The Strange Case of Ava Vincent
I'm finding this beauty very intriguing.
I first saw her in "Studhunters" and was rather impressed by her. She struck me as a kind of ditzy blonde who was given a chance to act in a movie and acquitted herself rather well for a slightly slow-witted, but very sweet young lady.
A few weeks later I saw a movie with one Jewel Valmont, who played an advance degreed sexologist. She was quite a sharpie and rather lovely also. Soon thereafter I discovered to my amazement that Jewel Valmont is Ava Vincent.
So today I see my second Ava Vincent movie, the aptly titled "Believe It Or Not". And again, she's an adorable bombshell, but kind of -- you know -- one egg short of a carton. But then there's an interview segment as part of the movie and she's really dressed down with no trace of the Joker-like lipstick that she favors during her scenes. And presto! She's alert, kind of urbane and projects a smart-cookie sensibility.
So I'm left to wonder, is Ava Vincent a character that she always slips into? She does such a good job with her, as she's not really a stereotypical dumb blonde. She's just a little ponderous, maybe.
Would like to hear from her fans. Am I seeing something that's not really there and just based on a quick sampling of her work?
Asia Carrera Becomes A Pageant Mommy
Well yesterday was Catty's big day at the baby pageant. Mommy put Catty in the "makeup chair" and curled her hair a little, and then helped her into her pageant dress. Then off to the pageant we went! Daddy took Catty up on the stage because I prefer to avoid the limelight in all forms now. There were a lot of babies there, and the competition was tough. So many cute little chubby faces! Unfortunately Catty had to go first, and the judges never give super high scores to the first contestant because they want to see what else is out there, y'know? The judges took a long time making their decisions, and Catty fell asleep in Daddy's arms while waiting. When they announced Catty as the winner for "Miss Photogenic", she slept right through the awards and the applause! Doh!! But when Mommy got home, she set up some lights and did a little photo shoot so Catty could show off her medal for Category Winner, and her trophy for "Miss Photogenic". Catty was so proud she gave her trophy a big KISS! Yay for Catty! Mommy is soooo proud of her little girl!! (And no, I don't plan to become a pageant mommy! This was fun, but we're not going to make a habit of it!)
What's Going On With Video Team?
I asked Video Team leader Christian Mann about what was going on. I heard rumors about Video Team bouncing checks and that Metro's people were at Video Team, possibly scouting out an acquisition.
Mann replies Wednesday:
It is true that Video Team over-extended itself in December and January with extraordinary expenses, a big production, and a slowdown in cash flow, which recently caused us to bounce several checks. In each instance, the transgression was IMMEDIATELY rectified with a recompense in good funds or a cashier's check, etc. Moreover, I made myself available to personally deal with the problem in an honest and forthcoming manner. This is not an excuse, but an explanation. The responsibility for poor cash management lies with me alone and I take accountability for my actions, good and bad. Corrective measures have been taken and as I stated, anyone affected by this has been satisfied in full.
Regarding any rumors about Metro buying Video Team: this was rumored over a year ago, and it turned out to be false. In this newer instance, I suspect the rumor has to do with the fact that Video Team and Metro have been cooperating on some marketing programs, specifically relating to selling product to mail-order companies in a joint effort to help both companies. In any event, to answer your question directly, no, Metro is NOT buying Video Team.
Anything contrary from any other "sources" would be speculation. I hope your readers prefer fact to rumor, but I have no expectations.
Holly Randall Visits Porn Star Karaoke
Wednesday, 9 am.
HollyRandall: i can't believe you got me up so early you bastard
Luke: why can't i leave you alone?
Luke: why must i repeatedly ravage your tender soul
HollyRandall: i already got a message through xpeeps about someone who
wants to work in the "business" side of the industry
HollyRandall: said he found my profile on your site
HollyRandall: no one talked to me [at PSK]
Luke: i meant that's why i linked your xpeeps profile
HollyRandall: actually seriously there was a good 10 min or so where i
didn't see you or ANYONE i knew
HollyRandall: Seymour was nice, he let me right in
HollyRandall: there was a line and i didn't want to stand in it, so i
went up to the front and asked if i could just get in
HollyRandall: the door guy says, "who are you with?"
HollyRandall: i said, "i'm with me, isn't that enough?"
HollyRandall: so then i said, "i'm cute. can't you just let me in?"
HollyRandall: lol i'm so obnoxious
Luke: u just had to drop my name
ollyRandall: well i did
Luke: I'm eating chocolate banana porridge
HollyRandall: i said i came with you and you were already in there, that
worked
HollyRandall: i tried the "i'm cute let me in route" but it was mentioning
you that i think got me in
Cam writes: "I'm a little bummed I didn't get to meet the famous
Holly. we were going to stalk you paparazzi-style as you walked off with
arms around each other, but after extensive consultations we decided to
give you two some space to work things out on your own."
HollyRandall: so much for my feminine charms
Luke: I'm listening to your CDs, I might even like 'em
HollyRandall: if you end up liking them, you can officially say you have
good taste in music
Luke: and what does that entitle me to?
Luke: it sounds like air supply
HollyRandall: no it doesn't silly
Luke: more like early air supply
HollyRandall: what do you think?
Luke: I'll have to listen a few times
HollyRandall: that's how i am with music too
Luke: it makes me want to cut my wrists but in a good way
HollyRandall: oh shush HollyRandall: it's sad, but supposed to be good
music
HollyRandall: i mean supposed to be relaxing, mellow
HollyRandall: you need to relax more
HollyRandall: i'm scared those pix you took of me at PSK are just awful
Luke: dont worry, i'll never post a pic of you you do not approve
HollyRandall: i don't look good in photos i'm not prepared for
HollyRandall: i just want to see them
Luke: nor will i ever write anything about you without your blessing,
umm.
HollyRandall: ok well my coffee is kicking in so i'm going to start to
get ready for work
Luke: i go down on you
HollyRandall: what?
Luke: just a salutation
HollyRandall: oh i see, I hate IM and the inability to make jokes
Together We Can Make A Better World
Brandon Iron writes:
Whatever differences Jeff [Steward] and I had in the past are just that...in the past. I respect anyone who earns a living in the sex business, whether it's talent, directors, company owners, jizz moppers, etc.
In a highly competitive environment, cool heads sometimes get overheated and turn into hot heads. Words, once spoken, cannot be taken back. Let's all think long term and not short term.
The whole industry is one big revolving door and you never know who will be your next employer.
Luke's court fight is big news
Burt Kearns writes on Tabloid Baby:
This is a case the LA Times should assign a couple of reporters to look into. Its got classic David & Goliath elements, connections to porn, religion, old Hollywood, William Morris and Internet rights, and a couple of colorful characters going head-to-head.
A Day In The Life Of Holly Randall
HollyRandall: lol i just had to run in set and give Jessi lube
HollyRandall: i love being the lube girl
HollyRandall: i swear this xpeeps site is useless
HollyRandall: all i
get is horny guys
HollyRandall: where are all the chicks?
HollyRandall: i just got another one!
HollyRandall: why does everyone have to use a picture of their dick?
HollyRandall: i mean do they think girls find that hot?
HollyRandall: you think they would have figured women out a little better
by now
HollyRandall: i've decided i'm not going to accept anyone who uses a penis
as their profile pic
HollyRandall: i don't want to look at them every time i log in HollyRandall:
i see enough as it is!
Luke: You have such lofty standards, how's a guy going to measure up to
that?
HollyRandall: i just got an email from a
guy asking how to get into the industry
HollyRandall: i wrote back to him: Well there are several agencies I'd
say you should check out. There is also hardcoremodeling.com where a lot
of models and producers meet. But I warn you, being male talent isn't
as easy as it may seem. The girls aren't always attentive to you, you've
got to remain hard for hours at times with tons of people around you,
and you've got to be able to cum on cue. I would seriously consider it
before jumping in.
HollyRandall: aaah, the cum shot, such a nice sound, means i get to go
home! ok i'm outta here.
Whither Dillan Lauren?
I call her Monday for a brief chat, and then Tuesday afternoon for a longer talk. She's walking around Manhattan.
I understand that Dillan (in porn for about two years, she did over 120 scenes) and her friend Venus are now exclusive to Bella Models (which I believe is the successor to NicisGirls.com).
Dillan says she had a hard time getting unlisted from a rival agency and from Eros Guide in Los Angeles.
A few weeks ago, Derek Hay (owner of LA Direct Models) accidentally ran into Dillan's car with his car. She asked for his insurance information. He told her to pack her stuff and leave from his rental house within five minutes.
She left LA Direct. She quit doing porn.
Dillan: "I just don't want to be in the middle of drama. I don't want to hear the woman I work for badmouthed. I know that was a ten-minute babble [Luke: I did not quote 99% of it] but I'm frustrated about it."
Mona at Bella Models emails me:
I've been in business for 10 years, you should know better than anyone how I treat my girls and refer to them. I would take something that one agent says about another with a spoonful of salt...especially if one of those agents is nothing but a pebble on the other's highway! I wouldn't stoop to that level because I don't have to. Let the player-haters do their talking, my roster speaks for itself.
Luke: "I heard a report that you recently served two months in prison for identity theft?"
Dillan: "I went to county jail for one month because my cousin, with permission, had let me use her IDs. I wasn't using them anymore but I had in the past. It's called false impersonation. It's a misdemeanor. It's not identity theft. I had no restitution to pay. I did not credit card fraud. I gave her $3,000 and straightened out her check system. She's my cousin. We have the same last name. We're family. She let me use her ID."
Luke: "Are you with LA Direct now?"
Dillan: "I'm not. I still speak with Derek. I haven't been shooting for the past four months. If I was going to go back in the industry, that is probably who I would go with. He's an asshole, but he's gotten me the fairest work. I like Derek. I hate him and I like him. I talked to him during the Super Bowl. I said hello to the girls at the house. I stayed there for six months. I'm good friends with Courtney Simpson...
"I'm lost. I need a taxi. It's my first time in New York. It's cold.
"I'm going to duck in the store so I can hear you better.
"When I get back to LA, I'll figure out what I want to do. I didn't want to go back in the industry in need of money. I just want to go back if I want to go back. Now I'm not in need of money."
Luke: "Did you have any hot lesbian sex in county?"
Dillan laughs. "There was one chick with a mohawk who was cool, but we didn't have sex."
Luke: "What do you love and what do you hate about the porn industry?"
Dillan: "I hate the gossip. Not you in particular. The catty bickering amongst women. I love the job freedom. I love how girls from all walks of life and from all countries, if that's legal anymore... I meet friends from completely different backgrounds such as Barbara Summers. It's interesting the way we all ended up in the industry.
"What do you hate about the industry?"
Luke: "Don't get me started."
Dillan: "You never know. I might start a gossip site."
Luke: "It's sad what happens to some of the people in it. I see the fresh-faced new talent and some of them do drugs and party too hard and get awful plastic surgery."
Dillan: "Are you against plastic surgery?"
Luke: "I'm against bad plastic surgery."
Dillan: "There's a lot of that in the industry. I don't even know what the things are that some people have located between their shoulders and their stomach. I haven't done mine yet. I'm thinking about it. I wasn't going to go with a bargain. If you pay $3,900, you're going to get a $3,900 job.
"I'll probably go the dangerous route and go with silicone. The saline ones are ripply and hard.
"Some of the girls look like cartoon characters. You see these girls and they're pretty when they start. Then they change their look and it's not pretty. I like Courtney Simpson. She's so cute and little.
"Oh, this cab is not available.
"I've changed my look since I've been in the industry.
"I was at AVN and looking at the porn stars, I wondered, 'How do you walk around like that in public?' Ridiculous.
"That site MyPornoReview.com is hilarious. Did you see those comments from the girls with the really big titties?
"Ahh, I finally got a taxi. Back to the hotel.
"You were my first phone call on my new phone. I had the other one stolen while I was away. I had to spend $600 to buy another Trio."
Luke: "How has it affected your life becoming a porn star?"
Dillan: "Oh my gosh. Well, my family's pretty cool with it. My older sister thinks I'm a little crazy.
"I'm the middle child of three sisters.
"It affects me the most, whatever career path I want to take in the future, it's tarnished. I was doing my pre-classes for dental before I got in the industry. I'm not sure how that would go over. It's not that anyone can tell you legally that you can't do it, but you know. The dentist is a porn star."
Luke: "It cuts off a lot of things."
Dillan: "I'm trying to pursue other career paths for the future."
Luke: "How has being a porn star affected your love life?"
Dillan: "It's hard to have a serious relationship when you're in the industry. Four months ago when I stopped shooting, it was kinda a good thing, but at the same time, I thought it was going to make me feel much different but really I don't. I guess I'm not ready for a serious relationship right now. Casual dating is ok with me. People have this preconceived notion about who you are supposed to be because you're in the industry. If you have that point of view, just shove it up your ass and don't talk to me. I'm sick of people acting like they're ok with everything, being this over-accepting person, and then totally turning it around. You see that with most of the girls. Sometimes guys have a problem that you make more money than they do. Or they want your money. I'm not looking for all that drama. I do better just keeping guys as friends.
"If I want to get into a serious relationship, I want to make sure I'm done with the industry."
Luke: "It's funny when people get married and have kids and you show up to their house and the porn star mom is ushering the kids out the door so the dad can shoot porn in their kitchen."
Dillan: "I won't judge anyone, but when I'm ready to settle down and have kids, I would hope that my home would be a place where if something like that goes on, it's in my bedroom closet. I wouldn't want my kids sitting down eating cereal on a sofa where people were... I couldn't smell. I couldn't see that. My kids are not going to be used for some 'Mad at Daddy' line."
Luke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool?"
Dillan: "There wasn't a crowd. I had a girlfriend in highschool. I skipped my junior year. I graduated early with my older sister. She was on the cheerleading team. We both competed for ESPN national cheerleading. I hung out with some of those girls. We didn't live in the same city. I stuck to myself and one or two girlfriends, mostly people who were not in highschool. My sister was the popular one in highschool. I was the angry one."
Luke: "You were the rebel."
Dillan: "I don't know about that. I just had a hot head at times."
Luke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?"
Dillan: "An actress. For a lot of years, I wanted to be a teacher. I don't think I'm going to do that.
"Let me look in my bag and see if I have change.
"Hang on, I've got to pay the taxi driver.
"How much is that? OK. Here you go.
"Hold on. I'm dropping bills in the taxi. OK.
"I've got the phone leaned up against my head. I'm trying to get out of the taxi with my bag.
"Have a nice night."
Luke: "OK."
Dillan: "Not you. I was talking to the taxi driver. You're like, that was rude."
Luke: "You've been shopping."
Dillan: "I bought make-up, shoes. I'm trying to replace a lot of things I don't have. I lost more than half of my stuff. Just when I got out of jail, I had my house robbed by someone I know [not in porn]. I wouldn't have thought to worry about the person in my house. It was just savage. They stole my favorite things, my favorite shoes, my favorite clothes."
Luke: "That sucks."
Dillan: "My mom says, 'If you have a full closet, you can't get anything new.' You can look at it as though you have a lot of room in your life to get new stuff and start over. Call me an optimist."
Manuel Ferrara Leaving Red Light District For Evil Angel
Jack emails: "You might wanna ask Tricia Devereaux why she denied the Manuel story two weeks ago, to the point where she had AVN take it down. Manuel was just waiting so he could get more money from David Joseph."
Sean Michaels was fired Tuesday from Red Light Distrct.
It looks like RLD owner David Joseph got tired of people borrowing money from him.
April emails: "When every RLD director leaves, it is because the owner thinks the name RLD carries more weight than the directors. Sales have fallen for RLD and they can't raise their price. More directors will leave. Put a target on michael stefano to leave soon because after him nobody wants the other directors except for Jake Malone. All this is because of greed."
True Love
On the first date, a porn model was making out with a man in a car. He pulled his penis out, pumped it, came in his hand, and then ate it. It was at that moment she realized they were meant for each other. They're now married.
A female porn producer was set up on a date. Then she found out the guy had performed in porn for a couple of months. She thought and thought about it, and ended up cancelling the date. She never dates talent.
I asked her how she'd react if he man wanted her to stick things up his bum. She said she'd run out of the house.
"Does absorbing things up the bum emasculate a man?" I asked.
"Yes," she said.

Ryan Knox Banned From XXXPornTalk?
Ryan writes me:
I was officialy banned from XXXPorntalk last nite for posting a comma.
Tony Malice, owner of failed company Skin Tight Pictures, and Jeff Steward, custodian of all of Jim Power's titles (and the guy that made Ashley Blue a contract girl) both seem to have it out really bad for me.
I offered to set up a XXXPT boxing match in where I would knock Malice around a little but he avoided the idea all together. On the main page of XXXPT it sais that all discussions are welcomed. I had a conversation with Brandon Iron about why he was banned and he told me that he had posted the fact that JM Productions actually uses fake cum at some of the Bukakes. He told me they had poured Pina Collada mix into a beer bong to simulate a girl actually drinking a lot of cum. It makes me wonder if they do this at every Bukake. He told me that Jeff Steward would make a lot of rude posts towards Brandon but came up to Brandon at the convention and totaly kissed his ass! The guy did the same thing to me at the convention.
My point is that XXXPT treats a lot of posters unfairly. If I can get banned for posting a comma and Brandon can get banned for exposing the fact that they stage a lot of fake cum at the Bukakes, who knows what they've banned other people for or will in the future. XXXPorntalk is completely bogus.
Tony Malice responds:
There's only 2 parts of this rant by Ryan which I care to issue a response to. If you consider a porn company as 'failed' when when the they move on to a bigger and richer production deal, then yes, Grip Johnson and I have failed miserably.
As far as banning him for posting a comma, well yeah, that is what happened. He was basically spamming our board with meaningless posts. I have seen it a dozen times before. It is the last phase of a poster's meltdown, they no longer can defend themselves any more and resort to posting gibberish.
I have actually personally refrained from bashing Ryan as much as some of our other posters, and sent him a warning yesterday to just chill out and people would lay off of him. Of course he didn't listen.
Ryan is probably the limpest dicked male performer in the business and everyone who has ever shot him knows it. He has already resorted to being the bottom in fem-dom strap-on movies for Christ's sake. If he didn't want to get mercilessly bashed on the Internet, he should have thought about that before he agree to be repeatedly sodomized on film. That was his own choice and has nothing to do with me, XXXPornTalk.com, or Jeff Steward.
Maybe Ryan and Brandon can move to Brokeback Mountain together.
Ryan Knox responds:
Nevermind the fact that Tony Malice can't keep his s--- talking on one forum but he feels he needs to reach out to every medium to try and sabotage me. Though his say has no real importance or credibility to anyone in this industry, I still feel as though he is a dangerous person. Not only to me but to himself and those around him. He has been very rude and disrespectful to me. My only hope is that someone doesn't take the insults he dishes out too much to heart. He may find himself in a situation that he cannot handle.
I also like how Ryan and Brandon have conferred over their XPT bannings. I'd love to be fly on the wall during that conversation.
Ryan: "Dude, I owned them."
Brandon: "Dude, I know. You totally brought the pain. I so woulda jumped in on your side if I wasn't still banned for spamming."
Ryan: "Dude, I know. We woulda made an awesome team."
AVN Journalist Peter Warren Now Adding Guys To His MySpace Friends List
He posts on MySpace Feb 1: "Guys I Will Add: Current mood: quixotic. Up to this point, I've maintained a strict policy of not adding guys to my Friends list. I've made the decision to alter that policy ... but just slightly. If YOU request ME as a friend, and I deem you to be a spectacularly huge person in the porn industry, I wil CONSIDER adding you. Other than that, my rules still apply: 1) You're a hot and/or riotously funny person with a vagina. 2) You actually know me for real."
Win-A-Date With Holly Randall
I was going to satirize a press release for Tyler Faith by replacing her name with Holly's. Then I consulted with Holly and realized it would be a bad idea: "Two reasons," she said. "People are dumb enough to take it seriously, and if they do, the club where she's performing and the lucky winner can enter will be bombarded with eager fans of Holly Randall, tearing the place apart and causing a massive, and fatal stampede."
My Darling Joanna Angel
I email Joanna: "You're the best looking person on your site BurningAngel.com. Do you keep it that way on purpose?"
She replies:
Luke, I'm not the best looking person on my site. You're just in love with me so your vision is a little bit squewed. I mean, I think James Deen is the best looking guy in the world... but that still doesn't qualify him to be in People Magazine's top 100 best looking people.
I'm sorry, but the best looking girl on my website has to be chosen by someone with a more objective opinion than your's.

James DiGiorgio writes me: "Alexa rankings have little to do with traffic or actual hits. The only measure they have is thru sites that have alexa toolbars (that report back to alexa) or sites with alexa toolbars that link to other sites that may or may not have the toolbars but the originating site reports, to alexa. Alexa measures the click-thrus from one alexa site to another alexa or non-alexa site. I got rid of my alexa tool bar years ago when my rating was in the the low 20Ks or less. And then, when i did, my alexa rating suddenly and magically went in the toilet. whoop-dee-doo. the only way anyone knows what the traffic is to your site or my site is by reading the site logs... which alexa has no access to."
David replies:
I have never had an alexa toolbar and my sites are ranked. Alexa does not need to access your log files but they do access dns log files from the domain registrants. Every time someone clicks on a domain it has to pass through the handful of domain registrators to get to your dns server. They count how many times it passes through that to determine traffic.
Please tell monstar that because he has had 3,054 hits yesterday doesn't mean he had 3054 people come to his site. It means that 3054 file "hits" were pulled from his server. If he is looking at his server logs, he must look at "Total Visits" or "Total Unique Visits." Attached is my server log up to today. My hits say 4,577,802 but my unique hits 137,225. See the big difference?
I just realized that contacpornstars.com is hosted by typepad (blogs.com) Typepad doesn't offer server access logs so I don't know where Monstar is pulling those numbers from. And looking at his source code he doesn't have a traffic analyzer either.
Mike South writes: "Only a moron puts any faith in alexa ranks these days. They are very easy to cheat as I'm sure you well know. You can bet AVN does. Truth is all the porn gossip blogs get about the same amount of traffic, the more important aspects are how long they stay and are they clicking your ads (if you have any, which I don't)."
When I began researching my first book, A History of X: 100 Years of Sex in Film, I read, enjoyed and quoted Susie Bright on porn. Over the past week, we exchanged our first emails.
I even wrangled this endorsement from her: "[Lukeisback.com] is a treasure trove of history/gossip/controversy about the porn industry."
Women Aging Gracefully - Ericka Lockett Returns
Women Aging Gracefully
I had coffee Monday morning with a 46-year old woman wearing braces for the second time in her life. She said she didn't want to look like a "snaggled-toothed hag" one day.
I believe that porn stars who've spent more than ten years in the industry, such as Jenna Jameson and Nina Hartley, are examples for women all over the world of how to age with grace and dignity.
The self-confidence that it takes for a woman to perform sex on-camera in her 30s and 40s shines through. My friends and I never cease to be inspired.
I believe the typical age of a porn star is about 19. The average length of a career is a few movies. Out of 100 girls who do a porn scene (for the internet or for DVD), about half will never do another one, and only about one girl out of the 100 will be still making porn in a year.
Aging is easier on men. Many men look better as they age while most women look their best between 16-19. Men aren't important in heterosexual porn (except as props). They don't sell movies, but they do tend to have longer careers. The nature of porn work, however, is more conducive to beying young whether you are male or female.
As a woman, particularly, you have to have such a unique sense of your own looks and your own stardom to perform in porn for years. Either that or you become addicted to the money, fame and lifestyle, and that addiction overwhelms your good sense. Not that any porn work is conducive to maintaining one's dignity, but to keep doing porn in your 40s is weird.
Depending on how much you party, a year in porn can take as much toll on the body as ten regular years or more. Generally, porn stars age fast while pornographers and most consumers want fresh 18-year-old meat.
The most interesting interviews come from people fresh to the industry before they're indoctrinated with the party line.
I bet that 90% of women who stay in porn for more than three years are primarily lesbian in their sexual taste, and one reason they stay around is to get constant access to fresh hot females.
Few porn stars are going to save enough money to live on for more than a few months despite making dozens of movies (at an average of $800 a movie). There's more money to be made in escorting.
Do filmmakers offer porn stars benefits? Yeah, some do. Some, such as Digital Playground, offer health care to their contract stars. Some managers make their porn stars save a certain percentage of their porn income.
Why is Jenna Jameson such an exception? Why is she the biggest porn star of all time? Because of her looks, her quality of work, and the savvy way she was promoted.
'I haven't lit anything myself in over a year'
James DiGiorgio comments on garageglamour.com about an IM conversation I had with Holly Randall Friday: "Here's and extract from an IM convo between a friend of mine and Holly Randall. (Suze Randall's daughter.) He published it on his blog. I found it amusing, more so as Holly is a photographer who makes a VERY good living shooting for some VERY big men's magazines. Some of you might find it amusing as well... maybe even enlightening."
DBA1 writes: "That is pretty amusing! I mean, how could you be around that stuff all your life and not go into any shoot with total confidence? I'm actually a big Holly Randall fan..... now I'm kinda crushed I still think she is a HOTTIE tho I sent her an email once through her site. Told her I wanted to come down and photograph her Ya know, she never did get back to me Oh well, maybe you could put in a good word for me jimmy With all those assistants running around doing everything, I'm sure I could snap one or two good ones!"
David writes: "Playboy dot com had Jenny McCarthy shoot some stuff a while back as one their "celebrity" photographers. She was "amazed" that photographers make what they do, it was all just point and snap (assistants lit her stuff, too...why risk getting unpublishable images?). I wonder if she'd have told Pompeo Posar that to his face (he did her gatefold shoot)."
Photopro34 writes: "Reminds me of the scene in prete-a-porte (spelling?), ready to wear in english. I remember the scene with the "world famous" photographer that walks into the room, tells everyone to say cheese, trigers the camera (with a cable release..lol) hands it back to his assitant and then walks out. Now that I actually shoot, its that much funnier...lol. Just goes to show.....anyone with the "right hired hands" can be famous. Although...I suppose I should give proper credit on this one....I didnt do the lighting either...the sun was my "hired hand" for the day."
Andy Pearlman writes: "Before everyone gets all bent out of shape thinking that those of us with assistants aren't doing any work, let me point out a couple things. First, its our butt on the line if the shoot doesn't work. The client doesn't sue the assistant, they get pissed at us if they don't get their shot. Second, usually (not always though) we were assistants and paid our dues, or at least set up our own lights for a long time, which is how we know where the lights are supposed to go, and when its not working. Third, I learned years ago that especially on a big shoot, the kind with clients, mutiple models, motorhomes, grip trucks, etc, I don't want to be a grunt. I need to be able to think creatively, and its frankly a waste of my energy to haul power packs up four flights of stairs (as one of my assistants had to do more than once). It may sound aloof, but being able to just have that stuff get done (somehow, by someone else) does let you concentrate on the job, the models, the client, the "shot"."
James DiGiorgio writes: "I make my living with cameras in my hands--whether video cameras or stills cameras--and i often have assistants. I'm 100% with ya on our time and energy being better spent on things other than schlepping gear. I light my stuff. Someone else might be doing the grunt work, but i'm calling it and i'm reading my own light meter. On vid shoots, for instance, i've had more than a few gaffers get pretty pissed at me cuz i go and tweak their work. but like you said, it aint the gaffer or an assistant or a grip or whatever whose gonna get an ass-reaming by a client."
JT Smith writes: "One reason I am not celebrity struck or tear driven acknowledgement of just being a solid image creator. Another is how important the business is vs all the artistic technical fluff. On the other hand, a lesson in a stuck in a rutt and relying on others that you forget everything else and couldn't shoot your way through by yourself if your life depended on it. How weak we really are and the importance of "team" work is, and not stuck on yourself saying look at me look at me. How directing and communication is just as important to photography as photo equals light and graph defines the image. I actually applaude the guys honesty. To recognize the scenerio, to be humble and truthful to himself."
Carpe Imago writes: "I agree with JT that it is actually very honest and refreshing to know that some of the big guns find themselves uncomfortable and full of self doubt from time to time. I guess the difference is that the great ones find a way to work through it and get their groove back."
Holly Randall says: "My assistants set up the lights, but I make the final decisions. I decide what kind of lighting I want, they just do it for me."
I ask Holly about her porn photography aesthetic. She says she likes the "leggy pin-up style" and she likes to be "edgy."
I'm going to start writing Holly's press releases. How's this? "Holly Randall's mom Suze makes the best tomato soup and grades a mean road. Slut School is hot too. You won't feel dirty afterwards. No women were abused in the production of this movie."
James DiGiorgio writes me:
I dunno, Luke. I think I'd call her on the "edgy" comment. She's a good shooter and she certainly has huge shoes to fill. It helps, of course, that she gets to shoot the top-of-the-line porn and glamour girls and she gets to do so with great hair stylists and make-up artists working their magic and in cool locations with assistants making it all easier to accomplish.
I took a tour of her site and, while I can readily see the "pin-up" aesthetic in her work, I couldn't find a single image that i thought qualifies as "edgy."Bbut then, "edgy" is one of those over-used PR-type words; like when people say they're pushing "envelopes" or taking porn to new "levels."
Holly tells me: "I'm talking about MY work, not the stuff I shoot for my mom. If I showed you my work from school you'd see what i mean. But no one will see that stuff because I don't have model releases."
I think Holly's edgy (I have not seen her porn work beyond a few photos, I don't care to), but then, I also think the Moody Blues are edgy.
Remembering Anna Malle
Erika Kole writes:
Luke, I've been wanting to write you about Anna's passing. I hope this isn't too late. I met Anna at ECVS 2001.
I was staring at her from afar, my pussy getting wet, my eyes growing wide, my heart filling with desire. I worked up the courage to go over and say hi when she threw me over her knee spanked me, and invited me to her orgy party. She wrote the info for the party on my ass and later that night I was staring at it fantasizing about what was going to go down. All I can say is that it was one of the most beautiful and erotic nights of my life. Anna Malle has always been my personal favorite porn star; I'll miss her always.
One more thing: I agree 100% with you on The Divinci Code. I don't know why so many people say that book changed their lives.
Porn Star Karaoke Rumor - 'Luke Is Gay'
I want to nip this in the butt.
My damage control team has swung into high gear. I'm going to bring a date Tuesday night (sorry Jason Sechrest, not you again, people would talk) and who knows, maybe engage in a little public making-out and some aggressive hitting on chicks until I'm thrown out of the club. Anything to head off these disturbing rumors about my sexual orientation.
I guess singing Air Supply's Making Love out of Nothing At All is right off the agenda.
I thought I was only exhibiting professionalism with my coolly detached manner. After all, what's the point of dating women, no matter how beautiful, who don't follow the dictates of the Bible? Now it seems that rumors of faggotry are all I get for being a mentch (and the odd free bottle of water from my male admirers such as Oliver Bone.
Holly Randall was a great beard for me for a couple of months (I didn't have to do anything degrading such as sexually pleasure her, all she wanted was conversation and cuddling) but then I threw a hissy fit on New Year's Eve after she kissed a man I wanted RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
Yes, I know that writing in all capitals is gay.
Jason and Luke in happier days (before Vicky Vette came between us).
I have a mate of mine from childhood who's a professor in Australia, Roger (a happily married man of 40). Over the past 12 years, he's visited me in LA five times, but never in a gay way.
As we walk along the bluff overlooking the Santa Monica Bay Sunday afternoon (it's the first time in 14 years I don't watch the Super Bowl), Roger keeps stopping to take a new photo. "It's hard to walk ten yards without seeing an even better shot," he moans.
"That's the problem with sheilas," I say. "Every ten yards (particularly in West LA), there's a better one."
"Sheila" is old Australian slang (an endearing term like shiksa) for a fair dinkum woman.
"You know you're gay when you can't walk ten yards without moaning about how beautiful the landscape is and how you must take a photo," I say.
"You know you're gay when you see Brokeback Mountain and you like it," I say. Roger loved the movie. He accuses me of being homophobic for refusing to see it.
I suggest that this area would be a great place for a same-sex commitment ceremony for a friend of his.
"You know you're gay when you refuse to see a great movie simply because the lead characters are gay," Roger says.
The sun sets as Roger and I walk along.
"Don't walk so close to me," I say.
Roger gets a stranger to take a picture of us. The man hesitates. Roger suspects that he halted because he thinks we're gay.
I don't smile for pictures (unless it is genuine). That's gay.
"There's nothing gay about appreciating nature," says Roger. "Shove it up your ass.
"You're the one whose emotional inner life has been crippled because you deny the truth about your nature. You have to keep pumping away at women to deny your inner truth.
"Jewish people don't know where your torment began. But I know. I know the deep layers of repression you developed in Seventh-Day Adventist school."
"No matter how cold it gets tonight, I'm not sharing my sleeping bag with you," I say.
I ask Roger if he likes Sex in the City.
"Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't do it for me," he says.
"I'm trying to have an intellectual conversation with you and you must reduce everything to wank fodder," I protest.
"Now you're being the true wanker," he says.
Roger waxes lyrical about relaxing effects of landscape photography.
"I find nothing relaxes me more than a good wank," I contend.
Roger says he gives a lot of credit for his marriage to his wife.
"So would I," I say (without ever meeting her).
"In all my life, I've never slept with a woman without talking to her for at least an hour first."
"You're a traditionalist," says Roger. "You're old-school."
After four hours of walking, talking, eating and drinking, we're buggered.
Here's a straight guy's guide to watching Brokeback Mountain:
Step 4: Follow the tent rule. "Brokeback Mountain" is top-quality filmmaking, and you should enjoy it in its entirety. But if you start to feel panicky -- as if you might hop to another theater and watch "Glory Road" -- simply follow the Heath Ledger Tent Rule. Every time Ledger's character, Ennis, crawls into a tent, take a trip to the restroom or refreshment stand, and make sure you're gone for at least three minutes. If you do that, then "Brokeback Mountain" is pretty much like watching an episode of "Will & Grace."
Has my buddy Rob who sent me the above link gotten over the Brokeback hump? "No. I'm no homophobe it just looks like a renter for me. I prefer car crashes and explosions in my films. Maybe Vin Diesel should do a gay action flick? Cross over to a new audience."
A friend calls: "Dude, what got into you today?"
Luke: "My karaoke post?"
Friend: "Yeah. Weird."
Luke: "I try different things in my writing."
Friend: "These people at PSK are so nice to you and you do this. It's not funny.
"You know what is gay? It's walking along the beach with a guy and referring to him as your mate.
"If you want, I can get you on Jason Sechrest's KSEX show and he can blow you."
Luke: "No thanks. I may be homosexual in thought but never in deed. That would be against my religion."
Jane writes me: "You are gay, aren't you? I thought you were my one gay friend. Every girl needs a gay friend. Let the rumors fly. Embrace the rumors. But, I thought you did hit on "slutty chicks who don't observe the Torah": -- isn't that part of the cover up?"
James DiGiorgio writes: "You should stick to the hard-boiled porn-journalism and leave being funny to guys like me. That's not to say you're not sometimes funny but it's usually when you don't mean to be."
Fred Salaff On His Panamanian Ordeal
He writes on ADT Jan 24 from Panama City, Panama:
I have just registered on this site to answer directly and first hand any questions you may have about our case in Panama. Some questions that I have seen come up:
Did Devils Films hire you? Yes, I was hired by Mike [Rubinstein] as was Sebastian Pujos (Tristan Seagal). We both received money before production (I have the bank wire confirmations as evidence). I also have emails from Andy, the in house production manager for Devils in which he gives me payment schedule details.
Yes, I spent (along with Simone) 7 horrible months in the worst prisons imagineable. Pujos promised me after I agreed to accept all blame (very stupid on my part to have trusted him) that he would get Mike to cover my legal expenses, go to the world press, scream and shout about our situation! But he never did anything effective that any of us saw. He abandoned his friends and the actors Yanick Batiste, Joerge Jopke, and Patrick Zabka. Stefano and I are still suffering needlessly in an absurd case.
The only thing we are charged with is corruption of minors, although there were no minors involved at any time. We are charged with knowing that kids could climb a neighbor's tree and look over my 10 foot wall and get corrupted!
If anyone sent in donations to my legal defense fund while I was in jail I can only apologize if thanks were not made by my well meaning friends. Since I am out, under country wide arrest, I personally thank each and every donor, no matter the amount. Unfortunately, donations are very small towards the legal bills, which are over $50,000. This figure is actually quite low compared to US standards but represents a lifelong payback for me and another blow to my sanity.
If anyone has ever read Kafka's "The Trial" they only need to know my story to know that novel of the absurd. Please ask me any questions you care to and for heaven's sake please keep asking Mike Rubenstein why he abandoned us.
Fred Salaff writes Feb 5:
Latest news in our case is that the judge sent the file back to the prosecutor saying that there is nothing to the charges! We knew that all along and so did everyone else. So, now we wait until the prosecutor gives up and throws in the towel. Hopefully, this will come soon and we will free once and for all.
I can feel we're very close because the Attorney general of Panama was quoted last week of saying that the country's prosecutors did not know how to run investigations. She also visited the prison where I was held and declared that indeed there were gross human rights violations. All this comes a year too late for me and Stefano Simone!
Taking a porn star home to mom
Let's say you're an average, boring middle-class white guy -- maybe an accountant, a salesman, an engineer. You are given the gift of being able to choose a porn star to pursue a serious long-term relationship with.
The only consideration for the purpose of this hypothetical, aside from the given that you find her attractive and want to have sex with her, is that, when you take her home to meet Mom and Dad, she has to be able to comvince the folks that she's a very sweet girl who fits into your middle-class existence.
In other words, based on how she presents herself to them, they won't even remotely think about associating her with porn, stripping, escorting, drugs, etc. To them, she could plausibly pass as a young, attractive, intelligent, white- or pink-collar worker.
Based on personal knowledge or what you've seen in on-screen interviews, which performers do you think would present themselves to dear old mom and dad so that they wouldn't have a clue?
MyAdultGroups writes: "Julia Ann, Teagan. Those two come to mind, because they don't have 'the porn look'. Their hair colors are normal, they wear a slight trace of makeup when not working, and don't wear 'porn clothes' when not working. I saw Julia Ann at the Venetian sitting in front of a slot machine and she totally blended in as a tourist. I only recognized her when I saw her face."
Tampa Bay's War On Friction Dancing
PORN king Bob Guccione has had his £22million home repossessed as he battles bankruptcy. The founder of Penthouse magazine once worth around £200million is almost skint, say sources. Now he has been kicked out of his 70s-style New York pad, complete with mirrored ceilings, gold chandeliers, indoor pool and marble floors. Three-times wed Guccione, 75, who has battled throat cancer, failed to repay a £14million bank loan.
It is a HUGE HUGE hit for epassporte. It surprises me that paycom has dealt a blow like this to Chris and Epass. That's why I'm curious as to why more people don't care about this. It doesn't make any sense to me. This is big news.
Paycom's former CEO Chris Mallick owns and runs Epassporte.
Greenlab writes on GFY:
Most of you dont know the real deal behind Epassporte. Did you ever wonder why everytime someone from epass was posting in threads, they claimed that epassporte has hundred of thousends of users.
The main scope of existence of epassporte is the issuing of debit cards for chargeback balancing. It worked like this till now -- every member that signed up through paycom (or other processors) for a site membership, were given an epassporte Gift card. It works like this. Paycom is giving you a membership to site xxxx for free, as long as you are a member of site yyyyy. In order to process your membership for site xxxx, we are giving you an epass Virtual Visa Gift card. The membership costs $29.99/month, however, paycom will make sure that the $29.99 will be deposited everymonth onto your visa gift card. Actually paycom/epass were crediting your epass visa gift card with $29.99 every month, and then in 30 secs, they were billing the card though one of designated merchant account, with a cost of just the processing fee (discount rate).
By billing huddreds of thousands of cards like this, there is now wondering why their chargeback ratio is very low, and they still allow cross sales without any problems...(have seen sites with 2 pre-checked crossales). So this is the biggest reason for epassporte to exist, and this is why it was created -- the issuing of plastic debit cards and affiliate/webmaster payments are done just to make epassporte look compliant in the eyes of Visa, as this gets lots of $$$$ volume and they can claim that the main purphose of their service is not the issuing of "gift cards" - and that they are actually a 100% legitimate issuer.
Do you think that there are more that 10,000 webmasters that get payments by epassporte? There is a huge distance to the hundreds of thousents cards that epassporte is claiming they have issued (and they are telling the truth here). The rest are just "Gift Cards" and they are trying to offset this by the funds that get moved by affiliate programs and the use of debit cards for widthrawal in all countryes arround the world. However, thay have gone too far and visa is getting quite close on them. The trick is somewhat similar to what ibill does with gkard, but the Epassporte trick is much more stable and intelligent.
Shap writes:
I had an interesting talk with a big well-known webmaster at internext regarding paycom. One thing we both questioned was how a company as successful as paycom could make the money they've made and not make a SINGLE improvement to their stats interface in more than 6 years. From the looks of it (on our end) Paycom has re-invested little back into their business in the last few years. Why would a company as successful as paycom not try to improve their product? Or at least their interface in 6 years? Why Did they let their big gun and industry face Chris Mallick leave? How does it happen that an employee like Amparo with many clients that depend on her leaves the company and her clients are left in limbo with no sales rep for months? From my point of view paycom has been cashing checks and not looking towards the future but looking to milk this baby as hard as they can today.
Andrej-NDC posts: "Don't forget 24/7 email support like ccbill offers. They reply within minutes and Paycom isnt able to reply within days sometimes. That's why I stayed away from ibill btw, because of the lack of support. CCbill doesnt allow pre-checked cross sales, etc...They look more towards the future and did so the past few years. So even with more clients, they will have less problems like epoch would have in the same situation."
Aly posts: "Nobody's 'booting' anyone, Shap; when the ownership of the two entities was split they had an agreement that Paycom would maintain certain services for a while, which was pretty decent of Paycom if you ask me. Now the contract has ended here's hoping ePassporte has it's ducks in a row. This isn't a surprise of any sort to them though so one would expect that they would."
Brad Shaw posts: "Paycom support has been horrid for a long time. But I did get a nice piece of Tumi luggage and some Bose headphones. CCbill treats us 10000x better, and only gets 10% of our business. Unfortunately with our business model, we have to be more aggressive then CCBILL will permit, or I would have been long gone long ago."
She emails me Sunday night: "I saw your web site. Neat stuff... Why aren't my room mate (Jenner) and I on there? I worked for Rob Spalone a couple of times and my most popular movie is one he shot. Let me know what it takes."
I give her my phone number and a minute later, she calls.
Bailey: "I'm so glad I stumbled across your website. It's neat."
Luke: "How did you find it?"
Bailey: "I Googled my old roommate's name (Trinity Harding) and your [entry] popped up first. Everything you said seems accurate but she's an exaggerator. I started giggling when I read it."
Luke: "She's a kick. She said she saw all this death and destruction in Iraq."
Bailey: "She must've come back a little crazy from it."
Luke: "Do you think she went to Iraq?"
Bailey: "She was in the Army for four years. Whatever death and mayhem she saw as a post office worker, I'm not sure."
Luke: "Were you the roommate she had the falling out with a couple of months ago?"
Bailey: "Yes. For good reason. I tried to be nice. She just couldn't pay the rent. When I read her statement that she had done over 40 movies in four months... She's done seven. If she did 40 movies, she could've afforded to pay the rent.
"We shared a hotel from October [2005] until we had an apartment in Beverly Hills for two weeks before I kicked her out."
Luke: "How did you get into the Adult industry?"
Bailey: "I started out as an executive assistant to a porn director, producer in Huntington Beach. He's an icky person. He told me that I was a hag and that my boobs were too big and that my red hair wasn't going to cut it.
"When he didn't give me my first paycheck, I left.
"Anita Blue introduced me to her agent (Steve Pomeranz of Adult Faces), who thought I was fabulous and got me work in three days. He started it as a hobby. He's a mainstream photographer.
"All of the girls who worked [for the Huntington Beach director] were being abused or he was not paying them, or whatever... About eight of them called me and came over to AdultFaces.com with me.
"Now I'm also with worldmodeling.com.
"I did my first scene on Sept 26, 2005."
Luke: "You've got red hair."
Bailey: "My natural hair color is light blonde but every girl in California seems to be blonde."
Luke: "What led you into the Adult industry?"
Bailey: "The money. I like sex. It's the safest sex I've ever had because everybody's tested. It gives me a chance to be my inner freak."
Luke: "Were you a sexual freak before this?"
Bailey: "I was, but I wasn't promiscuous. I was a good wife. I've never cheated on anyone."
Luke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?"
Bailey: "A forensic pathologist. I'm interested in medicine. I love helping people but hate customer service. So helping dead people, that was my eight-year-old logic.
"I went to college pre-med but ended up getting degrees (BA, MBA) in International Business instead (from Mississippi State).
"I was an IT buyer for the Department of Health & Human Services. When my contract ended, I became an IT buyer for Hewlett Packard. I worked for a few Fortune 500 companies.
"I grew up in Phoenix. I moved to California at age 16. I started modeling in Arizona when I was 14.
"I grew up in a poor family. I paid for my own college. College is so cheap out there [Mississippi]."
Luke: "Where's Trinity Harding these days?"
Bailey: "I think she's in Hollywood shacked up with a waiter.
"After I kicked her out and had the locks changed, she became homeless.
"I was really nice to her at first. I will take care of somebody if they're trying, but she wasn't trying. She blew off lunch with a photographer and our agent so she could have a nooner with a waiter. She was showing up drunk at sets.
"My family took her in for Christmas. Her family is back East or they've disowned her. My parents bought her jewelry for Christmas. They made a stocking for her. She blew off my family to go have sex with another waiter. That was my breaking point.
"Jenner is my new roommate. He's done about 200 movies. He's just gone back to New Mexico to visit his wife and daughter."
Bailey has done 26 scenes.
Luke: "Why don't you work a real job?"
Bailey: "Because the money I make doing porn working about 18-hours a month is the same as using my degrees and working 18-hours a day. I get to watch my children grow up now."
Luke: "How is this going to affect them?"
Bailey: "They're [boys ten and thirteen] finishing up their school year [in another city], so it is not affecting them at all. I'm trying as much as possible to shelter them from it."
Luke: "They're going to find out."
Bailey: "I figure that either they or one of their friends with a fetish for MILFs [Mom I'd Like to F---] will find me at one point. When that happens, we'll have the conversation.
"The only person I don't want to find out is my mom, because when she finds out, she'll tell everybody.
"I don't want my grandparents knowing that I do porn."
Luke: "How will your ex-husband react?"
Bailey: "He's one of my biggest fans. We're good friends still because of the boys. He has a girlfriend and a baby. I'm happy for him. He's the only person in my family who I've told."
Luke: "How has porn affected your love life?"
Bailey: "I still [swing?] quite a bit. I haven't had anybody get grossed about what I do. I haven't seriously dated or had a boyfriend since I've gotten into the industry. I don't really want one."
Luke: "How do you anticipate this affecting the rest of your life?"
Bailey: "I'm taking it with a grain of salt. I'm not ashamed of it. I'm only expecting good things from it."
Luke: "What do you want to get out of it?"
Bailey: "When it's no longer a novelty, no longer fun, when it's just a job. When I'm counting on it to survive. I'll get into something else."
Luke: "What do you want to receive out of [porn]?"
Bailey: "I'm not expecting anything from it other than the notoriety for a fan base and the attention that comes from it is fun. Jenner and I were at a comedy club the other night and we ended up signing autographs.
"I'm not expecting anything harsh or too detrimental from the industry. I just want to give back and make people happy."
Luke: "How do you feel about escorting?"
Bailey: "I've been asked to do it. I think it's scary. Whether or not I would do is still up in the air. It's not legal is it?"
Luke: "No."
Bailey: "Going to jail and risk losing the responsibility for my children, I can't say I'd do that."
Luke: "How do you spend your spare time?"
Bailey: "I'm an adrenalin junkie, but I'm afraid to do anything aside from sky diving and bungie jumping and stuff like that."
Luke: "What do you love and hate about growing older?"
Bailey: "I hate my wrinkles. I enjoy the knowledge and patience that comes with it. I don't have that young girl diva attitude. There's nothing I won't do in the industry. So long as I'm not going home with a black eye, I'm game."
Who Owns MetroTalentManagement.com?
The porn star Malibu is fronting it but I wonder if the owner is Blaine Hensler aka KBH Duplication Lab & Damaged Pictures, or am I just wrong?
Monday morning I got a call from KBH. According to Blaine himself, he does not own Metro Talent Management.

Powell's, the world renowned bookstore in Portland, hosted a book signing for the coffee table friendly "Sex Machines" which pays homage to the garage variety inventors trying to build a better vibrator.
The book prominently acknowledges Homegrown Video (www.homegrownvideo.com) as the distributors of the first video series to feature sex machines and president of Homegrown Video Farrell Timlake was in attendance to help field questions from the standing room only audience.
Afterwards, the author Timothy Archibald, some of the inventors like Allen Stein from Thrillhammer and other lucky guests enjoyed a party featuring many of the machines in action at the Portland cam studio of Homegrown Video.
