bit of light choking. Being submissive
and letting someone else have control was a turn on until the start of
the actual spanking and contact. I don't like that. I like to feel good
when I'm having sex.
"I don't just do things for money. I do it because I enjoy it."

Gene Ross - Tom Zupko Together Again
From Adultfyi.com:
I remember getting into Extreme Associates generally around six in
the morning to start posting on generossextreme.com. And down the hall
would be Tom Zupko, three sheets to the wind stretched out on the couch
in his office. I rarely if ever saw Zupko leave the building. He'd be
there working on his movies or getting some p.r. project finished for
the company. Zupko never leaving. A lot of times beer partying with
Wanker Wang until all hours and getting stupid. Zupko, a Miller Lite
vampire. I never saw Zupko eat food except for one time in Vegas.
Some things change. Some things don't. I notice immediately that Zupko's
looking rather svelte. He's telling me he's jogging and watching his
carbs, Zupko apparently wanting to start a POV line and is trying to
get ripped for the occasion and if for no other additional reason, to
give it one last shot at looking good before he meets his maker. That's
how Zupko puts it.
The
Professional - The Pedo
The Professional, 1994, is one of my favorite films. I completely missed
the pedo angle, thank G-d.
From IMDB.com: "The
orginal script had more scenes with "awkward sexual tension" between Matilda
and Leon, including a scene where the two lie on the bed and Matilda talks
about sex. These scenes were later cut out for the American release dubbed
"The Professional", but were included in the European release, as well
as in the deleted scenes of the special edition DVD."
MrLuvr writes on GFY: "A pedophile is someone who is attracted to
pre-pubescents. i.e. someone who has not yet reached puberty and does
not display any sexual characteristics."
Warlock writes: "The stupidty of people on here never ceases to
amaze me. GFY posts are used in lawsuits and criminal investigations and
people continue to make asses of themselves as if this is some sort of
drunk orgy."

Hollywood
Screenwriters: Get A Clue
Carly Milne has a terrific post:
In the "Sofia Lopez" episode of Nip/Tuck - yes, I'm invoking the show
again. you're going to get sick of hearing me talk about it, so get
used to it now - there's a scene where young Matt goes to a porno party
courtesy of Christian. The party itself looked pretty swanky, which
made me think it was hosted by an Adam & Eve or Hustler type of company
- someone with deep pockets who wants to shell out for the hanging of
silvery sheaths of fabric and the catering spread they had laid out.
I can ignore the fact that you missed some of the key components to
every porn party, such as the uneven ratio of men to women (in real
life it's heavily in the male favor, of course), the throng of people
feverishly smoking throughout the whole shindig and the collection of
girls theatrically making out with one another or writing on the dirty
dance floor to gain attention from the photographers. Those are easy
things to miss if you've never actually been to a porn party.
A screenwriter responds:
Yes, this fluffer madness simply has to stop. Now that's something
to devote yourself to.
What a life she must have to have to write this. Sad.
Carly responds:
That's terribly funny. Who said I'm devoting myself to stopping the
fluffer myth? Anyone who reads my site knows full well 90% of what I
post is tongue in cheek fun, yet this screenwriter appears to have taken
me seriously. And I'm the one who's sad?
Greg
Lasrado's Doctor-Father Suspended On Poor-Conduct Charges
From
the Sunday Mail in Brisbane:
The father of internet porn
baron Greg Lasrado has been suspended from practising medicine after
allegations he groped women patients, asked them on dates and boasted
about affairs.
Dr Gregory Dominic Lasrado,
64, also came under investigation over his prescription of dangerous
drugs.
His millionaire son Greg Lasrado Jr is a flamboyant Brisbane businessman
who has built a property empire after making his fortune in internet
pornography.
Documents obtained by The Sunday Mail reveal Dr Lasrado prescribed
the highly addictive painkiller pethidine and "date rape" drug flunitrazepam
to patients in suspicious circumstances.
Medical Board of Queensland executive officer Jim O'Dempsey confirmed
Dr Lasrado had been suspended from practice pending charges before the
Health Practitioners Tribunal.
"When the board refers charges to the tribunal, it is of the view
that the charges are serious enough to lead to suspension or deregistration,"
he said.
The case is detailed in documents filed in the Health Practitioners
Tribunal after Dr Lasrado unsuccessfully appealed against his suspension.
The documents show the Medical Board started investigating Dr Lasrado
after complaints from three women who were patients between 2001 and
2003.
One said Dr Lasrado had kissed her, grabbed her buttocks and told
her she had a "nice arse".
Another said Dr Lasrado had discussed sexual positions and patted
her on the buttocks.
The Medical Board initially did not try to stop Dr Lasrado from practising.
Instead, conditions were imposed in November 2003 that he must have
a chaperone present during consultations with women.
But information surfaced that he was not complying with the conditions
and he was suspended from practice in December last year.
Medical Board investigators had reviewed his files to find chaperones
were recorded on only 403 out of 718 consultations with women. Some
of the patients were contacted, revealing further allegations of inappropriate
conduct.
One patient said she had an appointment with Dr Lasrado in April 2004,
in which she underwent a pap smear and was told she was pregnant.
"At that point Dr Lasrado then asked me if I would like to go out
with him for a drink," the woman said in a statement.
Medical Board chairwoman Erica Cohn said in a statement to the tribunal
that Queensland Health's Drugs of Dependence Unit had contacted the
board in September 2001 with concerns about Dr Lasrado prescribing controlled
drugs.
A report from Drugs of Dependence Unit investigator Adam Sorby says
Dr Lasrado had prescribed pethidine and flunitrazepam – commonly
sold under the trade name Rohypnol – to patients for headaches
and stress.
He said in an interview with investigators that he had prescribed
pethidine to one patient for an ear infection.
"However, he had prescribed pethidine for (the patient) on three separate
occasions several months apart," Mr Sorby's report says.
Dr Lasrado said some of the pethidine may have been administered to
another patient.
Pethidine had also been prescribed to an employee of a patient. Investigators
contacted the employee, who said he had never taken drugs, "not even
Panadol".
"(The employee) said the patient had bad headaches and he had collected
a prescription for the patient, not noticing his own name on the script,"
Mr Sorby's report said.
But the man called back investigators a few minutes later and said
he had spoken to Dr Lasrado and now remembered receiving treatment for
a bad back.
"The circumstances of Dr Lasrado's prescribing for (some patients)
raises concerns about the legitimacy of the prescribings," Mr Sorby
reported.
Dr Lasrado filed a statement saying he was unaware of any previous
complaints against him in his 40 years in medicine. Some staff at his
surgeries at Indooroopilly and Lutwyche also defended him.
"I deny making inappropriate comments, indicating I was willing to
have a relationship with patients and touching patients inappropriately,"
his statement says.
Dr Lasrado was charged with unprofessional conduct and is due to face
the Health Practitioners Tribunal for a five-day hearing in July.
Libertine Philosophers
Luke
F-rd Fan Blog reports:
I'm surprised that Mr Gillespie is prepared to show his face in public
so soon after having been bested by Luke F-rd in a meeting
of the minds a couple of weeks ago. Should not an embarrassed Mr
Gillespie have retreated from public view for a long period of self-examination
and repentance?
Apparently not because he was pontificating and sounding all authoritative
last night. Unfortunately, I couldn't follow his argument that the Schiavo
case has nothing to do with the "culture of life," because he kept waving
his left hand in front of the camera. This was no nervous tick. Mr Gillespie
was showing off to the television audience that he's available and
a libertarian. And we all know what that means.
...It especially annoys me that these people are smart enough to concoct
an entire ideology to justify their swinging lifestyle. Andrew
Sullivan is a classic example of someone whose political philosophy
is simply an extension of his voracious sexual appetite. At least Mr
Sullivan got his comeuppance when his personal ad asking for large black
men to play "top" to his "bottom" was plastered all over the Internet.
The Pope Dies - Pornographers Respond
Brandy
Alexandre writes:
Who would've thought The Papa would actually have any relevance on
your site? Well, relevance to anyone who actually is interested in this
sort of thing. I thought I'd write to tell you that the immanent passing
of Pope John Paul II is having an unforeseen affect on me. I remember
when he rose to the papacy in 1978. That year was a HORRIBLE year for
me for reasons that would require a great deal of bandwidth to convey.
Needless to say, that was the year I lost my faith. That he would die
*this* year is just as striking because this is the year I wrote my
mother a letter terminating our relationship based on events that stemmed
from 1978.
From all I've seen and read about The Holy Father, he was truly as
much of an immaculate person as he was a religious figurehead. Though
I was raised Mormon, I certainly respect all faiths. And, in spite of
his being the leader of the most powerful, wealthy, devout, and long-standing
religion in the world, the fact that he was once an actor gives us all
a connection to him and insight to the source of his charisma in some
manner.
If one wants to play the "Kevin Bacon" game, I have one degree of separation
from His Holiness, my good friend, who for obvious reasons will remain
nameless, directed and starred in a musical performance for the pontiff
at the Vatican a couple of years ago, and a picture of their meeting
appears on his web site. He told me Pope John Paul II is a wonderful,
gracious, humorous individual who can invoke an uplifting of the spirit
simply by occupying the same room. Now, this does nothing to change
the level of my faith, but only strengthens my hope that *his* faith
is well-placed, and he is soon to sit at the right hand of the Lord,
in honor, in his death, whom he served so faithfully throughout his
life.
Rest in peace and serenity, Karol.
