Porno, Drugs, Murder

I hear that European porn powers Scala (huge porn distributor based in Holland, perhaps the world's most powerful, frequently linked with international drug trafficking, money laundering and organized crime) and Beate Uhse (Germany) are going public. They would follow in the steps of Europe's other big porn power, Private, which is also widely believed to have links to international drug trafficking, money laundering and organized crime. Reuben Sturman partnered with Scala for years. Ron Braverman lived in Europe overlooking the operation.

Many people suspect Scala of playing a nefarious role in the September 1995 fire that virtually leveled the Doc Johnson plant in North Hollywood. Then someone blew up a bank in the Cayman Islands. Law enforcement speculates that the two events amounted to a last battle for control of Sturman's remaining empire. According to insiders, three major factions fought for control of the porn industry, and the retaliatory bombing targeted a place where a significant amount of one of the faction's assets resided. The bombing concluded the struggle, and the three groups - one of them headquartered in Paris - agreed to divide the international porn market into equal shares. (What Wild Ecstasy p. 371-372)

When Luke searched for "Charles Geerts" through Netscape search engine, all the links were in Dutch. Can anyone help translate and give Luke the Scoop on Geerts?

Charlie Geerts, Reuben Sturman's old partner, is the heavy behind Scala. Charlie is the most famous European pornographer ever. Porner Perry Ross, late husband of Angela Barron, lost his life in Amsterdam, the biggest city in Holland. Ross's death was officially ruled suicide but many suspect drugs and foul play. Ross at the time oversaw Mark Carriere's enormous operations.

In 1998, veteran porner Sydney Niekirk, a Dutch Jew, won a $five million lawsuit from Carriere over Mark's fraudulent European operations.Scala and Beate Uhse want to enter the American porn market. They have the dollars, and Scala at least has the total lack of ethics which will enable it to feel right at home with American porn scum.

Former Reuben Sturman lieutenant Ron Braverman, who probably stole Doc Johnson from Sturman while the porn godfather was descending to Alzheimers, stole, I hear, millions of dollars from Charlie Geerts and Scala by skimming (during the 1980s) the peep machine returns. Braverman, like most of his porn peers, has the ethics of a salamander. Mark Carriere, I hear, did not learn his lesson from his legal loss to Niekirk. Carriere recently tried to f--- his European distributor Mark Franks. And just like with Sydney, it appears that Carriere is going to lose millions of dollars. Carriere sent Mike Kovaks to Amsterdam to establish a distributorship.

South China Morning Post

HONG KONG has become the focus of a five-year Dutch money laundering and tax evasion investigation linked to a series of murders, drug trafficking, pornography, and millions of dollars in allegedly dirty cash. But a hearing last Thursday to gather evidence in the complex case was postponed until May 5, after defence solicitors Haldanes called for more time.

The investigation revolves around alleged tax evasion by Dutchman Charlie Geerts , who runs the largest pornographic business in Europe and who was arrested last November. His company, Scala, based in Holland where pornography is legal, is also under investigation, as is a Hong Kong company believed to have been used as a front to launder about $100 million since 1988. His co-accused is alleged bagman Ricardo Reeberg, who was arrested on March 23. Reeberg's detention coincided with the arrival in Hong Kong of officers from the Fiscale Inlichtingen en Opsporings Dienst, the equivalent of the Inland Revenue Service in the US. A source said profits from European drug trafficking were brought to Hong Kong and laundered through the company here, then wired back to Holland as large loans for gang members. A Haldanes lawyer said the May 5 hearing would seek to "set aside the order for an examination" which, if approved, would block the line of inquiry in Hong Kong. A team of Dutch investigators, including a judge, a prosecutor and a detective, are continuing the Hong Kong probe, which stems from the murder of one of Britain's "Great Train Robbers" and one of the largest drug seizures in Europe.

Charlie Wilson, who was one of the masterminds of the 1963 great train robbery, was released from jail in 1978 and became involved in drug smuggling. He was shot dead in April 1990 at his villa in Spain. Wilson was believed to have been killed by former south London gangster Roy Adkins, who had teamed up in the 1970s with Dutch drug baron Klaas Bruinsma in a syndicate that moved large amounts of hashish from Pakistan to Holland and on to other countries.

Millions of dollars worth of profits from the operation, which smuggled drugs into the UK in cars on cross- Channel ferries, was laundered through banks in Hong Kong over several years. Five months after Wilson's murder, Adkins, 41, was shot dead in Amsterdam by two gunmen who have never been traced. Bruinsma, identified in Dutch newspaper reports as the world's largest hashish smuggler, was shot to death in June 1991. Bruinsma linked up with Adkins to set up a global network using companies set up in Pakistan to ship the drugs to Europe in containers of textiles and souvenirs. But a plan to smuggle a massive 45,000 kilograms of hash into Holland in 1990 failed when the consignment, worth 135 million and known as the Big Mountain, was seized by Dutch police. The gangsters fell out and a shooting match erupted at a sex club in Amsterdam, although neither man was injured. Investigators believe Bruinsma was eventually killed because he became a liability to his own syndicate. A disgraced former Dutch police officer, Martin Hoogland, was convicted of his murder in June 1993 and another killing, and was sentenced to 20 years in jail.

Deep Throat writes Luke:

Here's the truth, the whole truth, so help me God….

Sept. 7th, 1998 10:06pm - An Email message is sent to us from a Edgar Reyes, Ed for the remainder of this article. He said he was the president of AEG, Adult Entertainment Group, Inc. He was in development of a very huge Adult website. We get email like this all the time, but what made this interesting was that he was actually trying something new in adult websites at the time…but now is becoming the norm if you look around. He was working exclusively in Flash/Macromedia technology. It was new and interesting and he had a knack for some interesting graphics. But, he was also doing something totally new, by not just making an interesting opening you sometime now see on sites but a whole site in the Flash format. It really was impressive. We ended up meeting him and he seems like a nice guy, totally naïve with the adult industry, living out of his brothers garage working on his site and snagging software from his brother. His brother works for a major software company. He wanted to finally make a name for himself and thought he should enter his site in the AVN/IA2000 awards coming up. He felt that would make him. And kept asking us about AVN. We just said me careful who you go to bed with, cause you will regret it later. They will steel your ideas for their site if they get the chance, so just be careful we said. He said his ultimate plan was to create a browser, similar to AOL but formatted for adult sites. A one stop interface that would have all the major players on this adult interface. He designed something to this effect at:

www.adultonlinenetwork.com

I think it's still up. He said he would make it with the prominent presence of AVN on its start up menu. We said that should help in the awards since most at AVN are so vain. Of course, it was pretty slick and we never doubted his talent, just that he was like a little child walking into this VERY grown-up world of adult, we knew he would probably get swallowed up after winning some of the major awards at the show.

December/January 1999: At this same time, a major outcall service called Society X was looking to develop a website that would blow away their competition like exotics.com, thatmall.com and all the other outcall services that advertise heavy in the back of LA Weekly and the likes. They went to Don at Atlas Multimedia first and being the honest guy that he is, he told them "I got nominated for Best Graphics at the AVN/IE200 awards show." Well that wouldn't do, they wanted to know who won. And that's how Ed comes back into the picture. He is so floored that someone finally wants him to design a site he does everything they say. They fly him to parties all across the state and into Las Vegas for the big Pimp & Ho Ball and he's like a kid in a candy store. Loving every minute of it. They then did the gesture of what he had wanted all along, to go to Vegas for the CES show and meet Paul Fishbein to personal pick up his award from him. That's pretty wild, they didn't even send it, but had it there for him and to "take a meeting with Paul" before the AVN awards show. It's funny, we passed them all in the hall after their meeting and we were onto "taking our meeting with Paul" but for coverage clearance. Their whole trip lasted maybe 4 hours and they had to get back to LA to get things in order. We asked what they were talking about and Ed said he would call us to let us know what happened at this meeting.

Late January: We get a call from Ed to come and see our new offices. We said "our offices?" He said to come down to 6345 Balboa Blvd. Suite 26 in Encino, that we had to talk. Fine, we're curious. We meet at this very nice office building that's still setting up shop. Ed's there with the guys at Society X. We all introduce ourselves and get down to business.

They wanted to let us know that all them have created a company together called "King Tut Productions". It would be a development company of internet ideas. Creating high end websites and making Society X it's major client. They figured since they already make $1.5 million a year from their girls they could get all the business now taking over the advertising on the internet away from all the major players. The heads of this new company was a guy named Jason who along with his partner Jeff Dettloff started Society X. They hired on Ed and now had this internet/development company called King Tut Productions. Under this company banner, they would create "Pharaoh Media" and get into broadcast advertising. Big ideas for such a new company we thought. They said they could do it cause they were getting all their girls to advertise with them on the new site they created at:

www.lavip.net

They kept mentioning how big they were getting even without the help from "Vegas people". Something about them trying to take over their LA area. Mob stuff I guess. Now mind you, Ed is a newbie to the adult work and he was just impressed with these guys with there girls, limos they came in to work all the time and the money. And they had Ed by the balls. When he wanted to move out of his brothers place, they said "no problem Ed" and would pull out a briefcase filled with stacks of $5000 stacks. Give him two and say here's the first and last month rent on an apartment. I don't think he was even getting a salary working for these guys, just cash whenever he needed it. So he was totally into these guys and they kept saying they had some big plans. They wanted to be bigger than IEG with their contract girls bringing attention to their sites, like Chasey Lain, Taylor Hayes, Jenna Jameson and the likes. They were going to do the same thing and needed our help since we knew the girls and could "persuade them". We said we could only ask and the choice would ultimately be theirs. They said they already had an in with a major girl brought to them by one of their future employees of this new company. We asked who. They said Darren, editor at AVN. We asked if AVN was in this business and they said after their meeting in Vegas, Paul called and introduced them to Darren and to his wife. Paul wanted to work with them so they would make a site for him to help him move all of his videos he gets for his stores, I guess the chain is called Video Xcitement, in the valley and on the westside. He then would have Darren get them girls for their super site they kept talking about. Darren brought in Misty Rain. In exchange, they would have to make a pay website for his wife to hock all her junk to sell. All this weird bartering! In return Darren would get them more girls to represent.

The King Tut guys had everyone convince they would be the hot s--- on the block, with help of the main guys at AVN. The two top guys in fact, just weeks after the winning of the IE/2000 awards, and just after flying out for a meeting with Fishbein at the AVN Awards show. They even were getting some free ads in AVN promoting Misty Rain as this big superstar of the internet, even though we mentioned to them that she was the flavor of the day…4 years ago. How we were involved with all this was that they wanted us to head up their "TV Production" unit, creating commercials and later internet TV shows for their sites. We said sure if it had a check. They then mentioned, could we work under Paul Fishbein. We said we thought he was just getting advertising for them and girls through Darren. They said, "In six weeks, we are going public, under a different heading and as KTUT on the Nasdac, as penny stocks." That was their big idea to get the girls to work for them. They would offer them 1000 shares of stock to sign on them with them and they could retire with all the money in the stock market they were going to make. Well, they didn't tell them they were penny stocks. So if they were lucky to make a whole dollar after awhile they might make $100. Not much huh! They said they could get the income to create this TV division from all their investors, most in a Canadian firm that wanted to start investing in adult sites but couldn't come out and say adult, since the Nasdac no longer excepts such sites, and also with their new number one investor…Paul Fishbein. We said what? They said, "Fishbein is going to invest $100,000 to get into this venture." They now had all this seed money supposedly coming in, besides what they were making from their Society X girls and from all the girls advertising on their sites. We saw the invoices and they we're starting to bill out $13,000 a month and were to make all these Casino sites for $300,000 each. So they said they were ready. We were to still make the show but they would sell advertising to everyone through it. We said we would give it a try since it looks like they were making money, until I started talking to Ed. He was working 20 hour days for them, no weekends and totally burned out to keep up with their plans, and he was a 1/3 owner of this venture. Yet, they went home ever night at 7pm and had nice homes and Ed was sleeping on the couch at the office. This started to scare us a little bit. And when he said he wasn't getting a salary yet, cause it was a "company just starting out, and we have to make some sacrifices." We didn't want that. We already have lives and don't need to sacrifice anything. We were just about to back out of everything, when they called us into another meeting. This time to tell us they had Fishbein on the Board of Directors and that he was now going to invest $200,000! We were in awe. Didn't know Fishbein has that much funny money to play around with.

At this point they still didn't have Misty's site up and it had missed it's April deadline, then it's May, and now is June one I bet. Check it out. I don't think it still up yet, and probably never will. We gave a contract we were willing to work with, since theirs said they would basically own us and our children's children forever. Well they didn't like that and totally cut us off and stopped calling us. Even after we did ALOT of legwork on getting them info on how to go about starting a production company. We did keep out some key information though that they will never understand about television production and that will keep them in the dark for quite awhile.

I emailed Fishbein about his involvement about the company and his assistant emailed us back the next day. (Mind you, Fishbein has NEVER returned one of my emails before. I would email a letter every day for weeks till a tech guy asked me to stop). That's was the general policy there, not to talk to us guys, in reference to something Gene Ross did to us a year ago, but that's another story. So when we got a response back, it was a shocker. She told us that all the info was false and he was only asked to be on a board of directors when they went public. But we said who works for free on a board of directors without being an investor. She wouldn't answer any more. Since then, things have really quieted down at the offices of King Tut. Don't know if it was the email I sent to Paul and he got cold feet or what. You can call the guys there and say you are doing a news story and try to get info on your own, should make for a very interesting ending to this whole thing.

Luke had this IM conversation on AOL with another source:

Porner: BTW, everyone seems to think that I am the one that told you that Jenna referred to Dominic Acerra (Dr. X) as "her little nigger."

Porner: Oh. Figured AVN made you type your last update, handwrite a suicide note, then offed you!

Porner: Although the company appears to be going down in flames, so I don't know if it would still be much of a story.

Porner: A company you mentioned on your site before.

Porner: LA VIP ..escort operation.

Porner: They were trying to expand into netstuff and cable and Paul Fishbein, AVN publisher, was one of their main bankrollers.

Luzdedos1: paul fish funded them?

Porner: He jumped on board as "consultant" right about the same time that he and AVN were giving them two of the main awards at IA2000 earlier in the year.

Luzdedos1: oh boy, great story

Porner: He was in for about 100k, from what they told us.

Porner: They were planning on going public on the stock market and he was buying in on the IPO.

Luzdedos1: when did i mention la vip and in what context?

Porner: They run one of the big escort services here in LA.

Luzdedos1: oh boy, yes, what is their url?

Porner: They are all over the back of LA Weekly and have a site: www.la-vip.net.

Luzdedos1: ok

Luzdedos1: great stuff

Porner: Paul was also sending them porn chicks, who they were trying to sign up to do their sites.

Porner: Only Misty Rain was foolish enough to go with them.

Luzdedos1: Did they have the porno chicks flipping tricks?

Porner: Although they still haven't been able to get it together and open her site.

Porner: It went from the LA VIP guys telling us that he was buying in as one of their partners to Paul's secretary telling us that he was being paid by them to consult.

Porner: Oh yeah, one other thing.

Porner: Paul made them hire on his assistant's wife.

Luzdedos1: Darren Robert's wife allison?

Porner: That guy that bilked AVN at Halloween, Darren something or rather.

Porner: Yes.

Porner: That's her.

Luzdedos1: hmmm

Porner: Apparently she is quite the load and is drawing a free check from them since Paul told them to bring her on.

Porner: I was reading the stuff on Gene's site a while back from Scotty Schwartz.

Porner: Although Scotty is a buddy and he makes me laugh, I had to laugh at his ass-kissy letter that he sent Gene.

Porner: It reminded me of the year that Scotty was up for Best Non-Sex role for the Christy Canyon movie "Comeback".

Luzdedos1: yes

Porner: We saw Scotty that night at the Awards show (the one and only time I will ever sit through that f---ing thing).

Porner: He told us confidentially before the show that he wasn't nervous at all because he was told he had the award in the bag.

Porner: I asked him how he knew and he told me that he had been plying Gene with expensive silk shirts for the three months before the awards.

Porner: The funny thing is, he didn't win.

Porner: I asked him afterwards about it and he said that he was going to rat out Gene but who was he going to tell it to.

Porner: These were back in the Dark Ages, before the advent of Luke F-rd, mind you.

Porner: Ironic that now that you are here and could have told Scotty's story, now you are the rat f--- and Gene is a respected member of the porn world.

Porner: In Scotty's eyes, anyways.

Porner: So when you next see Gene running around in those God awful, pimp looking silk shirts he wears, you should ask him "My God, does Scotty Schwartz dress you?!?".

AVN publisher Paul Fishbein says that the above information is so far from the truth that it's nauseating. And that if I print it, AVN may go for a libel suit. This time, if they do it, AVN won't ask for a retraction, they'll just go for it. Paul says that he has not invested a dime in the company. He was asked to be on their board of directors. All of my information is otherwise f---ed up or completely convoluted.

Paul writes 6/1/99: "Again, most of this information about me is wrong. What these guys have done and said, I obviously cannot answer for. There must be a bizarro Paul Fishbein world in an alternative universe where I do things. Again, I cannot answer for Ed or Jason or anything they do and say. They do not work for me. I have not invested one dime in their company. I do not consult for them. I have never sent them one girl. I have never been involved with or privy to their deal with Misty Rain (never even discussed it with her or Chad). They asked me to be on their board of directors when they went public. I said I was interested and that if I had any money, I might invest (see how convoluted things get) just as I would any other interesting stock. Never met the guys till after the internet awards (voted on my experts n the internet field and not us). After that, my partners in my store business made a deal with them to do a site for my stores which are all in Pennsylvania (promotional site, not a mail order site) which hasn't happened yet (our fault, not theirs). They went to Philadelphia and dealt with one of my partners. Don't even remember meeting with them in Las Vegas (met with them here), but who knows. By the way, my assistant never told anyone that I was being paid to consult. Not only is it not true, she wouldn't be able to comment on it. That is all. Now please leave me alone."

AVN Rips Off Talking Blue Site Design?

A source associated with www.talkingblue.com writes: "Gene Ross was just a super dick, because, when we decided to do our website, we were called by then internet editor for AVN, Teena Touch. She said that AVN wanted to do a feature piece on our website. You see, we made a prototype of the site that ran for 6 months for this company, and it was the talk of the industry. We had actually did something that beat AVN. It was an adult industry site, much like the one we have now, but we worked on it daily! Ever day we had fresh photos and news, much like you do. At the time AVN still had a VERY boring monthly site, and only monthly articles that has a head story, a couple of reviews and that's it. So everyone was clawing for our site, and we were getting monster hits and AVN heard about it from everybody calling them and saying how "it was like reading AVN but on the net." Well, I guess that cheezed somebody over there. At this same time, our six months contract with the web site provider was ending and we decided to do it ourselves. We were designing the site as you see it today when we got the call from Teena. She said Gene Ross wanted to review it personally and if we could send him the URL's. Well, the site wasn't up but we said we could send him the sample pages of the site. He even called personally to tell us he was doing the article and that he would take care of us. We did it, and low and behold, 3 weeks later, AVN went and had a major push for their site and now it looked exactly like ours, with daily reviews and news and the layout was also similar to ours at the time. Gene never called us back and Teena was "fired" from her position. That was until they started the AVN Online magazine and now I hear they hired her back. The whole thing stunk like s--- and we trust AVN with a gun in a school."

Gene Ross Backs Down on Kid Vegas Story

On Thursday, 5/27, www.geneross.com printed comments from the ex-girlfriend of Kid Vegas, saying Kid Vegas was a child molestor, on the run from the law and other derogatory comments. I informed Kid Vegas of this early Thursday afternoon. Kid Vegas promptly phoned Gene Ross and threatened him with a lawsuit as well as with physical harm if he did not delete the comments. Gene promptly deleted the comments.

Sindee Coxx Threatens Scoop Luke

Friday evening, 5/28/99, porn star Sindee Coxx left this on Luke's answer machine: "Mr. Luke F-rd, this is Sindee Coxx. Remove any and all information you have about me on your website, negative or positive. I am waiting to file a class action lawsuit about you, a slander lawsuit against you and a libel lawsuit against you. Also, a malicious intent lawsuit against you. These will all be class action. I am not going to be the only one. You will be put out. Remove all information about me. Anything about the Jasmin St. Claire incident which is not proven. It's not true. How dare you put my name and address on the internet. That is illegal and you know that. You've been reprimanded before by several people in this industry and it is about time that it is going to stop. Remove the information. Thank you very much." Luke has usually had good relations with Sindee Coxx. Her call came as a surprise. Then I remembered the last two calls I got from Jasmin St. Claire. The first one, about two weeks ago, complained that a "Brenda Grislaw" with a PO Box address in Northridge had been leaving harassing messages on her answer machine. And that Jasmin was going to kick her ass. A few days later, Luke wondered if Brenda was the real name of Sindee Coxx. Wednesday evening, Jasmin phoned Luke about Sindee.

Luke: "What did she do to you exactly?"

Jasmin: "She was saying 'leave my man alone, you AIDS infested whore. I'm going to come kill you. You f---ing bitch, you better stay the f--- away from my man, you goddam AIDS infested whore.' Stuff like that, it makes sense. I think she's very jealous of the girls who go in [to be photographed by her husband Scott Preston]. I've spoken to several other girls who feel the same way, that she is very unfriendly towards other female talent. "It would never prevent me from doing business with Scott. I want everyone to know that. It's a shame that she has to get so immature. "She left these messages on my answer machine and my voicemail. It was stupid of her to leave them on my answer machine because I have Caller ID. It blocks any anonymous calls. So either way, you have to *82 your number before you call me. "He [Scott Preston] pretended to not know anything about it, just to protect her, which I think is wrong. I'm not even going to reveal the source who confirmed this today. I feel sorry for him that he has to deal with someone like this in his life. He's successful, smart and a damn good photographer."

Luke: "Have you talked to her?"

Jasmin: "She's denying it. Someone else had a talk with her and I confronted Scott last night."

Luke does not intend to remove any information about Sindee Coxx from his website. Luke has never published the home address of Coxx or any porner.

Jenna Jameson writes: "Hey Luke, looked at your site and was happy to see that everyone has taken it easy on me... I was very surprised that people actually came to my defense...Made me feel all warm and yummy inside. Just wanted to drop you and all of them a line, and say THANX!!!!!!! Love, J.J. xoxo"

Modelmgmt@aol.com (probably Shane Tyler's hubby, a VP for Randy West Productions) writes on RAME (newsgroup rec.arts.movies.erotica):

By seeing everyone in RAME bulls---ting back & forth about what they like or dislike about either Mr. [Randy] West or Mr. [Ed] Powers, I'd like to give you guys (and gals) some inside information as to what is happening, both on & off camera, between the two producers.

First of all .. Sales. Although AVN [Adult Video News], which is currently undergoing allegations of being biased in favor of it's advertisers from with the industry, has noted in it's Top Sales & Rental Charts that Ed's videos are doing better than Randy's, in actuality (and according to their respective distributors) Randy's "UP and CUMMERS" outsells Ed's "Dirty Debutantes" by over 1,000 pieces per title/release [this figure does not include reorders].

Secondly, Ed has been accused by Randy (as well as other pro-am & amateur producers) that he [Powers] is bad-mouthing fellow producers and making false accusations regarding their [the other producers] practices. For example, Ed is telling all new potential female talent not to work for Randy as he splits his scenes into segments and doesn't pay for the additional scene. West says, "Some of the scenes I shoot run a little long and I only have 2 hours & 20 minutes on each tape, so in order to avoid having just one or two girls featured in each video I usually continue the longer scenes in the following volume." He [West] continues by adding, "No producer, pro-am or otherwise, pays extra just because a scene runs long and everybody, including Ed, has continued or re-used a scene in their compilation tapes." It has been reported within the industry that Powers has paid girl/girl-only performer Felecia to spread these type rumors about Randy; however, West states that he pays no attention to such gossip.

Next, Ed has been overheard bragging about his new talk radio show (heard on 97.1FM in the L.A. area) and the fact that in the past year the show has gone from one time slot (1am - 3am, Sat nights) to two (just added 12m - 2a, Fri nights); however, what has been kept under wraps is the fact that Mr. Powers is buying this radio time (both shows) and the station's P.D. [program director] simply offered the additional time to Powers when another showed was pulled by it's purchasers for lack of interest. By the way, Ed's show has yet to rank (anywhere) in the Arbitron [ratings] books for the area.

As for first-time or one-time girls each of these producers have filmed, within the past ten (10) releases of each producer's respective TOP series [mentioned above] Mr. West has 15 first-time scenes from girls just entering the industry versus Mr. Power's 9 first-time girls. Although there seems to be an even split of one-time girls [who have not continued in the industry], Mr. West has been releasing masturbation scenes of additional one-time girls in his "Real Female Masturbation" series. Keep in mind that Randy is the ONLY producer to ever film Jenna Jameson with her natural breasts and capture her first-ever girl/girl & boy/girl scenes (in "UP and CUMMERS" volumes 10 & 11).

Finally .. Egos! Well if you consider yourself any kind of TRUE porn fan you are already aware that Ed has one of the largest egos in the XXX biz! Hell, even he admits it! On the other hand, West has given praise to Powers for giving him his start as a producer; however, Ed still continues to believe that Randy [a 20 year porn veteran] would not be a name in this business without him [Ed].

There is a lot more going on between these two producers than what is written here, but this is just the basic stuff. I am not trying to make either gentleman look like the "heavy" as I personally enjoy both of their products .. Different girls and different styles .. But obviously Ed thinks he's doing a better job at it where Randy's sales figures speak for themselves. Personally, if you're on RAME bitchin' about their performances then you're watching these vids for the wrong reason!

P.S. - Don't be surprised to see Randy providing an 'ass whipping' to producer Mike South at the next trade show. Reliable sources have relayed information to West saying that South has also been bad-mouthing him to both potential talent as well as fans.

Known throughout the adult video industry and to her countless fans as "Little Miss Dangerous", porn star SHANE TYLER has decided to celebrate her fifth (5th) anniversary in the XXX biz ... BY LEAVING IT?

According to unconfirmed sources, Ms. Tyler will be departing from adult video's 'working ranks' at the end of this year (1999) in order to further pursue her college studies in Criminal Psychology. Shane has been heard telling friends & fans at past trade shows that she one day hopes to become a Psychological Profiler for the FBI. She's also been overheard bragging about the size of her True Crime book collection.

Shane, who has only forty (40) XXX titles to her credit in the past 4½ years, remains to be one the most-liked and most sought-after performers within both the adult video & entertainment (dance circuit) industries. This blonde, all-natural, beauty has been labeled as having one of the "best asses" in the biz, and fellow male co-stars such as Randy West, Luc Wylder & Vince Voyuer have been overheard as saying that "Shane [Tyler] is a blowjob artist! .. She is one dedicated cocksucker!" A title Ms. Tyler seems to be quite proud of.

Shane and husband D.J.X (adult video performer & videographer and VP of Randy West Productions) have recently been seen hangin' around Las Vegas with comedian Carrot Top, and around Hollywood with the members of rock act Godsmack for the taping of their latest video "Keep Away".

Shane Tyler's latest video appearance in Buttslammers 19 features the last of the scenes she has already shot. Ms. Tyler is currently scheduled to return in front of the camera in mid June (1999) for producer Luc Wylder, for whom she made her debut with over 4+ years ago in the original Dirty Dancers Volume 1 (originally titled Ariana's Dirty Dancers), for a new Fallen Angel production and has scenes booked for producers Bruce Seven & Randy West before year's end.
According to more reliable sources, Shane is currently "scouting" offers from select producers to film her first & only d.p. (double penetration) scene prior to her departure from the industry.

Email: "I saw the gangbang chick "Houston" last week at an appearance in the Boston area, and she was the coldest, most impolite bitch I'd ever seen at appearances. They'd forgotten her slicks (8x10 pics) at the hotel, and she verbally berated an assistant for this, at the same time she was posing for a polaroid with a fan. The smile never left her face! ICE PRINCESS...Anyway, the general reception towards her was cool."

Luke received this letter:

You are doing a wonderful job exposing the people in the porn industry for what they really are but there are a few minor faux pas I can help you iron out. I want to start at the top or perhaps more aptly put, at the bottom. Edward Joseph Wedelstedt is the top U.S. man in the porn industry and ranks down there with the lowest of human beings. Heretofore you implied that Eddie W spent time in prison in conjunction with First Amendment issues. That is absolutely untrue. Eddie W spent time in prison for one reason and one reason only, Eddie W is a criminal, thug, lowlife and scam artist. Eddy W was nailed once for trying to cheat competitors, e.g., stealing from their warehouses and burning them down and thereafter he tried to scam the IRS. Certainly it is not unusual for criminals to get together and sublimate both the social malevolence of their crimes as well as their respective culpability in the same. Eddie W likes to publicly proclaim that he did five years for the First Amendment when the truth is that he did five years because he is a hardened criminal! Picture yourself as one of the many convicted felons in the porn industry whom all believe society has dealt them an unfair hand. Eddie W reigns as King of the Over the Hill Gang of Convicted Felons whom control the porn industry. Here is a story I would love for you to print because it has yet to be exposed! Eddie W gets out of jail and, knowing only one way to make a living, continues on in the porn business. Eddy W, a twice convicted felon who owns many stores (more likely between 70-84 as opposed to the 200 or so you think he owns) is extremely afraid of the consequences of the interstate distribution of sexually oriented materials which may subsequently be adjudged to be obscene. Eddie W's huge operation requires a captive distributorship but he is not willing to accept the huge risk, yet, at the same time, his greed will not allow him to purchase from other distributors who may be making a small percentage on the goods shipped to his stores. Eddie W resolves to strike a balance between greed and fear and subsequently hires recently released ex-felon Don Browning, M&M Distributors. The deal is that Eddie W is both boss and financier and Don Browning is the front man and partner. Now Eddy W secretly gets back a piece of everything he would have been paying to those who were willing to take the risk of being interstate distributors.

Make no mistake, this is part of Eddie W's criminal enterprise. Convicted felon Eddy W hires (buys) recently released convicted felon Don Browning [convicted in the early 1990s for Interstate Transportation of Obscenity along with Susan Conlin, Chris Mann and others at CPLC - California Publishing L… Company] and who does Don Browning hire (buy)? Don Browning hires his recently released former jailhouse lover, convicted felon Mark Suckman. Mark is a consummate conman (convicted for mail and wire fraud as well as evading prosecution by living in Costa Rica) and there is every reason to expect that he will have a long and prosperous career in the Eddie W Criminal Empire.

A few days ago, Rob Spallone "rearranged" Bobby Hollander's desk because Bobby owed him $300. Rob told an investor who was thinking of lending Bobby $40,000 to make a porno to not do that. Rob says veteran shooter Sal Sodano, who's already married to Rita of Factory Home Video, married a 21 year old in Brazil. After five days, says Rob, the girl packed her bags and left.

On Thursday afternoon, 5/27/99, Luke phoned an exec at Larry Flynt Publications to get an invite to that evening's Jailbabes party at the Rainbow. The exec told me that he'd received a memo from higher-ups banning me from all Hustler events because of lies I'd written about LFP. I decide to attend anyway and arrive at its 6PM opening. It's a typical hazy LA day, with filtered sunshine and temps around 72 degrees. Numerous barely clad beauties drive by in posh sports cars. I hang out by the Roxy (rockn'roll club), next to the Rainbow (where I ate dinner with Ron Jeremy and Jasmin St. Claire in June of 1996), and leaf through the latest issue of New Times, waiting for porners to show up. At 6:20, John Bone walks by with Kendra Jade in hand. Colin Malone swings by. Says he's sold his TV show to Bravo, an English cable TV channel aimed at men. Colin's Sleazy Friends will air after the Howard Stern show. Claudio shows up with his buddy Axel Braun, the son of Lasse Braun.

Axel: "Lasse Braun did this movie Possession for Sin City. He tried to do a G-spot scene for the movie. He walks into the scene as a famous European sexual therapist."

Axel imitates how his father speaks: "'Just relax, you are a ravishing young woman and I am going to teach you the secret of the G-spot.' Cut to the other girl outside by the pool listening. And you hear a voice-over the whole time. That's it. Nothing else. You see nothing. Embarrassing. I wish him the best of luck because the more he gets famous, the more in return I get popularity…

"I saw him the other night. I am always glad to see him. If he doesn't talk about business, he is a very interesting person. He told me that he got an interview for a British magazine. They offered him $150. He said, 'how about 100x times more, $15,000. And they paid.' Is it true? I don't know."

A limousine pulls up and Ron Miller, his girlfriend Brooke Hunter, Jon Dough and his girlfriend Monique DeMoan emerge. AVN's Mark Kernes come by and tells people not to talk to me because I am an asshole. Jon ignores Mark. Dough and I have long had a good relationship. Jon has a laconic, truthful and unpretentious attitude. He tells me that Rolling Stone photographer Ian Garrett has a book coming out on the porn industry. And to hide away from porners wishing him ill, Ian has moved. Ian has called Jon frequently to check his facts.

I ask Monique to punch Jon in the face for me to create a good picture, referring to hearty physical fights the two have indulged in over the years. Jon says that Monique once broke his jaw. She learned boxing from her dad.

Kid Vegas, 26, says the big four companies are courting him to do a gonzo line.

Kid Vegas: "Kid Sparkle paged me six times last week. He's all pissed off that I don't return his calls. I told him that I don't have time, I'm shooting my new movie, Kid Vegas Superstar."

Kristin is now 21 years of age, and can legally drink. She's the youngest porn director. I meet bleach blonde sadist Dominic, who walks with a cane. "I made the number one [S-m] movie in the world," he says. "Tales From the Whip. I directed and produced it. It was in the top 10 AVN charts."

Luke: "Do you think those AVN charts are accurate?"

Dominic: "I am so confused. I don't know where they get their facts from."

I meet Stevi Strange, of Xploit Productions, who recently finished up a tribute to the late Joe D'Amato. "I showed rare clips that you can't get anywhere but Italy.

"Jack Baker was my roommate in 1991. I like to combine horror and porno, create sleaze, a porno holocaust. Porno is exploitation and I take advantage of it."

Luke: "What do your parents think of what you do?"

Stevi: "They don't really know."

I meet Julie Meadows, who's done over 100 videos during her nine months in porno. She stands 5'6" with long blonde hair to her waist and small natural breasts.

Luke talked Sunday night 5/23/99 to Annie the Anonymous Porn Star.

Annie: "I met director "Thomas Paine" [who weighs about 400 pounds on a 6' frame] at the beginning of my career [early 1997]. He knew that I did private shows [strip followed by hand job]. Video plays largely into that type of work. For about a year he'd periodically call me and invite me over to his place to perform a private show for him. I am not interested in that. He never mentioned anything about a job. Then he'd call offering me work. I'd agree tot he work. Then he'd call me two days later saying the job was cancelled. And the last time he did this was in February. He called me in February, and usually his offers are not very good and I wind up rejecting them. This time I accepted it, then I got the call two days later. That he wanted to come where I was at. He would have his private show here. I said ok. I told him my fee. I felt like I had to do this because he had already hired me. So I did it. He had his session and he was telling me about the job, and about future work, and how I was great looking and how I was what he was looking for. It seemed fine. "He got the service, which is basically a strip tease which works out to a blow job [normally just a handjob but porn directors and others who can hire Annie get the extra blow], which I have to say is work that I feel comfortable with doing with a normal person. But since Thomas Paine is approximately three people it makes it a completely different situation. It was really really uncomfortable for me to do this. This guy is disgusting. I felt like this guy could damage my furniture. I have a nice apartment. It was a horrible experience. "I have a reputation for having a boyfriend that I've been with my entire time in the business. He comes with me on every job that I do. He is on every set that I am on. He meets everybody that I meet and they have to be ok with him or I don't do the work. I've done a few dozen videos. "My boyfriend is a nice guy. He is really easy to get along with and nobody has ever had any problems with him. "Three days after I did this horrible thing with Thomas Paine, three days later, the job is cancelled. I call him back. There's always a story, but next month I have this, yaddayadda… I called back and of course he doesn't answer the phone… "Then he called again. He said he had another job for me. He went through the whole thing again. He said he was going to come over here again for another private show but there is definitely going to be a job. He guarantees it. He has a script and he'll bring it over here.

"He came over [late March]. It was the same situation. Very disgusting. But I felt like I knew what to expect so I was more mentally prepared for it. And I got through it ok. And this time (the first time he paid by check), he takes out his wallet… He's waiting for me to say 'oh no, that's ok, this is on the house because you're getting me a job.' So I felt pushed into that… But I never got any work out of it. This is just what he does. "When I was over at Jim South's office, I would overhear girls saying that he [Paine] hires them, and then there's a lot of cancellations. Thomas Paine likes to say that he shoots a lot but the truth is he doesn't. Girls keep calling him to arrange work but this is what he does [manipulates girls into giving him sex]. "John Leslie bounced a check on me and was real prick about it. Somehow it was my fault. I mailed the check to a bank and it bounced and it was somehow my fault. And Zane bounced a check on me. Both made it up. "Jim South has blackballed my career and any work that I've gotten over the past year-and-a-half has been my own doing. I have been working but not as much as I should have. I totally blame it on South."

Luke: "What does Jim have against you?"

Annie: "I never had sex with him. Really what I'd like to do is see you in person. I have oodles of stories."

Intrepid reporter Luke F-rd, wearing a dark suit with a red silk tie that he got from Alexandra Silk, shows up at Annie's apartment Friday afternoon, 5/28/99, Luke's 33rd birthday. Luke has a headache from his late night at the Hustler Jailbabes party at the Rainbow (9015 Sunset Blvd) the night before. Annie ushers me into her nice clean dark apartment. Incense burns. Lights are off. Annie wears a light blue tanktop (her nipples thrusting through the sheer fabric) and a bluejeans miniskirt. Luke settles on the couch. Annie brings him a glass of water. Luke downs it, then whips out his tape recorder and lays it between them.

Annie: "I was referred to Jim South by Dexter at Fat Dog. He referred me to Jim South, Reb (Pretty Girl International) and Regan Senter. Dexter strongly suggested Regan Senter. 'This guy will really get you work.' I called him up and I am sure you know about Regan and how hideous he is. One phone call told me that this is not a guy I should know. Reb has an office near here. I went over to see him and his very scary office there. I talked to the hippie there [Shylar] and he seemed nice. Reb took pictures for his book. And they give you a list of people to call. These are very low budget job offers. I was turning down everything that I was being offered. So I decided to try Jim South."

Luke: "Did Reb hit on you?"

Annie: "No.

"So I made an appointment with Jim and talked with Steve Austin. I did not know how much of a pest he was at the beginning… I brought Bill with me and they had to deal with me differently because he was there. He's not the typical porn boyfriend and I am not the typical porn actress either. So I was handled differently from the other girls. They didn't talk down to me… I didn't the condescending treatment from Jim South that I saw other girls getting.

"I later found out from Dexter that Jim had been suspicious of me and "Biff" because we were different. And he thought we were possibly government agents trying to infiltrate… I thought that was bizarre but these people are paranoid. So I play into the paranoia in a larger way than I anticipated. My boyfriend is a writer and they were afraid that he was compiling information for a book. They wondered why he had to be on every set. He doesn't hang over the action too much, but he needs set access. It is good for me to have him around. But he gets bored and wanders around.

"Nevertheless, they [at World Modeling] were interested in me. 'We know this guy Joey Silvera and he'd like to shoot you so come back tomorrow at 11AM.' So I came back. Jim South seemed less sleazy than the other two people I talked to [Regan and Reb]. I met Joey and he was interested in me. I was happy about that. It was a job that paid way more than the Reb jobs I was referred to [$200-$300]. I appeared in Joey's Butt Row: White Men Can't Iron.

"While I was still talking with Joey in Jim South's office. I said, 'why don't we go into the next room,' where they take Polaroid pictures… And I decided to come on to him. I was rubbing his dick through his pants. He was bewildered but he got hard and was into it and I wound up blowing him in the office. Jim likes to go to lunch around 12. Jim sensed what was going on. Jim came in the room… Joey was pulling up his pants. I'm half naked.

"Jim is livid. It's 12:15 PM right now and I'm delaying his lunch. He can't eat lunch because his friend is getting blown in the next room and this is more than he can handle. So he barges in the room. He doesn't raise his voice because he's Jim South. He lets us know, 'if you're going to be here, I'm going to lock the door because we're going to lunch now.' So he leaves and I finished blowing Joey. I got him off. He tried to f--- me but I backed off that a bit. I didn't want to throw that much at him. I teased him a bit. I rubbed his dick up against my cunt. He came in my mouth. It was a successful afternoon.

"So this set a precedent because all these people talk. I heard about this incident with Joey nine months later from a PA who works for Vivid, John Lipsom. And he occasionally does PA work for other people. John heard the whole story. I was in that Jon Dough: World's Luckiest Man, 101 girl shoot for Vivid. John called me months later, saying, 'I heard how you ambushed Joey over at South's office.' John wanted his piece of that because he books talent for Vivid. And that was ok with me. He said, 'I can use you a lot. We're always shooting over here…' But after I blew him, I didn't get much work from him. He did get me a couple of jobs, such as Eye Contact 2 for director Michael Carpenter.

"I know that Jim South and John Lipsom don't like each other. And Carpenter basically gets his talent from South. It turns out later that Carpenter was spoken to by South, and I never got to work with Carpenter again. He said, 'I book through South and that's why I can't use you again.'

"This seemed to keep happening over and over again. And I realized that I was being blackballed by Jim South. Dexter didn't really work closely with Jim South for the two months of my career. Then Dexter started showing up at South's office and they started talking and the jobs stopped.

"Dexter is a big gossiper. He liked to talk to me to find out what I knew. I didn't really give much away. But Dexter did know about the fluff and he did come over here and get the blowjob fluff. When I fluff, that is what I do, I give blowjobs, even though I am always pressured for more. And some people have broken me down out of intimidation. For instance, Greg Dark. He came over here interested in using me. He'd heard all the stories. And I did f--- him because he pushed me to do that. Unfortunately, I never got work from him.

"I kept getting booty calls from Greg Dark. He'd promise jobs and nothing ever came of it.

"When I talked with Dexter, he started dropping hints. I'd say, 'South is getting work for me,' and Dexter would say, 'South has his favorites and maybe you should talk to South about getting in good with him.' And I thought that was really weird that he would suggest this. It seemed like Dexter was pimping for South. And every time I called Dexter, there would be a strong suggestion that I befriend South. This was another clue that this was what Jim wanted from me and this was the way to get work. Because I have a boyfriend, he couldn't call me up and be direct. Although, while I was at the office, he would say, 'come over for lunch.' He'd strongly encourage me to have lunch with him and to say other hints like… I had a picture on the wall and he moved the picture very close to his desk because he said he liked to look at it. When I got my boobs done, he was totally drooling. It just made him mad that all these people that I fluffed but I had not fluffed him.

"I tried to fluff Ed Powers but that didn't go anywhere. He is a sweet man.

"Randy West is a story in himself. He is the first person I contacted in the industry. I'd seen his tapes. I did an interview with him. I was friendly with Randy and wound up having sex with Randy in his bedroom. And afterward he said, 'I really don't shoot amateurs. But I can refer you to people who do shoot amateurs. I have a friend Joey Silvera…' I said, 'I tried calling Ed Powers on my own but I wasn't able to get through to him.' At the time, Ed and Randy were at odds with each other but I didn't know that. Randy said, 'I will call Ed for you.' Well, he never did.
"Later I'd meet [Randy] at talent calls at Jim South's office and it's like he doesn't even know me. Later, when I worked with Ed, it pissed him off that Randy was chasing people away. Later, I put together that Randy is close to Jim South. And Jim South does not like Ed Powers. Ed Powers is frowned upon by many producers in the industry because he pays too much. Ed pays girls double what everyone else does. Jim is an agent for producers. The whole point of Jim is to lowball these girls. Jim talks these girls down. They all get this speech at the beginning and you're pressured to cut your price. That's Steve Austin's rap. The girls work for Ed, get paid a lot, and then they wonder why nobody else pays them that kind of money. Ed will pay Jim South twice as much money for new talent… "Jim sends you around to all his pals who are looking for a piece, like John T. Bone and Thomas Paine. And when you show up with a boyfriend, they are immediately pissed off because they can't demand sex at that time."

Biff the boyfriend: "Jim sent us to Video Team and they asked, 'why are you here?' We walked into John Bone's place. And out of nowhere, John says, 'you bring your boyfriend with you everywhere and I guess that is a good thing because that keeps bad things from happening and that keeps people from abusing her." And I said, 'yeah.' And when we went back to Jim South's office, he said to you [Annie], 'he didn't get fresh with you, did he?' He [South] would always send us to people who didn't have work and would afterwards apologize if they got fresh. He apologized the same way for Thomas Paine and Rod Fontana."

Luke: "Did Rod Fontana make a move on you?"

Annie: "No he didn't but that doesn't mean it was a good experience. I got booked with him through one of South's talent calls. I worked that night way out in the Valley, Topanga Canyon. I did a scene with him. And he sits down and he gives a little speech that he gives every girl before he works. I'm a really nice guy off-camera. You ask people. But my on-screen persona is similar to Max Hardcore. Apparently a lot of people try to adopt the Hardcore persona. Then he proceeds to shoot and this guy shot for two hours. One of the longest scenes I've ever shot. Repeated action, over and over again. Few breaks. It was grueling. And when I got the video, they had edited it down to a 15-minute scene.
"I was going to fluff John Leslie when I worked for him but John Leslie didn't like Bill being on the set. He asked him to stay in another room so that pissed me off… And I didn't do any kind of fluffing. And I later regretted allowing myself to be separated that way. "I didn't fluff Zane."

Luke: "Who else did you fluff, any owners, producers, anyone at AVN?"

Annie: "No, I did not fluff anyone at AVN. "I fluffed Jim Malibu several times. He would come over to drop off a script and get more action.
"I met Malibu at Jim South's. Malibu shoots black and interracial for Vivid. I was doing interracial at the time. That was hell on wheels. After that, I no longer did interracial. It was such an unpleasant experience working with these guys. I worked with Devlin Weed and Darren James. These guys are horrible. They're from Compton and they act like it."

Luke: "They act vulgar and crude?"

Annie: "Unimaginably crude. So disrespectful. 'Is this going to be an anal scene,' one of them says. The guy had a tough time popping so it took a long time. These guys were pretty brutal and pretty rough with me. In my massage business, I do have the occasional black client but they are way more respectful. They are in my world. And they act accordingly. That wasn't the case on the set.
"I don't like Mr. Marcus. He's another one of these, he's going to give it to me. He's the guy… He's going to treat me rough. He was very rude to Bill. Just an unpleasant scene so I stopped interracial work after that. And Malibu was pissed that his fluff went away because these guys are such assholes. He did try to book me for that Mr. Marcus 101 girl video, but I had no interest at all.
[The www.avn.com cover story is on black porn.]
"A couple of months ago, Malibu booked me for a 101 girl gangbang with Bobby Vitale. And that was a horrible experience. I'd asked for a cumshot, to make it worthwhile for me. More camera time. I wanted to stand out from all these girls… He says, 'well, I can't promise that.'"

I said, 'just book me at a time when he's likely to be ready to pop. Put me in that group.'

"So, he booked me for noon. The day before I had bad feelings about the shoot, and felt surprise because I like to work. I arrived there, and he seemed very cold and distant. And normally he's warm, friendly and flirtatious.

"Vivid is one of those companies that will spend money in funny places. They'll spend money on photography and packaging, but they spend very little money on talent. They'll do things like buy generic brand enemas and douches. They'll hire cameramen who don't cost much money…

"I'm noticing that people are looking at me and I'm getting cold shoulders… People who I didn't know at all, knew exactly who I was. People that normally talk to me were avoiding me. I waited around for hours. Had lots of pretty girl pictures taken. I did a girl-girl scene. There are at least four video cameras operating and at least two still photographers and two magazine representatives.

"And now it is time for Bobby to come in and start with a blowjob. Bobby comes in, they start rolling. At that point, Malibu hussles Biff out of the room."

Biff: "When the girl-girl became a boy-girl, and Bobby Vitale came downstairs, it was like Mohammed Ali entering the ring. And Malibu who'd been completely slack, swerved into manic gear. And all of a sudden, everything was timed. I was sitting there with tons of other people, mostly guys. And in the middle of the scene, in the middle of the shooting, Malibu came over to me and went into his plan. He was in gear and it was a rehearsed thing, and swung into what years ago used to be called 'the bum's rush.' He walked me up out of my seating position and out the door. While Annie was waiting to perform.

"Malibu, as he walked me out the door, said that Annie wanted to do the scene alone… It was ridiculous. I'm about to answer, the door is closed and locked. I knock on the door and no one answers. I am completely locked out of the room while she is getting ready to blow this guy. He's completely preventing any communication between the two of us. "It was a huge soundstage, what used to be called Trach Tech. "It was stage blocking. It was all totally planed."

Annie: "It seemed like a military operation."

Biff: "I came around the other side. I was livid. I saw that they had a guard on the door. In addition to locking the door. When I walked in the other side, he tensed up. I don't know what was going on. We don't know. We don't know what was going to be done to her that they needed a one-legged sail. What were they going to do to Annie that they couldn't have me stop? Were they going to force an anal on her?

"I yelled, 'I want Annie now.' And as soon as she heard me, she got up and walked to me. And Malibu laughed at me, in front of the whole crew, saying, 'look at him, he's freaking out.' And that was the last of it. We never got paid. She did all the pretty girl stuff, she did the girl-girl scene, she signed a release…"

Annie: "What was so disgusting was that Malibu knows how we operate. He's very familiar with both of us."

Luke: "Why didn't you fluff Jim South?"

Annie: "I didn't like how I was being handled. I didn't like the sneaking around. Most people are direct about it. I like to be in charge of who I fluff and who I decide to… I didn't like being pimped out. If I could be sure that something would happen in return, that would be ok…"

Biff: "There was an air of seediness about it that Annie is not about. We went to many of these situations naïve. She brought an air of hippiness… She was innocent, nice and sweet. And time after time, what really happened was that she was casting pearls before swine. These people don't have enough heart to see something beautiful that is just a gift. There are so many cases of guys who could've just taken something in a nice way but needed to be abusive to get off. They need to be hard and rough about it."

Annie: "Sex isn't enough, they have to be crude about it."

Biff: "It's part of the pop."

Luke: "Which guys are like this?"

Annie: "Which guys aren't like this is the question."

Biff: "Steve Austin, what a prick. Talk about naïve, we were just stupid. There was this shoot. Austin represented it as this genius director is going to make a video that is really different. And though I can't get you in it, if you show up, I might be able to have you do something for just no money. But it would be such an entrance for you. It's a big production. This guy is going to remake the whole industry. Cash Markman. Cash Hitchcock. It was Swingin In The Rain.

"So, we show up. It sounded good. We stand around. Austin says he'll take care of it. She'll stand there and be one of the fan girls. While we're waiting, I suggest that she go over and give Austin a thrill. He's taking a nap, like a fat load, and she walks over, wearing a skirt with no underwear, and straddles his face. He wakes up. He doesn't seen me. So he gets up, she says, 'maybe blah, blah, blah.'

"He looks around surreptitiously and says we need to duck out of here. This is a sneaky operation. It wasn't something that could be done in an open and honest way, which was all she had in mind. He takes her into a bathroom. On the way, he passes me, and says, 'we have to go somewhere and discuss something. Don't worry, no sex.'

"At this point, she turns to him and says, 'anything that happens, I am going to tell him. He's my boyfriend.' And he says, 'oh, you don't have to do that.'"

Annie: "Then he takes me into the bathroom, says it is his office. He tells me to sit down on the toilet. He pulls out his cock and sticks it in my face. I said, 'I don't understand why you are doing this.' He says, 'show me how good you are.' And he takes the back of my head and pulls me onto his cock. And so I blew him. But he made it a sleazy disgusting thing. He says, 'you don't have to tell Bill about this. What does Biff think about me?' I said, 'Bill thinks you're interesting.'"

Biff: "It's remarkable that no one can just accept something as a gift… Most times that Annie offered a fluff, almost nobody could allow it without seeing it as something that had to be stolen. Nobody could be blown unless it meant that she didn't love her boyfriend. Nobody could be f---ed unless it meant that they raped her. No one could come over and just get a fluff unless they felt that they had lied to her about an offer [of work]. Like Greg Dark, Thomas Paine."

Annie: "Ron Jeremy lives nearby. He offered that I could come over to his place with Bill, to do some photography work that would be quick and for really low money. I got paid $150 for three photographs where there is insertion but not much f---ing. He does this celebrity thing. It would be my body and his dick with celebrity heads. He shows these old yellow newspaper clippings of this very thing but unfortunately he had no connection with those clippings, it's just a scam he does to have sex with girls. He pays you out of his pocket with a personal check and has you sign a book with all the other girls that he's done this with.

"He's also in cahoots with Jim South. He went to Jim South and told him stuff that Biff and I had let slip. That Jim South did not get us much work… Ron invited Biff and I to a party. Ron said, 'I really don't mind girls with boyfriends because the boyfriend makes sure the girl gets to work on time.' When we're in the car, he's hard. I'm rubbing his dick through his pants. He takes his dick out and says, 'do you mind if Bill steps out of the car?' And Bill is in the back seat listening to this. And I said, 'why do you want Bill to leave the car?' He doesn't mind.' And Ron said, 'I never said that.'"

Biff: "That gets said in the industry a lot. The coverup for any despicable action is, rather than apologize, you deny you ever did it. He said it clear as day. We both heard it. It ended up being a threeway in the car. It was just total generosity on her part. This guy can't accept it. And he only appreciates it if he makes me stand out in the cold. Then it is a better experience. Getting off is not enough. You have to get off and abuse someone at the same time. And we though it was disgusting. Here she was giving him a present. "Kyle Stone is another example."

Annie: "He is one of these guys, who, even though he is going to get f---ed in the scene, he still has to come on to me meanwhile. He's all hands while we're waiting to do a scene. And that's unusual for male talent. They usually don't come on to me. They do what they do, then they leave. He would wait until Biff would leave the room, and then he would approach me. I remember one particular shoot, I had to fight him off the whole time. I told him, 'look, if you really want a piece of me, why don't you go talk to Bill about it. Be friendly with him, and if Bill approves of you, then that is fine.' Which is what he did. I wound up doing a threeway with him [Kyle and Biff] on various shoots. Except for one time when he got particularly hostile. He started saying things, 'when Bill is on a set, I shouldn't even look at him. Because when I'm working with him, I'm working with Kyle Stone.
5/31/99. I stop by Jim South's building on Memorial Day. It's closed. I pick in at the post boxes. Jim South remains in room 203. Sean Michaels is in room 202. Mr. Marcus is in 204 and Protecting Adult Welfare is in 205. A sign on Jim South's mailbox says "Please do not leave mail for Stryc9."
