Tabetha Yang Calls

I got a surprising phone call from talent manager Tabetha Yang (Ron@XXXEZone.com) at 5PM.

Luke: "What happened to you?"

Tabetha: "I don't know. I don't remember a lot. "

Tabetha speaks slowly and sounds confused and very sick. She breaks my heart because she sounded so vibrant and healthy just a few weeks ago.

Tabetha: "But I am reading your stories today and Kendra is on there. Her tour dates. But with Nici. Shoot, Nici's a hooker. Kendra's not a hooker. I read that and I didn't think that was right. Why is she doing that?"

Luke: "She did the Bunny Ranch. Kendra knows Nici and they've got some deal... How are you feeling?"

Tabetha: "I feel ok. I don't remember a lot. This is the first time that I've looked at my computer. Ron's not here right now. But there are so many messages and stuff. I'm trying to remember what I do. And I remember talking to you before sometimes. And reading your story. But I remember Kendra and I didn't remember her doing bad things."

Luke: "Do you have anyone there to look after you? Ron's gone."

Tabetha: "No one's here right now but he'll be back later. He went to get me some juice and icecream."

Luke: "What's the prognosis for you?"

Tabetha: "They don't know. They took a lot of brain tests. So I don't know. I have to make appointments for more tests this week with some other people. Some specialists. I feel ok. I just have bad headaches sometimes."

Luke: "What knocked you down?"

Tabetha: "I don't remember. I remember waking up in the hospital. And I didn't remember anybody or myself for a long time. After a couple of days, I could remember Ron [Berry, Tabetha's business partner]. And the little people. My kids. A lady came to stay. She says she's my mom. But it upsets me to see Kendra there [on LF.com]... That's the reason I called. I thought it was a mistake."

Luke: "My site is not a good site to read when you are not feeling good."

Tabetha: "Well, Ron said that I used to help people. I don't remember. I have lots of letters, young girls and pictures, and all of them saying 'Help me' and I don't know what I used to do. And Ron said these were some of the places I used to work on. Plus it was written about me being sick. So I was just reading and I remember Kendra. And Kendra's a good girl. She's very like a little kid. So I didn't want anyone to say anything bad about her..."

Luke: "Your mother is there?"

Tabetha: "She left today on the airplane because she said I was better. I should work or something... I feel like I should be busy but I don't know what I am supposed to be busy doing."

Luke: "You should talk to Ron. He would know better than I. But I don't think you should be on these web sites or answering email. You're just not well yet."

Tabetha: "I was gonna work. And when Ron comes back, he's going to be angry that I am in the office. But I wanted to just read but it made me angry to see Kendra there. I don't like when people talk bad about my friends..."

Luke: "I want you to take care of yourself right now. These web sites aren't healthy places for you or anyone."

Tabetha: "I remember yelling that I was going to quit before I got sick. I remember being angry with someone but I can't remember why. I found your phone number, so I called when I saw Kendra..."

Bad Kitty writes Luke: "I think you are sick to print that phone call with Tabetha, if it is real. The condition of her health is a personal issue, and you sharing it with the world is sick. If she did call you, you obviously noticed she was not coherent, HOW COULD YOU PRINT THAT? You are obviously a fake at having any sort of conscience. You suck."

Luke replies: You have a point. Yet her business partner Ron Berry made his own point over the past week to write to sites like mine to tell people of Tabetha's travails and to ask my people, including my readers, to pray for her. Then when Tabetha came home from the hospital, Ron sent out a note to say that she was much better.

So I think they (Ron and Tabetha) would react kindly to my writings. If the situation were reversed, I would like people to know what I am dealing with. I would like people to pray for me and help me and write in with their concerns. People handle these matters differently. Some people, like you, like to keep it quiet. Others express.

I did not print everything Tabetha told me. I know I often give that feel on my site, but I hold back plenty of stuff as too personal for public consumption.

Heather Barron writes: I'm confused. Does Tabatha Yang have amnesia, a bad cold or is did she OD on porno management? Or is this a publicity stunt?

Luke says: Tabetha has definitely been in the hospital. I don't know much else.

Listen to Tabetha's previous interviews here:

Luke F-rd Live 9/26/00 Rob Spallone, James DiGiorgio, Tabetha, Kevin and Darren Blatt

Luke F-rd Live 1/16/01 Show livens up 20 minutes in. First hour - Samantha Lewish and Adella O'Neal from Digital Playground. Then manager Tabetha Yang. Then Cindy Nine from HeadWestpro.com.

Our next guest is Tabetha Yang (tabetha@tymanagement.com).

Jim: "I met her in Vegas. She's a manager, a mother, a loving wife, and very business savvy."

Luke: Is she hot looking?

Jim: Yeah. Blonde.

Luke: I thought she was asian.

Tabetha: Don't think Luke.

From Las Vegas, Tabetha began in the sex biz as a stripper. Then she moved into the administrative side of porn, because there's more money there.

Tabetha: I work with certain people. I signed Adeja and Tyler Wood. I look at the girls as individuals and they tell me what they want to accomplish in their entertainment career. I provide them with business management of their career. I help them with publicity, scheduling and time management.

Luke: Are some of these porn girls you deal with, difficult?

Jim: They're porn girls, what do you think?

Tabetha: I don't see any connection. I also manage four people who've never done adult work. They're regular SAG [Screen Actors Guild] actors.

Jim: And they're just as bad.

Tabetha: No, no.

Jim: Because everything is all about them. Everything is self serving, self focused, all about them. You have to have some ego to get in front of the camera. They are the thing they selling.

Tabetha: Right. They are in it for themselves.

Luke: I want to be an actor so that I can teach morality to the world.

Tabetha: Don't you have to live morality first Luke? If I could teach morality, I would give it up in a hurry because noone is interested in learning it. That's why people enjoy what we offer in the entertainment industry because everyone wants to be that closet porner.

Luke: When you mix socially, do you mention that you work in the adult industry?

Tabetha: No, I avoid mentioning it if possible. I tell them I am a talent manager.

Luke: Do you refer any of the girls that you manage to the Bunny Ranch?

Tabetha: Absolutely not.

Jim: Luke, did you just ask Tabetha if she was a pimp?

Tabetha: Dammit, it's madam people.

Jim: Do you drop them off on the street corners they work on in the evening? Luke's always busting my chops because I am not always so sensitive when I talk to the guests.

Tabetha: I will only help people with legitimate entertainment oriented goals and I don't think that working at the Bunny Ranch helps your career. It's one thing to do adult entertainment as an entertainer, but to be a prostitute is a whole other story.

Jim: I don't think the Torah distinguishes between the two [pornography and prostitution]. The Torah condemns both acts.

Luke: The Torah condemns all forms of sex outside of heterosexual marriage.

Tabetha: I hear that Jewish people are very sexual.

Jim: That's because they're all sinners.

Tabetha: Luke, how can you keep putting yourself in the line of criticism for hypocrisy?

Jim: Because he's a martyr. It's Luke H. Christ. He sees himself that way.

Luke: I have a messiah complex. I feel like I am suffering for the sins of the world.

Jim: He prays every night that a bunch of obsessed porno fans will break into his little hovel, take him outside, and nail him to a cross.

Luke: Tabetha, I've got some psychological issues that I'm working out through my website.

Jim: Psychological issues? That's a nice way to put it. He is completely insane. People don't realize it. Luke tomorrow could give up being a Jew and become a serial murderer.

Tabetha: Why would you pick pornography to work out your issues?

Jim: A few weeks ago on the show, I took Luke to places that all his money in therapy have never taken him. He won't let his therapist talk about his father. I got into that...and he felt better after the show.

Tabetha: They say there's honor among thieves. Maybe there's honor among porners.

Jim: Maybe. I haven't seen much honor in this business.

Luke: Tabetha, how long did it take you reading my site to figure out what was going on?

Jim: Because of your disjointed prose?

Luke: Yeah.

Tabetha: I noticed that the subjects would change a lot.

Jim: Like in mid sentence.

Tabetha: I never got that Australian Mafia thing.

Jim: That's because there is no Australian Mafia.

Tabetha: Well, even if there was, I know nothing. I saw nothing.

Luke: Why are you people afraid to speak out against the Australian Porn Mafia?

Jim: Luke, I did business with those guys. I shot a movie for them. PeePee Girls.

Luke: He's not part of the Australian porn mafia.

Jim: He owns a bunch of strip clubs. They had a big war going on. He told me one day that they killed his doorman. They came by and started shooting... Are there two Australian Porn Mafias?

Tabetha: Do you know where snuff films come from?

Jim: They come from Brazil.

Luke: What's the Aussie's name?

Jim: I won't say because I am still doing business with him. You're always trying to take money out of my pocket. You're always wanting me to turn on the people who actually pay me. Why don't you ask me to say some s--- about people who owe me money, who have f---ed me? I'll go after them. But you never bring them up. He just wants to screw me over. His goal in life is to make me miserable.

Tabetha: Misery loves company.

Jim: And there's noone more miserable than Luke. Trust me. Ask his therapist. He is is MISERY.

Tabetha: Luke's got us all fooled. He plays this little Charley Brown attitude and then goes home and laughs his ass off.

Jim: Luke goes home, goes into depression and sleeps for three days.

Tabetha comes from a Mormon background.

Tabetha: "I was a Latter Day Saint. Now I'm pagan."

Luke: "Do you believe in God?"

Tabetha: "I believe in many gods."

Luke: "Tabetha, how do you figure out right and wrong?"

Tabetha: "Let your conscience be your guide. You can call it the Holy Ghost, or angels or yourself... I listen to myself and if something tells me inside that I am doing the wrong thing, I am going to steer away from it. And if it tells me it is the right thing, I am going to go for it. I make mistakes sometimes because I don't listen to myself. Even Jesus said, you can do all the things that I have done and even greater."

[Luke wonders where Jesus said that.]

Jim: "How do you know he said that?

"Luke, I read a critical article about the porn industry in the latest issue of Talk magazine. You think Wicked expected good stuff to be said about them when they joined in on that?"

Luke: "Tabetha, how do you like dealing with backbiting?"

Tabetha: "It makes me cry. It hurts my feelings. A previous client, who I will not name because there are legal battles going on, did that to me. I trusted her. And I brought her in my home."

Jim: "Was she a porn girl?"

Tabetha: "Oh yeah."

Jim: "And you trusted her?"

Tabetha: "Yeah."

Jim: "Enough said."

Tabetha: "I believe you have to have faith in people."

Jim: "Not those people."

Tabetha: "She totally stuck it to me good. And now she's continually lying behind my back to people I work with...

"I was her one way to stay alive and move forward with her career and to reach the goals she wanted... It was like dealing with a spoiled 16-year old and I can't take it anymore. So I put my foot down about it and she freaked out..."

Jim: "I've been in this business seven years and I've cried all my tears out. I have none left. I have no tears left to weep because that's what they've done to me. They've taken me like a wet rag and rung all the tears out of me."

Tabetha: "When people come to me and say, please don't listen to rumors. Just talk to me. And I do. I talk to them as an individual and I try to judge them on their own basis. And that's how I treat them - how they treat me."

Cheyenne Silver Working For Nicis Girls?

Chris writes: Luke, Is it true that Cheyenne Silver is hooking for Nici's Girls? Is this girl just a little stupid or what? I didn't think Vivid girls did prostitution on the side. Can you give some details, I'm sure everyone would love to know. I'm sure the male talent would like to know if she's doing some John without an HIV test, not to mention all the other crap that comes along with being a hooker. What does Nici have to say about it, if anything? f---IN A does she even have a brain?

Luke says: It's definitely true that she's worked escort for months.

Who's Steven Donald Weiner?

I hear that Stephen Michael Cohen's hiding out in Mexico with another pornographer who's got a warrant out for his arrest - Donald Wiener. I've never heard of Wiener. Who is he?

I found this news release, dated July 17, 2000, from the US District Attorney, Southern California division:

United States Attorney Gregory A. Vega announced that U.S. District Court Judge Marilyn Huff today sentenced Steven Donald Wiener, the owner of Mercury Books, Inc., to 15 months imprisonment, a three-year term of supervised release and a fine of $4,000 dollars.

On March 30, 2000, Mr. Wiener entered a plea of guilty to a one count information charging him with evading in excess of $181,570 in 1994 federal corporate income taxes owed by Mr. Wiener's corporation, Mercury Books, Inc.

According to the plea agreement and the representations made in open court, Mr. Wiener owns and operates numerous adult-oriented bookstores, both in San Diego, California, and elsewhere throughout the United States. In order to prevent the Internal Revenue Service from making an accurate audit and assessment of his San Diego businesses gross receipts, Mr. Wiener caused the records of sales and receipts to be destroyed. Prior to the sentencing hearing, Mr. Wiener tendered a cashier's check for $850,000 made payable to the Department of the Treasury for payment toward income taxes, interest and civil penalties due.

As part of the term of supervised release, Judge Huff ordered Mr. Wiener to cooperate with the Internal Revenue Service in the assessment and collection of his and his businesses' federal tax obligations. Mr. Wiener was also ordered not to seek a refund of the $850,000 paid to the Treasury Department until his civil taxes are resolved. The plea agreement entered into between the Government and Mr. Wiener states that Mercury Books, Inc.'s 1994 federal income tax return omitted in excess of $534,029 in gross receipts, resulting in an understatement of federal income tax in the approximate amount of $181,980. Mr. Wiener similarly understated gross receipts for Mercury Books' 1995 federal income tax return, and for the 1994 and 1995 federal income tax returns from other adult-oriented businesses owned by Mr. Wiener, causing a total understatement of gross receipts in the approximate amount of $1,326,913. The aggregate effect of Mr. Wiener's understatement of gross receipts on his various businesses' tax returns for 1994 and 1995 resulted in an additional tax due and owing in excess of $395,122.

From the San Diego Union Tribune, February 25, 1992:

Culminating a seven-month investigation, state, federal and county authorities yesterday raided five adult entertainment stores owned by Steven and Donald Wiener , searching for illegal pornographic material possibly involving children and torture.

No arrests were made and none are expected until investigators examine and document the hundreds of seized videotapes and magazines, said sheriff's spokesman Larry Van Dusen.

Investigators are looking for any videotapes that violate state obscenity laws, said Van Dusen, who added that many may have been brought into the United States illegally and then distributed through the raided stores. At the Fantasyland Adult Bookstore in Spring Valley, Steven Wiener refused comment shortly after the search warrant was served at 9:30 a.m. Wiener, who owns the store with his father, Donald, and co-owner Robert Smith, then ordered all media to leave while undercover investigators searched the business.

Van Dusen said the Sheriff's Department began its investigation in August 1991 after vice investigators developed information that illegal material possibly involving torture and child pornography was being sold to customers from the Wieners' five stores throughout the county.

Officials from the state Department of Justice, the Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Customs and the San Diego Police Department joined simultaneous searches at Fantasyland and at Chuck's Books in National City, Lemon Grove Video in Lemon Grove and two Mercury Bookstores in San Diego. Sheriff's deputies also searched a public storage facility in Spring Valley and the homes of the owners in San Diego, La Mesa and Bonita.

Chuck's Books reopened last summer after being closed 1 1/2 years. A federal court had ruled that the store was a public nuisance and violated a city ordinance regulating where adult establishments can be located. However, a court reversed the decision, ruling that the city's ordinance was unconstitutional because it made it virtually impossible for the store to relocate elsewhere in the city. The city has appealed the decision to the state Supreme Court.

Since the Fantasyland store opened in July 1990, Wiener has faced stiff opposition from Spring Valley residents and county officials.

San Diego Union-Tribune July 11, 1996

San Diego vice detectives said they seized computers containing customer records and child pornography and other suspected obscene materials yesterday from three erotic-book stores in San Diego and Spring Valley. Teams of detectives served search warrants at Fantasyland on Sweetwater Road in Spring Valley and at Mercury Books stores on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard and Balboa Avenue, Lt. Jim Duncan said. Authorities also searched the home of Fantasyland owner Steven Wiener of Chula Vista. Duncan said he hoped that the records would reveal the extent to which stores controlled by the Wiener family, which has a long embattled history in the pornography business, were distributing illegal materials. "The computer equipment is what we were after," Duncan said. "We know they were selling material that we consider obscene. We're interested in finding out what their distribution was."

After receiving information from Los Angeles police, detectives went to the three stores and bought books and magazines involving child pornography and scatological fetishes, which are considered obscene. The illegal materials were produced in Europe, primarily in Germany and Denmark, Duncan said. Detectives were helped by a doctor who can estimate a person's age from looking at a picture, Duncan said. The doctor viewed some of the materials to help police determine whether the models were children or youthful-looking adults.

Yesterday's action was another skirmish in a long-running battle that state and local officials have fought against Steven Wiener and his father, Donald, over their pornography enterprise, which includes a store in Lemon Grove.

San Diego Union-Tribune November 26, 2000

An operator of several adults-only shops who is serving time for tax evasion has won a legal victory against a rival business he is trying to shut down. A state appeals court ruled that the Adult Emporium, a Barrio Logan adult video and book store, is operating illegally and must close.

The ruling marks a victory for Steve Wiener, a competitor and the operator of several San Diego adults-only shops and numerous others nationwide.

Wiener filed suit charging the Barrio Logan shop with violating a city ordinance forbidding an adult shop within 1,000 feet of a residential zone. Although Wiener doesn't live or operate a store in the vicinity, his attorney says Wiener sued to protect his business interests.

Adult Emporium owners George Isbell Jr. and [Robert] Clark said they have petitioned the appeals court for a rehearing. In addition to books and videos, their store sells sex toys and a variety of other products and has several closed-door video booths.

Clark, 54, who used to own the Foxy Theatre, a former adult-movie house in the Gaslamp District, said he used to be a general manager for Wiener but was fired in a business dispute.

He said he provided the Internal Revenue Service with "five bankers' boxes worth of records" in its investigation of Wiener and has been told he is entitled to a reward because of his cooperation.

Most recently, Wiener has sued the county in federal court over the operation of the Fantasyland store, alleging that a new county law governing adult entertainment is exclusionary by its location restrictions and therefore unconstitutional.

Wiener, of Chula Vista, was sentenced July 17 after pleading guilty to evading more than $181,570 in taxes in connection with Mercury Books, a San Diego business, O'Reilly said.

Neither Wiener nor his father, Donald Wiener , who built the family's adults-only empire, returned phone messages left with their attorney seeking comment.

Donald Clark, the Wieners' attorney, said any ill feeling between the two parties "has nothing to do with the lawsuit" and that Steve Wiener felt compelled to sue because the Barrio Logan store was taking business away from him while operating illegally.

Pad Up, Your Next Drop

Dave writes from Australia: So I guess you will understand this joke about OJ Simpson: What would you get if Dan Marino killed three people??? ... a NEEEW NFL record!!!

It's no surprise that NFL and the holy game have a place in your heart. That's plainly borne out on your site. I've not tho' been able to figure out how long it is since you actually put on the pads and faced up. That's what I mean by 'having a sport' and that's the Aussie way - not the American concept of being a sports bar voyeur.

Nodding and chanting at the Wailing Wall is a religious experience that's been recommended, but I propose you seek new religious experiences. Hook up with a bunch of blue collar guys and sample what it's like to team against a different opposition every week. Seek that feeling of being called up to bat with a sense of uncertainty about how the pitch will play between now and sundown. I hope you've known it at least once before.

Real sport is a lesson that the only worthwhile victory is a moral victory, but watching too much porno just feeds you a lie that you'll get the girl without striking out first. Any of these porners got a sport, d'you think?

In Cricket,
Fraser Gorton

Luke replies: I don't really have a sport. I love to play with a bat and a ball with my brother in his backyard in australia... I don't play sport any more.. I have osteoperosis, brittle bones, and have to be very careful... I have never padded up properly to play cricket in my life, just playground stuff. i was an average sportsman in my youth...played soccer, basketball, tennis, jogging, golf... Some porners probably do have a sport... I don't watch porno. I don't watch porno movies. I don't review porno movies. I write about the human angle, and abou the business side.

Waugh goes after Ganguly

Steve Waugh [Australia's cricket captain] has challenged [India's cricket captain] Sourav Ganguly to live up to his pre-tour bravado as Australia today strive to keep the Indian captain nailed to the canvas.

Ganguly, short of match practice after failing twice in the first Test, has arranged to play for the Indian Board XI today against an Australian side resting strike bowlers... Before Australia left home, Waugh and his team-mates were irritated by Ganguly's statement that Australia has not beaten anyone of substance in a streak which now extends to 16 matches.

"He made a few statements at the start of the tour," Waugh said. "Now he has to back them up. That will put more pressure on him as well.

"If he fails here, he is going to be under enormous pressure going into the Test match."

Though Australia will field its second string attack, Waugh is conscious of the need to try and keep Ganguly in the doldrums. Clearly there is little affection between the two skippers which contrasts to the mutual respect maintained between Waugh and West Indian Jimmy Adams earlier in the summer.

Rob Black Runs For Mayor

Volt writes: Luke, here's the link to Rob Black's official web page regarding his mayoral campaign. It's clear from the site that Rob is very serious about his candidacy and has researched the issues. http://www.geocities.com/mayorblack

Rob Black has been a resident of Northridge since 1995. An active proponent of First Amendment Rights, Rob has been actively involved in the Valley's entertainment industry employing hundreds of fellow Angelenos in all aspects of mature entertainmnent. On November of 2000, Rob Black announced his candidacy for Mayor of Los Angeles immediately striking fear amongst the power elite of Los Angeles. His pragmatic views about city government, his outspoken criticism regarding the size and incompetence of a bloated city bureaucracy, and his desire to downsize the city government in order for local neighborhoods to take local control over their schools, their city government, and their law enforcement was immediately branded as "radical". Nothing could be further from the truth.

Rob Black is an entrepreneur who has spent a large portion of his time and money focusing on the creation of jobs. A successful leader and businessman, Black has recently directed his efforts on the quality of life of Angelenos. An activist of smaller, more efficient government, Black advocates the secession of the San Fernando Valley, the breakup of the LAUSD, the adoption of new environmental policies to promote a cleaner Los Angeles, and the complete overhaul of the LAPD. In addition, Rob Black advocates a pro-business policy for Los Angeles to attract new industries, particularly those involved in technology. By looking towards the future, Black believes that Los Angeles can be at the forefront of this new information economy. To be pro-business, Rob Black believes that Los Angeles has to be the cleanest, safest, leanest and healthiest large city in the United States.

Above all, Rob Black is an innovator, constantly seeking methods to improve and enhance the quality of life in Los Angeles. He firmly advocates less paperwork, more technological enhancements and newer, younger management so the LAPD will spend less time pushing paper and more time on the streets fighting violent crime. In addition, as a businessman who oversees dozens of employees, Black stresses the importance of accountability in all levels of his entertainment empire. An individual who does not perform in an ethical and efficient manner will be immediately fired and a more qualified person will be hired. However, an employee that continues to show exemplary work and strives towards excellence will be afforded more responsibilities and accolades. Black hopes to carry his business ideology to the massive bureacracy that exists in Los Angeles by streamlining the infrastructure, eliminating unnecessary agencies, and stressing the importance of accountability in each administrator's position.

Rob Black was born in New York City. He was raised in a traditional family that stressed family values but also ensured that Rob would grow up with a relentless pursuit towards excellence and an unrepentant desire for achievement no matter what his goals were. Following his graduation from High School, Black immediately pursued his lifelong dream to create and direct movies specifically intended to elevate the mind and encourage discourse. His movies have gained critical accolades from the adult entertainment industry for their dark subject matter and their depiction of those Americans who are often ignored. His relocation to California proved the strength of his vision and currently Rob Black presides over an entertainment empire encompassing Extreme Professional Wrestling and his production company, Extreme Associates. By utilizing the latest technologies and marketing techniques, Rob Black has proved once and for all that he is prepared to face and succeed in the future.

Rob Black is currently engaged to Lizzy Borden. They live quietly in the San Fernando Valley and have two dogs and three cats.

Stolen Images

Margo Miller writes: "My husband Earl Miller has of course over the years had the pleasure to shoot most if not all of the top performers in the industry. I have no idea nor is it any of our business what these girls do in their private lives, but I do have my own theory as to why so many of these girls get labeled falsely as escorts. To prove my theory out I went directly from your site to Worldwide Escorts and of course found an image stolen from us and used on one of their four banners. This two/girl image has been registered and copyrighted along with the rest of our library. This is how the FALSE advertising begins. Earl does not now nor has he ever sold any of his library to sex ads or escort services in print or on the web. This was a choice made out of respect for the women he shoots.

"I found it in their banner farm area. So God only knows how many sites its on. If I had more time I'm sure if I looked further at these types of sites I'd find more stolen images but right now I've actually got some real work to do rather than sniffing, excuse me I mean sifting through all of these sites other crappy photos. That's usally why it's so easy to spot Earl's work so quickly. The quality is so different. But they love to steal our pictures for banners."

Porn Star Denies Escorting

I got an exasperated phone call from a porn star this afternoon. She felt annoyed that I had linked her on this site to prostitution work. She didn't want to be quoted, so I will call her Denise.

That Denise is the name of a girl I loved in my teens is immaterial.

Denise: "Luke, what are you doing to me? Is this big news? I thought we had been over this 500 times."

Luke: "I thought you told me you didn't do it?"

Denise: "I just woke up and I had gotten 500 million zillion frickin' phone calls... Do you know what Luke is saying about you? Yeah, it's real funny.

"You're always trying to start trouble for Denise..."

Luke: "I'm just reporting the news. Here, let me read to you from BigDoggie.net."

Denise: "What's that?"

Luke: "It's an escort review site."

Denise: "Ok, let me check this out. I'm an investigator now."

Luke: "Your madam got all mad at me. Why did you email Denise if she worked with me? Didn't you ask her that before? Haven't we been over this five times."

Denise: "There you go. Exactly."

Luke: "Because Denise told me that she wasn't."

Denise: "Luke, let me just explain this to you one more time since you obviously didn't get it the first time. I have never in my life taken any kind of escort booking. Ok? I've told you ten times already."

Luke: "Wait, but here you are advertised as available for hire."

Denise: "I didn't post that."

Luke: "Yeah, but an agency posts about you on your behalf. Are you doing escort work or not?"

Denise: "Give me a break, Luke. I never answer it because I've been over it 500 times with you. I answer you and then you put it back up that I am escorting. By this point, I don't really give a s---. You can post whatever you want. Because it doesn't matter to me. I mean, it does matter to me. But whatever. Every time that I answer, it goes back up anyway.

"I don't have anything girls who do escort. That's there decision. I am not opposed to it. But I have never taken a booking from anybody."

Luke: "And you don't plan to in the next six weeks?"

Denise: "And if I did, that would be my choice. I may or I may not... But at this point, I don't have any plans to."

Luke: "Then why are you publicly advertised as available?"

Denise: "Luke, I have been over this with you 500 times."

Luke: "I think you've told me that you are not totally closed to the possibility of escorting. It depends on how much money you can make... So this is a way of testing the waters and see how much money you can get for your services?"

Denise: "This is very true. But, the bottom line is that I am not an escort. I've never been an escort. I have talked to the agency about doing things with them. To me, it is ridiculous that I have to keep defending myself."

Luke: "That's because you're publically advertised as available."

Denise: "Look, as a favor to me, if you're going to post that I am available, just leave it. I don't want it to be a big issue. I don't want you to say that I called you and had a big argument with you over it. If I reply, then it is just a bigger f---ing issue. And if I don't reply, it just sits there. I don't know, Luke, I don't want it to be a big issue. To me, it is nobody's business if I am or am not escorting."

Rumdar writes: How many months have you been with us Mr. Jones? Evidently not long enough to know that subtlety is rarely an option in the l-keford.com play book. Mostly it is about saturation bombing.

Bob Jones writes: That's probably true. But I took Luke's message the other day as sincere, and heartfelt. I like and respect Luke a lot. I think (maybe this is wrong) that he wants us to tell him when he's doing the things he doesn't want to be doing. If you want me to stop Luke, tell me. I just think that 1) He's got a big audience; 2) he's got a line into a fascinating industry; 3) he's a bright guy; and therefore conclude that 4) he can be a terrific journalist and be sucessful at this if he decides to be.

Porn Stars Abandon Prostitution Because Of l-keford.com

I've heard and seen reports that a dozen or more porn stars have ceased doing prostitution work as a result of my reportage on this subject.

Apparently video companies are pressuring many of their starlets to cease any extracurricular activity. These pornographers don't have a problem having a couple of hundred strangers standing naked in line waiting to "meet" the starlet, as long as they can film it and make a profit, but if the lady chooses to meet a fan on her own, they have some moral objection to it. Because then they don't get a piece of the action, writes Fast Eddie on BigDoggie.net.

Seth writes: Good afternoon Luke: I saw you posted my review of Mrs. Kathy Willets and I have seen other postings of other reviews that my fellow posters such as Fast Eddie, StripperFarm and others have done on TBD which is Copyrighted material.

Since this has been happening for the past two weeks, several Porn stars have left the City/State Touring Scenario because they are being forced/pressured by the Video Production Companies they work for to stop from doing such things. Agencies will not suffer from this because they will find a way got get other substitutes eventually. My best bet is that these Video Production Companies and its affiliates are finding out because they all read your respected site that nationally and internationally is been looked at as you well know. I am also sure that your intension on posting TBD's Copyrighted materials on the Porn stars that we review on are not for taking away their income nor having the LE's or Feds investigate! or go after them but to show our personal opinions of them and so that people know that they are all human beings, down to earth persons, very intelligent and that do have feelings.

I am formally asking you to please do not ever post a Copyrighted review of me and I am sure others will ask for you the same since we do not want these ladies to loose nor jeopardize their jobs and income due to our reviews that are been read on your site and are for the sole purpose to help entrepreneurs in making the right decision and to know them better. I am not looking to gain popularity nor want to gain more enemies than what I already have either. I do these postings to help others only and to exchange knwledege. I am sure you have good intentions for these ladies of which you must know in one form or another of which you site lives of basically. I thank you in advance and I hope you understand and respect my position, Seth.

Abund writes: Luke, Do you feel any responsibility to copyedit the letters you post? Or are you happy showing the world what illiterate idiots work in porn? Here is a recent example:

"My best bet is that these Video Production Companies and its affiliates are finding out because they all read your respected site that nationally and internationally is been looked at as you well know. I am also sure that your intension on posting TBD's Copyrighted materials on the Porn stars that we review on are not for taking away their income nor having the LE's or Feds investigate! or go after them but to show our personal opinions of them and so that people know that they are all human beings, down to earth persons, very intelligent and that do have feelings."

Perhaps English is Seth's third or fourth language. Perhaps he is brain damaged or borderline retarded. But I do think it's your responsibility either to clean up the prose or to explain why you are leaving it garbled.

Helpful writes: Serious journalists never alter the facts! *snicker*

Rumdar writes Luke: Do not, I repeat DO NOT....clean up the bad grammar of English As A Second Language porners. It would compromise the high integrity of the Luke F-rd site as well as make the dimwitted perverts seem as intelligent as the genius variety.

Abund replies: That's fair enough. However, you might want to point out the mistakes by inserting the conventional [sic] after misspellings and solecisms. That way you can retain the flavor and authenticity while showing that the errors--or brainless idiocy in the case of Seth--are not yours.

Seth replies: Abund, I wish to tell you that indeed English is not the first nor my third language but my fourth after Spanish, Italian and Portuguese eventhough I was born in the U.S.A. and I am proud of it. Thanks to my job opportunities I have been able to learn different cultures and learned their languages in written and oral manner. I know how you feel of my poor English grammar, but if you dislike it so much then why read it and get angry and say the things you say when you should answer or respond to what is important to you unless this is important to you right? I feed my ego with people that try attacking my image because I know I am getting to their brains like in your case. My advice to you is to continue attacking my image and especially my grammar and also invite you to do the same on TBD and TER respective sites were I normally post. My fellow posters and I would enjoy your postings. By the way, What is the Capital of Singapore? (Make a search in Yahoo and i! t should give you the answer!).

Fast Eddie writes: Dear Mr. Ford, While I have to admit I do follow your site, I have a problem having my posts being reproduced on it. My posts on Big Doggie are generally responses to other posts, and taken as a whole represent my opinions and views belonging to a larger discussion. I feel that taken out of context, they may be misunderstood, and I’d appreciate it if you would cease to reproduce them in part or in full on your site. I appreciate your understanding.

Lukes says: Could you make an exception for this one post of yours?

Fast Eddie replies: Dear, Mr. Ford, While I do not wish to make an exception to this or any other post, I restate my invitation to post your reply on big doggie. I’m more than willing to engage in a dialogue on the board, where other’s can interject their feelings and opinions. These boards offer an open forum for the exchange of information, philosophies and individual opinions. No one has an advantage or disadvantage on the boards, and we lay ourselves open to criticism and critique. You obviously read the board, and take advantage of the information that is disseminated there, usually to the detriment of the ladies involved. Why not join the discussion? I for one would welcome hearing your feelings and opinions on all aspects of the Adult Entertainment Industry.

As I stated in my last email, I admit that I frequently read your site. It’s interesting in a “National Enquirer” kind of way... it appeals to the prurient interest of those of us who aren’t involved in the adult entertainment industry, and there is a certain fascination in the gossip, innuendo and flame wars that your site inspires. If the people involved want to air their dirty laundry on your site, more power to you and shame on them for laying their souls bare on a site who’s creator and overseer doesn’t hide his disdain for the industry that feeds his ego and gives him a platform. But when you use the site to copy posts and quotes out of context for the sole purpose of “outing” the ladies of adult films who are willing to meet their fans close-up, you are dragging people into your world who didn’t enter it voluntarily.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying this with any personal malice toward you. I find it fascinating that despite your obvious anti-porn bias, this industry will embrace you with open arms to achieve it’s own narrow goals, without looking at the big picture and the damage that it ultimately does to itself. You’re the Matt Drudge of the porn industry. Like Matt, you’re a tool of the religious right, whether by choice or ignorance.

So while I will probably continue to read your site, I can’t in good conscience contribute directly or by purloined posts to something that I feel is intended ultimately to do harm to an industry I support and people I’ve come to know and care for.

Andy: if tera patrick quit escorting because of you, you're a dead man. :)

Eddie W's Big Denver Party Attracts Industry Leaders

Most of the porn industry's leaders were in Denver this weekend partying with Eddie Wedelstedt and getting moved to tears by his charitable works.

Porner: "Eddie W. is the most dynamic person I've ever met. I have a whole new respect for the man that I never had before. I saw a whole new humane side of him that I never knew... Eddie W. does so much for charity and kids that I was moved to tears."

About 2500 people attended the event, most of them porners.

God Only Knows

Fallon From Above writes: Wanna hear a funny story? It's about a man who provides us all a way to access pornography from his web site, created a porno flick and is now blown away by a woman without enough common sence to realise that being f---ed for money eaquals being a whore. His name is...Duke Lord. He's a fictional character who claims to be a strong follower of Judaism, yet can't keep his mind from thinking about pornography.

The story may be too far fetched. I mean, who devotes all their time to porno, porno slut..stars and their lives, but yet, they claim they believe it to be immoral and wrong? I don't know, maybe I should find something more realistic to write about? Hypocrites are probably too boring a read. Right?

Luke F-rd Live

Monday PM Interview With Rob Spallone, James DiGiorgio

On Tuesday's Luke F-rd Live, from 4-6PM PST, our first guest will be Sin City uber director Michael Raven. At 5PM, we hope to talk to new porn star Logan.

Milking Logan's Breasts

Marc writes: if you want big ratings for tomorrow's LF live show, it's crucial that you post the entire logan saga front and center on the site, then folks will want to hear her speak. in fact, if you did the same for a different wannabe starlet every week, it'd get a certain momentum happening. but surfers need the reference for what you're talking about, otherwise it's too confusing. there's no reason an LF.com "studio system" couldn't be as successful as vivid video. frankly, i'd account your crush on logan to the fact that you kind of look alike.

Chaim Amalek writes: Are they real? Will she be in the um, "studio" with you at Casa Ford? Now THAT (making the determination yourself in your apartment) would make for an interesting show.

Luke, if she is local to you, then you MUST do this show from your home. It would be a keeper, and the two of you would then be able to work on all sorts of other projects.

Logan, if you are out there, PLEASE do the show from Luke's home studio. This will give you a perspective on Mr. Ford that only a lucky few have been able to attain, and will put you in good stead with a powerful and influential group of people.

PS to Putative Jew Marc: They actually shut down the New York City public schools today, all on account of predictions of a few inches of snow! This country is going to hell a lot faster than I thought. Stories like this only make war with Iraq that much more likely.

Bob Jones writes: I think she's a transvestite too. Her feet are huge, and her body is ill-proportioned for a woman. The breasts are obviously fake, I think the whole package is.

I'm also very disappointed you haven't done anything yet about that East Coast law student. I mean, really, if I knew of a Jewish chick on the west coast in journalism school, and she was thinking of giving up journalism to work in porn, or porn to work in journalism, you know I'd send her your way. This could be the woman of my dreams---barred, and she does anal.

putativejew: when you went to israel last summer how old were the others on the trip?
Luzdedos1: 24-38
putativejew: did you find it irritating how few of them had any religious inclination?
Luzdedos1: yes, same irritation felt with whole country
Luzdedos1: but on the other hand, goign with a religious group and you spend much of your time praying
putativejew: i'd probably feel more comfortable going with a group of modern orthodox folks 35+ years old
putativejew: established people, i get more energy from being around folks with families and jobs than scatterbrained younger folk
putativejew: i'm looking at logan fotos--how come she looks so much different in the mike south one than the ones she took herself?
putativejew: those breasts are scary large. do you have any of her pubic area?
putativejew: i realize this discussion is beneath my usual standards :)
putativejew: it's snowing so much outside here the compulsion is to sit in front of the computer and look at naked chicks putativejew: so where's a pic of logan's hoo-hoo?
putativejew: chaim, after all, thinks s/he's a transvestite
Luzdedos1: I threw it out as unholy
putativejew: as i suggested in my email, you could find a logan equivalent every week and your readership would love it putativejew: you'd get bored by it fast, as would i ... but that's not the point
putativejew: wow, logan's genitals *do* look unholy putativejew: i prefer mike south's photo
putativejew: i liked the mystery better; i will erase the memory of seeing her vagina

Curious writes: I note that she employs the "cummerbund effect" to stealth her belly. Could this device be used to hide a bulging stomach? Or worse, a fetal arm protruding from her hip.

Also did you note how she tried to distance herself from LF last night? The part about posting that "you asked me to reply..." That's cold.

Logan replies: DUH! Don't people look different when they are dressed different, makeup different, etc! You know I'm HOT Luke!What are you getting at now? This will be good for you're readers if you post! Now Logan's insecure as well as all those other jealousy comments! I'm good on all this now! Later days, Logan.

PS- Who in the hell is chaim? speaks as if i know this individual!No wannabee here! I know my films/mags will speak for themselves! Well, this will be good for me with this whole gossip deal! I have better things to do with my life for sure! Like making great films/pics and turning all on!!! Not to mention many people JEALOUS obviously! Take care Luke!

Luke says: I almost never badmouth anybody Logan, particularly not you... I simply allow an open forum...

Logan replies: Thanks Luke! I know about you, you sound like a sweetheart! I just didn't totally understand show, i guess? Sometimes i can be a bit of a hairhead! Look forward to finally meeting with you in person!

Also, regarding why my pics look different! You know, I'm sure that pics always look different for the most part? It had to be that ass you were talking to earlier! I hate being mean to people too, but you gotta defend yourself sometimes! I usually just let it go, cuz i know I'm a beauty, in and out but on occasions you gotta have some fun!!! Later sweets, LOGAN. Post away Love!!!

Luke, one of you're not so confident readers on site,claimed that i covered my stomach with a cumber bun! You wish you could lick my stomach jealousy!!!Just check my work out sweets!!!I love the transvestite comments as well! I love this industry so far all! Logan. "Keep them coming"

Kelly writes on RAME: I have a female friend who is thinking about going into porn. > She's also very intelligent - in a top 20 law school right now. > Would it be worth deferring the legal career for five years?

Someone replies on RAME.net: This has to be a troll. First of all, most law students "in a top 20 law school" have political aspirations. Or at least they consider that an option. Shenanigans like you propose for your "friend" would scuttle that.

Second of all, all state bars have a code of conduct which prohibits "conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice," and requires attorneys and judges to "act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary." So your "friend" would be precluded from being admitted to any bar if the porn past were known. Otherwise, they would eventually be disbarred.

Third, even if this were another planet where acting in porn didn't preclude the practice of law, what rational defendant would want such an attorney? What firm would hire her? Anyway, you may not like these facts, but that's real life. And I don't believe you either.

Hank writes: One person you might consider asking directly is Playboy Playmate Victoria Zdrok, who's not done hardcore extensively yet (we can argue over what she did in "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Sex," but that's not the issue here) but who has displayed quite a bit of interior vaginal tissue for the camera of late. She's supposedly a law-school graduate herself.

My question would be whether hardcore porn is something she wants hanging over her head in a legal career. If the bar finds out, will it admit her? If her colleagues, clients and the judges in front of whom she might appear find out, how will they react? Much easier and more profitable, IMHO, to do high-class escort work at $300 or more an hour, with higher rates for multiple hours and all-nighters. It's easier to maintain anonymity or deniability, and if you screen your clients well, your risk is minimal. Upwards of $100K tax-free per year is entirely reasonable, and if she's willing to travel and see multiple clients a day, well, you do the math.

Frank writes on RAME: Somehow, I think Careena Collins is the one to ask. She retired from porn to go to law school, came back after she finished and performed for a couple of years, and is now a practicing attorney. (At least, that's how the story goes.) She's also apparently rather kinky in her private life.

Dave Cummings writes on RAME: 125lbs on 5'4" sounds fine, but recommend that she not gain any weight. Hopefully her weight relates to toning of her body. With 500+ girls in the Industry, she needs to constantly guard against extra pounds. I'm told that World Modeling registers 300+ new girls a year!

Viewers thirst for new faces/bodies, hence even the top-rung newer girls sometimes have trouble finding additional work with the same companies once they've "made the rounds". Of course, there are the contract girls, as well as the other 35-45 who seem to stay in demand regardless of new girls arriving to compete with them. The money is not in doing films, but rather in getting on box covers, getting a good/dependable reputation, having a fan-friendly attitude and personality, and getting on the dancing circuit. Top girls easily make six-figures (as do some law school grads).

Edew writes on RAME: Unless she plans to be some nobody lawyer, or a very niche lawyer, I'd suggest she forego the porn route. If she's really into doing something related to sex, perhaps a more profitable and less legacy-draining route would be stripping at some dance club. If she's REALLY into doing things with sex, she might investigate "dancing" at places like Mitchell Bros. in San Francisco, CA. She'll make more in a night than she can make in three or four videos. Heck, she can work a year and pay for her four years of law school. And there's more anonymity with dancing at a place like Mitchell Bros' O'Farrell Theater. (A lot of college students dance there and pay their tuition with their money -- amazing how some colleges manage to screw students financially.)

How good is she as a lawyer? If she's really good as a lawyer, then the money made as such will far surpass what she can make as a porn star, or stripper. If she wants her cake and eat it too, perhaps she should go into the law business for the next ten-fifteen years, and then go into porn afterwards. Just as long as she doesn't get uglified in the legal world, there's plenty of business for older women in porn. That way, she has no worries about a porn past possibly hurting her legal career. On the other hand, her lawyer past might hurt her chances as a successful porn star :-)

Odyssey Group Video Buys All Good Video

AVN.com reports: Odyssey Group Video is buying All Good Video, Odyssey chief Bob East confirms to AVN.com, after a few months' worth of speculation on the prospect. "We will be taking over All Good and continuing certain of their lines," East says, "and Eli will continue producing and directing."

Is JR Carrington Still Available?

Porn star JR Carrington posted on BigDoggie.net that she was getting married and had retired from prostitution work.

But JRFan writes Luke: So I look at LA Exotics today under Famous Escorts and XXX Adult Starlets and Stacey from CoverGirlsInternational.com, in an ad, has her listed as available. She even has her picture in her billboard. And her pictures are still on all of her websites. In fact, I still see her services advertised on various escort sites. JR claims that she is having her lawyers go after anyone who still lists her as available. She said on tbd that no repuatble agency would still have her listed as available when she is clearly not

Is Pimp Dennis Hof A Joke?

NVLeadSlinger writes on NVBrothels.com: Hof is a bad joke. He fancies himself bigger than Joe Conforte. HAH - only in HIS dreams. Conforte is the one and only and Hof is only a cheap immitation. He's trying to compensate for what he lacks elsewhere. His mouth and behavior will be the single handed reason the houses will eventually be shut down by the legislature.

Joe had style - and is the one and only original Nevada pimp. Hof has a HUGE ego that wants to copy Conforte but never can. Both are slimes but Joe didn't make a cirucs and an embarrassment out of the brothels. Conforte knew prostitution was a private matter and not something on film for the whole world to see. Conforte flaunted his position by having beauties on his arms wherever he went and endearing himself to his county - but he kept the brothels respectable - not a joke.

Hof is pure selfish greed, no class whatsoever, and absolutely no style - never will have. The community sure doesn't respect him and he does nothing for the community. He runs around with the likes of Larry Flint and Jon Bobit for gawd sake. and makes a mockrey of true brothel prostitution by turning it into a porn freak show and pissing off the public. His disgusting obsession with bringing the spotlight to himself is going to cause the legislature to one day close the brothels because Hof makes them too much of an embarrassment to Nevada.

Hof can NEVER hope to walk in Conforte's shoes - EVER. His stupid title he gives himself, means nothing because he gave it to himself and it just shows his ignorance and out of control ego and how much he fails to understand the damage he is publicly doing to the industry.

NiceGuyEddie writes: And I'm sure Joe Comfort was a model citizen and a posterboy for the National Organization Of Women. Isn't he the guy who preferred to employ prostitutes with pimps since they were easier to control?

Flash says his girl Asia Mirage was Hefner's date for his Saturday night party.

James DiGiorgio writes: Thanks Luke, you ruined my f---ing day. Sylvia Saint, Dyann lauren, Larry Hagman, and Hugh Hefner were munchin down shrimp that measure longer than my dick. Thanks buddy. How many guys out there now feel inferior to a f---ing shrimp? We won't forget your journalistic insensitivity in this matter.

From MarksFriggin.com, a summary of the Howard Stern Show:

Stripper Kendra Jade Comes In. 7/26/99.

8:45am Kendra Jade is the stripper who set up and taped Jerry Springer in a room with her a couple of years back. She also slept with Mike Gange from Howard's E! show. Today she came in to announce that she'll be at The Bunny Ranch in Carson City, Nevada screwing her fans from August 5-12. That's right, she'll be giving sexual favors for money at this Bunny Ranch. Kendra said that she decided to do it to make her fans happy. She went with the Bunny Ranch because it seemed like a safe place to do it even though she'll be splitting the money 50/50 with the ranch. She said she won't turn down any amount of money. If someone comes with $50 she'll tell them what she's willing to do for that amount. Benjy came in at one point and told Kendra he had $3. Kendra told him she'd shake his hand for that amount.

Howard read off some of the items on the Bunny Ranch ''menu'' which included:

Lingerie show
Hand Relief party
Massage
Dirty dancing
Bondage dungeon
Vibrator show
Straight sex
Total French

Those were just a few of the items on the list. If you're interested you can call 1-888-BunnyRanch to make an appointment. Howard also asked Kendra about her 75 year old boyfriend who was on the show with her a few months ago. She told Howard that things just didn't work out with them. He didn't call her back after they appeared together on Howard's show. Howard thought that it was just a publicity stunt anyway. Kendra swears it wasn't because the guy was sleeping with her and she didn't receive a cent for promoting the Duro 2000 crap they were talking about.

Howard took a couple of phone calls for Kendra before she left. One guy just wanted to tell Kendra that she's nothing more than a whore now but then asked if he could get her business card. One woman told Kendra that she wanted to be her first lesbian experience. Kendra said she was into that and she's also in to doing couples. As Kendra was getting ready to leave she told Howard that she cut herself while trimming her pubic hair so she showed him where it was. She also showed her ass and Howard noticed some zits on it. Kendra said it's because the stage she dances on is dirty from the other strippers and her ass breaks out sometimes. Kendra also mentioned that she shot a video with Everclear that will start airing on MTV in the near future.

Marc writes: latest pics of her happen to be from the site where i check for all the scoop on washed-up '80s hair rockers: http://www.metal-sludge.com/KendraPhotoShoot.htm

Rumdar writes: Does anyone know what Total French means? How does it compare with Total Polish, Total Thai or Partial Bulgarian? I bet French costs more.

Curious writes: Big deal. Escorting. It's not like you accused her of sticking pages of the Holy Bible up her ass. Wait. Scratch that.

Annoying Portland Oregon Station KNRK FM

I've been dealing with a supremely annoying radio station, KNRK.com, out of Portland Oregon.

It all began this way with this email: "Luke F-rd: I am a producer of a morning radio show here in Portland Oregon, "The Gustav and Daria Show" and interested in featuring your website as one of our "website of the week" Please contact me at XXX or reply back to this email. Thank You Nik J Miles."

So we talk. We schedule an interview for this morning. Then they call me several times to confirm. They email me to confirm. They have some annoying intern call me for extraneous details about my site they could figure out for themselves.

So I go to synagogue like normal this morning and come home at 8:25 AM, five minutes early, to find two annoying messages from the station. The host wants to talk to me before the interview. The host needs to know what questions he should ask me. He's got a stupid English accent and he must be a moron if I knows my web site but doesn't know what questions to ask me.

So I call them. They put me on hold forever. I hang up, tired of waiting. They never call back. Good riddance to them.

Lynne L-patin: Luke...I heard something interesting on the radio station on my drive in this morning
Lynne L-patin: They were doing "website of the week" and mentioned that someone had referred them to a porn site, which, when they checked it out, was all text, boring, and the picture of the host looked like a child molester
Lynne L-patin: so they declined to discuss it on the air
Luzdedos1: that was the station that was going to interview me
Lynne L-patin: mind you, this is the reaction I had to the site yesterday, and again this morning...
Lynne L-patin: but here's my thought on it, and its just something to think about
Lynne L-patin: people are always asking me why I devote time to you when I should have "my own" site... Maybe it is time for you to disengage with Dennis Prager and have one site for Luke/porn and another for Luke/other, with the idea that some day it is the other into which you will step away....
Lynne L-patin: Cuz I did my job by referring the station to you, but I can't do much about their perception of you
Lynne L-patin: And VKendra knows that where you are now is not where you will be in a few years
Lynne L-patin: Which is one of the things that makes me approve of her

Supermodel Ostracized For X-Rated Shoot

Noah writes: Luke, A couple months ago supermodel Ana Claudia did a photo shoot in 'Arena' portraying dead pornstar Savannah. Ana Claudia was in Milan recently and Italian designers were pissed that she did the X-rated photo shoot. Ana Claudia decided to come back to the states. This tells you that porn is still frowned upon even in liberal Europe.

Netpond Webmaster Board

Most of the talk on Netpond this morning is on The Sopranos season premiere.

Johnathan Silverstein writes: Been waiting for the premeire episode of THE SOPRANOS for a LONG time! Just a few thoughts (in no particular order): It kinda SUCKED! When Tony says "no more fires" - that means battin' out your rival IS ok...NOT! Adriana's nipples are HARD 24/7...and that's a GOOD thing! Baby Bing is your stereo-typical suburban white kid that listens to hip-hop, and promotes marijuana usage by wearing t-shirts emblazed with a large POT leaf! I already miss Livia! Sometimes Meadow looks like a hottie...other times she looks like a slob! Next weeks episode looks BETTER than the premiere! Janice is a friggin' C_NT! I can already see 4 people that would like to WHACK Tony! Security at the Soprano pad is totally lagging when a guy can walk up to the house with a gun, and piss in T's pool! Paulie Walnuts cracks me up wheather

MikeAI writes: CJ would you not agree that what lensman did was the REAL vigilanteism?? His DoS attack is what is at case here - not whether he paid the guy or not. Lets face it, every major sponsor has people saying bad things, some post messages some make webpages. If the sponsor is clean then people relaize this, make their own decisions and moved on. But I do not remember CE, MaxCash, CEN or otehrs DoS attacking people to keep them quiet. For those who doubt what lensman did was a DoS attack, here is a definition: Short for denial-of-service attack, a type of attack on a network that is designed to bring the network to its knees by flooding it with useless traffic.

CJ@Sexhit.com writes: I have no opinion in the lensman case as no one has really presented that much info on it ... however, i think giving industry policing to a vigilante is harmful.

Somebody lampooning Dean Shannon of Intergal writes on Netpond: I forgot how wonderfully entertaining this board was. I wish I had more time to read it but we're so busy with all our mainstream ventures. We've had some bad publicity of late on some of the boards. Please feel free to add your thoughts regarding our programs. We value your feedback. If only I could teach some of you Yanks how to spam and cheat like real men LOL.

I forgot to add something to my previous posting. We sent out another identical massive spam mailing yesterday well over 5 million pieces I reckon. Please disregard the second spam if you got the prior one Saturday. We are very happy with the results thus far.

Captain Cook writes: I though Sheila was slang for Female Convict. I mean they took the lowest of low scum from Old London Town, the thieves, whores, pick pockets & murders, all Englands WORST and packed them off to Australia. No wonder they are all CROOKED! and CJ [from Sexhit.com] has worked with all of the worst.

Frank writes from down under: I dont really know why someone is slamming Dean Shannon on netpond. Dean has been very quiet lately in the porn world ( btw dean - cjs pimp wasnt Dean ) - someone has it in for Dean and I have no idea who it is.

I know Intergal had a hostile webmaster which we are currently dealing with who claims intergal didnt pay them - which is true (but intend to just to clear it up) this webmaster sent intergal 31 sign ups from 160 uniques and then sent us the customer ibill receipts to prove they got the sign ups - and only 5 members logged on at all ( intergal is going to cancel all the members and refund them as it really looks like fraud ) but i cant understand why they are so persistant in wanting their money it is an obvious scam anyway this sort of thing happen occassionaly. so we all know you cannot convert like that and how the hell would the webmaster get customer recepits ( well realistically anyway - they claim they asked their surfers ! )

Dean Shannon doesn't live in Christopher Skases [former owner of Australia's Channel 7 network] house but your information wasnt that misguided. Dean's parents bought it from Skase himself in 1989 or 1990. It was long before Dean got into the adult industry. They sold it a few years later. They bought it with all the furniture pretty funny really some of the items had - deliver to port douglas mirage still on the back of the items - obviously misappropriated public funds and instead of the antiques ending up at Mirage Resort they somehow ended up at Skases!

Heather Barron - Brother, Can You Spare $300 For Some Bandwidth

Heather Barron writes on her site www.HeatherBarronxxx.com: Your $20 bucks will allow me to continue this site and my journey thru Lustville, USA.I really, really wanna do my first mini gang bang. I really, really want to continue my hot & artistic photography.I really, really want to continue writing about my private erotic life and all the boytoys I use for my pleasure. (if you want to appear on my site as a sextoy/porn star, email me.) I'll soon be pleasing regular guys like you across the land when I travel and in my members area, everyone will get to see all the wild things I let you do to me. Who will my first victim be? Mike emailed me well over 6 months ago. He has a regular job in LA and wants his first internet porn experience. I'll break him in gently! There's nothing better than rewarding my fans with pussy. I really, really wanna screw with peoples' heads at the local supermarket when they say "Isn't that the horny girl from the web that loves to take cock? You want a quarter pound of WHAT Miss Barron?!!!"

This is how this works. My hosting company charges me $300 a month for your constant downloading of my pictures. That, in technical terms, is called bandwidth. That, in artist's terms, is called da rent money. Now, who has been absorbing the cost up til now? Me. Now you guys are exceeding the $300 a month mark and taking me into the dedicated server market. If I don't generate more than that per month, I'm in the hole and I'd much rather have you in my hole than have to close this site. So, enough said, I'm not asking, I'm begging on my knees, with an open mouth, please if any horny guys are out there and you enjoy my site, let me continue f---ing and writing about f---ing, romance, love and lust and passion on trains and sex in alleys and the porn industry and...to continue providing those that can't afford erotic photography and composition, a room with a view. Those, like yourself, who might be able to afford the $20 bucks can help keep Lustville alive for cocks less fortunate. Click here.

Home Page Amused writes: I love Heather Barron's newest photo! BTW Luke, how much does your bandwidth run?

Voltron writes: Why don't you tell heather barron that her site "heatherbarronxxx" takes up ungodly amounts of bandwidth because her web site is designed by a moron. The pictures are resized within the browser (not a photo editing tool) and wastes a ton of $$$. Any decent web guru can make the site about 1/5 it's current size without any discernable loss of quality.

Luke Gets Mail

Porn star Kianna Bradley writes: Luke, hey whats up? to brian (only 3rd grade dip s---!!!!!!!!!) my wrist is f---ed up and its also wrapped and i didnt hit all the f---ing keys call 611 (whaaaaambulance) cry baby, you computer geek get a f---ing life!!!!!! Luke. he makes me laugh:) let me guess,he is a spelling teacher!!!!!!!!!class dismissed loser!!!!!! i love it when ass-holes or whole asses f--- with me. oopps, am i using bad language today? oh well. anyways, luke give me a call, i'm up now........

Brian writes: Luke: What a response from Kianna on my 3rd grade comment. These porners are f---ing fun!!! I mean I make a little comment about 3rd grade and I get a GIANT response from Kianna. She's almost as much fun as Skeeter Kerkove and Kid Vegas. I love f---ing with their heads. Thanks for giving up the vehicle to do so. I'm off to track down Kendra Jade in Philadelphia, I've got $1200.00 CRISP DOLLARS for an hour!!!

Porn star Logan writes: Read more on Michael Raven and that lunatic Misha! Luke, I'll have to say, during my 1st scene with Sin City, Michael showed concern for me in how i was doing and showed nothing but a professional attitude! That goes for Scott J. and everyone involved during shoot! I just can't wait for Michael to direct me! He is one of the tops in my opinion! I'm sure some of you're jealous readers will have something to say about that! Well, he and Sin city and Hustler(only companies, I've worked with so far) are great!!!

Rumdar writes: >Nobody lampoons Billy Graham. Why? The Hell with Billy Graham, look what they have done to Chuck Heston. Why? because he likes to fire his guns. Chuck has been Jesus, Moses, King David, Ben Hur and every other biblical figure you can name. Billy Graham, Farwell, Robertson and Luke's dad Des pale beside Heston. Yet he is maligned by the pinko left for his love affair with assault rifles. I like the guy. I am just wondering why (after all the cash he has made in the movie biz) he buys his hairpieces at K-Mart. Not only the hair mind you, but the teeth. Charlton's choppers look like the generic kind one could purchase rather cheaply in a small shop in Tijuana. Chuck, come on already, shape up. Get some decent hair and teeth. The image man, The Image.

So what was the point? I just got back from the Houston Live Stock and Rodeo (Show). I read approximately 20 E mails from you guys. The point is this. The porno gal Logan has to go. No matter what love Luke professes for her now he will not want to kiss her after she had blown Mandingo. Forget the tic tacs, the Listerine....no way. Vancouver Kendra on the other hand seems like a sweet (if somewhat dimwitted) Canadian girl. As wholesome as early winter snow. Hey, Kendra who is that lovely Asian girl in your pic? Has she ever been to Texas? It's warm down here in the winter. Fellers, I am tired. Watching all that rodeo stuff can fatigue a man.

Ian writes: Hi Luke. I can't be alone among your readers in regarding contributions by Lynne L-patin as among the most interesting on your site. (Whether you should be publishing all of them, or replying to some of them personally instead, is a separate issue.) Some time ago, when commenting on someone else, I made a passing reference to her as a woman 'of a certain age', a description which she appeared to take as a casual insult. In fact, I actually think her rather sexy. Indeed, some of her contributions add an erotic element to your site which is otherwise almost totally absent, in spite of its high expletive quotient. It seems to me that, with her long association with the porn industry, her somewhat lurid past and undoubted writing talent, Ms L-patin's autobiography could be a best seller, and one I'd love to read.

Bob Jones writes: Regarding Kelly, the East Coast law student considering porn. Luke, I saw this on your site and was shocked that you didn't follow up and try to talk to this student and counsel her. I encourage you to do so. You can save this woman's life and career---she's still debating entering the industry. Together, I think we can convince her that there are many more ways to do dirty, reprehensible and degrading things to make a lot of money as a lawyer than there are in porn. Further, I encourage you to give her my phone number.

Donedone writes: Luke- When I wrote that mail, I was drunk and not very nice. I hope you know that your site is still a fav, and you still rock. I appreciate you posting my mean s---. Let me know if you want to talk. Whyd you get arrested anyway? I didnt read for a week or so, than just got wind of it.

Three Cheers For Misha

Chaim Amalek writes: Why do you call Misha a crackpot? While I do not share his belief that lust is not indispensible to procreation (but even there, the differences may be partly semantic), he is not a crackpot in the sense that the devout Negro members of the Nation of Islam are crackpots (unless you consider Christianity to be a crackpot faith - DO YOU?). Nor are his beliefs a deadly threat to our welfare in the sense that world communism was. He simply appears to be a sincere, religious, anti-porn crusader who offers would-be porn hookers better advice than most of the fans of porn provide. And his views are more widely held than liberals (secular jews, that means you!) may wish to acknowledge.

Fred, you make an interesting argument as to why you think it is socially acceptable to ridicule religious figures: "Many religious figures are lampooned because they often attempt to hijack the political process or otherwise attempt achieve goals in ways that the public at large sometimes finds obnoxious. Example: a) They try to hijack school boards and force those school boards to teach creationism (example: Kansas and Louisiana)"

Well, I am not sure what the term "hijack" means here, but let's assume it means using the courts and other levers of power to do what most people do not want done. Talk to some white people who lived through it, and you will find that the far more successful attempts of non-religious people to hijack the public schools of this country for use as laboratories of social engineering were found to be far more obnoxious and harmful. (Forced busing was the central tool of this attack, from the 1950's forward. If we seldom hear about this hideous practice anymore, it is only because white people have largely retreated from public school systems where it is practiced.) Mainstream media never quite treated the architects of these programs with the contempt they reserve for Christians like Misha.

"They try to use the political process to battle against gays". Most people do not want gays to have anywhere near the influence over our culture and way of life that gays feel they deserve to have. It is gays who demand that others alter their deeply held beliefs to accommodate them, not the reverse. Yet who is held to ridicule - the Christian man who would keep homosexuals out of the Boy Scouts, or the Homosexual who has wet dreams of becoming a Scout Master? Gays and liberals (the latter group being disproportionately jewish) have been very active in the last 30 - 50 years in remaking America in their image, the rest of us be damned. But they have not been targeted for ridicule by those who control our culture; Christians have. Could it be because the elites who control our mass-media are themselves liberal and seldom are professing Christians?

It takes a lot of guts to stand up in a crowd of Pharisees and be counted for what one believes to be right and Christian. Three cheers for Misha!

Rumdar writes: May I suggest we nominate Misha for The First " Luke F-rd Humanitarian Award". I think this could be an annual affair given for good deeds done steering potential porn trollops away from a life of degradation and towards their nearest federally funded job training center. The ceremony would take place at the closest Arby's to Luke's hovel. After we could retire to Luke's place, munch on protein bars (desert) and watch bestiality tapes. Any ideas fellas?

Fred writes: I don't think a demand for equal legal rights for gays is intrusive to non-gays. It is infinitely more intrusive on gays to live in a situation where they could be fired from work or imprisoned for being gay than it is on Christians who have to live in a country where gays are allowed to exist.

I take issue with a religious group trying to say that their religious values should be, in effect, the law of the land. That is essentially the creed of the extreme religious right. When they take that step, the get ridiculed. Doubtless, the Amish disapprove of homosexuals. But nobody castigates the Amish over that issue.

Again, sir, it is not the ultimate belief that lands the Christian right in trouble. It is an effort to enter the political fray. People who enter the political fray get castigated. That's the way it is, and that's the way it has always been.

Bible School

Plans are well under way for the 18th GNU Bible School to be held 4-6 May at Alderson Hall 11710 Education St. Auburn CA. This Bible School will feature an examination of Luke's Gospel. Luke is well known for his emphasis on the inclusive nature of the Kingdom of God. Pastor Roy Gee and Pastor Ron Allen will present clear and inspiring teaching, showing Christ as the universal Man; the Man for everyone.

Luke says: I think it is far superior for woman to be money centered than either a marxist or socialist or other ideological dreamer...better than to be a porn chick...far superior... women who are money centered do little harm, they are simply being honest to themselves...

Lynne reflects: I'm guessing you have your tongue firmly implanted in someone's cheek, Luke, being that porn chicks ARE money-centered (you really think they do it because they can't get laid any other way?) Marxism and Socialism are godless forms of ideological dreaming, so I understand your aversion; but surely you would think it far superior for a woman to be societally-centered rather than self-centered, and ultimately God-centered rather than money-centered?

Socialism and religion aren't that different, really: both are forms of altruism, with the latter deity-driven and the former dependent on secular human interaction. But as you know only too well, religions, too, have their hierarchy, their forms of "government," their mindless orthodoxy. Your own father was confined to the Gulag of Seventh-day Adventism during a purge as godless as any of Stalin's.

The world of SDAism is as microcosmic as that of porn, and curiously, both father and son have chosen the same path into two very different territories: saying what they will, regardless of personal consequence, in what is ultimately a very small arena. Dr. D-smond Ford, the man who brought down SDAism as we know it; Luke F-rd, the man who would bring down porn. Both of you, advocating yourselves right out of a job? Perhaps you've more in common than you'd like to admit?

Personally I'm bored with warring ideologies as presented on the site. Judging people not by their ability to spout coherent rhetoric, but by their actions toward one another, will be far more beneficial to our wacky little community in the long run (especially should one get a flat tire along the afore-mentioned path.) Let's keep our focus on who bounces check on whom, on who fails to show up for shooting, and on whose website rips off customers. Real world ethics, with an overtone of gossip about them, are far more appealing to the majority of your readers, dear, than theoretical religious constructions: we read l-keford.com not to enlighten our souls, but for the smut.

Misha vs Michael Raven

Misha writes: Michael Raven's question about how many jobs have I created suggests that SINCity films has created lots jobs. This is like the crack cocaine dealer boasting that he has brought "enterprise and employment to the ghetto." The question is how many lives has he damaged via "jobs" in porn.It can also be asked how many better jobs would have been created if the money that flows into SINcity had been put to better use. And as for a two year career in porn being a lifetime of financial security. If they offered a porn performer a million dollars it still wouldn't be a good deal. I hope the women reading this (Paying attention Logan?) noted that Michael Raven actually said "two years." And it's not the market that decided Mr. Raven; it's the insatiable need for "new meat" on the part of people with rampaging desires that helps the porn pimps lure the next Logan type into porn with far-fetched promises of being the one to "make it big" in your cesspool. Call it what it is and don't use euphemisms to hide the truth of the matter.

Further, if he is the Biblical scholar he boasts himself to be then he knows that it is not works righteousness that saves but Christ's Atonement; however, he is wrong in thinking that faith doesn't come with a responsibility to act in accordance with it otherwise, to quote the New Testament, "Faith without works is dead [faith]." If I build a hospital it doesn't make me righteous through and through for I need Christ to do that. And so far as Raven's attacks on my sanity, well, I would have to say that the truly insane man is the man who trades Christ for porn.

And to MHJ: I read the text here not for the purposes of getting my jollies but because I have to read and take a few moments to think your poorly formed arguments to be able to correct them and not just guess and make pronouncements as do you, Fred, Michael Raven, and some others.

I am afraid that Raven's skill at abusing meaning and logic and couching inane platitudes about his (evil) life in porn would fool some people. I hope enough of your readers can see men there are men like him have a modicum of skill in written self expression but with the accompanying the morals of a cad. A dangerous mixture indeed. Much like those of a semi-educated pimp.

One last thing, I have read that I should not "judge" by the very same people who are judging me. Of course, they make their own standards as it suits them when it suits them. The aspect of judging anyone comes with condemnation if one is guilty of the same sin or vice. Then the hypocrisy of the person judging makes the punishment more severe. However, I am not out of line to call Michael Raven to task on his smarmy livelihood. I do not do what Raven does for a living nor do I use my mind to convince others that debauchery is somehow just another "lifestyle" choice. The Bible itself has much to say about the right and wrong way to live. It only suits the pornographers if Christians are silent.

I hope all your readers really take a look at themselves. Choose Christ and not the philosophy of porn princes like Michael Raven. Choose Christ and not going "clubbing" to chase women. Choose Christ and not working as a pornographer or porn performer. Choose Christ and choose wisdom and peace in this life. Choose porn and choose the foolish vanities of contemporary "chic" society. It really is a choice between Good and evil.

Michael Raven writes: Unlike the cocaine business the adult industry is 100% legal. The comparison is ludicrous and not valid. I ask you AGAIN, how many jobs have you created? What financial opportunities do you provide?

"And as for a two year career in porn being a lifetime of financial security. " I never stated anything close to this. Nowhere in my posts did I suggest that a two year career would bring a lifetime of security. Why do you lie and consistently take things out of context?

"And it's not the market that decided Mr. Raven; it's the insatiable need for "new meat" on the part of people with rampaging desires that helps the porn pimps lure the next Logan type into porn with far-fetched promises of being the one to "make it big" in your cesspool. Call it what it is and don't use euphemisms to hide the truth of the matter."

TRUTH OF THE MATTER? . You moron! "NEEDS" and "DESIRES" are the general market. You simply asked what was the average career span of performers. That average takes into consideration that most female performers spend a short time in front of the camera by choice. A few performers have been in the industry for ten years or more. The smart ones, Jenna Jameson, Jill Kelly,, etc...have used this industry to create successful businesses that actually do offer them a lifetime of security.

"And so far as Raven's attacks on my sanity, well, I would have to say that the truly insane man is the man who trades Christ for porn. "

You must be having imaginary discussions with someone else. I have never made such a statement. NOWHERE in my postings have I ever questioned your sanity. It is obvious that you have no desire for accurately reporting facts or responding to challenges with any degree of intellectual honesty. Why do you consistently misquote, misconstrue and otherwise show a complete disregard for contextual honesty? Such behavior is reprehensible. You attack me and my character , accuse me of making comments that I didn't and hurl gross generalizations of an abusive nature toward me. All of this with NO PROOF to back up your specious assertions. Why are you still posting? You wrote Luke on Saturday informing the site that you had made your last post. What changed your mind?

Logan writes: Luke, as I've said tons of time! Michael Raven is to me a very kind ,honest individual from the get go with me! Why do you think i can't wait to work under one of his films! Sin City, including Scott J were excellent to me as well from the get go! I judge from experience as every human being should! Misha, guaranteed should not be talking of anything to do with being a director or actor! Should stick to nonsense as a career! Jealousy as well! Big religious person my ass! Casting stones! Talking trash! Real god fearing person there! Talk later Luke! Logan. Filming was a pleasure with Sin City!!!

Awaiting A Snow Holocaust In New York City

Chaim Amalek writes: I am hunkered down in my snow bunker on the Upper West Side of New York, awaiting what the media have predicted will be a veritable holocaust of snow (but without any of the bodies). They are predicting a full 2 - 4 inches of snow before this is all over, so God knows how it all will turn out. All I can say at this point is, I now know how the Leningraders felt during the 900 days (except that my belly is full and likely to remain so, and there is no enemy army at the gates.)

And speaking of God, Misha/Devoto/Peter Christian (just mischievous speculation on my part) present the following choices before your readers:

Choose Christ and not the philosophy of porn princes like Michael Raven.
Choose Christ and not working as a pornographer or porn performer.
Choose Christ and choose wisdom and peace in this life.
Choose porn and choose the foolish vanities of contemporary "chic" society.

It really is a choice between Good and evil. Luke, you have seen this from both sides, as a Christian and as a porn journalist. Which side do you think the average young gentile performer or consumer of pornography would be better off selecting? Do you disagree with anything that Misha/Devoto/PeterLutherChristian have had to say on this topic? Isn't Christianity a powerful innoculant against a life in pornography, much more so than atheism or rootless cosmopolitanism?

Luke says: I largely agree with Misha. Yes, Christianity is a powerful innoculant against a life in porn.

Chaim writes: Does it not follow then, that thinking porners MUST be opposed to Christianity for just that reason? And to which other harmful social poisons (feminism, bolshevism, etc.) is Christianity an innoculant? Might not this line of inquiry explain the deep hostility of our cultural elites to the worship of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior?

Michael Raven replies: Christianity is also a powerful innoculant against rational thinking as well. I am opposed to the cult of fundamental Christianity because I have lived within it. I have seen it's destructive power and rejected it on those grounds not because rejecting such belief would justify my behavior or activities. My activities and behaviors changed AFTER I realized that Christianity had been preventing me from actually experiencing life and learning from those experiences.
