Candy Roxxx Review

Whassup writes on BigDoggie.net: Hey fellas, thought I would share with you guys my recent experience with Candy Roxxx. I was a bit nervous scheduling an appointment because I couldn't find any reviews and she charges a 20 percent deposit but I had a good feeling about this one. Boy, was I pleasently surprised! Candy is a very attractive women probably about 5'8 with enhanced DD breasts,a tight little body and a great disposition. She was very reliable and showed up right on time. SHe charges 500 an hour with a 2 hour minimum, IMO a very reasonable rate. She loves her job and she was awesome in session. BBBJ,DATY, multiple shots. Like I said earlier she really gets into the session and trust me after two hours you will be more then satisfied. A couple other notes: she has piercings on her tongue, nipples and private area and she also is a smoker.

I, personally, have only had very good experiences with Samantha Strong but we have become friends so that might have something to do with it. I will say this, she is tremendous in session and even prettier then when she did porn. She has lost her baby fat and has had her breasts reduced.

Tuesday, July 17 - Vincent Pastore and Victoria Silvestedt guest star in "Booger Nights"

XXX writes: Howard Stern's FX TV show "Son Of The Beach" will be doing an episode where the major storyline revolves around a mafia/porn connection. It's a very funny episode. I suggest that you recommend to Paul Fishbein that he tune in and watch this episode. The SOTB "Booger Nights" episode is a SOTB spoof/takeoff on the film "Boogie Nights".

Vincent Pastore is the actor who plays the role of Big Pussy on HBO's The Sopranos. He has appeared on SOTB in a previous episode last season playing a tough mob boss type character. He brings that character back for this new episode with a porn/mafia connected twist.

Victoria Silvestedt is a very hot former Playboy Playmate of The Year. She also appeared in an episode of SOTB last season playing an extremely sexy European character.

The Playmate and the Prodigy

BlindGuy writes on BigDoggie.net: The June issue of "Philadelphia Magazine" features a story entitled "The Prodigy and the Playmate" by Ben Wallace. This story has been on www.l-keford.com the last three days.

The article is about the adventures of Mark Yagalla, a young stock market whiz, with Tishara Lee Cousino, Miss May 1999, and Sandy Bentley (Sandy and her twin sister Mandy were girlfriends of Hefner.) Sandy was not a Playmate but did a pictorial with her sister in the May 2000 issue.

Yagalla met Tishara, as well as other Playmates, through Nici of www.Nicisgirls.com. And Tishara introduced him to Sandy. Eventually, Yagalla put Tishara and Sandy on monthly allowances of about $20K-$25K. During their relationship, Yagalla gave Tishara 2 houses (1 cost $450K and the other $850K) and a Mercedes SL 500. Yagalla gave Sandy a $1.7 million house, numerous cars including a Ferrari, Range Rover and Cadillac Escalde SUV, 2 Rolexes and $200K in jewelry.

The article said that Sandy told Yagalla that "Hefner had trouble finding satisfaction through intercourse. Instead, he liked the girls to pleasure each other while he masterbated and watched gay porn."

When Yagalla lost his fortune, he lost both girls. The article also said that Nici set Yagalla up with Jenna Jameson ($25K for 2 days). On l-keford, Nici denied setting Yagalla up with Jameson but Nici confirmed that she set Yagalla up with Tishara.

XXX tells Luke: "The article really isn't about Playboy Playmates escorting. The article is about a guy who embezzled $200 million from his investors. And they're glamorizing this thief as a great stud. And nobody is talking about how this guy paid for these girls with money he stole from people. That's gotten lost. People are more concerned that he allegedly bought Jenna Jameson than that the guy was a thief and ripped people off."

Luke: "Yes, but the human interest angle for guys is buying sex with Playboy Playmates."

XXX: "What's interesting is how a 23-year old kid convinced people to give him that kind of money. Why wouldn't a Playmate escort? Because she got $20,000 to pose naked? She's going to live off that $20,000 for the rest of her life?"

Luke: "But guys worship these women in Playboy. They study them like a Ph.D. thesis. And the realization that these fantasy girls might be available for escorting drives your average guy wild. People can live contentedly with reality and the monotony of monogamy if they aren't being tantalized with images like Tishara Cousino and Sandy and Mandy Bentley available for a price. That rips up the fabric of civilization.

"Civilization has an inherent interest in stigmatizing all forms of sexual release outside of heterosexual marriage. The images in this article and in pornography and salacious radio, TV and film stimulate the male libido to want things they can never get. Men would be better off not feeding off these fantasies.

"People don't care about this guy's white collar crime. But guys care about f---ing Playboy Playmates."

XXX: "That's stupid. Go embezzle $300 million and you too can have a Playboy Playmate."

Luke: "Men worship and hate these women. So they can read Ben Wallace's article and think, 'Oh, they're all whores. I knew she was a slut. And if I gave her $20,000, she'd f--- me too. Blood rushes to their genitals... I mean, I am not immune from this. When I read Wallace's article, it was a huge fantasy trip for me. It was gripping and exciting. Just as a man, the details of the ultimate male adventure. And then you can think, 'All these Playboy Playmates are whores.'"

XXX: "I've always thought Hefner was gay. He just seems very feminine to me. The way he talks and the way he moves. If you watch him in an interview and the way he gets all kissy kissy. He seems like a flaming queer from West Hollywood."

Luke: "Yes. I've seen him in person and he does seem gay."

XXX: "Guys think Hefner is super Joe Cool, but no. He's Super Joe Gay. That's why he loves to be around all those women because deep inside he wants to be a chick. He wants to have titties and blonde hair."

XXX: "I hear that Nici and AdultStarFantasy.com have put together a New York agency - NYCFantasies.com."

I surfed over to NYCFantasies.com and found the following women available for hire: Chloe Vevrier, Gina Lynn, Samantha Strong, Randi Rage, Tina Cherry, Elke Jeinsen, Teri Weigel, Nici Sterling, Montana Gunn, Elle Devine, Gauge, Chloe Jones, Shay Sights, Shyla Foxxx, Taylor St. Claire, Lynn LeMay, Farrah.

And a mystery Playboy Playmate: "Meet our mystery Playmate for an evening in NYC or with her girlfriend Elke Jeinsen, Playboy's Miss May 1993, when Elke visits her 6/25-6/28 in NYC! Our mystery Playmate really isn't a mystery at all. She is actually one of the most famous ladies in the past decade to have graced the Centerfold of Playboy. She became a Playmate at the ripe age of eighteen and from then on she was destined to become one of the most popular nude models in the world. She continues to pose as covergirl for many of Playboy's International editions and Newsstand Specials but she's more than just a pretty face. She's also an unusually bright individual, speaking multiple languages and graduating from an Ivy League school at the top of her class. It's been a story of success for our all-American sweetheart. Call: 212-253-8222.

"SCORE Magazine Supermodel! Chloe Vevrier was born in East Berlin, Germany, in an era when its citizens were restricted in all forms of personal freedom -- except sex! This graceful creature is multi-talented and loves her new life of unbound freedoms. She's completed her studies in medical science, specifically, natural medicine. When Chloe first started modeling, she found the opportunity to disrobe enabled her the power to accept the attention of admirers. Chloe has been having a love affair with the lens ever since! Chloe is one of the sexiest and most popular models ever. Her incredible voice and voluptuous figure make her hard for any man, or woman, to resist. When she has time off, she likes to travel throughout the world studying traditional healing methods. To spend a day with Chloe is like Heaven on Earth, but a night is simply out of this universe. She is filled with boundless conversation and zest for all life.

"Shyla Foxxx is a stunning beauty with a magnetic personality. People seem drawn to her no matter where she is. With one look at her, you notice that she has the most incredible molasses colored eyes, curvaceous figure and Cheshire cat smile that leaves you wanting to know more about her. To compliment her physical attributes, she has a dynamite wry sense of humor. Since 1990, she has been delighting the world through dance, magazines and erotic films. She has even managed to snag the interests of mainstream entertainment giants, Jerry Springer and Oprah Winfrey. With all her success, she still enjoys hearing from members of her fan club. She states, "No matter where I am on the road touring, I always remember it's the fans who put me where I am!" It is this kind of thoughtfulness that can lead to stardom. Don't miss Shyla on tour!

"Taylor St. Claire is a virtual dream come true. She is a pretty little strumpet with long black hair and a very erotic, womanly body. Taylor's 100% natural appeal is all-encompassing from her large and perky breasts to her round and lovely backside. She puts that body through its sexual paces to the utmost whenever she appears on camera. Taylor, a veteran of several adult publications including Penthouse, Hustler and Club International, first hit the adult scene in 1995 at the age of 23 after a lucrative career as a figure model and exotic dancer. She has only appeared in a small handful of sexvids, including several non-sex performances. Taylor showed a very demure side of herself during most of her films, preferring the security and safety of solo masturbation scenes to the wild and uninhibited hardcore sequences that dominate the business. With one look at this molasses-headed beauty, you will be begging to see more of her each and every day!"

Harold writes: Dear Luke: Should anyone really be surprised that Playboy Playmate Tishara Lee Cousino has been escorting for big money? Here's a Q & A entry from her Playmate of the Month spread in the May 1999 issue of Playboy:

"Q. Are you looking for love or one of its substitutes?"

"A. Part of me wants to find my soul mate and fall in love. Another part just wants to - wow! - I want to date. I want to date different men and experience new things. I'm really torn. I guess I want that perfect story. I want to be in love. I want to be successful. I want it all."

IF I COULD FIND A SITE THAT TOLD ME ABOUT THE PORN INDUSTRY WITHOUT THE PREACHING AND RELIGIOUS MANTRA, YOU WOULD DISSAPEAR FROM MY COMPUTER, AND MOST OTHERS.

Porn star Ruby writes: Luke, I sucks to be interviewed about porn, afraid of being judged, my tummy sometimes does flip-flops too. I'm leaving at 7 in the morning, and the last chance clearance sale lasts till then. It's a little picked over but still worth it!!! I'll call you 2 days after I get home, I must sleep for 2 days, to recharge. 35 isn't that old, and you have plenty of time to achieve what you want, and you'll be virile till 60, hell, you don't even have to feel rushed anymore. Your birthday ho, Ruby

Heather Barron writes: What's your drug Luke? Smoked Lox? I'm always hearing people mention porn stars and drug use in the same sentence but is this merely a myth because the adult industry carries with it an assumed lifestyle? Just because someone is sexually out there, doesn't mean he or she has used, is using or has even tried drugs. Any solid evidence or admissions? Care to go out on a limb and make a list of admitted users, recoverings, deaths as a result of...etc. etc.? Those caught in the act....List the star and the drug of choice and the status.

Ian writes: Hi Luke, I tried to see the 'explicit pictures' of Racquel Divine that you posted yesterday, and was transferred, by your link, to Yahoo Clubs. After activating my YC membership I was transferred to the relevant page, which appeared only to provide links to discussion of someone's meeting with Ms Divine. I tried, unsuccessfully, to find the pics that were referred to, but only managed to get on to one of those endlessly recurring sites, linked to a dialer. This one had the added inconvenience of not even allowing me to escape it by coming off the net - I actually had to reboot the computer to get away! And I've still not seen the pics!

Christie writes: Hi Luke I have been a big fan of your site for over 3 years now. I love the photo links the best. I am a huge Jenna Jameson fan. Odd, since I am a gal, but she Rocks. What is up with her tattoos?? Seems each time I check her out in Club mag she has a new one. I would die to meet her. But anyhow, I was wondering how you find out about upcoming porn conventions? I would love to attend one and check out everyone in real life. Are there any coming up? I live in Nor Cal (Santa Cruz).

Luke says: For the most complete listing of coming porn events, check out AVN.com.

Who Owns Crazy Horse II?

XXX writes: Who owns the Crazy Horse II strip club in Las Vegas? A Vincent Farachi with Rick and Sonny. But Vincent takes the skim out of it. Vincent is good friends with the boss of Philadelphia, Joey Merlino. And Ronny Lorenzo from the Bonnano family who ran a pizza place in LA. Actor James Caan put his house up to get him out of jail. Ronny just got out of jail.

Ken Gallo and porn star Tabetha Stevens used to meet capo Loui Gefuso every Wednesday morning for breakfast at Jerry's Deli on Topanga.

Tabitha Stevens married Don Osterholt six days after getting a divorce from Ken Gallo.

Porn star Logan LaBrent writes: "Luke regarding XXX on Who owns Crazy Horse Too.I've worked at the Horse Too Chicago and currently in between shoots in LA, at the Crazy Horse Vegas. I know Rick and Vinny very well. Rick is the owner and there is no mafia(Bonnano/Merlino) involved at all with either of them. XXX should get his facts strait before talking smack!"

Ron Jeremy, Tina Cherry Star In Chutzpah! The Shmooale Glick Story

I just watched a fun 24-minute short produced by a friend of mine, Lucas Meyers, about the rise, fall and rise of a Hasidic Jew in Hollywood. I give it two thumbs up.

It's a spoof of the all-too-familiar biography TV shows with all those "guilty pleasure" elements you know and love. There's overnight success, misfortune, death, redemption and lots more in this tale of a Hasidic Jew from Hancock Park who dismisses his father’s wishes to become a rabbi and is then lured by the Hollywood dream to become an actor. After many ups and downs, he succeeds and becomes the Burt Reynolds of the Hasidim. (Party of Five's Scott Wolf and porn legend Ron Jeremy star.)

Kyle Bradford Says Goodbye

Writer Cindi writes: Luke, Check out KyleBradford.com he's leaving the business because of the Tom Cruise lawsuit. It just went up, you can scoop everybody.

Kyle Bradford writes on KyleBradford.com:

-When you choose to give your heart to someone, make sure they are worthy of receiving it. I have committed to two people in my life, one a woman the other a man and both were BAD decisions. In the end both lied and "sold me out", one for money and the other for publicity. Because of what has happened I've become a much better judge of character.

-Never under any circumstances allow yourself to be used in a relationship (whether it be a friendship or love relationship). If someone tries to use you, don't rationalize it, RUN the other way... Trust me on this one.

-The tabloids lie! Until this happened to me, I use to think they had a sliver of truth to them - WRONG! They will print whatever "a source" tells them, even if it is totally untrue. Do not purchase these trash papers, your better off reading a novel, at least novels are well written.

-This is my final thought and probably the most important "The truth shall set you free." This is what has helped me endure this very difficult time.

Luke Feels Like A Wet Rag And His Tummy Hurts - 'I Just Need Someone To Hold Me'

I feel like a wet rag and my stomach is in knots... I went to lunch with a journalist from the Jerusalem Report...he's doing an article on jews in porn...and he kept firing questions and comments at me all lunch, with his tape recorder running and I have indigestion... I'm worn out... Sheesh, so intense... What I get for giving an interview to a jew journalist...

Anyway, Chaim could you and Fischel Teitelbaum contact Sheldon Teitelbaum, sheli@earthlink.net (from Jerusalem Report and Jewish Journal Los Angeles) to give him the scoop on all this...and what my end game plan is... He can't figure out why i'm wasting myself on my fushtunkener site...

Meanwhile, I'm going to go lie in the sun and suck on my orange popsicle.

Rumdar writes: But Levi, haven't you always been an anti porn crusader? The way you risk life and limb to expose the underbelly of crime in this sordid business is nothing short of heroic. Who else is out there taking on the Westcoast, Eastcoast and Australian Porn Mafias? Yet you worry about what the members of your shul are saying about you. Ridiculous. Anyone who takes the time to read your site knows you are an honorable sort whose only interest is making this a better world to live in.

I will even go as far and suggest that errrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Exposing these porn trollops by printing their real names is a clever ploy to get them out of the business. Perhaps Mom or Dad, Sister or Brother will contact them and urge them to give up sex and drugs to return to the classroom and earn their GEDs. Decent jobs at H.E.B, Starbucks, Dairy Queen and Arby's await these misguided harlots if they will only get off their backs and back into the classroom. Goddamnit! Sometimes I honestly believe you deserve some sort of prize. Oppsssssss! Dinner (fresh stir fry) is ready. Gotta go.

Luke says: I'm now working on a strawberry popsicle.

Rachel writes: Yes, right, your life is heavenly, delightful, perfect, there would be no source of stress, no conflict to tie your stomach into knots if it weren't for that awful Sheldon Teitelbaum...He's the problem!!

Luke says: I'm now working on my baked potato with cottage cheese for protein. Sheldon Teitelbaum says the Jewish Journal has a new managing editor - Amy Klein (of the Forward and the Jerusalem Post). I wonder if she's single and hot looking? If so, would she be willing to hold me until the pain caused by her reporter goes away?

Dianna writes Luke: If you are developing your ability to fit into a community, thank porn. The only community that lets in every misfit that wants in. Including yourself.

Yankel writes Luke: Conversation about you with my friend Sarah while shooting hoops yesterday:

Sarah: How's Levi?
Me: Okay.
Sarah: Does he have a girlfriend?
Me: No, do you have any ideas?
Sarah: No, but me and Chana are working on it.
Me: Oh, yeah?
Sarah: Uh-huh.
Me: Like what kind of girl are you thinking of?
Sarah: Somebody not too normal.
Me: What!?
Sarah: I don't mean anything bad -- just, Levi needs somebody like... well, somebody... different.
Me: Actually, you're right.
Sarah: Of course I am.
Me: Can you be more specific?
Sarah: We think Levi's looking for temperature.
Me: Temperature?
Sarah: Y'know, hot. Someone really good looking. Bow-wows need not apply.
Me: Right.
Sarah: But she also has to be smart. Has to be able to argue with him. Levi likes to argue.
Me: Not argue, Sarah, he likes to discuss things.
Sarah: Daddy, Levi likes to argue, even Chana says so. So he needs a shidduch with a biiiiig mouth.
Me: Anybody ever tell you that you're a really smart kid?
Sarah: Yeah, but not as often as you probably should.

What's Up With Chasey Lain?

Joshua writes: Do you have any scoops on Chasey Lain? Like what the hell she is up to? I know she quit the biz and moved with her b/f, who I heard was in House Of Pain. Not Everlast, right? I don't know, if you have heard anything good, pass it along, please.

Luke says: Chasey Lain took a year off to raise her newborn son Thomas. She is now under contract with Vivid. Chasey's working out now to tone up her body. She will soon come out with her own line of videos marketed through Vivid.

Flashman Calls

Porn middleman Flashman says: Luke, about 100 people come down to Torrance Sunday night for Bill Margold's big charity scholarship bowlathon. Kiss, Tina Toy, Jen X, Selena Steele, Selena Del Rey, Anita Cannibal and about 80-90 male fans ponied up $25 for charity.

Tabitha Stevens showed up to the Viper room Sunday night on Sunset Blvd. They promise that every Sunday night they will have a porn star at the Viper Room. That's where River Phoenix overdosed on drugs and died.

Saturday and Sunday is the annual Glamourcon at the Wyndham Hotel in Los Angeles next to the airport. Many girls like Kristina St. James have their own booth. A lot of porn stars go because all of the adult magazines are there. Hugh Hefner and his entourage go every year. Porn stars tell me that they were thankful they went in years past because they got layout work.

My Date With Rabbi Suzy Gadol

Or, was it all a wonderful dream? It must have been. Events like that do not occur in this capricious world .

Rabbi Suzy Gadol is an internationally famous Reform woman rabbi. She has appeared in hundreds of photo spreads and dozens of mostly soft core videos. Recently she appeared in two XXX videos and has published three books of Responsa on Jewish Law. I've followed her career since she started and have a collection of her work.

You see, Suzy is an all natural, very large breasted rabbi, beautiful, and in great shape. She exudes womanliness and health. She may be the most sought after "big-boobed" rabbi in the world today. 'Score' and 'Voluptuous' have had her in their magazines, continuously since she started about nine years ago as a teenager. Suzy has just started escorting through Nici Girls, (www.nicisgirls.com) who work with Adult Star Fantasy (www.adultstarfantasy.com) in arranging her schedule. Both agencies are very competent and very busy.

In my dream, when the door opened, there stood Rabbi Mistress Gadol in the flesh . Her adorable smile and spectacular figure disarmed me, and a mature, experienced, accomplished gentleman became weak in the knees. In person, this angel of my dreams, was tender, caring, sensitive, interesting, highly intelligent (and educated, she is a degreed Dr. of Holistic Medicine), at the same time being beautiful, cute, seductive, and romantic. Treated tenderly and lovingly, she responded with a GFE that was awesome. I was captivated by her for the entire dream.

Rabbi Suzy is not tall ( my normal preference), being 5'3" , but this actually adds to her allure. Nature and good habits have combined petite with curvaceous/voluptuous. She has beautiful shaped legs with muscular, prominent calves, a flat abdomen, and the loveliest set of natural ta-tas I've ever experienced, in life or dreams. And, she is one of those even more unique ladies that loves to have them fondled, squeezed, kissed, and caressed, all with TLC.

Our time together was hypnotic for me, being a truly romantic experience. All regular exercises were tried with safety equipment employed. Rabbi Suzy is all natural and doesn't use a razor . What a grand delight and change from most American models (Suzy is French and resides in Paris). She is multilingual and loves to hear and speak the Hebrew language. Since I studied that language in high school and college, I was delighted to speak to her thusly, for an extended period. Such a mellifluous and delicious language. It was a true two way conversation for quite some time.

Other languages were practiced with great feeling and virtuosity. It was a grand coming of two quintessential lovers. Afterward, we cuddled and talked about this week's Torah portion, and laughed with each other. My dream was coming to an end, but I wanted it to continue. I hope it will come again.

Was the experience with Rabbi Suzy worth it (world class, all natural, angelic European rabbis are very expensive )? Yes, it was a once in a lifetime meshing of spirits of two individuals with similar tastes and desires. A most blissful experience and a memory to be cherished to the end.

Pamela Anderson Settles With IEG

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Pamela Anderson has settled a lawsuit over another sex tape she made with an '80s rocker, her lawyer said Wednesday. The porn company Internet Entertainment Group agreed to pay the actress and Bret Michaels, lead singer of the band Poison, a seven-figure sum and destroy all copies it acquired of a homemade sex video featuring the couple.

LAPD Sees Blue Over Cop Spread

Today's Los Angeles Times reports on a cop who shows all in the July issue of Playboy:

Ginger Harrison picked the props for her nude photo session for Playboy magazine with great care.

After all, the last police officer to do so, from New York City, was fired because she appeared in her official uniform.

So Harrison, a Los Angeles Police Department officer, made sure she didn't repeat that mistake. The 28-year-old Santa Clarita resident is believed to be the first sworn LAPD officer to shed her clothes for Playboy magazine.

The magazine features a six-page pictorial of Harrison posing nude with police props provided by the magazine.

"I hope the [Police] Department looks at this in a positive way," the Foothill Division veteran said. "Maybe it can bring us into the 21st century, where women don't fit a stereotypical role. Lighten up. It's just nudity."

The LAPD has called on the city attorney's office to determine if posing for the photo spread violates department policy in any way, said Sgt. John Pasquariello.

New York Police Department Officer Carol Shaya was fired after she used her own police equipment to pose in Playboy in 1994, said magazine spokesman Bill Farley.

Luke says: I listened to Dennis Prager, one of the world's great moral thinkers, on his nationally syndicated radio show today. He favored the LAPD firing Harrisson.

Dennis said: "The problem is that she posed nude publicly. If she and her husband had attended a private wife swapping party and never publicized it... But was simply found out by some newspaper, I would defend her. A couple of years ago, this happened to some teachers in Florida. There was a married couple who attended swingers parties. But they never publicized it or told it to their students. And I was actually angry that it was reported. I didn't want students to know. And I defended the teachers right to do what they wanted privately.

"This woman is not posing privately or anonymously. She posed nude as a member of the Los Angeles Police Department. How does the police department comport itself publicly? Playboy is not using her primarily because she's good looking. But because she's a member of a police department. The point of Playboy was to get a naked policewoman. Naked women are a dime a dozen. Naked policewomen are not a dime a dozen.

"Playboy identified her as a member of the LAPD and which department. And because this is public, it is the public's duty to react. If she were a waitress and Playboy did a layout on the gorgeous waitresses of Duluth, who cares? The Duluth restaurant would probably be thrilled. They'd get more patrons. If she were a secretary or actress, there'd be no discussion.

"Let us say she was a member of President Bush's cabinet, would this be irrelevant? Of course not. Do we want certain professions to maintain a certain level of dignity? You could say there is nothing undignified about going naked but of course there is. Would you walk down the street naked? What if a police officer decided to carry his gun and nothing else? Would that dedignify the role of the policeman? Of course it would. And the fact that it is in pictures doesn't really change it.

"I am stunned that this is a big debate. That the LAPD just don't know what to do.

"If I posed naked, would you think that would reflect on my work? Of course it would. Would you take me as seriously? Of course not. You don't need King Solomon to decide this. Does this act of posing nude in Playboy enhance or detract from the dignity of the police department?

"Not only that, it has to undermine morale. Let us suppose she's part of a duo in a patrol car with a male officer. What is this guy supposed to think when he has just seen the July issue of Playboy? Do you think he is thinking mostly about, 'Gee, how do I get the next robber?'

"How can she be viewed as anything but a sex object by her fellow officers because she has decided to so portray herself? You can't be a sex object and a policewoman at the same time. That's the issue.

"To me it is a no-brainer. Of course she should be fired.

"Of course some guy will recognize her. There are guys who study these models. The women say they are recognized years later. You're a policewoman on the beat. And the whole battle was to have women taken as seriously as men as police officers. Which was not an easy battle as men are more intimidating...

"What if a guy sees her in a patrol car stopped at a red light and he walks over to her and says, 'Hey, can you sign your breasts here? I've got a great picture of you naked. Could you sign it for me?' Does that enhance the ability of the police department to do its work?

"Can a fellow officer say to this woman, 'God, I love your breasts. You have gorgeous breasts. What a set of boobs you have.' There's no doubt that the man would not only be fired, he'd be made an example of male evil. Why? He's only commenting on her picture. What if he brings it into the police station and shows it around? He's dead meat."

Satyric writes: Yes I'm sure the male police officer who has just seen his partner in the July issue won't be able to think at all about the "next robber". His crime fighting brain would be totally overcome by this and he would be unable to perform his duties in anyway. This is opposed to the officer who finds out that his partner attends swinger parties, of course it won't effect his "thinking" in busting the robbers in any way.

Bryan Sullivan writes GeneRossExtreme.com: "They'll get her on something, LAPD that is. If not only just for her bigmouthed tirade, "I want to shake up the "male-dominated commission", she said. When are women gonna learn to shut the f--- up, especially when working in a MALE-DOMINATED commission. She was probably clear of any wrongdoing, until she opened her dick-empty mouth. Another example of an angry woman, trying to force her way in where she doesn't belong. Be seen, not heard, whores! After my prediction comes to pass she'll be out of a job and sucking dick on tape for you-know-who.

"MEMORANDUM TO WOMEN: shut up, don't talk, unless spoken to; eat dick, suck dick, and drink dick milk; take it in the ass, the ear and nose, and don't complain; cook and clean; have babies; be strippers, porn whores, waitress, nurses, and secretaries. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER, women, that if you're in control - your're in a lesbian relationship, and your boyfriend/husband is the DIKE."

How Big Is Porn? Numbers Wildly Inflated

I notice that AVN has yet to comment on or rebutt this devastating article on Forbes.com about the true size of the porn industry.

Forbes journalist Dan Ackman has yet to receive any reaction to the piece which would cause him to reassess his figures. He did get a few emails from online pornographers who told him that internet porn is much bigger than a billion dollars a year. But none of them could substantiate their claims. AVN's managing editor Mikey Ramone did send Ackman an angry email but it contained no substantion of AVN's claim that the video industry runs at over four billion dollars a year. Forbes suggests the number is closer to one billion, perhaps only $500 million.

Journalists Need Your Help

Emmanuelle Richards is writing an article for Online Journalism Review (OJR.org) on frequent misconceptions in the mainstream media about the porn industry. She wants comments and insights from members of the industry. Please email her at emmarichard@earthlink.net.

Emmanuelle Richards writes: "The story is about how the mainstream media portrays the porn industry: the myths of the porn industry, the difficulties in debunking them; what stories are never told and should be, personal experiences of adult professionals with the mainstream press, bad and good. I'd love to hear from people, even if it's to hear that they don't care about the mainstream press coverage to start with. Maybe that's why I haven't received many answers from porn professionals I've contacted yet (I'm ready to take some heat from Brandy Alexandre again). It's funny because many mainstream journalists I've talked to think Variety and other media should do a real coverage of the adult business and treat it like any other beat. Just talked to Frank Rich, it was interesting."
