Jade Starr Interview

Luke: How long have you been in the industry in any form?
JadeStarr: I think since like 2003..i used to post naked pictures of myself all over the place before I officially started doing it as a career
Luke: When you were a kid, what did you want to become when you grew up?
JadeStarr: a princess..haha
Luke: What kind of crowd did you hang with in highschool? What did you think about porn then? How old were you when you lost your virginity? Good experience? Were you a slut? Are you now?
JadeStarr: In high school I mostly hung out with the nerds and a few goths and punks..mostly nerds though because most of the "freaky" people were drug addicts and I've never liked that
JadeStarr: In high school I loved porn..I used to snatch my brother in laws magazines and my dads and look at them
JadeStarr: I was 21 when I lost my virginity to a guy and 16 to a girl
JadeStarr: Both were great experiences
JadeStarr: I've never been a slut..I am very picky..even in porn..if I don't like the chick I wont agree to the scene
Luke: What do you love and hate about being a part of the porn industry?
JadeStarr: I love the fans, the girls, the money, and the attention.
Luke: Picking up your "attention" remark which I hear from so many girls, were you inadequately attentioned in childhood?
JadeStarr: I hate how g/g is not as appreciated right now and how "edgy" models are still looked down upon
JadeStarr: Definately..I was totally ignored in my school years..very unpopular
JadeStarr: plus i was a middle child!
Luke: Were you a good student? Did you get a college degree? What do you do in your spare time?
Luke: How does your Asian culture (family, friends etc) view porn and your participation in it?
JadeStarr: I made A's and B's all of high school accept for gym class
JadeStarr: I did not get a college degree..I only went to a tech school for a short amount of time before stopping..I only did that because my parents made me
JadeStarr: In my spare time I mostly go to clubs, concerts, and spend unhealthy amounts of time looking at naked girls online
JadeStarr: I'm not asian but wow thats a compliment!
Luke: Whoops
JadeStarr: I'm all southern causcasion
Luke: How did family and friends react to your porn participation?
JadeStarr: My family does not know..I tell them very little about myself and they live in Georgia so there far away. My friends all love it and the ones who dont aren't friends and I left them behind long ago
Luke: Is there any part of your body, which, if touched correctly, makes you wet?
JadeStarr: that would be my pussy..haha..im not overly sensitive anywhere else..though a good kiss always works
Luke: What type of men turn you on?
Luke: Why do you dislike the phone? You don't like your voice?
JadeStarr: I like men are nice and confident but not so much that they think they're the shit. I also have a thing for tattoos
JadeStarr: I dont know why I hate the phone..part of it is my southern accent which I hate but also I think I talked so much on the phone as a teenager that I hate it now
Luke: What do you love and hate about your life now?
JadeStarr: I love a lot in my life..I'm just a very a happy person right now. I have a good boyfriend who loves what I do and lets me bring women home and I love my career because I get to show off and meet so many people.
JadeStarr: I hate that sometimes work is far and few between since I'm a g/g only performer and I have tats and it limits me
Luke: Are there any songs/films/books/poems that best reveal your emotional landscape?
Luke: And that'll be my last question. I'm running in the shower. Thank you for talking to me.
JadeStarr: I honestly dont know if theres any particular movie or song that speaks to me that much honestly..my enterainment is more along the lines of watching brutal horror. I guess I'm not that deep.

ATL

MyPornoReview writes:

I just finished seeing the movie "ATL". Not typical of most urban movies where someone dies. Yes there is the same ingredients; drug dealer, token black man, the comedian, the girl, and the nice guy. The movie's plot was encouraging and motivation. It proves that everyone can be success regardless where they come from. It's just a matter of choices we make in our lives. That's what people need to do. Stop blaming others and start making yourself better by making wiser choices in life.

Watching Holly Work

JMT writes me: "I'll bet that if she so much as allows you to be in the studio while she's working, the result will be akin to the effect the Wiliam C. Macy character in "The Cooler" had on gamblers."

HollyRandall: ok i have to double-check with the models but if they're OK with it then you should stop by the shoot
HollyRandall: you can actually watch me work and decide if i'm a sham or not
HollyRandall: it will just be the makeup artist and my assistant so it will be really low-key
Luke: Everyone tells me that you are a good photographer but they never give me specifics.
HollyRandall: i know how to pose girl's bodies, a lot of people don't get certain specifics of that
Luke: if people just tell me, 'Love your work' but if they don't get specific, it does not mean anything to me.
HollyRandall: like keeping limbs parallel to the camera at all times so you don't get foreshortened arms, legs, etc
HollyRandall: if you watch me you'll see
HollyRandall: unless the girl knows exactly what she's doing (which Justine usually does-- I haven't shot Kimberly in ages) then i don't have to direct nearly as much
Luke: do these skills help one jerk off?
HollyRandall: it's with the brand new girls that i really have to work with them
HollyRandall: don't know about that, but they make the girl look good
Luke: make masturbation a more fulfilling and less empty experience?
HollyRandall: hopefully that helps
HollyRandall: you find it empty?
Luke: I'm starting to feel empty about my autoeroticism. It just seems pointless.
Luke: Maybe I should look at your body of work while I do it.
Luke: I want wank material with meaning. Is that too much to ask for?
HollyRandall: not sure that would help
HollyRandall: of course it is
HollyRandall: masturbation is simply a biological reaction to a build up of testosterone
HollyRandall: it's not supposed to be meaningful
HollyRandall: it's pretty much the same as having to go to the bathroom, if you know what i mean
Luke: Nope, it is much more soul destroying.
HollyRandall: it's a means to expel the semen that builds up in men
HollyRandall: oh sheesh
Luke: It tarnishes the soul.
HollyRandall: not to everyone, you know
HollyRandall: i don't believe that
Luke: But you wouldn't understand that.
Luke: It's not how God wants us to express our sexuality.
HollyRandall: yes because i'm not afraid of my own sexuality and i wasn't raised to be ashamed of it
HollyRandall: your God
Luke: that's such a cliche
HollyRandall: so is yours
Luke: Of course you are afraid of your sexuality, at times, or you would have no conscience.
Luke: or no inner life, no need for therapy, or contemplation or self-discipline or creativity. Creativity comes from suppressing and channeling sexual urges.
Luke: I could be wrong.
Luke: Yay, I got a ton of content by just posting a few sentences about your content trade shoot.
HollyRandall: what's funny is that i've had a couple of girls contact me this week since they heard i'm doing content exchange, everyone needs it!
HollyRandall:: i'm the nicest boss ever
Luke: I want to see you lube the pussies
HollyRandall: i have to write up a bio on Kendra for Suze.net right now
HollyRandall: you should write it for me, LOL
HollyRandall: i wouldn't do that
HollyRandall: besides, it's not supposed to be real and in-depth
HollyRandall: it's wanker material, remember?
Victoria Red is my new favorite. Victoria wouldn't allow you to watch. She's tough. She's very together, very smart. She works as a personal trainer-- that's her main gig. I If you can't tell from her rockin' abs. I told her that in between sets she should have us all doing push ups.

What Is LA Like?

Ben writes on XPT:

According to Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee) Los Angeles is a weird place "like a coal mining town except that no one actually works in the mines - everyone is just hanging around." I think he means that LA is like this weird city out in the desert that has been built specifically for the film industry with everyone there working or looking for work in films.

Jeff Steward, owner of JM Productions, writes: "LA is full of whores and that my friend is a good thing."

G_Jacobson writes: "In other cities people are busy working during the weekdays. In LA you can go out during the weekdays and see tons of people just hanging out."

Rob Longshot writes:

L.A. is like living in a 3d movie of the Apocalypse. It is actually possibly to WATCH western civilization crumble around you in real time. In many ways it is an accelerated vision of same crubling structres we see everywhere, L.A. is just ahead of the curve. Look at the immigrant situation, the gangs, the whores, the media, the excess, the abstinence, the scientologists.... all the extremes are represented in one place that is no longer a melting pot, but a boiling pot ready to boil over at any second.

I don't care about fake people, those are everywhere. The scientologists on the other hand, well it is nice not to see a Dianetics Center on every freakin block. As far as the rest of it, I did leave.

DanG writes: "Yeah, I mean, if I wanted to get away from Scientologists, Florida is the first place I'd move to. Say, where does the Church of Sscientology have its US headquarters again?"

What's The Point Of Lukeisback?

I look for meaning.

Nothing that is human is foreign to me or boring to me.

Pornographers are as human to me as any other socially-shunned clique.

I look for where porners find meaning in their work. I try to understand how the business works. I want to know how the work affects relationships. I don't believe you can lead a happy fulfilling life without enjoying deep meaningful relationships with others (romantic and platonic), which is hard to do when you work in porn (because you get socially ostracized).

If someone is getting hit on the head to the point where permanent damage may be done, that's important and compelling, whether such a thing occurs in porn or in football.

I seek stories that are compelling and important. Most of the time I don't find stories that meet those criteria but that is my goal.

I don't feel comfortable writing sexually explicit material. I don't like profanity. I don't like hardcore pictures. I try to keep these things off my blog.

Lukeisback is part of man's search for meaning.

How a person earns his living and spends his money is revelative of his character (H. L. Mencken) along with how he conducts himself while drunk and who his friends are. This is worth me writing about, whether a person earns his living from manufacturing aspirin or porn.

Do porners find meaning in their porn work? Some do and some don't. Pornography is the lowest form of artistic expression. Almost all pornographers with artistic talent wish they were doing something else but they can't make a living creating any form of art but porn.

Joanna Angel Is Number One On Luke's New MySpace Account

Lon comments: "Joanna Angel is Luke's Number 1. Holly Randall doesn't make his Top 8. There's a story there for an enterprising journalist..."

It was too painful to look at her picture every time I logged on to my MySpace.

Holly responds: "That's 'cause Luke don't like me no more, even though I made him soup this week, AND gave him the idea to set up this profile. But I will suffer in silence, as is my way..."

At least you will always have your vegetable garden. Holly's secret garden. Her dark loamy soil where she likes to get dirty, sew seeds, and watch them grow.

Lon comments: "Holly Randall....you will never go out of style. Don't tell me you haven't noticed that Luke refuses to introduce us... I, for one, know how to show appreciation for a homemade bowl of soup. Hey everyone, lets make sure all of Luke's comments are about Holly, just like his site!"

'You Should Marry Cassandra'

James: you should marry cassandra
James: her womb is still fertile, she's as smart as you
Luke: i just love to hear her chatter away, she's well-read, introspective, kind
James: by the time most women reach the level of worldiness she possesses, they're barren
James: or it's a 3/4 shot something teratogenic's in her bloodstream and the baby will resemble a spallone
James: any new books of grand unifying theories under your belt?
James: she's far better suited to your station in life than kendra. Smiling arab and i have decided she's ideal for any smart person, but she's a member of your tribe. She's the first girl I could ever see you collaborating with. Could you imagine the summation of both of you on one site?

Hustler Blacklisted with Top Modeling Agency LADirectModels.com?

Derek, owner of LADirect says: "This is untrue. I have not blacklisted Drew or any LFP directors or LFP or Hustler. LA Direct Models enjoys a solid and professional working relationship with LFP/ Hustler and Drew Rosenfeld."

Drew Rosenfeld responds:

In response to your comments (normally I never respond): You obviously prefer not to have a relationship with Hustler/VCA. I don't need to defend my position at LFP. Those who work with me and know me personally know exactly how I run things at LFP video. LFP video is currently releasing some of the best product it's ever had and our sales reflect exactly that. While your story is fun to read it bears no merit and reads like a diary from a director who cannot contain his or her jealousy's. Things are going very well at LFP Video. We've given alot of opportunities to some newer directors while continuing to work with some long time LFP directors. We're about to launch a new gonzo line called Hustler Hardline featuring some of the most talented gonzo directors out there. Finally, LA Direct Models and LFP have always had an excellent relationship. We continue to work together on many projects. I'm quite sure Derek Hay would agree with me that your comments regarding our working relationship is untrue. Just be sure your getting ALL your facts straight, LUKE.

Drew Rosenfeld (drosenfeld at lfp.com), Creative Director of LFP Video, and Richard Sankey (rsankey at lfp.com), Production Coordinator for LFP, email:

To All Directors:

Re: booking talent in advance for shoots. Please note that we are not advocating 'Blacklisting,' nor are we refusing to work with ANY agency in regards to booking talent. Much to the contrary, it is important for LFP, inc. to use every agency, management company, and independent contractor at our disposal in a continuing effort to find the best possible performers for our product.

If you plan on using talent from LA Direct Models, we simply ask that you make sure your complete budget proposal is turned in to us a minimum of three weeks in advance. That will give us adequate time to process your budget and approve your production check so that you can properly book your projects. LA Direct has requested that production funds be secured prior to booking their models, and we are attempting to honor that request. We look forward to continuing our outstanding relationships with every agency long into the future.

If you ever have any questions or concerns regarding your budgets, or the proper booking of your talent, please don't hesitate to contact us here at LFP.

A porner writes (and this email was widely circulated around the industry before I got it Friday afternoon):

Drew Rosenfeld, creative director for LFP Video, has managed to alienate probably the best talent agency [Derek Hay of LA DirectModels.com] in town.

This came after Rosenfeld continually booked and cancelled shoots and after Rosenfeld's disorganization and arrogant manner became too difficult to work with. Rosenfeld was required to notify all directors to seek talent elsewhere as LA Direct Models refuses to work on a Hustler production. The directors were already frustrated as they were often given a green light at a very short notice, forcing them to be left with the dregs of Talent that nobody else wanted for their Hustler productions.

So how is it that Rosenfeld with no experience with a camera goes from set builder and runner one day to having arguably the most powerful job at LFP the next? Like most jobs given away at LFP, Rosenfeld got his by accident and he’ll probably stay there for some time until Larry Flynt eventually wakes up and sees the damage that he’s done.

After Mark Kramer left, Rosenfeld was moved into his position simply because he was there and no one else at LFP knew the business. Then came along Tyler Goldman, the mainstream mistake that cost Larry dearly. With Goldman having no experience in the adult industry whatsoever and Rosenfeld ass kissing Goldman, Rosenfeld was moved up the corporate ladder.

Rosenfeld now makes all production decisions, deciding which of his buddies to hire and how much they get paid. Probably the most wooed and bribed position in the whole company.

Luke says: I've been on set with Richard Montford many times and I've never noticed anything inappropriate in his behavior.

First order of business, Rosenfeld hired long time friend Richard Montford as top Hustler director. Of course Montford had never picked up a video camera before Rosenfeld gave him the Hustler gigs. Montford has been around the industry for a while, known as an adequate production stills guy but more famously despised by talent and companies alike for his nasty demeanor and abusive behavior towards the talent. He was fired from his last work as stills guy for Sin City for his behavior as well as several others. Most memorable was his treatment of actress Chloe, which, after she walked off the set, caused him to be banned from ever working for VCA and any of their directors, that was of course until Larry bought VCA and Rosenfeld brought him back. Most talent describe him as “nasty and demeaning to women..."

Rosenfeld seems to have some affinity for this director. While award winning directors with successful shows at Hustler cannot get Rosenfeld on the phone, Montford seems to get every opportunity. Larry doesn’t realize he has already lost two of his best directors to competitors simply because they don’t want to deal with Rosenfeld.

To strengthen his position, Rosenfeld just hired an assistant Richard Sankey, and in keeping it all in the Rosenfeld family Sankey happens to be Montford's assistant.

And how does Larry miss all this, once again? Jeff Hawkins heads up video. A likable guy who has managed LFP magazines for many years but who admits the video division is a great learning curve for him.

Acquiring Rosenfeld along with the division, Hawkins puts faith in Rosenfeld, besides there is no one there that knows adult video production.

So once again it’s the blind leading the blind at Hustler. Meanwhile Rosenfeld gets to choose the directors who get the work and their budgets. He gets to prevent talent, directors and others from working, all to the detriment of LFP while he lines his own pockets.

Side story, Angela, who headed up box cover art, quit this week. Had enough of the BS. She plans to go to a competitor.

David Christopher Chat

I haven't spoken to the director in years.

He's been in porn since 1976. He ran Coast to Coast for eight years (until about 1993).

I call him Friday afternoon.

David: "I'm doing what I always do -- Decadent Divas, Pussyman, Facesitters."

Luke: "Dating anyone?"

David: "Not for two years. I want to go single for a while. The girls are too crazy."

His last two wives were from the industry.

David: "I'm getting older. I don't have much patience.

"I have not publicized myself over the past year. AVN came to my set. They didn't write what they were supposed to."

We share a chuckle about Mary Carey.

David: "I wouldn't want to date her but she has a great personality."

Luke: "What percentage of your work do you find meaningful? All of it?"

David: "Yeah. I like to shoot girls. I'm a voyeur."

David was married to a famous dominatrix in the 1980s - Candide (sp?). Then in the 1990s he was married to Sana Fey.

Luke: "What are you reading these days?"

David: "Anything against Bush. What are you reading?"

Luke: "The Modern Jewish Girl's Guide to Guilt. Great stuff."

David: "Still with that guilt stuff. Jewish guys have tons of guilt, but not about sex. I have tons of guilt, but not about sex. I'm Woody Allen."

Luke: "Do you find anything different about today's porn girls?"

David: "Yeah. They're just in it for the money. Half the time they don't show up. They're not as beautiful. They're wilder. They start having sex at an earlier age. Years ago they were more on the ball. More responsible. So many of the girls who come to see me now I would've thrown out of my office years ago.

"A lot of the time the girls now just melt into one.

"Anything else? I'm in the middle of getting some stuff done. That was pretty good, right?"

Joseph Elkind Update

JoeE: "I'm sitting on the beach [in Florida]."

Luke: "You're not in Phoenix [at the CCBill show]?"

JoeE: "Why would I do that? I don't tell nobody what I'm doing. I'm looking after my daughter."

Donkey Punch Discussion

SickandTired describes on ADT the Alex Devine scene in DonkeyPunch:

-Alex talks to the cameraman several times about French hitting her with "that hand" or "that ring." At least 5 times that I counted.

-Alex talks to French more than 8 times about hitting her with "that hand" or "that ring" for the scene. She does laugh about it once early on, but is definitely angry about it towards the end of the shoot.

-Alex threatens to "not finish the shoot" to the cameraman about 2/3 of the way thru the scene if French "uses that hand again."

-French tries to choke her a couple of times and she clearly says "don't choke me," to him...and he complies. He even says (staying "in character" it would seem) "I won't choke you" or "I won't hurt you," and complies with her request to not choke her. So clearly, he could understand her and, when he wished, not do things she asked. During one of the early anal entries she cries out in pain and asks for a break, and he complies again, clearly understanding her and withdraws from her anus.

-The part where she is hit on the "wrong" side of her head (seen in the trailer) occurs WHILE French comes in her ass. She says quite plainly "PLEASE STOP" and pulls away, but he's already come. The cameraman/director THEN starts talking and says "WAIT, RIGHT THERE" and then the scene cuts as Alex pulls away from French and accuses him of hitting her on "the wrong side." It should be noted that, contrary to some of the opinions presented here, French did NOT hit her in the "wrong side" of her head with his ring hand. He clearly hits her with his LEFT hand and his right is gripping her ass, with the ring clearly visible. It was still clearly a non-welcomed assault by Alex, but he didn't use his ring at all for that particular attack. From what I could see, at no time does his ring ever come into contact with her head for the entire shoot.

-After the above incident, the scene (with camera still rolling) continues with mayhem ensuing. Alex is upset (the camera is all over the place so hard to see facial expressions for this segment) and complaining about the incident, the director is upset that the money shot was screwed up (cum has already leaked out of her ass onto the black couch), so French is asked to re-insert his cock in her ass so they can shoot the "donkey punch" again (words spoken by the cameraman) and fake the orgasm. Alex clearly says "I don't give a s--- about the donkey punch, just DONT HIT THIS SIDE." The director requests that she show French where not to hit her, she does, and they re-engage and fake the orgasm...again with a "donkey punch" but obviously not in the "wrong spot" this time.

-The ring is featured prominently in several of the shots. There are even a few closeups of JUST French's right hand with the ring on it.

-This is, obviously, a very rough scene. Alex does encourage and invite a lot of abuse verbally, even asking him to hit her stomach during a reverse cowgirl shot. And he "foot slaps" her head violently several times, some of which occurs while she lying on her back and laughing about it. The scene has escalating dialogue the entire time with her getting more and more upset about the ring, but it is interspersed with her also encouraging and/or laughing about some of the other abusive treatment. She even "disses" French about the taste of his ass several times.

-After the shot ends, Grip, Cram and Alex do a short scene where she is roughed up "playfully" by them (and appears to rough them up also) and they claim that "this cunt f---ed up the scene right at the end." Again Alex makes some complaints (it sounds good-natured here to be honest) about getting hit in the "wrong spot," to which Cram replies with a slap to her head that "There's no wrong spot to hit a woman." They then have her lick up the cum that dripped out onto the couch and apologize to the viewers. The Johnson's then said that she f---ed up the production although admit that "Alex did get a pretty good beating."

Quasarman writes on ADT:

I'm pretty sure Malcolm McDowell didn't actually rape the woman in the first scene. I'm almost positive he didn't actually kill that homeless guy either. Above and beyond that obvious truth is the fact that Kubrick was making a statement about society in general whereas in Donkey Punch, there is no statement other than it's apparently fun to punch a girl in the back of the head while f---ing her and the punch is not simulated by a trained stuntman, it's real and it's delivered by an untrained chimp hopped up on viagra.

That being said, much as I'm loathe to defend it, everyone who agreed to participate in the movie knew what they were getting into. That's enough to satisfy my Libertarian sensibility. I certainly don't condone it and the responsible members of the adult community should indeed condemn it but If a girl accepts a paycheck for being punched in the back of the head, regardless of how much she needs the money, she's an idiot plain and simple.

David Aaron Clark writes on ADT:

If there's one thing that irritates the piss out of me it's the fatuous jerks who of course know that violence in mainstream movies is SIMULATED & performed by unionized, fully protected & trained STUNTMEN & WOMEN, yet still bring up your tiresome & tired rationalization.

(Yeah, it's a wonder Jet Li hasn't been ARRESTED, the way he breaks people's bones & s--- in his movies, riiiight?)

As for still being on friendly terms with the "director," if you want to call him that, anyone familiar with the tropes of domestic abuse -- not to mention pimpology 101 -- knows that victims tend to continue the cycle of abuse by drifting back towards their abusers.

Rob Spallone Bounty Hunter

I call him at 10:50 a.m. Friday.

Rob: "I'm playing Dog the Bounty Hunter. I'm running around and arresting people. I'm in my SWAT uniform. It's a porno for Craig Valentine. You know Summer Haze? She don't look like Dog's wife?

"The Howard Stern Show called me. They're going to give me a date [to go on the show]. I'm going to shoot the world's oldest gangbang. I'll fly in with the girl."

Luke: "That's a great honor."

Rob: "Would you like to be on the set? See a bunch of shrivelled up old... Guys like Herschel Savage, Bill Margold, Ron Jeremy, Henri Pachard.

"A friend of mine from New York died yesterday. Jay the DJ. He went down to visit my brother Roy in Costa Rica. He went to sleep and didn't wake up."

I'm tired of the Holocaust as a literary device

I'm reading Thane Rosenbaum's first book Elijah Visible. It's thinly disguised autobiography about a lawyer named Adam Posner (read Thane Rosenbaum), the child of Holocaust survivors who turns his back on the moral demands of his tradition and bangs shiksas.

Now, before I truly understood the profundity of the Torah, I enjoyed banging shiksas as much as anybody. But that doesn't mean I want to read about such behavior when it is excused by being the child of Holocaust survivors.

When I get married, sex is going to be special in a way that secular people such as Thane Rosenbaum will never understand.

I'm tired of writing about lawyers imagining themselves stuck in a cattle car instead of an elevator or spoiled brats drifting away from a Passover Seder and finding themselves in the Holocaust.

I'm tired of Jews (be they literary characters or real people) who weren't in the Holocaust using the Shoah as a get-out-of-jail card for their own bad behavior.

Women say 'casual sex is immoral'

The Sex and the City image of women seeking casual encounters for pleasure does not quite fit the latest research.

Nine out of 10 women interviewed in-depth about their views said they thought one night stands were immoral.

Dr Sharron Hinchcliff will tell the British Psychological Society conference in Cardiff it made her question whether women have really gained the sexual freedom they are supposed to have enjoyed since the 1960s.

The death of the men's shopping magazine

Michael Agger writes for Slate: "As a fashion-forward friend once told me: Most men care about how they look, but only two groups of men will consistently admit to caring about how they look, namely gay men and African-Americans. Cargo would naturally appeal to the younger members of these two demographics, but it also needed these alleged metrosexuals to get on board."

MyPornoReview blogs: "Only a black person can get away with this... Can you imagine a "wigger" wearing that frisbee size pendant and eagle on his wrist? NOOOOOOOO!! Only a black man in America can get away with that."

In Loving Memory Of Greg At Sherman Oaks Newsstand

Jon Crowley writes:

He passed-away very unexpectedly last Sunday night after working his shift at the Sherman Oaks Newsstand (the corner of Van Nuys and Ventura boulevards). You’ve probably seen him a million times as you passed the intersection: he was in his late fifties… always wore a ballcap… and, of course, sported his trademark ZZ Top beard.

I first met Greg about five years ago when I moved into the area. Looks can be deceiving; I took him to be a tough guy (probably because of his beard). I shoulda remembered what my Mom taught me as a kid about people: Don’t judge a book by its cover. That was Greg. From the start, I discovered he was a softy. He always had a joke to share, or an interesting observation. To be certain, he always had a smile or a hello for you.

Holly Randall's Photography

Chris from Birmingham, UK, emails:

I'm no fan of porn but have over 23 years experience as a "serious" photographer and have studied Holly's work on the net (never seen anything printed) and within the context of porn photography, Randall's work is of a high order. I would be interested to know/see if she has done any other kind of photo work?

Chris, I know nothing about photography (as you can see by looking at my own photography). What makes Holly's work so good? Could you give me any specifics?

Chris responds:

It is sound technical stuff in terms of lighting, makeup, hair and pose. She is not doing anything which is intense and has a deeper visual meaning ala Paul Outerbridge. But it's difficult to do the same kind of thing again and again and come up with the goods, in that sense she is admirable and it's very hard work!

Holly responds:

Yes, but I don't have model releases for the girls I shot back in high school and college. Normally I would think that the girls would not have an issue with it, but if I post these in association with porn (which I would if I was posting them as Holly Randall), they may raise some objections.

Holly posts on XPT:

Say whatever you want, because it's obvious some of you don't understand how important and difficult it is to get good content for many of the model sites. In fact, I had Club Jenna contact me the other day about just that. It's a good deal for all involved-- why would I pay the girls and give them all the content as well? That would make no sense, and be totally unfair to the two to three shoots we do a week for magazine publications and video, in which I do pay the girls their rate, but keep the content. This is something I am doing totally on my own, on the weekends, for my own enjoyment and to be able to work with girls that I like on a personal level, but can't always fit into my busy week schedule. I either work with one assistant or no one at all-- it's just very difficult for me to produce 4-7 sets in a day without a guy helping me move equipment and take meter readings. If you had any idea how my photoshoots work, and how many lights we use, you would understand it's pretty much impossible for me to work without an assistant. I cover ALL costs, BTW-- makeup, food, assistant fee, processing, color correcting... I've got Justine Joli and Kimberly Kane booked for Sunday, and I'm very much looking forward to a fun, more laid-back day of shooting where I don't have to stress about getting a full layout, and where I have complete creative freedom.

G_Jacobson writes on XPT:

The reason she would offer a "content exchange" is because a few of these girls actually have the brains to market their own content in addition to just working for other people.

Also, the average porn "producer" is nothing but a jerkoff with a consumer cam and an on-camera flash so doing a content exchange with someone like Holly is a good opportunity.

I do content exchanges with models when I have the time. When they show up on your set and realize you are not just another moron with a handycam they tend to want to work with you over and over.

Crystal Klein posts on XPT:

Being one of the lucky models who got to do a content exchange shoot with Holly just very recently, I feel I need to step in here and take a stand. I think those that criticize Holly and call her cheap completely forget about the fact that some of us models actually run their own business and do not just work for other companies. Therefore, a shoot with Holly that allows us to keep the content and promote ourselves with it, is of incredible value. Website content is often about quantity instead of quality these days, and if a model wants to stand out with her single girl website, and also puts emphasis on the artistic value of the pictures, she is well advised to shoot with extraordinary photographers like Holly Randall. Centerfolds like me know the difference between magazine-like quality shots and cheap amateur content. I, for my part, feel much more like it is about the beauty of the model when I shoot with someone like Holly than just creating money shots for those who would jerk off to ANY pussy. So, again, Holly, I am incredibly thankful to have been able to shoot with you for free, and creating all those amazing shots. My members will love them.

Tim Von Swine/Vince Vouyer Part Ways

Tim Von Swine (ex-RLD director) posts on ADT:

It's now official that Vince and I are no longer affiliated. Things have been a bit too slow for me so far this year so we both decided it would be better if I were to pursue other XXX options. Working for Vince has definitely helped jumpstart my career and for that I will always be grateful.

Whatever Happened To Bunny Luv?

Arin writes on ADT: "The girl was GORGEOUS, and had a phenominal body with probably the best looking natural set of tits in the business. The last movie I saw of her was Bella's perversions with belladonna...and then she just disappeared."

Gentleman Jon writes: "She is now directing for Digital Playground under the name Celeste. I've never seen one, but I hear she has a penchant for playing music in her scenes that completely covers up the sounds of the performers that many, many people do not like."

Masamune writes:

Didn't she marry Robby D. of Digital Playground?

In the behind-the-scenes of 'Pirates' she looks 10 times hotter than any of the DP contract stars... Devon, Jesse, Janine. She's definitely gorgeous.

Lenny writes: "I love watching Jesse Jane and the other girls at DP, but I find Celeste's (aka Bunny Luv) films unwatchable. Why would you ever want to mute Jesse Jane during sex (unless you're f--king her in the upstairs boys locker room and she's howling like a dog, but then you could just stuff a sock in her mouth )? Celeste's films also do the slow motion thing which I also hate."

Croy writes: "She is a natural beauty, not a chop shop job. The lack of extensive facial plastic surgery also helps."

Doing Something About Donkey Punch

SickandTired writes on ADT:

Well admidst all this passive nansy-pansy shadowboxing, I decided to actually DO something about this.

I bought 4 copies of this DVD although it was difficult to locate a copy. Then I printed out this entire thread, Alex's original thread and every other thread I could find that discussed it, including the one over on Chatworth's own cess-pool of a web forum and the referenced Mike South article. I further created a list of what I deem to be other films that show graphic depictions of abusive, violent and physically harmful behaviors towards women, including hard slapping (which can cause brain damage or whiplash if not done properly) and choking of the female talent involved, along with links to trailers and other information about these offensive films. I also included typed transcripts of Alex Divine's communication with her attacker during the video scene where her attacker repeatedly hits her despite her pleas to stop.

I then sent these care packages this morning, along with a formal letter of complaint about this incident, to the following individuals, asking them to please investigate the matter further: Kim Gandy, President - National Organization for Women (N.O.W.) Johnathan Raven, Director of Victims Services for the State of California Bill Lockyer, Office of Attorney General for the State of California.

Doing my part to stamp out this vile, reprehensible attack against innocent women like Alex. Hopefully, the Victims Rights advocacy group or N.O.W. will help/encourage her to file the appropriate charges. If you can think of anyone else I should foward this information to, please advise.

Nietzsche writes: "Just because of sickandtired, I'm going to buy 4 copies of Donkey Punch and furiously jerk off to the Alex Devine scene every day for the next month, and I suggest that every other member on this board do the same if they believe in free speeh. If you do not buy Donkey Punch, the terrorists have won."

AbsenceofFaith writes:

SickandTired... for all the flaming you'll be getting for acting on your beliefs, I for one have to commend you.

"They're gonna take our porn!" If this is really the tipping point for anti-porn crusaders and the industry is shut down, as some fear, I'll be sad; I like porn, and I'm not gonna deny that rough sex can be arousing to watch. But if that happens, you're not going to be the one to credit/blame. It's either an eventuality, or a never-will-happen due to the wonderful first amendment.

But as far as I'm concerned, free speech ends at profiting off of physically harming others. I happened upon the trailer for "Donkey Punch" because my all-time favorite performer, the supremely beautiful Haley Scott, was in it. I figured, "rough sex, okay, sounds watchable, especially with Deja Daire too." Then I saw Haley in tears - and it didn't look like the simple "gagging and mascara running" tears - and my stomach turned.

I know the girls consented and got paid for this. I DON'T CARE. IT DOES NOT MATTER. Is it being anti-free-choice or demeaning women to say they don't have the right to choose to pay to be beaten? Maybe, but again, I see the right to free choice ending where people get seriously hurt. The money being exchanged is 100% irrelevant.

Again, I enjoy seeing some rough sex; despite all of my rambling here, I'm not claiming any sense of moral purity or perfection. But there's a world of difference between Donkey Punch and rough sex that the girls enjoy, or at least tolerate, get paid for, and is done with controlled risks that make the danger of serious harm negligible.

As far as I'm concerned, you're to be lauded for your role in this, for at least attempting to make a change. There is nothing arousing about seeing a woman sobbing and crying out in pain. And there is nothing that condones assaulting a woman who has explicitly informed you that a certain act could mean serious harm to her. To each and every person here who has spoken out against this movie, thank you for proving that most porn fans don't fit the "heartless, sick pervert" stereotype that is all too common.

Scott McGowan On Donkey Punch

He writes:

I simply cannot see any reason why a woman who has had surgeries that required the base of her skull to be opened would do a scene that required her to be punched anywhere in the head. When I asked her about that on the telephone on Tuesday, she told me point blank, “I did it for the money.”

Luke Gets Mail

Stephen Anzalone writes me:

I'm just curious who the f--- you think you are to drop names like Craig [Marino] and John [Baudanza], and call them what you call them ["gangsters"]? I dont see people calling your mother a crack whore and reviewing what pipe hitting niggers pull trains on her. Go f--- yourself, its people like you that are unhappy with the mundaine existance you eek out, so you spend your time talking about the MEN you wish you had the balls to be. Get a job, and a hobby you pathetic little dick smoker.

I found your website, and the "review" you gave on Privilege on 23rd street and the bulls--- you said about it. What is a pole smoker like you doing in titty bars anyway? Your boyfriend would be very unhappy.

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows

"Just watch Fishbein, writes Tod Hunter:

First AVN gives a 3-1/2 star review to "Donkey Punch," which I haven't seen but sounds like just the kind of thing that would give the misogyny-brutality contingent at That Magazine paroxysms of glee, and then Mike South presses him on the subject and Fishbein says "We won't review Donkey Punch movies any more," and then Fishbein has a little chat with Jeff and whammo it disappears. Isn't even on the JM Website any more.

What was it Mark Twain said? "Always do what's right. This will gratify some people and surprise the rest."

Somebody deserves kudos here: Maybe Mike South, maybe Jeff, maybe even Fishbein, who knows.

Den from CAVR.com writes Mike South: "Mike, good job in reporting this to Mr. Fishbein. Sure wish you would also get him to stop reviewing the choking movies. AVN needs to take a stand on choking!"

Your Life As Story

Penthouse Pet Crystal Klein replies:

Nothing to dish, as usual. If I did have something to dish, I would, as I am always very thrilled about your interpretation of it on your site. Too bad I can't think of anything to dish that would remotely have anything to do with porn.

On another note however, I found it a very meaningful coincidence to see Holly read the book "Your life as a story", only to find out that you recommended it to her. Now guess what: I was much faster than you. I've had this very book for almost two years now, and have read most of it. Most of it is forgotten by now, but hey, I tried. I might just give it a try again.

So you are wondering what's so interesting in my life to be writing about? Well, I guess not much, as I still haven't written one single page of it. But I've been planning to do so my whole life. I wish I was a pornographer's daughter. Much more interesting. Jealous.

What's going on with you and your constant struggle to understand the mystery called Holly? Any news?

Tone Capone Update

He calls me back at 8:41 p.m. Thursday: "What's good, nigger?

"When are you coming to the 'hood with me?

"I got my own internet radio show once a week. Check me out April 14 at 5:15 a.m. on KCLAFM.com. After that, you can catch me every Thursday at midnight. I've been trying to focus on my radio announcing skills.

"I play underground rap music. If I want to play a song that says 'bitch' one thousand times, I can do that.

"I'm looking for sponsors for my radio show. tone_capone@yahoo.com."

According to The New York Times: "Blacks and other members of minorities of various ages are merging onto the digital information highway as never before."

Tone: "I did two scenes today."

Luke: "Are you smoking dope right now?"

Tone: "Is that what you white folks call it? Dope?

"I call it what it is -- marijuana. Weed. It's a relaxer."

Joanna Angel Interview

I phone her in New York Thursday afternoon.

Luke: "You're having your Joanna's Angels 2 party on the seventh day of Passover (April 18). What's up with that?"

Joanna: "Are you going to come?"

Luke: "No. It's a holy day."

Joanna: "I'm not eating pizza there [bread and such is forbidden during Passover]."

Luke: "You deliberately scheduled that so that Orthodox Jews can not make it to your party."

Joanna: "Is the seventh night a holy night?"

Luke: "Yes. And the eighth night."

Joanna: "I thought it was just the first two nights."

Luke: "No. You didn't learn much in yeshiva."

Joanna: "I know I'm cute but I'm not so young and I haven't practiced the Jewish laws in so many years, I've forgotten some of them. I guess I shouldn't invite my parents.

"Are you going to write in to me your problems for my new Spin magazine column? It's a dream column to write about people's sex problems. They hired me because they want me to give bad advice. I'm having the time of my life. I'm telling people to do so many sinful things.

"Every issue they are going to have a one-page photo of me. They did shoots where I look like a librarian, a nurse and a schoolgirl. I hope they use the librarian one. It's my favorite. I was an English major.

"I know this kid who got kicked out of highschool for having sex in a library. I'm jealous. I've always wanted to have sex in a library. I've never dated anyone into libraries. I've only had sex with one person who's graduated college."

Luke: "Blown any rock stars lately?"

Joanna: "No, I just make Kylee Kross do it instead. Sometimes I'll just watch and it'll make me feel like I am young again.

"I'm too old to hang out with student bands.

"I thought I would get my mojo back at the South-by-Southwest festival. I didn't.

"It used to be that I would have sex with at least one or two members of every band that came through town. Now there are all these new bands and I haven't slept with anyone in any of them.

"Once you start doing porn and having sex with professionals, you realize that these student bands aren't that good in bed."

Luke: "Which porn stars are the best in bed?"

Joanna: "Manuel Ferrara and James Deen.

"Manuel is romantic. He makes you feel like the center of the universe. I was in Ass Wreckage with him. Even when you're in some dirty movie with him, he still makes it romantic. He's a ladies man. When he saw me at AVN, he said, 'Oh Joanna, I can't wait to make love to you again.'"

She giggles. "Mr. Marcus is also romantic. He loves women. It feels nice every once in a while. You get tossed around like a whore all the time. It's nice when somebody treats you nicely and ----- you like a lady."

Joanna tells a man that she's on the phone with me and she wants privacy.

Luke: "Is he your boss?"

Joanna: "He's my partner [in burningangel.com]. I don't get bossed around by anybody."

Luke: "How are your parents dealing with the Joanna Angel phenomenon as it keeps getting higher?"

Joanna: "You started it. It's all your fault.

"I was on Page Six [of the New York Post]. It's been a secret dream to be on Page Six.

"My parents are proud because when someone asks my mom what I do, she can say, 'Joanna writes for Spin.'

"When people make small talk with me and I don't feel like [revealing her porn work], I can say, 'I write for Spin.'"

Luke: "How was South-by-Southwest?"

Joanna: "I puked all over Eon [McKai's] shoes in the street."

Luke: "Did he think it was an alt thing for you to do?"

Joanna: "He thought it was a really alternative thing for me to do.

"I drank a pitcher of margaritas at this Mexican restaurant. Then I went to another bar and had a few shots. I had one shot too many. Ohmigod, I feel it coming on.

"I ran outside and puked all over the street. Eon came with me to help me and he held my hair and I puked on his shoes.

"Then I washed them for him.

"I don't do drugs anymore. Sometimes I just have to drink alcohol. I made a New Year's resolution to drink more and do less drugs. Isn't that normal? I want to be a normal American."

Luke: "Do you go to therapy?"

Joanna: "I do."

Luke: "Are you making a lot of progress?"

Joanna: "I think so. I just talk and she listens. Her name is Dr. Christina. One time I talked about you.

"Sometimes she thinks I'm lost. She thinks I need a better separation between who I am and who Joanna Angel is. Because I have to be Joanna Angel so much, I forget who's who.

"She's right. That $75 an hour is doing something."

Luke: "What makes James Deen such a great lover?"

Joanna: "He's really rough and sometimes I like that. He's not so rough with me any more.

"There were a bunch of guys I was with who I'd tell to hit me or choke me and no one did it hard enough. Finally I met someone who did it hard enough. I had this fantasy and nobody was able to fulfill it because they were scared of hurting me.

"He knows how to do rough stuff the right way."

Luke: "How did you do on your South-by-Southwest marketing panel?"

Joanna: "I tried to make jokes but people weren't laughing. The owner of break.com, a college humor site with people falling down the stairs, as part of his presentation, he was going to show a video on the internet but his plug-in wasn't working. I said, 'We can watch one of my videos instead.' But nobody laughed.

"Nobody had any questions for me. One person asked me for my autograph.

"Afterwards, I felt like I was the stupidest one on the panel.

"Rufus from Nerve.com said to me, 'Looks like you are doing pretty good.' I interned for him."

Luke: "He used to stare at your breasts."

Joanna: "Everyone did. I wanted them to. I'd go into the office wearing low-cut shirts. I liked the attention."

Did Lexxi Tyler Run Into Jenna Presley At Rouge Tuesday Night?

Nope. Lexxi replies: "I didn't end up going to Rouge. I was too tired and sick of driving in the rain. Jenna's just a little girl striving for attention. My name shouldn't have even been in the same sentence as hers...but oh well! She'll grow up one of these days and realize there's much more to life than all this drama she creates. But in the meantime you can always count on her to give you a story."

Jackasses Making Donkey Punch

Kelly Allen writes:

Luke: I once thought the greatest threat to porn, as we know it today, was the repressive mindset of george w bush (a little man in every way) armed with the hypocrisy of the over-zealous religious right, but that "pales" in comparison with what gonzo directors are doing to their own industry---"We have met the enemy, and it is us."

By its very nature, gonzo film production, is a time-bomb waiting to explode, for lacking true innovative talent or cinematography expertise, gonzo directors, increasingly have relied on extreme violence as some kind of macabre compensation. Donkey Punch, only the latest, but by far the most dangerous of the gonzo "gimmicks" to gain paying customers, has to be the by-product of deep-rooted mental illness--perhaps Mommy didn't buy him that red bike he wanted, or even worse, he sucked on mom's tit till he was twelve, but this Grip Johnson needs to get a "grip" on the nearest phone, and seek professional help.

I'm far from an expert on human anatomy, but I know a couple of things. (1) the skull, is the last part of the human body to develop to maturity and (2) Located at the base of the skull, is the brain stem, an extremely delicate organ, connecting directly to the spinal cord. As a result, in all athletic contests, except boxing, blows to the head are illegal and heavily penalized. Even boxers, however, cannot strike the back of the head-- called a "rabbit punch," derived from the barbaric practice of clubbing live rabbits to death, with a single blow to the skull. In addition, every sport, except professional boxing, requires protective head gear. A single titanium football helmet, worn by many college and pro teams, and even some high schoolers, can cost up to $1200.

Still, with all these precautions, and highly-qualified athletic trainers and medical doctors on the scene, head injuries continue to be the major cause of athletic deaths. To me, with more and more violence in gonzo film making, its no longer a case of "will it happen," but "when will it happen"--- a homicide investigation on an adult film set.

When one considers the fact, quite a number of female gonzo performers, mostly irresponsible teens, rely on a regimen of "uppers," and "downers," just to survive violent attacks on camera, its only a matter of time, before some young girl is choked to unconsciousness, or struck so severely, that she fails to wake up. And when that happens, "all the kings horses and all the kings men," won't be able to put porn back together again.

Donkey Punch Stupidity

Raul White writes me:

It's almost impossible for me to believe the outpouring of stupidity over this Donkey Punch bulls---, all these people ranting and raving about what a horror it is. Are you all morons? Have you ever seen a MAINSTREAM action/horror/violence movie where people get punched, slapped, thrown, pushed and tossed around? They are called STUNTMEN and STUNTWOMEN. Duh! For the love of god, it is common practice in a zillion non-porn movies for professional performers to agree and are paid to be the subject of physical abuse as part of the script. So what? In porn, the equation is the same, the guys and girls agree and are paid to be the subject of physical abuse. Have any of you low IQ twits ever seen a boxing match? Have you ever seen a pro wrestling match? Have you ever seen an Ultimate Fighting match? It is not "aggravated assault" as this hillbilly boob non-lawyer moron Mike South says--or perhaps thousands of actors and actresses should be arrested for their roles in mainstream Hollywood movies for doing something physical to other actors as part of the script.

South says that storeowners carrying this Donkey Punch crap will be arrested? Oh for the love god, Luke, what do you even print such imbecilic babblings from someone who obviously knows nothing of what he is talking about. For christ sake, even in porn, the making of SM and BD films feating actors being whipped and smacked around are common, zillions of SM and BD tapes come out every year, so what is the f---ing hysteria here? These are consenting adults being paid to make a movie, South and those similiarly inclined need to get a grip. I could care less about this Donkey Punch stuff, it does not turn me on in the least, but the boob-like hypcrisy of those wanting to "ban" it and the like, for the love of god, are all you porn people this intellectually shallow?

AVN Editor Mike Ramone responds:

"Morons?" This guy might want to save future uses of the word for those times he catches his own reflection (and yes, going by the spectacular stoopidity of his post, he more than qualifies for the plural). Hate to burst his little balloon, but apparently, he doesn't realize - to state the obvious for anyone over the age of seven - that actors in mainstream movies aren't really getting punched, etc., but are like, you know, just faking it? Or, if real punches are being thrown, it's between professional stunt persons, which female porn performers decidedly are not? As for BDSM titles, there' a huge difference between face slapping with an open hand or even flogging, and punching a female in the back of the head (and I'm unaware of any BDSM titles in which actual closed-fist punches are being thrown). As for "pro" wrestling, see above, i.e., "faking it," duh. As for Ultimate Fighting, those are professional mixed martial arts fighters. Any analogy to porn actresses is well, ultimately moronic.

Hey dude, ya got a "domestic disturbance" rap sheet by any chance?

Mary Carey's Drinking

I've heard stories about Mary Carey's breath blowing a gale of alcohol on sets.

I discretely bring it up Thursday morning over the phone.

Mary: "I'm packing for a store signing in Dallas. I'm running late."

Luke: "How was yesterday's shoot?"

Mary: "I love Crissy Moran. We used to hang out a lot when I was married. Her ex-boyfriend was friends with my ex-husband. I haven't seen her in a couple of years. It's easier for me to work with a girl I like than with a girl I think is disgusting."

Luke: "Did you drink while you were on set?"

Mary: "Umm."

I laugh. "Come on. You're getting a reputation for that."

Mary: "I just drink Gatorade on sets. I may have had a sip of wine, way before in the day. I was totally sober during my scene. I did good on my dialogue. I take my dialogue parts seriously.

"Then I had drama with Harold later. He gets annoyed with me after movie sets. I don't know why. We fight.

"Harold felt like he wasted his day going with me to a porn set. He wanted to go to the gym. We never do what he wants to do. We always do what I want to do.

"I see his point.

"I expect him to do a lot of things. 'Go do my laundry. Feed my dog.'

"Sometimes I'm a spoiled brat."

Luke: "You get away with what you can."

Mary laughs. "You should come with me on a trip. I get extra plane tickets. Harold would love the break. You could come help me. You could take my Polaroids. You could hang out in my hotel room with me.

"Luke's laughing, Harold. I don't think he likes it."

Harold: "There are a billion things I'd rather do than hang out on a porn set. But Mary says she needs me there for moral support."

Luke: "She was drinking again."

Harold: "She had a mini bottle of chardonay. She was pretty sober.

"Mary doesn't know how to do anything. The only thing Mary is good at is having sex. And she's a good dancer.

"You can tell she was spoiled growing up because she doesn't know how to do anything.

"She lives in a disgusting s---hole because she can't clean. I didn't grow up like that."

Mary: "At least I own something, Harold. You don't own anything."

Harold: "I owned something. I sold it."

Mary: "I own my condo. I own two cars. I own my IRA. I own my CDs [certificates of deposit].

"As soon as the election is over, if I lose, I'm moving to Florida. There's a high probability that I will lose.

"You have to write your laughs in. You just had a great big laugh. You had three big laughs. You have a great laugh. You should record you laugh and put it on your website."

Holly Randall and Suze.net Cheap?

Chuck Spears writes on XPT:

So I read that on Luke's site this morning and even though I am not in the business I thought wow isn't this kind of sad that the great Holly Randall who is talked up to no end on his site and in other places (here too!) can't afford to just pay the girls to get content for her site?

I mean isn't "content exchange" really just a big scam to get people to work for free? If you care about your web site and your content, don't you want to own it exclusively and not have to worry about any drama that might follow.

Is Holly's photography so great that people would want to waste their time working for her for free to just get pics? I mean hello, any idiot can take a picture of a pussy and sell it.

Holly tells me it is a good deal for the girls. Suze.net pays for the make-up artist and any other expenses. Holly gets to experiment with her photography. If the pictures are sold somewhere, then the model gets her fee.

The way Holly told it to me, she's a regular Mother Theresa.

I have no room to criticize as Holly paid for everything when we were together.

Holly IMs me:

If any idiot can take the kind of pictures that i can then tell Mr. Spears to go ahead and shoot something comparable to my stuff, since he's obviously an idiot. As he so clearly states, he knows nothing about the business and the one thing that girls who run their own website really need is content. I've had girls begging me to do this for a long time before i decided to do it. And may I also point out that we are still shooting just as much during the week and paying the girls their regular rates -- this is just something I do on the weekend for fun, and for extra content.

Pain and Unicorns: A Journey to the Center of Dana DeArmond

From Sleazegrinder.com:

So here is the scoop on the bangbros.com shoots: I was hired to do two scenes for assparade.com. I said I didn’t want to work with just any male talent, and if I couldn’t work with Tommy Pistol, I’d just do girl/girl scenes. They were like, “No, no, no, give us Tommy Pistol’s info,” and they flew us to Miami. Which was really nice of them. The BangBros company seems to be extremely unorganized, and no one called me to make sure I was on the plane or coming. And no one gave me any information about where I was staying or who was picking me up from the airport. So I was calling Tommy, and he was calling a girl that worked in the office, and I was upset because he being talent should not have to do P.A. work. I was pissed and ready to turn around and go home right then and there in the airport.

Donkey Punch Was Here

Grip Johnson writes on ADT Nov 30, 2005:

Chatsworth Pictures releases Donkey Punch Chatsworth, CA - Like tales of UFO's and Big Foot, everyone has heard stories about the sex act known as the ‘donkey punch.’ But, up until now, no one has ever seen one.

On December 5th, Chatsworth Pictures will make believers out of everyone with the highly anticipated release of Grip & Cram Johnson's Donkey Punch.

"When you're a kid, the world is full of mystery and wonder," states Cram Johnson. "But, as you get older, you realize all those mysteries were crap. Santa Claus isn't real. Man didn't land on the moon. And, no matter how many rubber masks they used to cover Belladonna's ugly gap-toothed face, The Fashionistas was still just another s---ty movie. The world needs something to believe in."

Chatsworth Pictures answers that need with its second release, Donkey Punch - a misogynistic masterpiece of terror and titillation.

"At first, I thought the ‘donkey punch’ was just another bedtime story my father had told me as a child," reflects Grip Johnson, "But, just as I was about to give up hope, I discovered that if you give women lots of money and a chance to avoid any real work or responsibility, they will let you beat the s--- out of them. Cram and I began to document this phenomenon immediately."

Chatsworth Pictures' well paid brigade of lawyers describe a ‘donkey punch’ as, "A powerful blow delivered to the back of a ‘consenting’ woman's head during doggy style anal sex at the moment of male climax for the sole ‘purpose of entertainment and fantasy,’ and is not meant to encourage violence towards women nor be imitated by the viewer at home. All performers are trained professionals with years of deep personal domestic abuse under their belts."

With Donkey Punch, the Johnson Brothers look to court, not only fans of graphically intense hardcore sex, but the much coveted 18 to death age bracket of men wronged by evil women.

"Every time a woman f---s a man over, a copy of Donkey Punch will be sold somewhere," asserts Grip. "We're the Dr. Phil of pornography. We help frustrated men express their anger and hatred of women in a semi-healthy manner."

"Really the sex is a framework for the violence," points out Cram. "We could just have easily beaten them while they were knitting, but it probably wouldn't sell as many copies."

Donkey Punch stars human punching bags Rachel Luv, Deja Daire, Alex Divine, and Haley Scott. All scenes feature anal internal pop shots, but no hole is off limit.

"If Steven French wants to f--- Alex Divine in a particular orifice while punching her head with his ring-finger, who are we to ask him to compromise his vision," adds Grip.

"It'd be like asking Da Vinci to use tempera on the Mona Lisa. Sure, it would have worked, but it wouldn't have the lasting effect that makes it priceless. Donkey Punch is going to leave a powerful impression on our social psyche, as well as on Deja Daire's head. Nuff said."

American Hardcore posts: "We here at American Hardcore do not condone violence in anyway nor do we support the negative treatment of women, as we feel it promotes the wrong views in a present vitriolic administration. However, this truly is the most important film to be made in recent years and is one of the funniest things i have ever seen we here at AH say "Smack those bitches up!" and thank god for CRAM AND GRIP."

Grip Johnson posts Dec 2, 2005: "For a bunch of masturbators, some of you cats are wound up pretty tight! Donkey Punch is friendly violent fun. And, no whore was dragged out of Sunday school to be in this movie so you can jerk off to your heart's content When you all die, you all will still get to that big ADT board in the sky. I promise. So relax. Have a drink. Rent a movie tonight. If not Donkey Punch, then something more romantic and sweet like Cum s---ters or Face f---ers. Whatever tickles your pickle, y'all. Oh, and, come January, keep an eye out for Grip & Cram Johnson's Arch Enemies!!! Time to stock up on Kleenix and lotion, Ramsey!"

ProKayaker writes Dec 12: "I watched it earlier today. It's not my cup of tea, and I found Alex Devine's scene to be particularly disquieting. I don't enjoy seeing women struck in the stomach (or elsewhere for that matter) with a closed fist to be erotic."

p_ramezap writes: "But, if they take away the guys from this film and made it a g/g film with similar roughness, then it would be a good one."

Belladonna's husband Aidan writes: "But then you lose the whole meaning of "donkey punch". What would be the point of donkey punching a girl that has a strap-on inside her cunt? The giver would never feel the affects uf it, rendering it just a punch to the back of the head and nothing more."

American Hardcore posts Dec 27:

Donkey Punch is the greatest movie of our time. This feel good kind of cinema is what best serves as a reminder that pornographers are people too and also have feelings..... or feeling... or in this case help girls feel a sharp thump to the medula oblongata. It's an endearing coming of age film that will make you laugh and cry, but mostly cry.. only not you.... the girls getting cheap shots to the snot box. I would recommend this porn to anyone who wants to take an emotional rollercoaster ride with cram and grip. The Cohen Brothers, the Watchowski brothers, the Farelly Brothers and now..... Cram and Grip (who aren't even brothers) but still those guys... who should be brothers because it makes it even funnier...but i digress... When are we gonna see Beniffer in glazed jelly doughnut?

Veronica Jett posts:

it does look quite entertaining. by watching the trailer, the girls dont seem to be getting their skulls bashed in or anything. im not sure what audience this movie will appeal to, but im sure there are some sick bastards that have been waiting for a movie that is "bumfights" meets porn.

Devinn Lane posts Dec 28, 2005:

My first thought was if this was a video that was in the running for the "Worst Movie of the Year" title at XRCO. Hey, it's an award. Past winners: Vomitorium, Fossil f---ers, Watch Me Camp Bitch, You're Never Too Old To Gangbang (can't even say this w/o laughing).

Too bad it's no longer a catagory at the awards because I'd love to see these guys go up and get the award. The comedic/entertainment value of it is priceless. My second thought: I wonder what's next. I'm neither impressed or offended but intrigued by the content none the less.

David Crawford posts Dec 1, 2005: "Guys remember have fun with it. The word "HYPE" freaks me out a bit. It is just a fun f--- flick. It ain't curing cancer. But I hear donkey punch from CP is."

Anyone ever heard of Chatsworth Pictures?

Ryan Knox posts on ADT Feb 7, 2006:

I think this is a real company but they don't release titles very often. Tony Malice, the guy that runs XXXPorntalk supposedly heads the company in question. That guy really talks a lot of s--- about people in porn. What's to stop someone from walking into his office right up to his face and giving him a good bitch slap?

Why Did Extreme Alex Do Donkey Punch?

MyAdultGroups2 writes on ADT: "Alex couldn't walk away. I've been reading her blog on MySpace.com and she has roommate problems and legal problems (no driver's license, so she has transportation problems). She needed the money."

Den writes:

My immediate action after reviewing Donkey Punch:

1> Had JM remove me from their screeners list.

2> Phone call to a major distributor and they pulled it immediately.

It is going to take some drastic action like a Porn Star getting hurt on a set and/or one of the idiot guys being arrested and spending time in jail before the industry wakes up!

Good news from AVN. It is about time they take a stand on this insanity!

Ramsey responds: "Your subjective outrage surprises me since you had no problem reviewing Slap Happy where girls were being slapped around like crazy. Or how about Rough Sex? Why didn't you call Anabolic to take you from their screeners list? I mean if you're gonna take a stand at least be consistent."

Den responds:

Slap Happy and Rough Sex's DVDs got rated a 6.00 also. (My scale for XXX is 6.00 to 10.00) I did quit reviewing Anabolic/Diabolic and Red Light District. (Have just recently started reviewing RLD again). I have talked to my local distributor about various DVDs over the years. I have been consistently against rough sex and choking!

No one bothered to go to Adultcon last weekend?

Day One Pictures Day Two Pictures

Stains writes on XPT: "Who cares. Adultcon is the flea market of porn conventions. So let's get this straight, you have pics of D-list porn girls at a D-list event. But I'm sure you thought it was a successful day because Lori Lust said hi to you."

SexyCity writes: "It was very seedy. The guy who runs the event freaked out one porn girl by hitting on her so hard, she didn't come back on Sunday. I also saw that guy hit on a popular contract girl. He's slimey."

Portland's Ceara Lynch And Her Friend Cassandra Visit LA, and the JM Neighborhood

Bad_Bad writes on XPT: "I need a job where attractive women come to my office and take off their clothes and talk about what they'll do sexually."

Gia Jordan writes: "Then go into retail and sell Herve Leger suits for 1K. Swear to God that more women confessed their debauched habits and desires to me as I helped them shop in the boutiques I worked at than any gonzo BTS or Lukeisback interview ever."

Ceara Lynch writes: "Yeah, I don't blame most of you for not getting horned up over that doggie shot. That has to be the most sloppy, unflattering picture of me. But I can do better... I swear. Next time I'm in LA I'll make sure to be 20 pounds heavier and invest in a pair of birkenstocks."

Tales Of Times Square

Author Josh Alan Friedman calls me back Wednesday afternoon.

He's madly trying to finish the Al Goldstein book (I, Goldstein: My Screwed Life), which should be out from Thunder's Mouth Press by October of this year.

Josh has about ten hours of tape with Al. The former Screw publisher was hard to track down. He has an apartment now but he spends his time bothering people, trying to get money and viagra prescriptions and money for his viagra prescriptions.

He was in Los Angeles three weeks ago working on the memoirs of songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and recording an album of their songs. "I want to call it 'Songs for Negroes Only, but Jerry Leiber wants to simplify it and call it, 'Songs for Niggers.'

"They wrote some songs that were too racy for The Coasters to do. We're writing songs together. I got to Canters twice.

"I stopped by Feral House. Publisher Adam Parfrey assures me there will be a new edition of When Sex Was Dirty with all the typos corrected. He wants to take the ten chapters about New York out of Sex and put them in Tales of Times Square and release it to coincide with the movie Tales Of Times Square, if it gets a release. Then he says when can fix all the typos and I can get the right words in.

"Jeff Goodman loves When Sex Was Dirty and loves his portrayal in there even though he says I made him seem like a cartoon. I said, 'Jeff, you are a cartoon.'"

Luke: "What about the guy you wrote about sharing TV masturbation fantasies with?"

Josh: "He won't talk to me anymore. I feel terrible, but I found out that I am not the only one he won't talk to. But he's got a point. I've done a Truman Capote on people. At least I changed their names. What else do they want? I betrayed some secrets.

"I loved Allan MacDonell's book. It got better as it went along. By the end, I wished it was longer.

"Gil Reavill had a movie come out -- Dirty starring Cuba Gooding. It was reviewed in The New York Times. I think it opened and closed in a week. I talk to him once a year."

Plot: "Two gangbangers-turned-cops try and cover up a scandal within the LAPD."

"The worst that Gil said about Al Goldstein in his book I might quote that in Al Goldstein's autobiography. That's one legitimate way to view Al.

"I didn't even call Al's son Jordan. I have a long list of people to interview for the book but we don't need any of it. Al's got a big enough mouth."

Luke: "What did you think of the documentary on Al - Screwed?"

Josh: "Terrible."

Luke: "What did you think of Philip Roth's book on Al Goldstein -- The Anatomy Lesson?"

Josh: "Roth is a genius but almost every one of his books is about 200 pages too long."

Is Dani Woodward Worth $1500 An Hour?

Fast Eddie writes on FUNwithPSEs: "When Danni was unter the radar, her rate was a lot less than it is now that she's out in the open."

Willie writes: "Where does Dani Woodward get off asking $1500/hr? I'm sure she's a lot of fun but there are lots of great girls in LA (who may not be doing videos or are UTR stars) available for one-third to half that donation."

A Date With Anna Mills

She writes on FUNwithPSEs: "I personally know my limits and schedule accodringly. My favorite number is one a day, but three is a normal amount for a trip. If I have a regular that I know what he'll be like and I know he'll be happy then I might make it a higher number. I just don't over book myself. I really like to be in the right head space and perfectly presentable for my new friends."

Derek Pierce Update

He emails from Japan:

The Japanese performers shoot very different than we do out here. They are not used to hwo we shoot the photo's n video. Amount of positions etc.... They are way more reserved than their American counterparts. Then there is the language barrier. At one time things were being translated from English to Chinese to Japanese. Lots on things get lost in translation. But now we are almost done & Jim Crawford ( Vengance) has done an incredible job at putting this whole thing together. N Dave Lord is just killing the Cams. He is getting incredible footage not just during the scenes, but all around Japan (tokyo). Mike D is the phot guy on hand & is just sick with a still cam. The guy hold that cam out n its magic.

I wouldn't say "as loose as american chicks...." I have worked with American girls that have been mad tight as well.

There is a HUGE adult market down here. there are some models that book at 20K per day. They shoot as almost as much as we do in the US. I don't know the exact numbers, though.

Lezley Zen Update

I call her Wednesday afternoon.

Lezley: "I live in Florida. I'm not moving back to LA. Once you get out of that city, you should stay out. I'm 32-years old. I'm never going to get a contract. I don't have any family out there. I don't have any friends out there.

"I was a feature girl. I shot so many times for Vivid and Wicked, they won't shoot you after so many times. I'm not going to go to gonzo land. It's not my style.

"I walked in at the top of the list and I walked out at the top of the list.

"I'm getting back in the restaurant business, which I used to do."

Luke: "Do you have any regrets about your time in Adult?"

Lezley: "No. The first couple of years... I have an intense headstrong personality. A lot of company owners aren't used to that. The only regret I have is not curbing that. I probably would've got a little further with a contract, etc."

Luke: "Does porn affect your real life?"

Lezley: "I get recognized quite a bit but it's always positive. In the personality I put forth in movies, interviews and appearances, people that do recognize me treat me with respect. People don't come up and go into graphic detail. They're always polite.

"I might feature for a year. I have so many members on my website. I have so many people who want to meet me.

"I find the hardest part is dating. You have to decide whether you want to tell them the truth or wing it and write it up as something in your past. Everyone has skeletons in their closet.

"I didn't have a lot of friends in [the LA porn industry]. I had a lot of acquaintances. I miss them.

"Trevor Zen and I are roommates. We've started branching out. Who knows if we will get back together. That would definitely be easier.

"I've been on three dates in the past year. I'm not going to go into all that until I've gone on three or four dates with somebody."

Luke: "Don't most guys recognize you right off as a porn star?"

Lezley: "No, they don't. I get recognized by the tattoo on my shoulder. I get recognized in airports more than anywhere.

"I hang out in up-scale places. I don't get recognized that much. I wear normal clothes. I've never worn the porn girl attire. I've never had my boobs and ass hanging out all the time. I like keeping a sense of elegance and class about me. Just because I may be one way for a living or behind closed doors does not mean I want to be that way all the time."

Luke: "It's hard to pull that off."

Lezley: "It depends on how you carry yourself. My family was upper-class. I know people on that side of the fence. A handful know what I do, but because I always maintain my composure and dignity, they don't like at me like a porn star. The Jessica Drakes are few and far between [in porn].

"I don't have a choice. If I want my kids to respect me, then I have to behave."

Luke: "Why did you get into the Adult industry if you have kids?"

Lezley: "It wasn't about the kids. At the time, they were with their dad. I had been divorced for about two years. I had been married for seven years.

"I needed to do something different. I needed to shake things up in my life. I had just started drinking when I was 27 and dabbling and I went wild. I did a lot of wet t-shirt contests, bikini contests for fun. I ran into a couple of Adult stars.

"I called Wicked Pictures and Brad Armstrong and Jonathan Morgan. I asked a lot of questions. Then I flew out for the weekend and did Serenity's Roman Orgy and New Girls in Town.

"I wanted to pay off my debts from my divorce. I bought a new car. I bought furniture. I put my kids through private school. I got a lot accomplished. I helped my mom out.

"It wasn't the attention. I could give a ----. When I want attention, I get it.

"I enjoy being in front of the camera. I enjoy being seductive. I enjoy teasing in a dark way.

"I never did any photo work my entire career. I would love to do some magazine layouts.

"For a while, I was dating Dani [Woodward]. That turned into a disaster.

"I got my first set of boobs two years before I got in the business. It was 275 CCs. Then I got silicone implants and went up to 325 CCs. After I got in the business, I saw Garth Fisher and got 450 CCs. I've had eight boob jobs."

Luke: "Would you have done it the first time if you had realized you were going to have seven more?"

Lezley: "No. I would've saved the money and done it right the first time, even if meant flying out to Beverly Hills.

"Garth Fisher does a great job for certain types of boobs. If you already have boobs, he does a great job. If you're going in for reconstruction if he wasn't the original doctor, he doesn't do so great."

Luke: "Did any of the doctors try to sleep with you?"

Lezley: "No."

Photographer Robbye Bentley Broke Her Nose Sunday

She's in agony. She'll have surgery on her face in two weeks. Her MySpace.

Robbye calls me back Wednesday afternoon. "I was in Las Vegas last weekend and I broke my nose. Right after regatta.

"That's why I sound congested.

"I knew if I was going to wear those heels, I was going to [fall on her face], even though someone was holding on to me. Thank God for health insurance.

"I didn't do anything about it for two days. Then I was at Jessica Jaymes's house and she told me I should go to the emergency room.

"Devon and her man took care of me for a couple of days.

"I'm trying to get things done and I'm passing out in the middle of doing it.

"I'm not a pill person, especially pain pills. It hurts my stomach and makes me dizzy and nauseous. But the pain in my nose is worse than that. It's the worst pain in my life. It's the worst fear in my life.

"I'm resting now.

"It's cool if I get fat. I can go to the gym."

Holly Randall (hollyrandall at suze.net) Needs A Model For The Weekend

HollyRandall: content exchange, I can't pay the girls
HollyRandall: Joanna Angel isn't in town
Luke: you want me to put up an announcement?
HollyRandall: lol no
HollyRandall: i'd get the wrong girls after me
Luke: thank you for the respect you have for my readers
HollyRandall: sorry i didn't mean it that way!
HollyRandall: i just don't want a bunch of girls i can't shoot emailing me and then i have to tell them no, they're not our type
HollyRandall: ok better, thank you
Luke: You are welcome. Any time. Thank you for putting up with me raping you every day on my site. Treating you like a dirty content whore.
HollyRandall: it's just that i really don't care
HollyRandall: i remember when i worked at Samy's Camera, there was only one other girl under 50 there
HollyRandall: and men would come in and hit on me, and say things that i guess would be inappropriate
HollyRandall: but i'd just laugh it off, because it didn't bother me
HollyRandall: and she'd always yell at me afterwards, like "how can you let them say those things to you?"
HollyRandall: and could only reply: "because it doesn't bother me"
HollyRandall: i can't get angry over something when i'm really not
HollyRandall: i can't help it that i just don't react the way most people do
Luke: Sounds good to me. I just have to be careful I never treat anyone else like you or I lose them forever.
HollyRandall: that's probably true
Luke: I keep asking, may I blog this? 95% of the time, I am told, no.

My New MySpace Now Accepts Porn Friends

Holly Randall writes: "I love the complexity of your profile -- so rich with details. One really feels like they know you from reading this page."

Do you read any good blogs on MySpace regularly? Anyone's I should watch out for for my site?

Kendra Jade Update

Mary Carey calls me at 9:41 a.m Wednesday. "I'll probably be depressed. You should come to my set."

Luke: "Why will you be depressed?"

Mary: "Porn sets do that to me."

I call Rob Spallone. "No scoop today," he tells me. "It's my birthday."

Leah comes on the line: "Luke, I'm very upset at you. Those pictures of me on the internet look so awful. You could've at least waited until I was fixed up."

Luke: "Rob, what are you doing for your birthday?"

Rob: "I've got to see my accountant to do my taxes. I've got to see a friend of mine."

Luke: "That sounds exciting."

12:41 p.m. Mary Carey calls. "You misquoted me and now Kendra's mad at me. Mancow said don't bring Kendra on that day, but on a later day. I love Kendra. They want her on the seventh. Now she's saying that I'm not a real friend. I consider her to be one of my few real friends. I'm scared of a mad Kendra."

Mary, any problem that Kendra has with you has nothing to do with Mancow.

Mary: "On set we have Renee, Scott St. James Preston's wife, Patty is doing make-up, Harold's here, Holly Morgan, and Crissy Moran."

Crissy comes on the line. She says she reads me regularly and she's not going to say anything scandalous.

In porn for six years, she concentrated on her website crissymoran.com.

Crissy says her favorite parts of the industry are getting made-up to look pretty.

Mary talks about Tawny Roberts. "We need to reach out to her because she's missing," says Mary. "Come back to America."

Crissy: "I'll let you say it. I don't want to be misquoted. I met Tawny a long time ago. She's very beautiful.

"My boyfriend is not in the industry. He won't do a scene with me, even if his face doesn't show. He's not crazy about me being in the industry. He does some photography for my website. He's more comfortable with it than when we first met a year ago when he thought I was some wild freak.

"I can be a wild freak but I only do that a couple of times a year.

"Before I got in Adult, I thought I was going to be president and all this crazy stuff I knew nothing about.

"I wanted to be a lawyer but then I found the internet and it was all over from there. I put my picture on it. I started getting hired for jobs. I quit my [civilian] job. I moved from Florida to California. Now I'm my own boss. I get steady income from my website. I don't have to get up early in the morning and drive through heavy traffic to work for somebody else and told that I need to get off the internet."

Luke: "How did your family react?"

Crissy: "My mom didn't think it would last long. She told me that I needed to stay with my regular job. You have to think about retirement. She never thought I'd make any money. She's happy that I'm successful.

"I went to a small highschool (graduating class was about 40 people). I joined classmates.com. I posted a picture. Everybody is emailing me like I'm a celebrity.

"I was a shy girl."

Luke: "What are your ambitions?"

Crissy: "I like photography."

Luke: "You want to get married and have kids?"

Crissy: "Yes. Since I was a little girl, I've wanted to be a mom.

"You don't have the most exciting stuff to write.

"My fans know I'm just a normal girl. I'm not going to lie and try to make up exciting stuff."

Luke: Mary Carey said you sent her an upset email
KendraJade: I sent her an email because she doesn't know how to be someones friend.
KendraJade: She wants to be friends with fake people who use her and take her money and treat her like s---.
Luke: how are your emotions these days?
KendraJade: I'm good. I have therapy tomorrow actually.
KendraJade: Damn it. I just realized all of the above writing was a poor example of my newfound love for proper grammar , and even articulation. Please disregard.
KendraJade: How are you feeling lately?
Luke: solid
KendraJade: Interesting use of the word solid.
KendraJade: I've been reading the dictionary and educating myself with new words every day ! It's fun.
Luke: Are you really writing this?
KendraJade: Yes!!! LOL
KendraJade: (Must I describe your hovel in depth again ?!)
KendraJade: My new favorite word : Lechery
KendraJade: Do you know the meaning without looking it up?
KendraJade: Inordinate indulgence in sex !
KendraJade: Another one I particularly like today : Euphonious
Luke: That sounds good.
KendraJade: It means pleasing to the ear.
KendraJade: Like music.
KendraJade: Or the words " I love you "
KendraJade: Learn a new word every day and use it in a sentence at least once that day. You'll completely expand your vocabulary. It's great fun !
KendraJade: And also, then people won't think you're a moron.
KendraJade: Now , I'm going to digress back to the "Mary" issue.
KendraJade: I'd like to address it properly, instead of like the backwoods-hick approach I took before...
KendraJade: I simply wrote to her in a slightly aggressive manner
KendraJade: that I could no longer endure the challenges of being her friend.
KendraJade: I felt disrespected on several occasions by her actions.
KendraJade: And I simply reminded her that I may be the only person she has met in her current occupation
KendraJade: that is not looking to her for money , lying to her , using her , or trying to control her.
KendraJade: I'm definitely a rare find for her , and just felt it necessary to remind her.
KendraJade: So, today I was reading your site (which I almost never do) Luke: aww
Luke: I understand
KendraJade: Don't take it personal , it's just that I almost never know who you're referring to.
KendraJade: Everyones changed since my days...
Luke: I understand
Luke: I should ID people more.
KendraJade: Anyway , my point is that I had to laugh when I read all the drama with these girls fighting.
KendraJade: (Yes , you should)
KendraJade: Because that used to be me , sounding all trailer-trash , wanting to fight everyone.
KendraJade: It brought back some memories !
KendraJade: And I realized , the more things change..the more they stay the same !
KendraJade: Just new names , new faces ...
KendraJade: To be honest , that stuff just bores me now.
KendraJade: I mean , talk about self-absorbed !
KendraJade: So then , I read in the archives all the stuff about me ( speaking of self-absorbed LOL)
KendraJade: And , man ! What a freakin' mess I was! HUMILIATING!
KendraJade: Not that I'm not still a mess, but JEEZ!
KendraJade: Like those horrid girls arguing on your site now - just so trivial and juvenile.
KendraJade: Tell them to get over themselves , and their petty little arguments. Maybe they should try reading books , finding God , getting therapy , growing up, learning about politics, orat the very least learning when saying nothing is the smartest thing to do.
KendraJade: In a year from now, no one will care who stole who's boyfriend , who said who was doing drugs , etc.
Luke: You should become a counselor.
KendraJade: Much less remember their names..
KendraJade: Actually , I do believe that the things I have endured and learned , indeed are for a purpose.
KendraJade: And I believe in my heart that when I'm done healing , my journey will serve to help others.
KendraJade: The more I talk about my experiences , the more young girls can benefit from it.
KendraJade: That is, if they choose to.
KendraJade: Life is too short for all the negative things that people put out to the world. Luke: That is what I always say.
KendraJade: Yeah right , you'd serve God and YOURSELF better by focusing on writing things that spread positivity .
KendraJade: You embrace porn and reject it.
Luke: it is my job to tell the truth, not to spread positivity. I don't embrace porn any more than terrorism.
KendraJade: You're a complete contradiction
KendraJade: The truth, yes, BUT I think you're a capable writer and you have a following. That being said, It is my opinion that you really have the ability to help people.
KendraJade: Instead of indulging them in their arrogance , greed , and hatred.
Luke: It is only when people see their words published that they realize what they said.
KendraJade: I love you dearly , but you're the equivalent of a tabloid writer when you could be a great novelist or something .
KendraJade: I think that my position has helped me gain a forum with which I can do good for others...
KendraJade: If I can use my experience to help just one person , then my life has had purpose..
KendraJade: Of course , tomorrow I could fall back into my depression and not believe a word I'm saying ;)
KendraJade: I just think you can be very compassionate and empathetic and you should use those things about yourself in your writing.
Luke: I do, but that only occurs in about 2% of my work
Luke: most of the time, i have to do a job and don't have the time etc to hone those things.
KendraJade: You really should correct the spelling and punctuation above or I can't take you seriously.
Luke: this feels like the old days
KendraJade: Look at me , just like a woman , really holding on to that one thing you said that hurt my feelings and using it against you for weeks ! Then , making sarcastic humor of it , just to be able to say it again !
KendraJade: Yeah , it does !
KendraJade: Now, as for your last comment, yes! 2% is HARDLY what you're capable of.
Luke: I'm glad I said it because you are working harder on this now and it makes you look smarter and develop better habits.
KendraJade: YOU should be a counselor !
KendraJade: See, you helped me.
KendraJade: So , what's up with you and Holly ?
Luke: nothing
KendraJade: I see you're talking more frequently. That's good.
KendraJade: And what of your dates?
KendraJade: Well , are you looking at them as individuals or comparisons?
KendraJade: Perhaps you're just dating the wrong girls .
KendraJade: Where are you meeting them ?
KendraJade: Why not meet girls in places that you share similar interests
KendraJade: My dating life is complete crap.
Luke:.....
KendraJade: Who's paying ? ;-)
Luke: A reader gave me a tab to this restaurant $500
Luke: it's my find love tab
KendraJade: Maybe you should start taking me on your dates and I can help you decipher that bad and good.
KendraJade: 500 bucks could get you a hooker from bodymiracle or something.
Luke: yuck
KendraJade: No strings attached !
Luke: I've never paid for a hooker
KendraJade: But since you're so emotionally detached , may not be a bad idea.
Luke: disgusting
KendraJade: Hahahahahahhahaha
KendraJade: I'm just teasing you.
Luke: I can't have sex without love.
KendraJade: But I think nomatter which girl you date , you're never gona be satisfied. KendraJade: Ill tell you why , too.
Luke: please do
KendraJade: Because you thrive on being intellectually , spiritually , and mentally superior to every woman you date. And if you aren't , you will be intimidated and rid yourself of them.
KendraJade: And if you are , you will consider them beneath you in some way
KendraJade: Or think them boring , or unintelligent.
Luke: I seek a lot of smarts in a woman
KendraJade: But then you resent them for daring to challenge your intellect KendraJade: You really met your match in Holly , and somehow managed to end things over a dinner gone wrong ?!
KendraJade: Doesn't make sense.
KendraJade: I think you were subconsciously trying to push her away. You were testing her.
Luke: I did a stupid thing, made a stupid remark. I was wrong.
KendraJade: But the thing is this : a dinner gone bad , or a comment about a dinner gone bad could not end LOVE. It was obviously something much deeper. You're just looking at the surface..not geting to the depth.
KendraJade: That surely was not the action that ended it.
Luke: Of course.
Luke: there's nothing to do but go elsewhere.
KendraJade: Or figure out why you would be so mean and or harsh to someone you love, and then try to correct it. Not the action , but the reason for the action.
Luke: I was harsh/mean in an offhand comment on my blog, that is not the underlying issue. After five months, not working, must move on.
KendraJade: Yes , you must. But not to everybody that is single and crosses your path.
KendraJade: Don't become a serial dater.
