After the execution of a federal search warrant on her home, Michelle
Braun (born July 23, 1977) was arrested at her home by Palm Beach Sheriff's
Deputies at 7:23 p.m. (EST) Oct. 16 (along with her husband Farrell S.
Kellener, born June 3, 1977) for cocaine and paraphernalia possession.
Braun and Kellener made the $3,000 bail. He was released at 5 a.m. Oct.
17 and she was released at 6:36 a.m. (EST).
Here's
Michelle's mug shot. She appears to have been crying. Her make-up
is badly smudged.
By contrast, here's a shot
Michelle uses on one
of her myspace pages (set to private).
On Oct. 24, Michelle aka Nici sent in this statement:
What I find the most perplexing in this situation is that I am being
persecuted by my peers before anything has even been proven. So much
for the American mantra "Innocent until proven guilty." The FBI is obviously
investigating me because of the nature of my business. However everyone
would be incredibly foolish to assume that I am the only one being targeted.
Every escort and adult agency including Body Miracle, especially considering
the owner's (Robert Holliday) recent conviction and imprisonment by
the FBI for income tax evasion, The Girl of Your Dreams, Lexxi Tyler,
Pamela Peaks who blatantly advertises sexual services for sale on her
website, Demi Delia, LA Direct Models, etc. are very highly likely the
subject of an FBI and IRS investigation. And anyone who does business
with them is very highly likely a part of that investigation. These
are the risks everyone takes when playing with fire. To say that I have
known I was being investigated for at least 5 years is not accurate
however I have suspected it from day one and anyone who puts themselves
out there publicly in any highly scrutinized business should suspect
the same thing. I have not been indicted by the FBI. They issued a search
warrant which resulted in them confiscating computers and other recording
devices. This however does not mean that they are going to find the
"smoking gun" they are looking for. And I am confident that they won't
find it, although this is the US government we're talking about here.
If they can invent weapons of mass destructions then God only knows
what else they are capable of. Regardless I have not broken any laws.
Bella Models (and Nici's Girls before that) has never offered sexual
services for sale, promised that sexual services would be rendered or
asked anyone to break the law on it's behalf. Never. Escort services
(although I despise that term and have always maintained that I make
introductions) are perfectly legal! As for the income tax evasion theory,
my taxes have been filed and paid diligently every year and were never
filtered to an offshore corporation which is what Robert Holliday was
found guilty of. The government's next course of action is to issue
subpoenas for clients and employees to testify before a grand jury as
to whether any laws have been broken by me. This is a frightening thought
not because I have broken any laws but because most people in this world
will always tell you what you want to hear even if it's not the truth
if they think it will save themselves or if they simply have an axe
to grind. Our justice system is incredibly flawed. Yes it is true that
I was arrested by the local authorities for possession but that was
only a side effect of the search as they found a very small amount of
cocaine in a pocket of a pair of women's jeans that were on the floor
in one of the bedrooms. I won't say if the jeans were mine or not because
even if they were not I am not a rat. The paraphernalia they list is
a small pipe that a girlfriend of mine who is a model brought back from
the 420 convention that she worked at in Las Vegas recently. Unfortunately
for my husband and I though this was enough for us to be removed from
the house so that it could be searched without us there. No matter what
the outcome of this investigation is I am calling it quits. After a
decade I have had enough. Clearly. Before this happened I had already
planned to sell out of this business by the end of this year as I started
a new unrelated business (reported by lukeisback.com) which is already
proving that it will be a great success. So now I am in the process
of selling the Bella Models website and domain as well as the Nici's
Girls domain and all of the contacts and telephone numbers associated
with both of them. I am already in negotiations with a few buyers but
if anyone else wants to inquire they may do so to forlukeseyesonly@yahoo.com.
There are many of you that I will miss but it's time for my next chapter.

Here's how the federal prosecution of Michelle Braun works: The feds
went to a judge and showed enough cause for him to issue a search warrant.
The feds and sheriff's deputies raided her home. They found drugs. The
deputies arrested her and charged her with drug possession.
The feds probably confiscated her computers and a bunch of other things
and will pour over it to develop charges against her of prostitution and
tax evasion, etc.
The minute Braun is charged with federal crimes, the FBI will issue a
big press release.
Then Michelle will either cop a plea or go to trial and then she'll most
likely go to prison for a few years.
Michelle's enemies in the prostitution industry have assisted the feds
for years to bring her down.
Braun has known for at least five years that she's being surveilled.
She probably hopes that she can plea bargain out by selling out her clients
and employees.

writes on TER:
Ms. Braun and her husband Farrell Kellener were arrested by local Boca
Raton authorities who were assisting FBI agents with the execution of
a FEDERAL search warrant. During the search both cocaine and paraphenalia
were found and the two were charged with and booked for possession.
The arrest records are public and can be viewed at www.pbso.org by selecting
the blotter from the quick links menu and searching their names.
She claims in another related post here that she does not own Bellamodels.
Doing a search at alexa.com for both bellamodels and nicisgirls domains
will show that they are both held by the same party at Katz Global Media.
Additionaly there is no Nici. It is a fictious name adopted by Ms. Braun
to deceive the public.
If anyone wishes to verify that the "usable" amount of cocaine
was merely a side effect of being searched by the FBI they can contact
the Los Angeles field office of the FBI and ask for the media relations
department. They will not disclose anything other than the execution
of the search warrant resulting in her arrest on the state posession
charges due an ongoing investigation.
BellaModels
aka Michelle tries to spin here:
BellaModels is ...a spin off of Nici's Girls which she did own but
she only worked with us as a consultant for the time that it took to
transition the models and clients. That position has now expired. Besides
that this bust was for a "usable" amount of cocaine and marijuana
(a la Lindsay Lohan) which is a personal matter and had nothing to do
with business? If you have any questions please email us. We do know
many of you still contact Nici directly (and since she can obviously
book many of the same girls this may be where the confusion lies) but
if you want to contact Bella Models please do so at (888) 299-7681.
For more than a decade, Michelle's been LA's biggest madam and the bigggest
procurer of porn girls, Playmates and Pets for the prostitution industry.
Expect this bust to go the same route as the Exotica-2000.com
bust. The main focus will be on tax evasion and prostitution. Girls
who've earned a lot of money without paying taxes will be leaned on to
cooperate and to testify.
For more information on this drug bust, go to pbso.org, "Quick Links"
and then "Police Blotter" and put in her real name.
Michelle will make Heidi Fleiss "look like a piker," says an
FBI informant.
A lot of writers have tried to get Michelle to tell her story, including
author and whoremonger William Stadiem.
Michelle shot a reality
show pilot a couple of years ago about her life as a madam. The show
didn't sell. The producer, Jason
Hervey, found Braun difficult to deal with.
Now she's come back with a new reality show (unshot) -- The
Girls of Ocean Drive. She's using the name "Michelle Kellener."
Braun has two kids and a lot of plastic surgery.
Picture
of Michelle with girls Michelle,
hubby, girl Michelle
Over the past few years, she's moved a lot.
In my capacity as a reporter, I've gotten to know a few madams over the
years. (I've never hired a hooker nor has anyone sent me one.)
It's a high-stress occupation. There were a few death threats sent around.
One madam would send another a picture of her home and say, 'You weren't
home. They'll stop by later.'"
I remember one madam getting suicidal.
Michelle was about the most combative. She was always feuding.
I found her fun to talk to.
Her husband Farrell Kellener sent text messages to friends during the
raid. He was frightened.
Michelle's girls were calling around Tuesday night until the news was
confirmed on PBSO.org.
I guess much of Michelle's business will now go to her competitor Nicole
at TheGirlOfYourDreams.com.
If there's a legit escort agency -- where it is registered, the owner
pays her taxes, no sex is booked by the agency (whatever the escort agrees
to do privately with the client is their private business) -- then this
is it (as far as I know).
Here's
more on Michelle and her husband Farrell Kellener. Paulspoop.blogspots.com
reports:
After Farrell
appeared on VH1's World Series of Pop Culture, this post starting
gettting a lot more attention. Some of that attention came from an anonymous
poster who implied she was Farrell's wife. She asked that I remove a
photo containing the faces of her two minor children. Even though I
don't think I was legally obliged to do so, I complied with her wishes.
...At some point in 2002 or 2003 Farrell went to work as a
radio DJ at KSPN in Aspen, Colorado. He also had an interesting side
job. He was fired (or would have been) from the station in early 2004
because of his night job as a male stripper/escort.
Here's some of the
article from the Aspen Daily News:
"An Aspen drive-time deejay says he was stripped of his job
after his bosses in Denver grew shy over his other calling: adult entertainer.
"I wasn't fired. I walked away under the grounds that I would've
been terminated anyway," exiled deejay Farrell Kaye said from his
home in Florida, where he returned after leaving KSPN radio a few weeks
ago. "Someone powerful in that town dug up a lot about my past,
went to the corporate office in Denver and threatened to scare away
advertisers."
KSPN General Manager Colleen Barill described Kaye's exit as "a
mutual parting of ways" and NRC Broadcasting Inc. CEO Tim Brown
acknowledged that the disc jockey's departure was shrouded in controversy.
He declined to offer specifics.
"We really are not prepared to discuss our personnel issues outside
of the company and quite honestly by law we're only able to verify compensation
and employment," Brown said Tuesday. "We need to be sensitive
to privacy issues."
But "privacy" is a seemingly incongruous term when discussing
Kaye - a 27-year-old male stripper whose services are widely touted
on various pornographic Web sites that offer erotic massages, role-playing,
and more.
The spouse of a woman with whom he had relations complained to NRC Broadcasting
about his risqué activities.
"I like to go out seven nights a week and some people didn't appreciate
the good times I was having. I don't kiss and tell but a lot of people
I kissed told for me. I ran around Aspen with a lot of different women
and obviously I ran around with the wrong woman," he said. "In
a small town like Aspen, things travel fast and sometimes what I did
and who I did got around."
Kaye added: "When you piss off someone powerful, they're going
to go after you."
A source inside NRC confirmed that a letter written to the broadcasting
company warned that a complaint would be filed with the Federal Communications
Commission if Kaye stayed on Aspen's airwaves. The source said an Internet
escort service featuring Kaye included a link to KSPN.
Kaye said he was not aware of a KSPN link on any of the Web sites where
his services are offered but he said his name and photographs have occasionally
appeared on the Internet and in other media without his knowledge or
permission."
Farrell definitely fucked the wrong guy's wife and as he says in another
article:
"There are a lot of jealous husbands out there."
An internet search for Michelle Braun reveals that Michelle Braun is
a well-known Hollywood madam. She runs an escort service called Nici's
girls.

Other articles say similar things about Michelle Braun including that
she is now a millionairess. She had porn stars, models and actresses
working for her for 40 grand or so per weekend.
I'm not positive that Farrell's wife is the same Michelle Braun, but
his MySpace
profile convinces me. This
picture is called "my girl and her girls."
This
latest photo is Farrell and his wife on Halloween. He dressed as
himself, she was a naughty something or other.
It's not clear what Farrell is up to now other than presumably fucking
his hot rich wife. His MySpace page lists him as a novelist and earlier
this year he released another book, "Helltown:
The Adventures of the Midnight Man."
La Signora posts:
If you didn't happen to catch his screen debut (er, or should I say
"non-X-rated" screen debut), Farrell & his two childhood
buddies were on VH-1's "World Series of Pop Culture" show
tonight, 7/11/07. Fortunately for viewers, he struck out within 5 minutes
of his appearance, as did the rest of the team eventually. Aww, he looked
like a sad little puppy.
What WAS wildly entertaining, however, was the interview they did with
VH-1. The interviewer asked Farrell what his occupation was! Ha, there
shoulda been music to go with THAT song & dance! First he gave some
rambling spiel about vampires and ninjas and the Roman Empire, an attempt
at humor but instead a painfully obvious effort at diverting attention
from his LACK of a real job. Then he briefly acknowledged his short-lived
career as a radio announcer, conveniently omitting the part about being
fired for being a stripper and male escort ;). He then went on to state
that he was hired by his wife (whom Paul here has so aptly identified
as "Nici," the Heidi Fleiss wanna be) to run her, ahem, "modeling
agency." Yeah, right. Would that be because of all his years of
experience with, er, "models"???
Farrell rubs elbows with quite a few celebrities because they're the
clients hiring his wife's girls. (Wonder if they have hourly rates??)
Seeing him next to O.J. Simpson recently was a chilling reminder to
me of just how different, and yet similar, two people can be -- apparently
scammers come in all colors, shapes and sizes.
Michelle Braun (I believe) posts:
I would appreciate it i you would respect this request to kindly remove
the picture you have posted of my minor children. I am not a person
that enjoys having to resort to the ugliness of lawyers. I still hold
faith in human compassion especially when it comes to a mother protecting
her own. I find it so saddening that we live in a time where people
are so quick to judge, criticize and gossip about others when they have
never walked in their shoes. Look within. I would prefer you don't post
this I only sent it here because I can't seem to figure out how to email
you.
I guess much of Michelle's business will now go to her competitor Nicole
at TheGirlOfYourDreams.com.

All this talk about the LCN is funny. I just thought I would

This was no sophisticated crime group. This was a Jewish girl from Bakersfield
California.
Yes while guys in Brooklyn struggle to make rent, Michelle
Braun aka Nici of Nici'sgirls.com and Bella of Bellasmodels.com lived
a life like princesses.
She had the best homes and the best cars. She traveled the world. She
even upgraded her husband. From a one time music executive to a fallen
Baseball/Radio DJ, then male Escort. She spent thousands on plastic surgery
enhance her body.
She has been sending high end call girls to NYC for over 10 years.
They would make over 20k a night. She picked up the pieces when Exotica2000.com
went down. She started send multiple girls to NYC on so called "Tours"..
She let the cocaine got to her head and she thought she would never
go down...
She is busted. Lets see how this story plays out. Many people in Hollywood
should be scared. She was the new Hollywood Madam..
Anna David writes
in Details magazine August 2004:
If anyone has taken Fleiss' place, it's Nici -- otherwise known
as Michelle Braun, a 27-year-old mother of two who until recently lived
in Bakersfield, 100 miles outside of L.A. Braun claims that she left the
company over a year ago and that it was never an escort or prostitution
business but a special-appearance booking company that hired out girls
for everything from casual meetings to casino openings. "My service
was for people to meet famous people," Braun tells me over the phone.
"Not like Julia Roberts, more like B-actress famous." She also
made it clear that she wanted me to stop working on this article, adding
that she thought I'd be the perfect writer for a book about her life because
her story was "much bigger" than a magazine piece, and convincingly
tossing out the names of an agent and a publishing company. "It so
happens that in the past six weeks we've been more aggressively pursuing
a book deal," she says. Braun is also smart enough to have hired
a top lawyer, Donald Etra, a Yalie and a Skull and Bones brother of President
Bush. Retaining legal counsel would appear to be prudent, as anyone intent
on filling Fleiss' shoes is running a risk: Two different sources, one
of whom is an FBI informant, said that the agency is investigating Braun.
(FBI spokesperson Vicki Hampton-Franklin said that she couldn't confirm
or deny such an investigation.) When I started researching this story,
www.nicisgirls.com was a fully functional Web site that required a membership
number to delve any further than the home page. Several days after Braun
and I spoke, the site had been replaced with a note saying that the domain
name was for sale.
From the Sunday Mirror, Anne Witheridge writes:
A HOLLYWOOD madam who operates via the internet is planning to name
dozens of famous customers.
Farmer's daughter Michelle Braun, 24, is touting the client list of
her dating agency, Nici's Girls, to film companies and book publishers.
An insider said: "She has the dirt on actors, film directors,
pop stars, record producers, sports stars and rich kid heirs.
"She makes Hollywood's reigning madam Heidi Fleiss look like a
small- time brothel keeper."
Michelle charged customers to join her agency then porn stars and models
were offered at up to 30,000 pounds a weekend.
Ironically, her business was exposed by Playboy boss Hugh Hefner when
he realised some of the girls who worked for him were also on her list.
He told the police who are expected to question Michelle soon.
I spoke to Michelle soon after this article appeared. She said it was
false.
Nici's
Girls Investigation
11/15/04
TODAY
the News of the World smashes a major international vice ring involving
a string of top models and celebrity tarts.
The racket's star-studded catalogue of girls for rent includes a BBC
presenter, a British supermodel, a Hollywood actress and an international
catwalk queen.
The global operation—called Nici's Girls and run by Los Angeles madam
Michelle Braun —is now being investigated by the FBI after a daring
undercover probe led by our famous Fake Sheik.
Last night the American law agents were studying a damning series of
e-mails and conversations, secretly taped by our team, as they were
offered a stream of high-profile girls willing to have sex from £10,000
a time.
A spokesman for the FBI's Organised Crime and Racketeering Department
said: "The evidence suggests this is a huge multi-million dollar operation.
Our investigation is ongoing and we're grateful for all the material
that you have provided."
It's another major coup for our scandal-busting Fake Sheik.
His record of scoops includes the Toongate affair as Newcastle United
bosses Doug Hall and Freddie Shepherd romped with prostitutes, champion
jockey Kieren Fallon promising his horse will lose, and Sophie Wessex's
PR partner blatantly trading off her royal name.
Millionairess Braun's agency has a client list which reads like a Who's
Who of politicians, high-flying businessmen and showbiz stars. They
include a well-known film producer with 70 movies to his name.
The fallout of our exposé will rival the scandal of Heidi Fleiss, the
Hollywood madam jailed for running an A-list call-girl racket.
Braun's organisation has worked in partnership with a London vice queen
as well as agents across Europe.
VIP punters are recruited by word of mouth, and only those considered
wealthy enough are given access to Braun's secret website which details
top models, actresses and Playboy pin-ups up for hire.
Customers pay up to £40,000 for a night of passion with Nici's Girls,
as well as providing first-class air tickets and five-star hotel accommodation.
It took our team, posing as Arab businessmen, several months to infiltrate
the ring.
We only gained Braun's trust after one of her regulars, a wealthy Middle
Eastern client, vouched for us. One of the lighter moments on our tapes
being studied by the FBI is when our man, the sheik's aide, is booking
a very famous cover girl but warns that his boss doesn't speak good
English so doesn't want lots of chat...
INVESTIGATOR: "She would be understanding of that, wouldn't she?"
MADAM: "Yeah, I mean XXXXX is more like a sexpot, you know? Very girlie
and kinda cutesy, but she's not brilliant, she's not going to talk too
much. She doesn't really have too much to say (laughter).
"She kinda survives on the fact that she's very sexy and knows how
to use her body, you know?"
Braun's London counterpart, who uses the name Chrissie and operates
from Hampstead, is the madam who recruited former Gossard bra girl Sophie
Anderton (opposite) as a hooker.
Chrissie bragged to an undercover reporter: "You'd be surprised at
some of the personalities that have worked as escorts for us. Lots of
them are household names, others have rich and well-known partners.
At the moment we have several top models and celebrities.
"I can book you a stunning girl who appears on BBC TV as a presenter
but it's not cheap.
"She'll see you abroad and you have to pay for her time as well as
flights and a separate hotel room. She'll obviously slip into your room
for the night but must be booked in under her own name for safety. It'll
cost you £10,000.
"We don't advertise our services, it really is a word of mouth thing.
None of our girls can risk their careers so we have to vet our clients
and all new business is by referral to us."
For legal reasons we can't name the girls for hire but...
THE BBC GIRL is a tall, sexy blonde in her early thirties. She is single,
stylish and has an army of male admirers.
THE HOLLYWOOD ACTRESS is a rising star in her late twenties. She is
brunette, single, and directors love her for her natural beauty and
understated style.
THE CATWALK QUEEN is a blonde party lover in her mid-twenties. Never
seen in the same outfit twice.
THE BRIT SUPERMODEL is also single and is known for for her sultry
good looks.
Madam Chrissie added: "Lots of girls on the catwalks and international
modelling circuit can be yours for a price. Most like to travel to the
Caribbean, Dubai, Mauritius or some other exotic location.
"It's much safer for them and they can claim they're there for a modelling
shoot."
Chrissie then told us she had recently severed links with Hollywood
madam Braun after fearing she was under investigation.
"We had a website together but we've had to close it down," she added.
"If anything went wrong it'd be another Heidi Fleiss case but a hundred
times worse.
"The papers would go mad if the names in our little black book came
out—I mean the girls who do the odd whoring job on the side AND the
clients."
Earlier this year supermodel Sophie Anderton confessed how she got
caught up in Chrissie's vice web. And how a date with an Italian businessman,
fixed by Chrissie, turned into prostitution when she was paid around
£5,000 for a night with him.
"It was in January," she said. "I was hanging out with girls I would
certainly not be hanging out with now.
"A couple of them were models. I assumed the rest of them were too.
I found out later that a lot of them weren't—and that they were escort
girls instead.
"One evening, one of the girls told me she'd passed my mobile phone
number to this woman. I was told she had lots of contacts in the fashion
industry.
"I now realise she was a vice-girls' madam. At the time I was drinking
a lot and taking cocaine. If I hadn't been on drugs I'd have thought
there was something very strange about the whole thing.
"But back then I felt awful about myself. I had no money and my modelling
career was dead. I thought these people were my friends."
Sophie, 27, said the date in Florence began with a meal and some drinks.
She had split with her lover, former Chelsea goalie Mark Bosnich, and
felt special with all the attention being paid to her.
Sophie was plied with drugs before they headed back to the hotel.
"When we finally got back to the hotel room, the man gave me more cocaine,"
said Sophie.
"We kissed and spent the night together. When I woke up he had gone.
I found a Christian Dior handbag on the bed."
Inside was an envelope stuffed with cash and a note saying her date
had "a lovely time".
Sophie said: "I was horrified. I realised I'd literally been paid for
sex. That made me a prostitute. I felt dirty and abused."
It was a few days later she discovered vice boss Chrissie had been
actively hawking Sophie's body around to punters.
And when the madam contacted her again and asked if she would visit
some Arab clients Sophie wisely refused.
Who are the celebrities above?

In the September Details magazine with Adrian Brody on the cover, is
a three-page story called "The New Hollywood Hookers," with a big scoop
on Nici of Nicisgirls.com. She's now plying her trade out of Florida.
Her site nicisgirls.com went down for a week or so. She put it up for
sale. Now she's back working again, calling girls, booking girls.

Steve Hirsch is close with Nici of Nicisgirls.com. Steve hangs out with
Nici. They go to parties together. Nici has private parties that Steve
attends. Nici pimps out almost all of Vivid's girls. Just look at the
Nicisgirls.com website. Nici has got to be working with law enforcement
or she would be busted right now. Top porn girls earn $10-20,000 for a
night's gig with Nici.
The Prodigy and the Playmate
5/27/01
Any illusions that the typical Playboy Playmate is not a whore should
be dispelled by the June 2001 issue of Philadelphia magazine. It appears
that most of them are available for prostitution through such internet
sites as Nicisgirls.com.
Benjamin Wallace writes about the adventures of stock market whiz kid
Mark Yagalla. It's a far bigger and grander tale than Wayne Wang's new
movie Center of the World which is based on a similar premise.
Yagalla spent millions of dollars on whores including such Playboy Playmates
as Tishara Lee Cousino (Playboy's Miss May 1999) and Sandy Bentley, the
girlfriend of Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner.
Yagalla graduated from high school with $125,000 in the bank. He day
traded his net worth well above one million dollars and started taking
on investors.
Never comfortable with women, Mark began purchasing prostitutes in high
school (his first at a nursery convention in Chicago). He compulsively
procured high priced escorts, bringing them with him on yachts and expensive
vacations. Bored renting hookers, Yagalla made the rounds of New York
strip clubs with $10,000 in his pocket. He burned through the strippers
and turned to the internet in 1999 where he found NicisGirls.com. Nici
pioneered internet escorting.
For $5000, folks like Yagalla could join Nici's "Millionaire's Club,"
a harem of porn stars, Playboy Playmates and Penthouse Pets.
Nici first set him up with a pin-up girl who came to his home and flew
with him to Puerto Rico. The four day adventure cost him $28,000 plus
airfare.
After that positive experience, Yagalla ordered two new Nici girls a
week to his home in Wilmington, paying out $10,000 to $20,000 for their
services. Soon Mark began flying regularly to Los Angeles to experience
such as Nici specials as porn star Jenna Jameson (for reportedly $25,000
for two days).
Jenna Jameson told Luke that she does not escort.
Yagalla would page through issues of Playboy magazine and order the girls
through Nici who had access to almost all Playmates.
Nici set Yagalla up with two Playmates of the Year as well as Tishara,
who cost Mark $40,000 for the introductory weekend.
Mark bonded with Nici, the new Heidi Fleiss. They were both young, had
grown up ordinary and then discovered certain lucrative skills. Both in
their early 20s, they enjoyed talking about Nici's clients and how screwed
up Nici's girls were.
Wallace writes: "On a Thursday afternoon that summer [1999], a chestnut-haired,
gypsy-eyed, silicone-bosomed young woman named Tishara Lee Cousino...reclined
on a gently rocking bed and looked expectantly at Mark Yagalla, whom she'd
just met. They were in the Florida Keys, aboard a 125-foot yacht Yagalla
had leased for the weekend. "Do you want to do anything with me?"
she asked."
Yagalla felt put off by Cousino's bluntness. He wanted a more romantic
liason. He said he only wanted her when she wanted him. He wanted her
to join his program - where Mark would set her up with a car, a place
to live, a credit card and an allowance in exchange for being at his beck-and-call.
Yagalla bought Tishara a black Mercedes SL 500 and a house for $450,000.
In August 1999, Tishara called him on a threeway phone call with fellow
Playboy model Sandy Bentley. Sandy was half of the platinum-blond Bentley
twins, who were regular girlfriends of Hefner.
On their way to a Cher concert at the MGM, the three stopped at Crazy
Horse Too where Sandy used to strip. Sandy said she wished Mark would
be her boyfriend too. "We'll be a happy family," Tishara said.
At the strip club, Yagalla balanced on Tishara on one knee and Sandy
on the other. When the club's stripper wondered what his secret was, he
replied, "I'm f---ing loaded."
The next morning Mark bought Sandy a Mercedes SL 500 for $97,000 and
took them to lunch at the Venetian. He told the girls he'd give them each
monthly allowances of $20,000 to $25,000 each. Tishara suggested they
all get HIV tests.
Mark promised Sandy a house and she found a 6,700 square foot two-story
Italian villa that cost $1.7 million.
Unlike Tishara, Sandy did not push to have the house put in her name.
She even said was wanted to visit him in Delaware. Just one problem -
she didn't want to fly commercial.
When Dempsey arrived in Philadelphia the next weekend, Yagalla picked
her up in his red Ferrari. They went back to his home in Delaware and
watched Pretty Woman on DVD.
Sandy told Mark that possessions meant nothing to her. Over the next
few months, Yagalla gave her a red Ferrari FI355 Spyder, a Range Rover,
a black Cadillac Escalade SUV, a pair of fur coats from Bloomingdale's,
two Rolexes, a platinum-and-diamond bracelet from Fred Leighton in Vegas
and $190,000 worth of jewelry from Venetzia in Vegas. Each time Mark gave
her a new gift, Sandy would light up and and clap her hands with joy.
They made an odd couple. Mark stood 5'3 and flabby. He didn't smoke or
drink or do drugs or even dance. Sandy was almost 5'9", with hair
extensions and breast implants paid for by her pre-Hefner boyfriend, slain
Vegas mabster Herbert "Fat Herbie" Blitzstein.
One night at the Mandalay Hotel in Vegas, after they'd had sex, Sandy
wandered outside their room. Security eventually called Mark to say there
was a naked woman outside his door. Sandy had gotten lost.
Sandy, who called herself "Princess," introduced Mark to her
twin Mandy who liked to call herself "Superstar." The girls
used gangster slang and called each other "nig."
Yagalla and Sandy talked about marriage and having kids. To mollify Tishara,
Mark bought her a new house for $850,000. They never ended up having sex.
Mark got new investors from Florida madam Rita Johnson. Sandy undertook
a $1.3 million renovation of her $1.7 million house.
Yagalla and Sandy took a vacation to Cancun with Sandy's friends - future
Playboy Playmate Brande Roderick and Chicago Bears quarterback Cade McNown.
Mandy and Sandy had to call Hefner every day to check in.
Hefner paid Sandy and Mandy $100,000 each - $80,000 more than the going
rate - for their nude layout in the May 2000 issue of Playboy. In April
2000, the twins and Hefner appeared throughout the media, from The Daily
Show to Late Night With Conan O'Brien.
Wallace writes: "Flanked by the twins in matching hot-pink cowboy
hats, Hefner swaggeringly maintained the facade of a relationship, gushing
about the power of Viagra. (The heterosexual icon, Sandy had told Yagalla,
had trouble finding satisfaction through intercourse; instead, he liked
the girls to pleasure each other while he masturbated and watched gay
porn.)"
Late in the year 2000, Yagalla's financial empire crashed, he was charged
with fraud, and the girls left him.
Nici from Nicisgirls.com kept emailing him until April, 2001, telling
him about her latest hot girls. Finally Mark told her he wanted nothing
more to do with her "harem of whores."
From PageSix.com: Hefner, who insists he enjoyed four-in-a-bed romps
with Sandy, her twin sister Mandy, Jessica Paisley and Brande Roderick
for two years, blasted the tale as "pure fantasy." He
told PAGE SIX: "The notion that Sandy and I were not having sex is
ridiculous. That's either Yagalla's fantasy or her telling him something
that isn't true. We had normal sexual relations for two years.
"I realize my life is unique and some people think it's a publicity stunt,"
said Hefner, 75. "Well, it isn't. The relationship with Sandy, Mandy,
Jessica and Brande was a normal one - except it involved five people.
They were my girlfriends and I was sleeping with all of them." As for
his pornographic preferences, Hefner assured us, "It certainly wasn't
gay porn."
Here are some excerpts from a 10/10/99 Washington Post article on Playboy
publisher Hugh Hefner:
"They're not faithful and committed to their girls. It's so fake and
phony, I won't have anything to do with it," says Doria Rhone, who for
three years hosted--and performed on--the phone-in sex show "Nightcalls"
when it was the top-rated program on cable television's Playboy Channel.
She left the show in 1998, she says, because its producer wanted her to
move toward more hard-core porn.
"It's unfortunate, because I had a great time working for them. They
treated me like a star on a Christmas tree--bodyguards, everything. The
minute I stopped working for them, they could care less if I was dead
or alive."
[Carrie] Leigh says Hefner would play tapes of him with his old girlfriends
on two large-screen TVs while he and Leigh made love. She told him it
hurt her feelings. She said he responded that her feelings of jealousy
were outdated. Eventually, Leigh says, she begged Hefner to destroy the
tapes that included her. "By my last year with him, there were no other
people having sex with us for a couple of years. I said, 'We might break
up, I might go on and have children, and I can't have you having these
tapes--someone else might get a hold of them.' "
From the 10/06/99 USA Today:
Playboy is looking to grow in cyberspace, as it has in cable TV, in part
because the men's magazine market has exploded. Added to longtime rivals
for male readers such as Penthouse, GQ and Esquire, has been a flood of
new ones such as Men's Health, Maxim and Details. Since 1997, some 20
men's magazines have emerged, most targeting specific interests such as
sports, finances, health, fashion and women. While most don't have the
nudity, many feature women in sexy photographs.
"Playboy is no longer unique. Each one of these magazines has taken on
a part of Playboy 's niche. It had to find a way to grow," says magazine
industry analyst Samir Husni of the University of Mississippi.
Hefner wants her company to have a $1 billion market capitalization by
2003, up from its current $552 million. She sees creating a separate,
public on-line company as one way to energize growth. "I believe on line
will be a significant contributor to our market-cap plans."
From the June 2001 issue of Philadelphia magazine:
Yagalla had come a long way from the night of his high-school prom,
when he'd stayed home distraught over his inability to get a date. Since
then, he'd been with more than a hundred women, but he'd paid for all
of them, one way or another. Beginning with a high-school experience
with a call girl at a nursery convention in Chicago, he had become a
compulsive procurer of high-priced "escorts," taking them on yachts
and vacations and generally living the life of a playboy. After he made
his first million, business became just numbers to him, a rigorous tedium
of sitting before a computer screen and holding the hands of anxious
clients. But he remained socially undeveloped, without hobbies to distract
him or the self-assuredness to enter a bar alone, and he sought to combat
his loneliness by purchasing companionship.
After a while, though he enjoyed the transactional efficiency of renting
prostitutes, he felt bored by them and sufficiently confident to go
after a woman who wasn't a sure thing. He started going to New York
and making the strip-club rounds with $10,000 in his pocket. While other
lonely men paid 20 bucks a lap dance, the 20-year-old ceo of Apex Investments
would peel off a Benjamin.
He churned through strippers as if sheer numbers could fill the hole
in him. But again he grew bored, and this time he turned to the Internet.
It was there that he stumbled on Nici's Girls, a website that was just
then taking the online escort business to a new level. Men willing to
pay a $5,000 "admission fee" could gain entrÈe to Nici's "Millionaires
Club," billed simply and mysteriously as a harem of unnamed porn stars,
Penthouse Pets and Playboy Playmates. That was enough for Yagalla. He
called Nici, who was herself just 21, and said he was young and had
a lot of money. She matched him with a pin-up girl who came to his home
and flew with him to Puerto Rico. The four days only cost him $28,000
plus airfare.
Soon, Yagalla was flying two new Nici's Girls a week to his house in
Wilmington, laying out $10,000 to $20,000 for the pleasure of their
company and the only sort of love he knew. He relished the jittery feeling
of driving to the Philadelphia Airport to pick up a girl. Eventually,
he started flying to L.A. to rendezvous with Nici's "specials," including
porn megastar Jenna Jameson.
Nici was fast becoming the new Heidi Fleiss, L.A.'s reigning madam,
and Yagalla, as a preferred (and relentless) customer, ended up befriending
her and learning her real name: Michelle Braun. She had grown up ordinary,
discovered certain talents, and gotten sidetracked, not unlike Yagalla.
Both were aggressive and in their early 20s, and they shared an interest
in talking about Nici's clients and how screwed-up Nici's Girls were.
Eventually, Yagalla asked Nici to set him up with Playmates. She had
a connection at Playboy, so all Yagalla had to do was page through the
magazine and, when he saw a girl he liked, call Nici. She'd obtain a
phone number or e-mail address for the girl and make the pitch. The
women she set Yagalla up with included two Playmates of the Year in
addition to Tishara Cousino, whom Nici priced at $40,000 for an introductory
weekend.
Yagalla had been searching for a trophy to cast in a real-life enactment
of Pretty Woman, and he viewed Tishara as the best candidate yet for
something he'd developed called "The Program." Mark would supply a woman
with a car, a place to live, a credit card, and an allowance set according
to her needs and market value. In return, she would be his "beck-and-call
girl."
When Tishara lay down in the ship's berth that first weekend in the
Florida Keys and offered herself to Yagalla, he said no. In thrall to
a romantic fantasy, he was put off by her bluntness. He said he only
wanted her when she wanted him. That Saturday, he bought Tishara a black
Mercedes SL 500. When she said she was unhappy with where she was living
in Las Vegas, he offered to buy her a house. She ended up going for
a place that cost $450,000. Mark thought this was a bit much, but he
wasn't good at saying no. He wanted his girlfriend to have whatever
she desired.
This was 1999, the year when a lot of people were under the impression
that a dot-com-fueled Nasdaq could defy gravity. Being 22 wasn't just
acceptable; it was desirable. And Yagalla affable, earnest, clearly
bright lacked just enough polish to avoid seeming slick. Investors
fearful of missing out on the gold rush were scrambling into his funds.
A Weatherly couple, Tom and Marion Huf, would ultimately invest more
than $3 million with him.
He'd send them monthly statements from the "Apex Investments Aggressive
Growth Fund," detailing precisely what he'd done with their money. He
was big on tech and Internet stocks. Initially he divvied the Hufs'
money up among aol, Dell, Microsoft, Yahoo! and emc. Then he pulled
out of emc and moved into eBay, Amazon and cmgi, among others. Over
time, the Apex statements became less detailed. By the fall of 1999,
Yagalla was reporting to the Hufs that their portfolio had leaped more
than 50 percent in one month. In November alone, a statement showed
their account soaring from $2.15 million to $3.47 million.
From the start, Ashbury's monthly statements disclosed nothing more
than the net change in an investor's account, but they were just as
bullish as the Apex reports. An investor who gave Yagalla $20,000 on
July 1, 1999, would have shown assets of $34,730 by the end of the year.
As for Yagalla, he would later report that his personal income for 1999
was $6 million.
Mark Yagalla was cruising through Las Vegas in a limousine, sitting
between Tishara Cousino and Sandy Bentley, when he began to get the
picture. This was the last weekend of August. A few days earlier, Tishara
had called him on three-way with fellow Playboy model Sandy on the line,
and they had all agreed to go to tonight's Cher concert at the mgm.
Yagalla knew that Sandy was one half of the busty, platinum-blond Bentley
twins, who were themselves one half of Hugh Hefner's current quartet
of official girlfriends. Suddenly, Mark Yagalla, who not four years
earlier had answered to the name Erkle, was asking: "Won't Hefner mind?"
"He wishes," Sandy replied.
Now, as the threesome headed toward Crazy Horse Too, a strip club where
Sandy used to dance, things began to make sense. At dinner before the
show, Sandy, in a red cocktail dress, had patted the banquette next
to her, beckoning for Yagalla to sit there. And in the limo now, post-concert,
Sandy said she wished he was her boyfriend, too. Yagalla viewed a girlfriend
of Hugh Hefner's as the ultimate trophy, and he rose to the challenge:
He could be her boyfriend, too, he said. "We'll be a happy family,"
Tishara said. At Crazy Horse, Yagalla reveled in the moment. He had
Tishara on one knee, Sandy on the other. They took turns kissing him.
When the club's silicone-bolstered talent wondered aloud what his secret
was, he replied honestly: "I'm fucking loaded."
The next morning, Yagalla bought Sandy a Mercedes SL 500 for $97,000.
Then the two of them joined Tishara for lunch at the Venetian, where
Yagalla laid out his most outlandish version of the Program yet. He
would give both women Platinum American Express cards and pay them each
monthly allowances of $20,000 to $25,000. Tishara already had her car
and house; Sandy had the car and would get a house. Yagalla wanted to
make it so they would have a lot to lose by leaving him. Tishara suggested
they all get hiv tests. (Though she declined to be interviewed, Cousino
denies that she met Yagalla through a madam and that he put her on a
"program.")

RE: Publication of Private
Communications
Dear Mr. Ford;
Please be advised that
this office represents the interests of Nici's Girls and all parties associated
with this company.
We have been informed
that on April 6, 1999 you published a personal and confidential e-mail
on your website at www.l-keford.com. The communication in question is
dated April 6, 1999. The publication of a privileged and confidential
e-mail without the authority pf the sender is a violation of civil and
criminal statutes on both the State and Federal level which protect against
the dissemination of privileged and confidential e-mail communications.
According to the Electronic Communications Act of 1986, if prosecuted
on this charge in a Federal court you face a mandatory 3 year prison sentence
and/or a $100,000 fine.
The communication, which
has been published by you, was a privileged communication and intended
only for the use of the recipient. Since you are clearly not the recipient,
you are hereby notified that the publishing and distributing of this e-mail
is prohibited.
At this time we are requesting
that you immediately cease and desist from any further publication of
private communications via the internet. Your continued publication of
this letter will only subject you to added penalties under the law.
It is abundantly clear
that your publication of this privileged communication was done maliciously
and with reckless disregard for the privacy interests of my client.
My office has been instructed
to take immediate action against you for your blatant violation of the
privacy concerns of Nici's Girls, which includes the filing of a civil
action against you for invasion of privacy and defamation.
Govern yourself accordingly.
Sincerely,

Gilbert's full name is

standing with the California State Bar here. It seems he's been disciplined
many times: "This member has a public record of discipline which consists

Brandy Alexandre of www.kamikaze.com
responds:
I'm happy to allow the
"personal and confidential" e-mail acquired by Mr. L-ke F-rd to be reposted
by me, since I didn't happen to save the one Nici sent to me, which
said the exact same thing. Spam mail, as far as I'm concerned, since
it was unsolicited and commercial in nature. Pot calling the kettle
black if you want to talk about internet no-nos.
While it is considered
to be one of the deepest breaches of netiquette to post e-mail, I have
had MANY conversations about copyright and privacy with an attorney
and he unequivocally states that there is no way anyone can ever expect
that e-mail is in any way private. It can go through scores of computers
before reaching its destination and can be read by anyone along the
way. The sender is presumed to be aware of this and consents to it simply
by hitting the "send" button. Even with PGP keys, which was not attached
to the email I received, and most likely not this one either, you cannot
claim that your email was confidential in nature.
Also, with regard to
copyrights, it is the recipient of "mail," which is loosely interpretted
as all correspondence in the electronic age, who is the copyright owner
(it's more complex based on the content, but none of it would apply
to this, so I'm snipping it), not the sender. Apparently, the recipient
of this email thought so little of their "ownership" of it they freely
gave it to Mr. Ford to do with as he pleased. Allow me to digress a
little bit and state that anyone giving anything to Pooper Scoop L-ke
F-rd must be presumed to be operating under the knowledge that he will
print every last word of it, so this was obviously intended for publication
by the person who forwarded it regardless of whether or not any verbage
to the effect was exchanged. That's simply what he does.
Depending on what Mr.
Ford said in relation to his putting the email on his web site is another
matter entirely. I haven't seen it so I don't know. The letter is just
a scare tactic to get their way. From the content of the email itself,
even without Ford's color commentary, I cannot seem how Nici can be
defamed. She's already claiming she's a pimp AND a hooker in the email.
How much worse can it get than that?
As for *my* privileged
email, I forwarded mine to a biography writer for one of her celebrity
clients, as well as subsequent communication between Nici and me with
regard to him. So sue me. It was *my* email, in the end, and I can do
with it as I please.
Fred Nek writes to Luke:
I read the letter you
posted on your web site from a lawyer allegedly representing Nici's
Girls. You may want to point out to this attorney that Rule 5-100(A)
of the Rules of Professional Conduct state:
"A member (i.e. a member
of the California Bar) shall not threaten to present criminal, administrative,
or disciplinary charges to obtain an advantage in a civil dispute."
These rules govern attorneys
in California.
DrZ writes to Luke:
I have been an avid
reader and fan of yours for quite some time now. However, until this
very moment I never thought that my opinion really counted in your discussions
so I have kept my comments to myself. Well now I finally have the opportunity
to shed some light on one of your very controversial topics. Seize the
moment!
Come on Luke. Who are
you going to believe? The porn stars? Don't get me wrong, I love these
women as much as the next guy but we're not talking about the most well
rounded individuals in the world here. These are PORN stars!
I use services like
Nici's Girls all of the time, including Nici's Girls on several occasions.
Ironically enough it was Nici that introduced me to both Missy and Davia
Ardell. Aren't these the very ladies that have disputed association
with this agency on your board? Missy [she denies this] was beautiful
and very sweet but let's just say that Davia isn't all that she is cracked
up to be.
After keeping me waiting
in my Las Vegas hotel room for more than 2 hours she showed up wearing
sweats, no makeup, and had no eyebrows. Needless to say I had to politely
decline her services. I even asked Nici one time about Alicia Rio and
she refered to me to her ad at www.city-source.com telling me it might
be easier if I booked her directly. And as for Bianca Trump - she posts
on her very own site at www.biancatrump.com that she is available for
escorting so is it so why is it so hard to believe that somewhere along
the way she gave Nici permission to post her as well. After all Nici's
is a much nicer site than www.angeliquesesc.com where Bianca was posted
for almost a year.
I've got to ask you
though Luke, why Nici? I have been following this post for a while and
I have not seen any confrontation between you and her. As a matter of
fact the ladies I met through her had nothing but wonderful things to
say about her professionalism and fairness. I think that the only thing
Nici is guilty of is over charging for the ladies servies but then again
you'll never hear the girls complaining about that!
I mean what would be
her motive? She obviously has access to all of the women posted on her
site. Of course any girl with an ounce of humility would deny working
for such an agency when confronted on your board among her fans and
peers.
I have seen these very
same girls posted at sites like www.allure-la.com and www.playboysclub.com.
I have even run across a few of them while visiting with Caressa Savage.
Caressa runs her own ad in the LA Express. The site www.xxxvideovixens.com
also advertised the services of many top XXX Film Stars under the link
"Porn Stars Who Escort". I don't think it is still listed on their site
but you can contact these same people through an ad in the LA Weekly
that reads "Porn Star 818-XXX-XXXX". Also have you visited www.shylafoxxx-productions.com?
She advertises her services on her own site as well and even posted
with Nici's Girls way back when. Is it fair to say that the proprietors
of these services are pimps too?
I don't think it is
fair to call Nici a pimp. She does not make offers of prostitution but
merely an introduction to your favorite film actress or adult model.
She clearly posts on her site that if you have a dream date she will
try to find them for you so it seems only logical that she would e-mail
a lady in the manner which she did. Perhaps this was by a clients request.
A pimp no. A good business woman yes. From all of my dealings with Nici
she has proved to be an honest, fair, and nice person.
I don't mean to be a
pooper on this topic but it just seems that there are larger issues
to fret over than this one. I mean for christ sakes Luke our country
could possibly go to war with Russia if you watch the real news and
believe in the writings of Nostradamus.
Like I said, up until
now I WAS a fan. But I agree with Nici's attorney - you have a blatant
disregard for the well being of others. Just always remember the golden
rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Now those are
words worthy of being read.
Jim writes: "I love the
Brandy letter. She's so adorably nasty to you, Nici and everyone else.
The part about defending their reputation was the funniest. Your posting
of both the cease-and-desist followed by Brandy's note, both in their
entirety makes for great reading!
"Pimping and whoring are
nasty, judgemental terms. Madam and escort are the nicer terms. Soliciting
and prostitution are the formal terms for it. You can judge the attitude
by the term used.
"Nici has found a good
angle - people will pay a lot for "stars" and for the stars making a large
amount for a sex episode that is not videotaped is not far from making
a medium amount for one that is. Pursue this one and you'll be back on
TV again soon!"
Porn star Bianca Trump
writes: "#1. I never gave Nikki permission to post my pics. I was on Angeliques
sites and in all their ads for nearly 4 years exclusively.Not one year.
When we parted ways I went on my own. Odiously thus my web site. I never
deny anything scandalous I do. Why would I start now? I don't give a rats
ass who knows I escort or where I do it. It comes down to money. If someone
is posting my pictures and doesn't even know me .....well then I'm not
making any money am I? And the clients are mad that they can't see me.
So no one wins DDUUHHH. Luke, Do your readers think before they speak?
"#2 As far as that email
goes it's bullsh-t. I went to her site clicked on the exclusive members
site and entered Jack Ass as my name and a hotmail email account. In 2
seconds I got a password. The same thing from a friends house under the
name Jack Off again SAME password in 2 minutes. There is nothing descrete
about her or her service. Anyone can look in that part of the site. There
is NO confidentiality at all. Like I said before she is just a LIAR!
"Lastly......$25,000.00
a day...............please. I was born some day but not yesterday."

Porn Stars & Prostitutes
I interviewed the self-proclaimed world's biggest madam Thursday night.
Stacey, 44 years old, wanted to rebutt charges against her by Brandy
Alexandre.
Stacey tells Luke: "I've been doing this for over 15 years. I have
over 2000 girls, over 200 porn stars, and over 300 centerfolds... Out
of all these girls are at least ten girls who are friends of hers that
work for me... It's like throwing rocks at your own house.
"I worked as a call girl. You can read my
story on my site Covergirlsinternational.com.
"There is no war going on between Nici [of Nicisgirls.com] and I.
It's hard to be friends with Nicis... She really thinks that she owns
those girls. And everyone knows that...
"I put together a site because I was a private madam for a long
time, catering to a certain group of men. And I decided to go on the internet
so that my guys could finally see photos, because I was starting to deal
with a lot of porn stars... Then my site took off and become something
wonderful. And everybody wanted to know about me.
"I have nothing to hide. I really am a nice person. I'm not a rude
bitch. She [Brandy Alexandre] kept sending me horrible emails... And I
thought, in defense of all the women who do escort. There are a lot of
wonderful people who are raising children, getting their lives back together,
furthering their careers, or just enjoy dating men. There's nothing wrong
with that."
Rumdar writes: "Getting their lives back together??????..Must be
a more wholesome business than I imagined .....sounds more like Rehab."
Luke: "I noticed on Nicisgirls.com that many of the women they claim
to represent, these women claim adamently that they are not represented
by Nici."
Stacey: "I know every girl on Nici's site and a lot of the girls
are not... For instance, Mason Marconi called me tonight crying her eyes
out because she does not work for Nici. She's been advertised on LA Exotics
and other places. To get your photo off of Nici's site is a real ordeal.
I called her and tried to get her to take pictures down. Not because I
am trying to be exclusive with the girls. Let's face it, the girls are
going to work for whoever makes them money. And they should be able to
work for everyone. She does have a lot of girls on her site that don't
even know her.
"I put a couple of pictures up on my site, of a girlfriend of a
girlfriend who said, 'yeah, my girlfriend will work.' So then I put her
picture up on my site and then I called her and she said, 'No, don't put
my picture up.' So I immediately took it down and I quit doing that. She
does have a lot of people up there who don't work for her."
Luke: "Who is Nici?"
Stacey: "She's a 22-year old girl. She worked for an escort agency
in California. The girl went out of business. And Nici ended up with her
little black book. And opened up her own business. Then she opened up
this beautiful web site about three years ago. She was one of the first
people to put the porn star pictures and centerfolds on the internet.
So that's why she became so instantly successful. She has a beautiful
site and she works with many beautiful girls. But if you work with a girl
that she represents, she comes out to attack you. I think that's because
she's 22. I'm 44. When you get in this business a long time, you realize
that it is better to get along with everyone instead of fighting with
people."
Luke: "Would you be the biggest at what you do?"
Stacey: "Let's put it this way. Madame Alex who originally wrote
the book Madame 90211 was one of my best friends. I had all her girls
and all her clients. And when Heidi Fleiss went into business, we worked
with all the same people. Unfortunately, Heidi was a party girl who loved
to tell everyone about who she could provide drugs and party favors for.
She thought that she was above the law. I cater to a more private audience.
I'm totally against drugs. I've done all that stuff myself years ago.
I'm totally against that environment.
"I try to put together a romantic boy meets girl total girlfriend
experience date. We have a lot of men who see the same women again and
again and again. I do mostly evening bookings. Travel packages. I try
to provide something really nice for that really busy executive. Eighty
five percent of my clientelle are single workaholics."
Luke: "I am looking at your list of starlets and you have many of
the biggest names in the adult industry here such as Cheyenne Silver."
Stacey: "I have another site called PornStarBookings.com which is
brand new. And I have another site FamousIntroductions.com which is a
$5000 introductory membership. That has a lot of very famous women."
Luke: "How full service is this? When I look at these porn stars...
You've got Vivid girl Cheyenne Silver. She's huge. [She's getting married
or is already married.] So what could a person purchase from Cheyenne
Silver?"
Stacey: "I provide companionship. I make introductions. That's it.
Whatever the two adults decide to do on their own is their own business.
I charge a lot of money to make introductions. Let's face it, nine times
out of ten, when you make an introduction, then the two people usually
do their thing on their own. That's why I charge a lot. If you check with
matchmakers, they charge about the same. My minimum would be a $5000 evening
booking. And my average is between $10,000 and $15,000 for a booking for
an evening with a famous adult film star or a famous Playmate or a famous
Penthouse Pet. And I have a lot of actresses from sitcoms and soap operas
and things of that nature."
Luke: "Do you have pictures of those on your site?"
Stacey: "Yes I do but I don't want them exploited."
Luke: "I'm clicking on Models."
Stacey: "You won't see them on the Models. That's a small sampling.
It's mostly girls that you will see on all the escort sites. And my clients,
when they become a client, every time there is a new girl, I send them
a private email. And the girls know that I keep things as private as possible
so I can't possibly tell you because your business is media...
"I'm looking at this as maybe good advertising after what she's
done. But I am happily available to answer any questions you might have..."
Luke says: Folks, email me your questions for the world's most important
madam.
Stacey: "I never want to hurt anybody. I raised a daughter being
a call girl and loved it. I enjoyed it. I met the most wonderful men in
the world and then decided to start introducing my men to girls. And that's
how I got into the business. I adore the girls I work with and I love
my clients. They're great friends."
Here are some of the porn stars on Stacy's site CovergirlsInternational.com:
Alicia Rio, Madelyn Niight, Nici Sterling, Anna Malle, Doria, Cheyenne
Silver, Mimi Miyagi, Danni Ashe, Taylor Wane, Penelope Pumpkins, Gina
Lamarca, Shyla Foxx, Natalie Bach, Marylin Star, Jr Carrington, Jessica
Jewel, Alex Dane...
Nici from NicisGirls.com writes:
Dear Luke, I think Stacey is a nice woman, I have nothing to say against
her except that she gets her facts mixed up and she is notorious for
stretching the truth. I know every single girl listed on my site personally.
Come on Luke, I'm sure you've heard enough about me over the years to
know that's true. The fact of the matter is that Mason Marconi's assistant/webmaster
took it upon himself to pose as Mason and e-mail everyone on the Web
who has her listed as available for private appearances. Mason told
me that he did this because he had no idea that she was doing this and
he does not agree with it. I'm sure Stacey received one of his e-mails
and has exaggerated it to "Mason Marconi called me tonight crying her
eyes out..." The funny thing is that it's actually Stacey that all of
the girls deny knowing but every time I confront her about it she says
that they just don't want to piss me off so I have given up. She has
her Web site password protected so that the girls can't see their pictures
there. She is the one with something to hide!
Stacey is correct about one thing, I was the first person to advertise
Centerfolds and Porn Stars on the Web. It took a little over a year
for Stacey and the other copycats to follow. I made their jobs so easy!
Stacey and the others know the girls are available because I have done
all of the leg work, they see them on my Web site and all they have
to do is e-mail them! When Stacey first came Online it was like the
second coming of Nici's Girls. She had all of my pictures on her site
and she only knew a few of the girls. I got her to take the pictures
down but a few of the girls like Anna Malle, Nici Sterling and Brittany
Andrews stayed with her. It's been a few years now and allof them have
received no more than one or two bookings from her. I'm not complaining
though. I know I am the biggest and the best, I've made the girls a
lot of money and I have absolutely nothing to prove.
I have a private list of over 200 Porn Stars and Centerfolds who would
never book with anyone else, names that would blow your mind! If Stacey,
or anyone else for that matter, wants to talk bad about me then let
them. I think it says a lot that I'm so young, been in the business
only five years, and come much farther than others have in twice the
time. By the way, I'm older than 22 and I never worked for an escort
agency, I did phones for about a week when I was 18 for a friend of
mine who ran a massage parlor and that is how I got the idea to do this.
I actually had to place ads in the LA Weekly for my first girls! It
was grueling work, you should see some of the girls that have the nerve
to apply to an ad for "model looks," you would die!
Brandy Alexandre writes Luke: "I just got an email from someone
who apparently wants to steal hookers from NicisGirls.com. I was wondering
if we're about to have pimp wars in the escort field. It annoys me because
she says she "heard" I was with Nici. Not only is that false, but I'm
not even a porn star hooker. This "stacy" girl is apparently gathering
email addresses from the net and hoping to hit pay dirt. Not that I defend
either party, but I thought I should warn the girls who do hook through
Nici who might be fooled, and alert others to an interesting war in the
making. :)"

I AM NOTHING LIKE A TYPICAL ESCORT AGENCY AND CERTAINLY NOT FOR EVERYONE.....
My Clients think of me as their personal "Confidant" and I have known
most of them for years! Recently, I went on line and still remain private
and above all I remain EXTREMELY SELECTIVE, because I can...be......
QUALITY vs QUANTITY..... My Escort pages on "CoverGirls International"
are private to insure a certain quality of Clientele. This gives you
a little more privacy. It's $100 to just see you there. This is why
the girls don't blurr their faces and even more Exclusive for many of
you is my "Private Famous Introductions" site which is $5,000 Membership
and.....so VERY EXCLUSIVE because I pick & choose who I allow to be
a Member, so even at $5k I select who sees this very very PRIVATE page.
Some girls with me still do not even want a photo there due to their
contracts with films, their agents or personal privacy...I deeply understand
this and can still work with you, don't worry!!!!
I cater to the Affluent Executive Gentleman. All Clients are screened
as they must go through an extensive background check in order to
have the privilege of booking with me. Your safety is my number one
concern! I am always there for you too, 24hrs if you ever should need

charming, incredibly sensuous, sweet, fun, exciting....A Total Package.
I market you incredibly well and provide a suitable match not just an
escort. I tell the Client all about how wonderful you are, your charming
qualities and then he clicks on the photo to see your page. I assure

are! I never market you as an Escort but as a wonderful Introduction,

Brandy Alexandre writes: I seem to have upset her. Here is the rest of
my email exchanges with "Stacy."
My initial reply was: "By saying you heard that, this must be spam.
You're sending to all porn stars assuming we're all hookers. Well, I'm
not with Nici and I'm not a hooker. So go f-ck yourself and leave yourself
a five on the dresser when you're done."
To which she responded:
"Oh my gosh I am shocked at your email, I am soooooo sorry to have
upset and offended you, a Client of mine said he thought you were thr
Brandy she was booking and he was dying to meet you, he asked me to please
contact you so, I am terribly sorry! He offered $15k for a date and meant
it with all due respect not as a hooker for goodness sakes. I am sorry....I
will inform him immediately that you were terribly insulted and do not
work with Nici or anyone else. my warmest regards and please don't talk
like that until you know somone is trying to hurt you, I certainly am
not!"
And I replied: "Since when does a "date" for $15k not include an
open expectation for sex? I don't care how you word it or how much respect
is involved, prostitution is prostitution. A hooker is a hooker."
And her final retort:
"and a rude bitch is just that...a rude bitch hope life gets better
you must be terribly miserable to take the time to be so f-cking mean."
