Olivia Saint, Hayley Rivers, Ron Sullivan On Rob Spallone's Thursday Set

I arrive at Cytherea's home at 11 a.m, July 15, 2004. Ron Sullivan's preparing to shoot a scene between tall white girl Olivia Saint and tall busty black girl Carmen.

Ron's looking more and more like a gangbanger with each passing day. His hair is covered like a woman. He has an earring.

I chat with black girl Starr, who's watching the scene. This is supposed to be her first video scene. When she was 16, she used to dance at a club in Inglewood and down the street here in Woodland Hills. She was busted and put in juvenile hall for a year.

She entered porn in February and has done several shoots for the Internet. She doesn't like me photographing her.

She says I have a deadly serious stare, even when my mouth is smiling. I look like I've been in the military.

I hear LFP has cut Jim Holliday's budgets dramatically.

I meet blonde Hayley Rivers. She stands 5'9 with medium hair and natural breasts and a slim lithe body. She seems to enjoy chatting with me.

She's done five scenes in her three weeks in the industry. "I had my period for a whole week," she says within 30 seconds of meeting me. "I just started Steppo Privera [birth control shot]. After a while, you don't get your period at all. But the first time you get it, it's long and horrible. I'm glad it's gone and I hope it won't come back for a long time."

From Long Beach, Hayley spent the last four years near Christchurch, New Zealand where she worked as a nude dancer.

"I went to Australia with my mom. We did a mom-and-daughter surf trip. We went to Syndey and up to Noosa Heads."

"Why did you move to New Zealand for four years?"

"I wanted to get away. I was doing fashion in New York and I wanted to do the farthest thing from New York. So that was New Zealand.

"I made this surfer chick with a woman in Australia. Then she ran off with a young boy and abandoned the project. I decided to do it on my own. I spent about five months on it all in all. I shot in on the Gold Coast [of Australia]. It's a behind-the-scenes look at surfing."

Carmen asks Olivia, "Do you know that you have your panties on backwards?"

"No," Olivia says. "I didn't."

Hayley says she went on a nine-day trek through the Himalayas up to 16,000 feet with a French artist guy. I got all this writing inspiration. I want to write and produce feature films."

"What sort of crowd did you hang out with in high school?"

"I was friends with everybody. I was bored. I graduated early in my junior year. I was a straight-A student."

Ron Sullivan is upset. His wife Delores has not shown up with the copier. Ron just wants to shoot. He doesn't want to be bothered with these housekeeping matters.

Ron: "I'll be gone as long as I need to be gone. I'm not too good at doing this s---. I shoot movies."

Starr didn't bring an AIDS test. She says it is back home in Palmdale. Rob tells her to check her car. She leaves.

Ron rants that the production is at the mercy of a homeless woman who sends unreliable talent to the set.

Rob's shooting 100 girls a month for a guy in the United Kingdom.

Photographer Bill Diehl relates a story about shooting the lead of a Joe Papp musical in Chicago. The shot was elaborate. The whole cast lined the staircase with the star at the top. Bill told her to suck in her gut. She burst into tears and ran off to the bathroom.

I notice Bill telling almost all the women he shoots to suck in their stomachs.

Rob walks by the three black girls (Karma, Brown Sugar, Mynaja) and tells them not to talk to me. "He's bad news."

Mynaja says Rob sounds like Andrew Dice Clay.

Rob says only one photo ID is needed these days.

Hayley Rivers came to the set to have sex with one girl. Rob tells she's working with two girls. Hayley asks for more money. Rob says no. Rob says it is less work for her if there are two girls. But it is up to her. She doesn't have to work with two girls if she does not want to.

Hayley goes back and forth and finally decides she only wants to work with one girl - Karma.

A guy comes in with his girlfriend. She wants to take a shower but the power is off and she fears the water won't be warm. He tells her it will be fine. She tells him to shut up.

The set is chaos. The power goes on and off. Talent are stacking up.

Lindsay lives with Cytherea and her husband. Lindsay is 5'2". She offers drinks all round, including Bacardi. Her boyfriend is 6'8".

Karma comes from Cincinnatti where she's a nude dancer.

Rob Spallone phones at 3:30 p.m. "This is for your friend Guenther. Delores told me that Guenther called her last night. He wanted her to change something on the DVDs. She said no. I'm friends with Rob Spallone, not you. I do things for Rob. You're in a story shopping and you don't know what you're looking for. You don't have a clue.' I wish him the best of luck."
