Porn Needs Directors

Tod Hunter writes:

And after having reviewed over 1,000 adult videos (probably way over by now) in the last eight years, let me tell you that there is plenty to direct in a porn video, even the most unrehearsed gonzo blowjob scene.

The camera has to be in the right place, so the viewer can see what's going on.

The lighting has to be adequate, again, so the viewer can see what's going on.

The performers' attitudes and degree of enthusiasm is subject to change. A good director can keep them up, so to speak.

The shots have to be coordinated.

The 180-degree rule is only one of many that the would-be director has to master so that the video doesn't disorient the viewer.

The scene has to be edited with a sense of pace, building to a climax. Et cetera.

A well-made sex scene is like a well-made martini. Easy to describe, difficult to execute.

Disney Airing Failed Fox Show Skin On Their Cable Network SoapNet

DawnElicia writes January 17, 2005 on IMDB.com: "I read that SoapNet bought the rights to Skin and plans to show the series that was on air plus the episodes that never aired. I am so excited because I loved that show and I was said that it was canceled."

The pilot episode aired Saturday night.

Mark Kernes Responds To Mike South

In case you haven't heard, erotic asphyxiation is a fairly common form of sex play among some segments of the world's population, so I'm not surprised to see it showing up in adult videos. It's not something I have the urge to try myself, mostly because I consider it dangerous -- of course, I also consider having sex without a condom dangerous, and don't do that either -- but I realize that many people do do it (asphyxiation) and get their kicks from it. Apparently, however, this activity is not to Mr. South's tastes -- which, apparently, are equivalent to the Laws of Nature.

Jack writes: "Mr. Kernes is truly the epitome of virtue and safety. However, I seem to recall being at some XXX function once and splitting because Nina Hartley and Anna Malle decided to "repay" Kernes for his efforts in support of the biz with dual BJs. Don't think he was wearing protection. And what about his appearance as "Herbert Dingle?" Can't recall if he was jacketed or not, but reviewing that flick was so traumatic, I've blocked most of it out."

Mike South responds:

Now there's exactly what I mean, just because someone asphyxiates someone else thats considered normal healthy sex to you? Here's a real enlightenment for you. every responsible B&D and S&M support group in existance has warned against this type of "breath play" at PEP parties and other such lifestyle functions it isn't condoned. Why? because choking someone out has the exact same effect as a stroke. period. Justify it all you want, you will kill or cause long term damage to someone sooner or later, and for AVN or it's representatives to pass it off as "normal" is flat out irresponsible.

Marc Giffy, Peter North Party In Downtown San Diego Saturday Night

Marc (Giffy.com) and Peter were celebrating their birthdays (they are about 50yo). The crowd included Van Damage, Dave Pounder, Lyra (and her hot girlfriends), Kevin Blatt. The party was held at Galileo 101 (in a highrise overlooking the bay). Giffy shoots for Peter as well as his own line.

FYI on newly available Cindy Crawford

Triglet writes on PornStarPerformance.com: "I understand some of you might be interested in hiring Cindy Crawford. She does a rockin' scene. To get this scene would involve dealing with a laundry list of issues and drama. This includes cattiness, drunkeness, no-shows, and no test. She once asked if we could "not look at tests today" when she didn't have hers. Be careful."

I called Cindy about this report but the phone number I have for her is no longer in service.

We'd Never Make A Snuff Film, Right?

Mike South writes on MikeSouth.com:

What struck me is how most porners act appalled that A Current Affair would even consider accusing us of being low enough to make a snuff film. We are far above that, right?

Fact is there's more than a few porners who would make a snuff film if they thought for a split second that they could get away with it and I guarantee you everyone in Porn Valley including the almighty AVN would jump up and say it was protected free speech. I hear you guys now saying..nonsense. Wanna Bet? I have proof!

See it isn't so much that porners would or wouldn't make a snuff film, its that many have actually tried, though they probably would claim that it was by accident. You see choking became all the rage in porn not long ago...it still happens too...all too often. So naturally some dumb porn stud figures that if choking is good then choking the girl till she passes out is even better.

Now what did AVN have to say about it? Not ONE WORD. This site and a few others rallied to raise awareness and indeed that curtailed the practice some...some. And that ain't the only behaviour that we as an industry practice that could kill of our own, the practice of ass to mouth has laid low many a pornchick and has caused many infections that left untreated could well lead to death. But hey it's just some dumb porn chick right...no great loss there so long as it isn't Rocco or Jules or someone important.

So when the porners act all self righteous over these kind of stories like the one that ran on A Current Affair..just remember...It's only a matter of time.

Zaphod Beeblebrox Sends a Press Release: Vapid Video Signs Trinity Bland as Newest Contract Star

Arizona Bay - Trinity Bland, former Miss Dumptruck County and Tripe Magazine's Slag of the Year has signed long-term, exclusive contract with Vapid Video. Bland, a native of Springfield, made her way to Arizona Bay at the age of 19 and got her start in the adult industry working for a topless dog grooming service before finally garnering attention after appearing in Tripe Magazine by winning their monthly "Drunk Chick at the Bar" contest in August of 2002.

When asked about the signing, Vapid Video publicist John Square said, "It's cool. You know, we're happy to have her, and stuff. She's pretty and all."

The former Slag of the Year was also overjoyed about the new opportunity and stated, "It's totally exciting. Totally. I mean I'm totally going to make a killing off this contract and I'm totally going to get some new boobs and, you know, it's literally totally exciting." Bland has never done hardcore before, and doesn't plan to now according to Square. On the topic he said, "No! Are you kidding? We're an adult entertainment company. We are not some porno company. I mean come on." To that, Miss Bland replied, "Duh. Totally."

Carmen Luvana On The Difference Between Prostitution And Porn

The Adam & Eve contract girl writes on ADT:

Well i think people here are just forgetting the mayor and simple factors of the diffrence of Escorting and porn..

1-First of all Porn is "Legal" as in escorting you may go to jailo.

2-) Second In porn you know that even if you take a chance everybody is tested and you know who you are working with ,in a location that is safe, virsus escorting you never know who the f--- you are going to get laid with, if they have anything, who they are and if its safe.

Come on guys even do we get paid to do porn its a huge diffrence ,put a little brain in to it and you will see how simple it is to separete both of them.

Tyler Faith posts: "I take offense to people who say "They All Do". I don't and have no desire to. I've seen myself listed on some of those escort sites but I never agreed to escort for them, in fact, I was never in contact with them...except to say...GET ME OFF YOUR SITE!"

Kimi Lixx writes:

I've done both, performed in videos and escorted. I'm telling you now, they have very, very, very little in common.

A programmer, secretary and data entry person all get paid to type. Are their jobs the same? The only thing that ever bothers me is when someone (anyone) says that video performing is "better" than escorting from a moral point of view. "At least I'm not in a hotel doing it with every guy who has a couple hundred bucks. You must have no respect for yourself.". That's just baloney. It bothers me when I hear the reverse, too. Escorts think video performers are crazy - "Doing that so that the whole world can see, what a bunch of sluts. You must have no respect for yourselves or your family." It's different. Get over it.

If they were paid to type they would be professional typists. Such positions do (or have in the past, not so much now) exist. The skill set for a professional typist is TYPING. Not coding machine language, not filing, not collating data - JUST typing. A professional typist is paid to type. A programmer is not paid to type, but paid to do a set of things that may or may not include, at any given moment, typing.

A porn performer is not paid to have sex. Trust me, if I could get paid to have sex I most certainly would, and that would be the easiest job I could imagine. That would be freaking wonderful. Having sex is FUN - woohoo! A porn performer is paid to make something LOOK good for the camera - it generally involves genitals, but I wouldn't much call it having sex. I've had sex, and I've made porn - they aren't really related beyond the genital part.

An escort, or prostitute, isn't paid to have sex, either. They're paid to provide someone else with pleasure. Whether that pleasure is sexual, companionable, social or otherwise doesn't really matter.

No porn performer is paid to provide anyone with pleasure. You, the consumer, might get pleasure from the product - but that isn't the performer. Escorts aren't typically paid to make anything that will be on camera. They aren't typically paid to make anything at all. There is no tangible product.

Gyn/Obs and urologists are paid to touch genitals all day, too. You gonna tell me they're getting paid to have sex?

I'm not in any horrible denial. I know exactly what I do. I also know what it is and what it's not. I have never disagreed that sex was not part of the skill set of any sex worker. That would be ridiculous. Even a stripper is playing with sex. However, I can pretty much say with authority that if I showed up on a porn set, spread my legs and lay there without moving or uttering a sound, I would be thrown off the set, without pay or a kill fee. But golly, why? I was there for sex! WRONG ANSWER! You're not getting paid to use your genitals, you're getting paid for a whole body/mind performance that just so happens to revolve around making sexual activities look good. (If I did that as an escort I'm not even sure what would happen. I'm pretty much sure it wouldn't be good.)

SCandMS writes:

It's hilarious reading some of the posts that try to show that working in porn films and escorting is different. In both cases you are selling yourself for sex. In both cases you aren't getting paid if you don't suck cock, get f---ed, and take a load in your face. You don't get paid for "acting". What a crock. You get paid for having sex. You get paid more for specific sex acts like anal, DP, etc. If you were paid for acting why would your rates be listed by sex act? Come on guys, please stop living in fantasyland. Pornstars don't escort because it's extremely dangerous and I completely understand that and agree with that. However, if I ever met a pornstar who had just finished getting f---ed by 2 guys in the ass and taking a big load in the face and then told me that she doesn't escort because "she's not a whore" I would assume she's in EXTREME denial.

Too bad half the 18 year old hotties that are fresh off the bus in pornoland... lie there motionless like a fish. I can show you a million pornos where it happens and they don't get thrown off the set. You know why? Cause they are hot and they are f---ing and thats what it takes to sell the average DVD. Obviously the experts on the forums here demand something more but there was a giant thread a while back listing the girls that lie there like fish. It's a prevalent problem. If you were truly paid for acting out hot sex then you personally would be one of the highest paid porno star there is. Unfortunately you aren't. I have no beef with you as I respect what you do and must admit you are VERY GOOD at it. This doesn't have to get heated. Rates are set by sex act. SEX SEX SEX. It's all about the sex.

Ticked Off With Digital Sin

Andy2 writes on ADT:

I recently bought Girl Crazy #1, and although I can't say the boxcover pictures are directly misleading, nonetheless all the surrounding publicity bigs this series up as a lesbian gonzo series, and I think any reasonable person would expect - at the very least - anal in almost every scene. But nothing like it! They even have those two anal princesses Anna Nova and Lauren Phoenix in a scene together, with no anal. I mean, come on! Talking about cheaping out. It makes my blood boil. Suffice to say I won't be giving another penny to these charlatans.

M.B. writes:

I also agree that misleading boxcovers are becoming the norm at Digital Sin. I was duped into thinking that the lesbian movie Tongues and Twats would have no toys. By the title, description and pictures on the back of the box I thought I was getting an all-girl movie that had oral and finger action only. But to my dismay there were toys in the movie.

Poopybutt writes:

I'm irritated with Digital Sin too. Assume the Position 4 is a total ripoff. There's a DP scene with a nice looking blonde on the back cover, but the scene is not even on the DVD.

While we're on the subject of misleading boxcovers, Fusxion's Just My Ass Please 3 includes Jessica Sweet, but she does not do anal. Just my ass please sort of implies all the performers do anal scenes. Of course the back cover of the DVD also says ALL ANAL! in bold letters.

I've stopped purchasing DVDs from both companies, because if I can't trust the cover, I'm not going to take a chance.

Digital Sin Director Tyrone Shuz responds:

The release of Pleasures of the Flesh 10 with the tag line of "Bobbi Eden Does Anal" is nothing more than a mistake. There is no grand conspiracy to defraud our customers. This mistake is so blatant that how anyone could assume that it was intentional is simply crazy. I did not wake up one day and say "s---, let's piss off our customers by misleading them."

The title was recalled the second the information was learned. I understand that doesn't do much good once it has already been released into the market. There is no excuse for this error - only an explanation.

The scene was licensed from DDF. The pictures that accompanied the scene clearly showed Bobbi Eden doing anal. The art department, who creates the box and writes the copy, saw the pictures, chose Bobbi Eden as the cover girl and since Bobbi Eden doing anal is a pretty cool highlight, decided to make it a tag line on the front of the box. We have licensed several scenes from DDF for a multitude of series. I have NEVER seen a descrepancy such as this in their supplied materials EVER. As it turns out, the scene was shot at a different time than the pictures. It is entirely our fault that we did not do a better job of ensuring that indeed this anal scene was included and to their credit the accompanying paperwork listed the scene as Boy/Girl and not anal.

We had a quality control system in place that was intended to make sure everything that leaves here, was as good as it can be and correct in every way. This one, in a very big way, got by that. Changes have been made to prevent this from ever happening again.

Those who know the history of our companies, New Sensations, Digital Sin and Hot Boxxx, expect the highest quality products, so having something like this happen is a bit shocking and gossip-worthy. I can expect and understand this. It was devastating news and I believe it to be the ultimate sin to have an error such as POTF 10 occur. My apologies to those of you who who feel defrauded. It was most certainly not our intent. If anyone has a problem in returning their copy for full credit, please let me know. We have authorized this credit with ALL of our distributors.

We release 4 new titles every week. Our directors have and do include some of the top names in the business (Johnni Darkko, Tyrone Shuz, Axel Braun, Nic Andrews, etc) and those who certainly will become such. We are currently shooting many new products in High Definition and have ALWAYS been a leader in quality. Our customers are of the highest importance and the primary reason for the success of the company. This simple fact will never change. We will continue to make high quality products and can only ask for understanding should an error be made along the way.

Should anyone ever have a question or comment, the best place to reach me is tshuz@newsensations.com.

LeCastel is making one movie a month for us. He is given free reign to make his series Ass Wide Open and Harder Faster. He is developing a new series as we speak. I don't know what you see as the difference between what he did years ago compared to what he does now. He shoots and edits his movies. I do agree that he is a premier director and performer and should have been included in my list.

As far as Shane. He is only getting better as a perfomer and a legend in the making. Those who have not seen him should follow along as he will become a big star. He is a humble and honorable man and it is a pleasure to have him on our roster.

We shoot in 24 frame mode on our cameras for about 50-75% of what we release. The rest is 30 frame video. We shoot it like that because I like it like that. I don't care for the harshness of straight video. But for those that do, we have many products that are shot that way. Currently I shoot all of my stuff in HD. There is currently no DVD delivery format that allows for the HD resolution to be seen so we just have to wait. But if you want clarity then you will be thrilled when HD DVD comes out. Until then I am sure those three guys will be happy to know you are a fan.

FYI - LeCastel has made one a month since Feb under a new deal we have in place. Ass Wide Open # 3 streets on May 12 and #4 is scheduled for June 16.

I am aware of the Windows Media Player Series 9 and 10 HD option however the catch is that it needs to be played off a computer and I don't think most people watch their DVDs that way. But it is becoming more relevant so it may be an option we go to in the future - or prior to the HD DVD option.

I prefer the film-like quality of 24P. Ask Johnni Darkko. HD does not leave much room for blemishes. It is also an adaptation to shoot in 16X9. Sometimes it is very cool and I like it the more I have to frame things that way. There is a learning to curve to the Sony HDRFX1 which I am using but once I got it dialed in, I am pleased. There are some things you can do to soften the HDDV image so it is not too crisp should the model be a bit short of perfect. For now the in camera down conversion for SD offers its own softening.

Bobbi Eden writes:

I haven't done anal that scene, and in the picture you see its only holding against it. Its not NEW SENSATION their fault but the dickhead that shot it. And I mean the director, not the cameraman who was filming, he was very nice. So maybe he said to NEW SENSATION that it was an anal scene, because he wanted me for an anal scene that day, but I didn't, and wasn't planning to anyway. The whole scene is shot in Prague and was actually for my website and his, but I founded out he sold it to New Sensations anyway. (very strange of doing buisness anyway) I know its a good scene, but for the anal lovers, sorry your not gonna see that.

Kylie Ireland - Director

She writes on ADT:

If I sign on to do something - I do it. I don't lend my name out to someone just to put on the box. I produce, direct, do all the paperwork, shoot the set stills and often even end up shooting the BTS! I do the casting and come up with the concepts. I am present for the editing, the boxcover shoot and I do much of the design on the boxcover as well. Ask any of the people at PXP or Redlight, ask any of the talent I shoot.

In the past I wrote a monthly article for AVN's Sexpose Magazine and I used to get the same s---..."oh, she doesn't write the stuff, someone else does..." and when I did Publicity for a year at VCA...same s---. I have to tell you all I am getting tired of having to defend myself - why is it so unbelievable that a girl in the adult industry can do jobs and projects such as these? Some of us have brains and creativity! Look at Jewel, Belladonna, Shane, Veronica Hart, Bridgette, Chloe, and the list goes on. All good directors, all involved in their projects. Personally I have found that porn viewers think it's hot to see that a chick can direct dirty filthy smut too.

Leo O writes on ADT:

There was an interesting program on TV last night about the changing attitudes of British women to porn, the main focus being Anna Span a director of the female persuasion. She was an ardent feminist dead set against porn before her Damascene moment when she decided to fill the gap in the market by making 'woman friendly porn.' A degree (I think) at a well known and reputable film school followed by a censored graduation film featuring masturbation and pissing - with her shocked parents in the audience ! - led to her career in hardcore. She's apparently shot 100+ flicks now , and plans to eventually appear in front of the camera. The main emphasis of the program was on just how different her stuff was from the run-of-the-mill male directed grot.

I've never seen one of her vids or one from any other woman director as far as I can remember , so is there really any difference between what they show and what the men produce? Is Mason really radically different than, say, John Stagliano's Fashionistas or Brandon Iron's slap fests? Does anyone who's seen one of Anna's videos think she's really making anything different than is already out there? I'm not even asking about all the performers turned 'director' - some of them probably do direct their stuff , but I can't be arsed to figure out who - more about women who are 'known' to do their thing. Is the attention called to their gender in advertising the movie just a gimmick, or do they genuinely bring something new to the table?

Chico Wang writes: "Lizzy [Borden] did indeed 'direct' her movies. Throughout the whole time I was at Extreme, Rob [Black] never touched the camera once for video or DVD except perhaps for wrestling-related events. Lizzy was the one behind the monitor barking instructions or orders to the performers."

Mason writes:

I chose the name Mason because it was sexually ambiguous. Even more so, it had a male connotation to it. There are still many people who think Mason is a dude. I never wanted to be known as a female director, and I sure as hell don't now. If I had wanted to exploit my gender, I would have chosen to use a more female sounding name, and I would have promoted myself in a more sexualized manner. This did not interest me in the least, as it seemed like the most obvious way to get attention (those damn naked pics of female "directors" holding cameras in their press shots, drive me f---ing crazy). I wanted no part of it.

Patrick Collins did indeed have a clear vision of what he wanted from me as a director. He wanted a chick who would get involved with the talent (jerk cocks, suck cocks, grab tits, etc.) from behind the camera. This was something I was simply not comfortable doing. In the end, Patrick gave me the freedom to shoot and promote myself as I wanted.

Your skepticism is duly placed, Ramsey, there are many female directors who are nothing but gimmicks. I'm simply not one of them.

Skeeter Kerkove writes April 9: "Bridgette Kerkove cast, wardrobe, produced and directed over 40 Gonzos in 2004, plus 3 features. She is directing a movie right now as I type, directed one 2 days ago and one the week before. She has directed one feature and 2 gonzos in less then 2 weeks."

2Big writes: "The whole idea of a "porn director" is a contradiction in terms. This is a legacy of 7os/80s porn when you had graduates from UCLA's film school thinking that they could use their porn credits to segue into the mainstream. What, pray tell, is there to direct in a porn movie, given that there seemed to be about 7 different positions in total?"

Fleshbot - the thinking person's diary of smut?

That's what The NYT called it this weekend. I think Fleshbot is to porn what Pravda was to the former Soviet Union. I loathe the site. Fleshbot doesn't break stories. It just links to smut and takes a predictable industry line (it's favorite industry source is AVN).

Chaim Amalek: You need to call her tonight. Once you start having sex with so fine a woman as she, other women will pick up on it and want some of you as well. You will have more sex than you can shake a lulav at.

Riley Brooks, Frank Towers

Sidney Rocket writes on PornStarPerformance.com:

Don't book this chick [Riley Brooks]...period. She lives all the way out in Palm Springs, and she never shows. I have given her tons of chances...don't bother...you will be sorry. I tolerated her BS because I really wanted to work with her, but now, I could care less.

Frank Towers is back in the biz. I know some people black balled him for a while, but near as I can figure, he didn't deserve it. One of those "he said/she said" things. I personally recommend him to anyone needing his type services. Professional, on time, a talented performer.

AVN Columnist Clyde DeWitt Reps Las Vegas Motel Accused Of Allowing Prostitution

XXX writes:

A Las Vegas motel got shut down for allowing prostitution (Okay, a lot of them do, but this place had a sign outside advertising two hours for $35, they didn't ask for ID, and the desk clerk would ask if you wanted condoms) and Las Vegas Metro got in there and did sone video (caught a high school teacher even) and when the owner found himself needing legal representation, where did he go? AVN legal columnist Clyde De Witt. Go to KVBC.com and do a search on "Del Mar" and look at the video.

JMT writes: "Wow. Man accused of crime retains attorney. Alert the media."

Time Magazine On Porn

Richard Corliss writes 5/7/05 on Time.com:

"Pornography is big business," I wrote in the last column, "an industry that earns an estimated $57 billion worldwide annually -$20 billion just for adult movies in the U.S., where some 800 million videos are rented each year, according to Paul Fishbein, the founding president of Adult Video News."

A more commonly cited number, from a Frank Rich story in the New York Times Sunday Magazine, is $10 billion annually. This stat was widely challenged: by Vivid Video president Bill Asher, who put the take at $4 billion, by porn journalist Luke F-rd, who estimated the take at about $3 billion, and by Forbes Magazine's Dan Ackman, who calculated it at about 5% of Rich's figure: "the adult video business grosses at best $520 million" annually, he wrote.

My updated guess would be near Ford's number -which is about what the Lord of the Rings trilogy earned in theaters. Not bad for a segment of the film industry that spends thousands, not a $100 million or more, on an average title.

May 28th - Luke's Window of Opportunity Slowly Closes

Helpful writes:

Gentlemen, May 28th is Luke's 39th birthday and what has he achieved? Minor notoriety in mainstream press, major infamy in the porn press, absolute obscurity in Hollywood circles, and general ostracism in the Jewish world.

For all his years of fruitless toil his crowning achievement remains his designation as Hustler Magazine's "Asshole of the Month" back in 1999.

We all know that Luke has the potential for so much more, but this potential has a shelf life. If Luke doesn't make it by 40, I suspect he never shall.

Have you seen any recent photos of Luke? His posture. His paunch. His ill fitting suit. His crows' feet. His boyish charm and "twink appeal" is fading fast. At this point, no selfrespecting homosexual producer would bother to put him on their casting couch for even a measly five minute interview.

The burden is on us, the members of the Luke F-rd Advisory Council. How can we immediately maximize Luke's celebrity, finances and appeal to the opposite sex?

Remember, we all live (for better or worse) vicariously through Luke, lets push him over the top.

The fuse is lit. On May 28, 2006 Luke turns forty.

Fred writes:

In many ways, Luke has a "Peter Pan" existence, fluttering above the outskirts of the Never-Never land... All things considered, I don't think his toil as been fruitless.

You want to see fruitless? Stop by some time and I'll teach you how to write patent applications.

Khunrum writes:

The top of what? Yes, Luke is losing his school-boy looks. His self publishing career is a shambles (never met a successful vanity author yet). However, the worst that can happen to him is he will evolve into the Walt Whitman of gossip, singing songs of despair, at porn star karaoke. "Regrets, I've had a few, but then again..."

Chaim Amalek writes: "We all know none of us can make it happen for anybody, or we wouldn't be here."

A Life Snuffed Out

From ACurrentAffair.com:

Unlike most college students, Natel King didn't work in restaurants or retail. She worked in the adult video business. It was fast money. Anywhere between $300 and $2000 per day. But one night, Natel went to make a movie in a basement studio that looked more like a dungeon. When her roommate called to check in, Natel expressed concern over her safety. Tragically, her intuition was right. Police suspect Natel was killed on camera, during the making of a snuff film. Her shocking story unfolds.tonight on A CURRENT AFFAIR.

FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY?

Natel's friends and associates often worried about her. As a freelancer, this 23-year-old performer would frequently go to shoots alone. The night she died, Natel may have been lulled into thinking she'd be safe due to the presence of her accused murderer's girlfriend. But if cops are right, Natel was dead wrong. Although she's pled not guilty, the police believe the girlfriend Jennifer Mitkus witnessed the fatal stabbing, and helped Anthony Frederick scrub up the crime scene and dispose of the body.

GRISLY TRAIL OF EVIDENCE

For three weeks, nobody knew what happened to Natel King. Then, a passing pedestrian spotted King's body dumped by a river, and police began to unravel the case. They surmise the killer stashed the murder weapon and bloody clothes in the trash cans behind a local convenience store. A search of Frederick's basement and car yielded forensic evidence. Although the crime scene was thoroughly cleaned, a bit of blood on a receipt allowed authorities to link Frederick to King's slaying.

Here's a partial transcript of May five's show:

Natel's porn agent Stephen Sirrard (who used to work in law enforcement): "Several times I would tell her, 'Natel, you are putting yourself in danger.'"

Host Tim Green: "She was freelancing in the hardcore world where bad guys play for keeps."

Luke: "This was definitely a pornographic shoot that went all the way to murder."

Tim Green: "Snuff movie. It was a term invented 30-years ago and most people thought it was a fictional tale from the crypt. The sickening idea that there would be a market for a film where someone was actually murdered seemed too remote even in an era of hardcore like Deep Throat. But since then, there has been a market for videos like Faces of Death, which show all kinds of death scenes. So the likelihood that there is a market for snuff movies becomes a frightening reality."

Reporter Harris Faulkner: "Nobody can prove she was killed on tape because no tape was found, but all the circumstances have convinced her friends that was exactly how she died.

"For all the warnings about the adult film industry, there are few as extreme as the legend of the snuff film. The notion of being killed for entertainment was surely the furthest thing from Natel King's mind when she decided to get into the 21st Century Sex business. She wanted to pay for college, perhaps become a star. Cops say she may have become a victim of the industry's worst fate."

Attorney Jan Rostal, public defender who is an expert on sex crimes: "If the market is there for simulated snuff films and torture films, then the market is there for snuff films."

Natel King's story begins in her small town in Ontario. "The kind of place a pretty, young ambitious woman can't wait to leave."

Natel on tape: "I like to go clubbing, dancing. I like to work-out."

Natel set her sights high. She aimed for Toronto. She paid for her course [towards a psychology degree] by posing for sexy pictures. She took on the name Taylor Summers and thrived as a new brand of adult star who advertised on the internet and did X-rated modeling for the right price.

As a freelancer, Natel, 23, was making $300-$2,000 a day.

Autumn Rayne became friends with Natel during a shoot in Florida. "She didn't have the wherewithall to know that it wasn't safe to travel alone like she did."

Natel agreed to take a job near Philadelphia and headed off alone. The adult industry's deadly urban legend was about to become a tragic reality.

Harris: "Internet journalist Luke F-rd wrote the landmark book, A History Of X."

Luke: [Thirty years ago] you first began getting reports that there were snuff films out there. That people were getting killed on camera and these were being sold and isn't this terrible.

"[Alan Shackleton's film Snuff] was set in South America, where, according to rumor, snuff films were made."

Harris: But police believe that Natel may have been lured into filming an all-too-real snuff film.

Natel agreed to meet photographer Anthony Frederick at this hotel in Oaks, Pennsylvania.

Harris: "She posed for bondage shots. We can't show you even the tamest of them."

They leave there and go [somewhere] and take a second set of pictures. They left there and moved on to Anthony's house where cops say they were joined by Frederick's girlfriend, 30-year old Jennifer Mitkis. She was the photo assistant.

They did their shooting in a studio in the basement. That's where something went wrong. We know because during the shoot, Natel took a cell phone call from her rooommate.

Natel said she was concerned for her safety.

Frederick says they argued over money and that was when the fatal stabbing took place.

Her body was found almost a month after she went missing.

Stephen Sirrard said he cried when he heard the news. "I was sad, especially when I found out it could've been a snuff movie."

Harris: "This crude hand-written contract included the terms, 'snuff vid.'"

No photos or video remain from Natel King's last shoot.

Anthony Frederick has pled guilty to murder in the third degree. He faces 50-years behind bars. He has agreed to testify against his girlfriend.

From Gay Porn To Straight

Romeo writes:

I was searching for some random porno chick, and came across her agent's website http://www.nastymodeling.com. Well, as a gay male who runs some straight & gay adult sites, I recognized one of the agency's guys named "Christian." He used to be an exclusive for Falcon Pictures, a high end gay porn company, under the name Maxx Diesel. This shows his Falcon press photo which naughtytalent.com uses on their site as well.

I met Christian at Porn Star Karaoke a month ago. He did seven films for Falcon and went on to do about 100 scenes in straight porn. He's also done some Female-to-Male strap-on stuff for Joey Silvera -- Strap Attack 1 and 2. He posts frequently on ADT under the name Cwians.

Skeeter Kerkove - Registered Sex Offender

Q writes:

Luke, Why not explore this Skeeter situation more? People at Charmane's party last night at Bliss are suggesting he fled the country... All I know is that you don't get posted on a California Government web site as a registered sex offender for doing good things. We need and deserve answers! If any of it is true, I think the adult industry needs to turn its back on Skeeter [Arland Dale Kerkove], lest we be accused of supporting registered sex offenders. God knows no one else has the balls to expose this and get to the very bottom of it, true or false.

I need somebody with NexisLexis to tell me what the above offense was for. "f289(a) PRIOR CODE-SEXUAL PENETRATION WITH FOREIGN OBJECT BY FORCE" What does that mean? Was it with someone underage? The photo of Skeeter on the MegansLaw sex offender site looks recent.

Harri Patel writes on ADT:

Penal Code section 289(a), which is the one he's indicated to have violated, applies to "an act of sexual penetration when the act is accomplished against the victim's will by means of force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of immediate and unlawful bodily injury on the victim or another person." That's pretty much what I, and I think most people, think of when someone says "force."

As to your speculation about a possibly drunken victim, the crime of sexual penetration "when the victim is prevented from resisting by any intoxicating or anesthetic substance, or any controlled substance, and this condition was known,or reasonably should have been known by the accused" is covered by subsection (e) of section 289. If this is what he had been convicted of, this is what his Megan's Law webpage would say. It doesn't. And frankly, I don't know what your point is in bringing that up. Do you consider it to be meaningfully less reprehensible to stick something up a girl who is too drunk to tell you not to, than it is to do the same thing to a girl you're pointing a gun at?

You Want a Snuff Angle?

Jack writes:

I got one worth looking at-the girls being kidnapped and left dead on roadsides in Juarez. there are something like 400 12-18 raped, tortured, killed and dumped in under a decade, hundreds more missing. the police are extracting confessions by torture, lawyers are getting gunned down, supposed perps are in jail and more bodies turn up. One of my best friends from undergrad was an obscenely-rich Mexico-city Jew who seemed pretty convinced it's a handful of drug dealers. If you haven't been paying attention, Mexico's become the home to some of the richest and most violent ones now that all the island landing strips and speedboat routes are closed up leaving the Colombians to need the border more. They own the cops, and everyone suspects them of basically hunting the factory-workers as sport. I know Salon, the NYT, and a bunch of other people started covering it. you'll probably have luck using any kind of combination of the words Maquiladora, Juarez, murder, girl/women, Mexico in Google.

Tell me the person or people doing that hasn't made some videos, it actually suggests a collection, given they must be getting sick of the same old drill and know they can't get caught.

Penny Porsche Interview

I call her Thursday afternoon.

Duke: "How was your scene today?"

Penny: "It was fast and easy. The way I like it. In-and-out."

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

Penny: "An actress. I did theatre when I was younger. It was a play on the Christian Moravian Indians in Ohio. I was 11.

"I was a skinny girl with boobs. By 16, I was a D-cup.

"Then I came out to Hollywood [at age 15] and saw what the true reality of being an actress was. It's not so much how well you can act but who you know. Being at the right place at the right time. I had to make a living so I just decided to get into sales. I've had the same job for 24-years."

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

Penny: "I was sweet 16 in the back of a 1961 (the year I was born) Impala. That was in Ohio. I went back to Ohio to go to my highschool prom, even though I was emancipated. He was my childhood sweetheart, who I was in love with since second grade. I went to my highschool prom with him. Then down by the river..."

Duke: "What was it like?"

Penny: "I didn't like it. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be. Looking back, if I had to do it over again, I would've waited longer. I would've wanted that person in my life to have been more meaningful. Even though we were best-friends, after that, it all changed.

"I was expecting more. And then I didn't see him again for eleven years. Then I moved to New York City for a year. It was sad. He really went downhill. He was popular in highschool. Handsome. He got into drugs and heavy drinking. He looked bad.

"When I went home [to Ohio] to see the people I grew up with, it was interesting to see that people who were popular and stuck-up and snobbish... I grew up in a small town. There was no middle class. You were either high-class or low-class. Fortunately, because I was athletic, the high-class people accepted me even though I came from a lower-middle-class family.

"Once highschool came around, things started changing. I started hanging out with an older crowd, with my sisters and their friends. I was into rock 'n' roll. My sister took me on tour with Rush when I was 14. I've experienced a lot for my age (43).

"In highschool, I was into track, motorcylces, dirtbikes. I wasn't the cheerleading type. To be the cheerleading type, you had to be in a rich family."

Duke: "What expectations were you raised with?"

Penny: "We were five kids. I was the youngest girl. My brother was the youngest. The eldest sister was the perfect child, so my parents expected all of us to be like her. We weren't. By the time it got to me, things were easier for me because my other two sisters went through a lot.

"My parents weren't around much. They were your working parents who were always gone. I am much closer to them now that I am older. They were kids when they had kids. They got married at 17 and 19."

Duke: "At what age did you have your first hit of drugs?"

Penny: "Ten when I first smoked marijuana. We hitchhiked up to a concert. In Los Angeles, we would consider that a coachella. Frank Marino and Mahogany and Rush were playing. They were a heavy acid-rock band.

"My first drug experience was at 12-years-old when my other sister gave me LSD. I loved the LSD. I did it for many years. I feel that people who have experienced LSD have a broader imagination. It opens your senses. Do you know what I mean?"

Duke: "I haven't tried any drugs, but I'll take your word for it."

Penny: "I don't recommend it to anybody. I don't regret it. Depending on how many brain cells you had to begin with... People who have a lower IQ might have a harder time recuperating from doing drugs than a person who has a higher IQ. I was a bright child and a lot of common sense. I started young and I quit young. I got it out of my system by the time I was in my mid-twenties."

Duke: "How regularly were you using drugs?"

Penny: "I smoked pot every day from ten until 26. I had quite a few LSD experiences. I turned out ok. I went through the cocaine phase in the eighties. Now I'm repairing all the damage. Now I'm a health nut. It's all about eating right, exercise, diet, staying fit and looking good and keeping a positive frame of mind."

Duke: "So why did you run away from home at 15?"

Penny: "It's something I don't want to get into. It's very personal. It was a very hurtful experience. I feel like I was forced to grow up at a young age. If I had to do it all over again, I would do it differently. I would've went to college and probably got a degree in Theatre or Communications. I loved the entertainment industry."

Duke: "What did you do when you came to LA at 15?"

Penny: "My first job was at Winchells. I was the donut maker."

Duke: "Were you going to highschool?"

Penny: "I took the GED and graduated. I had to go before a judge...to become emancipated and become a legal adult.

"When I came out here, I was naive and gullible. I thought anybody who partied was cool. I was taken advantage of a lot financially.

"I didn't get in touch with my sexuality until I was 24 (and first had sex with a woman). I always knew I was sexual. I started masturbating at age eight. I remember my sister caught me. I was embarrassed."

Duke: "What led you into porn?"

Penny: "I needed the money. Not because I wanted to be famous."

Duke: "Tell me about walking into the World Modeling building and meeting Rob Spallone?"

Penny: "He's a character. I remember walking in there. It was real smokey and it stunk. I hate smoke. I'm anal retentive and obsessive-compulsive. I'm a neat freak. Everybody was smoking and I was disgusted. He was funny. I told him what I was doing. He called up Kat Kleavage while I was on the phone and she came right over. Then she introduced me to Pamela Peaks who introduced me to Dino Bravo.

"I've done at least a dozen scenes. I did it for around three-months straight. Then I stopped because I didn't think I was doing the right thing. I'm very professional. I just found a lot of flaky people.

"I wish [the work] was more consistent. I'm going to take advantage of it for as long as I can and just go with the flow."

Duke: "Do you prefer working on camera or working in private?"

Penny: "In private. It's more pleasurable.

"Everybody is a character in this industry. The majority are good characters. It wasn't uncomfortable."

Duke: "Any high points or low points?"

Penny: "I didn't think I was going to be recognized. I was going to do it on the low-down and try to be real secretive. I didn't realize how easily that you can become noticed. That's why I took a break [for a year] and did some soul-searching. Then I decided -- I already did it. The damage is done."

Duke: "Did you notice people treating you any differently once they found out you were a porn star?"

Penny: "Yeah. Some of my clients with my regular job. Some of them treat you like you are a celebrity and some of them are like, 'How could you have done that?'

"I would love to settle down with someone and lead a normal life."

Duke: "How has your work in porn affected you? Has it jaded you?"

Penny: "Yeah, it has jaded me. It's going to take somebody special, if I ever meet that special person, to understand it and not judge me for it. I never judge anybody. Nobody's perfect. Supposedly the only perfect person whoever existed was Jesus Christ and they crucified him on the cross.

"I have noticed that since I started in the industry, I haven't dated. I don't know if I am afraid to meet somebody and have to tell them. Because I am a very honest person. I don't like keeping skeletons in the closet.

"I really connect with foreigners. Europeans especially. They're more free and open. Maybe the word is liberal.

"I rarely go out. If there's a band... I just find it sad how superficial people are. I'm in a tough category, my age. Men my age want to date 20-year old girls. The only men who want to date me are boys who want the experience of an older woman, or old men who want someone younger."

Duke: "Were you dating much before you got into the industry?"

Penny: "I was engaged. That ended abruptly. I got into the relationship for all the wrong reasons [financial]. He pursued me heavily. I should've never done it, otherwise I probably wouldn't be in the industry I am in right now. I was doing well before I met him. I had my own home. It just turned my world upside down."

Duke: "How long was it between the ending of that relationship and you getting into porn?"

Penny: "About a month.

"Even though I come across as this strong independent woman, I would love to be taken care of, because I have been on my own my entire life. It would be nice to be pampered by someone with whom I have a strong chemistry.

"It always seems that the men I like don't like me and the men who like me, I don't like. I just haven't found my soulmate. Beforehand, I was celibate for two years. Before that, I was in a relationship for ten years with a man ten years younger than me. He was the love of my life. Now he's in a band with his new girlfriend.

"In the eighties, I wanted to manage rock bands. I used to be the mother hen to a lot of musicians. I always had the place to live. I was always the stable secure one with a job. I always had musicians sleeping on my couch or on my floor. Just because I loved rock 'n' roll."

Duke: "How much of your life have you been blonde?"

Penny: "Two years. I'm naturally a brunette. Do blondes have more fun? Yes, they do. They get more attention."

Duke: "Blonde and with enormous breasts. It would be hard for men not to be overwhelmed."

Penny: "That's what my problem is. Men never ask me out on dates."

Duke: "They're intimidated."

Penny: "A lot of people think it would be to your advantage. A lot of people think I get hit on all the time. It's the complete opposite. And when they do, they're total geeks. I say to myself, do I have an 'L' for loser written on my head?"

Duke: "I thought men would be jumping on you."

Penny: "Not at all. That's why I want to get a breast reduction. So people would look at me differently. Of course when people look at them, they think they're fake. Then they realize, those aren't fake. People can't understand how such a small-framed girl can have such large breasts, but it happens. My grandmother and mother were the same way. My sister were completely flat-chested."

Penny talks about how inconsistent porn work is. "May, June, July of last year was great. Then August, September, the phone quit ringing. Then people started finding out. The stuff didn't get released for six months later. That's when I got the rude awakening. Then I was all freaked-out. Finally, I said, the damage is done."

James DiGiorgio Denies Reality Of Snuff Films

He writes on simplyjimmyd.com:

I've been in this business a pretty long time--not as long as some, but longer than a lot of people and I've never heard of anyone producing a snuff film. I've never seen a snuff film nor has anyone ever offered to show me a snuff film. I don't even know anyone who knows anyone who knows anything about snuff films. I wouldn't have a freakin' clue as to how to go about getting my hands on a snuff film, assuming I wanted to get my hands on one... which I don't.

On Set With Penny Porsche, Kandi Kream

I arrive at 9:15am. I look in an SUV, thinking it is Rob Spallone's. It's not. There's a tall blonde inside. She smiles at me. I don't know her. I nod to her and move on to production manager Kenny Carolina and director Ron Sullivan.

Rob told me that today's shoot was going to be all-black. I guess she's here for the Argentinian shooter Urbano (NG Video Inc, filmaker4@yahoo.com).

A few minutes later, I run into her in the hallway and we end up talking the morning away. That chemistry thing.

Penny Porsche stands 5'7". She has natural F-cup breasts (had them lifted, but no implants).

Chaim writes: "As I just told Luke, I don't believe that. Gravity cannot be denied. But even so, if he does not... he is a gay dude."

Helpful writes: " Agreed. Or maybe Luke just wants to get her out of that nightie so he can try it on?"

After a year off from porn, Penny re-entered last week.

She's appeared in Knockin Nurses #4; Mother's I'd Like To F--- #12; MILFCruiser #3; Big Boob Fantastic 40s; Big Gorgeous Breasts; Hot 40 #6; Mature Shavers #7; Mother's I'd Like To F--- #11; Older and Anal #21; Real Big Tits #19; Older, Better, Bolder #2-OIder Really Is Better; Toe Jam #4; Toss My Salad #7.

Penny doesn't do interracial. She's not sexually attracted to black men.

I meet Stacey Cash, 24, and her boyfriend of five years Eric Bowen (former NHL player). They have Cash_agency@hotmail.com and about ten girls working for them.

In her six years in porn, Stacey (CEO of Cash Exxxchange Entertainment) has done over 300 movies.

I turn to Eric: "You should be able to buy a house with a pool."

They laugh.

Duke: "You've worked her ass. You're pimpin'!"

That was meant in the jocular complimentary modern sense of the word "pimp." It's now a good thing to be a pimp. Hip-hop rapper culture, street talk. I'm with it. I want to bang you over the head with how with-it I am. I'm Mack the Knife.

Eric, modestly, self-effacingly, slightly-embarrassed: "No, no."

Duke: "You're the man."

Stacey's still laughing.

Duke: "I admire that. He leaves the Jaguar at home..."

They drove up in a dumpy car.

Stacey laughs: "Oh no, don't bring the Jag."

Duke to Stacey: "You made a lot of people rich.

"Why did you get into the industry?"

Stacey: "I like the money. I love the job of course. I like the people. I like moving up in the business. I did one part, the acting, and now I'm behind the camera shooting and I'm an agent as well and I'm starting a website -- StaceyCash.com -- where I'll do everything I don't do on camera -- anal, DPs."

Duke: "Animals?"

Stacey laughs: "No animals. Just wholesome things."

Duke: "How about you and Eric going at it on camera on the website?"

Stacey: "Not on the website. No, no, no. Only at home in private."

Duke: "What do you love and hate about the business?"

Stacey: "I love the money. Common answer. I hate..."

Long pause. "I can't think of anything. I don't hate anything. Well, I hate that you can't move up quick enough. Being a black girl, it's hard to get a lot of work, because not a lot of black people shoot. It's hard to get in a lot of white movies. I've been in a few features, but I also have that white-girl look. I'm lucky."

I stare at her. She has skin as black as coal.

Duke: "What do you mean -- white-girl look?"

Stacey moves her hands over her hips and bum: "Slim. Happy. Booty's not too big."

Duke: "Do you prefer to white with work?"

We laugh.

Stacey: "I like the black guys. I like more aggression in my work..."

Duke: "You get that with the black guys. The brothers. They're more aggressive."

Stacey: "Yeah."

Duke: "It helps to have a prison record."

Stacey and Eric laugh.

Duke: "There's nothing like a convicted sex offender to really get a good scene."

They laugh.

Stacey: "A real hair-puller."

Duke: "And drinking some hard liquor on set. Talking about your time in the pen. Three years for this. Six years for that."

Stacey: "You know."

Duke: "Cuntree and Wesley Pipes."

They laugh.

Duke: "They know how to talk to a girl."

Stacey agrees. "They're definitely funny. They're characters."

Duke: "What have been some of the high points and low points of your career in pornography?"

Stacey: "The last AVN [Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas]. I got to do a lot of signing. That was definitely a high point.

"The lows would only be when the industry goes down"

Duke: "The AIDS crises."

Stacey: "That was down."

Duke: "When you were a little girl, what did you want to be when you grew up?"

Stacey: "A doctor."

She laughs.

Duke: "What happened to that dream?"

Stacey: "It just faded away.

"I am a licensed insurance agent. I can license you for everything but Life."

Duke: "Do you do a lot of that?"

Stacey: "Not anymore. I'm strictly an agent now and work in the adult industry."

Duke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool [in Woodland Hills]?"

Stacey: "I was pretty much to myself. I had two or three friends. I was a flag girl, not a cheerleader. I was pretty popular."

Duke: "What kind of student were you?"

Stacey: "I was a good student. B+."

Duke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with?"

Stacey: "The in-crowd."

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

Stacey: "I was 17."

Duke: "Was it Eric [they went to highschool together]?"

Stacey: "No."

She starts laughing hard.

Eric: "I told everybody though."

Stacey: "He used to get on my nerves."

Duke: "So when you found out she was giving it up, you told everyone."

Eric: "Oh yeah. I wanted a piece too when I found out that everyone else was getting some."

Duke to Stacey: "Were you a slut?"

Stacey: "No. I was a pretty good girl. I never slept around in highschool. People just assumed. I was one of those cute little flirty girls. But that was it. One person in the whole school at the time."

Duke: "The whole school started lining up."

Eric: "Probably."

Duke: "Did it make you lose respect for her?"

Eric: "No. I was just trying to figure out a way to..."

Duke: "Monetize it?"

Eric: "Exactly. To monetize it."

Duke: "Were you already working girls in highschool and sending them off to do privates?"

Eric Bowen: "No. I used to play professional [NHL] hockey for [two years for] the Atlanta Thrashers. Then I got really sick."

More on Eric Bowen, born 10/30/81 in Canoga Park.

Eric has worked in the sex industry for about 18-months.

Duke: "You didn't have a problem when you found out Stacey was a porn star?"

They laugh.

Eric and Stacey have been boyfriend-girlfriend since graduating highschool in June 1999.

Stacey: "We went to lunch..."

Erci: "And I ended up getting the best head of my life two weeks later."

But there was a hiccup in the relationship.

Eric: "I didn't know about [Stacey's porn work]. I was sitting on a couch watching the Super Bowl in January 2000 with teammates. Halftime came around and guys started flipping around through my channels on my TV. The dirty channel came on. Everyone was howling and hooting and hollering over this black girl on the TV. I came up to give her a look and it was Miss Stacey Cash.

"I didn't talk to her for about six months after that, until I got home."

Duke to Stacey: "Did you wonder why he didn't talk to you for six months?"

Stacey: "No. I knew. I knew something happened. Everybody else knew so I figured he must've seen something."

Duke: "So what happened when you came home [in June 2000]?"

Eric: "I broke up with her and she seduced me to go into the park bathroom that I broke up with her in and she f----- me in the bathroom and I couldn't leave after that."

Duke: "How far apart was this breaking-up and hooking-up?"

Stacey and Eric say it was 20-minutes.

Eric: "She went into the bathroom crying."

Duke: "And you went in to comfort her."

Eric: "I went in to say, what's wrong? What's going on with you?"

Duke: "How long between him saying what's wrong and him slipping it in?"

Stacey: "Five minutes at the most."

Duke: "Did it make you feel better?"

Stacey: "Oh yeah. I felt a lot better. We've been together eversince."

Eric: "We're in business. We started an agency."

Stacey: "We're a happy couple."

Duke to Eric: "How did you get into the business?"

Eric: "I was sick. I came home. I ended up sitting around for a while. I was trying to figure out what I was going to do. We started talking about a few things. We figured out that people had websites that she didn't know about she was on. So why can't we do that? We've just been trying to put it all together, meet the right people and make the right contacts."

Duke: "Does it bother you if your girl does interracial?"

Eric: "No, it doesn't. It's a paycheck. It's work. Anybody who's been on an adult set and watched what goes on knows it's work for everybody participating.

"I can't do that. I'm not even going to try."

Duke: "Don't you feel jealous when you're sitting there and some other guy is plooking your girlfriend?"

Eric: "No. It's work. Right after she's done, she's coming home with me."

Duke: "What are the things that surprised you about the industry?"

Eric: "That it is actually work. From sitting at home and jerking off to all these movies you watch..."

We hear Rob's booming voice as he talks to Stacey: "I want you to know that we're not prejudiced here. We're dressing [this white German guy Oliver] as a Klu Klux Klan guy. His car breaks down. He knocks on the door. There are five or six black girls. They piss on him, gag him..."

Rob takes a call from Oliver: "You better be here by 2:30 and you better clean your ass out."

Rob turns to us: "He gets abused. This guy ain't going to be able to s--- ever again.

"It's European. He's drinking bottles of piss. He's getting fisted in his ass.

"I get a phonecall Sunday night from some Hollywood company. 'We'd like to use you as a part in a television series.' Where did you get my name? From the internet. They've been reading about me.

"They want me Monday in Santa Monica. They're doing a new reality series. Couples that have sexual problems and some porno guy, maybe me, goes to these people's houses and talks to them. Dr. Rob."

I stand beside the pool and chat with Penny.

Rob comes up and starts throwing coins in the pool.

Penny tells him that's bad.

Rob: "I don't give a f--- about that Jew [Ariel, Israeli porn distributor] who owns this house. Israelis are scumbags.

"My mother and father were the first people to shoot a video. They were among the first companies to shoot a video. You know what the videos used to sell for? Sixty dollars a piece. You know videos go for now? Seventy-five cents. It's the Israelis fault. They cut prices."

Rob wants to get a facial and a manicure and a pedicure.

Isn't that a faggy thing to do?

Rob says no.

Duke: "Why don't you pay child support instead of buying jewelry and pedicures?"

Penny: "Don't you feel sorry for your kids?"

Rob: "No. Her family's wealthy. She's being selfish taking the kids to New York."

Ron Sullivan says he's been in the business 41-years. He turns 66 next month.

Rob takes a rubber band and aims it an insect on the wall. "I'm like Daniel Boone," he crowes. Then he releases the band, which smacks the insect and knocks it to the floor.

Rob demands of Kenny: "Where the donuts?"

"I didn't bring any," Kenny lies. He's hidden them from Rob who needs to lose the weight.

Rob: "It's Cinco de Mayo. They're drinking all day."

He recalls going to Dodger stadium Monday. "Everybody was Mexican (except for 30 white guys) and drunk and fighting. They had to stop the game for 15-minutes because they threw s--- all over the field. There are seats in the outfield that they don't even serve beer in. Those are the cheap seats. Only $2. But they come drunk. And these idiots do it every day. These guys were running on the field. Once you run on the field, you go to jail. There's no way out. There were 40-50 cops on the field, beating the s--- out of them and hauling them away. Where did they think they were going? I couldn't figure it out. Two guys ran from right field. When they get to the other side?"

Rob recalls checking out a new 55-series Mercedes in the parking lot at the Lamplighter (restaurant in Chatsworth).

Bizarre Video owner Keith Gordon walks out and catches Rob checking out his car. "Hey Spallone," he yells. "What are you going to do? Rob my car?"

Rob: "We're talking and this pick-up truck pulls up and runs into Keith's car. Keith didn't want to walk over. So I went over. The guy was trying to pull away. I looked at Keith's car. It was nothing.

"Keith's had the car a month. When he first got, somebody ran into it and wiped the back."

Duke: "So how's Keith doing?"

Rob: "Good."

Duke: "I hear he's struggling."

Rob: "Keith don't struggle."

Duke: "How are his friends? The family?"

Rob: "Good. You like to bust people's balls.

"Rob told me that I should not write about Keith anymore. I should never write about Lenny Friedlander."

Duke: "And not Joey Abinanti?"

Rob: "And never write about my friend Joey Abinanti."

Duke: "And Vinny D?"

Rob: "And never Vinny D."

Rob bought one of Brian and Cytherea's dogs and brought it home to his kids. Now the dog's crying all the time because he misses his mates.

Spallone's had 17-cars in ten-years. He met me eight years ago. I'm still driving the same vehicle.

Rob's gangster friend Emilio, I met him with Rob a couple of times in Las Vegas, has been busted by the feds for racketeering.

Penny says her 38F-breasts (no implants) weigh 14-pounds.

She says until a decade ago, they were DDs. When she was ten, they were Bs. By thirteen, they were Cs.

"All the treasures in the chest," she says, patting her chest, "and no junk in the trunk," she concludes, patting her bum.

A guy tells Penny that her scene partner, Carson, called half-an-hour ago to say that she was right around the corner.

"That was a big corner," says Rob.

I talk Thursday afternoon to Chaim Amalek:

THAT'S a 43 year old?
>Are my feeling so wrong?
How big is she for real? Ie, what was her cup size as nature intended? I hate touching balls of plastic.
>All natural
Bull. Not possible. Gravity cannot be denied. If those were real, they'd be down to her knees by age 43.
> She had a lift, but no implants.
Have you felt them?
> No, but my friend did right in front of me. I denied myself.
You will, and you will see they are not real but so what. If you do not, you are a miserable fag. I would do her in a heartbeat and last just as long with her. Tell her that if she can't have you, she can have me. All she has to do is come out here or send me a ticket and I will go out there.
Luke, if you fail to ---- her, you will regret it. So when are you getting together with her? And most importantly, is she Jewish? I suspect not. That's it, I'm moving to California.
Which dressing did she use in "Toss My Salad"? I see it is "Toss My Salad no. 7", implying 1 - 6.
I saw her site, www.pennyporschexxx.com. It lists the movies, but does not say anything about them. It's a very simple site. No linking.

AdultVideoEditor writes [The details in the first graph have not been substantiated to me and so I present them only as the opinion of the writer, the links in the following have been inserted by me]:

Penny says she doesnt do interracial because she isnt attracted to black men, but she finds the old jewish men with skin sores that pay for her "escorting" to be very sexy and fulfilling.

Her website [Pennyporschexxx.com] is registered to Pam Peaks. Pam Peaks has many many escorts listed on her website as being available. Most are over $700 per hour. Rumor has it that Pam Peaks is about to get thrown in jail on various charges.

Everyone knows you don't do outcall in the valley. Everyone know you should keep a low profile and only fools take out ads on eros-la.com for several girls that say "call my agent pam peaks."

Pam Peaks is not an agent. Shoots the tacky cable access show with nude cooking at the home of Randy Detroit who used to place ads in LA-X-press for "how to enter the adult video business" for $20. He also used to post ads on LA-X-press looking for male talent. There was a $100 "sign up" fee.

World Modeling has no sign up fee. Its been in business many years. Randy Detroit has no formal office or business license in LA county.

AdultVideoEditor follows up to me (after I initially edited his email before publication, then later realized he was right and ran the whole thing):

Why do jews like you always twist things to suit your own purpose? you should have posted everything or nothing. I cant wait for a girl to come into the business saying she has no problem with black guys but refuses to do jews on video. she would get incredible publicity because of all the outrage. you and everyone else on la brea would start comparing it to the holocast all over again. but you have no problem using interviewing with all the anti-interracial crap? selfhating jews such as yourself are worse then any anti-semite.

PamelaPeaks.com lists Penny as available for escorting: "$1500/hr. TOTAL for both, full service full service."

PamelaPeaks.com also lists such allegedly available porn stars-escorts as: Carson, Kendra Jade, Kat Kleevage, Dynamite, John West, Bridgette Monroe, Raquel Devine, Alex Sanders, Ciera Sage, Amber Lynn, Tami Monroe, Domonique Simone.

Why does all this remind me of what happened to Exotica-2000?

AdultVideoEditor writes: "Thank you for doing the right thing. if you could add a email link and let people know if they need an editor with a Final Cut Pro, Avid DV Xpress 5.0 and Premiere 1.5 HDV editer with DVD authoring capablities(output to DVD+-R or DLT) to let me know. I'm in North Hollywood and have many many adult video company credits along with mainstream credits as well."

Jews, Whites, Negroes: These are a few of my favorite things.....

An wise sage from the Upper West Side of Jewish New York ("I'm a lame hack" in anagram form) writes:

Luke, as you know, I happen to be an older Jewish gentleman with more than his share of sores and liver spots, and I'd love to be escorted to the next meeting of Town Hall by your new friend, Penny Porsche. (Hell, I'd be thrilled if she just escorted me to the deli counter at Zabars for some nova some Sunday.) But only if you can arrange this before you get to minister to her spiritual needs. You know how it is. If any man I know has beaten me to the punch when it comes to attending to a woman's spiritual state, I find myself unable to satisfy her in that regard.

Some Nazi porn-pig wrote to you saying "Why do jews like you always twist things to suit your own purpose? you should have posted everything or nothing. I cant wait for a girl to come into the business saying she has no problem with black guys but refuses to do jews on video. she would get incredible publicity because of all the outrage. you and everyone else on la brea would start comparing it to the holocast all over again. but you have no problem using interviewing with all the anti-interracial crap? selfhating jews such as yourself are worse then any anti-semite." I'm not sure what his point is. The truth is that white men (and I'm not white) are really ticked whenever they see a beautiful white woman having sex with a black man, and that's just the way it is. Even liberal men like me are disturbed by such acts of suggested miscegenation, for while they represent a bold advance in the march of Black Men towards full racial parity with white men in the sexual realm, they also represent the continued doom of the black woman's marital prospects.

Yes, that's right, the black woman - remember her? Because White men are just not up for mating with black women to the degree that white women seem to be up for mating with black men (I think the ratio is at least three to one in favor of the Black man), every Negro who shifts his attention to the white woman equates to yet another lonely a black woman who will spend her life without the love of a black man to care for her, and that can't be good for society. For one thing, such manless black women tend to become brides of the democratic party (the only bunch that wants them, they must think), and thus look to the State to do all those things that a Black Husband would otherwise do, from helping to raise the kids to paying for groceries, and as any libertarian can tell you, that never works out. Thus, a White Porn starlet like your Miss Penny who refuses to copulate with a Negro on film is striking a blow for the Black Women of America, and she should be lauded for her deep racial sensitivity and understanding of the situation.

Now, is there any equivalence here to us Jews? I say not. First of all, in demographic terms, we jews are a drop in the swimming pool, making up only about 2.5% of the population of the United States (versus a much more robust 13% for Negroes), and a declining, rapidly greying 2.5% at that. We pose no demographic threat to anyone, what with our small shriveled penises, covered in liver spots. On the other hand, we are very easy to threaten, ADL or no ADL. We remember that Hitler began his reign of terror over us by denying German Jews the right to marry fine white shiksas, so were anyone to encourage that sort of first step here and now, well, you can be damn sure they'd be hearing from our lawyers and assets in the media. Pronto.

I suggest the author of that screed - and you and we know who he is - make a nice donation to the Skirball Center today.

A Current Affair

I am on A Current Affair today talking about snuff films and the killing of Taylor Summers aka Natel King. It airs at 11pm on Channel 11 in Los Angeles May 5.

Chaim Amalek reports from New York: "LUKE! I just saw you on A Current Affair! You are on right now. Pretty good. Too bad about that Natel. Crummy tie, though. You are on at the very start of the segment, talking about snuff films. And are presented as a somber expert on the demimonde of porn. But that tie didn't work for you. And your suit seemed ill-fitting. You need to go shopping with some fags."

Khunrum writes: "Why shouldn't his suit seem ill-fitting? It's the same one he's worn every week since 2000."

Tim Case Breaks Back

Mike South reports:

He broke his back on Monday but refused treatment until today when it wasn't getting any better. If there's any good news in this, it's that it is a workmen's comp covered injury...

He is checked into the hospital for just tonight and some of tomorrow, he is being fitted for a back brace and if all goes well be released tomorrow afternoon. He is currently heavily sedated but in good spirits (as he always is) His prognosis is good provided he does as the doctors tell him.
