11/17/05

I experimented with different white balance setting instead of automatic. I judge this experiment a noble failure.

Kyle, 24, did his first scenes in San Francisco through Lexi Love. He followed her down to LA and they share an apartment.

Is Lexi your girlfriend?

"We're more friends than anything. We've had our moments."

Kyle has done about 40 scenes. He's saving money for school (Globe University) to study audio engineering and psycho-acoustics, "a form of a holistic healing through sound. I'm big into dance music. I want to make some good porn music."

"I've been on my own since I was 17 [and worked a variety of jobs including selling weed]. I'm a hustler. This is just another chapter."

Leah Luv says she started smoking at age eight and that has ruined her dream of becoming a singer. We run through a medley of classic songs such as Yellow Submarine and the works of Kelly Clarkson.

Ashley Steel, 19, has done about 20 scenes, girl-girl only, since she entered porn in April.

Her website is SendAshleyToCollege.com: (FAQ)

I will do whatever it takes to pay for my college tuition.

Its kind of too bad I’m not a deadbeat; then the government would pay for my college.

My parents are separated and have been since I was two. My dad drives a truck and my mom has been unemployed most of her life and on welfare; as you can imagine, I am unable to seek assistance from my family. In fact I will be the first in my family to receive a Bachelor’s Degree and actually believe I was the only one thus far to have an Associates Degree. I have been on my own since I was 15 years old and times have been tough.

I WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! You see, for me I want to make a difference in peoples lives. I am majoring in psychology and am in pursuit of my PhD. I want to be a doctor and conduct research and studies that will help further our knowledge about the human mind and psyche.

Paul Provenza's girlfriend Kat shoots behind-the-scenes footage. She says the best way to keep her camera steady is to rest it on her pubic bone.

Kat says she wants to make "quality porn."

Octavio Arizala and I immediately begin to make fun of her.

"Everybody says they want to make quality porn while they shoot the same thing that was shot at the same location the day before," he says.

Leah Luv, 21, says she gave birth to her son three years ago across the street (at the California Hospital Medical Center (CHW), we're on Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles). She says her need for money as a single mom led her into a life of pornography.

As a kid, Leah (who's done about 200 scenes) wanted to become a veterinarian.

What happened to that dream? "I couldn't afford to go to school."

How did you come up with SweetLeahLuv.com? "Because somebody stole leahluv.com and everybody thinks I'm so sweet."

How has porn affected you? "It's opened up my eyes to a new world."

In a good way? "In a good way and a bad way."

Leah says she's not going to make porn her career.

What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool? "I didn't. The few people I did hang out with, we all smoked weed.

"I was a straight-A student. I had a great attendance record."

Kat: "Will you let your kid know when he turns 18?"

Leah: "I'm sure he'll know way before he turns 18. He's a boy. Boys watch porn. I'm a porn star."

Are you going to be willing to pay for his therapy? "That's a funny one. I will. I'm a smart ho. I've saved my money."

What are you doing when you're not being a mom and not being a porn star? "Sleep and eat. That's my life -- being a mom and being a porn star.

"I'm starting at UCLA in March. I'm studying Psychology.

"My biggest goal in life is to be the best mom I can be and always be open and honest with my son and let him know that no matter what decisions he makes, he will always have my support."

What if he wants to work in pornography?

"Whatever he wants to do."

Will you help him get in the business?

"No. I won't help my son ruin his life. It's too much of a risk. I got into it because I had to, not because I wanted to f---. I did it to take care of my family. I knew that working at McDonalds or Target wasn't going to do what I needed to do for my son.

"I'm glad I got into porn. I have a beautiful car. I have a beautiful home. I've been able to put a lot of money away for my son's future."

How has your family reacted? "My dad's very supportive. He understands that what I did was for my child. He quit watching porn. So did my uncle and my brother and their friends. They leave my house when they hear the phone start ringing.

"I have a few friends in porn. They're in porn, not of porn. And none of them know my kid.

"I didn't do any porn until my son was four months old. That's when I realized that life was too hard on a minimum-wage job. I was living in someone else's house. They kept threatening to kick me out."

What kind of woman chooses this industry? "I don't know. I don't know why someone would do that to themself. I've heard young kids, 14, 15, say, 'I want to be a Playboy Bunny.' Why? Why don't you want to be the next Sandra Bullock or Angelina Jolie? Angelina Jolie is someone to look up to. She's a great role model and a great mother."

Do you think you're a great role model for 14-year old girls? "No."

Leah's had braces for five years and should get them off in another year.

"I hate men," says Leah, "because every one I dated f---ed me over."

Benny Profane, 32, has been in porn for 18-months (Profanepirate.com). He spends his own money to make alt-porn movies (three so far). He also works as talent (about 20 scenes).

Benny lives near a church, where they have a lot of choir practice over the weekend. One day he was shooting a solo-girl masturbation, which was being drowned out by the choir. The girl leapt up and yelled, "F--- you. I work for Satan." Things got quiet after that.

Today's movie is called, Atomic Vixens Escape From The Valley Of The Sluts.

Benny: "If it really was a Valley of the Sluts, why would you want to escape from it?"

Octavia says: "It could be worse. I could be picking cherries."

Ron Royster says Jane Wiedland of the Go-Gos asked him for his autograph. She watches a lot of porn.

Ron says Mike South (the two Atlanta pornographers) verbally assaulted him when they first met. "I'm a multiple AVN-award winner," said Mike.

"We went to Porn Star Karaoke together and bonded," says Royster.

Gram Ponante instructs Lacie Heart and Ashley Steel on how to say, "Go down on me!" in Latin.

Leah Luv says ICPorn did bad by her. They had her drive over an hour to the set and then decided they wouldn't shoot her because they'd shot her before. They couldn't be bothered to consult their database in advance. And they wouldn't pay her a kill fee.

Royster plays ballads by Nancy Sinatra and one of the Monkees as the crew moves the lights around for the next scene.

I'm recovering from a cold. I've been on set for six hours, since noon. Every hour I've had to check on my car and move it if necessary to avoid a parking ticket.

In her scene yesterday, Mika Tan commanded her partner to say, "F--- you, you f---ing gook."

I leave at 7pm and and then leave my home at 8:40pm for the XBiz Awards at the Key Club on Sunset Blvd.

Rob Spallone leaves me this message: "Craig Valentine says Playboy keeps calling him. They want the model releases. It turns out that Ashley Blue's boyfriend works for Playboy. He's calling for the model releases. They get no model releases. Their little friend Ashley cost them a few dollars. Too bad. I spoke to Jeff Mike too a few times. Sorry little Ashley."
