Happy Birthday Brandy Alexandre
l-keford.com would like to wish frequent contributor and former XXX star, Brandy Alexandre, a very Happy Birthday! For those dedicated fans who let this important date slip FEAR NOT for Ms. Alexandre has a wish list posted at Amazon.com. Happy Birthday Dear Brandy! {Note: Conspicuously absent from Brandy's wish list is Luke's book, "A History of X" ! A closer look at Brandy's picture reveals why.}
Chaim Amalek Woos Chaunce Hayden producer Jamye Waxman
Gus Hall writes: Recently apprised of the impediments raised against social union between Chaim Amalek and the Jewess Jamye Waxman, common New York Jews are circulating a petition to urge that antisemitic forces be frustrated in their machinations against this union.
Drafted by a well known personage of West End Avenue today the mimeographed petition contains an important statement which calls for frustrating the antisemitic/neo-feminist forces' moves against the social union of this jewish pair or other form of sexual congress.
Noting that the forces of lesbiananarchofeminism, which are chiefly responsible for the division of these two, is interfering in the Jewish people's issue of endogamy and throwing hurdles in its way, the petition continues:
"Anarcho-feminism is escalating its campaign for confrontation between jewish men and women in a bid to strain the situation in New York and eliminate the Jewish People in favor of onanocide.
"If the Jewish people yield to anti-endogamous forces pressure, vacilliate and wave before difficulties or abandon confidence and backtrack from the road chosen by themselves for endogamous union, they will not be able to rise again. Nothing is more servile and mean than accepting the brigandish will of the lesbian in heterosexual affairs and currying favour with them, and doing so will only invite subordination and ruin."
Calling for decisively foiling the aggressive offensiveness of liberal lesbians against the jewish people and social union by the concerted efforts of the whole people as embodied by Chaim Amalek, the petition goes on:
"Now is the time for all the fellow Jew in Hollywood, Manhattan, Israel, and the Media to firmly unite as one for the Jewish nation's genetic security and interests and the independent union of Chaim Amalek and Jamye Waxman (or other simulacrum), not arguing about differing ideologies and systems of weights and measures, politico/sexual views and belief but rising above them."
The petition has been signed by numerous important personages.
Luke Gets Mail
Fred writes: So Luke--what do you do when you get a letter from some woman seeking an entre into the whirling twirling word of porn? Do you try to disuade her, or to you steer her to one of the agents? (Or do you see if you can try her out first?)
Luke says: I usually don't attempt to disuade because I know it will not do any good. If they ask me my opinion of whether or not they should enter the industry, I always say no. If they insist, I refer them to www.worldmodeling.com. And no, I never attempt to try them out first to see if they have the stuff of porn stars. If I was only acting for myself, sure, I'd be tempted to try out these dainty morsels. But as I am a role model and a moral leader, I must say no.
Dino writes: I worked at a few Jewish sleepaway camps on the east coast, are they as prevelant out west? Do you get caught up in the seeming tiny details of Judaism? Like the separate serving vessels for dairy, meat, and holy day meals? Also, since I was unable to comment on her web site directly, could you pass along to Asia Carrera that I think her website is great. And I hope the rock bands that she spent those years worth were at least good music.
Luke says: I get caught up in many of the details of Judaism such as putting on tefillin and observing the holy days. I don't have separate dishes because I am a vegetarian. And I am willing to eat off any dish, even one that has had treif (non-kosher food) on it, so long as it has been thoroughly washed.
Noah writes: Luke, Dasha, Dyanna Lauren, and Kelsey were on tonight's (7-16) Stern E! show. Something about Gary the Retard (Stern regular) directing a Vivid movie. None of those girls were directed by Gary in sex scenes. Dyanna still looks great. And Dasha could have become a legit fashion model. A little too late for that though.
LT writes: Luke, good job on the Nicole London interview. I realize she is limited in what she can considering the court case. I also realize how long it can take cases to wend their way through the courts. Hang in there Nicole, you rock!
As far as I'm aware, Nicole London, Rachel Ryan and Erica Boyer are the only porn women to perform in videos after having their implants removed. Too bad some of the dumb ass frat boys out there can't get past media stereotypes and understand what's really gone on. They've already decided that after implant removal these women's tits look like they've been hit with a weed whacker and hang to the ground. Check it out, learn and get over it! (though I shouldn't be too hard on you guys...after all that's all you hear in the media)
It's interesting to read when breast implants come up in these interviews on your site Luke. It's nice to know that some of them haven't been pressured by agents or producers, but some that give you the answer of "I got them for myself" have been. Worse yet, some of them tell you they weren't pressured. But, fear (both of career and bodily injury) and intimidation keep many from speaking up and telling the truth.
EPMag writes Luke: I haven't found anything related to HOM inc in your site. I think it would be quite interesting to read anything related to them. Their old loops are extraordinary material. In Europe (Scala/)Gold Medal (biggest distributor for bizarre sex, animals, scat, fistin, sm,..) has released some videos of that old material. In in USA Alpha Blue of course.
Kenny writes: Luke I have always been a fan of interracial (black man-white woman) videos. I have many many videos, but haven't bought any in the last couple years (I have gone to amateur videos). Since I have not been "in the loop" for several years, I am considering going back to mainstream videos.
I always hated Sean Michaels. He just sits there...no intensity. I always liked Lex Steele, Mr Marcus...my favorite was actually Tony Eveready...I really loved to see those beautiful white women with him...he had a nasty streak which made him a favorite of mine... Luke are there any new black studs out there...who love white women?
Are there any beautiful new white actresses in the last couple years (love beautiful blonds) who LOVE black guys? Particularly those actresses who love them without condoms? (condoms are the main reason I switched to amateur vids). Which studios should I be looking for?
Ron writes: Hi Luke, I was just shopping around for a copy of an older movie and saw your site. I have two questions for you if you are the right person to ask. As a porn writer you should be able to steer me in the right direction even if you cannot help me.
Question 1: Do you know any companies who sell older movies? I wish to purchse a copy of "Rear Admiral" in its original uncut version. When I saw this movie the lesbian anal scene was cut out and I am partial to lesbian anal sex. From what little remained of this lesbian scene I know I would like it.
Question 2: Why is there so little lesbian anal sex available? Even the all-girl, all-anal films have little anal sex in them. I have burnt out 3 VCRs fast forwarding past the boring stuff. Even when I find a lesbian anal scene it is not to my liking. I prefer scenes with only 2 ladies having anal sex in a quiet setting. I do not like scenes with loud screaming, wild music or sex-for-the-sake-of-sex mentality. I enjoy scenes with a plot such as one woman teaching another. This is why I want to see Rear Admiral in its uncut version.
In 10 years of watching porn I have found very few scenes that I liked. Over the years my tastes have changed in regards to porn. First I liked any sexual scene. Then oral sex became the favorite. After that it was straight anal. Now I prefer lesbian anal. I do not like to see other men having sex although Steve Sweet makes films I have enjoyed. I hope that you can help me.
What's Wrong With Jewish New York?
Chaim Amalek writes: The article just does not quite make the case. If you don't like going to that temple, then don't go - there are others. Or you can date nice Christian girls, if you can. These tend to be much nicer than jewish women (and better looking, too), hence the high rate of intermarriage. What the author meant to say, I think, is that the real attraction of NY is that "if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere" ie, making it here is a hell of a lot better than making it in Portland. But what people fail to see is that making it in Portland would be a hell of a lot better than NOT making it in New York, which is the fate that awaits 99.5% of the population.
Dating jewish women, to get back to my main topic, is indeed a dispiriting thing, as any born jewish man can attest. They demand so much, yet offer so little in return.
As for his critique of the orthodox, I keep returning to that massacre in Poland of jews by Poles in 1939. Why were these jews so hated that they were beaten by hand and then burned alive - too easy to blame it all on the RC church. (And NO, I am not saying "they had it coming".) Perhaps because they kept to themselves, save for the chance to sell booze to the goyim? The chassidim are simply nuts. They all should move back to Poland, and recreate their precious shtettle world there.
Luke Awakens In Horror
I awoke in a cold sweat at 1AM Tuesday and looked at my life in stark terms. I remembered the numerous loving families that I've met during my seven years in Jewish Los Angeles. And I realized how I'd alienated myself from them, largely because of my choice of subject I write on. I've exiled myself from polite society. And I go through my life wondering where are the really cool people. Do I have to settle for socializing with the dregs of society?
The fact remains that the type of people I most want to belong to will never accept me as long Luke F-rd writes on porn. And the fine families I know who love me, but do not yet know of l-keford.com will know soon as the articles about me in The Jerusalem Report and The Jewish Journal hit the stands.
My choice of subject exacerbates destructive tendencies within me towards misogyny, shock and hate.
Throughout my life, I've placed myself on the margins of community by choosing to act and write in socially inappropriate ways. So little has changed since I first entered school in second grade.
I fell asleep before 3AM and had my first dream in weeks. I dreamed that I had been given a show on Playboy TV. Then, while delivering the show, I realized that it was not being broadcast. It was just a setup to appeal to my narcissism.
David Moye writes: Hey Luke: I'm a quality cool person and I think you're a decent chap from what I've read and our brief business-oriented conversations. I think your problem is you're in L.A. I know at least one nice Jewish girl who would go nuts for you but is fairly kinky in private with the right guy. Look at me: I'm a tabloid journalist who was a former 900 psychic but I'm marrying a quality woman in three weeks. Why? Because I allowed myself to admit to myself what and who I am and accept the flaws but vow to be aware of them. Prozac helped too. But what I'm saying is, you might be in the wrong city, or, you're so convinced there's no one out there that you're carrying an invisible wall that prevents anyone from getting too close. Anyway, if you need a friend, let me know. Also, you may want to check out San Diego if you need a life change.
Frank writes: Luke, I was up late contemplating everything in my life right now when I was compelled for some reason to check your site. Lo and behold you wrote about your current state of mind. Maybe it's something in the stars that's making everybody a little more intense than usual?
I would advise that you place utmost priority on how you conduct yourself in this turbulent world. Whether others accept you or not is of secondary importance. Of course, maybe I'm saying that because I've always found acceptance difficult. But my point is this: That is a factor which you cannot control no matter how hard you may try. What you can control is how you act, how you treat others, and what you contribute to the world around you.
Now, before you get depressed by that last part, let me offer this thought: If one person in the porn world, by reading your site or talking to you, was influenced to take a second-look at their life and in doing so decided to leave the industry, then you did good. And what if you don't change anything? Then your heart was in the right place, and I simply believe that the powers that be in the universe can sense that...and that it's good all around. Get some sleep.
Internet Gossip
XXX says: There was a big backlash against Lee Noga for her new posting board f---edmaster.com. The people pissing back and forth are Lee and Dokk on Netsurprise.
Webmasters hate anonymous posters on these posting board, posting damaging information but not standing behind it. And Lee's new site gave these hateful people a new medium to hurt people.
Lee Noga is respected and admired. People think she should know better.
There have been more Cease and Desists sent out from lawyers in the past six months as webmasters get a handle on how to control internet slander.
Both Lee and Dokk are on Ron Levi's payroll. But everyone knows you can't control Lee Noga. She has strong opinions.
Dokk is normally low key and mild mannered, in many ways the opposite of Lee. Sometimes Dokk will be like you and write things just to provoke reaction. Dokk called the Private Label Resource jocks unqualified. They asked Dokk what made him such a know-it-all.
Lee Noga writes Luke: Catching some flack, "yes" because some "players" are judgemental, over reacting, and see no value in what they perceive as a "negative" to the business. I am insulted and they can go "f--- themselves". They also suffer from post Luke F-rd traumatic stress syndrome thinking this site is a pointed gun which it is not. Aside from a few people the masses find it very entertaining, and the community can determine its success which as of today is quite favorable to the site concept :-)
Flan writes: Luke: What's the deal with this [webmaster] Kevin Blatt character? I saw him at a Perfect Ten party Sat. night at Joya in Beverly Hills with the pornstar named Houston. I recall seeing him all over your site about a year ago when he was "dating" her, and promoting her labia surgery. I also know of him through circles I run with in the internet business. I would love to meet the guy someday face to face seeing as though he sent my girlfriend flowers.
I heard that Houston got married in January, is she already playing around on her hubby? They looked awful cuddly in that VIP booth, and Houston was showing off her new tattoos for the entire restaurant to see. She had a huge blue butterfly on top of her ass, and a tattoo that said "John" on her arm. Could she possibly be inching her way to a new tattoo on her other arm? I mean "KB" is only two letters! LOL.
I must say she looked wrecked, tragic how some porn stars loose their glitz very fast. She appeared to look washed out as well. It also appeared that she had lost a lot of weight. Perhaps she is on the Chaisy Lane diet?
Now speaking as a Bi- man, I must say that "KB" is a good looking guy, he's smart, he's very connected, and very much a "player" in the industry, can't he do better than her? I saw him at the Internext every day with a different gorgeous girl on his arm, he appeared to be very cuddly with them as well, what gives KB do you have a huge cock?
Kevin Blatt responds: To answer your reader's question. Me and Houston happened to be at the party together, coincidentally she was having dinner across the street with friends and bumped into me. I did not take her out for the party or on any "date" for that matter. She is a married woman and I respect that. I am happily single for the moment, that is unless you can arrange a "s---ach" with some nice girl Luke. And yes, my cock is enormous.
Twack writes: Hey Luke, just wanted to tell ya - in response to Flan's email regarding Kevin (KB) - I was at that party last Saturday with a female friend who, upon seeing KB, looked at me and said "Ugh - there's that KB guy. Can we get outta here before he sees me and I haveta deal with his bulls---?"
He's got a rep as a player, but yanno - his game is weak and he needs to go home and practice... I mean, c'mon - pop-up banners *inside* the members section of Houston's website? Get him a Webster's and have him look up "integrity"...
BTW - talked to Nicole Sheridan today, seems as though she's in litigation with Kevin Korey over his failure to follow through on her website, even though she'd paid him four grand up front. Something about too much partying with the ex-drummer of some 80's hair band, I dunno.
Kevin Blatt responds: Just for the record Luke, I have absolutely NOTHING to do with any of Houston's websites. Her website is handled by JMM or Jeff Miller of SunDownmedia.com. If Mr. Twack did a NSI "whois" he'd see that. The only website my company has is http://www.herbalhouston.com. She is a pitchwoman for our Herbal Line of Sex Tonics (R). Last time I checked there was no pop up windows on that site :-)) Just some hot pornstar. Man, what a genius this guy must be.
"Integrity"? Ask my friends about my integrity, I put my integrity above all else in this biz. Sounds like another "Player Hater" in the bunch, I really could care less what Mr. Anonymous has to say, all I know is if his girlfriend saw me and wanted to hide it was because I most likely f---ed her :-)) Put that in your pipe and smoke it Mr. Twack Twack.
Emmanuelle Richards On The Perils Of Porn Journalism
French journalist Emmanuelle Richards wrote this great piece on porn journalism for OJR.org.
She writes Luke: I was surprised by the reactions. Not a single one insult but many messages of praise and kind words from the editor of Inside.com, guys from the New York Times, journalists, and a former dean of journalism school... People connected to the porn industry or keen observers saying: at last! I was really surprised. I guess they had missed Ackman's story and all the good work scattered around on websites, from yours to Wired. But of course, no reaction from porn pros except for the always alert Rodger Jacobs. A PR guy for a portal for adult webmaster said that, to him, everything in the story was true: Ackman's deconstruction of the 10 billions, the difficulties of porn sites and this was nice to hear that. KPCC called my editor saying they wanted me on their "Air Talk" show with Larry Mantle on Friday, we'll see. I need to pass the "thick accent test" first!
A reader brought up an interesting question: he couldn't read the story from work and couldn't visit your site either because of a bloody filtering software. He had to use some tricks. Whelen told me that he had to give up reading your site from work, because of the "cheesy banners" (remember that one?") I wonder if there is a way to fool those filters.
Luke says: Go to www.l-keford.com/text.htm and skip the banners.
Nicole London wrote 1/21/01: "Luke; I often read your site. Retired as a performer but still working actively behind the camera I am appalled by the recent concern on interracial production. Why must we take a step back, next we'll be meeting in parking lots again and not disclosing out shooting location to performers. Are we so concerned with the political climate that we as an industry which fights so hard for freedom of speech will let them once again dictate to us what we are allowed to film. We have just entered a new century and of course new political views but are we going to allow what so many people fought for years ago be swept aside and dismantled. As an industry we are already segregated from the rest of civilization are we going to promote segregation amongst ourselves (I thought that segregation was abolished in the early 60's). I for one would be more concerned with fisting, triple anal, and foreign objects then wheather or not Mr. Marcus is performing with a Caucasian performer. I would hope that the industry would not let ourselves fall victim to this ignorance."
Luke says: It is refreshing to receive email from a college graduate who correctly spells and punctuates. I was so impressed by this email, that seven months later, I phoned Nicole at home.
Luke: "What are you doing these days?"
Nicole: "I work as a producer and production manager for Wesley Emerson, Andre Madness, Nick Pinkowski of Ultimate... Andre shoots for Hustler and Video Team."
Luke: "I hear you're doing an excellent job."
Nicole: "I hope so. I like it. I like being behind the camera. I've always been in business. I have a college degree. I was vice-president of a computer company. I ran a fabrications company. I was in front of the camera for ten years. I always said I would retire before aage 32 which I did. I wasn't going to do it when it was not fun anymore. And it was just not fun anymore.
"I'm six months pregnant with my second daughter. I don't gain weight when I'm pregnant except in my belly. If you look at me from behind, I don't look pregnant."
Luke: "What happened with your breast job?"
Nicole: "I had a breast job go bad in 1994.
"The first thing I would suggest to anybody contemplating a breast job is to get information on the doctor. Make sure the doctor is board certified and find out if there have been any complaints lodged against the doctor.
"I'd rather not mention the name of the doctor who did me in 1994 because I am in a lawsuit against him. I was supposed to get 400ccs and I woke up with 720ccs. They were supposed to be saline and they were silicone. I had problems with them. I went back to the same doctor and he reduced them.
"I was in the middle of a scene for a 3D movie and one of my implants proceeded to break through the skin. I went to the hospital, got rushed into emergency surgery, and had them removed. And then went into reconstructive surgery."
Luke: "That must've been expensive."
Nicole: "Fortunately I'm one of those girls who saves money. I don't live day to day. I had money put away.
"I'm not against implants if you are doing it for yourself and no other reason. I feel that if a girl goes in and become an F cup, that's ridiculous.
"I was an A before surgery. Then I went to a DD. Now I'm pushing a D cup again. Without being pregnant, I'm a full B. I have nothing in there now. There's an amazing doctor in Encino who did my reconstructive surgery and my emergency surgery. I have no scars. He went through the original incision. He moved muscles around and filled everything up with my own parts and I'm 100% natural. I love them and they look great. I filmed with them afterward.
"I've been and out of court since 1995 and have won everything unanimously so far. They say the process can take up to ten years. It's not even the money. This doctor should not be practicing. He's not even licensed. It's gone from a state case to a federal case."
Luke: "Every girl I talk to says she is getting implants for herself."
Nicole: "That's not true. The question I'd like to ask them is, 'Would you get it if you were not in the business?'"
Luke: "Why do most porn girls get implants?"
Nicole: "They see all these girls on the boxcovers with big boobs, the hour-glass shape. The industry promotes them. Years ago, they were promoting the really big boobed girls. They're not doing that anymore. I have shoots now where they won't use girls who are not natural. I think that if the girl doesn't do it for herself, she shouldn't do it at all. And if she does do it, go with something proportionate to her body."
Luke: "Is it common for producers to pressure girls to get implants?"
Nicole: "I was never pressured. I've never seen anybody pressure anybody. I know there are a couple out there who do do them and pay for them. And the girls wind up huge."
Luke: "Yeah. Mark Carriere."
Nicole: "I didn't say it. But if they're willing to go through it, more power to them."
Luke: "Do girls talk to you about these issues?"
Nicole: "I've had a lot of girls talk to me about it over the years."
Luke: "To what do you attribute your success? You've lasted ten years in the industry as a performer. Many girls get chewed up and spat out."
Nicole: "Because I enjoyed it. It wasn't that I did it for the money or for the dancing or because I was abused. I had a normal childhood. If you're enjoying your scene, it projects on to video. And if you're not having fun, it shows. And the fans see it."
Luke: "Did you dance on the road?"
Nicole: "Yes, but I was featuring prior to getting into the industry. I slowed down when I did come into the industry and I didn't do as much as I used to."
Luke: "Back to your breasts. Do you have any sensitivity left?"
Nicole: "When I got them done, I lost sensitivity. Then when I had them removed, I had no sensitivity for a year and now they're more sensitive than they were originally."
Luke: "Did you breastfeed your first child?"
Nicole: "No, I couldn't. My milk ducts were cut. Which is fine by me. I just think it will make them sag. I don't want that."
Luke: "You'll happily work in this industry indefinitely?"
Nicole: "I love this industry. There are some really good people in here. I've made some lifelong friends. The industry has been good to me. It's not what people perceive it to be and I hope that it continues."
Luke: "What do you think of some of the stuff that Extreme Associates puts out?"
Nicole: "If somebody is on a set and they agree to do something, and they totally know what they're getting into, then, yeah, film it. If somebody's in the middle of a scene and says stop, then you stop."
Luke: "How often have you seen that?"
Nicole: "I only saw one thing, and that was on the internet. A girl was telling a guy no and he continued. Nobody's ever done anything to me that I didn't want done. About two years ago I filmed for Extreme. They didn't do anything to me."
Luke: "You've never seen on any set you've been on, a woman doing something that she doesn't want to do?"
Nicole: "No. If I see something on a set, and a girl is saying no to it, I will stop the scene. I've walked into a rougher scene and I thought the girl was hurt. And I stopped the scene. And it wasn't just that she was hurt. It was just her way of moaning. I'd never worked with her before."
Luke: "I've been on a 100 porn sets and I've never seen a girl forced to do anything she wasn't willing to do."
Nicole: "Over the years, you have girls [Olivia] who say, 'Oh, he did this. I told him no and he raped me.' Yet they went back and worked with him again. Does that make sense?
"I had one girl call me crying from a set. She was in hysterics. She said they were spitting on her and slapping her around and she didn't know anything about it. She was a nervous wreck. She was supposed to work for me that day. I told her it was fine if she didn't want to work for me that day. But I didn't want her going home this way. You just come here and talk to me.
"She came to the set. I had no intention of letting her work that day. I had a long talk with her and she watched us film and do three scenes. And she goes, 'Wow, you guys don't do anything wrong.' I go no. This was your average set. I calmed her down and she decided she would work."
Luke: "Have you seen a pullback from shooting interracial scenes in the last few months due to the so-called Cambria List?"
Nicole: "I noticed for a while that interracial had slowed down but I've been shooting it again. I know that Nick Pinkowski shoots interracial scenes. For a while, it went to all black or all white or all asian or all latin. That's ridiculous. If you get a girl like Asia Carrera or Mia Smiles doing a scene with Lee Stone, that's an interracial scene.
"One thing that got me upset about that list. It said don't put black men with white women. But it's ok for a black woman to do a white man?
"I know there's not as much as there used to be."
Luke: "Have you seen the Cambria List affecting production in other ways?"
Nicole: "For a while. I don't see it anymore. For a while, you can't have any facial cumshots. You can't do ass to mouth. You can't share the same dildo. Part of my job was to see to it that that wasn't happening. But it's lightened up a lot."
Luke: "Do you detect fear in the industry?"
Nicole: "If you're going to start putting all these stipulations on your new stuff because you're afraid, know that they are not going to go after you for the new stuff. They'll go after you for the stuff you've made over the years.
"There are always scares in this business. Every couple of years we go through it. Somebody gets busted and raided and everybody goes into a panic."
Luke: "Remember the HIV panic in 1998?"
Nicole: "I remember all of them. I remember the first one [in 1993]. I was put on quarantine for six months. A girl who showed up as HIV positive worked with Johnathan Morgan who worked with Leena and Tina Tyler. Then Leena did a scene with Steve Hatcher and Tina Tyler did a scene with Tony Tedeschi. And then I did a scene with Steve Hatcher. All in the same movie. And we were all quarantined for six months. We all came out fine.
"This was before they even had PCR DNA tests. When we only had the Eliza test and we were only doing it every three to six months.
"It all comes down to this - people need to check tests. When I'm on a set now, nobody will shoot a scene unless there's a test physically in my hand. And if it is expired by a day, go home and I'll replace you. I'm not going to be responsible if something happens. I'm for choice of condom.
"The industry is so much bigger than it was. It's not the same people on set every day. You don't know what people are doing after work. Considering how many videos are put out a year, we've been really lucky.
"AIM is doing a great job. Sharon [Mitchell] needs some help. It is talent's responsibility to show up on a set with a test. It is not the responsibility of AIM to fax it over. Every time you make a fax or a call, they don't have enough staff over there to keep up with everything. And then people going in and getting their test done the day before they're supposed to be on set. And some of the tests get pulled and are re-run and don't come in until 5PM."
Luke: "What about other sexually transmitted diseases in the industry? What is your sense on how damaging and prevalent they are?"
Nicole: "Any venereal disease is damaging. I was fortunate. I got nothing. I got a call a number of years ago and I love them dearly for this. I did a scene with Woody Long. I got a call a few days later from Woody's girlfriend Celeste saying that Woody has chlamydia. You might want to get checked out.
"I've been with my same OBGYN [obstetrician - gynecologist] for the past 12 years. I go right to my doctor. I didn't get it. From 1993 until I retired as talent, I had full scans done every three months and never caught anything. I know there's stuff out there going around.
"One thing that gets me upset is how people talk about herpes. They talk about it like it is the end of the world. But herpes is something that is not contagious if it is not active. But many people think that if a person has herpes, he is actively contagious forever. Which is not true. So they give a person a hard time and get them fired from sets and refuse to work with them because of it.
"I was in the middle of a scene a few years ago for Patrick Collins. It was me, Tiffany Mynx and another gentleman. And we looked down at the guy's dick and it was red. And it had a scar on it. And we told Patrick we're not doing it. So we turned it into a girl-girl. The guy went to the doctor. Found out what he had. Got fixed and was back to work a week later. When a girl's going down a guy, she needs to look. When a guy's going down on a girl, he needs to look. If there's an odor, don't do the job. Go to your doctor.
"I know my body. I know if I have a slight change in odor. You know if you have a yeast infection. I see girls all the time working with a yeast infection. Come on guys. Go to the doctor. Get the one day pill. It's gone in four days. Is it worth spreading it around to everybody or would you prefer to just take the day off.
"I have respect for talent that call me to say, 'Hey, I just came back from the doctor and I found out that I have something.' I'm not going to stop using them.
"It's not only you that you have to worry about. You have to worry about every other single person that performs in front of the camera. And their spouses. There are a lot of people involved. And if people just took simple little precautions. Went to their doctors, got checkups regularly, got problems taken care of..."
Luke: "How do you let strangers know what you do for a living? And have you noticed people's reactions change over the years?"
Nicole: "I live a really normal life. I don't do the party thing. I never really did."
Nicole's daughter yells in the background.
Nicole: "I live a really normal life. When I date guys, I let them know I've been a porn star before we have sex. I've seen their demeanor change when they find out. And you know what? They can just go away because it is not me. I am not Nicole London. That's who I am in front of the camera."
Luke: "And when you meet strangers, what do you say you do for a living?"
Nicole: "I tell them that I am a production manager. I also do mainstream. My good friends know that I was talent and I do adult. I think it has become more societally acceptable."
Luke F-rd In The Jerusalem Report
There's an article on me in the July 31st Jerusalem Report, now on newsstands. I can't find a copy though and it is not online. Anyone got a copy?
Rob Spallone thanks Gary and Dynamite, Nakita Denise, Brooke Lane and other porn stars for helping out at his booth at Erotica LA. With AVN, Rob's putting on a contest where people can write their own porn script (up to ten pages), enter a raffle, and the winner gets flown to Los Angeles to direct their own porn movie.
Ron and Jim DiGiorgio go to Playboy at 7AM Tuesday to do an edition of that lame show Sex Court. Later in the day, Rob and Jim shoot two scenes for their next Fat Dog lesbian movie. They plan to use Kylie Ireland, Zana, Nikki Steele and Kristi Love, Phyllisha Anne, Carrie and Lola.
Luke: "How did your wife like Erotica LA?"
Rob: "She don't like that stuff. I just took her because we had to run to the airport to pick up a girl I've known since childhood. I came back at 2PM with Brooke Lane. Brooke looked good."
2:45PM.
Luke: "What's going on?"
Rob: "Nothing. I almost had a heart attack. The FBI came walking in. I swear to God. And I just went through that two months ago. They weren't looking for me. They were looking for some black guy that gave this address. He's not in the industry."
Jim comes on the line.
Jim: "Hey buddy."
Luke: "What's going on?"
Jim: "Nothing much."
Luke: "Oh, just the FBI stopping by. That's routine at your office. Who were they looking for?"
Jim: "I don't want to say. A friend of mine. I've known him for three years. He hangs out here sometimes.
"The FBI agent was very nice. He really startled me because he was wearing a blue blazer, khaki pants, loafers. He looked like Jay Shanahan. I expected a three piece suit."
Luke: "What did the FBI agents wear two months ago when they arrested Rob?"
Jim: "Suits. And they didn't arrest Rob. Just brought him in for questioning."
Luke: "Are you going to dedicate any of your movies to [Los Angeles prosecutor] Deborah Sanchez?"
Jim: "I think Deborah Sanchez did our business a great service. She once again illuminated what will get you in trouble and what won't. You thought the FBI were coming in here for me?
"Rob was in the back office. The FBI guy came in the front door. It goes ding ding. Rob sees the guy in the security monitor. He didn't know who he was. Rob asks, 'Who's there?' The guy doesn't answer. Rob repeats himself. No answer. Rob says, 'I'm loading my gun.' The guy came back and introduced himself and showed his FBI credentials.
"Luke, you love it when the FBI show up here, don't you? Even when it has nothing to do with nothing."
Luke: "I love it. It just confirms my worst suspicions about you guys."
Jim to Rob: "I know we have to be at Playboy at 7AM. Do you have your lines down?"
Rob: "I'm getting there."
Jim: "Rob's been working on his lines all day long for Playboy. He's got a big role tomorrow. Ten pages of dialogue. They've been calling they're so concerned he's not going to memorize it. They said this is the longest case they've ever done."
Rob: "It's been hard to concentrate with all these beautiful women in my office."
Luke: "What did you learn at Erotica LA?"
Jim: "I already told you about the rich pornographers building booths while children starve."
Luke: "Any comments on your remarks?"
Jim: "No. Everybody must be afraid of me. Nobody comments on anything I say, no matter how outrageous. The only person who says something to me if they don't like it is Russ [Hampshire]. People just think I am a comedian so they don't me serious. I was joking around with the FBI agent.
"It looked like there was big turnout from the public [for Erotica LA]."
Luke: "But it was dull, dull, dull."
Jim: "You're looking at it from a jaded professional perspective. Maybe all those people had a great time. Twenty five thousand people at $15 a piece is good. I learned there are more women getting into porn. I saw more women as attendees than I've ever seen before. Maybe we need to cater more to that audience. Maybe less sticking flags up asses and raping squaws."
Luke: "What do you think of Thomas Zupko's latest?"
Jim: "They're pathetic attempts to stand out from the crowd in the only way he knows how by using shock instead of good filmmaking and eroticism. He says that he wants people to sit back and think while they watch his movies? No, people are supposed to sit back and jerk off, asshole. They're not thinking movies. If he wants to make thinking movies, tell him to try to make it in real Hollywood. Go pay your dues there. Don't try to turn porno into thinking mode, oh, we're supposed to try to understand the underlying forces to drive Tom Zupko to shove a flag up a girl's ass.
"It's a very competitive business right now, more competitive than it has ever been before. And you need to find ways to stand out from the crowd. And if you can't do it by making a higher quality movie, you do it by making a more shocking movie."
