Wednesday, on Rob Spallone's set. He wants me to get him a mail-order PhD out of Rolling Stone so he can wear a white coat and pose as a doctor.

Samantha Slater has been in the business six months and done about 20 movies.

Ron Sullivan: "She has that thousand-yard stare."

She's a gorgeous lithe blonde, 27yo, with a glamorous 1950s style blonde haircut. She was married to an Army man for five years. She did her first scene five years ago, then left the business.

I'm smitten. I stare hard. I'm trying to figure out where I've seen her before.

Ron notices me. "I haven't seen you smitten like that before, maybe with only two or three girls. You've seen her before but she's done her hair in a new way."

Duke: "Why do so many porn stars come from North Carolina [home to Adam & Eve]?"

Samantha: "Because it's the Bible belt, and filled with big fat close-minded slaves. I wanted to get the hell out of there.

"Yes, I was scared by the HIV crisis. That's why I'm only doing girl-girl now."

Bill Diehl directs Sam's photo shoot. "Open your knee. Let me see your left breast now. Turn your face right. Tummy back. Ooooh. OK, top off."

Sam can't distinguish between left and right. She has big tattoos on her side and buttocks.

Rob Spallone walks in. Trinity James has brought a box of glazed donuts from Krispy Kreme. "I'm going to teach you how to eat them," Rob tells her. He uses a napkin to squashes the donut and then stuffs it in his mouth. Repeat. Repeat.

Rob orders the girls to smoke outside.

Sam takes a big hit on her bong.

Duke: "How was the big talent meeting last night?"

Rob: "Only a dozen talent showed. There were all kinds of lawyers and doctors [about ten people from Cal OSHA]. Gene Ross. The industry's f---ed."

Bill Diehl: "Then I'm screwed then."

Rob: "On the 4th [of June], there's a big meeting that we're all invited to [hosted by various state politicians]. If they do all go all condom, and someone is caught shooting without a condom, what's the fine? One of the lawyers said the minimum fine would be $18,000 on the company.

"As far as companies paying for tests, that is up to the companies.

"Tony Tedeschi killed Cal OSHA [monitors workplace safety]. Out of nowhere, he goes, 'How many dentists have caught HIV in the past ten years?'

Bill: "Oh, a ton."

Rob: "Wait. Nobody knew where he was going. One of the Cal OSHA lawyers said none. Tony asked, why is that? Tony answers himself, before that there were dentists getting HIV. But now you've made it a law that they wear gloves when they go in somebody's mouth. How can you not make a law for us to put condoms on when we're dumping loads in faces, mouths, asses?

"He made a lot of sense. Tony's condom only."

Kenny, production manager: "Even during a blowjob?"

Rob: "I don't know. If you are going to be condom only, it's got to be for everything.

"Seymore Butts. I've never met him before. He's out of his mind. He made some good points. There was a weird chick out of her mind.

"About 40 people were there. One lady from the LA Times, Caitlin Liu. She called me while I was in anger management, asking if she could come. Mark Spiegler, Derek [from LADirectModels]. Nicole London. Jim South. Bill Margold.

"We were sad there weren't more talent there. There was very little screaming or yelling, except from me and Tony."

The meeting ran from 8PM until nearly midnight.

"Cal Osha is investigating AIM. They say they can get the tests cheaper than AIM does.

"Sharon [Mitchell] had a guy there. An ex-cop. Muscular. Jack Lawrence. He donates his time. He asked to speak. He said he was there to represent AIM. He read a letter from Sharon Mitchell. She basically said she was the last hope. Who cares? Get to the point. We don't want to hear her patting herself on the back.

"AIM wants to do two-week testing. Who is AIM to do two week testing? Who is AVN and AIM to shut down the industry? Sharon went on record that we should shut down for 60 days. Then she opened up after 38 days? How is that possible?"

Rob wanted to take his anger management class on a field trip to his AIDS meeting Tuesday night but the instructor did not want to lose his license. "He said that if my lawyer wants him to come to court for the divorce, he'll say that I'm doing just fine. That I have a lot of self control. I participate in the meetings."

Duke: "Seriously, do you think you are getting help from these meetings?"

Rob: "No. I run the meetings."

Rob sprays water on the dying lawn. "They're [Cal OSHA] getting involved."

Ron: "I disagree. They're trying to get out from under it. Who do you think formed OSHA? Insurance companies."

Rob: "Why would they come last night?"

Ron: "They're coming to find ways not to get involved."

Rob: "Oh no. They're doing a full investigation."

Ron: "They're going to write it off."

Duke: "How come they're investigating now? How come they didn't in 1998 when five people got HIV?"

Rob: "I don't know."

Ron: "It's a whitewash. Like the 9/11 commission."

Rob: "Tony went off on them. How come you're getting involved now? Because we never had any complaints. Never had any complaints? I called there ten times and nobody returned my calls.

"Sharon Mitchell says she's paying for [Jessica Dee's medicine] out of her credit card. Where's the $20,000 that was donated [by Jenna Jameson and companies]?

"Julian St. Jox's girlfriend, the tall black girl. She's not in the business. She's been doing a whole investigation. She's been at every meeting. That's her boyfriend and he was on the list. She wants to know why AIM didn't do this or that. She's been calling Cal OSHA and lawyers."

Rob talks to Samantha. "Did you say hello to my friend Duke? He's very wealthy. Do you want to date him?

"She's a whore."

Duke: "She's an actress."

Rob: "She acts like a bucket."

Ron tells me: "Samantha asked about you. I said you [had an ambivalent relationship with] porn girls."

Trinity James is getting breast implants to move from a B to a D cup.

Rob's shot a movie a week during the HIV crisis, including boy-girl without condom. "So's everybody else," he says. So Rob's no worse than everybody else, he says. "Who's going to stop me from shooting?"

Duke: "Sharon Mitchell."

Rob: "Sunday, the girls [including Destiny DeVille from England and Pandora Dreams, who swam in the nude] came up to [Mike Davis's] house for a barbeque.

"Monday, she was in Jim's office facing him. I come walking up and Jim's talking to her. I grab her by the throat. Jim says, 'What are you doing? You don't even know the girl. Are you crazy?' I said, 'So what?'

"He didn't know I'd met the day before."

Ron Sullivan's on the seventh year of his seventh marriage [to black girl Delores].

Ron: "John Leslie called me in 1997. 'Hey, I hear you married a nigger.'"

Rob wants me to take a picture of Trinity James sticking both fists up her ass. I refuse.

Rob sighs: "I don't feel well. I'm very tired."

Bill: "Keep it in your pants once in a while."

Tuesday, at World Modeling, Jim South tells a porner trying to book his British talent Destiny DeVille: "If [the penis] is too big, she can't take it."

Yet Destiny on Wednesday does her first anal scene with Lee Stone, no less.

Jim tells Misty Mason: "Stay in touch with us. Things are finely picking up."

Jim picks up the phone to field his sixth phone call from Brazilian porn star Luccia (who left Nastymodeling.com in a nasty and public dispute a few months ago) in the past couple of hours. "Luccia, darling, love and kisses." He wides his eyes.

Jim tells me, "I forgot what it's like to be busy."

Business has been quiet the past six weeks due to the HIV crisis but now business is at 80% of normal.

Latina Foxxxy Lady is coming in next week to get to work with her newly enhanced breasts.

Jim talks about one girl with a representative of Shane's World: "When she's not arguing with her boyfriend, she's very sweet and easy to get along with. He's a good guy. They just do the boyfriend-girlfriend thing once in a while.

Jim seems to enjoy chatting with me between his calls. "I got into this conversation about Texas. About Jim Bowie, General Sam Houston and Davy Crocket. Must've about ten of us eating. I asked the [porn] girl if she knew what the Alamo was. She said, 'Of course. Do you think I'm stupid? It's a car rental place in Sherman Oaks.'"

Duke: "These chicks are funny."

Jim groans. "If we had an army of models, [we'd be in big trouble]. Where's godzilla [Rob Spallone] today?"

Duke: "Valencia."

Jim: "Probably because of my breath, I'm never invited to people's houses.

"I don't want this all going on your website. This is a joke. Don't you dare print this."

Duke: "Scout's honor."

Katie Gold from Dallas breezes in and chats with her friend Jim South Jr.

Jim talks about Chanelle, one of his girls under a management contract. "We need to test this management contract," says Jim Sr, "because we really treated her good." Then she cancelled her shoots and signed with another manager.

Sr tries to scroll down a computer screen but can't figure out the mouse.

"You've got to roll the mouse wheel," says Jr.

I get up and show Jim how to do it. He's checking out a beauty from Denmark, Denise Klaraskon.

I give World Modeling a hard time about not having an asian men under representation. They say they have an asian guy named Steven Steelberg.

Duke: "Do you have a quota on the number of asian guys you represent?"

Jim Sr: "We never have quotas on nationality or religion. Anybody that calls us..."

Duke: "Is there a hostile work environment here for asian guys?"

They look at me as though I'm nuts.

Pandora Dreams is working every day through Jim South. She's condom only. Jim Sr. suspects she's getting work on her own and the producers are not paying Jim his agency fee.

Jr: "They all [talent] do that."

Sr: "You have to show me how to get into our websites. I get too many calls."

Jr: "I've shown you before."

Sr complains about young girl-next-door type chicks getting breast implants against his wishes. Their work often dries up.

Steve from Video Team walks in at 3:30PM and sits next to Envy for the next two hours. He wears his baseball cap backwards.

Savannah James did one solo masturbation scene and then quit, even though she was signed to a special management contract.

Randi Wright has quit the business, breaking Rob Spallone's heart. She has a boyfriend who does not want her to be a porn star.

A little dark girl from England walks in with her driver. Destiny DeVille, 19yo. One parent is Indian and another Maritian. She's booked with a scene a day, sometimes more.

Steve Austin worked at World Modeling on three stints of around two years each.
