Porn Star Karaoke Kat Lexi Marie, Penny Lane Lexi, Penny Penny, friend Penny, friend Lisa Sparxxx Lisa, Lani Lisa, Lani Penny Lane Penny Penny Kat, friend Gigi Jamie Gigi, Jamie, Kat Gigi, Jamie, Kat Jamie, Tim, Kat Josh, Chico Wang Chico, Kat Kat Kat 3/29/05 I begin the night at a Hollywood panel discussion. People ask me if I'm drunk. Why I'm acting so crazy. At Porn Star Karaoke on Shane's World night (the biggest turnout I've seen), people ask me why I am so serious. I interviewed three girls (Kat, Jamie, Gigi) from Naughty Talent as well as publicist (and former AVN writer) Wayne Hentai and director Chico Wanker Wang. I interview Kat, 19, first. She wears brace and stands 5' tall. She weighs 98 pounds. Tod Hunter stands beside me. We're outside. It's cool. Kat wears short-sleeves. She shivers. Duke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?" Kat smiles. She's bubbly. "When I was three, I wanted to be a ballerina. When I was six, a doctor. When I was ten, an actor. Now I want to write. I want to get into journalism. I wrote a lot of poetry, depressive poetry. When I was 16, almost 18, I was just depressed because I was away from home all the time. I got caught up in drugs, so I wrote a lot. That kept me sane for a while. "When I was 18, I got out of probation and into porn. After what I've been through, now that I'm doing porn, it is way better. "I grew up in the San Fernando Valley. I've never left the Valley. "I lived in group homes [from 16 to 18]. Probation. I got into a lot of fights in school. I ditched a lot. I was known as a bad kid in school and they would always blame it on me." Duke: "Did you have an in-tact home? Did you have a mother and a father who loved you?" Kat: "I had a staff. They were really mean." Duke: "Did you have loving parents?" Kat: "My mom is single. Me and her have been through so much and now we're the only ones that live at the house. She was the first person I told I was doing porn." Kat has never spoken to her father. She says her stepdad and older brother have been father-figures to her. Duke: "Why were you acting out so much in highschool?" Kat: "For attention." Duke: "Because you weren't getting it at home?" Kat: "I was the middle child. I like to have fun. I had a really strict mom. I wasn't allowed to go out at night. I would either have to sneak out or ditch school." Duke: "Did you have a religious mother?" Kat: "Yes, she's Catholic. So am I." Duke: "Do you go to church regularly?" Kat: "Not regularly. I have to go because I have to confess." Kat hasn't been to church in eight months, the length of time she's been in porn. "I think sodomy is against the religion." She giggles. Duke: "Pretend I am your priest. What would you say?" Kat: "I want to be forgiven for having sex and because I didn't keep my promise. I lost my virginity at 18. That isn't something I wanted to do. I wanted to stay a virgin. Two months after I lost my virginity, I started doing porn." Duke: "What were the circumstances in which you lost your virginity?" Kat: "I got out of the group home at 18. I didn't have anybody close to me at that time. I needed a person. I had some guy. He was one of my friends." Duke: "How did you get into porn?" Kat: "One house that I was living at, my roommates were like 40 years old. I was the youngest one there. This one guy (Ryan) was a PA for a porn company (Anarchy). When he found out I was getting into the house, he said, watch out, I'm going to get this 18-year old girl into porn. He did. "Ryan looks like the brother from Everybody Loves Raymond." Kat had only been with two guys before entering porn. Now she's done about 90 movies in the last eight months, she says. "I did two scenes today. I'm always busy." Duke: "What do you like about porn?" Kat: "I'm ok with the lifestyle. My mom is ok with it. She's always there. She was at the show (AEE). I'm doing something different. I've always been known to do crazy weird stuff. This totally fits my description. I love to live my life this way. I'm still going to write." Tod Hunter: "If you want to write, read." Duke: "What have you been reading lately? Do you read much?" Kat: "No. The last book I read I should've read when I was 12 -- Go Ask Alice. It reminds me of me." Duke: "What do you love and hate about the porn industry?" Kat: "I love the work. I love...ohmig-d, it makes me feel like a rock star. I hate when I get caught up in it and do too much of it. I just took two weeks off. It's the longest break I've taken." Kat says she doesn't have a boyfriend. "I prefer to date. Mostly outside the industry. I've never dated a guy in the industry." Kat's cell phone keeps going off but she doesn't answer it. Duke: "What are your ambitions?" Kat: "Like, out of life? I want to reach my goals." Duke: "What are your goals?" Kat: "To have a plan. I want to write a book or something. Me and my mom have a relationship. To keep it that way. It's so hard not to fight with her." Duke: "How is your mom ok with this?" Kat: "She sees that I'm happy. I still live at home." Duke: "How is the reality of this industry different from what you expected?" Kat: "I never really thought about the industry. To me, it was a big shocker. I was thinking how wrong this is... I freaked out. I was watching naked people around me. It was weird. I always think about it. Every day I'm on set I laugh about it. How it used to freak me out. Now it's normal. It's part of my lifestyle." Duke: "Has anyone tried to push you to do things you didn't want to do?" Kat: "Yeah. Maybe small stuff. An extra BJ here and not pay you." Four times Kat has received bad checks. I run into Scotty Schwartz. He remembers his 21st birthday lay of Lynn LeMay. Buck Adams set it up. Scotty, a friend from New Jersey, Lynn, and Tamara Lee went back to Scotty's father's apartment. Scotty says his dad cock-blocked Ray Victory so Scotty's friend could score with Tamara. Scotty and Lynn talked about getting married at an XRCO Awards. Scotty says Lynn didn't return his calls (four) when he wanted to pursue that. Scotty has worked in his dad's trophy business for the past five years. Chico 'Wanker' Wang says he married a porn girl (Chanel Chavez) in Las Vegas three weeks ago. Chico was drunk. Chico doesn't live with his bride. "She owns half of my property, I guess. Right now I love the Hispanic peoples because she's originally from Mexico." Chico was in Las Vegas with Kat's mom. "We were having dinner. I was feeling her up in front of her mom." Kat giggles at the memory. Chico: "I was drunk off my ass. I told her mom, 'I'm a lazy f---. I want to have sex with your daughter. I want to have twins. That's enough for me. And Kat was cool with it.' Kat giggles. Duke: "How did her mother react?" Chico: "'Ahh, Chico. You're cool. Whatever.'" Kat: "She didn't take it too seriously." Chico tries to schedule a scene between Kat and I. No dice. I hear Kelly Taylor and Dick Tracy broke-up. Dan Silver had dinner with Larry Flynt two weeks ago. Larry wants to compete with Red Light District and Anabolic, the kings of gonzo. Dan, who made his name as an editor, has shot one video for LFP and should be shooting a lot more. I meet Penny Lane. She thinks I'm Scott Fayner, who wrote about her snorting eight-balls of cocaine. Penny says Scott does far more drugs than her. When Penny was hitting the coke, she lost her boobs and became skinny. Back from rehab, she again looks like a woman. A long ADT thread about Penny began last November. Penny is ready to party. "I smoked a lot of pot," she explains. She grapples with Lexi Marie and various male friends. I run into child actor and later pornographer Scotty Schwartz, now 35. I ask him about the time he got together with Lynn LeMay on his 21st birthday. Lynn and Scott talked about getting married. Then, Scott says, Lynn never returned his calls. I interview Gigi, who entered porn ten days ago. "I started out wanting to do nude modeling and it just evolved from there. I'm the newest face in the business." Duke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?" Gigi: "A choreograph dancer. I've been dancing since I was one-and-a-half. I learned lyrical, tap, jazz, ballet, modern, hip-hop and gymnastics." Gigi stands 5' tall and weighs 98 pounds. She's blonde with a bubbly personality. Duke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool?" Gigi: "I was a loner. I hung out with my dance friends. I wasn't big into highschool. I just danced." Gigi, 20, says she was a good students and her best subjects were math and science. She says she watched a lot of porn as a teenager, particularly girl-girl. Gigi: "I love the camera. It's my best friend. I love the attention." She says she wants to make porn her career. Duke: "What about its implications for your dating life?" Gigi: "I don't want to date. I want to stay single for a long time." When her family finds out about her porn, "They're going to be shocked and surprised, but in the long run, they're going to love me regardless." Gigi has done nine scenes. "It's not as shocking as it sounds. You get very comfortable with your directors." Losing her virginity at 18, she was with only two guys before she entered porn. Gigi says she's not a drama queen. "I walk into places and people say, ohmigosh, she's so real." After a drink or two, Gigi says her true blonde really comes out. "People tend to walk all over you if you have a kind heart. However, if you can stand your ground and be real, they'll come around eventually." I interview Jamie, 19. When she was a little girl, she wanted to be a ballerina. But she never studied dance, only gymnastics. Jamie says she was a bad girl in highschool. "I didn't really go to school. I got into trouble. I got into fights [with girls]." Jamie dropped out of highschool, got her GED, and did a year in college. After thinking about porn as a career for three months, Jamie entered the industry a month ago. She's done 15 scenes. Before porn, she was with five guys. She says she has a boyfriend at home. He just found out she's done porn. They haven't seen each other since. "I've been trying to avoid [the topic] until I get home." Duke: "Are you scared how he might react?" Jamie: "I don't really care." Off camera, Jamie is shy. It's hard for me to get her to talk. She stands 5'3" and weighs a tad over 100 pounds. While she's doing porn, Jamie wants to go to school to become an automechanic. She loves fast cars. She's had four speeding tickets.
World Modeling On Tuesday Pictures snapped before going to lunch at noon. Dakota Dare Dakota Dare Dakota Dakota Rusty Nails Lisa Marie, Jim South Lisa Marie Lisa Marie Gang walk down Van Nuys Blvd Dakota, Jim Sr Jim Sr imitates Michael Jackson's moon walk while Dakota watches with admiration Dakota Dare (Randi Wright's good friend), 20, says she has been with only two men in her life. She's not counting the boys and girls she was with when she was passed out on drugs or alcohol. Dakota entered porn at age 18. She went to Meatholes. The guy paid her to spit in his face. She was so appalled she left the industry for two years. She says she needs to lose 20 pounds. She won't eat anything for lunch. Lisa Marie says she was with Lee, a black agent from Ecstasy Models. Then she returned to the World Modeling fold. Dakota: "He's disgusting. I've met him. Yech." Jim Sr to Lisa Marie: "You know that we love you. But we can't get you to show up." Lisa doesn't deny it. Jim says Lisa only shows up for about half the shoots she's scheduled for. Jim: "If the guy who's with you could beat you into submission..." We all laugh. Lisa Marie wears sunglasses. She has one red eye. Somebody shot in her eye. A work hazard. Jim South Jr and Sr saw Lisa's ex-boyfriend Tommy X the other day. He's working in a grocery store. He's put on weight. Maybe he's not doing the funny stuff. Jim South Sr. looks at Lisa and Tommy as his adopted children. Lisa: "How would you feel if I randomly show up for the casting call?" Jim Jr. yells to his dad: "Jimma Angel. That's the one who was dropped off here all day and was singing and talking to herself and doing drugs in the bathroom. She's in San Diego." Jim Sr. picks up. "There's no reason for any photographer to grab you." It was Hans Rudelstein. He took 30 free pictures of her and then groped her. Jim Sr. "There's no reason for that. He knows better." Jimma wanted to be "Jimma James." She desperately needs work so she can pay her rent. Jim invites her to a casting call Tuesday. I hear the sorry story of Aussie rocker Kalgan Rivers' no-go porn career. He couldn't get it up. He had magazines all over the place. He came in with his personal DVD player and still couldn't get it up. He mailed in some pictures. They were bad. Nobody would hire him. World Modeling's last Australian man was Tony Sexton, who got into a couple of fights and a lot of people found him obnoxious. He called himself the "Aussie Impaler." He would boast about how sweet his bum tasted. Jonathan Morgan from Wicked Pictures is shooting an X-rated comedy and needs 20 people. Summer Haze and Craig Valentine are shooting a swinger tape and need 30 people. Summer Haze and Craig Valentine write:
Jim to Lisa: "If I book you, you need to show up. I love you but I don't believe you." Lisa: "I know." Sophie Dee is a blonde from England. She'd never been with a black girl. In her first few scenes, she did scenes with big black guys. She loved it. Then Jim South booked her with a small Asian guy. She's never forgiven Jim. Sophie told Marcus in the middle of their scene: "I can't feel you." So he pounded her until she could feel him. T.T. Boy told Dakota Dare that he was half-black. He's not. He's half Puerto Rican. Dakota doesn't work with black guys. One of the rare Asian guys in the industry is Vick from Rainbow Productions. Jim South has a couple of 18-year olds working every day -- Veronica Bangg aka Autumn Bliss and Julia Bond (booked through April 16). Autumn has shot about 30 movies since I saw her last. August had a car accident. She had to stay on the set of a Marco Pallotti shoot. By the time she woke up, she couldn't move her head or get out of bed. I'm not sure if they filmed her scenes anyway. "Ladies never move," said the great pornographer and 19th Century British imperialist Lord Curzon. Dakota says she was saving herself until she hooked up with a guy with white pubes when she was 17. A longtime writer on l-keford.com, Chico (about 35yo?) has directed over 50 porn movies. We speak outside Porn Star Karaoke March 29, 2005. He's intoxicated. Duke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?" Chico: "I wanted to be a lawyer." Duke: "What did your family expect of you?" Chico: "To be a doctor or a lawyer. It was a Korean family." Duke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool?" Chico: "I had friends who dicked around. I was drunk constantly." Despite this, he was an excellent student and did a BA (Political Science, graduating in 1991) and MA (Screenwriting) at UCLA. Chico grew up in Manhattan Beach, where there were few Koreans. Duke: "Did your parents know you were getting drunk?" Chico: "I'm sure they find out. I couldn't lie to my parents. They didn't do anything about it." Duke: "Why were you drinking?" Chico: "Because I'm an alcoholic. "I don't do any drugs. I need a vice. Drinking and cigarettes are my vice." Duke: "Why?" Chico: "Can we get away from these highschool questions because it is so far away." Duke: "When you studied screenwriting, who were your influences?" Chico: "Quentin Tarantino, Jean Luc Godard, Harry Reems. I wrote my masters thesis on how Forest Gump (1994) was the greatest martial arts movie I've seen. It had everything from jujitsu to karate to everything you could imagine." Chico has a big martial arts background. "I was one of the jujitsu guys from Gracie's [Academy]. They started in a garage in Redondo Beach about three blocks from where I used to hang out. "I have no stamina now." Duke: "How did you get into the porn industry?" Chico: "While I was at UCLA, I saw that Rob Black was running for mayor [of Los Angeles in 2000]. I decided to call Extreme. I got connected to Kevin Kleinrock. I asked him what Rob's positions were. They had no positions. "I had a meeting. They had no positions. I gave them libertarian positions. I said I'd start a website. It was the first website I created. RobBlackForMayor.com. "One thing that I had going for myself was that I could accrue friends on the internet. I realized that the internet was bigger than video. Five years down the line, the internet and video-on-demand is going to be bigger than the mechanism for distribution of DVDs and VHS [videotapes]." Chico worked at Extreme for eight months on their websites. Duke: "Why did you leave?" Chico: "You can ask them. Let's just say they weren't paying talent well. Tom Byron knows." Duke: "What's your relationship with Rob Black been like since then?" Chico: "Fine. I think he's a phenomenally uncowardly guy. You have to insane or unbelievably heroic to deal with what he had to do." Duke: "Do you think he was looking for a federal obscenity bust?" Chico: "He wanted it. He was asking for it. He wanted to be a martyr." Duke: "Do you think when he got in the middle of it, he changed his mind?" Chico: "When you have all that money coming down the line, you change your mind quick." Duke: "Would you like to be a federal obscenity martyr?" Chico: "No. I don't want any part of that. I don't the kind of pissing s--- that he does." Duke: "Why are you in this industry?" Chico exclaims: "Pussy! "Why do you look at me so straight? You're so straight-edged." Duke: "Why else?" Chico: "It's easy. Dealing with so many retards in the industry, anyone with half a brain, even if they're a drunken fool, it doesn't matter. You can go far." Duke: "Why do you think girls do porn?" Chico: "Because it makes them more money than flipping hamburgers." Duke: "What are your ambitions?" Chico: "I want to start my own internet company. I was one of the guys who started Meatholes, Midnight Prowl. I think those are the most phenomenal sites out there. I don't know how long I'll be in this industry for." Duke: "Do you have more friends inside or outside of the industry?" Chico: "Both. If you have more friends than the fingers on your hand, you have way too many friends. That's my philosophy. It's a Korean philosophy. Your family comes first. The people who pay you come second. Your friends come third. No matter what." Duke: "Do your parents know you're in porn?" Chico: "They have no clue. They think I'm a computer nerd. And guess what? If you call them up, they won't understand a single thing you say." Duke: "I would never do that." Chico: "That's because you're sexy." Duke: "How would they react if they found out?" Chico: "First, I'd have to visit my mom in the hospital. She'd have a heart attack. Second, before I killed myself, I'd end up killing you. Other than that, it's no big deal." Duke: "Have you dated many girls in porn?" Chico: "I've f---ed many girls [20?] in the industry. I haven't dated many." Duke: "How do women you date outside the industry relate to you working in the industry?" Chico: "I don't relate to them at all. I can't. Once you get into porn, you can't date civilians. How are you going to bring it up? Oh, I shoot double-anals for a living. Or, I shoot girls taking 15-loads on their face for a living." Duke: "Do you date girls within the industry or do you just have sex with them?" Chico: "I'm asexual." Duke: "What about having a relationship?" Chico: "If I have a relationship, it will be because I was molested in the middle of the night in a drunken stupor." Duke: "Do you want to get married and have kids one day?" Chico: "I do. My parents want grandkids." Duke: "When do you think you will do something about that?" Chico: "As soon as I find the perfect person?" Duke: "Is it important to you to marry an Asian?" Chico: "My parents would find that important but I don't at all." Duke: "What do you love and hate about the industry?" Chico: "I don't take it seriously. The industry is humorous. The characters in it make the industry. "What I love about the industry is the amount of freedom I have to do what I want creatively. I never do anything per se. I go on the set and decide to make stuff up. That's the only thing I love about the industry." Duke: "Do you think any of your work counts as art?" Chico: "No. I'm a cameraman. Maybe some of the storylines I create. I doubt it. My major goal is to make porn for people to stroke to." Duke: "How much have you worked on Hollywood scripts since you've been in porn?" Chico: "Very little." Duke: "Do you think you have left an important part of yourself die?" Chico: "No. Mainstream, porn, internet. It's all about relationships. In porn, if you step in and you have half-a-brain, you're in. On the other side, where everyone has a high IQ, you step in and you're not halfway through." Duke: "Is it important to you to create a lasting work of art?" Chico: "No. As long as people like my work, I'm cool. I have no ego about this kind of crap." Duke: "How has your time in the industry affected you?" Chico: "It's made me asexual. I like girls now that are not naked. When I go into my office, I see five or six naked ladies a day. "About two weeks ago, a girl came by. She wanted to f---. I said, listen girl. I'm asexual. I don't give a f---. "She got totally naked. I said, you know what would make you really sexy? If you wore a parka." Duke: "How would the people who know you best describe you?" Chico: "As a psychopath drunk who's even-leveled and straight-edged." Didn't he just complain that I was too straight-edged? Chico: "I've always been a straight shooter. "I don't let a lot of people into my circle. Once you're in, you're in, and once you're out, you're always out." Duke: "How do you decide what's right and wrong?" Chico: "From my [Buddhist] religion." Duke: "What are some of its principle tenants that are different from the way ordinary American people live?" Chico: "You don't hurt people intentionally. You don't over-react. You don't do anything that is going to undermine another person's career. You don't take someone else's money. That's about it." Duke: "What would Buddhism say about your drinking?" Chico: "Buddhism would probably react negatively. I'm not a hardcore Buddhist." Duke: "What has surprised you in the industry?" Chico: "More girls who come in who do anal. If I see a girl who is half-assed, I will not shoot her unless she does anal."
