Only a dozen people had shown up to celebrate the birthday of Vivid girl Tawny Roberts by the time I left at 11:15pm Wednesday. Attendess included Mary, Tawny, Tee Reel, a couple of photographers and a handful of people I didn't know.

"It stinks to be the only person at your own birthday party," Tawny said to her big brother, who, along with his wife and four kids, is not in the industry.

"I want to go drive around for half an hour," Tawny said. "This sucks."

The Vivid girl seemed peeved with her friend Mary's inability to generate a turnout.

I arrived at 10pm, the scheduled time for the beginning of the party. I saw nobody from the industry. After walking around the Red Rock at 8782 Sunset Blvd, I stepped into the men's room. Inside, I overheard some people talking in the upstairs corridor. They opened up the second floor lounge.

I lay back in a seat and listened to 1950s music until 10:25 when a drunk Mary Carey and Tawny Roberts and Tawny's brother and sister-in-law arrived.

Mary changed the music to loud rap.

She jumps up and down.

Mary tells me that Jesse Jane and Hannah Harper are going to show up. That by 11:30pm, the place will be rocking.

I talk to Tawny about her fight with fellow Vivid girl Savannah Samson at the AEE in January. Tawny says it was the shock of finding out that her boyfriend Chris was now with Savannah.

Tawny's calmed down since then. She has a new boyfriend. She says she's been moving around a lot. She's not sure where she wants to live.

Black male Red Light District contract performer Tee Reel says he's never had sex with Mary or Tawny. Vivid does very little interracial, but if they did, Tee Reel says he would be one of the first guys hired.

Tee has been in porn 18-months. He grew up in Cleveland. He went to Columbia College in Chicago, and got a degree in film. He directed music videos prior to entering porn.

He says Sean Michaels is his hero.

Tee will begin directing porn in the new few months.

He's hosting a birthday party for Violet Blue in two weeks.

Duke: "How did you get into porn?"

Tee: "A lot of the girls in the music videos were porn stars. I dated a couple of them and they brought me into the business. I just broke up with Amber Peach. I'm back on the singles market."

Duke: "What do you love and what do you hate about working in the porn industry?"

Tee: "I love the money and the women. I hate the politics. I hate unprofessional guys and girls who are only in this for money."

Duke: "That's most of them."

Tee: "I'm fortunate. Most of the girls who won't do interracial will f--- me."

Duke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool?"

Tee: "They were quite popular. Let's put it that way. Life has been very good to me."

Duke: "Were you a good student?"

Tee: "I was the nice guy. All the bad boys got the hottest chicks... The rest, we were just friends."

Tee says he lost his virginity at age 15 and then slept with another 40 women before he graduated highschool. In his life, he estimates he's been with just shy of 400.

"I'm trying to be more professional, to separate my working life from my personal life."

Tee says he doesn't have a preference between women inside or outside of the industry, but it just usually ends up with him dating within the industry. "No [civilian] woman is going to feel comfortable with you f---ing other women for a living."

Duke: "Do you encounter much racial discrimination in the industry?"

Tee: "Not a lot. There are women who won't do interracial because they think they're going to get hurt. I'm one of the nicest guys in the industry."

Mary tells the photographers that they can't get too wild because Tawny's brother is a Mormon. I ask him if that's true. He won't say. His wife says she is not Mormon.

This is their first industry event.

Mary Carey says everyone is downstairs. At 11:15pm, I walk downstairs. I see nobody from the industry. I leave.
