Alana Evans's Creepy Story: 'I Could've Been Killed Today'

Alana calls me back. "I got booked on a shoot through Gold Star Models. The person in the hotel room didn't exist. He used reputable male talent's name -- Scott Lyons name. He uses Scott's name and booking girls for shoots and getting them to hotels. The room number doesn't exist. The girls are left waiting in the lobby. I guess this guy is sitting there getting off on watching us totally frazzled, not knowing what is going on. I booked this through my agency."

Luke: "What did your agent say?"

Alana: "They were a little surprised."

Alana calls me back at 7:33 p.m. "AVN has put a story up but they are so PC, they haven't put all the information on there. I know you will.

"Gold Star booked me a couple of days ago to do a shoot with Donnie Long and Scott Lyons. Because I recognized the male talent, I didn't call them.

"They booked me to do a scene at the Universal Hilton. I don't like working at a hotel but sometimes that's what you have to do.

"After waiting 15 minutes, my husband Chris Evans calls Scott, who told him that there was a guy in the business using his name to book girls. The shoots never came to fruition. The guy would send the girls to locations, giving them hotel numbers that didn't exist.

"This guy is calling the agencies, booking through the agencies, and he gets a kick out of watching women wait, frazzled, in public places. My fear is that he is not going to get off on that for much longer. He's going to go to the next step. That's why everybody needs to know.

"One day a girl is going to show up and she's going to get attacked."

Luke: "Joel Lawrence isn't calling me back."

Alana: "They realize they screwed up. I could've been killed today."

LFP And I Don't Get On?

I was asking a pornographer for an interview and he replied: "LOL! Oh I don't know man, seems that you and LFP don't seem to like each other and I want to stay on everybody's good side."

'I Love It'

Jim South Jr posts: "When I get a phone call from someone wanting to do nude modeling and they are having trouble breathing while they are sitting down, talking on the phone."

James DiGiorgio Interview

The 56 yo calls me back Wednesday evening.

Jimmy: "[Porn] doesn't feel like family any more. There's a different breed of people in it."

Jimmy says his age has nothing to do with his attitude about porn. "I hardly hang out with anybody my own age. I stay up with pop culture.

"I feel 22.

"The talent are even more mercenary than ten years ago. You used to be able to get them to sneeze without paying them an extra $50.

"Everything that goes on on a set is potentially content. They feel that from the moment they set foot on set, the scene has begun."

Luke: "Where do you find meaning in your work?"

Jimmy: "That I get paid to hold a camera in my hands, that has meaning to me. It almost doesn't matter what it's pointed at."

I read Jimmy the section in the book The Dirty Little Secret: Uncovering the Truth Behind Porn where Ariana Jollee wonders what her life would've been like if she had never done porn.

Jimmy: "Couldn't an insurance broker ask himself the same question? Don't we all question the choices we make in life?

"In writing the book, Craig [Gross] obviously has a point of view and a bias just as you do and AVN does... If someone from AVN had a problem with Craig having a bias, I'd say, 'Nigger please!' Do you guys report on Adult industry without bias? Of course not. You're pro-industry, as you should be.

"Did Craig manipulate things I said to suit the point of view of the book? Absolutely. Do I care? No.

"I don't recall writing a confessional email to them. If something disgusts me, it disgusts me. I've shot about 2,500 scenes. I've seen things I wish I could purge from my brain. That doesn't make me anti-porn.

"If you go to war, and even if you believe in the war, don't you think you are going to see things in that war that you wished you didn't see?

"I like Mike and Craig as people. They've never been judgmental with me. Some pornographers are extremely judgmental.

"Why do people have a hard-on for the Christian thing?

"I don't see anybody getting a hard-on for Jews?"

Luke: "Because the industry is controlled by Jews [and not Christians]."

Jimmy: "Thank you very much.

"'Christians suck but Jews are OK because I make my living off of Jews.'

"If you are anti-those religions, be straight-up. I think those religions are fairy tales."

Luke: "You've taken a lot of shots at [AVN Editor] Mike Ramone."

Jimmy: "I don't know him. We've taken shots at each other. But we've put it behind us.

"Now I've met him a few times... I read some things he wrote and found out we agree on a bunch of things. He's more pro-active in his anti-religious sentiments.

"I'm your friend yet we have wildly different beliefs, but our friendship doesn't have much to do with those beliefs.

"Craig and Mike conducted my daughter's wedding [last September]. It was done on a beach. My daughter is not religious. She said to the pastors, 'I respect that you guys are Christian pastors and you need to put some of that in the ceremony, but I'd like the ceremony to be as secular as possible.' They respected that.

"If you were at the wedding, you would've wondered if it was a Christian wedding or a secular wedding."

Luke: "What advice did you give your daughter about marriage?"

Jimmy: "None. My daughter was witness to my marriage with her mother and figured out early on that anything her parents had to say to her about marriage didn't hold water. All I want for my daughter is that she be happy.

"My daughter and her husband have known each other since they were eight.

"I tell everybody that women will breed with me but they won't stay with me. I have a ten year old son. I want him to become a great parent. That's the test of a man, not 'How many girls did you f---?'

"Since I split up with my ex-wife, she got her bachelors degree, got two masters degrees and gets her doctorate this year in Psychology."

Luke: "She's really made something of her life."

Jimmy: "Good for her. I paid for it.

"Before I worked in porn, I was working for a Fortune 200 company making industrial videos. It was 1989. I lost my house. I lost my marriage."

Luke: "Was that related?"

Jimmy: "It had something to do with it.

"Porn has been OK to me. It provided for me and my children."

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

Jimmy: "A baseball player. I was a [New Jersey] all-star [in highschool]."

Luke: "What similarities in feedback have you received over your life?"

Jimmy (the eldest child): "This whole rebellion thing. Bill Day was explaining me to somebody else while I was standing there. He said, 'Jimmy has such a rebellious spirit, he even rebels against the porn industry.'

"When porn became my status quo, that's when I had to rebel against it. That's pathetic.

"My son's mother asked my father, 'What was Jimmy like when he was young?' My father shook his head and said, 'Bad, really bad.' That's all he said.

"I have authority issues. I've had shrinks say this since I've been in grammar school."

Jimmys says that a rare media outlet that portrayed his story with the pastors without bias was CBN's (Christian Broadcasting Network) 700 Club. "They let me have my say. It didn't agree with them. They said that as far as Craig and Mike having an impact on me, they were a failure.

"...Mr. Cover of LA Weekly. You come tell me when you make People magazine. Then I'll be impressed. Rob and I, our pictures were in LA Weekly."

It turns out to be the cover story on me in New Times LA in January 1999.

Jimmy: "Of course your memory is better because it was about you.

"Oh man, I'm living in your shadow. I don't have a problem with that."

Luke: "Who did you get more flack for befriending? Me or the porn pastors?"

Jimmy: "Without a doubt, the porn pastors. I was amazed at the amount of flack."

We talk about talent.

Jimmy: "These girls are loyal to the green. And they should be. Why else do this? Why else should you get in front of a camera and show your insides to the world?

"I wouldn't want to rep a girl who does this because she likes sex. Tell me you love money because if you're greedy there's a better chance you will show up and do what you are supposed to do.

"There are millions of people who love sex and they're not in porn.

"...Porn may f--- up thousands of people but religion f---- up millions."

Luke: "When are you going to face up to your addiction to dope?"

Jimmy: "I don't consider myself a pot smoking addict. I'll go a week without smoking pot. I went 15 years without smoking pot when I had a wife and a child and a mortgage and I was seeing the American dream."

Luke: "Why do you need that crutch?"

Jimmy: "I use it for medicinal purposes. I'm getting older. I have a lot of little pains, arthritis in my knees.

"I've been smoking pot since I was 17."

Luke: "How are your battles with your weight?"

Jimmy, who's 5'10 and weighs 265: "Up and down. A lot of the weight is around my gut and I think it affects my health adversely. I'd like to do something about it but I'm lazy. I have a treadmill that I stare at every day. I hope it will eventually guilt-trip into getting on the thing. I have high blood pressure. I've been dealing with that for a long time."

He'd like to weigh 205 pounds. At one point, he weighed 310.

Kevin Blatt Feels Exploited By American Cannibal

I call the internet consultant in New York Thursday evening.

KB: "I'm supposed to get interviewed by The New York Times tomorrow.

"So far so good. Sold-out audiences. They seem to really like it.

"I don't see what the fuss is about. The movie is lengthy.

"We made cinema history."

Luke: "How so?"

KB: "They caught the party where I met my girl (Abby Page) and she got naked and a tampon string popped out. The whole movie theater gasped.

"Katie and I snuck into a screening yesterday just before the lights went down. Nobody recognized me.

"I've done more walking here than in my whole life. I just had an Orthodox Jewish cab driver.

"I went to the World Trade Center site this morning. Until you see it, you don't realize what happened. It's the saddest thing. Wow, it's all gone. When I walked away, I was sick to my stomach."

KB complains: "They really wanted to sell this film on my name."

Luke: "Do you feel used?"

KB: "Yeah. That was the one thing my girlfriend was yelling to me about all day. They were passing out buttons at the movie. I got one left on the floor. It read, 'Accidental Pornographer.' The other one said, 'Are you a pimp or are you a ho?' Those are two phrases that were out of my mouth."

Luke: "What was your girlfriend yelling about?"

KB: "That they were making their money off my publicity and fame."

I laugh.

KB: "That's the hardest laugh I've heard from you."

Holly Randall's Big Ass

"I'm all good," she tells me after her doctor's appointment.

"What did he say about your big ass?" I ask.

She replies: "We didn't talk about you, dear."

Holly writes me for real: "Funny! Wish I was clever enough to actually have come up with that!"

My Former Roommate Found God, I Found Porn

On a Friday night in March 1995, I met Leonarto Aug-st aka Shimon S-adi at the Westwood Chabad. He was an Israeli movie director who made his living selling electronics. I lived with him until May 31, 1996.

He often told people he was from Italy, thus the fake name Leonarto August.

Shimon (1994-95) said he sensed something sweet about my aura. I was living out of my car at the time. He invited me to move in with him in exchange for helping him twenty hours a week with a screenplay.

Shimon (1994-95) in LA Shimon Shimon Shimon Shimon

I was amazed by Shimon's success with women. They flocked to him. I heard he had a prodigious endowment.

A couple of times I got Shimon's leftovers, for which I'm eternally grateful because these ladies were hot.

We'd go to Jewish singles events and I'd get nothing and he'd get blown in the parking lot.

I've never been blown in a parking lot.

Read on for the full story and to see naked pictures of big-breasted Israeli women.

Whatever Happened To Sin City Contract Star Nikki Lynn?

From Phoenix New Times 7/30/98:

Nikki Lynn was born Tammy Hallen in Torrance, California, 24 years ago, the eldest of five children. She moved to Phoenix when she was 12. Her first high school was Independence, but she soon transferred to Glendale High, where she became captain of the cheerleading squad.

...Tammy dropped out of school in her junior year and got her GED. In late '91, while visiting Kingman with her erstwhile boyfriend, Tammy met her soon-to-be-husband, an affable truck driver named Richard Schaffner, who was living in Kingman with his 7-year-old son, Ricky--a boy who had been in a tragic car accident that claimed the life of his mother.

...In late '92, while vacationing in Tucson with Richard's relatives, Tammy started working at a topless club called TD's West for some "extra Christmas cash." She had never stripped before, but on her first day she took home $350. The money was too good to pass on, so Tammy remained in Tucson while Richard continued working and maintaining their Kingman home.

...In January '97, Tammy went to porn's biggest event, the Consumer Electronics Show and Adult Video News Awards (the Oscars of porn) in Las Vegas, dolled up in full adult-star regalia. There, she nabbed attention away from some of the biggest names in porn who were there signing autographs.

...Nikki starred in her first adult video just two weeks after the CES convention, and since has graced glossy covers of hard-core porn videos released through some of the biggest production companies in adult video, such as VCA, Sin City and Wicked. (Titles include Lapdance, Spinners, Hot Seat, Babewatch 7.)

...She has also appeared in more than 100 adult magazines, including Cheri, Oui, Hustler, Penthouse (three times this year), Swank, Club and High Society.

..."We love Kingman," says Nikki. "It is a great place to raise children."

...Nikki introduces their son Brandon. He comes in wet from jumping through the sprinkler. Brandon is a beautiful 4-year-old with big blue eyes and a blond Ringo bowl cut. He's always laughing. He farts and it just kills him. And like his mother, he's a ham in front of the camera. He mugs up to it and gives it a big world-revolving grin. Then he turns to his mother and tells her he loves her. She squeezes him tightly and tells him how much she loves him back. It's a tender moment.

Says a porn source: "This a tragic story. One day about two years ago, she up and left her husband and her son Brandon and his son Ricky from another marriage. She left without providing any means to contact her. When her husband tried to contact her, when he heard she was working at a strip club, she wouldn't return phone calls to him or her son.

"Brandon became sick. He tried to contact her. She needed to come home to be there for him. She wouldn't take anybody's calls. It turns out the son had stomach cancer. The son died a month later. She never saw her son from the day she left till the day he died. She didn't come to his funeral.

"Brandon was twelve years old."

Luke: "You thought she was one of the great girls of the industry?"

Source: "I did. And so did her husband. Her husband sat there crying with me. He said she turned into a person he never knew existed."

Richard's first wife died.

"One day Brandon had told his father he had an upset stomach. Richard took him to a doctor. They found out he had cancer."

Luke: "Can a woman do porn and not be mentally ill?"

Source: "No. There's no doubt in my mind that it f---- people up."

Tera Patrick's Talent Agency

A source writes: "You might want to look into Tera Patrick’s agency – most of the models have left or arent currently available. For someone who made such a big deal about its launch, it seems to have quickly gone downhill."

'If he's not into me, he must be gay'

Chaim writes: "Women are always saying stuff like that. Just because she discovered semen leaking out of his crack one night does not mean that he is gay."

Xaviera Hollander Update

The author of The Happy Hooker and former Penthouse columnist now "runs a groovy bed and breakfast in Amsterdam," says painter Denise LaFrance. "Xaviera says her name is pronounced:"Zah-viera" (like "Riviera"), not "EX-ay-vee-air"."

Is There Too Much Porn?

Croy writes on ADT: "Since Leisure Time is still around, the market is saying that it will take porn any way it can get it."

Torn Between Two Cultures

Holly Randall blogs:

Anyone who has parents as immigrants or who are immigrants themselves will understand when I say that as a child of British and South African parents raised in the United States, I've always felt a bit torn between the cultures. Due to the household I was brought up in, there are certain things about America I find ridiculous, but I also acknowledge the shortcomings of the English. All in all when a friend sent me this post, I almost fell out of my chair laughing-- especially since I pronounce aluminium in the British manner, and I'm always teased about it. I've been told John Cleese wrote this, but I'm not sure... though it most certainly sounds like him!

Sky Lopez Finds God

She blogs April 19:

I have had a dramatic change of life-style. I am finding myself doing more and more soul searching and self evaluation. For those who do not know I am in the beginning stages of writing a book about my real life, and my many struggles. The what's and why's, and how I simply became to be SKY LOPEZ. Also the person who I really am, that the public does not get to see or know. I am looking forward to sharing my story of survival and revival with you.

Also, many of you have asked me where my Album is, when will it be done and what it is about? Just so you know, this project is still in the works. I was halfway through when I couldn't sleep one night and didn't know why, but very upset inside. I woke up and listened to my songs and realized, yes they sound great and could go strait to radio, but they were not coming directly from my soul! And I don't want to give you anything else but that! So to answer your questions, I am also reevaluating my Music and it will be delivered to you in a manner in which I want the World to hear it.

She writes on her MySpace profile:

Hello everyone, Some of you may know me as Sky Lopez, but in fact we all Know that is not my biological name. Actually that is a BIG personal topic right now; whether I should go by my real name or Sky in my future Ventures.... Let Me know what you think! This topic Needs Prayer. But you may always, always, call me Springbreak! You may know me from Many Industries. Playboy Magazine, Penthouse, Club, XXL (Yep!), Revolver, Playboy TV, E-Channel, VH1 Etc., Etc., and many other places. I was at one time in the Adult Industry. Praise Jesus, a wake up call from God Almighty and alot of Soul Searching later I realized that I should get my act together, cuz there is a better road, a better way, and another life for me. So Yes, now, everyday is a struggle and I do know the word TEST in TESTimony so very well. Those of you who make negative comments to me about this and that, Listen Up! Christians are NOT Perfect, Just Forgiven. What are you doing to better yourself today? What are YOU doing to better those Lives around you? It's a hard road, but the only one to take. Because Jesus, is the Real Spring Break! My love and Prayers to All of you and if you think of anything we can do to make the world a better place then let me know, I have alot of people who have my back on this.... One Reason, One Life, One God. Some of You are Asking, "S-K-Y, HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?" Well....... To sum it up! My life was just gettin crazier! My stomach aches got worse. I started Praying, Had dreams for six strait months where I was getting saved then I was the one preaching..... I just got up and left EVERYTHIING! Moved into a Ministry home for six months. Got Right! And Got Jesus! Now..... I gotta Plan!

Who I'd like to meet:

Jesus one day, but till then, I Need help Spreading the Word...... You see Jesus is Real! And if you would like to know that then pray to him. Read my first Blog... It's kinda like that santa song, "He see's you when your sleeping, knows when you awake, knows if you've been bad or good, etc.... Sing that whole song in your head but think Jesus. It is a batlle between Flesh and Spirit, and you have to feed your Spirit. By getting in the word, Prayer, or/and fellowship (bible study) in order to fight off the Devil and his Ways.... And his way only leads to distruction and hard ship! GOD offers forgiveness, Peace, Love and Eternity! There is Nothing better here on this Earth than the Holy Spirit! If you too want this, Just Pray and ask Jesus to come into your heart and to be your light, to guide your path and lead your Way. To Cast all that is from Satin and for you to be filled with the Holy Spirit! I wish you the Best of ALL GOD Really has JUST for YOU!!!

Sky Lopez blogs April 20:

If I could show you how to make a fortune off the internet by working from home and giving yourself the time freedom you have always desired, would you want to know about? Its a legal, ethical, and moral way!

I'm working with people that are making a six figure a month residual income and they are willing to teach anyone to duplicate what they have already accomplished.

Ariana Jollee

The Dirty Little Secret: Uncovering the Truth Behind Porn:

She mostly preferred to stay inside and read or watch TV, but today she'd earn her paycheck, making what most people make in weeks or even months. As a child, Ariana excelled as a gymnast but gave it up for her current job. Her parents still accepted and supported her, making her a rarity in her profession.

No, Ariana had chosen to be in this profession of her own will, but sometimes she wondered what her life would have been like if she had chosen a different path. Would she have more friends, be able to sustain normal relationships? Enjoy leaving her house more. She had lost her passion to live life. The fact that she owned the mind of a fifty-year-old man made it hard to have friends her own age.

Ariana had a boyfriend, an older guy in his early thirties. He was an adult film actor too, but they didn't have sex. The relationships was mentally monogamous, but they had sex with many other people. Lately he had been getting on her nerves though. He was too negative, too jaded. He had been in the business too long. ...She didn't even want sex anymore. It was rare when she had sex off the job...

...Ariana lay on the bed in a fetal position with her thumb in her mouth.

Mary Carey For California Assembly?

Mark Kernes writes for AVN:

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - She started out the day planning to run for governor of the state, but by the time her flight was about to leave at the end of the Free Speech Coalition's annual lobbying day in the capitol, Mary Carey had a new plan: Run for the California Assembly as the representative from Beverly Hills, Westwood, West Hollywood and West L.A.

Did Jim South Jr Become Captain Saveahoe?

Rod Fontana posts April 19 on PornStarPerformance:

This is the first time I have posted something on this site. Normally I'm very easy going and will generally take whatever is dished out by inconsiderate and unprofessional talent I guess because I've had the good fortune not to be 'burned' too many times over the years and if I do, which is pretty rare I just shrug it off. But yesterday's shennanigan by Samantha South from World Modeling damn near gave me a stroke.

I had spoken last week to junior and got a tentative on her for a d/p this week. Conferenced her on Mon.with senior to go over all the info. For the shoot yesterday her call time for makeup was 8:30am and bear in mind this was at a Hollywood location that charges by the hour and overage. I had a makeup artist, the pm, the still guy, the videographer, the pa, the press the male talent etc. there. Some people had travelled from as far away as San Diego and Orange County.

Well, at 9:30 no show.10:00 no show. By now, I got Jim on the phone, who informs me that she just woke up and called him (not me) to tell him that she was not going to do the scene because she was'sore' I suppose from yesterday.

Again I conferenced with her and practically begged her to come on as we were stuck with all there. She agreed, said she would be there shortly.

At 11:15, over an hour later still no show. I called and got voice mail. Usually not good. Called again 5 min. later and got her. She said she was on the freeway and traffic was bad; though she could not tell me where on the road she was and could not identify a road sign!

I asked her right then are you sure you are coming...Yes...You promise..Yes...you swear...Yes. O.K. at 12:30 Jim calls me and says she just called him again and said she was not coming because in her haste she got a speeding ticket and was traumatized and returning to Woodland Hills.

I had to shut down,pack up and pay hundreds of dollars in 'kill' fees. Not to mention all the aggravation and embarassment that went with it. I told Jim he should fire her for this crap and well you probably know that won't happen. In fact she's booked every day for the rest of this week. So, beware of this girl. Book her and she's liable to mess you up also.

Jim South Jr posts April 20:

Yes Samantha [South] screwed up Rod's shooting. We do feel horrible about the whole situation and tried to rectify it. We know Rod is extremely disappointed and we apologize. We are not going to fire someone who has shown up for 19 out of the 20 shootings we have booked her. She has received praises about her scenes and punctuality from just about everyone who has shot her. We did everything we could to get her there. Now I see a post on her which is fine. That is what this site is for, but calling the director who has her booked next and trying to black flag her is BS. I don't have exact dates but I'm sure something happened at one point (for whatever reason) where Rod couldn't make a shoot. Is that grounds for never working again?

Jim South Jr posts April 20:

We should be charging a hell of a lot more than $100 if there is a chance we are going to have to dish out thousands of dollars if something doesn't work out. I suppose if the model shows up on time, does a rockin scene and you sell double the normal amount of pieces, you'll kick the agent and girl down more money, right?

Bobby Rinaldi of Wildlife posts April 20:

I was more than a little concerned about having booked Samantha after hearing about rod's shoot. But I must say that yesterday she showed up on time, was very pleasant, and did a great anal scene with Alex Sanders for me.

Ben Herover writes April 21 on PornStarPerformance:

Jim, I'm not sure why you decided to put a bright red cape on and become Capt. Saveahoe today but let me clue you in on something. If a mainstream hollywood agent books an actor for a project and the actor doesnt show up then the agent and the agency are held responsible. Creative Artists Agency holds alot of power in Hollywood, if their talent was worthless(i.e. doesnt show up to do the job) why on earth would any studio book from them again? Are you gonna give me some lame excuse about "well they have the girls". This is complete crock of ---- in 2006 when most girls can be found on the many modeling websites. I cant even count how many girls I first saw on OneModelPlace and are now on LA Direct Models. Again back in 1990 before the internet become big World Modeling was important because it was well known and had ads and tons of newspapers and if you wanted to meet girls that did porn you HAD to goto World. Those days are long long gone. If Derek, Dick Nasty, and others didnt cruise sexyjobs,onemodelplace and adultstaffing promising girls they can make $10,000 per week there would be no need for any kind of agent much less an agent who does NOTHING except answer the phone.

Low bow to Junior? Hell no, its called a reality check and good advice. Here some good advice to you . . you arent Capt. Saveahoe. Let Junior fight his own battles. This message board is about flakey models which by association means flakey agents. World Modeling needs to EARN their money by doing what REAL agencies do. Actively promoting the models and making sure the producers are happy. From what I understand Rod isnt happy. World Modeling needs to ATTEMPT to keep their paying customers happy.

Derek Hay of LADirectModels.com posts April 22:

I am not interested in seeing posts that are derogatory to World Modeling or Jim South. For those who post these please do not think this serves any positive purpose whatsoever in assisting us to make the industry an easier place for producers / directors. We all in the agency business have a lot to thank Jim for in paving the way for many who came later and I for one give him much respect.

Rod Fontana posts April 24:

When I made my posting, it was the first time I had used this site to do so. Now after seeing all the commotion it caused and seeing so many people 'run' to this girls defense of her performances albeit in their 'moment', I'm kind of sorry I did. I never said she was a bad performer. I actually had performed with her several weeks earlier and she did a good job then. My beef was the callous disregard she exhibited that day in question and I suppose the cavalier attitude that the Souths in general displayed and no Junior, in 30 years of performance I have never 'flaked'on an assignment. I have flat out turned jobs down, but never flaked. The watershed effect of performers doing to me what Samantha did was and is to adversely affect everyone else involved from fellow talent to crew without a single thought for their distress. Again I thought this site was intended to advise others when something like this happened so as to inform rather than admonish. But I guess not, so I'll be sure to think two or three times before posting again.

Dakota: "You want me to open up and let you in?"

Luke: "Only if it will help. I just want to serve. I make housecalls."

Dakota: "Are you becoming a hooker?"

Luke: "I'm trying to make some extra money on the side. I offer full-service massage."

Dakota: "The ones with happy endings?"

Luke: "Yeah."

Dakota: "How much?"

Luke: "Fifty dollars."

Dakota: "I'll take one."

Luke: "I'll pop over this evening."

Dakota: "I'm going to the gym. I'll talk to you later."

Whatever Happened To The Fiver Porners Diagnosed With HIV Two Years Ago?

Darren James, Miss Arroyo, Lara Roxx, Jessica Dee, Jennifer. Anyone know them? What's going on with them? Contact info for them? How are they living with HIV?

Jane writes: "I heard that Darren James was working at a porn warehouse doing editing. Lara Roxx is back in her native Canada where a few months ago, she was in the headlines for not telling her current boyfriend about her HIV status. Jessica Dee is reportedly with Shane Diesel, the guy who plays Blackzilla in porno movies."

How Much Of That Stage Fight Between Lauren Phoenix And Stormy Daniels At The XRCO Awards Was Real?

They were verbally sniping at each other. Much of it seemed rehearsed, but maybe some of it was real.

"You don't want to get in a war of words with Stormy," says a porner. "She's sharp. She'll slice you up."

Tara writes: "The 'fight' between Stormy and Lauren was not real and was in fact scripted! Duh."

A porner writes:

I thought it was real. Mind you the banter between the two of them onstage about who was a bigger star might have scripted/improvised, but it may have struck a nerve. When I saw the two of then go at it in the back, I pointed it out to someone who said " oh it's fake". But then the backstage door closed and stayed that way for awhile. Hmmm I thought maybe it was real. But them Max Hardcore started molesting Ashley Blue in front of me and totally threw off my train of thought.

Lauren can be a crazy chick. She lives with some pimp. She has an exuberant personality.

I heard that Lauren was fired by LADirectModels.com.

Derek Hay replies to my inquiry, "Did you fire Lauren Phoenix?":

No, she left, twice actually. First time because she was upset that I was unhappy she was often late. Second time because she owed us money I believe, she didn't explain further. Such is life.

She had her own talent agency for a while.

Jasmine Byrne Leaves Porn?

I heard she got beat up by another girl in the business (Tory Lane).

Scott Fayner reports on lukeford.com:

We reported some time back, maybe last week, about Tory Lane beating the crap out of Jasmine Byrne. What we hear is that it was Jasmine who started the fight while she was totally wasted. Tory just ended it. Jasmine's roommate saw the whole thing and flipped out.

HollyRandall: what's this?
HollyRandall: I have her booked next week
HollyRandall: so i hope not
HollyRandall: no i know nothing
Luke: i want you to reveal her hidden beauty
HollyRandall: very funny
HollyRandall: is that your new catchphrase?
Luke: talking to a friend today, she thinks I'm OCD
Luke: so i repeat these lil phrases
HollyRandall: you're hovel is too slovenly for you to have OCD
HollyRandall: YOU'RE buying lunch?
HollyRandall: hold on while i have a heart attack
Luke: I saw a doc today about my elbow
Luke: tennis elbow, gotta take it easy for a while till it naturally heals, taking anti-inflammatory drugs
HollyRandall: oh so does that mean you can't work as much?
Luke: yeah,
Luke: but be particularly careful of camera work, because i hold the heavy camera in my right hand, it is my right elbow
HollyRandall: are you going to be able to live?
HollyRandall: why don't you just carry around your smaller camera?
Luke: you've never had tennis elbow?
HollyRandall: no, strange, it must be because i always have my assistants holding my camera

Sinners Like You And Me

Pastor Craig Gross (with Carter Krummrich) writes in their new book (full disclosure: I get a thank you in the back of the book for my "kind words and attention to details" because I read two previous drafts of the book and submitted factual corrections) The Dirty Little Secret: Uncovering the Truth Behind Porn (published by Zondervan, the major evangelical Christian publisher)

The porn industry and the secular culture have embraced us. ...[T]hey are all just sinners like you and me, desperately looking for someone to love them. (p. 18)

I realized Erotica LA 2005 was my sixth porn show... I saw the banner hanging from the ceiling. One of the girls pictured on the massive piece of canvas, Sara [Stephanie Swift?], stood out in contrast...because I knew her.

...I gave one last look at the banner of thought of the two phone calls I had gotten from her in the last week. She wanted out. (p. 31)

Heather, one of the porn stars selling DVDs at the [Dane] booth, knows better now. This is her last day working in the porn industry.

Mrs. Dane was Heather's boyfriend's aunt. She told her about their little family business. Initially, Heather said no, but they persisted and she got drunk and comfortable with the people. Six months later, she had filmed seven movies. Now she is jaded... (p. 44)

Jimmy D sauntered over to our booth and sat down on our couch. He took his sunglasses off and made sure he was comfortable. He said he enjoyed our website and thought it was great that we were there. We could not say the same to him. We watched in utter discomfort as his hardcore videos played on two large plasma screens the rest of the weekend. By day two we were sick of his videos. A year later we received a confessional email from Jimmy D; it turned out he was disgusted by his own product as well. (p. 45)

Craig writes that the porners have yet to hit rock bottom. "They will get there, and from our point of view, the writing is all over their faces."

I agree that porn tends to wreak a toll on people's faces. By middle age, people tend to get the faces they deserve. I think of various holy people in my life and I just have to look at them to feel inspired.

Innocence can never be regained. Once you've done porn, you've lost something you'll never regain.

The worst part of porn addiction is that you can tell a complete stranger what you're dealing with, but you won't say anything to those closest to you. (p. 49)

As a child, [Heather] had dreams of being a lawyer, a massage therapist, and a veterinarian. These dreams disappeared when she got into porn.

When Heather initially started, the environment was comfortable and the people were funny. The environment was relaxing for her. She was talked into it. What she saw was a family... (p. 74)

"A lot of these girls will say that they like the porn lifestyle, but they're all drugged up when they're on shoots. They're either drinking or they're getting high. So if they can't do porn sober, then why are they doing it?" asks Heather.

"If you don't want anything stable in your life whatsoever, then this is the business for you. I had a lot of fun partying...but I was all messed up. There have been shoots where I don't remember half of what I did."

"You can't have a serious relationship and do this, because if you really care about someone, you're not going to want them to continue in this." Heather thinks that all these girls really want is love, but they're just in the wrong place. That's all she wanted. Her father left her mother at a young age and she'd never had a father figure step in. She found it at Dane Hardcore, but the experience ruined her life.

"I can't be involved with my real family when I do porn. When I'm in the porn lifestyle, I am lying to my family." (p. 75)

Amber [ex-porn star Autumn Rayne] is very close to her thirteen-year-old daughter and began to realize the effects of her legacy shortly before she left the business for good. (p. 76)

Amber's daughter is not a virgin. "[T]he boy talked to her daughter about things and actions only seen in porn films." (p. 77)

Amber knows girls who have been coerced and set up for a shoot, and when the girls showed up, there were six guys instead of one. The producers will harass these girls, most of them ninteen or twenty years old, if they refuse to continue. "And these young girls are doing it because they're so insecure about themselves and they let these people take advantage of them." (p. 77)

...[Amber] worked as a prostitute for a year before a breakdown rendered her emotionally unstable. "...I think a lot of it was the abuse I've been through in this industry and then doing everything I've done." (p. 78)

"Once you've done porn," Amber says, "you don't really know anything else, and you're afraid to really try anything else because you don't have the confidence that you are better for anything else."

"Adrienne" is a life-long Christian who became a porn star with her husband to make extra money. Now they are separated and talking about divorce. "The hardest thing for me is the fact that our marriage started with God as our Rock." (p. 80)

As Shelly [Lubben] puts it, "When we were little girls, we wanted to play with dollies and be mommies, not have big scary men get on top of us. And we were taught at a young age that sex made us valuable. The same horrible violations we experienced then, we relive as we perform our tricks in front of the camera. And we hate every minute of it. We're traumatized little girls living on antidepressants, drugs, and alcohol, acting out our pain." (p. 81)

Shelly remembers...having to explain to her daughter why Mommy was kissing another woman...

As Shelly reflected on children of porn stars, she writes, "We are the world's worst mothers. We yell and scream and hit our kids for no reason. Most of the time we are intoxicated or high and our four-year-olds are the ones picking us up off the floor. When clients come over for sex, we lock our children in their rooms and tell them to be quiet. I used to give my daughter a beeper and tell her to wait at the park until I was finished." (p. 82)

[Autumn Rayne's] husband downloaded porn continuously during a time in their marriage. He stopped paying attention to her so she started flirting with another guy openly. (p. 83)

Shelly [Lubben] writes: "A closer look into the scenes of a porn star's life will show you a movie porn doesn't want you to see. The real truth is we porn actresses want to end the shame and trauma of our lives, but we can't do it alone. We need you men to fight for our freedom and give us back our honor. We need you to hold us in your strong arms while we sob tears over our deep wounds and begin to heal. We want you to throw out our movies and help piece together the shattered fragments of our lives." (p. 84)

These web guys aren't just nice people, and that's why they are giving you three days free. They realize that you're going to want more. That you are going to want the hardcore stuff. You're going to want the full streaming video. (p. 89-90)

James DiGiorgio says: "...[W]hile my sexual drive hasn't been negatively affected by the business, the things that appeal to me, that turn me on, have been narrowed considerably. They are much more specific and focused."

Pastors Craig Gross and Mike Foster officiated at Jimmy's daughter's wedding.

So Josh started attending "Porn Star Karaoke," an event at a Los Angeles bar where porn stars party. Josh started getting to know everybody in the business, learning how to operate in this world. ...On the side, Josh tried his hand at filming videos for churches.

AVN Editor Mike Ramone writes:

Gross should really get off of his high horse. Christianity's been responsible for millions of deaths in the name of Jesus and God over the centuries, as compared to a handful of porn-related suicides. I would suggest that Gross just might know more about the porn industry than the history of his own religion. Here's a couple of titles, all available on Amazon, he (and many other Christians as well) might consider reading to remedy that: The End of Faith, The Book Your Church Doesn't Want You to Read, The Dark Side of Christian History, The Jesus Puzzle: Did Christianity Begin with a Mythical Christ, the Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold and finally, of course, The Five Gospels: What Did Jesus Really Say?, the seminal work of the Jesus Seminar, a large group of New Testament scholars who know more about that largely fictional work than you, me and Gross ever will, and who have concluded that something like 82% of the sayings ascribed to Jesus in the NT were fabricated by his followers after the fact.

Christianity, like the other major religions, simply falls apart under the hard, unblinking glare of logic, reason and scholarship. And compared to its horrific history, porn is a quite innocent enterprise.

Tara writes: "'Sara' is not Stephanie Swift. Stephanie is still feature dancing. I talked to her three weeks ago. Furthermore, Stephanie was not featured on any huge banner at Erotica LA 2005!"

Well, 'Sara' was in porn for 11 years. Sounds like Stephanie to me.

Jesse Jane Unhappy At Digital Playground?

Cody from Digital Playgrounds responds on ADT:

Well, rumors aren't always true. She moved out of California to be with her family but she spends a lot of time here in Los Angeles to shoot. Date of Production is very deceptive information. Jesse actually has a new movie out next month called Hot Rod and another one the month after called Sexual Freak so she's been shooting a lot still. You have to understand that she was also feature dancing, hosting two Playboy TV Shows, making appearances (remember that Super Bowl party?). She's quite a busy gal.

'My XRCO Awards Show 2006 experience'

Jamie Ralph Gardner writes on Carnal Comics Yahoo Group:

When I went to the XRCO Awards, I brought with me a bunch of copies of Triple-X Cinema #3. Margold said I could put them wherever I wanted. Margold put them on a bunch of tables. He gave them a lot of visibility. Before the awards started, I mostly hung out at the entrance to the Century Club. A group of us took photos of the women as they arrived. Some women (Kylie Ireland and Taylor Wane) who starred in Carnal Comics books were there. Kylie spoke favorably about her comic book to Christy Canyon. I gave Christy a business card. Taylor was not close up enough to hear what we were talking about. I met Bono (Moderator for adultdvdtalk.com ) and Morbid Thoughts (a person who posts many messages on adultdvdtalk.com). I met Monstar and he was very nice. A woman [Joanne B. Cachapero], who writes for xbiz.com, told me that Carnal Comics was helpful in getting her first article posted on www.xbiz.com. She told me that noticing Aurora Snow and Inari Vachs at the Comic-Con gave her a good subject to write about.

When I got in the Century Club, I noticed Belladonna sitting at a table. She posed for a picture with me. She was very friendly and down to earth. She has a smile that lights up a room. The awards ceremony seemed to start an hour late but it went by very quickly once it started. The audience was talking during much of what was said. The audience was distracting but I could hear most of what was said. There was a problem of many winners not coming up for their awards but it's possible some people might not have been aware that there names were called. Margold hosted the Hall of Fame portion. John Stagliano did come up to get his award but Jon Dough, Blale Palmer, etc. did not. When Ron Jeremy was presenting, there were two women on both sides of him. Ron said "The Good, the Bad, (pause) "the Ugly." He still has his self-deprecating sense of humor. Jay told me that when Ron was standing next to Christina Angel at an event, Ron said they were beauty and the beast.

I liked this XRCO Awards more then the other two that I went to. I spent more time at the entrance then inside the room. Out of the 104 photos that I took, I have posted 57 in the photo section under the title of XRCO. I have also started rearranging photos in the photo section. Deja Sinn now has her own album.

Getting Francesca Le

Sinnamon Love writes on ADT:

I totally get where Francesca was coming from in this interview. When I started there were only a handful of ethnic performers period, and I the very first Black GND (Girl Next Door.) In this biz, there is no artist development which greatly limits your capability of being more than what the directors and companies see when you walk through the door. In the music biz, the companies sell an image of an artist to a young crowd then slowly "grow up" their character to attract an older audience as the artist ages and starts to lose their audience. Porn doesn't do that.

I found in my own career that while looking 12 when I first came into the biz was great at the beginning (at 19,) that after 2-3 years I was no longer believable as "just 18." The companies couldn't see me as being a glamour girl and I missed out on a lot of great roles as a result. It took my growing up my own image on screen in order to continue to stay in the loop. Today, lots of these girls do more and more extreme stuff with the hopes of sticking around but they don't have the same luxury that those from my gen had... there are too many performers now and once you make career changing mistakes there are others ready to take your place... That didn't exist years ago.

I think one of the only reason I have managed to stick around is because I not only changed my look for the better and created the glamour image that others didn't see when I walked through the door, but I also only do the things I really, truly love on screen - so my performances are always sizzling hot... hoping that in doing so the fever will spread and fans will always enjoy what they see.

And being able to change my look from GND to Glamour Girl to Fetish Queen doesn't hurt.

Porn Models Shot Out

Matt of Mattsmodels.com blogs:

I probably wouldn't be venting if this model didn't show up looking like she did a f--- scene every day for the past month. She said she was tired and had been working a lot. I got her some coffee, but it wasn't much help. She was VERY, VERY NICE....but EXHAUSTED WHEN SHE ARRIVED.

I asked her why she didn't just take a day off? I don't even remember her answer, but addiction to the easy money is my guess.

If you're going to come to my shoots in this state for the above stated reason then I'm apt to refer to you as a "Porn Slut" and not so affectionately.

I need some new fresh ones.

Farrah Update

She's in prison in Southern California sentenced to eight months for assaulting a police officer years ago (there was a Los Angeles warrant out for her arrest). She's yet to stand trial in Los Angeles on charges of using fake IDs and credit card theft. Then she needs to be sentenced in New Jersey for bank fraud (she might get more than three years because she failed to show up for sentencing in February).

Farrah (Joy Marquart) resides in prison in Lynwood, California (11705 Alameda St). She's doing better inside than outside where she was drinking excessively and burning her friends. Now she's sober.

In New York, Farrah was connected to this black pimp who beat her. He put her up to the bank fraud that got her in trouble.

Farrah had a friend in the business who brought her out to LA (several times, including in late January) and helped her get escorting work. But Farrah's drinking got out of control.

In New York, Farrah, under the control of this pimp, seemed scared to do anything. Her LA friend talked her into walking out, getting a taxi, getting a hotel, and then flying to Los Angeles in the morning.

When Farrah got to LA in late January of this year, this pimp would call her and try to talk her into hitting another bank.

This mastermind of her crimes has yet to be apprehended.

Farrah and her friend had a mutual friend who was into making and selling fake IDs. The police were watching this guy. He was washing his car in Farrah's friend's driveway in LA when the police swooped down and busted him. Farrah used her fake ID and tried to claim she was someone else, so she got busted too.

Billy Glide was present when the bust (in February) went down.

Farrah had a plane flight booked back to New Jersey the next day to face her sentencing.

Her friend spent $8,000 (mortgaging her house) to put up bail for Farrah and take care of her.

Farrah flew to San Francisco to escort. She said she'd fly back that same day of her court date. Her friend with her house on the line got nervous.

Farrah did not show up to court.

Her friend sent the bounty hunters to pick her up (rather than lose her house).

Farrah was scared of detoxing in jail.

The police did not have a search warrant when they busted Farrah and her friends.

Farrah wanted a bunch of her pictures sent to her in jail so she could sign and sell them. The pictures were sent back by the prison even though they weren't nudies.

I hear Jenna Presley is dating Travis Nestor, the production manager for Zero Tolerance.

Porn Survivor

Chaim Amalek writes:

I will make Holly marry you. Just so I can have a place to live rent-free. And kitchen privilges. It will be just like "On the Beach," only with you, me, and an assortment of porn people waiting for the radiation to die down over Malibu.

This would make a great movie - porn people are the last human survivors of some Muslim horror, and meet at Holly's mom's place to map out the future of humanity.

Who shall breed with whom, and whose genes shall be spliced out of the future gene pool. It will be just like Pitcairn Island, only with porners instead of mutineers.

Kendra Jade Goes Lesbian

Kendra's never had a girlfriend. She doesn't like girls. But now I read her MySpace page and it appears she's in love with a lesbian (24 yo model $huga $hay, who's MySpace page plays Kendra's song 'Girl, I'm Going To Miss You').

(Kendra's 19 yo sister Sam. Kendra's 17 yo sister Tommi.)

While the Torah forbids man-on-man sex (Leviticus), it is only in recent rabbinic writings that woman-on-woman action has been forbidden (making that prohibition less severe than a Biblical or Talmudic one).

Therefore, I'm better equipped emotionally and morally to deal with Kendra's latest perversion (yes, I was upset by that anal gangbang she did eight years ago, but let's not go there).

On Kendra's birthday, April 19, $huga $hay posted to KJ's site:

Did you get all your belligerence out last night? Hope you didn't party too hard to properly celebrate with your wife tonight. Enjoy today, caz it's YOUR day!

By the way, when do I get my CD of Kendra J's greatest hits so i dont have to listen to the same song over n over like an OCD idiot?

Kendra calls me back at 1:29 p.m. Tuesday. She sounds horrible. She says she's recovering from a sinus infection. "I've been on antibiotics for a week. It's all breaking up now."

Luke: "How did you hook up with $huga $hay?"

Kendra: "I met her through a mutual friend at a Lakers game. It just happened.

"I still don't know if it qualifies as a lesbian relationship as we have not [had sex]. I love her. We've been together a week. She's a model.

"My friend Alisan [Porter] is moving to New York. She's my best friend. She's got a one-year contract on Broadway."

Luke: "Are you reading again?"

Kendra: "I read all the same stuff all the time. I haven't found anything new.

"What's going on with you? How's Holly?"

Luke: "She's good. She promised her therapist she'd be celibate for six months. I respect that. If she's banging some other guy, she's his girl. I don't want to hang with her, or chitchat with her. I wouldn't like other guys hanging with her if I was doing her."

Kendra: "My therapist suggested the same [celibacy] thing but I'm not down with that.

"How come it's always Holly buying you stuff?"

Luke: "I don't have any money. I only have debts. So if I were to take $20 to spend on Holly, that's not my money. That's money I owe somebody. It wouldn't be right to spend somebody else's money on Holly or anyone. I never ask her for anything. This is all her idea. I'm happy to take."

Kendra: "I got my friend Alisan [Porter] [Alisan's MySpace] a $6,000 purse she's been wanting."

Luke: "Rob Spallone's producing the World's Oldest Gangbang."

Kendra: "That's vile, though I probably would've done it when I was 19.

"Are you going to throw up when you watch it?"

Luke: "I haven't watched a porn movie in about seven years."

On Kendra's MySpace profile, she writes:

If you know me from my previous life, I probably don't like you. Of course there are exceptions to every rule. I am high maintenance. I am brutally honest and even confrontational.

The first thing I notice about people is thier eyebrows and their teeth. I like people with perfect teeth. But I'll still be cool to you if your grill's f'd up.

Turquoise is my favorite color.

I have obsessive compulsive disorder and I cry if my house is messy. I hate rain.

I'M A SHOPAHOLIC.

I am half Puerto-Rican and half Italian.

I like to spray tan instead of lie in those nasty beds.

I am a clothing obsessed label whore with a very big taste for Balenciaga , Fendi , Chloe, ...oh screw it ...Mostly ANY bags. I dont wear underwear, I'm not sure I even own a pair... But I have a lot of shoes!

I had a boyfriend once and he was nice but then he wasnt nice anymore so we broke up. I think we still hate eachother. But I'm not really sure. I stopped keeping track. I think he left me for Jamie Kennedy. But I'm his number one friend on Myspace so you never know.

Underage Girls!

Captain Carmen writes:

I was flipping channels last night, and I happened upon the following: A 15-year-old Asian girl. Long black hair. Golden-brown skin. Naked. She had a beautifully high, firm breasts. And she was swimming in a river. Lunging out of the water with her hair flying back. It was a lovely discovery.

So - what do I have? Illegal channels? Super-premium-porn channels? Broadband porn streaming directly to my bedroom?

Nope - I have basic cable. And this show was on the Discovery: Travel channel. It's called Simatalu: House of Spirits, and it features a bunch of very topless young women of the Siberut variety.

Do I care? They're not saggy and they haven't mutilated themselves with ritual tattoos and lip plates and neck rings and so on, so they're just hot, naked, underage teens. All in the name of science and anthropology.

I guess TV really is a horrible influence.

FetishPaysMe

Zomb1egirl put me up in Vegas for four days in January for the conventions and I've been paying her back through text links to her site.

zomb1egirl: hey, how's it going? first i'd like to thank you for booting my google PR to great heights.
zomb1egirl: I'd also like to ask if you can change the text links of lukeisback from cameltoetease to Female Desperation Videos, ineed2pee.com

zomb1egirl: great! got sick last time in vancouver... shot lots of stuff, edited it all, getting the new site ready, making my summer travel plans.
LukeisBack: any limit will be arbitrary, why is the speed limit 55 and not 56?
zomb1egirl: alrighty, let's try linking to fetishpaysme.com which will boost that PR in turn boosting ineed2pee's PR?
LukeisBack: business is good?
zomb1egirl: cool, you rock. actually you don't since you won't link to my non-nude pee pee site.
zomb1egirl: yeah, it's good & steady. i really have to pep talk myself into improving & really kicking ass y'know,
zomb1egirl: since I have this dislike for money & it's all a big joke anyways. LukeisBack: really? I thought you were Chinese?
zomb1egirl: hahaha, 100%!! which makes me threaten peoples lives while shrieking in mariah carey-like tones while waving my arms around uncontrollably when I get into an argument. I realised money couldn't buy me the thing I wanted most in my life... zomb1egirl: but it can fill it with unreasonable facimilies that will make me less upset.
LukeisBack: what do you want most in life? and don't say happiness, be more specific
zomb1egirl: vegas summer is going to be such a party! I want to [have sex] by the pool
zomb1egirl: number 1 thing I want is beauty
zomb1egirl: what motivates you to do better in life?
LukeisBack: why can't sex be a private sacred thing? why do you want to do it in public?
zomb1egirl: what? it can be both.

Why Does Rob Rotten Have Swastika Tattoos?

From lukeford.com:

Fayner, Even through the drug fog I can tell you are an intelligent person. Yet, you keep promoting Rob Rotten. He has a swastika on both legs and you don't say s---.

Fayner Says: Listen, I'm an American Jew before I'm a Jew. In America we tolerate other's opinions. And although I was not aware of Rob's swastika tattoos as I try not to look at men naked, Rob is a stand up guy in my book and has never treated me like a lesser species. There was that one time Rob did try and push me into a giant oven, but I forgive him for that. Can't you?

Rob Rotten emails me back: "That little tattoo that you are talking about is a small piece of a big painting by Manuel Ocampo. Jesus is a cockroach holding a Nazi flag, a bottle of Tut whiskey, a giant 'F--- You' cross. It's not a pro-Nazi thing. It's just symbolization of how f----ed up organized religion is."

I call Rob in San Francisco.

Rob: "This [controversy] is a recent development. I know where it is coming from.

"I'm trying to decide whether or not to get the tattoo covered up. We got approval from Manuel Ocampo for the tattoo [applied by Tim Lehi]. Tim's wife, her parents are Holocaust survivors. She's really Jewish."

Rob says he's shooting movies twice a month.

Porn Girls Harassed Because Redlight District Put Their Model Releases On The Internet

Various porn girls who've worked for Redlight District have gotten creepy phone calls from fans Monday who said they knew their social security numbers, drivers license numbers, and her home addresses because ClubRedlight.com publicly published the information. Monday, if you clicked on "trailers" on ClubRedlight.com, it went to every single person's model release, scans of their IDs, passports, drivers licenses etc... As of Monday at 10:40 p.m. PST (when I posted this item, though it did not show up for a few hours as lukeisback.com was down for a few hours), ClubRedlight.com was down to fix the problem.

I emailed Redlight District for comment at 10:23 p.m. Monday.

Brasilfan posts on ADT: "I was able to see the contracts of Persia, Penny Flame, Steve Holmes and John Strong with their legal names, address and so on. Platinum X site seems to be down as well."

Kami Andrews posts: "They also had the DL and Passports social security cards and even a few credit cards, in thumbnail 600X600 and 900*900. Of course I'm guilty of running over their to gawk and check girls' rates (I'm underpaid)."

I saw it. I don't think it was hacked, it had to be someone who worked there who was pissed and replaced the boxcovers. How would an outside person have that information? But if it was someone from the outside, why would RLD keep scans of their talent info contracts on their web server? That's just plain dumb. I took a screencap, but I'm not going to post it.

LuveNLuv writes: "If a non-porn employer allowed their employee HR records to be compromised and published, you'd better believe it would end up with some major lawsuits of the employees/contractors against the employer for failure to safeguard their personal information. With 2257 now in place, I wonder how many porn agencies have taken proper precautions to safeguard their talent info accordingly?"

Brasilfan writes:

You have to keep the records but I would argue you should not keep them on the same webserver as your consumer site. That is really palin stupid! If it was really a pissed-off employee, that is actually even worse and frankly I do not think somebody would be stupid enough to do this, as the administrator of the site will surely find out who it was. Looked like a lot of work as well.

Hardware writes: "I believe the DoJ rules were that you had to have the ID database in electronic form. I don't recall anything about it having to be accessible from the Internet. If companies try to do it on the cheap and use one server for everything, then the database being hacked is more likely to occur. That's why the ID database should be on a separate box that is not accessible from the Internet. Of course, we don't know whether this was hackers or an inside job."

Gia Jordan writes BrasilFan: "Sounds like you don't give a s--- about me or any of the performers. If you did, you wouldn't have brought it to the attention of the thousands of people reading this thread. Thanks, bitch."

Kami Andrews writes: "I would worry less about identity theft and more about some one showing up at your house once you do porn you have no recourse against sexual assault. Seen any threads encouraging that people sexually assault porn performers lately Gia?"

David Joseph, owner of Red Light District, posts to XPT:

Last night, at approximately 9:30 p.m., Red Light District (“RLD”) became aware of a technical problem on its website, clubredlight.com, which resulted in the disclosure of certain model information. Immediately upon learning of this problem, RLD instructed its (ISP) Internet Service Provider to shut down the website, which was promptly done. RLD personnel at all levels, including its IT Department and Legal Department, are in the process of determining the cause and scope of the problem. In the meantime, RLD is contacting all the persons whose information was potentially disclosed to inform them of what happened and offer its assistance.

RLD is committed to insuring the privacy of all of its models and directors, and will take whatever action necessary to address this issue. RLD is sorry for any inconvenience caused by this issue, and encourages all parties to contact us if you have any questions or require any assistance.

Morbid Thoughts Photographs XRCO

He writes on ADT:

I figured I should go see an awards I had helped voted on. Would I do it again? Probably not. It was more a party with the awards being ancillary. There was a fist fight, lots of drama and sniping, and a whole bunch of general drunkenness.

The place was supposed to be limited to industry but anybody could've gone in as security was only checking for IDs. There were terrible acoustics in the place so unless you were next to the stage you couldn't hear a damn thing and that's why people didn't know they had won. I couldn't see much either in the dark (but that's not their fault).

The stage was kind of small, so many times it got crowded especially with three hosts, two heart-on girls, and multiple presenters.

The crowd didn't really know what was going on nor did they care most of the time. I watched some of the pornorazzis at work and was put off by some of their antics... although I did meet some nice ones. I wasn't as aggressive in asking people to pose in that I consider it rude to interrupt people in the middle of conversations, expect them to show skin, or dominate their time.

There was an upstairs area where the media could congregate so they could do whatever they need to do with the girls and I stumbled upon it looking for my friend. Security didn't let me through but I managed to motion her out to their disappointment. I wasn't thrilled to find out later that someone had roofied her.

Robert Hill Entertainment — "Sketchy?"

Yoga Dame posts on ADT:

What's the deal with this studio? I mean, other than the bareback fetish, which I personally find repugnant.

From Buck Angel's blog:

I will only be promoting my films now with Avalon as Robert Hill Releasing is totally screwing me and not paying me any of the money they owe me nor are they sending me any videos of mine to sell. They are a very horrible sketchy company and I urge anyone who wants to buy my films NOT to support them by buying any Robert Hill movies. I have to get a lawyer.

I don't s'pose there's anyone here familiar with this situation who can address it? I wanted to review more of Buck's series with Robert Hill, but he's one of my favorite stars, and if he's not happy, I'm not happy.

Business ethics aside, I've heard mixed comments about the quality of Robert Hill's product. When it's good, it's supposedly quite good. Unfortunately, I've seen and reviewed only the one movie, which was not good. I was going to give the series another chance, however, since the person in charge of the first volume left Robert Hill not long after the shoot.

Tawny Roberts Calls Scott Fayner Saturday Night

From lukeford.com:

"Fayner, I love you so much!" she screamed.

"Okay. I love you too, I guess.

"No seriously, Brett. I love you!"

"Thank you, and this isn't Brett, it's Fayner. Remember when I told you that like ten seconds ago?"

"Listen, Brett, come on over."

"Why, what are you doing?"

"Not much, I'm just sitting out on the balcony f---ing a dog."

Scott writes later: "Yesterday I wrote about a call I got from Tawny Roberts, in which she stated that she was f---ing a dog on her balcony. Although I never went there to verify the information, I am almost positive she was not in fact f---ing a dog. But she did tel me that she was. But she wasn't. I think. I hope. I guess. Stop emailing me telling me it is my civil duty to report her. I mean, many times I too have told people over the phone that I was f---ing a dog and I never was. Okay?"

Tawny has taken many pills over the years and gets a bit freaky and appears to lose her mind.

Vivid Girl Lacie Heart Remembers Meeting Her Agent Derek Hay Last August

Gene Ross reports:

"I wanted to cry. He's really scary. But not any more. When I was in his office I almost lost it. When you walk in and sit down he's just scary. You can tell that he's criticizing you from head to toe and that he just reeks of success- like you're the most powerful man I've ever come in contact with and he was, well, I need to see you naked. I figured I do this all the time but he just looks at you like there's something wrong. What the ---- are you looking like that? Then five minutes later, he's I'll represent you."

People today are less likely to give a kid the name of someone they slept with once

Jim posts:

Divorce has become more common and parenthood often comes later in life, which gives future parents lots of time to get their freak on and effectively eliminate a lot of names for their children. According to the CDC, women 30-44 report having had four sexual partners, while men report having had six to eight. That’s a dozen or so baby names gone—more if you were around long enough to learn a partner’s middle name—before you’ve even settled down to have kids. It’s no wonder “John” has completely slipped out of the top 10.

Francesca Le's Opinion on Modern Porn Stars

Derek writes on ADT: "The biz has become more about "business" and less about performers having "fun"--and, in my opinion, the product suffers. I don't care what the performers say in interviews, and on message boards: I don't believe they "enjoy" what they're doing! The biz seems to have become very "impersonal" and "competitive" in the worst sense."

Francesca's husband Mark Wood posts:

No conspiracy theory necessary. Francesca was just making a general comment about the industry now as opposed to the industry in the past. That it has become more of a business now then before. She wasn't making an all encompassing comment. Trust me there are plenty of good girls out there that she loves to shoot; many of them are posters here. The business has been very good to her and continues to be through her own company and she supports the industry completely. You have to remember we are just a mom and pop company. We completely finance our movies on our own with only our own money. We have no secret backers so when you are paying your own hard-earned money she expects the same effort that she always put in.

Payday writes: "Too much thinking and rationalization involved...not enough donkey punching going on in this thread."

Kami Andrews posts: "Francesca is usually down for a good sport ----, no pay check involved."

Ben Sanderson writes: "The evolution of porn is a strange thing. I remember seeing Francesca's Gang Bang Girl scene, and I stroked madly to that for a long time, and to this day it's still hot, but tame compared to todays standards. But at the time I was blown away. this goes with out saying, but the massive growth and reach of the internet has changed porn forever. Adapt or die."
