Heather Barron -- Renaissance Woman

I am, Heather Barron, a pinup girl and elite entertainer offering the finest level of erotic services to successful men who seek nothing but the best. I am currently based in beautiful Las Vegas. I do not have any tattoos, am a "REAL" independent and do not smoke (do not mind if you do) or do drugs. I do, however, enjoy a glass of red wine with dinner at a nice restaurant. I am of Irish/Polish American descent.

I love film, classic cinema and everything about writing for the screen. My ultimate goal in life was to write screenplays and do editorial work. Since I was 16 years of age attending college in New York (yes, that young), I was writing scripts for tv and film for credit and for pure enjoyment. From 2000-2003, I wrote and produced from home. 2003-2004, I opened my own film company in LA and started working with the studios, actors, writers, directors and creatives.

Unlike many who hide their erotic side and live a double life, I was openly an escort and adult entertainer and found the Hollywood creative community sometimes accepting of this, sometimes looking at me like I was insane. I'm highly creative so they always sat and listened with a raised eyebrow and a cocked head... and came back to listen intently some more, this time making notes and dropping names and contacts. In time, my roladex grew and I never had to call an agent again. I networked through people who would walk into my office. It wasn't that hard. But maintaining the soda fridge during summer was.

I am still active in creative projects...and build web sites and do graphics work as well. I am always true to myself and that is the way I choose to live my life, a tornado rolling up to the house of conventional wisdom. The house might stay put. The house may move. But I am always just the sum of my parts. Many of my clients also share of love of the surreal -- photography, cinematography, the history of the lens and well, lovely screen vixens. I never wanted to be an actress. I take more pleasure breathing life into a fantasy that exists in my mind so now you understand the connection between my hobbies.

As my client, you are a character in my private story. I am the producer and I'm sure there is a little bit of actor in both of us. We can be whomever we want to be for an hour or a weekend. There is no director attached (I guess you could play director) so this is real, real independent. There are no cameras just a memory we can share forever. My active private life involves acting out my wildest, exotic fantasies.I have taste for the kinky and like very successful men who dream of exploring the other side of midnight with me. The more confident I have gotten about by my sexuality, the more dangerous I enjoy the heat. For me, the hobby is a lifestyle choice -- not something I do out of necessity unless you consider being "slutty" a necessity. I do not need to be in love with a man to share passion with him. I enjoy being with strangers and new men all the time. This is what we call the "good life".

Director Guy Capo: Talent Should Not Direct

Gene Ross writes on Adultfyi:

Capo said that he felt talent should NOT direct, and that directors should not be talent. "I think that anybody who wants to make their own porn films should first learn how to edit," Capo stated. "I'm a very strong proponent of these theories. It's very, very challenging to try and cover both those bases at once and far too often your own personal preferences get worked into the film and supercede the vision you're truly trying to communicate. That's first and foremost.

"Second of all," Capo continued, " you should learn how to edit and I'm talking to all you piss-poor pornographers out there who do a hack job behind the camera then turn it over to a hack editor who turns it over to a hack DVD replicator and you, the consumer, at home, end up with a hack product that you are disappointed in. I'm trying to desperately change that for you on a daily basis."

Kevin Moore writes on AdultDVDTalk.com:

This would mean John Leslie should not have directed because he was once talent? Or that Joey Silvera should never have directed either? Or that Jules Jordan shouldn't perform in his own movies? Ironic that one of the first lessons Joey taught me about shooting was to be there for every edit of every frame because it would make me a stronger shooter and he was 110% right... but I guess that doesn't matter because he was once talent and talent shouldn't direct.

Chico "Wanker" Wang writes:

Guy Capo can seem very conceited and pretentious at times. I agree that the best directors generally tend to be people with an editing mentality. Or people who study the craft and make videos that they would jerk off to.

But after having seen two of Guy's movies, American Gunk and Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll over the weekend, it simply doesn't surprise me this form of behavior to get attention. I now understand what Dave Gallegos, salesman at Evolution, was saying to people. Guy's movies simply does not move.

When you think you're a feature director, and directing Hollywood type movies (on a porno budget) with very standard sex scenes attached to them, this is the wrong business. Maybe I'm wrong but for a Guy who makes lousy videos (and I'm sure he feels the same way about my videos) which sell piss poor among distributors, to come out with something like Talent should NOT direct is such a pathetic statement from a newbie director, it's bizarre. I mean, what's the point of statements like these when your own videos don't get accolades he so desperately wants among your own industry?

I'm aware he thinks he knows everything, that's evident in his comments, but you have to back it up with stunning videos to make these type of comments. It's amazing the inflated egos in this business without anything to back it up. The only thing I saw different were Oliver Stone ala Natural Born Killer cuts like Slain Wayne (done poorly) using a Panasonic 24P and overly used Final Cut Pro filters. Again, I'll say it over and over again and tell me if I'm wrong. Tell me if I'm being pretentious. This is pornography. If a guy can't jerk to the sex scenes and pop on his belly, it is worthless pornography.

Evil Angel director Tricia Devereaux writes:

Some of these ex-performers turned directors are Joey Silvera, John Leslie, John Stagliano, Brad Armstrong, Jonathon Morgan, Paul Thomas and Veronica Hart. I'm a little disturbed by people (and it's not just talent, mind you) who think that just because they know where the on button is on a camera, they can make a porn movie. But I'm equally disturbed by the people who think that just because they know how to make a movie, they know how to make a porn movie. Porn is about sex, at least in my opinion. When a pornographer can figure out how to capture sex in an interesting way that pleases his/her fans, then that's the kind of porn I'm excited to see. I hate to say this, but 6 days out of 7, I'd rather see great sex with questionable production values than questionable sex with great production values.

Jewel DeNyle writes: "Talent respects you more if you've been in their shoes and ask them to do the harder edge stuff. Point being don't expect talent to do something if you can't do it yourself of if you've never done it."

Dravyk writes on Oprano.com:

Luke: I cover porn. I hate porn.
Lawrence: I love porn. I AM porn!
Luke: I want naked chicks. I hate naked chicks.
Lawrence: I want naked chicks and they want me.
Luke: I need to talk to my shrink.
Lawrence: I have a big dick that never quits.
Luke: I need a screw, but I can't. It hurts too much if I give in. I would never be able to live with myself.
Lawrence: I want to give in, but no one will do it with me.
Luke: I have to shrug them off like flies. They tempt me with their evil vile ways. I most go to the Wailing Wall and be redeemed.
Lawrence: I need a screw.
Luke: I need a session.
Lawrence: That's the spirit. A looooooove session!
Luke: No. A sofa session.
Lawrence: Sofa, bed, table, floor, doesn't matter to me. I'll do them anywhere.
Luke: Damn, my psychiatrist just hung up on me again.

Greg Lasrado Going Down

September 4, 2004 BRISBANE Internet porn king Greg Lasrado has suffered another financial setback, with a creditor moving to seize control of his valuable clifftop land in the city.

The Commonwealth Bank has appointed receiver managers to Mr Lasrado's GDL Investments, which is listed as the owner of the vacant 1179sq m site at Kangaroo Point. Mr Lasrado bought the Leopard St land for $2.88 million in 1999.

Development plans call for three luxury townhouses on the property, which has views over two reaches of the river to the CBD.

Best business advice anyone every gave you?

Brad Shaw writes on JBM: "Several people told me to stop worry about other peoples business practices, and worry about my own business. I finally got it through my head and made more $."

Wade writes: "Stick to what you know best."

Deletedcom writes:

This what I've been doing:

Finding old links pages and checking for old expired domains, and then checking link pop, and found one (a long mature .biz) last night with 305 links, and this morning one (a gay picture .biz) with 290, and one (.com) with 48. That is how I get my traffic and then I either make a site, park it on Sedo, or sell the domains!

So I guess also you need to know the market that you are targeting. And you need the art of the deal, when trying sell a site/ domain. I had one guy try to con me, saying he wanted to sell a popular domain site for 50.00, but there was no way! And I also had a LARGE offer for one of my sites, and my advise in that case is document anything the guy says! That way if he goes back on his word, you have prove.

I want to start JEWCASH.COM

Ask a Rabbi posts from Israel on GFY:

how do i start? i have tons of videos from my nephew's bris' and my accountant Shmuli says he can film me some nice yentas. where can i learn to shave like the good programs?

there are only two things in life i live for, the teachings of the Torah and the love of the penny.

LA Press Club Party For XXX-Communicated: A Rebel Without A Shul

Pictures, reports, opportunities.

Mike South Says AVN's Tim Connelly Make Him Sick

Mike has been nominated for the AVN Hall of Fame. But comments like this are not going to increase his chances of getting in:

Tim Connelly's latest plea on the editorial pages of AVN really made me want to hurl. Some excerpts:

I treat people based on my experiences with them, for example if I say someone is a sell out, well it is because he sold out. Get my drift here? I suspect others in life (not just porn life) feel the same way. I usually take a neutral position when I first meet someone, even leaning a bit towards giving them the benefit of the doubt. As the relationship progresses and they show themselves to be void of any ethics or integrity then I tend to treat them like the Devil that they are. As to your "Sympahy For The Devil" Quote, well I have no sympathy for you, you make your bed and you lie in it, that doesn't warrant sympathy, sympathy comes when someone is in a situation through no fault of his own. Empathy, where I put myself in your shoes, comes to mind...If I were you, I would start by keeping my word, and one final word to the wise. This business is small and when you trash talk people, it does get back to them. So don't try to be nice to me while sticking a knife into my back.

Mike tells me:

I got nommed for the hall of fame too. Just goes to show ya I wont sell out for a plastic trophy. I'm on the long list Im told but my chances of makin it in are slim and none these days. Tim Case says I deserve it. I'm 50/50. Part of me thinks ya I been around awhile...I did what everyone said couldnt be done. On the other hand....sh-t its just porn, a dubious distinction to be in the hall of fame along side people who are criminals, misfits, thieves and overall f-ckups.

Online Biz Down

Nine months ago, AVN Online magazine was about 198 pages. The September issue is 118. The business is down across the board. Visa and Mastercard put the clamps on pay sites and affiliate programs started cannibalizing each other.

I hear there will be a competing magazine to AVN Online and a competing trade show at the same time as Internext in the same city - Las Vegas.

I thought Adult Video News was turning into a consumer magazine but I don't see any signs of that happening yet. Many of the writers at AVN will get fired if it does become consumer-oriented as the Heidi Pike-Johnsons and Mark Kernes of the mag will not be of sufficient quality to keep up.

Dig420 Looking To Hook Up In LA

Medium-sized webmaster Dig420 was my boss for a year. He writes on GFY that he's young, rich and ready to mingle. But where in LA?

"Non-whore, non EX-whore, non-stripper just a nice, normal girl that I can corrupt. If I wanted a hooker I would have stayed with the ex. I want a chick with a slamming body and a heart of gold."

Exrydn writes:

Buy yourself a Big Twin Harley! Chrome may not get ya home, but it truly will get you laid. LOL Go on Runs. Get known at your local dealership. Cruise & Putt, Cruise & Putt. Ya don't have to take one with you. You can pick one out when you get there.

If you are a dog lover (non sexual, GFY gets it twisted), buy a cute puppy. Take this puppy to Venice beach. Or go to dog parks. Tons of hotties will approach you asking about the dog. sh-t, borrow a friends dog and take the dog for walks to these places. Puppy = chick magnet Other ideas, go to see live concerts in small venues. Come with me sometime and we'll do the backstage thing, chicks "DIG" it. Or maybe try online dating, I hear lot's of stories of people like yourself finding the right person and getting married.

Puff Daddy Party

Kevin Blatt threw a party at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas Sunday night for the black rapper Puff Daddy during the magic convention.

KB was hired specifically to pack the place with chicks. Houston, KB's ex-girlfriend, is hosting one of the parties. She's going to real estate school in Las Vegas and supposedly she is not hooking anymore. She strips naked at a few clubs. She has her own production company, Hot Houston, and her own line of porn videos. She's working on getting distribution.

Puff Daddy's people originally wanted Jenna Jameson to host but she's busy on her book tour. "So I got them the second best thing," says KB.

I hear the promoter of Sunday night's party got screwed. Puff Daddy never showed up. Puff Daddy's dancer Farnsworth Bentley (he dances with an umbrella in Outkast videos) charged $8,000 to the room. His girlfriend was lent a $22,000 diamond watch and she made off with the watch. He never showed up to the gig. The promoter wants to find the guy and throw him in jail.

KB went with former Sin City contract girl Monique Alexander and he rounded up ten other cute young girls for the party.

"They're all nuts," says a bitter source. "All women are nuts.

"Most of the people at the party were from New York. They had heard about Houston from the Howard Stern show. She was the next best thing to Jenna.

Jenna J's Book

LT writes: I've been following Jenna's book the last month.On the USA Today Top 50, it started 3 weeks ago at #55 then last week was #40 and now,this week,# 61 so I guess it's over. At the Barnes & Nobles list she went between #25 an #12. Today I think she's #16. Yesterday, I was at Barnes & Nobles and it was nowhere to be found. There were 6 Traci Lords book but not a single one of Jenna (and there was no empty spot). Well...I sure read it and what I found missing was: nowhere did she talk about GOD. Usually, when peoples get close to dying (it seems it did happen to her a few times) they always wind-up finding God but...maybe she keeps that for the second book. Unless I'm wrong, she was suppose to write two books, one clean and one dirty but I thought the clean one was to be the first one so I guess if she was to talk about it, it would have been in the first book. Anyway...as for the phrase that stood out for me, it's that one where she described the water in Hawaii (during her honeymoon with hubby Brad Armstrong) when under a big storm, they went scuba diving (because she couldn't stand staying inside anymore) and she wrote something like: "the water was as dark as when you look inside a concrete mixer" : Well...that's a find!---

Money Laundering Investigation

Ian Eisenberg and a guy named Trey? from Epic Cash (GFY poster p1mpdogg, offshore) are being investigated for money laundering. I heard that they claim to have done nothing wrong. Derek Newman is defending them. I can't find a record of any lawsuit.

Evan Horowitz of Xpays (who've been dealing with a lawsuit from Microsoft the past two years for alleged spamming) takes on p1mpdogg in a thread on GFY:

It was that incident years ago (with Brad Shaw in 2000) that hooked us up with Paul Cambria's firm so it turned out to be a blessing. We have had excellent representation ever since.

Todd- just wait and see how ugly it gets. We have some controversial announcements coming down the pipeline that are sure to get the peanut gallery fired up. Hibernation is over and we are eager to work with more and more solid webmasters whether they have 2 joins a month or 20000.

Intellectual property is an asset (tm's and patents particularly) and branding for years to see someone else's banner directly below our brand name is overkill on the skin thing. We will still not stoop to personal slams and try not to be "pissing". We are humble and we look forward to getting to know each webmaster partner who joins http://XPays.com

The industry has changed a lot which is why our inventive model turned out to be more than adequate for dealing with changing times. So I guess you could say proud and humble. Happy to have a fresh start as well since the huge dark cloud that was over us is gone.

Adventures In Editing

James DiGiorgio writes:

Here's an actual conversation that took place between Matt and I during the editing of his flick.

Matt: Why didn't you make a cut there? That shot goes on forever without a cut.

Jimmy: If you shot something for me to cut to I would cut.

Matt: (Becoming a bit irritated.) Then why don't you cut to one of those things?

Jimmy: (Maintaining his cool.) One of what things, Matt?

Matt: One of those cut-a-something things.

Jimmy: You mean a cut-away shot?

Matt: Yeah, a cut-away.

Jimmy: You mean like to the girl's hand or foot or to a nearby tree or a bird or something?

Matt: Yeah, one of those.

Jimmy: Well, that would require you to have actually shot a cut-away for me to cut to a cut-away.

That little post-production conversation was almost as good as the one in which David Sturman, Sin City's owner and de facto Dali Lama of Porn, once phoned me (while I was head of post-production for Sin City) and asked me if I knew what a 'dissolve' was.

"Sure," I said.

"Do you put them in my movies?" David asked.

"All the time," I assured David. "Plenty of them."

"Yeah!" David enthusiastically said.

Playboy seeks McDonald's women

After Wal-Mart and Home Depot, magazine's Web site looking to feature chain's 'hamburger honeys.'

Playboy.com is set to announce Wednesday that it is seeking America's sexiest McDonald's (MCD: Research, Estimates) employees "to serve a little shake with their fries" and pose for the upcoming "Women of McDonald's" online pictorial.

The online publication of the adult men's magazine has previously run pictorials of the women of Enron, the collapsed energy trading company, of Starbucks (SBUX: Research, Estimates), the No. 1 coffee chain, of Wal-Mart (WMT: Research, Estimates), the world's largest retailer and of home improvement chain Home Depot (HD: Research, Estimates).

"We're going after companies with an enormous brand name where there is also a likelihood of finding the 'girl next door' who has the potential to become a model," said John Thomas, editor of Playboy.com.

Rob Black Joins Forces With Chuck Zane?

Gene Ross reports on adultfyi.com:

One of the more shocking developments in the porn industry is the apparent joining of forces between Chuck Zane and Rob Black. Apparently Alante is no longer repping Extreme Associates in the foreign market for reasons that one can only imagine. But, apparently, uncle Chuck has stepped up to the plate. Sources over in Amsterdam tell me Zane was at a recent show acknowledging that he was now with Extreme. If that's the case, this is one of those over my dead body sets of circumstances only porn can produce, seeing that Rob Black and Chuck Zane have been at each other's throats for years.

Missionary Positions

Bill Day from Camguys.com has directed a documentary called MISSIONARY POSITIONS: The story of xxxchurch.com.

It might be called the "Passion of Craig and Mike." It is the wacky story of two '20 something' youth pastors from Corona, California. After hearing God say the word "porn" to them, the two young pastors are off on a "Heart of Darkness" journey into the world of pornography. They create a church on the internet called xxxchurch.com, set up booths at sex conventions, and team up with a veteran porn director to make TV ads - all to convince the world that "porn sucks."

But is their faith strong enough to triumph over the human sex drive and a ten billion dollar a year porn industry (not to mention Pat Robertson and the Christian Right)? Guaranteed to change the way you think about porn forever... Not since "Elmer Gantry" has the dark side of religion and sex been revealed so...so... pornographically.

Jenna Jameson Going Under The Knife

Fast Eddie writes: For those who love natural boobs, Jenna Jameson has announced that she will be entering the hospital next month to have her implants removed, returning to her original size (34 C).

Phunhog writes:

Jenna Jameson has proven that raw desire (with some talent of course) can trump almost anything else. Be honest, JJ is not the prettiest (most of the women in a Ninn video are much more pretty (especially without the makeup and tattoos), even beautiful), her bod is not the hottest (it's hot but it is indistinguishable from 2 dozen other porn stars). It is her desire. When you watch her scenes, she has that thing that draws your eyes to her--an intensity bordering on ruthlessness. Watch her pounding away at Brianna in Brianna Loves Jenna. And off screen, she has never wavered from her goal of being the number 1 pornstar of all time. I can think of twenty other porn stars I'd rather see on film or in person based on what I consider sexy and based on something I've seen them do in various videos, which is to say JJ's not my cup of tea, but just as I can respect an athlete who is determined to win no matter what, I've got to give her her props.

Jenna will be on the Dennis Miller Show Tuesday night 9PM EST.

Sharing A Coke With An HIV Positive Porn Girl

The other day, I was in the office of a pornographer. His previous visitor had been an HIV-positive porn girl. She'd left a half-finished Coke. He picked it up and was about to drink from it. Then he realized what he was doing, screamed out a bunch of cuss words, threw the Coke in the trash, and walked to the bathroom to wash his hands and face with soap.

We all know that HIV can't be transmitted from drinking out of the same bottle but it is still freaky when you almost do it.

After I shook hands with him, I made a line to a bathroom so I could wash with soap and water. Out, out damn spot!

When civilians complain that porn is dirty, they are not necessarily talking about literal dirt. They're talking about a contagion that they associate with sex work.

When civilians freak out about HIV in porn, it's not the literal cases of HIV in porn that they are freaking out about because there aren't that many. A dozen in the past five years. They're freaking out because their connotation of sex work with filth has been made concrete and all their prejudices about sex work come to consciousness and they want the dirty little whores taken care of and kept away from their back yard.

Civilians can slobber over porn girls one minute, be fascinated by pornographers for hours, and then boom, they want all the filthy whores and pimps thrown in prison.

This industry and the public's reaction to it is inherently volatile and there is no answer to how society should regulate porn. Whatever attitude it takes, there will be volatile problems. No regulation can mean the explosion of a public health menace. Regulation can mean part of the industry goes underground and the Mob takes over.

Cancer Can Be A Sexual Downer

"I ponder sometimes how much has been lost ... as a consequence of sweet Lizzie's illnesses," Mr. O'Donnell wrote in 1999 in a journal he keeps. "Her breathtaking good looks; her shapeliness; her breasts; her lovemaking; her lovely tummy; her walks with me; her ability to be counted on for X or Y; her hair on her head; her not needing to shave; her constant need of medical care; her silence when sleeping."

Will there be a convergence between amateur blogging and amateur porn?

The question from the Llamabutcher to Wonkette:

LB : "Do you feel at all guilty or responsible for the unholy convergence of amateur blogging and amateur porn?" (Gasp, as quite a number of jaws hit the floor)

WK: "I don't know what you mean---explain it as graphically as possible for me"

LB: "Is this becoming more common--are you unleashing a scary phenomena on the world? I mean, you got Jessica Cutler onto the Washington Post Magazine and then Hustler..."

WK: "she did it herself. And, it's Playboy, not Hustler"

LB: "But still---will there be a convergence between amateur blogging and amateur porn?"

She fumbled around a bit, and then said, "Well, they are a lot alike. But only the best go pro..."

Xcitement Magazine Survives Hurricanes

Cindi Loftus writes: "I just wanted to let everyone know that all is well here is South Florida. I made it through the hurricane alive, all limbs in tact. I would love if you could throw this up on your site for me because i have been without power for the last four days and still have no internet connection. So anyone that is worried about me hasn't heard back. I'll be in touch with you all just as soon as humanly possible. Since I can't even get in to my e-mail, I can't drop people a note and tell them what is going on. Oh, and my phone line is down too, lol. And next weekend we are supposed to have ANOTHER hurricane. Jeez Maybe I ought to move to LA, you don't have any natural disasters, do you?"

Sharon Mitchell Remaining At AIM

Contrary to rumors on the Web, Sharon Mitchell will remain in charge of Adult Industry Medicine. Yes, she does have a boyfriend who's not thrilled with the porn business. Sharon, after the latest HIV crisis, is not thrilled with the business either. It's been a lot of aggravation for not a lot of reward.

She has a private practice on Balboa counciling drug abusers. She's hired a couple of people to run AIM for her. She comes in three half-days a week. She may be publishing her 800-page PhD thesis as well as another book, possibly on the industry's HIV problems.

Sympathy For The Devil

AVN publisher and editor Tim Connelly, I've never met a finer man, writes in the September AVN editorial:

A trade magazine promotes the industry about which it reports. AVN does for "The Other Hollywood" what Variety does for Hollywood. Being objective in a subjective medium is a Sisyphean task, and we rise to the challenge every month, in print, and every day, on AVN.com. While we don't say a bad movie is good, it's incumbent on us to talk about the finer points of the adult industry to help sell more product in this fiercely competitive market. In terms of porn movies, you can't convince people to focus on quality rather than quantity. The economic imperative is obviously to deliver more content and more cheap content. It's a daunting challenge, sometimes, to say something meaningful in an industry that, I've felt in my more cynical moments, makes the same movie over and over again.

So when you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy, some restraint. Cause what's confusing you is just the nature of my game.

Tim Connelly's contract is coming up for renewal soon. I wonder if he will be re-signed.

Travis writes: "That Tim Connelly. What a card. He tries to "be objective" but also feels it's "incumbent" to "help sell more product." Is this douchebag serious? Does he actually expect anyone to swallow this line of confused thinking? Oh, but I forget, he quotes the Rolling Stones. Someone should clue him in that Mick and Keith are cool, but that parroting their lyrics just makes him look like the unoriginal hack he's always been."

Felicia Fox Buys The Farm

Not quite yet, but soon. She's on her way out of the adult industry, say her husband Tim case. I called him in the Midwest Tuesday afternoon.

Tim: "I don't know how many more movies she is going to make. She's been dancing for five years. She'll be headlining in clubs for about another year, but after that, we'll be about done with everything [adult]. There comes a time..."

It's just not spiritual enough.

"Exactly. You start looking for something to fill the soul, and not just the wallet."

An emptiness in your soul.

Does she still tell people when she's dancing that she's trying to pay her way through college?

Or she's supporting her sick mother. Or paying off the medical bills for her kid with leukemia?

"No, she never says anything like that. She's always said she wants to put money away so she can buy a farm in Ohio.

"We're on the road three weeks of the month. We were in New York City before the Republican convention."

What's Felicia's position on Iraq?

"That we shouldn't be there."

Unsafe touch.

"Her brother served in the Kuwait war. She's a registered Democrat."

Marvad Is Pimpin'

PrettyOne writes on GFY 9/7/04:

Well, since my last post was based on Marvad employees kissing my ass and I was the frightened little girl that was being threatened to be suued... I realized that they can't because I am the only one that didn't sign a contract while employed by them.

So... During a phone conversation between RogerV and BrianM- I quote RogerV- (this was Sept 1) "we'll just shave the sh-t out of 'em and just say that the age verification pages screwed it up"

Also Brett of Marvad- watch your back because Roger wants to fire you...he said he pays you too much and since Marvad is in the negative now, he needs to cut overhead and you aren't the only one he wants to fire. Marvad can barely pay its employees. Believe it.

Also BrianM - Roger wants to get rid of you too but he just didn't have the balls to say it to you on the phone...they are trying to figure out away to go around your contract. RogerV can't pay his employees and that means the webmasters as well...so don't be surprised when you get f-cked. But he does have the money to buy a 6g watch and a new Range Rover and head to Vegas and gamble all the money that you have been making him. Oh wait the watch is on credit- Just like his business He still owes Ian over 3 mil -

Talk about debt, I would hate to be in his position. Ian is smart tho- running the business by smacking Roger around like the bitch he is. If it weren't for Ian backing Roger all the time and telling him what to do Pornkings would have been gone a loooong time ago!

Roger- Hope Chris of CCbill wasn't dumb enough to let you borrow money- did you tell him that you are in the negative, that you are planning on f-cking your partner in the ass? and that you are firing some of you most hard working employees because you are selfish and want more money more money....

Lets calculate your debt- ok lets not, dont want to embarrass you any further. And it doesn't matter that you are revamping- your content sucks. Perfection cash content is a joke. Guys would get off more by watching Brittney on MTV - fully clothed.

Joe Diamond Interview

Joe Diamond has written for the New York Post, the New York Daily News, TV Guide, Newsday and Intellectual Capital. He's been interviewed on MSNBC, Fox News, CNN and the BBC. Now he's writing about hookers in Brazil for Hustler magazine and doing other sex-related writing.

We speak by phone Monday, September 6.

Joe: "I've been reading your stuff. We have opposite trajectories. I went to yeshiva, a Sephardic yeshiva through third grade. The tuition got too high for my mother."

Were you a budding Talmudic genius?

"I did better in religious school than I did in public school. The educational standards at some of these parochial schools are amazing. Once I got into middle school and high school, I started floundering educationally."

Joe has lived his whole life in Brooklyn. He went to Brooklyn College, majoring in Political Science and Communications.

"After yeshiva, I wasn't involved in religious matters. I got bar mitzvahed. I've always believed in God. For a long time, I tried to go to temple on the High Holy Days. But nah, I have not been a good Jew for many years."

So how old were you when you first used drugs?

"Whoa. When I first used drugs? Nah. I was a teenager and I did the usual light stuff. I smoked pot. I didn't do that long either. I've never been big on drugs."

When did you start experimenting with sex?

"About 15."

So you didn't get a blowjob for your bar mitzvah?

"No. It didn't cross my mind at the time.

"[After college] I was involved with politics and public affairs. I worked for Rudy Giuliani. Then I ran an organization (Take Back New York) that fought violent crime. We lobbied for tougher laws against violent felons. We helped to change the parole system. We started the first Web site in the country that gave the public information about violent inmates coming up for parole.

"I worked with the Guardian Angels. I know Curtis Sliwa. He was supportive of my organization."

Did you bring Rudy Giuliani hookers?

"No. It's such a funny question. I mean this in a good way. It's like a Stuttering John question. So out of left field.

"I love the guy [Rudy]. When it comes to matters of sex, he's perceived as puritanical because of the efforts he made to clean up Time Square. There there was a side of his personal life that came out into the open during his mayoralty. He'll always be associated with getting sex shops out of residential areas in the mind of the adult industry."

Do you think Times Square is better for having gotten rid of most of the sex shops?

"It's certainly more family friendly. It's been Disneyfied. You have more tourists coming.

"As far as the industry is concerned, he probably drove up sales on the Internet. When you take away these brick-and-mortar outlets, it means that more people are buying the merchandise online. In that sense, it's been a wash, or maybe even a gain, for the adult industry."

Who are your favorite porn stars?

"Out of all the women in porn, only a handful have stood out in my mind. Montana Gunn. I was excited to meet Rebecca Bardoux at AVN. I've always liked her performances on screen.

"Girl-on-girl porn is the only stuff I'll watch. In real life, I don't like to see a guy get a girl that I am interested in. So why would I want to pay that on screen? Why would I want to see a guy get a girl that I want to screw? That is what happens in real life. I only like to watch gorgeous girls get it on together.

"A lot of times, these girls are beautiful physically but they don't show any real animation. Classic actress Christy Canyon was good at projecting that energy.

"I've always been fascinated by porn. My career was on a very different track. I've always been involved in conservative politics.

"I went on a trip to Brazil last February and I was amazed at how sexual the culture was. I had a great time. I came back thinking, there's a real story here. I haven't seen many articles on Rio de Janeiro, what's really going on there. I pitched it to a few magazines and Hustler was very interested. I went back later that year and did the article. This got me to thinking that there are a bunch of adult magazines I could write for."

Did you get into the she-male scene in Brazil?

"Not at all. In some ways, I am very straight-laced.

"Given the way the culture and economy is there, the only way for a girl to climb up and get into the middle class and beyond is to moonlight as a sex worker."

Did you feel like you were helping them to advance in their social class?

"When I sat down to write, that's the way I started to think about it. Looking at it on a macro scale... When you are actually hooking up with somebody there, no. After I got over my initial resistance.

"My friend Ian had been telling me about it for years. 'The girls will treat you like a king.' My friend and I would make fun of him. 'You're paying them. Of course they will treat you like a king.' My thing was that I didn't want to go pay for sex. It's not only demeaning to the girl. It's demeaning to me. It's going to sink my ego into the toilet.

"I went because it was real. It was the Rio carnival. I figured there would be regular women from all over the world and beautiful girls who live there and are not involved in that business. Then you go and you see the place is flooded with working girls. It's so integrated into the culture. You see all the guys there who are partaking in this.

"I met this one girl on my first night and she just dazzled me. We sat down for a couple of hours and talked at a cafe. Before I knew it, I wanted this girl. To hell with me being on a high horse and not wanting to pay for this. If that's what it takes to have a night with this girl, it's worth doing, especially if everybody here seems to be condoning it.

"It's almost like a United Nations of women over there, such a melting pot. A lot of the girls I met looked Northern Italian. Blonde hair with olive skin.

"I can only imagine what you're thinking. I know this is a source of moral conflict for you."

How do you think your writing for sex publications is going to affect your writing for more conventional publications?

"I've crossed a big bridge."

It was the moral environment in Rio that let you think that whoremongering was ok.

"Yeah, of course."

If you were in a different society that might've arrested you and humiliated you, you wouldn't have done it.

"Right. It was the absence of stigma.

"I had a friend who was a mentor to me. When I hinted to him about the kind of things I was writing about, he was aghast. 'Joe, you are ruining yourself. You can't go back now.' I didn't know how to respond. This is how my life has evolved.

"Rio is almost a reflection of Porn Valley. But I don't want to intellectualize this too much.

"My main passion is to get a book contract and to live in Rio. Some of the women I met there, I got romantically involved with. That's my ultimate goal. I would love to go there and find a soul mate. I don't care if she's a former sex worker. That would've bothered me at one time.

"The quality of relationships I've had in the United States with regular girls have not worked for me.

"Would you reject a girl in the porn industry out of hand?"

Yeah.

How does your mom feel about your adult work?

"She's not thrilled with it."

Have you lost friends writing on this stuff?

"No. I've probably made friends."

I saw the movie Blame it on Rio at age 17 and fell in love with Rio de Janeiro. But I'm afraid to go there because the local mores might melt my otherwise firm moral values.

"I was firm when I first went there that I wanted to observe the local scene but I didn't want to pay. I didn't want to fly ten hours and then pay to get laid. That was just repulsive to me. I very quickly got sucked into the whole thing. There's still a part of me that says, 'Joe, what the hell are you doing? This is not the image of yourself that you had for many years.' But this is how life has unfolded for me.

"I have a friend from Brooklyn who is in his 30s. He's not happy. He's got a good job. He hasn't been in a relationship in a long time. He's shy. He doesn't like to go out to find romance in New York. So he goes to Rio a lot. You have to do something. You have to express that desire somewhere. He loves Rio and how the women treat him there. Once in a while, he will lament to me, what if I am 50 and still doing this.

"That wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. If you are still going there a few times a year when you are 50, there will be a lot of guys who will still worship you like you are Hugh Hefner.

"It is not a mainstream life to go there and play around with all these gorgeous hookers.

"But if you are not in a happy healthy stable relationship at home, and you are not religious, then what do you do?"

What will you say to your wife on your wedding night?

"Why would I have to say anything to her about Rio? If she's reading my articles, she will probably have a list of questions for me."

How do civilian women react when they find out about your Brazil adventures?

"I've only been doing this for under a year. A lot of the women I've met are cool with it. Others have been not too cool with it.

"One girl I mentioned to her an article I'd done. I told her I wrote for adult magazines. She seemed cool with it. I told her I had won this contest and got to go to LA to do a scene with a porn girl. Brittney Skye for BeTheMask.com. Maybe she will think that's really cool. I told it to her and she said, 'Now that is the official end of our date.'

"I couldn't believe I had been so tone deaf. Oh, you idiot. You really thought this was going to impress the girl."

Brittney Skye is cute. What sort of scene did you do with her?

"Just a straight sex scene.

"As I was getting prepared to go out to LA to do this, I thought, maybe it will be a version of what happens in Rio. In Rio, I met these girls who are working girls but then I've had romance with some of them. It's gone from business to romance on several occasions. That's been interesting. It has shown that a lot of these girls are open emotionally. Who knows? There might be a real nice wife over there waiting for me to meet her.

"I'm thinking, maybe Brittney will really like me and we'll have a real chemistry together. After we do our scene, we'll go out for a nice romantic dinner.

"She's a sweet girl. She did a good scene. But there was no chemistry between us. She was getting paid to do the scene and that was fine. She was a professional. It was an eye-opener because it my heart of hearts, I had hoped there would be more than doing a scene."

I had all the same fantasies about porn stars.

"In Rio, there are girls of porn star quality and you can be with them.

"Later in the day, I did a scene with Brittney and Felix Vicious, a goth chick."

Did you have trouble performing?

"I took a lot of viagra. In the first scene, I came quicker than the director wanted."

What's it like coming back from Brazil and dating civilian girls?

"For my friend Ian, that's always a big letdown. He doesn't go out and socialize. All he does is sit around and dreams about Brazil.

"Last night I went to a Jewish singles event in Manhattan. I spoke to one girl. There were no sparks. I told her I go to Brazil but I didn't get into the nitty gritty of it. If someone asks me specifically, I'll tell them. I'm not going to hide.

"Dating in the real world has been getting harder lately. I've been going through a dry spell. I still try to go out and socialize. I go to different clubs. I'll go out to bars. I'll think, why am I still doing this? I'll think about three relationships I've been in where I could've gotten got married. Those were my chances to have a normal life, and for whatever reason, I wasn't prepared to make the jump. I've made my bed. I've set things up in my life, past 40, still searching for a soulmate, still floundering around.

"I envy you. You have deep beliefs. They serve as a rock for you. Every time I've deeply believed in something, at some point, I've drifted away from it. I've lost the touchstones I've had in my life."

What has surprised you about porn?

"I've realized there are a lot of smart people in porn. There are a lot of professionals who want to get the job done and are dedicated to their craft and business. It's a mature industry, around for over 30 years. A lot of performers have impressed me with their intelligence and how professional they are."

Israeli sex

Lisa On The Face writes on Israeli sex: Monday evening, following a late coffee with a couple of friends at Orna and Ella's on Sheinkin Street, I was stopped by a young woman standing just outside the sex shop across the street from the restaurant.

September Dawn - What Happened to Stormy

Gene Ross writes for adultfyi:

I had a quickie chat recently with September Dawn, who together with Stacy Valentine and Shelby Stevens has put together a new modeling agency called Exotic Star Models, www.exoticstarmodels.com.

I asked September what happened to Wicked contract girl Stormy who was originally announced as one of the agency's owners. September tells me that Stormy with all of her other hats in the business simply didn't have the time to give to the agency and has since bowed out.

60 Minutes On Porn

I call my Jewish porn friend Dora, 21, who fled Florida for safer environs. "You heard about Frances being the size of Texas?"

Duke: "A lot of people say I am the size of Texas."

Dora: "I can't believe I saw you on TV. The number one adversary of porn and yet you are still..."

Duke: "I'm fighting evil."

Dora: "But you are evil too. You are a horny man in his early 30s... Sex is great yet you are fighting sex yet you love sex. I don't understand you."

Duke: "I just think that sex belongs in marriage. Or anywhere else you can get it."

Dora: "Anywhere else you can get it is where the porn industry lives."

Duke: "I must condemn that."

Dora: "That's why you are not getting laid now."

Duke: "I've reached a higher spiritual plane where these fleeting physical pleasures mean so little to me compared to the eternal verities."

Dora: "You're not getting any, Duke."

Duke: "I don't think it is right to have sex outside of marriage."

Dora: "Then why have you done it in the past?"

Duke: "I fell from grace. It wasn't so much that I sinned against God as I sinned against myself. I feel soiled and tawdry. I feel like I've given away something special that I should have saved for my bride.

"So how did I do last night? Was I morally authoritative?"

Dora: "You were mildly amusing as well."

Duke: "Good thing I managed to stock up on Brill's Hair Cream before the show."

Dora: "I noticed that."

Duke: "I'm granting forgiveness of sins before Yom Kippur."

Dora: "How do I get forgiveness from you, Duke?"

Duke: "I can think of a few things."

Dora says her last two boyfriends said that she was the best lover they had ever had. The one before that asked her to marry him during sex, during the time he was inside of her.

Dora: "I said, 'Shut up, we're trying to have sex here.' He said, 'Really. Let's get married and have kids.' 'Shut up!' I kicked him out of the house. I couldn't continue because he kept talking during sex. If you want to talk during sex, you talk dirty. But you don't talk to me about marriage during sex."

Duke: "How many lovers have you had in your life?"

Dora: "About a dozen. Would you like to make it 13?"

Duke: "That wouldn't be appropriate as I am in a position of moral leadership over you."

Dora: "If there was anybody in the world that I would make a porn with, it would probably be with you, so I could show it all over the world. I would never let anybody tape having sex with me, except you."

Duke: "Could I do a facial?"

Dora: "Great. I could show it to everybody. A tight curvy body with the moral leader, Duke Floored."

Duke: "I was firm and strong. I was stern and hard."

Dora: "You were harsh.

"Have you thought about starting a cult? I think you'd be really good at that."

Duke: "What would I have to do to get you into shul for Yom Kippur?"

Dora: "You would have to promise to bang me in the temple."

Duke: "It's a deal."

Dora: "When I was in Israel, I wanted to go skinny dipping in the Jordan river. I wanted to do something unholy in the Holy Land."

Duke: "I've never propositioned anyone in the adult industry."

Dora: "You propositioned me."

Duke: "I meant I've never propositioned a porn star."

Asia Carrera's Pregnancy

Asia Carrera writes on asiacarrera.com:

OK, to satisfy the curious, above we have one random pic of me back when I was skinny, and a pic I took of myself last night, 12 weeks pregnant and 30 pounds heavier. The cute 36-C boobs I was once quite fond of are now these awkward 38-DD's that are really heavy and a pain in the butt. I'm actually wearing bras for the first time in my life, and I wear the evil constricting things night and day because I'm afraid of winding up with windsocks for breasts! If you're hoping to see what the rest of me looks like, forget about it! I look like someone stuck a bicycle pump in my butt and inflated me into a Thanksgiving Day parade float! Yep, tie a string to my boo-boo ring, and you can march the Asia Carrera float along in the Macy's day parade!

Y'know, there's nothing more depressing than having to look at pictures of my own skinny centerfold ass when I look and feel like the blob that ate New York!! To all the women out there who have ever felt intimidated or inferior to the airbrushed perfection of pornstars in all their naked glory, I feel your pain! I'm not sure which I hate more - my fat-ass NOW, or my skinny-ass THEN!

Matt26z writes on GFY:

For those who didn't watch, the reporting stance was fairly neutral. But the adult industries strong points were presented in a way that was much more stronger than the anti-porn crowd.

It was nice they took the time to explain Extreme Associates defense that community standards don't apply to DVDs mailed out over the internet. The other side provided no comeback against that either. The PA attorney general totally dodged it in fact.

HUSTLER ARTICLE ON BRAZIL TO BECOME BOOK, POSSIBLY FILM

September 5, 2004 -- Defying industry concerns about Brazil, journalist Joe Diamond writes in the November Hustler (on sale now) that Rio de Janeiro is "one huge brothel" overflowing with gorgeous "fantasy-caliber" hookers.

Diamond calls it a "Disney World for adults." The article is plugged prominently on the cover's coveted top-left spot, alongside a sizzling Tera Patrick. "How fitting that Tera's the issue's covergirl," says Diamond. "Rio may be the only place on earth where average guys can spend a night of bliss with girls as hot as Tera for about $60."

Diamond calls Rio the "Cidade de Meus Sonhos" -- City of My Dreams. On other trips there he's covered shoots for Peter North's "Latina Fever" series and Third World Media's "Pretty Little Latinas" line. Those reports are slated for upcoming issues of Fox Magazine.

A literary agent has contacted Diamond about turning his experiences in Rio into a book and possibly a film or TV series. Although he finished the Hustler article before adult actor Darren James returned from Brazil with HIV, Diamond's subsequent research on AIDS in Brazil revealed a number of surprising facts.

According to the United Nations' 2004 Report on the Global Aids Epidemic, the prevalence of HIV in Brazil is well below 1% of the population. The world director of the UN Joint Program for HIV/AIDS, Peter Piot, said that Brazil has one of the world's best programs for the prevention and treatment of AIDS. He said "Brazil is the first developing nation to" gives AIDS victims free antiretroviral drugs, halting the disease's advance and reducing the deaths it causes.

Moreover, according to a July 2003 PBS Newshour report: "When it comes to fighting AIDS, Brazil is one developing country that has defied the odds. In 1995, the World Bank estimated that there would be 1.2 million Brazilians infected with HIV by the year 2000. Today, the number of those estimated to be infected with the virus is half that amount."

Since he began writing for adult magazines last year, Diamond has quickly become one of the industry's most prolific journalists. In addition to Hustler, his articles about the porn biz have appeared in Club, Oui, Fox, Screw and Maxim (UK edition).

Gloomy Sunday

I just saw a great film about 1930s Budapest and the Holocaust, Gloomy Sunday.

Julane writes:

For one thing, the beginning and ending create and resolve a compelling mystery (most of the film is a flashback). For another, you may or may not believe that a song could drive people to suicide, but you must admit it is a beautiful, sad and haunting melody. The story held my interest, as did the characters. The other obvious appeal was the opportunity to gaze endlessly at the incredibly lovely and angelic Erika Marozsán. I am female and straight and I could not get enough of looking at her; I could easily believe that she might inspire a piece of music that conveyed its composer's hopeless longing for her.

According to the Los Angeles Times review of this film, "The song was actually composed in 1935 by Rezsö Seress, with lyrics by László Jávor, and did in fact accompany a number of suicides as Europe grew darker; Billie Holliday recorded a popular American version."

Porn Star Escorts

The Real Magoo writes: Exotica-2000. Is this for real? I could be f------ Chasey Lain right now?

Giorgio writes on GFY: "It is very real. Alot of porn actresses enter porn to increase their value as feature dancers and/or escorts. A porn actress will earn alot more money as an escort than filming a sex scene with less hassle. A very good escort can make over a million dollars a year."

Escorpio writes: "It's real and very expensive. Someone on the board paid $3,000 + $500 tip to f-ck Miko Lee. I don't know if that was the agency used but I do know if a hooker has made some porn she can charge way more."

Mike South writes: "Yes you COULD be f------ Chasey Lain right now but have you seen her LATELY those pics aren't exactly representative of the NEW Chasey."

Charly writes:

Most porn stars will ---- you if you have the right money. About ten years ago an English girl went to LA and established herself as a porn star. As her career came to an end she opened a "Dance" agency. You could book a porn star to come to your home and dance all night. Depending on who the star was would depend what was charged for an all night "Dance" or an hour.

JaceXXX writes: yeah, there are a bunch that did escort at one time, and haven't for years they never take down girls, only put them up.

Problems With Private

Drew Black writes on AdultDVDTalk.com:

Private has seen some very serious turnover in their executive management positions throughout the company. They had a CEO in there for a while that was suppposed to be god's gift to the internet. He pushed the company in too many non-core directions at one time. During his tenure they spent a lot of time and resources developing silly product lines and trying to creating content and subscription services for markets that simply don't exist (like PDAs and cellphones). I think you'll start seeing good things from Private over the course of the next 12- 18 months.

Thrak writes: "I know that even Skeeter was tethered by Private for his first two movies for them (No DAP, no ATM) I know they supposedly took off those restrictions starting with his third movie for them, so hopefully things are looking up for them."

2257 Changes - What Are Porn Studios/Talent Doing?

AVN's Mark Kernes reports.

Mutt writes on AdultDVDTalk.com:

I do biz with alot of webmasters and it appears to me 95% of them are ignorant of the draconian changes in the 2257 law coming up shortly or are going to bury their heads in the sand. What are the LA movie studios doing?

I've seen very little written about what the studios or porn talent are thinking. Are porn girls aware that their privacy is going to be put at risk by Ashcroft's new changes? That a studio that licenses its DVDs to web companies will have to give anybody who licenses a DVD copies of your model id's. Does this also apply to video store operators, both brick and mortar stores and online retailers?

Also if you read the new 2257 it's very vague about talent from outside the US. It's possible if you read the thing literally that American companies will not be able to use European or Canadian talent for that matter. Nobody seems to have a clue about that part of it, it may just have been worded badly. the changes are more directed at the Internet but still changes must be made by the movie studios, especially those who run sites of their own or license/sell content.

If Bush gets re-elected then you can expect a long line of pornographers and webmasters going to jail. from a webmasters' point of view, the new changes are beyond what is possible for many people. Ashcroft has vowed that 2257 will be enforced. If Kerry gets in these changes will be on the book but I dont think his administration will enforce it.

KO_Artist writes:

I read Kernes' full article on AVN and to be honest I don't see what the fuss is about. I'm not one for gov't regulation in the adult industry, but most of 2257 seems to make sense. Yes, it is a tad bit cumbersome and will be a bitch and inconvenience to keep current, but I don't see why this is evil.

Webmasters must be beside themselves because it would seem impossible to actually register every adult "image" on the net, but to ask for a valid form of ID doesn't seem unreasonable. If you can't buy a pack of cigarettes with a college ID or selective service card, you shouldn't be able to do porn either. I do not like the fact that the gov't can inspect these records with no advance warning at all. That is just plain wrong, but if it helps keep things above board and LEGAL, I don't see why studios would argue. It can even help them keep a paper trail and protect them from litigation. Anyway my point is some parts of 2257 seem to protect more than hurt.

I work for the largest adult affiliate network and internet fulfillment company and I haven't heard this discussed in the office. Maybe my ear isn't close the ground (I started there a week ago), but most parts of 2257 are outrageous. Our affiliates won't be happy. What are they going to do for content?

Complaints About Epoch/Paycom

Matt_WC writes on JBM:

Rand I love Epoch and you guys are great. But your Tech support seems overloaded right, we email and confirm that the emails have been recieved via phone and we were told yesterday that the email was on the "Radar" of your programmer and he'd look into it when he could. We have been trying to get templates up for cancel plus and upgrade plus for 3 full weeks now with emails going to epoch almost everyday. Its very frustrating and we did do that whole confirm of emails with your new spam filter. Your head programmer "Mosis" takes our templates for cancelplus & upgradeplus and doubles up the code and doesn't spend much time at all checking it and installs it and its a total mess on our templates. Plus simple emails like "How do we control the return URL off cancelplus / retentionplus" are just ignored with no response.

What I always find impressive about these threads is how quickly Epoch/Paycom respond and try to resolve problems. I don't think anybody is quicker at responding to threads criticizing them.

Orthodox teens run riot on El Al flight

A group of unruly American-Jewish youths turned Tuesday's El Al flight from New York into a total shambles.

The flight contained two groups of young adults. One was composed of over a hundred orthodox youth, flying to Israel to begin a one-year yeshiva study program. The other was a Na'aleh group, organized by the Jewish Agency.

During the flight, members of both groups began running wild. "I have never seen anything like this", said a cabin crew member. "Kids from both groups were totally out of control, behaving like hooligans. They were smoking on the flight, and drinking large quantities of alcohol. Some of them bought a bottle of whiskey from the duty free, and drank the entire bottle, arriving in Israel totally pickled".

Many of the passengers behaved inappropriately, making out on the seats. One particularly enterprising couple was caught trying to have sex in the restroom, but were interrupted before being able to fully implement their plans.

Other passengers confirmed these reports, including the fact that the orthodox youth were active participants in the mayhem.

Kendra Jade Rots In Las Vegas Jail

Gene Ross writes on Adultfyi.com:

During his KSEX show, www.ksexradio.com, Friday night, Wankus announced that he got a call from Kendra Jade who was, apparently, still in Las Vegas. Last week, Wankus announced that Jade had been arrested and was in a Sin City jail but would be on her show the following week to discuss the situation. Such was not the case.

Wankus alluded to Jade's "commitments" in Las Vegas. "Basically she's dealing with the police, still, from being in jail," he said. With, perhaps, a new KSEX curse in the making, Jade isn't the only peejay in the slammer. According to Wankus, Girth Brooks, who does a Monday night show with Lisa Sparxxx, is also incarcerated but wouldn't provide details. "A lot of KSEX hosts in jail lately," Wankus quipped. It was noted that co-ho Katie Morgan had been in jail on a federal rap.

"As time goes on I'm finding out more KSEX hosts that go to jail," said Wankus. "Thank God I haven't. But none of it has to do with KSEX. Katie's was marijuana. Kendra's was, I believe, some kind of sexual inappropiateness. Girth, I have no idea why he's in jail. I'll find out. And there was scattered others."

GFY Drama Building?

Bamboozled writes on JBM:

So I get this invite from Quiet to check out his new board Drinkmorepostmore.com. I guess FletchXXX and Quiet have started a new board and are inviting over GFY's top posters. It is in Quiet's tagline at GFY. Look for Lens to flip soon once he figures it out. You people don't realize how profitable GFY has become for Lensman since his programs have tanked. Rumor has it Juicy and Mr. Izz has upset the normal GFY'ers and there is massive post envy. So the ones with the damaged egos have started their own board.

Lowest Point in GFY History Reached Today

Mutt writes on GFY: I still can't believe two human stains thought it would be 'kewl' to try to humiliate somebody who had just lost their 46 year old mother to cancer. I thought i'd seen the lowest point when AMP called Sly a cripple and wanted to fight him but this is much lower - it really can't go any lower.

Nero Fiddles while Rome burns

Mike South writes:

It is interesting to see porners arguing about whether the porn biz is consumer driven or distributor driven. I got news for them It's really internet driven. These boys selling videos better figure it out or all the three letter acronym distributors are going to be dinosaurs.

DCypher writes on hardcoregossip.com:

Mike South Dot Com, a porn gossip site which regularly features insider scoops into Digital Playground, including digitally altered pictures of publicist Adella, alongside spurious accounts of industry happenings, scathing opinion pieces, and some of the worst spelling and grammar seen to date in the business, seems to be another victim of the latest rash of hurricane action to hit Florida.

Despite the fierce weather and the stalled hurricane Frances drifting like a lazy hooker in the warm waters of Palm Beach, Mike South is still out fishing, and bringing in the record catches. He managed to get this picture to me via fax of Digital Contract Starlet and Mainstream media darling, Jesse Jane, helping him reel in the catch of a lifetime.

15-16 yr old cheerleaders doing carwash in bikinis

Ray Vega writes on GFY:

I've noticed this in my town every weekend...the high school cheerleading squad raising money by having carwash "fund raisers". There is a professional carwash just down the street, but yet there is a line of cars filled with middle aged men around the block showing local "support". Couldn't be these perverted bastards want to see the little high school girls soaping up their cars huh? Has anyone else seen this? anyone else think it's wrong? My daughter is hereby banned from cheerleading when she's old enough.

Listen up Romans and Jews

Brujah writes on GFY: I just saw Passion of The Christ and I'm not happy with your s---. You got some splainin' to do.

Excita writes: It's a hard movie for me too - cruelty, violence and etc. I don't like it - in our lifes is too much same s--- and i don't want to see it in movies.

Boobmaster replies: But it shows exactly what Jesus had to endure to die for the sins of mankind.

CET writes: That's never made any sense to me. God is omnipotent, so why did anyone have to endure anything? Also, why does god have to sacrafice himself, to himself, to appease himself from being so pissed off about man breaking a rule he made? Sorry, the whole thing just never made any sense to me, even when I was a christian.

Boobmaster replies:

If it never made sense to you, why did you become a Christian in the first place?

(1) Rebellion (as manifested by violation of God's laws) separates man from God.

(2) Man cannot reconcile himself to God through the law because he cannot keep the law.

(3) If man violates one part of the law, he violates the whole law.

(4) The wages of Sin (violation of the law) is death.

(5) Redemption is only possible through blood sacrifice (i.e., through the blood of Christ).

(6) Salvation is freely available to all who accept Christ's sacrifice as payment for their sins.

So, everybody who went to see the movie is a moron? How can you trash someone who loved you enough to go through all that when he didn't have to?

So anyone who believes in Jesus is a moron? That would include Albert Einstein. Do you know what the word 'moron' means? Does having faith in something automatically mean that you lack intelligence? Maybe people are buying the DVD because they are looking for answers. Have you ever considered that?

Heymatty writes: Jesus loves me. But is very disappointed with Boobmaster.

Hayley Rivers Growing Bored With Porn

Hayley Rivers writes:

I am rapidly becoming bored with the adult industry. At first, everyone seemed nice enough and the deals were straightforward. Now it seems that every other producer I meet wants sex in exchange for putting me in their movies. "If it's worth it to you, I have a little offer..." they begin. Frankly, it is not worth it to use my body as a bargaining tool to be in a movie. It would seriously mess with my mind to do so. So that's it. If I get any straightforward offers through my agent, I will consider them, but no more going to see producers.

I have not experienced more satisfaction lately than in compiling research for a book (not my book). I swoon before statistics, charts and graphs, in a world where my curiosity can be well sated. I meet with government branches and get anwers to intellectual questions. They look me in the eye. They can tell I've done my research. They don't ask if I'm wearing panties under my business attire (I'm not).

I just hate wearing panties. Sometimes I wear them, sometimes I don't. When I am at home typing at the computer (like now), I am usually naked. I love fashion, but I hate wearing clothes, if that makes any sense. And now that I live alone, it is no problem to be naked most of the time.
