Greg Lasrado Busted For Heroin
FORMER internet porn king Greg Lasrado was injecting up to $4500 worth of heroin a day before he was caught in a police sting this week, a court has heard. The 35-year-old, who once made an estimated $3-$10 million a year, appeared in handcuffs in the Brisbane Magistrate's Court yesterday where he was charged with possession of a dangerous drug. Police also claim he transferred $60,000 over the past month into the bank account of a 25-year-old who supplied him with heroin. Lasrado – whose occupation was listed on court documents as stock trader – was arrested by detectives at his Kenmore Hills home on Thursday. Police opposed Lasrado's release, saying he was already on bail for a charge of driving while under the influence of a drug and causing grievous bodily harm. He was granted bail from the Holland Park Magistrate's Court in December last year and will face court again on that charge in April. Prosecutor Sergeant Jen Jacobsen said 5g of rock heroin was found at Lasrado's home yesterday. She claimed Lasrado had spent about $60,000 on heroin since January 21, and was shooting about $4500 worth of the drug up his arm every day. "He is an unacceptable risk to the public and himself due to his addiction," Sgt Jacobsen said. She said Lasrado had made admissions to police about his heroin use and about financial transactions he made to his alleged supplier. Defence counsel Peter Nolan said his client had no criminal history, but admitted he had a problem with heroin and wanted help. "He tells me he has made contact with a drug rehabilitation consortium in the cells today," he said.

David Crawford Vs. American Hardcore
On Feb 15, I got IMs saying American Hardcore was going out of business and David (Lord) Crawford was going to sue them.
I called American Hardcore co-owner T.J. DiReda and published his views that David Crawford and a couple of other people had let him down. T.J. said AH was ramping up, not gearing down.
Friday afternoon, I got David on the phone.
Luke: "How are you?"
David: "I was good until I read that thing on your site. I'm going to kill this guy. This guy's an idiot.
"The people that should be blamed for this are Vic and T.J. (co-owners of American Hardcore). They screwed everyone. Today they finally made good on the $4100 they owed Joel Lawrence.
"This is the deal. We were going out to Vegas. They wanted me to PM (production manage) their show. TJ got the house. He wanted a couple of guys to stay there and do a couple of free scenes.
"On the set of Meat Puppets, a Martin Del Torro movie, TJ pulls the guys aside and, I thought, cut the deal with them. TJ looks at me and says, 'Hey Dave, give them the information for Vegas.'
"I'm thinking, address and call time. Not setting up the deal. He's the owner of the company. He can set up whatever deal he wants with them.
"Two days before we go to Vegas, I say to him, 'TJ, did you tell the guys they were going to be doing free scenes?' He said, 'No, I thought you were going to do that.'
"I talk to Van Damage and Justin Magnum and they both can't do it. They both need the money. They're not going to Vegas for fun and games. They need to earn.
"I talk to Vic (co-owner of AH). He says fine.
"We go to Vegas. Justin says, 'Dude, I really need this money for my rent. When we get back from Vegas, you'll pay us.'
"TJ's nowhere to be found. Finally, I get a hold of TJ and say, 'This guy needs to be paid. Can I give this guy a personal check and you guys will reimburse me?' TJ says, 'Yeah, no problem.' They reimburse me for that check. That check bounces.
"This $10,000 difference figure is bull. It's a $2,000 difference (for two scenes from Van Damage and two scenes from Justin). They haven't even paid on that. We went out there to shoot four scenes and we did.
"They gave me a $2,600 check, which was my money ($1,400) and a reimbursement of the $1,200. They didn't just bounce it. They stopped payment on it.
"They haven't paid the photographer Chad, who just got burnt by Vertigo and has to collect unemployment. They haven't paid Van Damage."
TJ: "Van Damage is owed money. We have a check for him at our office. Chad's been paid. Everyone's been paid but David."
David: "TJ calls me. 'Bro, I'm not going to dick you. Don't worry about it.'
"I've had a confident relationship with TJ. I know everything about their company. He's opened up the books to me. That company is operating at a loss. I told him, 'Dude, you're going to be out of business in three months if you keep operating like this.'"
TJ says Vic is going nowhere. That neither he nor Vic have taken any money out of the company except their salaries.
TJ DiReda writes:
We are not in any way close to going out of business, in fact the main issue for us (which we never anticipated) is that the product is being so well received that we need to expand and make more movies to satisfy the requests for more titles. This is and has been the only problem for American hardcore. We do not have the ability as a new company to start releasing 4 titles when our first release went out in September, and we have only put out 7 movies. We have been restructuring based on the need for growth, and I did discuss with David what his thoughts were and what we should do. The result was the decision to go to 3 titles a month and be comfortable.
Incidentally, Vic and I do not handle our books, so it's a false statement that I shared sensitive information with anyone least of all someone working for us. The only book that is being read here is by David Craw ford and its a fictional tale about a guy who has been fired by five companies in a row and decides to be bitter and bad mouth everyone.
David Lord's Titty Babies, Martin Del Toro's Meat Puppets and Tommy Joe's Slut Machines out this month.
David: "That's why I was shocked when TJ threw me under the bus [on lukeisback because David understood from his friendship with TJ that AH's financial problems were Vic's fault as well as TJ's].
"I felt so bad for Joel because I hired his people. I felt responsible."
Luke: "Are you going to sue American Hardcore?"
David: "Yes. The sad thing is that these guys are friends of mine. They didn't understand cash flow. They received a lot of money from their investors. They weren't able to make that money profitable."
TJ says the following paragraph is false.
David: "I can't deal with them not taking responsibility for their own bad business decisions. They burned Daniel at Dimension for $11,000. They gave him a check to get the product and then stopped payment on the check."
TJ: "Vic is friends with Daniel. We decided to pull our business from Dimension. They're great guys but there have been too many mistakes. We definitely do not owe money.
"Dimension requested that they not have to work with David."
David: "Leslie, a friend of mine who rented me a house in December, got a bum check for $500. Del Torro, they've been screwing him around."
TJ: "Absolutely not true. We just took the lease over on that house. We have some tension with Del Torro. We were upset that he decided to direct for Red Light District. We had talked to him ten minutes before the press release of his went up on AVN and he did not mention it. We had been strong supporters of his. He's our friend. He's owed no money by American Hardcore.
"The problems between us and David occurred because I would not take calls when I was in Boston looking after my father, 77, who's in the hospital with congenital heart failure. It frustrated them when I was not calling them back right away."
David Crawford responds to TJ DiReda:
Any and all of this can be verified. I have e-mails , letters, budgets, and those lovely rubber checks to prove it. All of it is truth.
On Del Toro: In the last 2 months how many checks did you bounce to him? You bounce checks to all your friends? Again Bullshit. As for the lease.... He is moving and he said put up or get out. He went to Red Light cuz their was nothing but bullshit coming from your company. That is the truth and thank god you finally paid him. You being such a standup guy. I am glad for him. I really do like Del Toro. He is a really good guy. I am glad to have met him and become friends.
You did bounce the check to Leslie (house rental for titty babies). Shall we call her?
Chad - Thank god! I told you, you were really f---ing that guy. He had to collect EDD between you and Vertigo and almost had to go back home with is tail between his legs, broke. A month ya made that kid wait how long without a word or $$$ from either one of you. Pretty stand up.
Daniel at Dimension: WRONG! Again put up or shut up. Let’s call. They didn't say that about me , I set you guys up fool and you do owe him. I have done more business with him over the past 10 years if ya count Rob , then you will ever see in this industry. Mistakes were made on your part too on that deal. A deduction on an invoice maybe, but just to burn them for every invoice ...... not cool. But hey I got an idea write hot checks to people when you can't afford stuff....... SHADY!
Don't use your dad ( I even talked you through a lot of that as a friend. You are amazing), don't use me, and in those last phone calls when you where thowing Vic under the bus, don't use him. Take ownership of your mistakes and quit blaming everyone else. I told ya when we got back from Vegas. KEEP MY MONEY!!!!. You said no I would never not pay you or anyone. I ain't that type of guy, I am a stand up guy. I am gonna pay ya bro.You even cut me checks. Yea you know the kind. The rubber kind. I said over and over to you please just pay the talent and everyone else. You didn’t cuz you were with your dad; cool where is your partner at? Why can't he write checks...Ding ding ding. I know cuz he wrote to many to himself. Well that is at least what you said happened. Bottom-line just not calling anyone for over a month is bull shit. You got a months worth of money in and now you are paying people. GREAT!!!!!!! PAY THEM!!!!! Everyone involved knows the truth. I called people back, I made some sort of effort, not you. If everyone gets paid I thank the porn gods above that yet another porn company didn't burn a bunch of hard working people.....and TJ that is what ya did. Don't ever accuse me of not stepping up.. or doing the right thing. Don’t ever question my honor.....ever! I won't be your patsy. You can make up whatever stories you want. See the thing is, I can prove everything I say. Can you TJ? You are great at the spin. You are a great flim flam man. But do not think for a minute I am gonna sit and take your bullshit. So go online as other handles and talk shit, claim you put billboards up on sunset that never happened, just don't drag my name into it. You got money ....great ...pay everyone and get back to business. And leave my name out of it. $2600 to be done with you. The best $2600 I could have ever spent you stand up guy you. Ohhh and if the real owners ever want to speak to me tell them I would be more then happy to meet with them and fill them in on the truth about things. I think they are probably the true victims in all this. 500k and six months, broke, hurting for more money and already you are what you always said you hate. Another shady porn company/guy that f---s people over and writes bad checks. TJ that ain't my fault that is all you and Vic. Do what ya want , just keep my f---ing name out of it.
T.J. DiReda replies:
It was a big mistake to respond to any of this but i felt that I needed to address David's alledged law suit and the pointless rumors he is starting out of spite. It was never my intention to throw any one under the bus. If there was any credibility or truth in the negative references with regard to how I run my company I would be as angry and volitile as David and I'm certain that no one wants that to happen.
The truth is.... in porno there is no truth and the only bit of credibility one can hope to get will come from time and endurance. At the end of the day if David is telling the truth in all that he has said about American Hardcore then i guess the real question is why would he waste so much energy on a company thats doomed and more importanly why bother to sue? I mean you can't get blood from a stone right? So I guess then my new take is " David I'm sorry we are about to fold the company and we have no money to pay you" "my bad."
David Aaron Clark's First Journal Entry In A Year
I guess Eon & his “alt” crowd aren't as stupid as they look. They have learned the neu century lesson: Better to buy into this zeitgeist however empty, & make your religion the pose & the packaging; it's much easier to sell the act of the selling itself as opposed to a message. Or, um, “content,” as the porno merchants infesting the temple of orgasm have come to call it in its most reductive appellation yet. In fact, such prefixes as "meta" have been devalued to laud such cynicism!
In this Brave New Altworld, whether or not you’re really delivering on your promises is moot. Because hey, nobody else does, right? Not the President, not the medical establishment, certainly not the media … the only ones delivering on their promises are fanatic Muslims & look at all the issues that’s caused …. Regardless, while still roaming this Island of Lost Souls & Stretched Holes I buck conventional wisdom by continuing in my attempts to deliver the goods.
Pinky McGoo Arrives On Suze
Pinky writes to Suze:
Do you have as much/less/the same freedom today to write about or show what you wish as you had back in the seventies? And yes, I'm thinking of those cartoons ridiculing Islam, and the astonishing alacrity with which the mainstream press of this country has begun to practice self-censorship in response to Islam's anger. If Islamic religious leaders told you not to photograph certain women in certain ways because they took offense, would you comply? Would your peers?
Pinky writes Luke:
Don't laugh - only Pinky Mcgoo ("I've got my eye on you, I'm Pinky McGoo!) is up on the risk of Mad Cow disease in porn. Only Pinky leaves a message for Holly's lonely mom on her chat board. All those horn dogs writing to Holly because she is young and hot, and pretending Suze does not exist. You should invite Pinky over, assuming he lives in LA.
Bloodlake's VCA Director Christopher L. Gregory
Christopher (left, it's his real name) on his own private Brokeback Mountain? "No, that's Kevin Bassett, my DP. He worked with Kubrick many years ago and recently Robert De Niro on another indie film as second unit cinematographer."
I call him in Indiana at noon PST. My main concern -- what are his intentions towards young Holly? Are they honorable?
I grill him.
Chris: "I got your email and I was curious how you heard about it."
Luke: "Through my friend Holly Randall."
Chris: "Oh. We're trying to get Holly to do some still work for us."
Luke: "Yeah. I said, 'Who is this guy?' I Googled you, looked at your website, and decided to interview you.
"How did you get into the porn industry?"
Chris: "VCA. I did Vampires of Erotica (hardcore lesbian movie) last year and took it to Terry Stamp (at LFP). Terry liked it and talked to Drew [Rosenfeld, LFP's head of production]. Drew contacted me a couple of weeks later and asked me to do more work. I said yes, on the stipulation that I can bring grindhouse horror to [porn]."
Christopher lives in the town he grew up in -- Muncie, Indiana.
Luke: "Are you on Imdb.com?"
Chris: "We've put up several requests. It takes those f---ers forever."
Gregory lived in San Francisco for 15 years. He went to the Academy of Arts College. "I worked for Lucas Films and for Disney. I came back after California became too expensive."
Luke: "Is Muncie like Deliverance?"
Chris: "No. It is more like Hoosiers.
"Bloodlake was shot in Northern Kentucky. All my Adult talent was scared for an entire week. When Adult performers are not accustomed to doing horror films, it's a different world for them. They get freaked out.
"My inspiration is The Devil's Rejects and anything by Rob Zombie."
Gregory made such independent horror films as Sam and Godfellows.
Luke: "What are the challenges of combining horror with hardcore?"
Chris: "It's not challenging at all."
From the age of six on, Gregory was into horror films and planned on becoming a filmmaker.
"My work is similar to Joe D'Amato. In some of his work, he embraced the darkness. He successfully captured the horror of erotica.
"What I like about porn is that it is closeknit. They have a sense of protecting their own.
"The Adult industry hinders itself by not pushing the boundaries because they are afraid of the current administration clamping down."
Gregory's mom is Jewish and his father is Christian. "My family look at me as a filmmaker. I tell a story with everything I do."
Luke: "How has your work in porn affected your love life?"
Chris: "I've not had any negative reactions to it. I don't date outside the [entertainment] industry. I've done it before. It just doesn't work. It's not that I f--- the girls I'm shooting."
Luke: "Why not?"
Chris: "It takes away from my vision. For me as a filmmaker and storyteller, I've set up a personal boundary."
I wonder if that extends to on-set still photographers?
Chris: "I've dated a couple of make-up girls and writers [in porn].
"My focus has been so career-oriented, I don't even think about dating. I'm just driven. Succeeding in a business right now is more important than a relationship.
"Honestly, I don't have time. I still shoot commercials and rock videos."
Luke: "What is it in Holly's work that suggests she'll make a good still photographer for a horror film? That threw me."
Chris: "What do you mean?"
Luke: "Her work's vanilla, at least on suze.net. What do you see?"
Chris: "Honestly, I think that I'm doing something different. The mainstream horror community looks at me and says, 'Wow.' Because they're not doing it."
Luke: "What's the twist you see in Holly's work? I see her as mainstream."
Chris: "As far as my work?"
Luke: "You obviously see something edgy in her work and so I was curious what it was."
Chris: "Oh, with Holly's work?"
Luke: "Yes."
Chris: "With her work, it gives a different look than what I've been seeing. When I look at her pictures, it's not 'Sit here, smile, put your chest out.' Holly's got a certain look that's more gritty, more alternative. That's why I contacted her. I'm doing something that's different, that's alternative, not like Eon McKai, but something that relates to the horror industry. She'd be a perfect fit for that. We're working that out now."
I agree that Holly's a perfect fit.
Luke: "Which part of your work do you find most meaningful?"
Chris: "All of it.
"As long as I am working for people like Drew Rosenfeld, Peter Reynolds, Larry Flynt, even working for New Line Cinemas, I love it.
"My father (Ivan Gregory, who died when Christopher was eleven) was involved in the horror industry.
"You can't separate sex from horror films. There's a reason killers or the supernatural go after people having sex. There's a moral point to it.
"What I love about horror films is that it puts a mirror up to our face. A lot of the problems we cause are our own fault. Right now we have an administration that loves to spy on its own people and send people off to war and kill people. Horror, like porn, is a way we can reflect on those things. Horror is a tool I can use to bring my point across.
"Sex is natural. We all do it. If someone didn't do it, we wouldn't be here."
Luke: "There's a difference between something done privately, such as defecation, and turn it into a commodity and make a living from it. If people made a living from shooting themselves defecating, would you view that as an honorable living?"
Chris: "No. We're all artists. There are people who misuse things. There's an argument about rap music -- that it causes violence and treats women terribly in the urban communities."
Luke: "How do you justify filming sex?"
Chris: "Because it's natural."
Luke: "Defecation is natural."
Chris: "That's true. Because [when shooting sex], there's an emotional attachment to it. You're projecting a fantasy. Human beings need an attachment. We need that. You don't get something from defecating. There's nothing beneficial from defecating. There is something beneficial from sex such as emotions. I can watch Jenna Jameson and think, 'That's me!' Maybe you're helping out your sex life with your partner."
Luke: "I've known some horror directors. They're doms. Are you a dom?"
Chris: "Am I dominant? In what context? Personal? Business?"
Luke: "Personal."
Chris: "Yes, I am dominant. I have to be because I'm driven. If you were to ask someone at VCA -- is Chris driven? Does he always want something? They would tell you yes. You only get farther in this world if you're vocal about it and committed to it. If you're meek about it, particularly in this industry, people will walk all over you.
"There are certain things I have to have my way. If you ask the girls who perform for me, they have to do it my way. If you're sucking this guy off, I want it done this way."
Luke: "Are you into power exchange?"
Chris: "Nope."
Luke: "Do you prefer women who are aggressive or submissive?"
Chris: "Aggressive. I like women who are independent and have a fiery temper. I was in a relationship several years ago in Italy. I was living in Rome. She was Italian. She was dominant. She had a fiery temper. I come from a family like that. When your grandparents have to flee Germany to escape from the Nazis..."
Luke: "What brings you the most meaning and pleasure in your personal life aside from work?"
Chris: "My work. You won't find another person like me who lives to make movies, whether it is porn or mainstream. It's who I am."
I IM Holly: "Christopher Gregory is going to transform pornography. You both are so edgy. You should catch the wave."
Holly: "Oh jeez. Did you mention me?"
Luke: "I'm sorry. I broke my promise to you."
Khunrum writes me: "Well Luke, what do you intend to do about this potentially combustible situation?. Are you going to fight for the women you allegedly care for, or let her be ravaged by this Rob Zombie look-a-like? In other words, are you a man or a mouse? You don't have to answer that question. I believe we already know the answer."
How Frequently Do You Encounter STDs on Girls?
Pinky McGoo writes on Holly's Suze.net chatboard:
It would seem that you get to see just as many pudenda as the average dematologist does in the course of a week. How often do you notice warts or sores on these pudenda? When you spot them, do you point them out to the girl, or do you just continue with the shoot and look to airbrushing/photoshop to clean things up?
Holly replies:
Actually, it's very rare for a girl to show up with something wrong. They're tested at least once a month, and often catch it and have to cancel the shoot before we even see them. But I did have a model show up with cold sores on her face (Herpes simplex 1, which about a third of the population has). Since it was a boy/girl shoot, I had to cancel the guy because I wasn't going to subject him to an outbreak, and we ended up just shooting singles that day. The makeup artist did a very good job covering them up, but I also airbrushed the photos before putting them up. Honestly, I've never (yet!) seen a girl show up with genital herpes or anything like that.
Pinky replies:
How closely do you inspect your models? Do you have an endoscope to check out the internals, or do you limit the inspection process to what is visible to the naked eye? Also, how do you sterilize the toys that models use - do you ask them to bring their own, or do they share? And if they must share, who gets stuck with cleaning up after them? Do you employ someone for this purpose?
Holly replies:
No, I don't go up and inspect them closely-- I'm not a gyno. But if there is something there I will see it while shooting quite quickly. Some girls bring their own toys, but we have a method of sterilizing all of ours-- you'll notice many are glass, which are the easiest to clean. Who does this-- me! Haha! It's because I'm the least germaphobic person in the studio and it doesn't bother me-- plus I want to make sure it's done right.
Pinky replies:
I don't want you to go overboard with this, but you should be aware that some new diseases are caused by pathogens that cannot be killed by standard sterilization techniques. For example, both bovine spungiform encephalopathy (BSE) and Creutzfeld-Jacob Syndrome (CJS) are caused by prions, which are much hardier than common bacteria or even viruses. I think you would want to invest in some sort of a fast neutron source to properly sterilize any dildo that your models may have used or, better yet, simply eschew the reuse of any sex toy. Better safe than sorry.
News Flash: Holly Randall Not Really Interesting
Attn Whities!
I know I haven't posted all that much for the last little bit, but this bitch who I knocked up in highschool has been hounding me for money so I have been crashin at a buddies crib for a few days.
But now that I am firmly back in the saddle as the gay cowboys say, I have been stewing about this for a couple weeks.
I really feel bad for Luke. I can imagine how it must feel to work around soulless people who do nothing but get pummeled in their assholes to earn a paycheck. It makes any girl you see who actually has enough self respect and dignity not to sell destroy her body for chump change attractive.
BUT - step back. People in office jobs and factory jobs all across this country work around decent looking chicks. You people need to broaden your horizons a little. Get out and meet some people out of [the] smut business and maybe you will see the real world has decent chicks too and you don't have to worship the one or two good looking chicks in the smut business who aren't paid whores.
Enough of my rant. Gotta run to Church's Chicken for lunch.
PS - Holly, baby. Next time you hit the gym work on arms.
Holly replies:
News Flash: Holly Randall doesn't think Holly Randall is all that either. I can't help what Luke puts up on his site, and I think the one reason we get along is because I really don't try to censor him at all.
And I totally hear you about the arms, it's one of the least favorite parts of my body. Gonna drop down and give you 20 right now.
Chuck replies:
Holly don't let me contribute if you have any body issues - you are plenty cute and if you were a sista hell maybe I'd drool over you too like Luke and I'm sure tons of other porners do. Now, I really hope you arent licking any diseased hooker asscrack, are you?
Holly replies:
I'm a girl so of course I have body issues-- but not as much as I did back when I was younger. I've come to accept how I look for the most part, and not agonize over it anymore. And no, that is NOT me licking ass crack at PSK!
Random writes: "Holly always looks best when the photographer catches her with an impromptu shot, or a shot where she's not trying to look sexy. I feel the same way about Gia Jordan too."
2cums writes: "Or when Luke isn't the photographer."
WillieD writes:
Holly Randall is interesting for several reasons. Among them is the "porn photo family" angle, and the possibility (not fact, mind you) that this conversation could have occurred at some point:
Holly: Mom, have you seen my car keys? I have a chemistry exam this morning.
SR: They're on top of the Felecia pink dildo proof sheets.
HR: Thanks. What time will you be home tonight?
SR: Probably late. We're shooting a Lene Hefner anal scene, and you know how that can go.
HR: OK. I'll pick up that Ektar 25 on the way home, too.
SR: Thanks...good luck on the test.
Holly Licking A Porn Chick's Ass Crack?
She claims it is not her. I fear that it is her. The earings are the same. The moles on the face are the same. The hair is the same. The face is the same. The tongue is the same.
When she kissed me later that night, I thought something tasted funny but figured it would be impolite to mention it.
I know that the detestable act in the picture is a practice that Holly favors. I remember one night before dinner casually asking her, "Honey, would you toss my salad?" What happened next I will never forget.
More pics from the party. Holly at the party.
I'm sure Holly will say that she was only applying lube. Her XPT signature, after all, is: "I really try to retain a respectful distance from my models, even when I'm lubing up their pussies."
Would someone please explain to me how this is "keeping a respectful distance from my models"?
Sometimes Holly and I have very different ways of looking at the world.
At 12:45 pm, Stacey emailed: "Is picture 18 from the badass party Holly licking some porn chick's ass crack?"
I replied: "She says it is not her."
Stacey writes:
Hahahaha...I see my question made for a good headline. I am sorry, but I have to disagree...everything lines up. IT IS her. pretty hot actually.
AND....I think it is fabulous that you two are such good friends still and that she agrees to be the focus of almost EVERY single one of your articles. EIther that, or...You are obsessed. I am sure it is the friends bit.
Jack writes: "Sorry dude, I think that is Holly. So painful."
Eric Danville writes: "Yo Luke, Cool your jets. Definitely not her (I think!) The earrings are wrong (H's had jewels at the bottom). I think it's the chick in the second row of pics, with the guy in the blue t-shirt. And if it was her, why wouldn't you be happy for her?"
Because it is disgusting and against the Torah.
"Hey man, Is there an anti-analingus clause in the Torah? Not Jewish, so I wouldn’t know. But disgusting? C’mon..."
A friend calls and helpfully suggests: "Maybe Holly was on a shoot and she ran out of lube and she applied some lip gloss. She didn't have a bottle so she just used her lips."
Pete writes: "It's not Holly in the photo in question. Thought the same myself but it's the young lady in red. Holly's wearing hoop earrings with a pearl, not just a hoop. Relax young Luke. This should ease your mind."
Pariah writes on XPT: "Duke I think it is safe to say you are not on a CSI unit anywhere? Did you look at this girl during your investigation?"
Holly writes me: "You goofball I already told you that's not me. You WISH I'd toss your salad, ya pervert!"
Ray from PornValleyNews.com writes: "Luke, Being the photographer, I can state unequivocally that Holly is NOT the girl in the photo. That's Sasha Knox licking Amber Rayne's ass crack."
I've been reading Rodney Stark's book, The Rise of Christianity, and trying to find helpful hints in there on how to convert more surfers to Suze.net.
I post on GFY: "Suze.net has a new tour. What do you think? Why won't this site convert?"
Jace replies: "Because you are pushing it and everyone hates you. Go copy and paste that you moron."
JJSlim writes: "I love Suze and the Suze family are great friends of mine. I am not going to comment negatively as I know who designed it but the style of Suze has been lost now. Bring that back with the cleaner, easier navigation and it should do a lot better."
Holly, Suze Randall See Madame Butterfly Thursday Night
Holly leaves me this message at 11:30pm Thursday: "The opera was awful. People freezing in time for long periods of time, striking silly poses. There was basically no set. My mom and I left early. It was so bad. She was so mad at me for dragging her to such a horrible experience. I was just trying to be cultured. I failed miserably at it. I guess I should go back to being uncultured and to where I belong -- pornographer."
Brandon Iron and Hillary Scott had tickets to the same opera.
Friday morning, 9:15.
Luke: I'm sorry I did not get to see that opera
HollyRandall: oh god you would've died
Luke: but I'll get a blog post out of your reaction to it
HollyRandall: it was so awful
Luke: and that's what really matters.
HollyRandall: it was just very avant garde and minimalist
HollyRandall: did i mention that i started laughing during one part?
HollyRandall: it was almost like a parody, it was so bad
HollyRandall: several people left early
HollyRandall: so you don't like my myspace profile, huh?
HollyRandall: what bothers you?
HollyRandall: i have pics of pornstars because they are my friends, you
know
HollyRandall: it's hard to separate my personal life from my professional
one
HollyRandall: they've become totally intertwined
Luke: I blog my life out
HollyRandall: especially when you grow up in it, and your parents are
in it
HollyRandall: the line blurs, you know
Luke: Let's not to go to Iran after all for our getaway this year...
HollyRandall: With every day that passes I become more and more convinced
that you're totally insane. Are you off your lithium again?
HollyRandall: wow that was weird, i was visiting a site trying to find
more info about the movie, and i got a pop up that simply said "Got Luke"?
Then it flashed to an advertisement for "Luke" the computer screen cleaner.

Rob Rotten Interview
I call him Thursday afternoon. I've seen him at a lot of events but frankly his tattoos and piercings scared me off. By telephone I'm more calm.
James DiGiorgio writes me: "File under 'looks are deceiving.' Rob's one of the nicest guys in the biz."
Luke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?"
Rob: "I wanted to do porn, dude. Since I was eleven. I never thought I'd be a [porn star]. I thought I could just aspire to be a camera guy. Then it all just fell in my lap thanks to Jim Powers."
Luke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool?"
Rob: "I dropped out of highschool in my freshman year. I made it about three weeks. I just went straight to work for a cement company, operating heavy machinery. I got crushed by a cement mixer. I moved to a rock quarry. I drove heavy machinery. [Something] got blown up and I got hurt there too. It was a blasting accident. The dynamite blasting caps went off prematurely. I was 17.
"I was in the hospital for a while. Then I got into the Local 6 electrical union in San Francisco. I still do that.
"I got into porn six years ago, when I was 18. It's been awesome, dude. It's allowed me to make really cool movies that I don't think anyone else in their right mind would put up money for.
"I've been tied into the music industry since I was young, being in bands and being around bands. That's become a huge part of my porn stuff.
"I've never wanted to do porn like the Vivid stuff. I never watched porn to yank one out. I watched porn to laugh at it, like JM's and Jim Powers' stuff.
"As soon as I got in the business and got a few scenes under my belt, I said to Jim, 'Let's do a movie together.' We did Little Runaways together, a punk rock movie."
Luke: "How did you get into the porn industry?"
Rob: "I was filming a friend's band in LA. I talked to another guy who was filming a friend's band. He said he shot porn. I said, 'Dude, put me in a movie.' That's how it happened. I did good. I got put in five scenes that week.
"It's been fun and also a nightmare.
"I was shocked when I got in how corporate it was and how professional people were. The great thing about it is to be able to express yourself. I don't shoot normal porn. I don't shoot alt-porn because 'alt-porn' is tranny porn. I shoot different stuff. It was an uphill battle for a long time to convince companies that this is where the market's gone.
"I was shut down by Vivid four years ago. I was shut down by Larry Flynt four years ago. All these people were like, 'Why don't you do a movie for us?' Then they said, 'This is too much of a risk. We can't have music and chicks that don't belong.'
"Hustler was interesting. They dragged it out for a year. Since then the hatchet's been buried."
Luke: "How has it affected your life to work in porn?"
Rob: "I've been able to meet a lot of rad people and do a lot of cool things. I've been trying to bring things into porn because porn by itself is ridiculous. But when you bring in different aspects, all of a sudden it has this spark.
"Wadi from The Exploiters, we're good friends now. That dude was my idol when I was a kid. Now we're talking to each other on the phone and bulls---ing and stuff.
"I'm making movies that I want to see.
"I didn't start this punk rock in porn movement. I didn't start zombie movies in porn. For a lot of these people who are coming out now and saying they're starting this, that's bulls---. If you want to give someone credit for starting something, I'd give it to Jim Powers. He had all these great punk bands in movies in the early nineties."
Luke: "How has it affected your relationships with women?"
Rob: "When I came into porn, I met my ex-girlfriend (Rachel Rotten?) and we performed together for over a year-and-a-half. I don't think the business had anything to do with me breaking off with her other than the fact that I was just bored. That was going to happen sooner or later regardless. I have no complaints. I think all those shmucks, those male performers who whine and bitch that 'I can never get a girlfriend because I'm in porn.' No, no, no. You can't get a girlfriend [because you're a loser]. You should be thankful you're in porn. You'd never have a girlfriend anyway.
"I have no problem getting girlfriends and getting what I want in life."
Luke: "How did your family react to your getting into porn?"
Rob: "My old man thought it was great. My mom was like, 'As long as you're making money and being safe.' My cousin (Jack Ryan) was a gay performer for years. He's retired now."
Luke: "Are your parents hippies?"
Rob: "No. I hate to admit this but they're total Republicans."
Luke: "What about all the piercings and tattoos? Why did you get those?"
Rob: "Piercings. I don't know. That was probably a big mistake. Now I've got holes in my face and [the piercings] won't come out. If I take out my lip piercings, and drink beer, the beer will run down my face. I'm f----- on that end so I'm just leaving those in. Tattoos. I've always liked them. I'm a collector. I get tattooed by numerous people. I don't tell them what to do. I just let them do whatever they want.
"It's gotten me so much s--- in the porn business, it's hilarious. I love reading, 'The scene was great but Rob Rottens tattoos were so distracting.' Don't look at me. Look at my dick."
Luke: "You're going to school at night."
Rob: "I'm still in the electrical union. I'm still an apprentice. This is my last semester before I'm considered a 'journeyman.' It's a five-year program. I've kept up my back-up career. It's a fulltime job. Porn is part-time. I know how things can turn on you. One minute you are the hottest thing in the business. The next minute you can't get anyone to talk to you."
Luke: "How did you choose the name Rob Rotten?"
Rob: "I've had the nickname 'Robbie Rotten' since second grade.
"I've been shooting this new girl line Scurvy Girls for Metro. I fly in a lot of girls from around the country. This chick Regan Reese went on a website that was a porn star name generator and it spat out that name."
Rob plugs his forthcoming Metro movies including F--- The System, which comes with a 12-band CD sampler. Then comes Porn of the Dead, "a full-on zombie movie that's been in and out of everyone's office and attorneys. People were too afraid to release it. They finally made a couple of changes. It will be released at the end of March. It's crazy. We went through 12 gallons of fake blood, fake hearts, fake intestines, dicks bitten off, fingers bitten off. All def-metal soundtrack.
"The VCA contract release that was sent around to everyone. I want to make clear that I am not a contract director for Metro or for VCA or for anyone. I'm shooting one movie for VCA. I don't know if that justifies signing a deal."
MySpace: Won't Somebody Please Think Of The Children?
News Corp. plans to appoint a "safety czar" to oversee the site, launch an education campaign that may include letters to schools and public-service announcements to encourage children not to reveal their contact information. It also is considering limiting access to certain groups, such as "swingers," to those over 18; blocking search terms that predators could use to locate kids; and encouraging users between 14 and 16 to make their profiles "private," meaning they can only be viewed by people they already know.
Yet while many teens use MySpace to innocently chat with friends and share music, other MySpace users post sexually explicit photos and list activities such as "swinging" and "spanking" among their interests. The site has so many explicit pictures that Playboy Enterprises Inc. has launched a casting call for a "Girls of MySpace" nude pictorial for an upcoming issue of its magazine.
Sexual-abuse allegations involving MySpace are increasing.
I know one young woman who uses a MySpace profile to promote her pornography operation. She shows numerous sexy pictures of porn stars.
About me: I'm a professional erotic photographer seeking new female models for single girl, girl/girl, and boy/girl scenes. I shoot for Penthouse, Hustler, High Society, Cheri, Club, Gallery, and Fox magazines. Please check out my website, www.hollyrandall.com for more details. And if you message me and tell me I'm pretty, you aren't paying attention because none of these photos are OF me, they are photos I TOOK. If you are curious to know something about me personally, I have another profile that isn't really work-related.
Who I'd like to meet: Pretty girls with no sexual inhibitions, looking for glamourous adult nudes and good pay. And please, you MUST be between the ages of 18 and 30. Thank you!
So I checked out her profile that supposedly wasn't "really work-related" yet it was full of porn. Most of her friends on both profiles were porn people. There's a blog entry entitled: "Jenna Jameson's party and my tits."
Her interests are listed as: "Reading, drinking, porn, snowboarding, photography, cooking, porn, traveling, dogs, porn, beautiful california afternoons, spanking, learning, porn... and oh yeah-- sex!"
By contrast, I know one sober young man who refuses to list any porn friends and instead uses his MySpace profile to promote ethical monotheism to teenage girls. At a time when society is defining deviancy down, this guy is raising moral standards.
On the secular woman's blog, by contrast, there's much petty jockeying to see who will be number one on her friend's list. One woman yowls: "Ok Holly, there's a major fight breaking out here. What makes Brian so special that he deserves ..1? Hm? I am making you my ..1 now which should make you feel bad and don't forget... you better be nice because I am coming over on sunday and I'll bring my weapons."
As for the sober young man, he is immune to this type of jealousy because his sights are set on the eternal verities. "Most of life is froth and bubbles but two things stand like stone -- kindness in another's troubles and courage in your own."
Jane, an office worker in porn, writes:
You weren't kidding. You really don't have porn people here, and you really are encouraging ethical monotheism. But what's unethical monotheism?
I also don't have porn people on my page. My teenaged daughter is on my friend list, as is my boss from my non-porn night job. I believe some of my daughter's friends are on my list, too.
Jenny writes me:
Your MySpace profile is not so wholesome. Who is that skanky 'Miss Belle' chick posing in her bra? If you go to her MySpace profile, there she is posing in a micro mini school girl skirt with the white shirt tied below her breasts. That's not so modest in my opinion.
Someone I went out with once.
Penis Stories For Richard Pacheco's 21yo Daughter
Richard emails his friends (and all those with penises are welcome to submit their answers, Richard tells me):
Dear Penis-Bearing Male Friend of Mine,
My daughter Polly (at age 21, she's about to graduate from USC) is running in another A.I.D.S. fundraising marathon. This one will be in Florence, Italy and she has to come up with over $3,000 to get herself registered. But don't worry...she doesn't want your money (Oh. no, that would be too easy!).
This time (In the great spirit of Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland), she wants to put on a play!! It's to be a play about penises. And we are now asking for your help in this research stage of the production. Attached is a questionaire that we are asking you to fill out about your relationship to your penis. And the punchline is...No, this is not a joke. After sufficient information is collected, we will then be working to convert the precious research results into a script. Once there, we will cast with actors, rehearse, and perform. Of this enterprise, Polly expects to make enough money to cover her fundraising needs and then some. Polly and I guarantee that your anonymity in this matter is assured.
Friends of Howie, allow me to introduce my daughter Polly...
Dear friends of the male sex... I have an interesting request of you. I am collaborating with my father right now on a stage play about penises...sort of the male counterpart to the Vagina Monologues...it is an idea he has been working with for a while, but it needs to be flushed out with the perspectives of other men... We have thought up some questions to gather more stories and info... If you feel up to it (no pun intended) I would love for you to answer as many of the questions as you feel comfortable, and send your responses back to me... Obviously any answers will remain anonymous.... Have fun! Your friend, Polly (Bison96@hotmail.com)
What are your favorite terms for penis? Does your penis have a name? Do your balls have a name? What is the story of your most embarrasing penis-related moment? What is the story of your scariest penis-related moment? What is the story of the first time you masturbated? Recall any stories of inopportune erections? If your penis could talk what would it say right now? Describe a day in the life of your penis, from the point of view of your penis... Recall any moments where your brain was telling you one thing and your penis another? What did you do? Tell the story... If your penis were an animal what would it be? If your penis could pose on the cover of a magazine with one other person...who would that be? If your penis could talk, what would it say right after sex? If you were stranded on a desert island, and your penis could chose three things to bring, what would they be? If your penis had to wear one article of clothing, what would it be? Any other fabulous penis related stories?
Donovan Phillips - The Kabbalistic Gentile Pornographer Opines On Jason Sechrest
I've never heard of him before because I haven't ventured into the gay side of the industry, but from what I briefly read on your site and the few things I read on his blog I'd say he's probably the real deal. Non-judgementalism from Kabbalists is very impressive and real. As you know, I've experienced it myself. And I can see how Jason could infuse his "adult" work with spiritualism in several ways. Perhaps that's why he "recently became the youngest person in history to start his own adult video production company", as was written on your site. I wouldn't doubt it.
As for me: I'm sure you've noticed my formerly-negative, confrontational tone on GFY is gone. That happened after beginning my own studies of Kabbalah. I don't really discuss it much with anyone. When they're ready to hear about it, they'll ask. I'm not at all interested in pushing it on anyone. That's what Christianity does.
Which Porners Are Stringing You Along, Taking Their Sweet Time In Paying You?
Steve Hirsch Is Starting A New Corporation With Bill Asher
One of the key players (not Steve Hirsch) in the new corporation has a cocaine problem and is widely disliked.
I'm told that Steve Hirsch and Bill Asher are backers of Pulse and hope to use Jim Kohls and Mark Hamilton to launch a channel for them down the line (which I don't understand as that market is saturated and is being overtaken by VOD, and to do a VOD channel, Hirsch and company don't need Kohls and company, but what the hell).
Steve, the Carpenters put it best, and I don't mean this in a gay way:
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blueThat is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
The whole thing could be corporate paper shuffling.
I Am Not Your Friend
I am often asked to hold back on stories because it will kill a business deal or cost somebody money.
Many questions of journalistic ethics are difficult for me but this is not one of them. I don't alter my reporting for any concerns about somebody's business or for the welfare of the industry in general. I may hold off on a story because I believe it is too personal and carries no wider good (I don't run a lot of gossip given to me), but I don't hold off on stories because it may cost businessman X-amount of money.
I remember one internet titan accusing me of costing him a million dollars that day because of a damaging report I'd run.
A journalist is not your friend. You may or may not consider me a journalist but one thing is certain -- I am not your friend. I am here to report and to write my column and to follow the story wherever it goes. If I happen to be nice to you or link your website or mention some movie you are in, that's incidental to my search for compelling and important stories.
Within a couple of hours of posting this, I got calls and emails from my friends in the industry wondering if this was a message aimed at them. No, you are my true friends. These other pornographers, they are not my friends.
kevin: I am not your friend.
kevin: i'm hurt luke
kevin: i thought we were best friends
Luke: I'm just using you
kevin: you're more of a pornographer then you think
Luke: You are my good friend. You are like Holly to me but without the
sex.
Hustler Video's Riding The Curves 5
Heidi Pike-Joy writes on AVN's blog:
I was on the set of this Denis Marti-directed production for Hustler recently. Denis is a really cool guy and Gianna Lynn, pictured above, really is quite the hottie. Thumbs up. The DVD comes out in May and I will have a set report of this on AVNInsider soon.
Jason Sechrest's KabbalahCurious.com Interview
Luke: So how do your kabbalah friends feel about your porn stuff?
JasonSechrest: Most of my friends don't bring it up, Kabbalah or not.
It's sort of an after thought to them. I suppose that's why they're my
friends. Anyone who barrages me with questions about the biz has got to
go. lol... I'm like, join my site. All the answers are there.
Luke: What does kabbalah say about how one should conduct oneself sexually?
Luke: The Kabbalists you know don't express to you that they are appalled
you are in porn?
JasonSechrest: Well, Kabbalah was really instrumental in forcing me to
realize that sex with someone is a "connection," whether we'd like to
see it that way or not. I mean, hell, the physical act alone should be
enough to tell you that. And the physical mirrors the spiritual. But men
often disassociate that or ignore that it's a connection of any emotional
or spiritual kind. According to Kabblah though, desire is the core essence
of every human being. Desire is the stuff we are made of. So, there is
no more profound, potent or potentially spiritual conduit for the expression
of our desire than sex.
JasonSechrest: No. Never. The Kabbalah Centre is very accepting of everyone
and does not judge at all. According to Kabbalists, eroticism and arousal
begin in this sort of mystical intersection between our heads, hearts
and souls. Sex seems best when we get completely naked, doesn't it? Not
just taking our clothes off, but making ourselves emotionally naked --
vulnerable. That's always been the most intimate, best sex for me.
Luke: How many men have you had penetrative intercourse with in your life?
How many women? How many children? Animals?
JasonSechrest: I don't think a true Kabbalist could ever be appalled at
anything like that. A true Kabbalist practices tolerance and not being
judgemental. That's one of the most important parts of the faith, recognizing
everyone has their own journey.
JasonSechrest: LOL... I have had sex with a lot of guys. I've lost count.
Way up there. Triple digits. Less women, but over a few dozen for sure.
Luke: Have you had any meaningful discussions about Kabbalah with anyone
in porn? Who?
JasonSechrest: No children and no animals I'm happy to report.
Luke: Are there any special Kabbalistic practices you do to rid yourself
of the porn taint?
JasonSechrest: When I began studying, I was 18 and I met Chloe Vevrier.
She had been studying it for years and we would have these conversations
where I just felt myself going ou of my body almost. She is so wise and
so evolved to the point that you really don't understand what in the hell
she's talking about, but you feel it just the same. It's sort of like
listening to Tori Amos.
JasonSechrest: There is no taint from porn! Why would I want to rid myself
of it? There are negative aspects of the biz, sure, but there are negative
aspects of any business. What I try to do is infuse the spirituality into
my work in pornography.
JasonSechrest: And really, those negative aspects are what we need too.
Without darkness, there'd never be light.
Luke: Did Kabbalah give you the serenity to deal with that other gay gossip
columnist who was dissing you a few months back?
Luke: Did Kabbalah give you the serenity to deal with Adella of Digital
Playground?
JasonSechrest: Wow. I don't remember who that was so I guess so. haha...
Kabbalah gives me a lot of serenity period, just to deal with the chaos
of every day life. It reminds me of what's important. It's understanding
when someone cuts you off in traffic that there's no need to shout at
them or throw negative energy out into the world because you won't even
remember this moment 10 mins. from now, you know? It's retraining your
mind.
JasonSechrest: HAHAHA... unfortunately, I had a confrontation with Adella
on a day (hell, maybe a year) when I was NOT studying Kabbalah frequently
and I let anger get the best of me. We've since made up and it's all good,
but yeh... we've had our moments.
Luke: Are you still enslaved by… the desire to be perfectly amazing at
everything you do?
JasonSechrest: ABSOLUTELY! God, I wish I weren't. I'm less so than I was
that day, I can tell you that for sure. But it's not gone yet. Still working
on that one.
Luke: Are you ready to get married?
JasonSechrest: Soon. I'm in a monogamous relationship now. I fell in love
with my best friend of five years. We grew up one day and looked at each
other and said holy shit, it's been right here all along. I'm very much
in love and I would like to marry him someday, yes.
Luke: OK, great. Thank you for your time.
JasonSechrest: Thanks for your's, Luke! I hope that your readers, including
porn folk, will stop by and post their comments on the blogs at KabbalahCurious.com
-- good or bad. Any questions they might have, comments, I'd love to hear
and reply to.
...SECHREST began studying Kabbalah, the ancient wisdom born of Jewish mysticism, during the same month he began working in porn, something he sees as a sign to combine the two. "I was 18 when I started studying it and I'm 26 now, so it's not like I've bought into some fad. This is something I've really put a lot of my time and energy into over the years and I have found it to work for me," says SECHREST. "That doesn't mean it is supposed to work for everyone, but I'd like to give people who are interested in it or 'curious' about it, the opportunity to learn more and witness how you can use it in even the most seemingly spiritually barren aspects of your life. I don't just talk about how spirituality relates to my life in porn. I talk about how it relates to my acting career, my love life, my family, everything. Since people seem so interested in what I have to say, I feel the need to make sure what I say can make a difference, not just provide an outlet for people sexually. Not that there's anything wrong with that! That's important too. But if you can give something more at the same time, why not give more?"
SECHREST, who recently became the youngest person in history to start his own adult video production company, DV8 Entertainment, sees similarities between what he's doing as a pornographer and what he's doing at KabbalahCurious.com. "It's revealing the concealed, isn't it?" he ponders. "That has been a constant thread in my life since I was very young and I'm starting to realize it's part of why I was put here. I like breaking the illusion, whittling away at something until I get it naked or get to its truth. I do that at JasonCurious.com. I present who these porn stars are beyond their being objectified. I give a profile of who they are as a person and not the illusion of what you see on screen. And I do that as a pornographer for my own video company too; anytime I shoot someone taking off their clothes, I'm revealing the concealed, aren't I? And now I'm taking it a step further in exploring the illusion that is our physical world. But there's a tie that binds them all and I think that's fascinating."
SECHREST says he's prepared for detractors and has grown accustomed to suffering the slings and arrows that the business has sometimes aimed in his direction. "They told me JasonCurious.com would fail because it was combining the straight porn world with the gay porn world and they'll tell me that combining the spiritual with the sexual will flop as well," he shrugs. "So what? So I'm trying to become a better person and share some enlightenment with anyone who might need it. Let the world beware!" He says his hope is that porn stars and directors will visit KabbalahCurious.com and comment on his blog entries, good or bad, to post questions, opinions and their own personal experiences with spirituality.
If you know anything about tweaking tours to maximize conversions, please drop me an Email with a critique of the new Suze.net look.
It's designed by an ex of Holly's (as long as she employs no more than four ex-boyfriends at a time it doesn't bother me because that's the sort of self-confident guy I am) who worked for Danni.com. Thankfully, he's nixed plans to put up nude photos of Holly. That horrified me. They're going for a more corporate image of Holly Randall, future CEO of suze.net.
Good luck pulling that off, guys. Perhaps you could take guidance from Taylor Rain's presentation on lukeford.com -- "Make bongs, not war."
Holly has her big photo shoot with Beatrice this weekend. She'll dress in some 1940s outfits and try to look strong and professional though sexy.
Miss Randall may be a mascot on future Suze.net tours.
I mentioned to Holly the other day that a porn star friend of her's was a heavy pot smoker.
"That's why we bonded," Holly replied before sucking on her pipe, blowing out a plume of toxic smoke and coughing.
(Whenever Holly excuses herself for five minutes, my ears perk up and listen for that telltale sign of coughing.)
I tried to get my mind around how a smart woman like Holly would bond with someone over pot smoking.
Then I gave up, accepted reality, and went to sleep.
1 am. "Is it too late to order pizza?" Holly asked.
Pot gave her a mean appetite.
"Yes," I said.
I was unaware that Holly's already knew her that most LA pizza shops stayed open until 2 am.
"If you got pregnant," I asked, "could you give up drinking and smoking pot?"
"Hell yes," she said. "A drink compared to my baby's welfare? It's no question."
Suze and Humphry have let their eldest know that it is time for her to pump out some babies (and it would go over better with the relatives in South African if she didn't burn them in the oven).
HollyRandall: i have blisters from that hike you took me on last night
[Holly says all sexy shoes hurt. I say, what is her pain compared to my
saving on parking?]
HollyRandall: Hey, how can you possibly compare me to Taylor Rain? So
not fair. Luke: I didn't mean to diss Taylor.
Luke: i only saw one pic of you on the tour
Luke: are you able to keep up with the flood of conversions?
HollyRandall: yeah there was only going to be one of me on the front page
and the join page
HollyRandall: but i think we're keeping the current join page picture
HollyRandall: you want to see pictures of our hot models on the tour,
not pictures of me!
HollyRandall: i'm just there to make the site seem a little more personal--
which it really is, because i'm very involved in it and i interact with
the members all the time
HollyRandall: in fact, it was at their request that we started the slide
show option
HollyRandall: and i listen to their idea for concept, favorite models,
and even get new ones from them
Luke: yes, they seem very insistent on spread shots
HollyRandall: the only thing i really don't like about the tour and we
all discussed this for days, is the fact that we have to cover up all
explicit shots with that ugly "members only" tag
HollyRandall: well we're trying to show that we have hardcore, not just
the pretty girl centerfolds that my mom is known for
Luke: you have to do that to protect the children
Luke: would you like your kids going on there looking at hardcore pics?
Luke: "Son, could you pass your old mother her bong, please? And
the potatoes."
HollyRandall: you and your bong thing
HollyRandall: i don't even have a bong!
Luke: what's that green thing?
HollyRandall: a pipe, silly
HollyRandall: you must be in a good mood, you're making more fun of me
than usual
HollyRandall: you're like my dad, when you're in a good mood you like
to tease
Luke: yes, otherwise I'm surly and withdrawn
Luke: how did your dinner digest?
Luke: what did it taste like?
HollyRandall: very kosher
Luke: Did you have to dress up in a business suit for your big meeting
this morning?
HollyRandall: i've just never seen so many yarmulkes in my life
HollyRandall: yes me and my business suits
HollyRandall: wear 'em all the time
HollyRandall: a girl who used to work for us like to dress up, so when
she started she'd come to the ranch wearing heels, a nice wool dress
HollyRandall: eventually she gave up and started wearing flip flops and
jeans like everyone else
Luke: Then you fired her.
HollyRandall: lol, no she left for Australia actually
Luke: i was too sleepy last night to photograph you with my book The Consolation
of Philosophy
HollyRandall: you already have enough to blackmail me with
Luke: but you should have this on hand to shoot with all the models
HollyRandall: actually, you know what? i don't think you could blackmail
me

Luke: I've looked at your new suze.net tour and I want you to know that
I believe in you.
HollyRandall: oh jeez
HollyRandall: we're changing a couple of things
HollyRandall: you can see a little too much in some of the pics so we're
going to cover that up
HollyRandall: we want to show the bj pics but it's pretty much impossible

aren't all that visually appealing, but what'ca gonna do?
Luke: use pics of that book (The Consolation of Philosophy) instead
HollyRandall: so

Luke: hollyrandall.com is a monster to navigate
Amalek writes me: "Why don't you write about Holly's secret love
affair with the 375 pound Chaim Amalek? How she mounted him, separated
the many folds of fat encircling his belly, fished out his willy and tried
to stiffen his resolve. Then she flashed a roll of twenty dollar bills
in my face, and I got all excited. I'll bet she has yet to tell you of
that evening. It's time you learned."

Fast Eddie comments on his FunWithPSEs Yahoo group: "I guess this answers any questions about her availability."
Whose house is your favorite porn set?
The thing about LA.... a lot of people live on credit out here. Expensive houses, but no money to put into nice furniture, and their mortgage... well, certainly helps if some version of rental fees can cover that. I have no idea on the exact situation with everyone. But, in general... sure, the money covers their mortgage and they thus get to live in a large house with a pool. yeah, there are those who get turned on by having people f--- in their house. And there are maybe a few who like the bragging rights of saying they had a porn star f--- on their stairs... though, I would imagine that one wears-off pretty quickly. At the end of the day... money, money, moooonneeey.
I would hate to be their guest for the evening... come over in a nice silk dress and have to wonder where to sit.
I've grown so tired of all these same old houses. They've all been shot out a million times. Maybe it's because I'm a chick, but, for me a location is like a girl... once you've f--ked her, you're over it, unless she's really special and then you sort of discover new ways to shoot her for as long as you can keep the magic alive.
Holly Randall posts on XPT: "Yeah I found her sh---talking about Lisa Ann really annoying. I love Lisa, she's been such a help at LA Direct and she's really organized. She's my go-to person there, and it's nice to have a good woman with experience in the business to be working in an adult agency. I tell all new girls who want to join LA Direct to talk directly to Lisa. And honestly, Lisa Ann still looks amazing, but I'm pretty sure we'd never book Dakota."
In the "Faces of Meth" thread, Holly posts:
I didn't like PSK, I felt very uncomfortable there. The only highlight was meeting Hailey, who is so damn cute I don't know why I didn't have her come in before. Don't forget Hailey-- you're supposed to come see me in the studio!
A lot of girls fall through the cracks-- we're just so oversaturated with new hot chicas. There are many girls out there who I want to shoot but will never get the chance to...
Smiling Arab posts: "Holly doesn't talk about her past much but she ran with a pretty wild crew in her unbridled youth, hitting up drugstores up and down the Pacific Northwest. She won't go into details but she's been known to scream at models who throw hats on the bed, I don't know why."
Holly tells me she's never censored a post from the Suze.net forums.
Brian from TylersTalent.com emails: "She is stunning in person. As mentioned just got back from more than a year fighting for our country Iraq with the Army. Open to everything including Anal."
Michelle and Nautica Thorn?
John writes: "I have read on Nautica Thorn's web site blog that she might be dating Michelle, the X wife of BisexualBritni? Is this true? Is this the same Michelle that also known as "Pepper" and is the office manager for Pink Kitty Productions?"
Nate writes: "I didn't even know that Michelle was no longer with BisexualBritni or Dennis. I guess that blows the polyamory theory out of the water. It's hard enough to make marriage between two people work, let alone three."
Lanny Barby & Gay Porn Star In National Ad
Romeo writes:
All the press has been centered around the gay porn star in the story, Luca DiCorso of Chi Chi LaRue's rascal video. He, and Vivid girl Lanny Barby (I believe), both star in a new ad campaign for Tom Ford sunglasses. Ford, was formerly the creative director of Gucci & Yves Saint Laurent, and made it what it is today. While the stories doesn't mention Lanny, look at the girl's tattoo on her left arm. it easily matches Barby's which you can see on her website.... I wonder why the Vivid PR machine hasnt started the press releases.
