Hot Sex With a Porn Director
Rachel Kramer Bussel writes in the Village Voice:
"I like it when my girlfriend dresses up like a hooker. We role-play—she wears a wig and comes to my hotel room. One time I even made her walk the street before coming upstairs." This probably isn't your typical party conversation, but the anal-sex book and video launch for my fellow columnist Tristan Taormino wasn't your typical party. The person talking to me was adult director DCypher (dv8cultx.com), whose gorgeous girlfriend is porn star Justine Joli (justinejoli.com). I mingled, enjoying the punked-out, queer, poly, kinky crowd—my kind of people. The room felt like my reward for surviving the week from hell.

Mary Carey Can't Wait To Get Drunk With The Republicans
She emails me from Christchurch, New Zealand:
Tell holly and suze I will call them monday when I get back from new zealand. Its 1.99 a min to make calls from here. You and my mom were my only phone calls from new zealand. Thanks for being my pimp.
I just got approved for NRCC (National Republican Congressional Committee) dinner. I can't wait to get drunk with Republicans again. I will be doing a formal press release in the next day.
Porn Billing Leak Exposes Buyers
Seventeen million customers of the online payment service iBill have had their personal information released onto the internet, where it's been bought and sold in a black market made up of fraud artists and spammers, security experts say. The stolen data, examined by Wired News, includes names, phone numbers, addresses, e-mail addresses and internet IP addresses. Other fields in the compromised databases appear to be logins and passwords, credit-card types and purchase amounts, but credit-card numbers are not included. The breach has broad privacy implications for the victims.
Porn Star Karaoke
Tara writes me:
I had fun at PSK for the first time in ages. Ian Ziering was there and I talked to him a little. I bought him a rose from the flower guy and then later I got to hug him. I got alot of audio interviews that were really funny. I linked them in the article that I wrote to go along with my PSK pictures. Kris Roc actually knew the porn star convicted of molesting an underage boy. Remember how Tianna Taylor showed up at the FOXE Awards last month acting nuts? Well, I got comments from Lex Steele, Mark Davis, and Kris Roc on that. Listen to it online. Very, very, very funny!
Freepornstarpix.com reports (and she has a ton of photos if you click this link):
Porn star karaoke at Sardos was buzzing this week. The line to get inside extended far out the door and down the block to the next establishment, a donut shop. Violet Marcelle, Hailey Young, Vanessa Blue, Lexington Steele, Mark Davis, Aurora Snow, Kris Roc, Jim South Jr, DVSX Connie, Ryan Knox, and Ron Jeremy were among the established industry figures present.
Male performer Kris Roc shared his onset experiences of appearing in a JM Production bukkake movie. He revealed that it is not as much fun as it looks. He also touches on the topic of disgraced porn star Genevieve Elise Silva, who was recently prosecuted for having relations with an underage boy. Listen to his interview online.
Pamela Peaks brought new male performer Joe Rock to his first ever porn star karaoke. In an indepth interview, the French Canadian discusses his background and latest shoots.Click here to listen.
Violet Marcelle... chatted briefly with our onsite reporter.
XRCO nominations were announced a few weeks ago and Mark Davis is to be placed in the organization's Hall of Fame. Mark stated that he would eagerly be attending the ceremony. Click here to listen to the rest of his comments.
Female performers Hailey Young and Aurora Snow both sported new looks. Hailey has a new cut and color and Aurora is now has light blonde hair that has sexy strawbery blonde streaks.
Industry connection in New York Times obit
Chris writes: Today's obituary of mafia hitman Richard Kuklinski says that he began his career "at a film lab and sold pornographic movies to the Gambinos."
Academia's Loss Is Porn's Gain
There goes another Faulkner scholar.
Porn stud Mike Hash has dropped out of community college, quitting classes in accounting, trigonometry and pre-calculus.
He'll now be able to better concentrate his mind on his work and be less distracted by abstract theorems. He can do his scenes now with a clear head and a clean conscience that he is giving his work his all.
Excited male models
Warthorn writes Holly: "Have there been occasions when the male models have gotten "over-excited" by the female model(s) that they have to work with and cum prematurely? --- I could personally imagine that working with stars like Teri Weigel and Janine might trigger that response."
Holly replies: "Oh yes, but because I can't embarass anyone I can't give you names... though a couple did come in for test polaroids once (we never shot them). As the girlfriend was giving her boyfriend a handjob to try and get him hard for the pics, he came all over the studio floor. [Thomas] Rifter was so annoyed, he made him clean it up."
Alyssa West Gives Birth
There are pictures of her beautiful baby boy on her MySpace page.
I told Tony Malice I couldn't link to his website on this story. He writes me back: "I suppose it's easy to forget that even Alyssa West is human. But in all seriousness she is probably the worst decision maker I've ever met in my life. Initially after I shot her a couple times I kept in touch just to watch the tragedy unfold. What has resulted from that investment of my time is, if I do say so myself, comedy gold. Yay."

You heard it here first. Cassia Riley, Jamie Lynn, Eve Mayfair and your favorite gossip columnist photographed by Holly Randall to bring out their inner beauty as only she can.
Why Am I Trying To Resist The Love Of Bill Margold?
Vilnia writes:
Luke: Why are you trying to resist the love Bill Margold? Do you not think his love is genuine? Why then are you devaluing it? Can you not see that in leaning forward to grab you, he has left the doors of his heart exposed to you? Why would you reject him at such a vulnerable time? Don't you realize his feelings may be wounded?
Wait, this is the same advice you gave to Holly about me. And look where that got us.
Tory Lane Offers Herself On Craig's List? Nope, it is a scam.
She supposedly promises royal treatment. One of my readers has already expressed his interest in having her mount his throne.
James writes: "That ad on Craigs list is a scam. It's by an agency called metro entertainment. I have it on good authority that she is avaible through a certain high end agency."
What kind of crazy world do we live in where everything, including a woman's honor, is for sale?
Just the other night, Holly offered me her honor. I honored her offer. And all night, I was on her and off her.
I have to tread carefully. I have to speak in a whisper. It would never do, would it, to have you fellows fall in love with my Holly! Had I been a painter, had the management of The Enchanted Hunters commissioned me to redecorate their dining room with murals of my own making, this is what I might have thought up: There would have been a lake. There would have been an arbor in flame-flower. There would have been those luminous globules of gonadal glow that travel up the opalescent sides of juke boxes. There would have been a fire opal dissolving within a ripple-ringed pool, a last throb, a last dab of color, stinging red, smarting pink, a sigh, a wincing child.
I have but followed nature. I am nature's faithful hound. Why then this horror that I cannot shake off? Did I deprive her of her flower? Sensitive gentlewomen of the jury, I was not even her first lover.
Holly writes: "Wow, some of these hookers on Craigslist are hot, if that's really them. Maybe THIS is where I should start looking for new models?"
I'm always eager to further your career. That's because I believe in you. Baby, it's you. Nobody shoots like you do.
Nathan writes: "What kind of world are we living in when people can fake Craigslist listings for porn stars? For shame people. For shame."
Cherish The Twins We Have
The blonde check fraud twins Cali and Cherish are back in porn. They have dyed their hair black! They are now called 'The May Twins'. Here is their Gold Star layout.
Here's a story from their original legal problem.
They also flaked on Kevin Ducati for AEE 2006.
Changing The Way Women Think For The Good Of Mankind
Jack writes:
Hot kisser turned out to be an alcoholic, lives at home with mom, has a boyfreind who she says is fantastic (and cheats on him). And with all that baggage, she actually criticized me for putting too much butter on my roll.
Ahh, the tender social niceties and delicate manners that women hold dear and precious while they cheat on their men and get blitzed every night to make it through life.
You know Holly wrote something once (that you posted) that keeps coming back to me, She listed all these things she wanted you to change (music, [dress, manners,] etc.) and then the last one was, "Don't do anything I just told you to do."
I'm not bagging on her, and I actually think that's about the purest glimpse into the way a woman's mind works that I've ever seen. Maybe I should stop bitching about it and just accept it.
My problem is I want to change the way women think for the good of mankind.
Me laid? Ha! Surely you jest, women nail me to the cross for buttering my dinner roll too much; I'd say at this rate I might get laid in 2080.
Of course if I had a tatoo and 16 piercings in my genitials, then women would forgive me for giving them an STD, banging their married sister, and line up to blow me. I know that drill.
You can see the press release that was sent out promote Vanessa Blue's latest venture XGirl here in the ADT thread:
Vanessa posted: "I could go on for days about what's wrong with porn but instead of complaining I am choosing to act and use my talent and my name to boost and promote other WOMEN, not just black women, women who want to learn longevity within adult. (It's kind of f--ed up that a press release get's re-written by others who create a pigeonhole for me by saying that I am only catering to black women when that is not what I said."
Jane says: "She does want performers of all races, but got hijacked before she could get things started with her company."
I Went Shopping For Manischevitz
I'm going to host two Penthouse Pets in bathing suits at my hovel Thursday morning.
I would have you know that I resent this interruption of my scholarly work for a mere photoshoot but sometimes you have to do things for the goyim or they will hate Jews and put us in camps.
Show me a porn company owner who hasn't received sexual favors from a porn girl in exchange for work, box covers, money, publicity, favors, material goods...
"And I'll show you a gay porn company owner!" says Polygon.
Ric from Black Widows Productions emails: "I am sitting here in Marbella, Spain, and saw your story on sexual favors to porn company owners, and I have to agree with Mike South. In my time with Metro, Private and now Black Widow, I have never been offered sex, nor have I solicited it from anyone in this industry. I have many friends that are "porn stars," but I see them as friends and it would just be to weird to proposition them. If anyone begged me to do them for a favor I would think them too needy and would pass. Oh yeah...I am for sure not gay either, so don't know where this puts me on the scale of porn company owners!"
I would just like to say that I've never compromised my journalistic integrity to make it with a porn star, except for when she was hot.
Mike South Claims He's Secure In His Sexuality
MikeSouth: tell Polygon, that Mike South the owner of south river video
has never recieved any of those sexual favors for anything and that i

it off on others
Luke: dont be defensive and homophobic
MikeSouth: homophobic LOL not hardly

designed to make himself feel less guilty about being a dirt bag

MikeSouth: who cares. I can tell ya easy actually. I'm smart and charming

happiness in your old age.
MikeSouth: and she is from columbia [South America] so the age diff isnt
that big a deal
Luke: have you been faithful to her since you met her? In your heart anyway?
MikeSouth: thanks luke i feel the same about you
MikeSouth: yes, in my heart and in every other way
MikeSouth: and she hasnt even asked me to be
MikeSouth: its understood that I can work but I wont most likely
Luke: do you only think about her when you are inside of her?
MikeSouth: dude Giga is beautiful why would I be with her and think about
some other less appealing chick?
MikeSouth: she is the love of my life maybe. Im on the wave, I will ride
it out
Luke: I should stop teasing you. You're a delicate soul.
MikeSouth: tease me all ya want man...its OK.
MikeSouth: I like you cuz you do
Luke: what do you guys do together?
MikeSouth: we hold hands and talk all night
MikeSouth: we do normal stuff
MikeSouth: she lives in Tampa I live In Atlanta so the time we have together

case's club

MikeSouth: she probably reads in spanish
Luke: Does she believe in Jesus as her Lord and Savior?
MikeSouth: she is fluent
Luke: When are you meeting her family?

needles, catheters and such (she is a RN remember)
MikeSouth: she was raised catholic but I dont think religion is a big
part of her life
Luke: does she want children and can you give them to her? If not, I volunteer.
Will deliver right to her ovum.
MikeSouth: she doesnt want kids nor do I
MikeSouth: I dont know when I will meet her family...her mother and sister

Luke: How do you both feel about the invasion of Iraq? What are our chances
of establishing democracy there?
Luke: Does she prefer ballet to opera?
MikeSouth: dunno ballet or opera Id say she prefers a titty bar
Luke: beer or wine?
MikeSouth: as for Iraq I think we went in with the right goal but we now
need to establish a plan for withdrawal and turning Iraq over to the Iraqis
MikeSouth: democracy will not happen there
Luke: What are Giga's views on what's wrong with South America and all
those banana republics?
MikeSouth: she would prefer wine
Luke: Are Columbians genetically predisposed to drug trafficking and gruesome
murder?
MikeSouth: she only lived her first 2 years in Columbia (Bogata) so she
probably would have no real concern about the third world problems facing
many central american countries
MikeSouth: I dunno about Columbians per se but in general i think it would
be safe to say that trafficking in cocaine is lucrative enough that most
people there would probably consider it work the risk to do it.
MikeSouth: same holds true for peru and other cocaine exprting countries
Luke: has she examined your body of work and what is her critique?
MikeSouth: when we met she was pretty much of the opinion that porn wasnt
a good thing for society and that the people in it were all pretty much
the way we are portrayed on TV and in movies...sleazy and lacking any
sort of responsibility
MikeSouth: but as I said she is adventurous ...she agreed to go with me
to expo....and when she spent a week with me and met tim, felicia, raven,
scott mcgowan and the crew that we all hang out with her mind changed
drastically
MikeSouth: she was fascinated by how nice we all are, that we didnt do
drugs or get drunk
Luke: great, you've defiled and corrupted her. Let her spend some time
with me and I'll change her back.
MikeSouth: that many of us are intelligent
Luke: What lofty ideas did you guys discuss?
MikeSouth: she told me when she got back home that going to vegas with
me was a life changing experience for her
MikeSouth: that she had been too quick to judge in the past
MikeSouth: I have introduced her to objectivism, individualism and Libertarianism
MikeSouth: all ideologies and principles that she already held but didnt
really know what it was called
MikeSouth: she loves the fact that I dont blame other people when something
goes wrong for me nor will I allow her to do so
MikeSouth: she once said my friend got me drunk
MikeSouth: and I called her on it
MikeSouth: I like a person who accepts resposibilty for his/her own life
Luke: Good for you. You are a moral leader.
Luke: If only more people were like you.
Luke: you're happy and that makes me happy
Luke: what books are you reading these days or has love stolen you from
your scholarly pursuits?
MikeSouth: brb giga calling
Mary Carey, Evan Stone, Syren Arrive In Auckland, New Zealand
Mary calls me at 3:26 p.m. "I had the most wonderful flight to New Zealand. I started crying because they had me in coach in a middle seat. Because I'm a platinum member, they overbooked coach and upgraded me to business class with full-on beds.
"They're looking at pictures in the tabloids. Evan Stone and Syren are here."
Evan: "Come on down. There's no stories up there. It's all happening here. The plane's delayed, we're getting drunk at the bar.
"We're in the domestic area of the airport and we're trying to fly from Auckland to Christchurch, which is in the south island."
I hear Mary whooping in the background.
Luke: "I used to live there."
Evan: "We're killin' time with red wine and domestic beers and being loud and obnoxious. They're looking at us funny. They're trying to be polite."
Syren: "We're on a five-hour wait but we're getting drunk so we're happy."
Mary: "Lukie, pookie, we all want you out here now.
"I've got to call Suze because Legend is like they can't shoot any video of me, no boy-girl even if it is behind-the-scenes footage, but I can do solo video. I asked Jack at Legend if I can do boy-girl stills and I haven't gotten an answer yet."
Luke: "I'm sure you can do boy-girl stills."
Mary: "No company has ever said no to that.
"Harold and I fought at the airport.
"Here, Harold, talk to Luke and tell him what we fought about."
Harold: "She's being obnoxious. She started thinking about old stuff and bringing it up to me. I didn't care to hear it and she was in my ear and she doesn't quit. She'll say the same thing over and over again. 'Let's forget about it and move on.' I'll say, 'All right,' and she'll say, 'Shut the f--- up already.'
"She asks the same questions over and over again. She won't go to sleep. I'm trying to relax.
"But the flight was great. Her big mouth is good for something. She told them she'd shoot their brains out."
I say a silent prayer that one day Mary and Harold will experience the quiet bliss that Holly and I feel in our separate lives.
Holly Randall writes: "Mary better find out quick if she can do boy/girl stills -- because my mom might cancel if she can't. We need hardcore shoots for the site-- I don't mind about the video, we didn't think we'd be able to shoot it anyhow."
Sheesh, Holly, always playing hardball. I'd like to think we're all in this together, that we're one big happy caring family united against the forces of repression. I want to present porn with a human face.
Mary Carey replies: "I can do hardcore stills, just no video, please tell Holly. Can you ask Holly how much I get for the shoot? Ask Holly if there is any way I can do g/g stills? If not, I understand."
Yeah, Holly, have you ever considered Harold's feelings? How do you think he feels when his beloved, whom he intends to wed in a ceremony honored by God and man, is ploughed by Ben English? After all, you're only doing girl-girl these days.
Holly responds: "She needs to speak to us personally about this -- you're not her pimp."
How do you know? Been pimpin' my bitches since before you were born.
I'm just looking out for her best interests. I don't want you to take advantage of her like you did to Jenna Jameson and Tera Patrick.
"Did you watch "Hustle and Flow" recently or something?"
I fear Mary might be giving Holly a headache. Humphrey's girl may not be her normal giving self this week, willing to engage in endlessly complex discussions with porn stars while her literary endeavors bur.
Hey Kylee, It's Kevin Rubio
Hey Kylee, It's me Kevin Rubio. I am so glad you still remember me. After all, it's been almost a year now. I guess you have been too busy with your porn career to tell everyone about that wonderful night you drove up from Orange County and spent the night with me in my bed. I really enjoyed cuddling with you all night. I gotta tell you, when we f---ed again the next morning, it was truly one of the best encounters I have ever had. It's not often I meet someone that kisses so deeply and passionately as you. I am so used to the cold impersonal porn kissing you get during scenes. I suppose you just didn’t want your boyfriend of six years to know we were together off camera. Don’t worry, I understand. I wish we could have spent more time together. Im not sure if I ever told you, but the scene we shot of you was excellent. No one would have ever guessed it was your first scene. I called AIM today about your test status when we shot your girl/girl scene and oh my gosh, you were right, you didn’t have a current test. Shame on me for not making sure you had one. I can assure you that was a one time slip, especially now that a very dear friend of mine in the business was one of the ones that got HIV awhile ago. That is just not something that should be taken lightly. Dont worry Kylee, I understand, I guess you didn’t know your not supposed to shoot without a test since you were new and all. I take the blame for that.
Hey, remember the next week when we had your next shoot scheduled and you didnt call or show up? It was so long ago, but I think you said you were partying the previous night and cut your leg while you were drunk and had to go to the hospital the next day. (Thank God your Grandma didn’t die or something) I was wondering if you had fell and hit your head and that’s what made you think I stole your domain name? Don’t you remember, we registered it in your name, with your money? I guess you forgot.
Don’t worry Kylee, it's okay. I have attached the public record of your domain kyleeking.com that clearly shows that it is registered to you just like it always has been. Didn’t anyone show you how to do a WHOIS lookup so you could see it was always yours? I never would have thought you going on KSEX would have turned out so great. I have had more orders for your movie Strap It To Me #5 than I ever have. And you know what; I think some of these people really think I am a shady scumbag. I have always wanted to be one of those "Bad Boys" but I could never really pull it off. I just hope the thousands of girls that have worked for me with no problems don’t go and ruin everything by telling them I am actually a good guy.
Anyway, I am glad to see you are still working and happy that gash on your leg healed without leaving any scar. I watched a scene you did after it happened and I couldnt see it anywhere. Thanks again for all the publicity. Take care of yourself.
I Got A Hot Chick Or Two To Be In A Photo With Me
I'm getting profiled as one of LA's ten (or some number) most interesting people (in a mainstream publication) and it would help the photographer out if there was a young beautiful woman or two in the shot with me.
Now I got me a couple of Penthouse Pets in bikinis (one of them is Jewish and quite Torah-observant) and I'm chillin' in my black undertaker suite.
I asked Holly Randall to pose with me but she turned me down (not for the first time). "Tell them they have to come another time," she writes, "preferably in about two weeks so I can lose weight."
That's very sweet and very funny but very wrong, because in the interview, I confessed I was a chubby chaser.
Yeah, I'm wearing a suite because I've been depressed and eating dunkin' donuts.
"Amber keeps bringing in cake and even donuts last week -- I'm on a diet, dammit! Back to my boring nutritionist's diet, all this junk food around me isn't cool.
"Hey no fair I turned you down because I'm working! I would have done it, fat or not!"
You tellin' me that you can't have someone else hold the C-light for an hour? What precisely do you have to do at 10 am tomorrow that makes you so irreplacable? Your mom did just fine without you for 20 years.
"I can't leave the studio during a shoot! I have to work the computer, oversee the outfits, I've got Hailey Young coming in for test shots -- I HAVE to be there. You ain't cryin, you've got two hotties in bikinis. It's a photograph you'll treasure forever, and frame next to your bed."
Why can't you have someone else turn on the computer?
"It's not just turning it on -- I've got to download the cards, reformat them, check for focus, cropping, edit."
Amalek writes me:
Have the Pets hold some sacred texts, with serious expressions on their faces.
And get a yeshivish guy to hold up some porn in the background.
I think it's a bad idea to pose with hot chicks. Makes you seem like some wanker who need not be taken seriously. Rather than key on Luke, the porn gadfly, why not have them focus on your work to defend kids from predator rabbis?
It's Exhausting Work Facilitating The Reasoned Discourse That Makes Democracy Possible
I stole the best part of that line from Allan MacDonell's forthcoming memoir Prisoner of X.
If you want to learn how to write, this is a book to read. I'm going to scrawl out some of my favorite sentences as models of clear thinking and wicked humor. (That's a part of British education -- to write out other people's great writing as a spur to bettering your own.)
It's no wonder that MacDonnell fathered other great writers such as Evan Wright and was a brother to the great Mike Albo.
I interviewed MacDonell over the phone for ten minutes in early 1996 and he was dull. He said at most two interesting sentences. He was a complete corporate cipher. He talked about his dedication to making Hustler magazine even greater. He didn't display a glimmer of introspection.
When I met him in person that same month, introduced myself and shook his hand, he was cold and preoccupied. Yet, from his writing, sparks fly.
I finished James Agee's book. I hated it.
I'm not sure all the books I'm hating these days deserve my hate.
The shameful thing is I am not in a foul mood.
I randomly experience freefloating rage (it's hard for me to write anything entertaining unless I am in the grip of that demon), but I truly hate Death, The World To Come and their ilk (even though much of the writing is superb).
I react from my emotions to books I read for pleasure. Most of my reading is for pleasure.
If I read something for pleasure, I need lots of uplifting stuff about people overcoming their baser natures to find meaning and love. Ergo, I loved Prisoner of X.
I Need A Cuddle - But Not From Seymour Of Sardo's

Jane writes: "Looks like Eve's getting quite a buzz from Boetheus."
In a moment of moral weakness Monday night, I appealed on this blog for a cuddle with someone hot.
(Nate writes: "Who is Konnie? If I wanted to cuddle with someone in a moment of weakness, I would sure like it to be her." Luke: She's a director/make-up artist for DVSX. All their girls are hot with different shapes for different tastes.)
In the clear light of morning, I removed the post.
But the damage had been done.
All night at Porn Star Karaoke, Seymour (who, according to an informed source, originated the rumor I am gay, yes, I've had my moments with Bill Margold but that was not my true self) tried to cuddle with me.
As long as I know how to love I know I will stay alive.
Excuse me, I'd just like to dedicate this song to Robbye and Norman Bentley.
First I was afraid. I was petrified. Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side. But I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong. I grew strong. I learned how to carry on and so you're back from outer space. I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face. I should have changed my stupid lock. I should have made you leave your key. If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me...
Go on now go walk out the door just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore. Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye. You think I'd crumble. You think I'd lay down and die. Oh no, not I. I will survive as long as I know how to love I know I will stay alive. I've got all my life to live. I've got all my love to give and I'll survive. I will survive.
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart and I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I used to cry. Now I hold my head up high and you see me somebody new. I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you and so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me.
I arrive at Sardo's at 8:30 p.m. and find some temporary solace in Boethius until I can drown my sorrows in a heart-to-heart with Eve Mayfair who assists Lexington Steele's fiance Vanessa Blue with TheXXXGirl.com.
I tell her I spent my first two years in LA trying to make it as a mainstream actor. I failed completely. But that's OK. I was born to blog.
"I can see you as an actor," Eve comforts. "You look like James Bond."
That's what Wesley Pipes and Cuntree tell me, and if anyone knows acting, it is those two gentlemen.
Eve says the TheXXXGirl.com agency doesn't book escorting or bachelor parties. "It's more like a management company. We have eight girls now."
Luke: "Are they all black girls?"
Eve: "Yeah."
Luke: "You wouldn't take a white girl?"
Eve: "We would. No white girls have asked us to represent them. That's the way it was represented in a couple of articles -- an agency run by black girls for black girls. Great."
Eve and Vanessa are dark-skinned black girls. I'm not sure how they feel about the lighter-skinned girls, or those with yellowish or brown sheens. I'm sure they officially have a non-discriminatory policy but what's really go on in their heart?
Dave writes: "Hey Luke! I LOVE Eve Mayfair from those photos of her that you recently took and I 1st remember falling in love with her on the Round and Brown website! Do you know if she's in any adult videos or does she plan on doing any or did you snag a interview with her? Whenever you can PLEASE let me know! I'm just in LOVE with her!"
Tod Hunter writes: "I just finished editing an interview with her for Adam Black Video Illustrated. Look for it at better newsstands this summer."
Lexington Steele's fiance Vanessa Blue says she reads and she's not giving me anything.
Ron Royster arrives with Brisbane porn star Gem Hunter and Renee, his producer.
"I decided on a whim to come to LA a couple of weeks ago," says Gem. "There was a strange man following me down Melrose Blvd and it was Ron. Wouldn't you be scared if he was dollowing you down the street?"
Ron: "Octavio Arizala has his own gig with Eon [McKai]. Octavio is going to direct a movie. They are going to have major news. In the underground world, Octavio has the most earth-shattering news. He convinced somebody who has never done Adult stuff to do Adult stuff."
I ask Ron if his relationship with Renee is entirely honorable. He says, with regret, that it is. "Everybody told me that the life of a pornographer was so much fun, but all I ever do is work, and nothing good happens. No action in the bullpen, if you know what I mean. Being a pornographer is the loneliest job in the world."
Ron met Renee in a bar. He went in "looking for hookers and blow."
"I had one of them," laughs Renee.
Gem has been in porn for over a year (transitioning from stripping and burlesque dancing).
While I'm chatting with Eve, Seymour asks me if I got my cuddle today. I blush. I confess that I have not. He offers me one from the burly security guard.
Seymour says he's going to wait for a full house and have the karaoke hostess Kristen announce that I need a cuddle.
I leave before there's a full house. I'm like the retarded guy in the 1962 movie David and Lisa. I'm very selective about who gets to touch me. They have to have read at least 1,000 books in their life and be hot.
No matter how many people I talk to, I have up a wall 98% of the time.
Jane writes: "Why did you leave PSK so early? You missed Aurora Snow and her new look. She's now got bright blonde hair!"
Though Porn Star Karaoke is intellectually stimulating and a never-ending cornucopia of carnal delights, I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
I have kissed honey lips, felt my healing in her fingertips. It burned like fire, this burning desire.
I have spoke with the tongue of angels. I have held the hand of a devil. It was warm in the night. I was cold as a stone But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
I believe in the kingdom come.
I was five miles outside of Van Nuys Tuesday morning when the narcissism began kicking in. After spending four hours at World Modeling, I spent six hours in Woodland Hills Tuesday afternoon-evening getting spiritually centered before heading to PSK.
Why Is It News That There Are Scumbags In Porn?
Being the serious-minded journalist that all of you know I am, I am sometimes caught in tumultuous turmoil when I find myself considering such important matters as why it is news there are scumbags in porn. Think about it, porn is about two things and two things only: Money and sex. (In that order.) And if there are two things on this planet which will attract more than its share of unsavory human beings, it is money and sex.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying porn is the only business that's about money and sex and, therefore, attracts more than its share of scumbags. Look at Hollywood: It certainly has more than its share of the aforementioned creeps. And the truth is, money alone will attract just as many--a look at American politics says it all in that situation.
I'm also not saying that, when a scumbag does something really f---ed up, people shouldn't get the word out. I just don't understand why its couched as "news." (And fairly sensational news at that.)
Why are people seemingly so surprised to learn that one of porn's fine citizens gets caught with his or her hands in the proverbial cookie jar whether that cookie jar contains cash or is pink on the inside? Why are people seemingly so appalled that such behavior even exists in porn?
I figure everyone in porn is a scumbag or has true scumbag potential until they prove me wrong by actions or by my continued association with them.
Exploding the conference business
Joanna Angel will be speak on a panel at the South by Southwest film festival but Joe Clark will not:
For two months straight, I have received weekly inquiries about South by Southwest: Was I going? Or, as it was more commonly expressed, wasn’t I going?
No, I’m not. I’ve been there twice, presenting on both occasions, and, while I have admitted that it SXSW is a great time in which one is surrounded by friends, the conference is fundamentally exploitative. You pay your way and pay to get in. If you’re permitted to speak, you pay your way and don’t pay to get in. In either case you’re out-of-pocket, significantly so if you’re a presenter.
Does Porn Rob You Of Intimacy?
Holly Randall posts on XPT: "I'm not sure if my vote counts since I don't perform in front of the cameras, but I don't feel it's made my love life any less intimate at all."
William Hyde writes:
What cements a relationship between a man and a woman is mutual respect and trust. A man and woman can meet, fall in love, and have a mutually fullfiling relationship without being physically intimate [ie. having sex]. It's emotional and intellectual intimacy that forms the bedrock of longlasting relationships. Sex is a purely physical act [albeit a thoroughly enjoyable one]. Pornography doesn't rob anyone of anything... intimacy, dignity or otherwise. Under the best of circumstances it can enhance a physical relationship, and only becomes an obstacle when people let their own jealousy and possesiveness take control. And although that kind of caveman mentality is understandable, it's a little impractical in an age when more and more women are challenging the double-standard that labels them "whores" for displaying behavior that men are typically admired for.
Da Burglar replies to Holly:
You are right on the edge, the pareto efficient intersection, of where porn can help or harm, add to or rob, a relationship betwixt a man and a woman. You and Luke, BECAUSE you merely make and write about explicit, filthy pornography and not ACTUALLY perform in it...can reap the benefits of doing/reenacting all the things you see everyday in and around the porn sets you are on...and NO ONE else can see/share in what you do.
Furthermore, on those cold rainy Late Winter nights when Luke has taken a double dose of Viagra and as he is driving Holly's beautiful head into the Oak headboard on her bed, as he plows her lentil beanfield mercilessly like King David after watching Bathsheba play with Mr Bubbles from his rooftop, no One else anywhere on the planet is watching Holly get plowed (and by extension, vicariously plowing Holly through visual fantasy/mental rape enabled by pornographic films), so Luke & Holly's physical/sexual-spiritual intimacy is kept between themselves.
See Holly, you intuitively understand and express the point of this thread despite your doubts and slightly guilt-ridden conscience. Luke is having a thoroughly Moral Impact upon your heart and mind.
Jeff Steward replies to Holly: "Cool. Can you stop by my office when you get a chance, I want to hit you."
Holly replies: "Careful... that might just turn me on."
JamesN writes: "Holly, i hold you responsible for the fact Luke is now somehow photographing mentally-disabled 35-year old women who are cared for by their aging family in their childhood room replete with teddy-bears, nancy drew books, and a wardrobe of mostly sweatpants and sweatshirts with embroidered cats on them to go to the park in. I worry about him and pray his faith is strong enough to resist giving her a bag of twizzlers and then sexually-abusing her now that he's a bottle of cialis and nothing but Reason magazine to facilitate his self-abuse."
How should I pose?
I was called Tuesday night to pose for a picture for a certain Los Angeles publication.
Amalek, may his name be erased, writes me:
In your tallis, wearing tefillin, surrounded both by large pictures of rabbis and your books.
Wait, yes, you should wear a tallis, a keepah, have your right hand resting on a large format copy of the talmud (Bava Metziah, Steinsaltz edition) and your left hand resting on a copy of "A History of X." That pic should be taken at your hovel. Wear the undertaker suit.
That's you - Jew and porn gadfly.
Or maybe wear a crown of thorns.
Pose with Mike Albo and two guys in yeshivish garb beating you up on the street.
Or maybe just a pic of you peeling potatoes.
JMT writes: "Don't show any pink."
Hooking on Craigslist? That's surprising. She seemed to have more pride.
Ann Marie Vs Metro
Former Metro contract star Ann Marie emails me:
I mean I know your a gossip site, but who dropped what type of pills before fabricating this story? What Im refering to is a column you have posted refering to Kenny/Metros dirty laundry. Maybe this will spark your memory.
Did you know about the quarter million in product former metro salesman Seth had delivered to himself no charge? Seth bought, not rented, his own box bed truck to haul away metro product delivered to ghost addresses. All this while Kenny's last feckless former GM Neil Persky was sniffing mexican warehousemen's backpacks for onsie-twosies out the back door? How Seth was shacking up with metro contract star Annmarie, oops, former contract star, too much cocaine... How he paid sixteen grand cash down on his new lexus, the one blocked in and repossessed at metro when they confronted him? How Seth's rich family made restitution keeping him out of jail? Or did that story get spiked from AVN because of the quarter million in advertising Kenny bought?
Whoa. I'm not really trying to get publicity, thats not the reason for my email. I retired from porn and work only under contract for PLAYBOY TV and PLAYBOY RADIO as the host of my own tv & radio show.
1. I am a former Metro contract girl because METRO VIOLATED MY CONTRACT. After I signed they wanted me to do things not in my contract. They fired the only director there I wanted to work with James Avalon. (he is the reason I signed with them... he is a fabulous director and he used to be exclusive to them.) Not because of cocaine. Most people working ther are something, as with much of the industry. Lets keep it real. My old best friend JJ [Jesse Jane], the blonde contract girl known for f---ing rock stars like Kid Rock and Tommy Lee is the one who got me involved with that. It was a phase that didnt last.When I quit participating, she quit wanting to be my friend. I enjoy eating & sleeping, too much.
2. Seth never stole from Metro, your story left out the fact he bought into half the company, and was a co-owner. A fact kenny didnt publicize. How do you steal from yourself? He only tried to help save that company as an investment. That was his real mistake.
3. This confrontation never happened. There was nothing to confront. The Lexus your referring to is one of the cars he still owns and is paid off. Like most things he owns. Seth is the rich one, not his family. He takes care of them.He's self made.
4. I left Metro, and the porn industry. I wanted a happier life. I found it. I am not on drugs. I now live a very healthy lifestyle. I eat only organic foods, and practice yoga 4-6 times a week. Metro never dropped me. They wanted me to complete my contract. After I left them they were trying to track me down, I caught thier former publicist Janie L. driving past my house on atleast 2 occasions.(she lives nowhere near me)Spying on me for them I was later told.And they wonder why I left.
Take this information, this truth, for what you will. Print it out and wipe your ass with if you want. Believe it or dont. Either way, its the truth. After this long....whats the point in rehashing all this just to lie?
Robbye Bentley Vs Defiance Films
Robbye emails me:
Hi Luke, I read the article you wrote about my comment on the message board. I in no way attacked anyone personally on the message, but lately lukeford.com has been attacking me. between that, and the lies that Keith O'Connor was stating on the message board, someone needed to set the record straight. I was only exposing defiance for their repeated lies, setting the record straight on how they conduct their business. Which is not a mystery to the industry, if you look around on the message board.
Norman, Keith, and Defiance have a bad business reputation, and it's not me spreading the news. I have never attacked Norman's girlfriend. She has personally insulted me, using word like, "fat, ugly cunt, etc" In our few correspondenses. I have asked her to leave me alone many times, and have not threatened her in any way, physically or verbally. I just do not appreciate her becoming involved in my personal business with my soon-to-be ex husband, or voicing her opinion about our relationship. For that she has no right. But when I ask her to stop, she starts in with personal attacks at me, only proving her stellar maturity and respect for relationships.
About her lovely statement on your site...great! So glad they are in love! Please, HAVE HIM!!! Why do we really care, though? This has nothing to do with business, Deifiance's reputation (unless it's damage control to cover up norman's issues). And I have moved on just fine, and will be happy to have some closure when Norman finally pays my out of my shares of Matrix Content.
Keith O'Connor replies to my inquiry about them going out of business (a rumor posted on ADT):
Hey Luke, No, there's no truth to it at all. We simply haven't shot anything new since December, and it seems because of that someone went ahead and made an incorrect assumption. Last year, over a 6 month period, we shot 40 titles. Sometimes shooting twice a week. So people have become acustom to us shooting a lot. But we currently have a release schedule filled all the way until the end of July.
Our domestic sales are extremely strong, so we've been spending the last 2 months working on solidifying our foreign distribution deal and on bringing all of our post production work in-house, with a major investment into HD editing and authoring equipment. Every title to date has been edited and authored by outsourcing to editors and authoring houses. With the growth we've seen since AVN alone, and with our new foreign distribution deal in-hand it's now time for us to bring all of the post production facets of putting a title together in house.
So with all those titles in the can, plus our first feature Runway completed, we simply haven't needed to shoot. Trantastic was just released and is outselling all of our previous titles. We're about to release Aurora Snow's Dirty Dykes, House of Anal, Multi Racial Mayhem, Latin Obsession 2, Teen Handjobs 2 from Taylor Rain, Backdoor Desires, Kiss My Ass freom Cindy Crawford, Squirt Factor, etc, etc, etc. Plus we're close to launching the Defiance Films members site, defiancexxx.com.
We are going to begin shooting again soon, Tory Lane is going to direct her first title, Missy Monroe is going to direct her second title, Aurora Snow has some great ideas, Taylor Rain is about to shoot a movie in Orange County called The Ho'C, Vincent Voss and Jade Marcela have several series to get cracking on like Slick Chicks/Black Dicks 2, Teenage Dreamin 2, etc. Companies go out of business because they can't sell pieces, that's a problem we don't have. Companies go out of business because they run out of cash, Ron Levi is the man behind Defiance, so money will never be a problem.
Red Light District And Martin Del Toro
Pop writes: "Red Light has been bouncing checks to talent. Naomi has had 4 checks bounced to her on Martin Del Toro shoots. They have many lawsuits and [this must cause them financial trouble]."
My friend spoke to David Joseph, owner of Red Light, and reports back to me that this email is completely false.
