Proud Of Kat Slater

Selena Silver writes on ADT about the new head of production at LFP:

I am so proud of Kat.

She told me over a year and a half ago how much she wanted the job she just got at Hustler. I always believed she would get it too.

Hustler is going to do very well with her. They always had their Barely Legal market with Clive, but before some of the recent additions like Van Styles and Denis Marti and then Jack the Zipper and Eon McKai they were a little weak on the gonzo side. Even Kat's movies at Hustler (she directed like 23 or so there) were softer than she wanted. There was a lot you weren't allowed to do there!

I know she kept pushing and pushing to make Hustler Video what it could be. I mean just the Hustler name and marketing prowness could dominate the porn biz if the movies were equal to the name.

With her at the helm and the directors they are using today... wow, they are going to do well.

Her plans for their market segmentation seem very sound.

If you haven't seen her Cum Swappers line yet - go get it right away (start with #1 that I am in! lol). Kat is SO incredibly sexy... she has a way of talking and looking at you that just makes you want to jump her bones.

In Cum Swappers, she is shooting a twisted female POV where she doesn't actually perform, but her hands do. She touches pussy, she strokes cocks... she dirty talks better than anyone I have ever known.

Her story is pretty amazing too...talk about a driven woman. After spending 8 years getting a mainstream movie done for MGM, she went porn.

Here is a link to an article from Las Vegas Weekly about her story.

Here is an link to a AdultFYI.com article about an interview I did with her back in the internet radio days.

Here is a pic of her.

I have some pics I didn't post.. I do have kissing pics, and nudie pics... but, she is a big time coporate executive now...it wouldn't be right to post those! I also have pics of her taking her panties off while still wearing jeans like in Zoolander...

Congrats, Kat!

Fred Salaff Update

The American pornographer resides in a Panamanian jail with his crew.

Fred's friend Carlos writes Bill Margold:

Fred was led in an ambulance to Panama City's Santo Tomás hospital because of what I understand is high blood pressure. The full story is at www.fredsalaff.com. I know he was given nytroglicerin pills, and the lawyer got his handcuffs removed when at the hospital.

I am very worried about the state of his health, because we know, from our conversations with him, things were very, very bad at the prison.

I just read the AINEWS.COM article on FOXE 14, and I am soooo glad that you are undertaking that challenge and highlighting Fred's plight.

Chris also told me about the telephone call you two had tonight. Please help me spread the word that the situation is critical and that all help is needed. I want him to leave the prison, but not FEET FIRST!!!

Uncle D Of TouchYourToes.com

I met blonde photographer Uncle D at the Internext during a conversation with Dugmor of JoinRightNow.com.

Uncle D writes:

My gig is more of bridging the gap between main stream and the adult world with my Uncle D character giving my fans a chance to live vicariously through my eyes when I travel the world shooting girls with that J Lo Booty & Beyonce bounce.

My work focuses more on where I'm going and what I do as apposed to what's happening in the adult world. I'm pretty low key in that area besides having a two-page spread graciously offered to me in buttman Magazine run & owned by John Staglianno of Evil Angel. I've also just been featured in FHM mag out of Amsterdam with a Q & A of how I get random girls to stick their non-nude butts in my face for photos, plus a stream of other mainstream appearances on diffent TV shows here in Canada & the UK.

Is Paul Cambria Just About The Money?

I hear the top porn lawyers earn about $400 an hour. Clyde DeWitt? Lawrence Walters?

I emailed Paul Cambria, figuring that he must be the most expensive.

Paul replied:

Not true at all and by the way I never told [Rob] Black I would represent him for 100k. I had a conflict because I was already representing another person who might have been brought into that investigation. I told him I would help him get a lawyer and I did help him and that was it.

There are many First Amendment Attorneys who charge more than I do. In fact probably all of the California attorneys charge more than I do.

I am not in it for the money. I have been fighting for civil liberties for many years. Remember I was Larry Flynts lawyer when they shot him and my partner and I tried his next case the next year in Atlanta with bulletproof vests on. Obviously there is more than money involved for me.

It is no fun going into the Bible belt and putting up with abuse by prosecutors, judges, right wing nuts and the like. This is not easy duty but I love it. I live for it. Next to my four daughters, it is what makes my life worth living. There is no greater thrill for me than being hired to defend the First Amendment against the greatest of odds, and prevailing.

Here is Gene Ross's write-up January 27 of Wankus on KSEXradio.com commenting on Rob Black's interview on YNOT radio:

In what Wankus called a priceless clip, Black is asked about his relationship with Larry Flynt. Black responds then brings attorney Paul Cambria into the picture. Wankus also noted that Cambria threatened KSEX when the station had Tera Patrick on as a peejay. "We wrote a very nice letter back to him saying f--- you. And he [Cambria] lost."

Black calls Flynt a piece of s---.

"He is what he is," says Black. "He's a piece of s---. His lawyer Paul Cambria is just like kicking himself in the balls. Because on a lot of interviews Cambria likes to run around and say that he referred me to Lou Sirkin. And now that it's all done let me tell you what Paul Cambria did. Somebody put me on to him because they were like you got to get Paul. I talked to him and Cambria said, you know what? I'll take your case but you got to give me $100,000 right now. I said, I don't have a hundred thousand cash right now. He goes, well., he goes that's the only way I'm going to do it. And $100,000 and then we'll probably need another $100,000 and he just kept going on and on.

"He goes can you get it from anybody in the business? And I go, no. He goes you don't have any friends? And he's like, oh yeah, I forgot. You fight with everybody. I'm, like, look at this motherf---er. He goes, well, let me make some calls. He goes I got a guy out of Florida. And he mentions this jerkoff's name. There's a guy out of Denver who's good. He goes, then there's this guy out of Cincinnati, Lou Sirkin. He's alright. And I go, well, I don't know. Let me see what I can do. He goes why don't you see if you can put together that money and then we'll talk again."

Fred writes me:

I am outraged that you would ask, even rhetorically, whether an attorney practices his profession "for the money."

Surely you are aware that we lawyers fulfill a sacred calling, protecting the rights of one and all. Just as you fulfill the sacred calling of journalism, casting light on the dark corners of society and making known what evil lurks therein, we too exist for the public good.

In fact, I often feel quite guilty when I cash the checks that my clients give me. I have no doubt that Mr. Cambria feels the same.

Even Rich University kids Want To Be Porn Kings

From NBC:

SAN DIEGO -- A UCSD student and the porn video he made are at the center of a campus controversy.

York produced and starred in the adult video with an unidentified woman. The tape was broadcast several times all over campus on a student-run television station.

York told NBC 7/39 that he is planning to make more adult videos. In fact, he plans to release a new one in March.

"If the administrators or anyone want to press any legal action, they're going to be up a big creek without a paddle and have a fight on their hands." said York.

JJ writes: "I think this is just another sign that smut has reached it saturation point. The pendulum is going to swing back."

What's Going On With Tony Lovett?

He used to direct for VCA under the name Antonio Passolini. What is he doing now?

The Establishment Clause: Porn's Saving Grace?

Troy, a college student, writes:

I just got back from a lecture titled "Sex, Politics, and the Constitution" by Ed Rubin, Dean-elect of Vanderbilt University's Law School. Although I ultimately saw Rubin's lecture as soapbox for his ultra- liberal views, he did raise a few points that I wanted to share with you...

-Point #1: Exit Polls in the 2004 Presidential election showed that the main issue voters were concerned with was the decline of morality in America. Rubin argued that what Americans contemporarily see as a decline in morality is actually nothing more than a change in morality. Before the secularization and the modernization of the Western world, people abided by a morality of higher purposes dictated by Judeo-Christain doctrine. With the advent of modernization and secularization people began to abide by a new morality: that is, a morality of self-fulfillment that is dictated by human reason and aspiration. This ethical dynamism accounts for the proliferation of such morally questionable issues as gay marriage, abortion, and mainstream pornography.

-Point #2: The Constitution facilitates this morality of self-fulfillment with The Establishment Clause, which proscribes the creation of law emanating from religious intent or purpose. Therefore, such things as abortion, gay marriage, and pornography should never be deemed unlawful since any opposition against it argues from a morality of higher purpose, which is inherently a religious morality.

CBS News Follows Tommy Gunn

Jason Sechrest writes:

I'm totally smitten with new straight male sex performer Tommy Gunn and apparently so is the east coast! CBS Evening News' eastern division has been following Tommy around his home and his "work place" all week for a look at how he went from a quiet humble existence to the loud city where he now gets naked with the hottest women in the world and owns his own home.

Porn Lover Dana Harris

Sex positive reporter writes in Variety:

As the closest thing Daily Variety has to a porn industry reporter, I get a lot of free adult films.

Feminism, however, has always had a hard time allowing for women who like porn.

There are women who see no inherent conflict between feminism and pornography. Writers like Village Voice sex columnist Tristan Taormino, sex writer Susie Bright, porn star Nina Hartley, former porn star Annie Sprinkle and prostitute-turned-Ph.D. Carol Queen are quick to counterpunch, but their views often are viewed as voices from the fringe. (Should that seem too harsh, consider that their work often comes with the label of "sex positive" -- an adjective that would be as redundant as "carbon-based lifeform" if it described a man.)

DCypher writes on HardcoreGossip.com about Dana Harris:

We first met right after the last HIV outbreak started turning porn valley into a media circus and showed me that some of the smartest people I knew in this business could really act like flaming retards. Sorry for the slam on all of you flaming retards who don't like being compared unfavorably with porn folk, as well as one for all the platypus enthusiasts.

I had the greatest conversation with her for a brief window of time during the last AEE Con in the Pure Play booth with Carly. Does anyone remember Pure Play now?

Dana and I talked about postmodern contemporary literature mostly. Apparently both of us are avid fans of the genre. She is amazingly intelligent, sweet, and reserves judgment when she eats off the porn fork, which I appreciate. It is so much nicer to meet someone like Dana Harris than someone like Sun Chyng.

Here's the part that DCypher was afraid to put on his website but left in his diary, which I just happened to stumble across when I broke into DCypher's apartment last week:

Dana Harris is not only amazingly intelligent, sweet and reserved in judgment of porn, but she is tall and slender and sexy. Her hair is so silky. I love running my fingers through it.

After we talked all afternoon about postmodern contemporary literature, we took a ride on a gondola in the Venetian while I sang Italian arias to her intrepid reporting.

Rob Spallone steered our gondola and provided doo-whop backups as I segued into a mass by Mozart.

Dana said I could call her, "Dear Dana." She said I was more intelligent, a more considerate lover, and a better writer than this certain Australian we both know.

I told her that she reminded me of my first wife Bunny Luv and I offered her the opportunity to star in one of my movies.

She was so touched that she started crying.

Together we can create a better America and help protect Christian youth against the dangers of Satanism.

The House That Sex Built

From Celebrity Justice:

Sex with Paris Hilton has bought Rick Solomon a hot multi-million dollar property in the posh Hollywood Hills with gorgeous views for miles. Solomon talked to "CJ" a year ago about the potential for massive wealth from sales of the video, "One Night in Paris," featuring his sex romp with the heiress. And when asked if he stood to make millions, Solomon responded, "For sure."

Well, it appears Rick's big dollar dreams have come true. Sources tell us Solomon just closed the deal Tuesday on the home, which was previously owned by two Hollywood big wigs, and paid $3.4 million. The property features a pool, a master bathroom with a view from the shower and an amazing media room.

We're told Solomon solicited the advice of his good buddy, actor Tobey Maguire, who lives just down the street. Apparently, the "Spiderman" star accompanied Solomon on several visits to the house and gave the purchase his approval. Paris' former flame and video co-star says he feels no guilt over raking in the sex stash.

And sources tell us Solomon did just that, to the tune of at least $7 million. Last September, porn distributor David Joseph of Red Light District told "CJ" the tape is on fire. "'One Night in Paris' had sold more copies than any video in the history of porn," Joseph told us.

Mr Marcus Ready To Sue KABC Channel 7 TV For Defamation

Mr Marcus calls Thursday afternoon. "You remember when they were running the HIV stuff on the news [in April of 2004]? Remember how they were showing Darren [James's] face and name all over the place? Included in that, they used a clip of me, him and this girl. They never distinguished who was who. Two black guys. They kept saying HIV, HIV. 'Darren James seen here in this clip.'

"I got a lot of phone calls from people [wondering if Marcus was HIV positive when he was not]. It just made everything awkward for me for a while.

"Almost a year later, it ain't really died down.

"I called Channel 7 after 42 people called me. I said, you don't need to include a clip of me in your HIV story. They said, ok, we're going to take it off. They never did.

"They would never do this to a Hollywood star.

"The industry is on a bigger scale than it used to be -- a lot more celebrity, power, money. But what kind of rights do we have as a performer? Are we less of an individual because we choose to do this as a living? There are a lot of socially-oriented financially-driven career-driven performance-driven people in this business. It's scheduled. It's planned.

"With the industry putting people on payroll, it's obvious that we are employees.

"The days of all the performers being f------up is changing. There are some types of family issues that everyone grows up with.

"When I first started in the business, I couldn't tell people what I was doing because I had to hear that all the time. That's what made me be an advocate. If you think this is the face of porn, I'm going to show you that it is changing."

Chris Mallick Booted From Epoch

His partners got rid of him. I thought he had ownership in the company (the most important credit card processor in porn)? Now he's been shut out of his own company.

He was the CEO and posted on the webmaster boards such as GFY.

I hear Mallick's partners at Paycom were unhappy with the way Mallick blew through company money. You'd see Chris at tradeshows with his bodyguards and private suites. He lived the high life. He dropped tons of cash.

I wouldn't be surprised if his monthly expenses weren't $150,000. Was this all for business?

Was this for Kimmy Kim to sit on his lap? No.

He leased a jet and used it for business and personal travel.

Mallick had more than his share of porn stars, hookers and chicks but nobody says he has a drug problem.

I'm sure he'll end up somewhere in porn.

Chris Mallick posts on GFY:

To clear the air, some basic facts:

1. The rumors that I quit as CEO are not true. I did not quit my job as CEO of Paycom.

2. It is true, however, that I am no longer the CEO of Paycom and I have not been the CEO since February 11th.

3. I continue to own my shares in Paycom; nothing has changed whatsoever as to my ownership percentage, nothing.

4. It is not possible to reach me through Paycom email or on my old cell phone number. Those have changed. If you want my number and / or email, please reply to this post and I will contact you ASAP.

5. If you have received a reply from me at Paycom or ePassporte since February 11th at 5PM PST, the reply did not come from me. I would like to know if you have any such email reply. The same is true for my cell phone voice or text messages; I have not had those since the 11th either.

6. I am not leaving the credit card issuing or processing industry in any way, shape or form.

7. It is not proper for me to say anything more at this point, but I will, soon.

Any of you that know me, know that I will give you cold, hard, reliable and accurate facts, but only when appropriate. I feel like one of my strengths is communication. I believe in it whole-heartedly and that won't change. So you will be hearing from me soon as to this event and as to my plans for the future. I hope that when those plans are announced you will be happy and excited for me and about the prospects they will bring. Well, not everyone will be happy or excited..

Brad Shaw posts: "Chris, you helped to bring Epoch back from near death. I remember the days when Epoch checks were far far behind, now they are like clockwork. Sad day."

AlienQ writes: "Now I know why it is raining in LA."

Rand writes on GFY:

OK guys. Chill. This industry is on pins and needles all the damn time. Granted, in many ways I can understand why. But Epoch's recent management changes do not signal the end of anything. Officially, all that has happened, and I do mean ALL that has happened, is that Chris Mallick has departed as CEO of Paycom. The two guys who've been at Epoch from day one, Clay Andrews and Joel Hall, are still here doing what they've always done. They are looking out for their business and their clients with a long-term objective on all matters. As many of you know, Epoch has always taken on the role of fighting for the longevity of this industry. Those same guiding principals are still in place. Sometimes a change in management is what is necessary for a company to grow. For the record....

1) Epoch has not incurred any fines.

2) Epoch's merchant banking relationships are excellent.

3) Epoch's day-to-day operations remain unchanged.

4) Epoch's plans to expand services in the EU remain unchanged.

5) Epoch has not increased scrubbing.

6) Epoch's portfolio is strong and within all card association rules.

7) Epoch is fully committed to long term objectives.

Those people who feel the need to start rumors of any nature in regard to Epoch or its operations are not doing anyone any favors. The relationships of this industry are important and "Chicken Little's" need to get checked. I can say without any hesitation that everything at Epoch is fine. Any rumor serves some ulterior motive. If anything said anywhere does not agree with the points I made above, it is simply false. End of story. Really guys, this is a management decision. It happens every day in business. It's nothing more. Business as usual.

Tyler Faith Tumbling Like a Ton of Bricks

From JasonCurious.com:

Around this time last week, I had Tyler Faith over to the studio to shoot a hardcore sex scene with a stud who was right up her alley!

I know Faith's taste like I know the back of my hand and this boy was it. Collegiate, flushed cheeks, slender but defined build and a 13 inch cock. It was to be the shoot of a lifetime! That is, until Tyler decided to retire. Not even ten minutes into the scene, Tyler says, "I can't do this. Jason, I'm sorry."

I send the poor well-hung boy off the set for a moment to speak with her in private and she continues, "He is so hot, but I just can't! I don't know what's wrong with me. This is so unlike me. I've never been so in love and I've never felt this way about a person in my whole life. I don't want to have sex with anyone but him. I don't even want to do scenes anymore."

Of course, Tyler is speaking of KSEXradio host and station manager, Wankus. The two have been dating seriously for the past few months and have caused quite an uproar amongst industry insiders, from ex-beau Kurt Lockwood's violent outburst at The Jim Holiday Memorial to KSEX staple Daisy's retirement from the porn community altogether.

Now it seems Tyler may have someone else to answer to, her best friend Jill Kelly. Faith is a contract star for Jill Kelly Productions and no longer doing scenes could lead to doing production behind the camera, as in the case of past JKP girls gone lovesick, ie. Haven.

Personally, I think the two are an unlikely but perfect match. I would've never put the two together on my own, but when you see them standing next to each other, you know there is a special bond that probably only they can understand. And I think that's the way they want it. Throughout all the hoopla surrounding their "togetherness," the two themselves have remained the most quiet. Guess what that means, folks? It's true love.

Mike McPadden aka Selwyn Harris Interview Part Two

Mike is the editorial director of MrSkin.com and the editor of Mr. Skin's Skincyclopedia : The A-to-Z Guide to Finding Your Favorite Actresses Naked.

This interview was so hot I had to break it into two parts to avoid inflicting heart attacks (from excessive excitement) on my audience.

Mike: "I saw Inside Deep Throat this past weekend. I was appalled by it. It was the same story. Hollywood is the only defense between you simpletons sitting in the audience and fascism. Don't even bother thanking us. We'll make this movie and thank ourselves. Just show up and pay for it. It was just awful.

"There are so many fascinating stories to be told and all of it ignored so that we can have Larry Flynt sit there [and gurgle] his ridiculous spiel.

"The one guy who came off great was Harry Reems. They paint him to look like an ass at the end. At Gold Coast Chicago art theater where it was playing, they got the big guffaw they were hoping for... They freezeframe on him with a big stupid grin while playing golf and say, 'Harry Reems became a Christian.' And so everybody laughed.

"That guy's story in and of itself would've been a much better movie than what they came up with."

Luke: "When did you return to writing on sex?"

Mike: "I always freelanced for Hustler until Allan MacDonell got fired. It was Spring 2002 when I went back to Crescent [for a year] and worked on Celebrity Skin.

"I liked everybody at Crescent except my direct boss at Celebrity Skin [who now writes for AVN, what's his name?]."

Mike moved to Chicago in April 2003 and went to work for MrSkin.com.

Luke: "How are you different sober than when you were drinking a lot?"

Mike: "I finish things. I'm able to hold a job, show up to work every day and get things done. Come up with goofy ideas and follow them through."

Luke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?"

Mike: "I wanted to make movies. I ended up going to film school for a brief period."

Luke: "What were you expected to become?"

Mike: "I don't know. I was an odd character. I grew up in working class, ethnic, outer borrough New York City. It's cops, firemen and Wall Street guys. I was not one of those guys. I was tagged 'gay' very early on. I wasn't gay but I went into the arts as a gay youngster might. I went into the decidedly not-gay arts.

"I graduated [the Jesuit all-boys] Xavier High School in 1986 [oy, if the priests could only see him now]. I wore a uniform. I went to twelve years of Catholic school. I only have good memories of it.

"My father is a businessman and my mother worked for the city of New York.

"I started publishing a zine called Happy Land in 1991. A friend of mine worked at the New York Press. She brought the zine in. Their art director, Michael Gentile, had previously worked at Hustler. He sent Happy Land to Allan MacDonell, who called me in 1992. So I simultaneously started writing for the New York Press and Hustler.

"I was a drunken 23-year old dips---. There was such an enjoyable shock value in telling people you worked for Hustler. There was an immediate gratification in writing for the New York Press because it would come out the same week I wrote it and I could hand it to girls in the bar.

"I lived in LA from 1993-95. I was trying to quit drinking. I spent a year dry. I started writing movies for Greg Dark. I had a nice apartment and a lovely girlfriend. Then I started sneaking drinks. I decided it was too hard to drink in LA. I should move back to New York where it is easy to drink."

Luke: "How did you come to make peace writing about sex again? While you quit it, were people in the real world ragging on you about your porn past?"

Mike: "No. This is the Internet age. This is the post-Girls Gone Wild America. I was working with hipsters in these Internet companies. They were all amused by it. The Larry Flynt movie (1996) was such an effective piece of propaganda. Everybody thought that I was fighting for their freedom on the frontlines cashing that paycheck. Everybody was tickled by me being a bad boy. The stigma is largely gone.

"It's just what I'm most comfortable with. I like looking at vagina all day. If I can get paid to do it, I'm crazy not to."

Mike has never married.

Luke: "How have the women you've fallen in love with appreciated your line of work?"

Mike sighs: "At this point, I have a reputation. They sign on knowing the deal. The last woman (Tivoli Fox) I was involved with writes for me. She was a major contributor to the book. When I was at Hustler, I dated a woman who worked for Flynt. I don't poke around outside the realm that would find this acceptable."

Luke: "What's your favorite part of your job?"

Mike: "I like making dumb jokes about boobs and making a nice living at it. It's what I would do anyway."

Mike says MrSkin.com occasionally gets letters of complaints from actresses featured on the site. MrSkin.com has a lawyer write back that the site is just reviewing their work. They can play their clips by the Fair Use doctrine. The site contains thousands of movie reviews, which then allows the site to claim that showing clips of naked actresses is fair use.

Luke: "What happened to the angry Selwyn Harris?"

Mike: "I can get pretty angry still. About a year ago, there was a guy from the Chicago Sun-Times who came to the office, hung out with us for a day, and wrote a standard-issue profile of MrSkin, isn't this funny, and then ended it with: 'And the list of reasons why they hate us keeps growing.'

"Here we are, another nugget of grotesque America, to hold our noses and point at.

"I hit the ceiling over that."

Luke: "Why did that get you so angry?"

Mike: "It was just a disgusting example of hideous elitist snooty crap.

"I like America. I like big stupid stuff. I'm not going to distance myself from wet t-shirt contests and chickenwings.

"The New York Observer, another embodiment of everything I despise, did a snarked-up article on our Skin scouts at the Sundance Film Festival last year.

..........

"Writing about that first Annabel Chong gangbang did shake me to the core. I did talk to those guys and paint them as ghoulish and bizarre and the whole thing as Roman circus disaster. All the human desperation on parade. It ceased to be amusing to me and became sad.

"I can't stand people. I'm not into going out and doing things. I do play in a rock band called Gays in the Military. We do incorporate elements of pornography into the show in the form of nudity and bizarre displays of horrific excess. I'm the rhythym guitarist. We are four large men who play almost nude and a tiny girl drummer."

Mike stands 6' and weighs 230 pounds.

"I got beat up really bad once in LA by a homeless guy. I did not fight back. He jumped me in front of the lovely Seventh Veil strip club. One week after moving to Los Angeles. I was walking home from the Sunset Five theater at 2AM. He jumped me from behind. I ran up to the door of the Seventh Veil and said I had to get in to use the phone. They said, no, no, we're closing. They pushed me back down the stairs into this guy's waiting embrace. He started to whale on me. The bouncers watched. Then he took off his belt and whipped his shirt open to show how serious he was in his performance before his audience of homeless onlookers cheering this on.

"He started cracking me with his belt. That's when the bouncer intervened. He said, if you are going to hit him with the buckle, take him across the street.

"In that one second, I went flying into traffic and hopped in a cab."

Luke: "Does your band Gays in the Military have a large gay fan base?"

Mike: "Yes. Miss Julie Fabulous, Chicago's reigning drag icon, is our mistress of ceremonies.

"We're playing next month with a band called The Rotten Fruits. They're a lot like us but they're actually gay. They play nude and are a sight to see as well as a sound to be endured."

Luke: "What would you like to say to your large gay fan base?"

Mike: "Please come on to me because it boosts my ego."

Luke: "Seriously, it does?"

Mike: "Yes. Once I was walking out a Times Square porno theater in the late '80s, and there was hispanic midget sitting on the stairs going up to the balcony and he saw me and started going, 'Pssst, papi. Come on. We go upstairs. Me and you.'

"I passed on his offer but my self-esteem shot up through the roof on the way out."

Luke: "What type of men normally hit on you?"

Mike: "None. That's why I'd like them to start."

Luke: "How many porn stars have you been with?"

Mike: "One. In my office at Hustler. I don't know what her name was. She was in two movies that I know of. She came and went quickly.

"A porn director [Greg Dark?] I knew told me how to get any girl in pornography. We called it the Polaroid trick. He said, you get a Polaroid and say you are working on a story on the wildest new girls in porn. You have to make sure that this girl is new to the industry.

"They come up to your office. You say, I'd like to take your picture naked. You take some Polaroids. While you're taking Polaroids, you say to her, why don't you play with your pussy? They'll start doing that and then he assured me this will work. They go into professional mode then. All you have to do, your only leap of faith, is to reach out and touch, make some advance, and you will definitely close the deal.

"I tried this once and was successful. I really am this uptight Catholic guy. I was freaked out after the fact. Immediately upon wiping up afterwards [Mike just received oral sex from her]. I felt not nice for having taken advantage of her.

"I am not a smooth operator."

Mike says he's been with about 25 women in his life.

Luke: "On the Kinsey scale, with one being completely hetero and seven being completely homo, what are you?"

Mike: "One-and-a-half because I did have sex with the hand of a transvestite when I was drunk. It was at The Vault [S-M club] in New York with David Aaron Clark who did not know I was doing it at the time and who I lied to afterwards.

"I told him that a fat housewife had come over and whacked me off, when in fact I saw a drag queen offering free handjobs and I took my dick out and put in his/her hand.

"I was completely out of my mind the next day. I immediately started doing this damage control. I called David and said this crazy housewife was whacking me off in the corner. I checked to make sure she was a woman.

"My fake story got printed in Screw.

"I apologize David for feeding you bad information.

"It took me two years before I admitted it to anybody.

"This was after a year of being sober in Los Angeles. I came home to New York over Christmas and met some of my old cronies. We started at Billy's Topless and we ended up at The Vault.

"We tried to get an interview with Al Goldstein for MrSkin and whoever was representing him said he would require $200 before giving an interview. We had to pass."

Duke: "Who are the most obnoxious editors you've had to deal with in the sex industry?"

Mike: "In his prime, Allan MacDonell. Hands down. The king. He was a powder keg. He was a nutjob. But a great editor. I was talking today about how much he taught me. He was certainly prone to explosiveness."

Duke: "Mike Albo?"

Mike: "Albo was a good guy to me. Albo writes for sexwrecks.com. Albo to me was always this gentle soft-spoken funny guy.

"I'm one to talk. I was an asshole in my day.

"Now I live the life of a 16-year old with an incredibly good allowance. I watch movies. I play cards. I eat pizza. I go on dates."

Luke: "What about personal growth?"

Mike: "Huh? I try to be a decent person."

Flower Tucci No Longer Anal-Exclusive With Seymore Butts

For the past couple of years, Flower wouldn't open up her workman's entrance to anyone (on camera) but Seymore Butts Productions. Now she's going to flap it open to anyone who will pony up her day rate.

It's a brand new day in Porn Valley. It's morning in America. It's great to be alive, though to be young is very heaven.

She returns my call Wednesday morning.

Flower: "I'm still with Seymore but I'm not exclusive. I'm going to be available to other people to ---- me in my --- now.

"I'm off to spread my wings, among other things.

"No drama here. I just shot for Seymore yesterday.

"I'm excited. I get to do a lot more stuff and I don't have any boundaries.

"I'm represented by Mark Spiegler now so I'm working almost every day."

In her two years in porn, Flower has appeared in about 50 movies.

Duke: "Do you have a favorite guest on your KSEXradio.com show?"

Flower: "Kami Andrews. She was wild. She was even doing ---- on the show. She had me doing ---- on the show too. We weren't holding back at all.

"Another good show I had was with Cousin Stevie [Flower's date at the AVN Awards] and Kimberly Kane and Michelle Lay. Showtime filmed it.

"I also have the clothing line Mofo Wear -- for sinners worldwide. We've been throwing parties, hosting the Porn Star Karaoke Night.

"I'll be signing for Seymore and Mofo at Erotica LA."

Flower is not a fan of the degradation craze sweeping through porn. She prefers to aim for what is elevated in the human condition rather than pandering to the lowest common denominator. "One thing I don't like right now is that it seems that everybody is trying to push the limit. I've never done double anal and don't plan to. The biggest thing I haven't done yet is double penetration. I've only done it with toys. I'm not into all the degrading stuff -- stretching assholes. I review movies so I watch a lot of that stuff. I just don't like those kind of movies. I don't want to be a part of those kind of movies. Unfortunately, it is widespread in filming now, so I turn a lot of stuff down.

"The other thing I don't like in the business now is all the fuss about female ejaculation."

Flower holds that female ejaculation is not urine. "People aren't educated about it."

Why are our public schools doing such a lousy job educating kids about female ejaculation? This is why we need school vouchers so parents can send their kids to the schools that best teach ejaculation.

Flower: "I'm willing to go to a doctor or have it tested or be deprived of fluids or whatever it takes to make people believe in it."

Flower, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Flower, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, Flower, there is female ejaculation. It exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no female ejaculation! It would be as dreary as if there were no Flowers. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in female ejaculation! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch your female ejaculation, but even if they did not see clear ejaculation coming down, what would that prove? The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

Flower: "I've been standing up for it on ADT ever since Missy Monroe got yelled at for it on set. If you know these girls are prone to squirt, don't hire them or don't yell at them when it happens. I don't think she did it to mess up somebody's furniture. I just worked with her yesterday. She's a really nice girl."

Yeah, a really nice girl who ejaculates all over your best carpet.

Flower: "I have to stand up for something I believe in as I'm one of the top squirters in the biz."

Duke: "Isn't squirting just a form of urination?"

Flower: "It's not. I will fight that to the end."

World Modeling Wednesday

Khunrum writes: "Veronica Bangg is very cute. Why don't you take her under your wing Duke? You leave her alone with that nasty crowd and she'll be doing double anals in no time."

Fred writes: "Never before have I seen someone in such desparate need of our moral leader. Duke--this is your chance to intervene before some sin is committed."

Arcadia entered porn a year ago. She's done about 15 movies.

I chat with bubbly black girl Promise. I bond with her immediately because she's smart and a writer.

Jim South asks us if we're going to get engaged.

Promise entered the industry almost four years ago, shortly after turning 18. She's taken a two year break from porn to study creative writing. She's going to to get her BA in a year. She's working on an autobiographical novel.

Promise says her favorite writers are Virginia Wolf, Shakespeare and Tim O'Brien. She can go on and on.

Duke: "Virginia Wolf is so boring."

Promise: "You think so? She's trying to do internal landscapes. Do you like Shakespeare?"

Duke: "Yeah. I can't say it's a pleasure. But I respect it. I like the one with the rape and the woman who gets all her limbs hacked off. That's fun. Titus Andronicus? And Troilus and Cressida. It's so cynical."

According to Sparknotes:

By S. Clarke Hulse's count, Titus Andronicus is a play with "14 killings, 9 of them on stage, 6 severed members, 1 rape (or 2 or 3, depending on how you count), 1 live burial, 1 case of insanity and 1 of cannibalism--an average of 5.2 atrocities per act, or one for every 97 lines." Reviewer Mike Gene Wallace adds, "This is a great play. We're talking fourteen dead bodies, kung-fu, sword-fu, spear-fu, dagger-fu, arrow-fu, pie-fu, animal screams on the soundtrack, heads roll, hands roll, tongues roll, nine and a half quarts of blood, and a record-breaking 94 on the vomit meter." Really, there's not much more to say; that is the essence of the play. Titus Andronicus is a non-stop potboiler catalog of abominations (with the poetry itself counted as a crime by many critics).

According to Sparknotes:

In the seventh year of the Trojan War, a Trojan prince named Troilus falls in love with Cressida, the daughter of a Trojan priest who has defected to the Greek side. Troilus is assisted in his pursuit of her by Pandarus, Cressida's uncle. Meanwhile, in the Greek camp, the Greek general, Agamemnon, wonders why his commanders seem so downcast and pessimistic. The wise and crafty Ulysses informs him that the army's troubles spring from a lack of respect for authority, brought about by the behavior of Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior, who refuses to fight and instead spends his time sitting in his tent with his comrade (and lover) Patroclus, mocking his superiors. Shortly thereafter, a challenge to single combat arrives from Prince Hector, the greatest Trojan warrior, and Ulysses decides to have Ajax, a headstrong fool, fight Hector instead of Achilles, in the hopes that this snub will wound Achilles's pride and bring him back into the war.

Duke: "What made you want to get into the industry?"

Promise: "I was [stripping] and I met a porn star [India] where I was dancing at."

Duke: "Was it as exciting as you expected?"

Promise: "More exciting than I expected."

Promise loves rough sex on camera and off. She giggles about visiting T.T. Boy today. He gave her a good workout.

She just returned to porn last week and hasn't done any scenes on camera yet, but I get the feeling she's done quite a bit off camera to reacquaint herself with the shooters.

Duke: "How old were you when you lost your innocence?"

Promise: "Fourteen."

Duke: "Was it a good experience?"

Promise: "Yeah. We're still really good friends."

Growing up in Southern California, Promise was a cheerleader in high school. And a slut.

Duke: "What did your friends from highschool think when you became a porn star?"

Promise: "They expected it. In my highschool picture, I'm wearing a shirt that says 'porn star' on it."

By age 16, Promise was thinking about doing porn.

Duke: "Did your parents encourage you to get into this industry?"

Promise: "My family's fine with it. They know. They didn't encourage me."

Promise has been working with a novelist once a week to finish her book. She doesn't want it to be seen by students until she's about to graduate. She's already known as the biggest slut in the school.

Duke: "Are you sleeping with the novelist?"

Promise: "I wish. I think he's really hot. I think I make him nervous though."

Promise says she's never slept with any of her teachers. "I don't know what's wrong with them," she smiles.

She was once arrested for a sex-related offence. She giggles but gives few details. She was in jail for six hours and it had no affect on her, she says.

She had a good lawyer. She'd been sleeping with him before she needed his professional services.

Promise has slept with about 100 men in her life and about 20 women.

Duke: "Do you prefer to date guys inside or outside of the industry?"

Promise: "Right now inside, or people who know all about it. It's hard to find a guy who has nothing to do with it who can understand completely."

Duke: "Men are not as understanding of their porn star girlfriends as they should be.

"What's the most number of guys you've worked with in one scene?"

Promise: "Five."

Duke: "Is that your limit?"

Promise: "Yeah, because I don't do anal."

Duke: "Have you ever had sex while you were reading a book?"

Promise: "No, I haven't."

She gets all dreamy at the thought of combining two of her biggest interests.

Promise: "On Valentine's Day, I had sex while doing yoga."

Promise says she's really into witchcraft. She's been studying it at college for two years in the Women's Studies department. She almost did a minor in Religion. She studied kaballah (Jewish mysticism) but found it too difficult.

Duke: "Do you put curses on people?"

Promise: "Sometimes.

"I brought a girl from school in here last week. She saw the pictures on the wall. Ohmigod. I'm trying to get her used to it [and into the industry]."

Duke: "You're like Socrates, corrupting the youth. They're going to put you to death."

Promise's porn star status is well known at her college. "I get hit on constantly."

Serena Marcus says she was busted for escorting without a license two months ago. She complains that her attorney Don Hollywood aka Ron Miller did a lousy job representing her. "And I had to do a free scene with him and his wife for him to represent me at all. I got put on probation. I needed something faxed for my court hearing. I was in Pennsylvania. He says, I can't do this. I [think], why the f--- did I f--- you?

"I didn't want to have sex with him. Not Don. Maybe Brooke.

"I'm still on probation and I'm never using Don again as a lawyer.

"I was doing pictures for a website. Then this guy goes, will you go dance [at a bachelor party]? I show up to dance. And then they say, you don't have a permit to dance.

"Don could've fought it. If I had represented myself, I would've had the same outcome. I had to pay a $570 fine."

I call Ron Miller aka Don Hollywood and get his response.

Ron: "I guess she's waived attorney-client privilege.

"Unless you consider September 16, 2004 two months ago... I'm sitting here with a file in hand.

"ON September 16, it says in a public record (case 4PN05669, State of California vs Jennifer Br----): 'She did willfully and unlawfully act as an escort without a permit...' In count two, she's charged with the same offense [and that] she conducted an escort bureau without a police permit.

"I have the entire police report including the statements she made to the police officers.

"In the police report, she represented herself as Angel.

"They had a sting operation. They went to a location and waited for Angel to arrive. She was to be paid $300. The officer says, 'Angel? You're my escort, right?' Defendant said yes.

"The police officer pointed to the money on the table.

"Defendant says she was sent here for an escort date. 'I am not a prostitute. I was told to use the name Angel and the date was $300.'

"Serena indicated to me that she did not want to go to court. The reason she did not want to go to court I can not discuss with you. I continued this case for her from October to 11/16/04 to a pretrial hearing and settlement discussion and went to the December 14th hearing to go to trial. I appeared again 12/21/04. The case was again continued until after AEE.

"I explained to Serena that if she would execute waivers of her appearance and have them notarized...so a plea could be entered, I would make the appearance for her. I told her she could take this case to trial.

"She said, I just want to pay a fine. I don't want to go to court.

"She picked up all the documents. I gave her a Fed-Ex envelope and an Airbill to send me the documents from Pennsylvania.

"She had a friend from Woodland Hills call me and tell me to come pick up the documents. I said I didn't have time.

"I explained to her that the only condition of probation is that you do not escort without a license. She said she didn't care. She handed me $200 in cash. I said, Serena, the fine comes out to more than that. She said, whatever, just take care of it for me. I just want it over with.

"OK. No problem. If that is what you want. We met in court and entered the plea. I walked her down to the clerk's office, which I normally don't do with clients. I could tell she was nervous. I wrote my check for $200 and she paid the balance in cash. We walked back to the courtroom together and that is where we parted company.

"As far as I was concerned, we parted company on excellent terms. She never said she was dissatisfied.

"I had told her that if we had pressed this to trial, we could've done better. But she would've had to have been present for me to take it to trial. She said no.

"When Serena called me, I quoted her my normal fee. That fee exceeded her scene rate by about four times. Prior to the time she retained me, she asked if we had any work. I said sure, Justice Your Ass 4.

"It was shot 9/4/04. She was arrested 9/16/04. She said, if I give you the money back on the scene, will you represent me? I felt sorry for her. The agreed upon value for that scene was $800.

"I can't say everybody is thrilled to work with me. Some people don't say. I never give it any thought.

"She called the night she was arrested. She was hysterical on the phone. I said, don't worry. You have to go to jail.

"It displeases me that she was unhappy with the outcome of the case. I wish she would've addressed the issues with me.

"Serena, like every client I represent, was provided with a photocopy of the complaint and the police report. I tell my clients, get all your angery out. If there are errors, write them down.

"Serena did nothing with the police report. She never took the time to go over it with me. I explained that entrapment is when a law enforcement officer plants a guilty thought in an innocent mind.

"No good deed goes unpunished."

..........

Serena to Duke: "A lot of porn companies shoot without permits."

Duke: "You should turn them in to the permit office."

Serena thinks I'm nuts. "Shut up."

Duke: "You're going to close the whole industry and bring it down."

Serena: "I would never do that, but you would, wouldn't you?

"He's all smiling. You are evil. You are evil."

Duke: "I'm the kindest man you'll ever meet."

Serena: "You're evil.

"Does my voice sound different from last time? I quit smoking."

Duke: "Did you quit sucking...?"

Serena: "Dick? No."

Duke: "That can hurt your voice if it hits your vocal chords at the back of your throat.

"Why did you quit smoking?"

Serena: "Because I couldn't breathe."

Duke: "That's because you had something lodged in your mouth and in your two nostrils.

"How have you been improving your mind?"

Serena is flaberghasted. "Huh? How have you been improving your mind?"

Duke: "By interviewing you."

Serena: "OK. Let's stop. I need to get some work now."

She goes off to her interviews with producers. There are four of them talking to girls today including two guys from Atlanta -- David Browning and John Foran of Have A Nice Day Entertainment.

They're shooting ten scenes and two movies in LA this coming week.

"California is the only place where [porn production] is legal," says one guy.

"It's all new to us."

Jim directs the Georgia boys into the executive kitchen and Don Goo takes over the presidential suite.

Aspen Stevens tells Jim South that she is looking to get the most money possible for her first anal scene. She wants a small guy.

Byron Long, who's hung like a horse, says: "Make a statement. If you're going to do anal, do the big one."

Jim says to Byron: "That's my niece."

I meet slim blonde Niki Clover from Dana Dane Productions and Erocktadivision.com.

Niki has done two girl-girl scenes. She's gay, not gay-for-pay. She's the girlfriend of and assistant to the company owner Dana Dane.
