'You're Just Jealous'
That's a common response by porners (and by people in general) to unanswerable criticism.
Ask Kami Andrews -- Check Your Head On ADT
Dear Kami- I have an unusual problem, I have lost a lot of weight and look great! You may wonder why this is a problem. The girls at work are all jealous of me because now their boyfriends want me more than them! Maybe they should quit whining and do my diet. Healthy eating and exercise can help anyone! Anyways I look great but feel terrible because they have quit socializing with me. How do I let them know that even though I'm a hotty, I'm not a threat? As a side note I have a HUGE influence on these girls performance reviews so it's stupid to act this way to me! I deserve better! Love, Hopeless in Jersey
Dear Hopeless -- You may look better on the outside but you're still a great big fat bitch on the inside. My mom used to always tell me the cool kids were "just jealous" but I'm not your mom and I won't lie to you. If the only friends you have are people you hold power over at work you really don't have any friends. I feel so bad for you I'm gonna grab some key lime pie. Bottom line, stop worrying about your bottom and start worrying about the bottomless pit your soul fell in. Kisses, Dr. Kami
Are circumsized guys better shooters?
Not only are circumcised guys better shooters, they are better lovers, have more stamina and their sperm is much more likely to produce male offspring. Furthermore, they are smarter, wittier, and faster runners. They tend to be stronger as well as better suited to solving complex tasks. They make better professional athletes in all sports, and better astronauts as well. All in all, shedding that pesky foreskin frees a man to reach his full potential.
Dakota Cameron: 'The Government Is Killing Our People'
I call Dakota Saturday night.
Dakota: "I heard that Derek asked the Cameron twins if they said what you printed. Derek said it was not accurate. The twins denied saying it. The funny thing is that right after it was put up, they knew it was posted. People are weird.
"They were supposed to have their first shoot Friday and the director (Vince Voyeur? New Sensations?) wouldn't shoot them because they didn't have their nails done. Maybe I should undo their last name Cameron. I'm not sure I want them related to me anymore."
Luke: "Wasn't Katie sick?"
Dakota: "No. She was asleep [when I called]. They're good girls. They're naive."
Luke: "They better do their nails next time."
Dakota: "They asked me if it was hard to be a porn star. I was like, as long as you don't smoke crack or do speed. All you do is go to the tanning salon, have your nails and hair done, and shave and have good hygiene."
Luke: "Do you think that might be too much for them?"
Dakota: "It might be too much for a guy. If that's too much for a woman, then God bless their soul."
Luke: "What are you reading these days?"
Dakota: "Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You to Know About by Kevin Trudeau. There are ways in there to prevent everything, 250 natural recommendations to cure life diseases. It talks about how all the food the government produces is poisoned because they want it to be addictive. The government is killing our people. The government says that if he talked about a vitamin called coral calcium, they would sue him."
Mary Carey says me Mar 4: "Because of your website I have been getting tons of emails on how Harold is bad, and advice, and offers from new boyfriends and people wanting to help. Maybe Holly, Harold and I could convert to Judaism together? Would you help us?"
'Don't Look So Sad'
When you live alone, work from home, and spend on average, 23 out of 24 hours alone, you are not as aware of your moods as you are when you must constantly bounce off someone who cares for you.
I clomped to my club Saturday wearing an old musty-smelling t-shirt and my rust-colored sweater beneath my undertake suit, and for the next three hours read books before heading downstairs to lunch. I filled my plate with several helpings of desert, then made for a corner table.
My popular outgoing acquaintance "Joe" joined me. He asked me what was new.
"I need help with my shiksa addiction. I need an intervention."
Joe: "Why don't you intervene with yourself?"
I'm trying to get worked up into a pity party but he won't let me.
"This shiksa spent about eight hours preparing a meal for me Wednesday night," I boasted. "She couldn't get that I was a vegetarian who did not like vegetables. In the end, she emailed my mom for a recipe and then ended up preparing a lentil casserole."
Joe: "Lentils are a vegetable."
Luke: "No, they're not."
Joe: "They're legumes. Legumes are vegetables."
Luke: "No, they're not."
Joe: "They are vegetation, yes or no?"
I'm about to clobber the guy but eventually yield that they are vegetation.
He gets seconds.
When he comes back, I stare icily and moodily straight ahead.
He breaks the silence and points to Dara Horn's new book: "How did you like The World To Come?"
"I hated it."
I poured out my wrath upon writers who've abandoned traditional narrative for fancy surreal academic exercises.
Joe said he largely agreed.
Then he got up to socialize.
"Don't look so sad," were his parting words.
Shiksa Stacey writes my MySpace: "Shiksas...that is how it is spelled, okay! Yeah, why is it that you are drawn to that which you say you want no part of? Hmmm...I think someone's next novel should be entitled "Jew think you know me, but Jew don't". I hope you find what you are looking for Mr. Ford...first step, STOP obsessing over you know who!"
Robert Jensen Vs. Porn
Ira Levine aka Ernest Greene writes on Nina.com:
I find Jensen's work morbidly fascinating. He seems quite sure about what goes on inside the heads of all kinds of people, gay and straight, when it comes to sex, but deeply confused about what happens in his own. You've almost got to pity a movement that looks to this guy for intellectual leadership.
He's also, BTW, extremely disingenuous when it comes to disclosing his own sexual orientation depending on the audience. He speaks as a gay man to other gay men, but when he writes about het porn for the general public, he never mentions this fact or how it might color his view of material clearly made for those whose most profound tastes he does not share. What does this say about his intellectual integrity?
I certainly think it relevant that I have a dominant BDSM orientation when I discuss porn and my views of it and let people know clearly that that's where I'm coming from. If I don't freak out over the level of aggression displayed in some (though by no means all) kinds of porn that are considered voguish at the moment, I would never deny that my response is conditioned by regular exposure to higher levels of sexual aggression than most people in my personal life.
What you get from me is a kinky guy's perception of reality. But what you get from Jensen is whatever he would have you believe about him in order to make his bizarre ideas somehow credible, even if it means projecting a completely false, or falsely neutral, persona. He's not just any sensitive guy looking at porn. He's a guy who's coming from a very particular place, and it would be good of him to come out of the closet and admit it when he presumes to speak for populations to which he does not belong.
Bring A Girl Into Porn, Make $500
According to this thread, LA Direct pays $500 to somebody who brings a girl into porn. Gold Star Models and other companies pay about the same amount.
MyAdultGroups2 writes: "I read that Derek got the Cameron Twins an interview over at Vivid the other day. Considering that they are just starting out and Vivid's position as the number one adult film studio, that is a fantastic. Why don't you focus on the positive instead of the negative?"
Bob replies:
...[I]ntelligence doesn't insulate a tyrant, either of the large or small variety, from being brought down.
When picman ironically cited the fate of Mussolini, the ultimate purveyor of efficiency (which is the quality for which Hay seems to be admired), myadultgroups2 responded: "I doubt it. Derek is way too smart."
So is Derek Hay too smart to be undone by his own arrogance and ruthlessness? If you were to ask Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, they'd tell you that such hubris is the classic recipe for downfall.
Porn Stars: Why they make bad life decisions
I've been thinking a lot about why people do they things they do, and more so why people (mainly) women enter the porn industry. I posed this question to the appropriate government officials and they granted me funds to do a study on the subject shortly after I returned from first stint in Iraq. I guess the guilt COAH places on us all whenever we decide to pick a girl to jerk off to for 10 minutes and disregard her shortly after, without giving a second thought about the person we just emptied our balls to, began to wear on me.
So I began reading articles and interviews from past pornstars and managed to ask some of the current porn stars questions relevant to the study. Then the pieces all fell into place, now there isn't one reason for all people who enter the industry, BUT there was one that came up in 8 out of 10 performers.
Hollywood's glamorization of the porn industry.
This is the reason why 80% of the porn performers are in the industry today. Among the performers i was able to question that entered the industry after 1999, 76% of them said the movie Boogie Nights was the strongest factor behind their decision to enter porn.
This was a shocking discovery. I went out and bought the dvd and watched it no less then 5 times, taking notes with each viewing, trying to pinpoint different parts which could seem attractive to people considering the life altering decision of entering porn.
Then I realized, there isn't any one point, because the movie is nothing like the industry itself, its a dangerous piece of propaganda, which has destroyed many young lives.
I'm hoping this thread can clearly show the difference between the industry in reality and the industry in the movie boogie nights, in the hope that if one young, innocent attractive girl who was considering entering porn after watching Boogie Nights can see what it's really like, and then make an informed life decision rather then one based on fiction.
David at Mypornoreview writes on XPT:
In porn like the real world, blacks are always crying discrimination. They are discriminated because they keep on crying. "We are owed this mentality" is the reason why the majority of them do not succeed. You don't see Hispanics or Asians crying discrimination in porn or the real world. I'm tired of hearing blacks bitch that we owe them. They want reparation for being enslaved. Well wake up!! Many races in history have been enslaved. The only repayment I'd give them is a one way ticket on Air Amistad back to Africa where their own kind will kill them.
William Hyde writes:
First off, the very idea of criticising porn for being racist is absurd. Pornography routinely features women (and men) in situations which are degrading and dehumanizing. All in the interest of portraying taboos that will, presumably, arouse the viewer. Why would the taboo of racism be exempt? If pornography can exploit our fantasies about rape, incest, and pedophilia... why shouldn't it also exploit our racist fantasies?
I don't have a problem with porn's obvious racism. It's just a fact of life, and really just reflects the racism in society. If a performer thinks doing an interracial scene will hurt her marketability, or has personal reasons for not doing it... that's her business, end of story.
Foxxx Modeling Ad On Craigslist
Go to the link and see If u like some model, then let me know If you like to do a movie with the model you choose either for private use or release. The catch is that you have to pay the models fee for the shoot. Then I will make it happen, easy as that. It doesn't matter how old or what shape u r, if u have the money then it's possible. Remember u can keep the video If it's for private use. Let me know.
I don't get any fee If u give me the rights to releas the video for website use BUT If u don't want it and just want it for yourself and private use, then I will charge you 100.00 fee for my work. Remember I have the tools to make it happen. Think of 2-3 hours of sex, just like u see in the porn movies, WAY BETTER than spending money on providers who rush u as soon as u cum plsu u never know how good they are. If interested, reply.
Luke Gets Mail
Jane writes:
I just read your article on DesiRaye. She's pretty delusional and should have listened to her agent. She is not ugly, but within the Los Angeles black girl niche she is very average and hence is not the sort of girl who is going to be booked solid on a brief trip to LA. Her agent is right, the majority the studios who put out ethnic themed product do not produce quality product and once a girl appears frequently those films, the better studios will not be as eager to shoot her.
DesiRaye's attitude is not that uncommon. I call it 'The Jenna Effect' where girls come into the industry and feel that they can become the next Jenna Jameson by having an attitude and always demanding to get their own way because they think that they know exactly what needs to happen for them to get to the top. That is not how it works in porn. A bad attitude is the kiss of death in porn.
Another day in the life of Beautiful Models International.
PORN: The San Fernando Valley's OTHER Film Business
How easy is it to become the new Larry Flynt? Very.
Take a look at Matt's Models. Matt (we don't know his last name) has a website. And a camera... and a modest home somewhere near Universal Studios.
If you're a decent looking female, Matt will give you a few bucks. IF you're willing to remove your clothes. Then he'll invite web-surfers to pay a small amount to subscribe to his site to view his handiwork with the digital camera (you can see some of this if you Click here. It's a brilliant business plan. Virtually no overhead, and nuth'in but profits. Matt's as much a pioneer in the business of filmaking as Culver, Loew, Laemmle or Mayer. When you think about it, a man and his camera isn't too far removed from the modest beginnings of the (future) movie moguls and their Times Square nickelodeons.
As old as the industry is, it's amazing how it continues to thrive and evolve. With or without clothing.
Dam Beck & Co Buys Erotic Expo
It will be held May 19-21 in New York City at Penn Plaza Pavillion.
Time Case writes Mike: "You pull a young South American girl out of the crowd at the Tampa Show; months later you wind up shooting her for Genesis Magazine. Harry Weiss spills a spoonful of matzoh ball soup on his shirt, and Mary Carey shows up on KSEX. Steve Seidman bets on the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl and Dennis Hof suddenly winds up on the Tyra Banks Show. Luke falls for Holly...Tawny falls for Mary...Kendra Jade knocks out Cassidey. Jesse Jane gets married...Regan Anthony's ass goes on the auction block...but it's Kurt Lockwood's ass that's getting all the attention."
Mike responds: "I have gone a bit GaGa over Giga, but I won't turn this site into Gigaisback like hollyisback has done."
Maya Hills Retires For Love
She met a guy in porn and fell in love with him and decided (partly at his prompting) to leave porn.
I interview both sides Friday.
Tayler's Talent has arranged two interviews with porn stars for me -- Maya Hills last December, and Desiree Feb 20.
DesiRaye is now with Exotic Talent Agency.
She writes me Mar 1:
I just got a chance to read the interview that i had with you. I would just like to say that I am no longer with Tyler's Talent. That company greatly misrepresented themselves and it showed greatly when we went to L.A. this past week. I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me, even though Brian was upset because i was telling you the truth and that i wasnt saying what he wanted me to say to you. The question that you asked me about racism i can be honest when i talked to you, i didnt understand where you were coming from with that, but as I stayed with Tyler and went to L.A. it became more clear.(For Brian to be Jewish, he has his nerve to be a racist!) I am with Exotic Talent Agency, and I am on their site. I got with them in L.A. Yes, I dumped Tyler's Talent for Exotic Talent. It's a long story and a good one too! (If you're ever interested, I can tell you everything!!!) Sooo much stuff happened, and I'm glad to be rid of them.
She calls me at noon Friday.
DesiRaye: "You sound different from when you interviewed me."
Luke: "You sound different. What happened between you and Tyler's Talent?"
DesiRaye: "When I met Tyler, I was under the impression that she owned the company and ran it. Actually, she's just a robot. Her boyfriend Brian, an old fart, does everything. He tells her what to do. He tells her what to say. He tells her what to email. He treats her like crap.
"Brian tried to get me not to go to LA. He claimed he didn't want me to spend the extra money and not get any work. I knew I could go there by myself and get work without him.
"I found out Tyler couldn't go to LA because she's on probation for drugs. Her probation officer told her she couldn't go. So Brian had to go.
"I don't think he tried anything to get me work. He concentrated on the other two girls -- Ivy Wynn (who got chlamydia and couldn't work) and Maya Hills (who had gonorrhea and couldn't work).
"Maya went off on four or five directors. She went off on Brian about guys coming to the house.
"He went to drop one girl off at a shoot and left me at the house all day by myself. I didn't have a ride to anything. I just ended up calling this guy at this other agency and he came and got me.
"They're unprofessional. You have to pay them 15% commission. Then they charge you extra for gas, car rental. They always want to go to expensive restaurants. I'm trying to save money. I don't want to spend $20 on a meal. I didn't pay anything. I just left him.
"They're trying to talk Maya into staying in the business because she makes them the most money.
"My roommate, this other black girl (Ryan Ryenolds) who was there, left them for Naughty Talent.
"Brian was supposed to take us to meet people and we ain't meeting nobody. How are you going to introduce us in the middle of a shoot?
"They don't tell us what we're getting into when we go on a shoot. When we get there, we find out it is something different."
Luke: "Did Brian treat you in a racist way?"
DesiRaye: "I think he was because he was more concentrating on Maya and Ivy. Ivy got her own room. The white girl got her own room. But I didn't say nothing.
"He was badmouthing the companies that do African-American movies. He said, 'I don't want to get you work with them because they don't produce quality work.'
"After I started with Exotic Talent, he got me work the next day and every day. He had directors come to the house to meet me.
"The pictures that Brian had to show people were the worst pictures.
"When we were at the airport, he wouldn't talk to me. He was always talking to Ivy.
"When I was interviewing with you, he was telling what to say to you."
Luke: "You sound different today than when I interviewed you [Feb 20], because when I interviewed you, you wouldn't say more than two sentences."
DesiRaye: "Because he was down my throat.
"I'm not ashamed of what I do, but I'm not going to disrespect the military. For the military, porn is not morally right. You're not allowed to have porn overseas. I'm not going to disrespect the military by making me the poster child for the military."
Luke: "How were the four shoots you did?"
DesiRaye: "Some of the guys who've been in a while are assholes. I got to meet Brian Pumper. He's an asshole. I didn't work with him, thank God. He's arrogant."
Luke: "You're saying Brian and Tyler didn't care about you?"
DesiRaye: "Right. When I called Tyler (26) to tell her what happened, she didn't call me back until three hours later. She acted like she didn't know what was going on. But her and Brian (43) talk on the phone 50 times a day, so I know she knew what was going on."
I call Brian at Tyler's Talent Friday afternoon.
Brian: "Desiree came recommended to us by a website producer. She needed more work. She agreed to work with us.
"She came to Florida. She had no good shots. We had nothing to pitch her. She had a bad bad attitude. If you remember doing the interview with her, I'm sure you got the feeling..."
Luke: "That something wasn't right."
Brian: "We took pictures of her. We pitched her. We used favors to get her jobs. There wasn't a lot of stuff for her."
On Feb 16, Brian emailed his list: "This is Desiree: She is stunning in person. As mentioned just got back from more than a year fighting for our country Iraq with the Army. Open to everything including Anal."
Brian emailed his list at least three times promoting Desiree.
Brian: "Tyler sat Desiree down and said, 'You've got to change your attitude. You're going to be out in LA with three other girls and you can't be like this.'
"The whole flight [to LA], she did not say a word.
"I am the most non-racist person in the world. My dear friend is an African-American. We've had three African-American girls on our roster. There's not a racist bone in my body or in my fiance's [Tyler] body.
"After we got off, we had to go to a couple of meetings. I couldn't bring her in.
"She offended Maya. She walked into the house we were staying at slamming doors, and never came out of her room. Maya and Ivy Wynn were going, 'What the hell is wrong with this girl?'
"It got to the point where Maya didn't even want her in the house. [Desiree] was just so rude about everything."
Luke: "Desiree says Tyler is your robot."
Brian: "That's just Desiree. It's like her saying I'm racist. She stayed in our house for a week. Somebody is reaching.
"We had a lot of problems during our last trip to LA. We knew we were leaving early. I called other agencies, such as Gold Star Models, to make sure Desiree was taken care of."
Luke: "Is Maya Hills getting out of the business?"
Brian: "Yes. Maya came to us a while ago and said she wanted to get out of the business. We said, get out of it."
Luke: "You didn't try to talk her into staying?"
Brian: "I listened to what she said and asked her questions. I never said she was a fool for leaving the business.
"Maya became like family to us. She moved a mile away from our house. She was here all the time.
"All of a sudden, one day, it was like snap. She does a shoot. She meets this guy. And she's in love. And now the guy who is in the business has talked her into quitting.
"'Maya, are you sure this is what you want to do? You are used to making $16,000 a month. You are going to go back to living with your mom and go to school? How are you going to make money?'
"Maya says she'll work at a bar. She's doing her own thing.
"Sometimes, because of the [probation] situation Tyler is in, she's not able to travel.
"We came home one day in LA after I'd tried to arrange these things for her, and she was gone and all of her stuff was gone.
"On a scale of one to ten, with ten being the worst, she was a nine for attitude. She was impossible to deal with."
Joanna Angel Starts Her Day With Alcohol
I call her at noon EST. She sounds mellow. She's sitting alone in a room and drinking red wine.
Joanna: "I'm reading Disco Bloodbath: A Fabulous But True Tale of Murder in Clubland. It's making my life exciting. It's about New York City in the late nineties when everybody dressed like a club kid. People would go to clubs dressed like peacocks and put dots on their faces and sequins. I'm going to start dressing like that. I'm just going to wear a feather on my head and a thong.
"I've been, I don't want to say depressed, but where you want to keep to yourself.
"Reading the book, I feel like there are all these exciting things going on.
"I don't really do drugs anymore. Reading that book makes me feel like I am on drugs again. That's pretty exciting. It takes me to a different place. It makes me feel like I'm at a party."
Luke: "What about going to synagogue? Isn't that like doing drugs?"
Joanna: "It's kinda like it. I haven't been to synagogue in a long time. They probably won't even let me in there anymore.
"I used to go on Yom Kippur, but then I had to cut that out because everybody there makes me feel weird.
"When you're little at a synagogue, you have a crew of people you hang out with and you sit in the bathroom and try to keep out of services and you all eat lunch at someone's house afterwards and your parents are friends... All those people in my synagogue crew got married and had babies. Every time I'd go, they'd all look at me as though I was some monster. 'God, she was the weird one out of all of us. Look at what happened to her.' That made me uncomfortable. Then it would make my mom depressed that everyone from my crew was married, and had babies, and was overweight, and wearing wigs and long clothes. She wanted me to be like that.
"I got interviewed by a few people [at Tristan Taormino's party Sunday night]. I got interviewed by some guy from the New York Press who at the end of the interview said to me, 'I really want to be in one of your movies.' It made me feel funny. I was like, 'Well, uhh, I don't know.' I was thinking, 'If I don't say yes, does that mean he won't print the interview?'
"It was a strange moment. I would change the subject and it would go back there somehow."
Luke: "He kept bringing it up?"
Joanna: "Yeah."
Luke: "Who else interviewed you?"
Joanna: "I don't remember names. Is that bad of me? The only journalist I remember is Luke.
"I'm drinking alcohol in the afternoon. Is that bad? Red wine, so it doesn't really count. I went into the other room. I didn't want anyone to see me."
Luke: "How often do you do this?"
Joanna: "Whenever I feel like it."
Luke: "It's time for an intervention."
Joanna: "How are you going to intervene when you're on the other side of the country?"
Luke: "I'll call for volunteers on lukeisback."
Joanna: "Over my one glass of wine?"
Luke: "You've been drinking a lot. I'm gonna call your parents."
Joanna: "Please don't. My mom will go nuts."
Luke: "I want to encircle you with people who care about you and say, 'Joanna, we think it is time you stop drinking and stop doing porn and stop getting tattoos.'
Joanna: "My family saw my first two tattoos but they don't know how many more I've gotten in the past year. We were all supposed to go to Costa Rica together and I told them I couldn't go because I didn't want them to see me in a bathing suit. I know my mom's going to freak when she sees all my new ones. I told her after I had two that I was going to stop. I don't like it when my mom gets upset. She's really emotional."
Luke: "Has anyone been groping you?"
Joanna: "No. Maybe I don't have the same charm that I used to."
Luke: "How do you feel about growing old?"
Joanna, 24: "I'm not old. If I start to look ugly, I'll get plastic surgery, though that usually doesn't help.
"I have to go to Texas for a week for the South-by-Southwest film festival. I have to speak on this panel on building buzz."
Luke: "You just have to say my name."
Joanna: "Exactly. I don't know why they asked me to speak. Also on the panel is the guy who started Nerve. I interned for Nerve during college. That's where I got the idea for Burning Angel. The owner used to treat me like an intern. He made me run around and do stupid s--- and he'd look down my shirt. Now I have to sit next to him and talk about buzz-building. And the guy who started Paypal.
"On Friday, VCA and I are throwing this big party for Joanna's Angels 2."
Luke: "What a crazy world we live in. What a great country this is where Joanna Angel can be on the same panel as the founder of Paypal and talk about buzz-building."
Joanna: "I might be writing a column. We could sit up late at night and brainstorm together."
Luke: "It'd be like Sex in the City."
Joanna: "With no sex.
"Do you really think I am the best looking girl on Burning Angel?"
Luke: "Definitely."
Joanna: "Most people think Kylie is."
Luke: "She doesn't hold a candle to you.
"You've got a really large vagina."
Joanna: "I thought you didn't look at porn?"
Luke: "I don't. Somebody told me."
Joanna: "Who?"
Luke: "Holly."
Joanna: "She was probably looking at it in a matter-of-fact way.
"I've never seen Holly's vagina. It must be really small and compact."
Luke: "And tight and warm and inviting."
Joanna: "Come on, Luke. This is none of my business."
Luke: "How bit it is is [your business], but not the texture?"
10 myths about adult entertainment laws
By Gregory A. Piccionelli
1. Because the U.S. Supreme Court has enjoined the enforcement of the Child Online Protection Act (“COPA”), there’s no risk of prosecution for distributing explicit hardcore material in the free area of a website.
2. Federal record keeping and labeling laws do not apply to the Internet.
3. You can legally hire people to perform sex acts in photographs and motion pictures throughout the United States.
4. Offshore entities can shield a person and their business from criminal prosecution.
5. Explicit hardcore adult content can be directly distributed legally to mobile handsets without a credit card “firewall” or similar mechanism to exclude minors from accessing the material.
Derek Hay Makes The World A Better Place
When the girls need something Derek is there, his office staff is amazing and from years of being independant in the jiz biz I can definately see how derek has changed the business for the better! You have to have a strong personality to deal with all the different challanges the jiz biz has to offer. Why don't you try it, see what happens. I work as an agent in that office, it is intense and at the end of the day there is a lot more porn in the world because Derek gets the girls to the shoots, on time, ready with ID's and tests. So see Derek really is making the world a better place, don't you see it?!
I get a call: "When people are in a cult, they get brainwashed. They talk about how their leader is their god. They're blinded by the realities of the world. Yet, when they make it out, they talk about how miserable it was and how controlling."
Jim South - Brandon Iron: 'We're All Good'
Jim South Jr replies to Brandon: "It's been so long since we have heard from you, we pulled any paper work we had. So you're all good."
Brandon responds: "Thanks for the good news. I was worried after Luke wrote me quoting that your dad felt I owed money. If I do, I will pay it. I like to keep things free and clear. Thanks, man. Hope all is well."
I hate to be the cause of discord.
Porn Cook-Off
Mary Carey calls me Thursday night from Hickory, North Carolina.
Mary: "The strip club has really strict rules. I'm paranoid. I did my first show sober. I was a fairy. It's not fun. I can't touch my breasts on stage. I grab my boobs at the grocery store.
"My legs are bruised.
"Have you talked to Kendra? I hope she forgives me. We're doing a duo act in two weeks.
"I want Holly to cook for me."
Luke: "Are you sure?"
Mary: "I can't cook at all. I bet Holly cooks better than me.
"Did she really take the time?"
Luke: "She spent hours finding a recipe, trying to find the ingredients..."
Mary asks Harold: "Would you cook for me for five hours? Luke's girlfriend did that for him."
Harold says sternly: "Luke's girlfriend did that for him."
Mary: "I take my clothes off for money instead.
"You should give me and Holly recipes and we'll have a porn star cook-off and see who does the best.
"You've cheered me up. You're my psychologist."
Luke: "But Jesus is your co-pilot."
Mary: "How did you get here from Australia?"
Luke: "By plane."
True, not a single obscene term is to be found in the whole of Lukeisback.com; indeed, the robust philistine who is conditioned by modern conventions into accepting without qualms a lavish array of four-letter words in a banal novel, will be quite shocked by their absence here. If, however, for this paradoxical prude's comfort, an editor attempted to dilute or omit scenes that a certain type of mind might call "aphrodisiac" (see in this respect the monumental decision rendered December 6, 1933, by Hon. John M. Woolsey in regard to a book), one would have to forego the publication of Lukeisback altogether, since those very scenes that one might inepty accuse of a sensuous existence of their own, are the most strictly functional ones in the development of a tragic tale tending unswervingly to nothing less than a moral apotheosis. The cynic might say that commercial pornography makes the same claim...
Dr. John Ray writes me:
As a case history, Holly Wood will become, no doubt, a classic in psychiatric circles. As a work of art, it transcends its expiatory aspects; and still more important to us than scientific significance and literary worth, is the ethical impact the book should have on the serious reader; for in this poignant personal study there lurks a general lesson; the wayward child, the egotistic mother, the panting maniac -- these are not only vivid characters in a unique story: they warn us of dangerous trends; they point out potent evils. Holly Wood should make all of us -- parents, social workers, educators -- apply ourselves with still greater vigilance and vision to the task of bringing up a better generation in a safer world.
Dearest Holly, I am holding in my hand the sceptre of my passion and I'm thinking about your lentil casserole (for which I have sold my birthright).
2cums writes on XPT: "When Holly is filming, I still can't picture her yelling out "OK. Its time for the cumshot now.""
Holly Randall responds: "You'd be surprised at the sick words that come out of my mouth."
William Hyde responds: "Surprised, and no doubt deeply aroused."
Renfield writes: "Your horse is amazing Holly."
Holly responds: "Aaaw sad... he's an old horse and he's in retirement, which is why he wanders around the ranch loose, grazing all day. He was a beautiful horse back in his day, but he doesn't have many years left in him now."
Zenman writes: "That pic of Holly has more stroke value than practically anything else you see around. I have Holly-wood."
DanG writes:
I'm sure it's the same for your mum too, only more surprising because she looks so nice and harmless. It would be a blast (not to mention extremely educational from a photographic perspective) to watch her at work!
Also Holly, I must pick you up on a comment you made a little while back, about how you never light anything and just have your assistants do it for you...does that include the bong/hash pipe too?
Does your mum still shoot on Nikon by the way? My guess is yes, because I know Luke does, and buying the same brand camera seems like the kind of thing he would do to ingratiate himself with your folks... I only ask because I'm about ready to splurge on a pro-end DSLR, and with two exceptions, most of the pros I know in the UK are pointing me at the Canon 20d (or better, with L glass), but I'm a bit of a contrarian (Mac user...that sort of thing!) so I'm feeling the pull of the Nikon for some reason. I guess I don't like to do things the easy way...
Now, tell us more about the lentils...as a recovering vegetarian, I know the flatulatory consequences of those little buggers is quasi-lethal.
Holly responds: "When we shot film we shot exclusively Nikon for all those years. But now that we've switched over to digital we shoot with a Canon 1DS Mark II -- Hustler required that if we go digital, we had to shoot with the 16 megapixel camera. But we shoot on a Mac platform, and then our RAW images are processed into PC-friendly TIFF files and JPEGS."
I get an irate call: "One of the Nasty Boyz is 55 years old and he's married. How can he be out looking for chicks? That is a fraud. A boy is under 18. Here's a 55 year old, Chris, dealing with a cheerleader. It's disgusting.
"If you went out looking for chicks on Holly, she'd knock you on your balls."
'VERY IMPORTANT !!!! From Mytchell Mora formerly from Fox News'
Hello Luke, I don't know much about your sight or the adult industry. But my situation is dire. My name is Mytchell Mora and I work as the publicist to the Open Your Eyes Magazine (www.oyemag.com). Before that I worked for 7 years as a co-producer to Fox News Los Angeles. I'am very proud of my career and my accomplishments. If you type in my name, you'll also see that I'm an activist in regard to the country. Weeks ago, people started telling me my name popped up under my name (mytchell mora), in regard to an adult actress name 'Kara Mynor.' I have NEVER met this girl I DON"T KNOW WHO SHE IS ... and she is slandering my name and career, by the merely mentioning my name. I've had FOX News, USA Today, The Los Angeles Times do stories on me... and now my name comes up on you site?? That is wrong, I mean NO offense to you and your business, but I have NOTHING to do with your business or the business of even knowing this lady. I ask you to please remove my name. I hope it doesn't cause too much trouble? If only someone would of made a call to my magazine or myself, I assure you it wouldn't of gone this far. Please help me. I thank you. Mytchell Mora
Normally I'd try to help someone in this predicament, but this Mytchell Mora just seems so self-important and absurd, I had to publish the email as an example of how not to ask for help.
Here's where Mytchell went wrong:
* Don't write in capital letters with lots of exclamation points if you want to be taken seriously.
* Write with your recipient in mind if you are asking for a favor. So only headline your request "Very Important" if that request is going to be very important for your recipient.
* Spell and punctuate correctly.
* Make your request as small as possible. If I were Mytchell, I would've asked only for a dash to be substituted for a letter in either of my names, so that "Mytchell Mora" did not show up in Google in reference to a porn site. Changing things to "M-tchell" ain't no thing.
* Don't announce that you know nothing about the person you are writing to and nothing about his work. If you are going to ask a favor, you should learn about your subject.
* Don't talk about yourself unless the person has expressed specific interest. I have no interest in Mytchell. Thus I find it absurd that he prefaces his request for a favor with a long list of his accomplishments.
* Don't claim that your name on an Adult website means your "situation is dire." Don't overstate. It ruins your case. Don't claim it constitutes "slander."
* Don't live in a fantasy world: "If only someone would of made a call to my magazine or myself, I assure you it wouldn't of gone this far."
* Don't put your most important words last. Mytchell should've opened as he ended: "Please help me."
Here's the piece in question:
Kara Bare's Appearance On MTV's Next
Haha. They put that I masterbate 3 times a day on national television. No.. I did not get a chance off the bus. I was pretty pissed off when the chick who one said "The other girls on the bus aren't too girly." But it was fun to watch. Haha. I have an audition this weekend with my regular modeling agent Mytchell Mora for another MTV show. Don't know the details yet though. Yeah.. I am doing regular modeling things for the time being. Mytchell is a great agent. He dropped me this summer while I was on speed. But now that I am drug-free (which is honestly the way to be!).. He is willing to represent me again. I'm doing so great today.. I think my medication is working well!
Dakota Cameron Moves Out From Her Cousins Katie, Kelly
11:25 am. Dakota calls.
Luke: "How's everything between you and Derek [Hay]?"
She gives a guilty laugh.
Luke: "How's Lisa Ann?"
Dakota: "Derek sent her as a driver to take them [Dakota's cousin Katie and Kelly] to their Vivid meeting."
Luke: "What are you doing?"
Dakota: "I'm moving out of the house at 11:45 am. We moved in last night."
Luke: "Why?"
Dakota: "I can't be in a house where Derek can control my living life and my money.
"The house is under my name and Derek's.
"Some s--- happened last night."
Luke: "What?"
Dakota: "I had an argument with Derek."
The cousins laugh in the background.
Dakota has Kelly tell me what happened. Derek is the agent for all three girls.
Kelly: "They got in a big fight last night because of her moving in with us. We had one of my good friends here last night and Derek wants control. My good friend doesn't have money. She needs to get a job. Derek just wants to take total control of everyone. They got into a fight. Dakota stood up for herself."
Dakota: "Don't tell him that."
Kelly: "She just told him he's a hustler, that he hustles all the girls, and that she is not going to be hustled by him.
"My sister [Katie] and I want blond hair but we are not allowed to have blond hair. We have to have brown hair with blond highlights. So we're dealing with that.
"Derek tells us what we're allowed to do.
"We're not allowed to have boyfriends. We're not allowed to touch our hair without him knowing."
Luke: "Does it feel good to have a man taking control of your life?"
Kelly: "No.
"I'm not going to fall in love and get a boyfriend because my last one hurt me. We broke up in September [2005].
"I'm getting into porn because I want to be famous. Yeah, I want revenge on him too because he was always looking at porn on the internet and I hope my sites pop up and scare him."
Katie is put on the phone. She says she's sick. She sounds horrible.
I ask Dakota: "Do you have to do anal?"
Dakota: "Please. I'll do girl-girl anal, but I save the good stuff for home."
She returns to work March 8 (after her breast job of two months ago).
Dakota: "Kevin Ducati, production man, tells Kelly that Jessica Drake [and the following statement is not true] has AIDS. That fool [Kevin] is telling me not to bring the girls to Derek."
Was Mary Carey Drunk On Set Tuesday?
Mary replies: "No, I was tired and stressed out. I had taken sleeping pills at 4am and was on set at 9am, so I was still tired. Call me Luke, I miss you."
Mary's boyfriend Harold calls me at noon. "I got away from Mary so I wanted to give you a call. I feel bad that yesterday I called her blue. She was only blue because she was drinking so much red wine that her face and mouth were purple.
"The [porn] movie [Tuesday] doesn't upset me. It's that when I walk away, she's got to call other people. She can't be alone without her doing something behind my back. The way she goes about is so sneaky."
Luke: "Even though she did the movie without a condom and let some guy come in her mouth? That doesn't bother you?"
Harold: "Oh well. Whatever. This is the first time I've had to deal with it.
"She likes performing in front of the camera. She doesn't so much enjoying the sex. She likes that people are looking at her and getting off on it."
Harold says monogamy is important in their personal life. "She'll do her six movies a year and that's it.
"It's easy for me to be monogamous. It's the way I was raised. I could never imagine cheating.
"Mary won't drink for a few days, then she'll go on a binge for about a month."
I call Mary Carey Thursday night.
Mary: "I'm about to dance naked for a bunch of people. We're pulling up to the strip club now.
"I want to become Jewish. I hear it's a long hard process. Can I come to the temple with you?"
Austyn Moore Leaves Adam & Eve
"Just wanted to let you and your readers know I chose to leave Adam&Eve as of March 1 2006 and am now a free agent!," she writes me.
A porner writes me: "Austyn is very cute but that boyfriend/husband is around too much, it stifles my erections. Will she be doing boy-girl?"
Adam & Eve publicist Kay Zvolerin writes me: "Austyn’s contract with Adam & Eve was up on March 1. We mutually agreed not to renew, but would love to work with her again and wish her the best with her career."
Austyn calls me back at 5:05 pm.
Luke: "So what happened?"
Austyn: "As of March 1, I had the opportunity to get out of my contract. I decided to do what was best for me."
Luke: "Why did you decide to get out of your contract?"
Austyn: "There were certain things we couldn't come to agreements on. I'm better by myself."
Austyn appeared in eight movies for Adam & Eve, finishing off her last one Tuesday.
Luke: "Will you be doing boy-girl?"
Austyn: "I've had so many offers. I haven't made any decisions."
Luke: "What do you love and hate about the industry?"
Austyn: "The best part is going to signings and taking pictures with people. That's satisfaction. Making movies is fun.
"Companies love you, love you, love you, but if you're a little bit ambitious and want to achieve things to the highest point, they are taken aback. If you have a half a brain, they don't know what to do. They want you to be pretty and to show up on time, but if you're semi-intelligent, they're scared by that."
Luke: "What are your ambitions?"
Austyn: "Buy an island and bring a keg full of Coors Light. I'm kidding.
"I have tons of ambitions. I'd love to direct and produce and have my own line of movies. I have a clothing line I'm thinking about doing. I'm going to sit back and regroup and think about how it is all going to come about."
Luke: "How are you different from when you entered the industry a year ago?"
Austyn: "Geez, Luke, what's with all these questions? Can't you send me a preview?
"I've learned that you can't always believe what you hear. This industry is smoke and mirrors. I've learned that I am the only one who is going to look out for myself."
Luke: "What are you doing with your time these days?"
Austyn: "I'm hanging out with my dog. He's the coolest guy on the planet and he has unconditional love for me.
"I'm not a crazy drama queen. I'm not into gossip."
Max pays a lot less, from what I've been told. But he often gets girls who have done less than five scenes, so they don't really know any better. He's got a pipeline to the sleaziest agents who take a sick thrill in feeding their young, supple charges into the gaping maw of depravity that is Max.
The trick with Meatholes, though, is girls have to know to ask for more $$$ and not settle for cab fare. But maybe Khan and his crew eat healthier (asparagus, broccoli, garlic) rather than swill beer. The funny thing if you've seen enough of those clips, is that for all the freakouts, half the time the girls (like the Nauticas ...) get treated like Daddy's little princesses. They get what they came for (the Everhard dick and the green paper) and they just have to snicker at an ethnic joke or two and wave to Mom.
The Joys Of Domestic Bliss
I call KB. "Holly cooked me dinner last night. She spent hours on it. She emailed my parents for a recipe."
KB: "For Australian food?"
Luke: "I'm finicky. I'm a vegetarian who doesn't like vegetables."
KB's girl Katie is frying up bacon in the background. She says they just had sex in the closet.
KB: "What did she cook you?"
Luke: "Some lentil dish."
KB laughs.
Luke: "She probably spent five hours preparing it. It wasn't very good."
Though dry, it was still 100 times better than what I could've made for myself. And the salad was good. I asked to take the lentil leftovers home but she'd fed them to the dog.
KB: "What did you get out of it?"
Luke: "I got a headache. She was always calling and emailing me over the ingredients and over how much trouble this was causing her and how long it was taking her. We didn't get to eat until 9:30 pm."
KB: "Maybe she's just not a cook."
She's not used to cooking vegetarian without vegetables.
Katie's lived with KB in San Diego for eight months. They met July 14, 2005 at the Players Ball party.
Luke: "Do you slap Katie (AbbyPage.com) when you're having sex?"
KB: "Are you kidding? I choke her out."
Luke: "Does she ever pass out?"
KB: "Nope."
Katie: "I've done it before with other men."
Luke: "How do you make sure the girl does not pass out when you choke her?"
KB: "I do it with love.
"I'll teach you when I see you in person next. I'll take you by the neck.
"I almost called you at midnight two nights ago -- Air Supply was on Jimmy Kimmel. Not only were they all out of love, they were all out of talent. They looked really gay."
Holly writes me: "You know, it didn't take me 5 hours to PREPARE the food-- you made me sound like I was slaving in the kitchen all that time (for a meal you didn't even enjoy), when you know I spent most of the time sitting in traffic and running from store to store to get all the ingredients. And I also find it interesting that you wouldn't admit to my face that you found the food a little dry, even though I said it was, but you'll tell the world on your site what a crappy cook I am."
Amalek writes me: "I'm concerned that she is leading you down the slippery, well-lubed slope to both Paganism and omnivorism. I thought [her email] was sweet and yearning. She is trying so hard to please you and we both know how hard it is for the young woman to please the aging bachelor. Do you know how I know that you never totally committed to this Jewish business? Your diet. No real Jew eats like Adolf Hitler used to eat. Tell her it was me saying those nasty things. Blame Amalek. The Jews always do."
Cindi Loftus writes me:
Luke, Holly took probably 5 hours to cook a dish that is totally foreign to her. It would be like you cooking lamb chops from scratch with instructions on a piece of paper. ( Imagine what that would taste like, ugh) And you have to throw in, though dry and then compliment her. Now I know Holly has thick skin. She would have to, to have her dating life lived out on your site. (although, I had never heard of her until you started seeing her, so great publicity, and I am now doing stories on her movies!) But why couldn't you JUST give her the compliment? Why did you have to put a little dig in there first? Is it a passive aggressive thing, or a way for your anger at her to come out, because she is not exclusively yours? If I had made you the food, rather then Holly (who has your sexual interest), would have you been more polite and said it was great, and appreciated all the time spent shopping and preparing, forget about E-MAILing your parents, geez, you don't ask too much. It just seems like you are testing her and waiting for her to fail, so you can find a reason not to be in love with her. Or at least to tell yourself she isn't what you want, but frankly I think she is what you want, but she won't conform to your stringent standards. She has opened you up so much, and made you more of a free thinker. Is that so bad? Maybe that is what you really need. Some one that helps you grow! Next step in your growth... Now let Holly make you a steak for dinner, what is the worst that would happen? God won't strike you dead for eating a bit of cow. Does it say in the Bible somewhere that you can't eat meat? I don't think so. Plus aren't you the one that thought we were all ridiculous when there was a lot of press because someone lost their dog? So we know it isn't an "animal rights" thing. Let Holly open your mind just a little more. And when she makes that steak, close your eyes and enjoy, don't you dare say, though dry.
Dakota Cameron Moves In With Her Cousins Katie, Kelly
I call Dakota at 10 am.
Dakota: "We just moved in together. Last night was our first night. Do you want me to wake up my cousins so you can talk to them?
"Kelly, wake up. It's Luke."
Kelly, 21: "Yeah, I'm really related to Dakota. I've known her all my life.
"Tomorrow is our first day -- a boy-girl scene."
Luke: "How did Dakota talk you into doing porn?"
Kelly: "She said it's fun. We were horseback riding and we started talking about."
Luke: "Do you think Dakota is a good role model?"
Kelly: "Yes. She's my idol."
Kelly, who lost her virginity at 17 while camping, has been with seven guys in her life and one girl (not her sister). "Only two [guys] with my sister [in the room]. We didn't touch each other."
Luke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?"
Kelly: "A model."
Luke: "Did you have much porn in your life?"
Kelly: "My boyfriend of four-and-a-half years would rather look at porn than touch me."
Luke: "How did that make you feel?"
Kelly: "Like s---. I would always catch him jacking off on the computer. It sucked for me.
"I guess I was so in love with him that I just dealt with his s---. I'm afraid to fall in love again.
"I loved that we could do anything in front of each other and not feel embarrassed."
Luke: "What do you do in your spare time?"
Kelly: "I go to the mall. I get my nails done. I drive, clubbing.
"I'm a nurse's assistant."
Luke: "How are your parents going to react to your doing porn?"
Kelly: "They're not going to care once the money starts coming in."
Paris Dahl Gone From Porn
She shot one boy-girl scene with Julian for suze.net, then got pregnant, purportedly by her boyfriend who supposedly works for a fast-food chain.
I find it heart breaking [that Hannah Harper, Derek's ex-wife, is with LA Direct Models].
I have worked for LA direct as a performer and with LA direct as a Director so I feel like I'm "in a position to talk" not to mention I'm feeling reckless as of late.
As a performer I worked like crazy with them, and I was happy, I made a LOT of money and had great camaraderie with all the girls. I learned a ton and had a good time. I am not a traditional beauty and really think the only reason I had any sort of career was LA Direct. When I started with them they had maybe 20 girls, they recruited me off one model place.
My complaints at the time all began after Hannah moved out. The agency got really big really fast and over crowded housing and *hours* long waits for rides became the norm. They stopped taking me on go-sees and that was a small portion of the problems.
For the year and a half I was there I always paid my rent up front and my commission on time, 80% of the time before I was even paid for the job, but they would pick up my checks, forge my signature and charge me a check cashing fee and take the commission themselves and give me what was left when they felt like it. I keep better track of my money than a lot of porn chicks and this really pissed me off. I called Derek on it and he freaked out: "Are you accusing me of doing something illegal?" I told him I don't give a fuck what he does, just stop doing it to me.
I went home from that trip and never went back to work for them. I went under contract with Extreme and when it ended I wrote Derek and asked him to take me back (so obviously things couldn't have been that bad) He said no. I didn't blame him when I left there I was hysterically crying in the office, I was pissed about them holding my money and I later found out Derek felt like I was threatening him. so whatever.
As a director I used him to book a girl for my first movie through Kevin, he has a lot of great girls and they DO always show up no matter what, in fact this girl showed up even though she should have been at a hospital.
On my last movie I wanted to book one of their girls. I called about 2 weeks out and asked if she had American ID's and was told yes, so i placed the booking. I had another english girl booked through gold star and when I asked the same question about the ID's they emailed me a copy of the girls english passport and American drivers license, I showed this to my company and asked if it was ok, I was told no, because the girl was not legal to work in the US, if she was she would have a certain stamp on her passport or a work visa. I cancelled this girl and Goldstar helped me find another girl.
Then I call Direct to see if they have has this stamp, (this is the very day after I booked her and 2 weeks from the shoot). She doesn't. I'm told she got married and will have a social security number soon, but not in the next 2 weeks, i tell them i can also take an EIN, but she doesn't have that either. I tell them I have to cancel her. At this point he could have booked one of his other girls with me but that's not the path he chose. Derek calls me back and says this is bullshit this has nothing to do with 2257, I tell him I know but she is not legal to work in the US. He says I'm being stupid and that I have to use her. I tell him I can't and that I will not be able to get paid if my paperwork is not legal and he says. "Then I'm sorry we won't be working together anymore." He banned me from using any direct model girls. Fine. I was only able to do two movies last year and it doesn't look like I'll get many more this year so they didnt lose a lot of business from me. It was just Derek trying to bully me into using a girl (who by the way was getting $500 more than any other girl Ive ever used).
It was possible for Derick to let me pay his corporation for this scene but he didn't want to do that. he was right it had nothing to do with age verification per say, it had to do with a girl working in America illegally with no intent on paying any taxes. So he's gone kinda power crazy and I will have no dealings with them any more. Keep in mind I was totally willing to work for him again after my extreme contract (that I didn't negotiate through him) and he turned me down so we did have a history.
Mike South writes me:
Kami's account of Derek is consistant with what I have heard MANY times before the part that really gets me is how Derek cashes the checks for them. Too often I have heard of him bringing in foreign talent who left with NOTHING because he wouldnt give them the money they earned. What are they going to do sue him? Report him to the labor board. The problem is people are scared of him and wont go ON the record. I know people who detest him and his practices but absolutely will not say anything bad about him on the record because he will cut them off from his "talent." I would NEVER book through him because of his practices. I am not interested in contributing that that particular style of doing business. I tried to out him but couldn't get anyone to talk. Kudos to Kami for standing up. He will take just as much advantage of each girl as he can get away with. Ask around.
Picman writes on ADT:
For all the people who feel that the bottom line is always the bottom line, and that the guy is ok because his girls are punctual and reliable, I want to remind you that Mussolini was reknowned for making the trains run on time. In the end he was left hanging by his heels, turned on by the very people whose lives he supposedly made better.
They don't owe me any money and when i left i got everything i was owed.

I don't feel that the ladies will turn on him, because he makes them too much money. Also, I do not think that he'll be an agent forever, its merely a stepping stone to bigger things.
Why are non-employees of LA Direct Models complaining about the 'work conditions' there? That should be the territory of the actual models employed there. Some like Dillan Lauren have had their say, but the majority of the girls have been silent. LA Direct has the largest talent pool in the Valley and that speaks volumes.
I think it is the amount of money Derek is making that is bothering people more than anything else. He's been able to leverage the skills from his prior career in the music industry into creating a porn powerhouse in a relatively short period of time and some people are exceedingly envious.
Khan Tusion Interrogates Naomi
This is just shtick right? I remember well the lessons of my brief unfortunate puritanical turn on Taylor St. Claire years ago. And Luke printing this interview at his site and me re-printing it here is without any real merit as it only serves to further anger those who hate Khan's style of pornography, bore those who feel this is nothing new, and embolden his supporters while also offering the curious an incentive to go to the website and possibly purchase a membership to see the scene (the Rob Blacks and Kahn Tusions love this kind of advertising). However, I can't help but be troubled by this interview and the verbal and physical manner in which Naomi is totally degraded, from the anti-Semitism to the slapping and grabbing her face and neck even though she states that she doesn't like it. Then it causes me to wonder why two LaDirect girls are being sent to Kahn and if either of them knew what they were getting into (my anti-Ben English feelings boiling over). However, then I think about the fact that Naomi not only went along with everything, overly oohing and aahing during the sex like she always does, but she even referred to her Jew asshole getting fucked. Thus, it would seem largely staged. Staged or not, so many of the porn industry's sins can be traced back to a basic fundamental failure to treat the women involved as human beings which seems to be caused by an insidious hatred for women that is spread throughout the industry (and in today's society and thus in many consumers).
I am reminded of The Paradox of Pornography by Robert Jensen. The same week that John Leslie creates his ode to Naomi, Kahn created his as well. It's like seeing two extremes played out, Leslie and the era he comes from against Tusion and the era he lives in. Or is it? Leslie's era saw him as the dirty talker, a character whose purpose it was to dominate women to the ends that they could become more sexually liberated, like with Bridgette Monet by the end of Talk Dirty to Me 2 . That was in a Reagan-era context.
Some might read this interview and feel protective of Naomi, arguing that she might have been afraid of leaving, having to pay a kill-scene fee, dealing with Derek Hay after that, and worried about getting work again which is why she stayed and went with it. However, Khan is so perfect and calculating in his persona and line of questioning in the interview and is so overly offensive that this seems too perfectly degrading to not be staged to some degree. For instance, he mentions that Naomi's only getting paid $300 to let a guy (Alex Sanders) cum in her asshole. Naomi offers no objection, but unless LADirect has managed to ruin her career at this point there's little chance that's what her actual rate is for a non-condom anal scene ending with a creampie. Plus, he uses the N word to refer to her ex-boyfriend, resorts to a Holocaust comment to get his anti-Semitic theme across, flat out calls her a liar, and interacts with her physically in a manner she claims to not enjoy. Naomi stays, goes along with it, and performs the sex like she normally does.
I feel like I should be too smart to even have started this thread (hey, I'm the Catholic League and Khan Tusion is Dogma), but I read the Paradox of Pornography essay and then read that interview and I'm suddenly struck just how depressing an indication of society pornography can be (is)-that which is ideally (and sometimes actually does serve this secondary function) about the liberation/exploration of sexuality is instead a product of pure capitalism predicated upon the subjugation of not just the female form but women in general.
Asia Carrera's Second Baby Is A Boy
Mary Carey Update
She calls from Chicago. "Kendra's really mad at me. She wrote to me that she's not my friend anymore because I wouldn't give her her jeans, her belt and her t-shirt back. After I did my porno yesterday, I was not feeling well."
I think the split between them runs deeper. Kendra finds Mary too exhausting and too flakey.
Mary: "Kendra has so many pairs of jeans. She has more clothes than anybody I've seen. I'm going to have her clothes cleaned for her. I don't why she would end our friendship over this. Please tell her that I really love her.
"I had a nightmare on the plane ride over and the stewardess had to calm me down.
"Did you hit the [record] button on your phone?"
Luke: "Yes."
Mary: "I love you. I'm drinking red wine. Red wine makes you a calm drunk. It puts you to sleep.
"I am so easily influenced to do other things. When I'm a porno set, I want to be the best porno star I can be. When I'm somewhere, I want to be the best whatever...
"At 7 am, I broke down and called Harold. I've got this guy flying in tomorrow to help me out and take me to the President Bush dinner."
Harold comes on the line. "You can't get rid of Mary. She's addictive. We tried breaking up.
"She's kookoo right now. That [porn] movie [Tuesday] screwed her mind up. The transformation screwed her up. She was supposed to be condom and all this. She's easily influenced. I can talk her into anything. Whoever she's hanging around is who she believes.
"Her face looks blue. She says she's been taking lots of xanax and drinking a lot. She doesn't look well.
"She was screaming in the first class cabin, waking up from a nightmare and screaming. Everyone had to calm her down.
"I've seen other girls deteriorate before my eyes such as Tawny [Roberts] and Jessica [Jaymes]."
Mary: "I can right now work myself up into a fit of tears. I worked myself into tears talking to the pastor and his wife. I can win everyone over."
Harold tears up a business card she got from a lawyer.
"She's got no use for that," Harold explains.
"The guy was rich," wails Mary.
Industry Rates Are Crap
TruthAboutPorn writes:
I get sick and tired of hearing girls say "I charge industry standard rates". Will someone tell these whores that until every single bukkake slut, every Vivid skank and every Pamela Peaks hooker looks exactly the same, there is no standard industry rate because looks vary widely.
I mean if there really was "industry standard rates" some girls would get ZERO work because why on earth would you pay Hillary Scott the same thing you pay Gen Padova? I mean sometimes I like girl with huge nose but in terms of over all looks, Hillary wins and has a lot of commerical appeal. I see alot of B, C and D grade wanna be porn hookers yelling the "industry standard" line to try to get a higher rate and it makes me sick. All porn whores should be graded just like eggs and beef at the grocery store.
A - $900 boygirl scenes
B - $600 boygirl scenes
C - $400 boygirl scenes
D - $200 boygirl scenes
F - $20 and a hit of tina (i.e. meth)
The Cracked Out Gastineau Girls
With Jade and Carey on the show [Monday night], Wankus said he felt like he was watching an episode of The Cracked Out Gastineau Girls.
Carey kept bringing up Tawny Roberts' name and Wankus mentioned that they used to be an item.
"Before she turned into a crack head," added Jade. Carey said Roberts didn't do many drugs when they were together. Wankus wondered what happened with Roberts.
"She used to be one of the most gorgeous girls I ever saw in my life- now, I got to be honest with you. I think she looks pretty bad."
Jade thought Roberts' face looks like it's going to fall off and Wankus ascribed that to bad surgery.
"She did the whole Devon from Digital Playground, let me have that duckbill look."
Ex-stripper Heather Veitch calls me back Wednesday afternoon. "I've done over 100 radio shows. I'm doing Bill O'Reilly.
"Do you have any good news for me?"
Luke: "The good news is Jesus Christ."
Heather: "You're right."
JCsGirls.com forum got overrun by nasty posts and hardcore porn, so they shut it down.
Heather: "I'm really sad about it.
"I met this pastor who knows everybody in the [strip] club scene. He fell away from God for five years. He was a big VIP guy.
"He fits the JCsgirls image. He's in the fancy suits, fancy ties, cufflinks. He almost looks like a wiseguy. He's so Las Vegas and a pastor. Super cool. He can hang out with anybody and nobody would feel judged.
"He's a real gypsy. He pastors a gypsy church. I didn't even know there were still gypsies. I had never met gypsies. They were so nice.
"I saw one of my old stripper friends. She's laying low because she doesn't want anyone to know she's still a stripper.
"Lori just said I'm being narcissistic."
