Email Luke Archives Photos Stars Search Luke Is Back.com AVN Oct 25 Mason Jessica Jaymes Holly Halston Ava Vincent I call her Friday afternoon, October 29, 2004. "I do my shows across the country 30 weeks of the year. I sing and dance in adult clubs. I do a Sam Kinison-tune of Wild Thing with a comedy skit. I put my own words to it depending on who is on stage. I put a pair of panties on them and then we go into the YMCA song. "When I get burned out, I take a week or two off and do normal things like cook every night and bicycle ride. That rejuvenates me. After two weeks, I've had enough of that normalness, and I'm ready to go back into that chaos, working, being in the spotlight. Entertaining is what I do the best. "Sometimes it will get frustrating because you get someone up from the audience who is drunk and a jerk..." What color is your hair these days? "I'm dark. I was blonde. Then I was two-toned with the blonde underneath and the dark on top. About two weeks ago, I switched and I'm completely dark. "I'm 36DD-22-33. I weigh about 117-120 pounds. I watch what I eat. I don't eat any sugar. I eat one meal a day. I drink a ton of coffee in the morning. Then about 4 pm is my meal. I have a piece of lean meat and a baked potato, pasta and a green salad. "I've been married about 15 years [to Murrill Maglio]. Whatever I'm feeling, I'm able to express to him. He does the same to me. I don't hold anything back. If I dream about f---ing somebody, I just tell him." How do you guys deal with jealousy? "When you're married so long, I don't think there is such a thing. In the first seven years, there is that jealousy. You're afraid that other person is going to leave for somebody else." How's your neck and back? "Halloween marks the tenth year of the [car] accident. I just had another surgery. The fusion has worked. I'm still healing. The lower back is fine. The scars are minimal. For ten years, I was in so much pain. That's over. "I feel good. I've got a really good attitude. I'm very humble. I'm at a happy part in my life." When did you last have a breast job? "January 2003. My third. I went up a cup size to DD. I felt that seven years had passed [from breast surgery number two] and I was a little concerned that jumping around on stage, what the sacks would look like. I took them out for safety reasons. I didn't need to. The sacks were in good shape. It was just a worry that I had. "Now I have silicone jell implants. I had saline the first time, after I did my layout for Playboy [in 1985]. I had a leak in one. My doctor was Michael Jackson's doctor. He worked for Playboy. I had one side that was bigger than the other. He put two used breast implants in there and one was leaking. "So after the second one was done, and six years passed, I thought it would be the same thing. But they were in great condition. I've kept them. Yesterday I pulled them out and pinched them to see what it would take to pop them. "I'm putting out my own line of movies -- Teri Weigel from Pyro Entertainment. I took a whole-page out in AVN next month [to promote the line]." How has your sexuality changed as you've grown older? "It's slowed. It's hard when you're working so much, you're so tired... When you're younger, at the flip of a hat, you'd jump it. As you get older, it's more quality than quantity." How long do you want to work in front of the camera and on stage? "That's a hard question. I ask myself that every day. I'm happy that I've kept my looks and my body in good shape. If I still keep my weight down, I could go another ten years." Have you noticed a change in the general public's attitude towards adult entertainment? "It used to be just guys coming in. Now we've got couples and girls. It's more accepted. We fought hard for that. When we came into those clubs, the dancers hated us for being porn stars. Now when we come in, we are looked up at -- by having great costumes, being professional, setting examples for the girls..." What do you think of the phenomenon of porn star escorts? "I don't think it is that big of a deal. Sometimes you do movies with people you don't even know. When I first got into doing adult stuff, it [escorting] was so frowned upon. The more you would talk to the girls, the more you would hear that they were doing one-on-ones and they'd ask you to do this guy. Now it is where they all do it. If they say that they don't, they're lying. Because they all do. Every single one of them. "I'm on the road almost every week. I've never heard of these girls before. I don't know who they are. Ten years ago, when they said, Amber Lynn was just here. Or Racquel Darrian. You knew them. "These girls [today] do everything so there is no identifying them with anything. So many of them lie about how much money they make. One girl says she makes millions of dollars a year. The top girls make between $200,000 -- $750,000 a year." Are you going to write a book one day about your career? "I am. I just haven't found the person yet to ghostwrite for me. I had a week. I went grocery shopping and to the bookstore, because I like to read. I was reading some Sydney Sheldon and authors I really like. I came across this journal and I picked it up and I thought to myself, I'm going to start writing every day exactly what I do. "I started by going to a Whole Food store. I made all the natural ingredients to make pizza. I made the pizza dough. I made the sauce from scratch. It took me five hours. I wrote it in the first entry in my journal. "I figure that when I come across somebody that I really like and who knows me, I'm going to let them write the book." Has the attitude of family and friends towards you changed over the years? "I think so. They didn't know what happened to me and why I chose to do what I did. I'm such a sweet person. I'm very nice. I have schooling. They didn't understand my choice. Through the years, it has not been a discussion. They know that I am still the same person and that whatever decision I've made must be good, because I'm good. My mom still doesn't like it but that's my mom. My dad passed away last year. We never had conversations about it. My mom would always cut it off. 'I don't want to talk about it.' "Through the years, I've tried to tell her certain things about when I go into clubs and table-dance...just to broaden her perspective. I want her to understand. What I do is help a lot of people. I show a lot of love. I've got a lot of patience. I sit with people. I talk to them through their problems. "I get involved with the girls in the back and try to help them. It's totally different from what she knows about. She's a schoolteacher. I feel like I'm a sex teacher. But she doesn't understand that. She won't accept that."

Melissa Lauren interview Selena Silver interview Denis Marti Cytherea Brianna Banks Looks Nasty On HBO 'Thinking XXX' Special She talked about her rough life. GFY thread David writes: "While I've never been a big Jenna fan, I though she looked great - soft and pretty. Sharon Mitchell looked in great shape. Wish they had spent more time with Ginger Lynn and Janine." Ajaxx writes: "Speaking of Tera Patrick, do you know anything about the "...terrible incident on the set with a male star" that made her stop doing porn for a while. It was so traumatic that she stopped having sex altogether for a period of time." Tera and her husband Evan Seinfeld allege that Devon's ex-husband Barret Blade raped Tera on the set of Island Fever 3 but none of the people who were on the set at the time can substantiate this allegation. On the contrary, they say it was impossible for anything like that to have happened on the set. Barret strongly denies the allegation. Is it normal for a stripper to kiss on the lips when giving a lapdance? Thanks to years of intensive therapy, I have slowly been recovering some of the more traumatic memories of my childhood. It was the summer of my 7th year, and my dear old Da decided to take the whole lot of us on holiday to see how the poorer peoples of the earth live. At first we went to the outback, but seeing that I was not suitably impressed, he left my siblings in Australia and sent me to an even more primitive land: Borneo. We were meant to be together, of course, but my dear old Da decided that I ought to rough it a bit and sent me to wilderness camp for six weeks. I begged him not to, but he turned me aside and forced me onto the primitive looking DC-3, the only transport scheduled to take us kids to Camp Dayak. I sucked it in, got on board, and soon enough was in the air. Several hours later, the plane developed engine trouble, and crashed into a densely vegetative swamp of sorts from from the civilization of the Dyaks. I was quickly pulled from the wreck by tiny hands of a strange tribe, a tribe that spoke only in weird clicking sounds. For the entire summer, I was forced to subsist on a sweek milky liquid excreted by one of them. More than that, I do not wish to say. Eventually, I escaped, and made my way back to civilization. I tried to tell my Da what had happened to me, but he laughed it all off and called me a liar. The memory receded into my subconscious for many years, to be teased out only slowly, thanks to my jewish therapist. But even she, I think, had her doubts. No more. You can see for yourself right here what these creatures looked like. Mine may well have been the last contact any human being had with them. Shortly after my arrival, they all took sick and died by the time of my escape. Bill Margold On AVN Publisher Tim Connelly

Rob Spallone Goes Bankrupt I like to get my work day rolling by calling my friend. Today was no exception. "Anything new?" I ask. "Nothing," Rob said. "Just paying the bills, baby. I've got to go bankrupt. I'm so pissed. I've had credit since I was 17 years old. "My credit is shot. I was an 860 [credit score] a few months ago [where 930 is best]." Why is it shot? "I haven't made a mortgage payment in four months." Why haven't you made a payment? "Because I don't live there. The house has sold. I can't pay rent and child support and a mortgage payment." Rob has been going through a messy divorce. "So why should I pay any of my other bills? The bank has ruined my credit. There wasn't enough left over after the house sold to pay the credit cards. So I called the bankruptcy lawyer. "I got my first loan at 17. I got 20 cars, a boat. Everything paid off. Now I'm screwed." Papillon Reflects On Life Papillon writes on Papillonxxx.com:
Fairy Tales Come True James DiGiorgio writes on www.simplyjimmyd.com about my interview with director Dick:
He replies to my email:
Eating AVN's Lunch My source Trevor* calls: "A company is coming in to take all AVN's business away from them." I've heard that three dozen times before. "Not to mention their tradeshow business. There's another magazine in the works. These are people who don't like AVN." White Wife Black ---- #4 Stuart from Smash Pictures emails:
I call the director, Dick, Wednesday afternoon. How did you get into the adult industry? "It was about twelve years. I needed a job. I answered an ad in the paper. It was Scott Taylor at National Video Supply. I worked there for a few years making coffee and doing deliveries. "Then I went over to Rosebud, owned by Alex de Renzy and Mike Rubinstein. I was still doing deliveries and warehouse stuff. One day in 1999, Mike Rubinstein needed somebody to shoot a movie. I told him that that was what I wanted to do. He handed me a camera and told me to do it. "Then he started Devil's Films and I started shooting for Devil's Films." Dick's shot about 150 films. Which one are you most proud of? "That's like asking somebody which of his children he loves more. I love all of them. You make dinner. Sometimes people love it. Sometimes they hate it. But making dinner is the fun part. "I stay under the radar. I don't play up the publicity end of the business as much as people want me to. Attention is not why I do it. I like making the movies. Having this conversation with somebody like you is not something I would've considered a while back but now I'm excited about it because I understand it can help me make movies." What do you love and hate about the industry? "What I love about it inspires something I hate about it -- that it is the last bastion of American capitalism. It's free from the political and corporate influences of the malling of America. Ma and Pop businesses can compete. If you try to open a hardware store, Wallmart is going to put you out of business within a year. You have a chance to start a company and let the marketplace decide whether you are successful. You have a lot of rebels, people who like to put on that mantle and wear it like a badge of honor. They're really not. "It's under the radar. Because of the moral issues, the large corporations stay out of it, which makes it more attractive for somebody like me, bohemian-looking. "What I hate about the industry is how it is treated by the people who want to control it and can't... The Cal-OHSAs..." What are your some of your best-known movies? "The Gangland series for Devils Films. Mike Rubinstein bought a Ferrari. It must've made him some money. I did a lot of trannie stuff. I worked with Skintight at Legend. We won an AVN award for Chunky On The Fourth Of July:
"I go for the specialty stuff. As John Waters said, life without obsession is meaningless." Are any of these fetishes yours? "No. A lot of people turn their perversity into cash. My sexuality is normal compared to my movies. I'm boring compared to my work. I've been seeing the same girl for five years. She happens to be asian. That's not necessarily a fetish for me. "I have to be honest with you. I guess I have no oral fetish. I'd have to admit to that." Dick says he's never dated a porn star. "Dipping your hand in the cookie jar can affect the kind of movie you make. I can't afford to alter the relationship I have with them while making a movie by having a personal interest." What do you tell civilians about you do for a living? "I don't bring it up. I find that it is a fork in the road. It is the beginning of a conversation or the end of a conversation. I try to suss people out. I was golfing with some strangers. One guy sold plumbing supplies. I looked around at who I was talking to. Typically, I tell people, whether they are in or out of the industry, that I make dirty movies. You can get a vibe from people about whether or not they... Sometimes I'll tell them just to f--- with 'em. "I was in Ohio at my grandmother's funeral. I'm sitting next to a mid-level manager at the [local] GM plant. I was sad. He was like, so, what do you do, pal? I looked over. He had a white collar on. I said, I make porno movies. In his face. That ended that conversation. Sometimes I use that as a bludgeon to make people go away. But that was when I was younger and more angry. I'm over that now. "Now I don't say anything. I don't need to have the same conversations over and over again about the public's perception about what I do. If somebody has an open mind, some perception of humanity, and I think we can have a conversation based on that, I'll always engage them. But most of the time you're dealing with perception and I'm not here to fight that fight. I don't have the patience for that changing people's minds thing." Have you noticed any change in people's perceptions of the industry in the twelve years you've been in it? "I've noticed a change in the people who are involved. It's gotten more personal. When I started, they were businesses. They were trying to fly under the radar and not attract too much attention. They were happy to be left alone. The old timers are still like that. Now I see people getting into the music like a rap music video. Look at my car. I've got a big dick. Look at my bitches. The last six years people get involved [in porn] to get noticed." Nina Hartley Wants To Lower Age Of Consent On Ginger Lynn's Internet radio show, Jewish philosopher Nina Hartley said that 18 as an age of sexual consent in America is "ridiculous." Hartley says in Europe the age of consent ranges from 13 to 15. "Women are coming into puberty earlier than ever, 12 and 13. To say to them to be celibate for five or six years is just unreasonable."

What Should A Man Do When He Is Softening? I fear that I am softening. For a number of weeks now, certain stern moral positions that I have maintained throughout my journey before God have been twisted into hitherto unrecognizable shapes by the physical positions She-Woman has imposed on me. I feel that I am on the cusp of sin so great that only a Moses or a Spielberg could get away with it in the eyes of those whose respect I covet. I turn to my friends for help, and get none. Cathy, why hast thou forsaken thy Duke in his hour of moral weakness? If only you had sought to fix me up with one of your brainy Jewish friends, I would today be a contented man, bound by laws both Oral and Written to my challah.

How to Talk to Women Over the Phone The Top 10 Reasons Why Very Intelligent Men Fail with Women On Set With Gen Padova, Brooke Hunter, Ron Sullivan I drove up to Santa Clarita Tuesday to Ron Miller's house. A storm threatened. I stepped on to Rob Spallone's set at 11:45 am. He wasn't there. Ron Sullivan was shooting the movie. One scene for a young girl - older woman line and three scenes for the lesbian gonzo Chick Flick. I wanted to try out my new camera (DiMAGE X31). I took some snaps then got home to find out that I had shot in movie mode. So enjoy. I think these clips need Quicktime. Ron Sullivan with Candy Ellison on his knee Charred hillside near the shoot in Santa Clarita Hillside I walk in on Ron Sullivan directing a scene between Brooke Hunter and Candy Ellison. It's for a young-woman older-woman line. Candy is 20yo and Brooke, Ron Miller's wife, is 36. Candy is blonde. She has several tattoos and small natural breasts. Candy has custody of her 16yo brother, so she can't go to college (and work) for another two years. Gen Padova walks in. We meet for the first time. On July 18, a fire raged all around Ron Miller's home. About 400 firefighters massed to protect the 28-homes of his community. "The fire created its own weather system," remembers Brooke. "It swooped down like a tidal wave. We couldn't even touch our windows they were so hot. "We were evacuated on a Saturday night. When the fire seemed to be moving in a different direction, we came back to check our home. As we were getting more things, they said, wait. It is going to get mandatory again. Be prepared. "They said, charge the line (a firefighter expression meaning to get your hoses ready to fire) and get in your house. You can't get out. There's only one way in and out and that was blocked. "The sun was only a red dot in the middle of the afternoon. Embers the size of your fist were falling. "I was entertaining. I was telling them to save the porn. "They told us not to get in the pool, because things could fall, but to get in the middle of the intersection and they would put their shake-and-bake blankets on us. These are metal-type blankets that keep you safe. "As quick as the fire came, it went. They didn't think they were going to be to contain it. They expected to see every structure leveled. "Afterwards, when we walked around the neighborhood, there were no sounds. There were no crickets, no birds, no electricity." Brooke says various TV stations came up to her community yesterday because a major storm was coming in and there was a threat of mudslides off the denuded hillsides. I first met Ron Sullivan in early 1996. He was living with Nikki Sin. Still living in Southern California, she's been married for five years. She works as a stripper. Ron introduced her to her future husband. Ron's shooting vignettes. Instead of just cutting to the chase, he invents scenarios for each scene. He doesn't write them out. He just wings it. He said to Brooke, "I want you to be amused by her. Hide that feeling and just exploit her. Take advantage of her. Then get rid of her." Production manager Kenny Carolina is like Martha Stewart without the insider trading as he slides frozen pizza into the oven. Wanting to beat the storm and threat of being shut-in by mudslides, I fled the shoot at 12:30pm. A few minutes later, Rob Spallone arrived. As the rain poured down, the final three scenes of the day were shot. There was a delay to get a confirmation from AIM that Gen Padova tested negative for gonorrhea. The day's work ended by 5 pm. Gen writes: "The shoot went awesome. Candi really rocks and knows how to have fun with another girl. One of my favorite girl/girl scenes so far."

Running Into Bill Margold At The Post Office I was sending off review copies of my new book. I saw Bill Margold walking in. He said I got most everything right in my transcription of our interview Monday, except that the Freeman case was in 1988, not 1986 as I wrote, and my mistake made him look bad. He talked about his appearance on Pervert Radio.com tonight. He got looks from women in the post office line. Bill says he couldn't work out how to listen to Pervert Radio on his computer. We reminisced about his days at Vista Del Mar juvenile hall and how his juvenile record kept him out of the Marines and the Navy. Bill's looking for an apartment complex to manage. He seems a tad melancholy these days. Life is hard when you grow old and you are not married and you don't have money in the bank. I know. I see so much of myself in Bill. He's a surrogate father figure. The End Of A Porn Career She went to Jim South's World Modeling. She'd done a dozen movies. She got recommendations to visit various companies and shooters. One guy was drunk. A former porn star, he was now a director. He told her that if she slept with him, she could have a role in his new feature. She refused. She felt like the industry was degrading her. On her third visit of the day, she was asked to pose while on her knees. Suddenly, the white guy in his 30s for the small company, put down his camera and slipped his unsheathed penis inside of her. She was appalled. He pumped three times, pulled out, and ejaculated on her back. She was stunned. She cleaned up. She left. She decided to never do porn again. She drove home. She took a long hot shower. She didn't leave her apartment for days. She'd told herself that if porn ever made her feel like s---, she would quit. It has and she has. When World Modeling hears about their girls getting treated this way, they reprimand the shooter and/or stop sending him girls. What Are My Sexual Fantasies? We watched Lost in Translation. We ate five-layer bean dip warmed over in my microwave. We ate a bowl of salad. I ate strawberry cheesecake icecream. After the end of the movie, we cuddled on my floor on top of one duve and under another. Her arms circled me. I knew that we should not get too close as she was unclean. "What are your sexual fantasies?" she asked. "I don't really have any. In theory, two women at once sounds hot but I don't think I'd ever like to do it. Too emotionally disturbing." "For you?" "No. I'm capable of meaningless sex. It would be disturbing, I think, to whatever relationship I was in. "I like sex. Vaginal. Oral. But that's about it. I've been writing about porn for a decade. I don't have any fantasies left. I just like to do it in the dark under the covers." "You need to get into better shape," she said. "I need to work you out." Too Bizarre Khunrum writes: "If I recall the incident Albo quickly became winded chasing Duke up the avenue. That must be a horrid sight. Duke, what are you doing?

You're dead broke, don't have a penny, you begin to sweat, your hands shake and your stomach churns, you are at a train station, you just need something to hold you over, but you need the money, would you blow a guy for a hit? If the answer is yes you're a junkie and if you even find yourself asking yourself this question you're a junkie.

Bill Margold Interview I call Bill at his PAW (Protecting Adult Welfare) office at 3p.m. We haven't spoken for about three months, and only a few times in six years. I first met Bill in January 1996 and he was an important source for me for the next three years. Then I burned that bridge. Bill: "We're preparing for the Legends of Erotica show [conducted with help from Ray Pistol] in Las Vegas January 7. The real hall of fame. The concrete blocks of cement. Rocco Siffredi is going to be inducted this year along with Johnny Keyes, Angel Kelly, Mai Lin, and possibly Lynn LeMay. "Rocco is coming over to represent a mainstream film -- Anatomy of Hell." It's another ugly film by Catherine Breillat. Here's the plot from Imdb.com: "Unpleasant people have unpleasant graphic sex with one another to prove that men and women are unpleasant to each other." Johnny Courageous writes on Imdb.com:
Phil writes Duke: "From what I understand, this is a crappy, pretentious, chick/Euro-fag movie. As such, you would probably enjoy it immensely given your taste for films like Legends of the Fall and other girl-oriented fare. Probably best to bring a box of tissues for your tears. Hey! Maybe you could do a triple date with Bruce David and Mark Cromer. Just a thought." Duke replies: "I happen to be having regular sex with a beautiful 24yo woman...and we're going to watch Lost in Translation at my hovel tonight. You can come over and join us in a threesome if you like? Sometimes I need to go the bullpen and bring in a closer, if you get my drift." Phil replies: "No offense, but there's got to be something dreadfully wrong with her...if, indeed, she is actually a real flesh-and-blood woman. I have my reservations. As for your invitation, thanks, but no thanks. First, it sounds pretty gay. Second, "she" would leave you in a second after meeting me. Third, it sounds pretty gay. By the way, Lost in Translation is another chick/homo flick. Maybe you should start watching movies made for guys, not gays." Another time perhaps? Phil replies: "You are definitely a dense one. I think I was pretty clear on the "no thanks." Emphasis on "no," by the way. However, I'm sure Bruce David wouldn't mind a relaxing evening with a lame-ass movie, you and your, uh, "lady." Give him a call. I'm sure he'd be glad to hear from you. He's a real progressive, you know. "Anyway, good luck with your date. May your tighty-whitey briefs and mullet 'do carry the day." .................. Bill Margold says: "It's wintertime in the X-rated industry. Rain is coming. It cuts down on attendance everywhere. "I had started a modest campaign stating that porn needed more bush. I was trying to promote the reintroduction of fur into fornication. That didn't go far. I'm the proverbial pessimist. I believe Bush will win. "We know nothing about Kerry. Has anybody asked John Kerry how he stands on adult material? At least Bush is a visible enemy. I'm not even sure he's that much of an enemy." How busy is the industry? "It's as busy as it has ever been." We talk about the quality of the product. "If the audience would dare to complain about the quality of the material, maybe it would get better, but as they don't admit to watching it, they get what they deserve." Anyone panic over the Cal-OHSA fines of T.T. Boy's companies? "No. T.T. has decided to contest it. He could be the new Hal Freeman [referencing 1988 CA Supreme Court decision that porn performer are actors, not prostitutes]. You won't see the man running away from the fight. That's why he's a legend in his own time." What do you think about the Yankees? [They are Bill's favorite baseball team. They lost four straight games to Boston, who are now leading the World Series 2-0 over St. Louis.] "As soon as it happened, I said tomorrow is April and everything begins again. "Once the Red Sox win this, they'll have nothing more to complain about, and next year the Yankees will win 120 games and the Red Sox won't even make the playoffs. Sometimes it is better never to have won and complain about it. Once you've won, what are you going to do about your next act? "I have that same strange worry about the [Detroit] Lions [who have never won a Super Bowl]. Now they're 4-2. If I ever win a Super Bowl, is my life complete at that point? What will I do for my next act? It's a dangerous thing to get what I really really want. Then I'll have nothing more to complain about." What did you think of Shawn Green's decision not to play on Yom Kippur? "I totally agree with it. You have to believe in your god." Did you ever refuse to have sex on Yom Kippur? "Absolutely not. The High Holidays always fall around my birthday -- October 2nd. For the first five years of my career, I always made sure I worked on that day." How are you doing personally? "I'm here. I miss Rob. The excitement of the first half of this year is some of the best fun I've ever had in this business. That [Lowdown Productions] office was just a joy. It was like ten merry-go-rounds crammed into a little room. I couldn't wait to get down here to see who we would get to deal with next. Now it's quiet. It won't get busy again until after the convention. It's cold and slower. We get people in Jim South's office but the other offices are empty. "I'm very sorry about what's happened between Rob and Mike Davis. I thought one of the nicest days of the year was when we were sitting up at that house [owned by Mike] on that Sunday afternoon [April 25, 2004] thinking about the future. You had just lost your position. There was something tranquil about that. Everybody was happy. Now all they do is fight and they get it out on the Internet... It hacks away at their soul. "I miss that constant turmoil that was here the first half of the year. No matter what was going on, there was always something you could laugh about. "I just hope nothing bad happens to Rob in the long run. The law moves in mysterious ways and the law has no soul. I worry about him. He's a little too blase." Bill wants to run for the board of the Free Speech Coalition. "Dissent is not disloyalty. Dissent is the essence of free speech. "I'd like to create a union [for performers]. I can't figure out six strong performers to put it together. I have approached Mr Marcus and asked him if he'd like to be nominated for the board of directors of Free Speech. He's one of the people that the other performers look up to. We need talent representatives on the board. "The talent are looking to the outside world [such as AFTRA] to help them, but I do not believe that the outside world is our friend. "Back in 1993, we had better leaders [from amongst the talent]. Sean Michaels, Hyapatia Lee, Nina Hartley, who was the best of all of them. "Tony Tedeschi is cool. After all these years, we seem to be on the same wavelength. Part of that is our mutual adoration of the Yankees. He was talking about the Yankees and found out that I could talk about them on an even more knowledgeable plane, having been a fan of them for 50 years. "Free Speech is planning a general meeting December 2nd to introduce the new executive director -- Michelle L. Freridge. I had two hours with her. Of course, it was more my telling her about everybody on the board and the history that she needs to learn. And I am very happy to be the teacher. Who better than a person who has been through all of this? "I do not refer to myself as a historian, but as a practorian. "I did a major interview with Pervertradio and I'm doing the second half tomorrow night." Do you stay in touch with Adam Glasser aka Seymore Butts? "He's having his own demons right now because he's a St. Louis Cardinals fan. He's also an Arizona Cardinals fan. I'll see him for sure the day the Lions play the Arizona Cardinals. We'll watch it up at his house. "One of the proudest moments of my career was when I inducted him into the XRCO Hall of Fame [August 19, 2004]." Do you think success has changed Adam? "No. I think the pressures of business have flustered Adam. He may be overwhelmed that there is a price for fame and glory. "Adam walked out on the football field in 1980 at [age 18 at] Coldwater Canyon. He was still in high school. He was introduced to me. He said he wanted to get into the business. I said no. I tried to keep him away as long as I could. "Then he opened up a gymnasium [where John Stagliano shot]. I helped Adam. I made introductions. I directed him in his first scene (Immorals, 1990). His name was Bubba Brando. I directed him in the famous credit card scene where each person was dressed like a credit card who came to collect from Lee Carroll, a fate worse than death. Having sex with Lee Carroll is like climbing into a washing machine. "Within a year, he called and we talked about the concept of Seymore Butts. In January of 1992, we began to make 'em." What are the talent complaining about these days? "The proliferation of the STDs. They never seem to be totally healthy before they go back out to work again. They're so impatient that before they have a chance to repair, they break down again. "If I had a shot at every person before they entered this business, I think the mental health of each person would be more stable." Bill wants to raise the minimum age for porn to 21 and to separate porn from the escort biz. "I have this pipe dream of a porn tax. If this industry is so anxious for respectability, a porn tax would give us the same validation as cigarettes, alcohol and gambling. "The people who want to keep this business off balance are the lawyers who've made their livelihoods off this business preying on misunderstandings..." Mondays With Lyra Monday mornings always go better with Lyra. I called KB in San Diego. Lyra answered the phone. Lyra: "What are you doing?" Duke: "Thinking about you." Lyra: "You want me to convert?" Duke: "I do." Lyra: "I'm ready. When are you coming to San Diego?" Duke: "What's going on in San Diego?" Lyra: "Jack. But I'm going on." Duke: "Where are you and KB going?" Lyra: "He's taking me to work. We missed my train because he was bitching and moaning about girls." KB: "The 'B' in 'KB' stands for 'benevolence.'" Lyra: "I don't know what he means by that. "I'm a loan officer now." We all bust up laughing. "It's kinda like my old job. "Refinances and mortgages." Duke: "Did you have to sleep with anyone to get the job?" Lyra: "No. I just said I had a preternatural nick for sales." I bust up. Lyra: "That was the largest Jewish laugh I've ever heard." KB complains that girls he likes are sleeping with guys who like trannies. Lyra: "He tried to get roadhead for the ride to work. I told him I'd give him $8. "I'm not giving it to him. I don't suck dick. "He freaked me out at the bagel shop. He came up behind me and squeezed my ass because I'm wearing tight pants. It really pissed me off." Duke: "Normally you like that." Lyra: "Not today. I'm sick today. I shouldn't even be going into work. "I just woke up with a sore throat." Duke: "Ask KB to massage your tonsils." Lyra, audibly disgusted: "Oooooh. Yuck." KB: "I could massage your kidneys if you want." KB wipes the phone off before he takes it. KB: "It's take a former dealer to work day. "Once she was getting people hooked.... Now she's getting everybody hooked on refis." Duke: "How can she be a loan officer? Don't they have moral standards for that?" KB: "You would think. "She told me she got a job at a mortgage company. "I said, do they know about your felony? "She said yes. Do they know what it is for? Kevin, I look up on the wall at my boss's office. He's got two posters of Scarface. I don't think it's a big problem. "Needless to say, I'm going to get a job where she's working." Duke: "Is this place legit?" KB: "I don't know." "Is it legit?" "I don't know. All I know is that she's got a place where she goes every day and claims that she's working. She calls me and tells me to buy a mortgage. I explain to her that I don't have a steady income. She says, that's ok. Just buy a house and you'll have money." "Does she know what she's talking about?" KB: "Can you spell equity?" Lyra: "E-Q-U-I-D-Y." Duke: "Did you read the series in the San Diego Tribune about the sex industry revolution?" KB: "I don't need to read it, bro. I live it. I went to my friend's strip bar the other night, the place that I'm banned from. I have a self-imposed ban. I have three chicks in there and two of them are huffy and puffy. They hate me because I went psychotic on them last week. I just told them that they were white trash and beneath me and that they should lick my ass." Duke: "Why did you say that?" KB: "One stood me up last night and the other one is a whack job. "When I pulled into the parking lot the other night, I said to the door guy, are Heather or Claudia working tonight? He said yup, they're both working. But you don't want to go in there anyway. Vice [police] just raided the place. "Then I went to another club. They just got raided. They're cracking down bigtime." Duke: "How long did Lyra last with her waitressing job?" KB: "A few days at the Japanese steak house. She went home with the bartender one night. He takes a corner too fast and gets into this horrific car accident that blows her fingernails off. It f---- up her finger. She's going to physical therapy for her little finger. She thinks she's going to be collecting $10,000 in a couple of weeks from his insurance. "I am currently seeing one chick. That's all." Duke: "What were you complaining to Lyra about?" KB: "I need more time to write my book. I'm unfocused. And I'm stressed out because I need to plug mensniche.com as much as possible." Duke: "Why don't you have Lyra ghostwrite your book?" KB cracks up. Duke: "Did you ever sleep with Lyra?" KB: "Once. No sex. My boss was too busy trying to have intercourse with her. We were in a castle in the Hollywood Hills. She was so scared that she had to crawl in bed with me as a last resort. We were in a bed with no covers and a talking parrot that was screaming, 'Whose coming up?' "At 4am, she yelled, 'Shut up you stupid f---ing bird.' The bird said, 'Whose coming up? F--- you. F--- you.' "The bird died later. It got eaten by a coyote." After dropping Lyra off at work, KB calls me back: "She has no idea what she's talking about, but it makes her cute. There's no doubt in my mind that she has an office full of guys that love watching her walk in all sexy-looking. She's so cute, they just tolerate her." I hear KB is talking to some major porn companies to do their marketing. He might even get a Vice President title and a secretary as cute as Lyra. KB consults for mensniche.com, Hollywoodpop.com, the playersball.com and baycouples.com. Chaim Amalek writes Duke: "Your ready access to such women presents a two-fold problem for you. From your perspective, how can you possibly date civilians when you have access to that sort of woman to satisfy your baser instincts? And on the other side, how can any regular woman who knows what you have access to ever think she can compete with this self-refreshing pool of pulchritude that is never more than a few keystrokes away from you?" An Orthodox Jewish woman can satisfy my soul in a way these porn girls never can. Chaim replies:
A few months ago, I had a flirtation over the phone and online (never
in person) with a beautiful shiksa Lyra (girl
on the right). She was 22 and she told me she was majoring in "media
studies" at a community college. My Conversation With Rob Spallone DukeFloored: hey pal Old-school massage parlors, peep shows persist Concerned About Ariana Jollee's Creampie Grant Michaels writes:
