Video Team's Alexis Amore Party At Basque 2/4/06

I arrive at the party (1707 Vine St at Hollywood Bl) at 9:40 pm. There are no porners but Erika Kole and Rusty Nails.

A porner got a letter Saturday from Vicky Vette's late husband Frank. It says that by the time the letter is read, he'll probably be dead.

I didn't realize he intended to kill himself. I thought he accidentally overdosed on drugs.

Jill Kelly has moved away from her husband Corey Jordan and to Las Vegas and bought a house.

Annie Cruz and Crissy Cums find out they are not on the list to get into the party so they leave. They're accompanied by David Santiago and one of the Nasty Boys (who have a show on VH1).

Outside Basque, I spend almost 20-minutes chatting with Aaralyn Barra. She comes to the party with Ray from PornValleyNews.

Aaralyn Barra's MySpace page. Aaralyn's agent is Fresh Talent Management.

She was born April 24, 1985 and lived in the former Soviet Union until she was 11 when she moved to Philadelphia.

On her MySpace page, she says she wants to get married and is taking applications.

In porn for six months, Aaralyn has done 54 scenes.

Luke: "What prompted you to get into the Adult industry?"

Aaralyn: "The need for fame and money."

Luke: "What were you doing before?"

Aaralyn: "A various assortment of odd jobs. I worked for Foot Locker. I worked as a secretary for a community college."

Aaralyn plans to relocate to Los Angeles.

"I love the money. I love that I get to express myself sexually. I welcome that my aggression is welcomed as opposed to, 'Ohmigod, I can't f--- you in the morning. You're too much for me, girl.'

"I hate that people are so judgmental about bodies. You can't please everyone. There's always something that somebody really likes and another person really hates."

Luke: "How has it affected your personal life and your lovelife?"

Aaralyn: "Surprisingly, it hasn't. I was always promiscuous.

"Dating? I'm more into dating guys who are in the industry. I always start out relationships with guys saying, 'I don't care that you're a porn star.' But a few weeks down the line, you get all these questions: 'Where are you going? How long are you going to be there?' Too much b------."

Luke: "What are the joys and tribulations of dating people inside the industry?"

Aaralyn: "The joys are that they really aren't as jealous and clingy. For the most part, they don't care what you do. On the other hand, let's say I was dating a guy I knew was in the industry and I came up to the set one day and he was there rubbing up on some girl... Even though I know he's doing that to keep his mojo up..."

Luke: "So you can get jealous too?"

Aaralyn: "I can. I think I just contradicted myself."

Luke: "I assume you can only get jealous if you care about the guy."

Aaralyn: "If I really care about someone, I will get jealous. If I don't get jealous, it probably means I don't care that much."

Luke: "If he doesn't get jealous, it means he doesn't care."

Aaralyn: "It's just like that in real life. I don't get jealous easily unless I really care about somebody.

"There aren't that many differences between my regular life and my porn life."

Luke: "How have friends and family reacted?"

Aaralyn: "My mom and dad divorced when I was very young. My father obviously is not in my life. My mom knows what I do. Even though she wishes I would do something else, she was very happy when I gave her the money for a downpayment on a new house. She really doesn't care that much."

Luke: "Have you lost any friends over it?"

Aaralyn: "I don't keep friends for very long. I'm always very busy with whatever I'm doing and friendships have to be nurtured. There are certain friends who understand where I'm coming from and if I don't call them for four weeks, they understand. A lot of people take the fact that I am never around very personally. They take it as though I'm ignoring them."

Luke: "How does that affect your happiness that you don't keep friends?"

Aaralyn: "I have some friends. I'm happy. I'm content with myself. I'm very intelligent. I keep myself occupied."

Luke: "How long do you want to be in the porn industry?"

Aaralyn: "For a few years. In a few years, if I feel I'm ready to direct, I'll direct. Otherwise I'll invest my money in stocks or something."

Luke: "What do you want to accomplish with your life?"

Aaralyn: "I want to make enough money so that I'm comfortable and don't have to worry about anything. I want to provide for my mother. Most importantly, I want a family. I want to be a mom and have Thanksgiving... Careerwise, I'd like to have my own company."

Luke: "Have you thought about how porn is going to affect the rest of your life?"

Aaralyn: "Only for the better. This is an investment in myself."

Luke: "What do you do in your spare time?"

Aaralyn: "Read. I just got done with The DaVinci Code. I'm no longer a Christian because of it. Have you read it?"

Luke: "Yes. Were you Christian before?"

Aaralyn: "Yes."

Luke: "How long did it take you to read The DaVinci Code?"

Aaralyn: "Three days."

Luke: "So you stopped being Christian in the last three days?"

Aaralyn: "Yes."

Luke: "How did you reconcile your Christianity with your pornography?"

Aaralyn: "I don't know how to answer that question."

Luke: "Play with it. Go do something with it. Anything. Were you a regular churchgoer?"

Aaralyn: "I was never a regular churchgoer."

Luke: "Did you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?"

Aaralyn: "No."

Luke: "Did he ever talk to you?"

Aaralyn: "No, he never talked to me.

"My mother is a Christian. She goes to church. I was never religious. I just believed. It was drilled into my head from the first. Jesus Christ is my savior."

Luke: "The DaVinci Code is a novel. I've met so many people who've said what you've said, yet The DaVinci Code is a made-up story. It's not based on facts. How can it affect your view of anything? It's a made-up story."

Aaralyn: "So's the Bible."

Luke: "How do you know?"

Aaralyn: "How do you know The DaVinci Code never happened?"

Luke: "I know that The DaVinci Code never happened because it has been documented to be a work of fiction."

Aaralyn: "The actual story..."

Luke: "But what it is based on is a fraud."

Aaralyn: "But what about the painting?"

Luke: "There's nothing to it. It's just a story."

Aaralyn: "That's your thinking."

Luke: "It's not about thinking. There's nothing to The DaVinci Code but a story."

Aaralyn: "When I read a certain chapter in the book, I'd go online and find things that I found convincing. The book brought up a lot of ideas. Christianity is somebody's idea. His main point in the book is who decided what was true and what was not true. Who put these things down in writing. In my opinion, the Bible is bulls---."

Luke: "In three days, you lost your religion."

Aaralyn: "The DaVinci Code changed my life.

"I'm reading Angels and Demons now [also by Dan Brown]. I'm not impressed. I stopped reading it after two chapters. I wish I had read it first."

Luke: "What other books changed your life?"

Aaralyn: "Marilyn Manson's biography when I was 13. It made me realize what freaks some people are."

Luke: "Do you like freaks?"

Aaralyn: "I like sex freaks. I don't necessarily like psychological freaks."

Luke: "Are you submissive in your personal life?"

Aaralyn: "No. I'm domineering."

Luke: "Are you attracted to submissive men?"

Aaralyn: "No. I like a challenge. I like to wrestle. I'm strong. I work out. I can do 50 push-ups in a minute-and-a-half."

Luke: "Ninety-five percent of guys are going to be stronger than you [even those who don't work out].

"If you kick a guy's ass, do you still want to have sex with him?"

Aaralyn: "Definitely not. Where that power struggle once was, my interest is gone now. OK, you're just another pussy. Why am I going to waste my time with you?"

Luke: "If you wrestle with him, I assume he's going to get an erection and want to have sex with you."

Aaralyn: "No. I'm pretty rough. If they were turned on by it, I would reconsider my position."

Aaralyn says she's pinned about a dozen guys to the floor. "I don't wrestle every guy I meet."

Before porn, Aaralyn slept with about 60 guys. She lost her virginity at 14 and did another 40 guys before turning 18. From 16-19, she says she in a monogamous relationship with the father of her child.

Luke: "How has it affected you [to sleep with so many guys]?"

Aaralyn: "It hasn't."

Luke: "Come on. It must've. Made you more cynical about men?"

Aaralyn: "Definitely. It's allowed me to read into people more deeply. Most of the time when a guy comes up to me, I already know what he is going to say before he says it. It's made life more boring."

Luke: "It's jaded you."

Aaralyn: "Definitely."

Luke: "What type of men are you attracted to?"

Aaralyn: "Black men and Germans. I like actors. I like men who are sure of themselves but not cocky. I like men who have a job but are not too busy, men who pay attention to me but not smother me. I like men who know where they are going in life."

Luke: "So do you find that in porn?"

Aaralyn: "Oh no."

Luke: "If a guy has something going on, he's not going to be working in porn."

Aaralyn: "I don't plan on having anything longterm with anyone in porn."

She has 36 college credits. She says she first majored in Journalism, then switched to Psychology and then switched to Criminal Justice, then went into porn.

Luke: "Do you like interviewing people?"

Aaralyn: "I do. I should interview you."

Luke: "How do you like being interviewed?"

Aaralyn: "I'm apprehensive. I don't know whether certain things I say may be mistaken. I gave an interview once where I was bluntly honest and people considered it cocky. I reinterviewed to say I was sorry for sounding cocky."

Luke: "You are cocky."

Aaralyn: "You think I'm cocky? I'm not cocky. I'm just confident. Cocky people think they're better than other people. I don't think I'm better than anybody. I'm just damn good."

Aaralyn posts:

So, I Aaralyn Barra officially own www.koffeeandcream.com. The site will be launched in early February and it will be SICK!!! I am using everything I have ever seen done in porn and taking it to the nastiest level legally possible. I have a lot of great ideas for the site already but basically its my own take on the famous bang brothers "bang bus" series. Except instead of a bunch of white guys looking for horny young girls... I Aaralyn Barra the horniest of white girls am in my car driving to different locations around the country in search of big black c0ck to fill my insatiable craving. Because as we all know- when the turkey is cut I...prefer the dark meat. So today I shot my first scene for the site which will be used in an "extras" update. I did a super hot POV BJ scene with this sexy ass black Lawyer I know which ended in a very very very special facial. And no I wont tell you why its so special yet. You will have to see it on the site in early '06 (hopefully) But believe me when I say that I rarely disappoint and this one is NASTY!

At 11:15 pm, I walk with Tara to Craven Morehead's party at 6757 Hollywood Blvd (near Highland Bl). It's jammed.

We wait 15-minutes to get in and then leave. I'm home by 12:10 am.

There's a garbled message on my phone. I check my caller ID and dial.

"You're at some other party that's better than this one. Is that what it is?" he asks.

"Who's this?"

"David Aaron Clark."

"I'm sorry I missed you."

"Is this not an A-list party?" asks David. "Is that why you are not here?"

"I was there. I left at 11:15 pm."

"I got there just after. Oh my gosh. And I came out just so I could see you."

"I'm sorry."

David: "I'll live with the bitter disappointment of that."

Luke: "I don't know if I can."

David: "You flatter me more than the girls do these days."

Luke: "You're one of my heroes."

David: "Aspire higher."

Luke: "Did you get any negative feedback on our interview?"

David: "Nobody has the balls to say anything. I was expecting XXXPornTalk to make fun of me. I guess I'm boring."

Jules Jordan and Chico Wang posted on ADT:

Clark, maybe you should have more respect for the people who distribute your movies, so you even have distribution. If you are so happy doing what you are doing, why so pissy and bitter all the time. You are the biggest whiner this business has. How many deals have you lost over your pissing here on adt and abroad? Have some steak and lobster catering on me my friend.

Luke: "Was that Chico Wang or Jules Jordan who wrote that?"

David: "It was both. I know they're buddies. I'll give you a scoop, Luke. They've been homosexual lovers for two years now. Nobody wants to talk about it, but it's true. I swear to God."

He laughs.

"I'm sorry I missed you because I hate these things. I'm sitting here in the corner watching girls who would've turned me on five years ago and waiting for [Brian] Surewood to show up."

Three hours later, David Aaron Clark tells me via email that Ava Rose is the first white girl in years to give him wood.

Smiling Arab writes on XPT:

I've always thought the guy was witty and smart, strong with a smart-ass comeback and probably more grounded than most of the goofy directors in porn. Yeah, he likes to get tortured by malnourished Koreans but at least he's up-front about his kink, rather than taking the slippery slope into homosexuality that seems to be a rite of passage of men in porn. He's also the one (per Luke) that christened Chasey "the girl with the empty eyes," which is bordering on Picasso painting Gertie Stein as an old lady when she was younger in premonitions.

I hear from another source that AVN's Heidi Pike Joy appears to have lost about 100 pounds and has a new man in her life. She chats at Basque with Video Team's Christian Mann.

Tara writes:

Alexis Amore celebrated the release of her first Video Team feature, 'All About Alexis' on Saturday at Basque in Hollywood. Alexis looked fantastic in a sexy midriff bearing denim ensemble. Industry luminaries Olivia O'Lovely, Erika Kole, Rusty Nails, Tiffany Taylor, Tiana Lynn, Aaralyn Barra, Jenna Brooks, Jezebelle Bond, Devon Lee, Ben English, Mia, Ava Rose, Andrew Andretti, Van Styles, Daryn Darby, Velicity Von, and Leola were also at the party. Sexy Annie Cruz, Crissy Cums, one of the Nasty Boyz, and Richard Santiago were not on the party guest list and were turned away. However, before they left, the group put on quite a show off surprised bystanders (see photos below).

David Clark writes on ADT:

It was a good party, sez the guy who doesn't bother with such events much anymore -- Alexis really does look better than ever, & though the only AZN girls there were the Hollywood club hos glued to their tense chopped-Nissan-piloting boyz, I actually met a Caucasian porn gal I found quite, quite hot, Ava Rose. I know she's on Bookworm Bitches but the screengrabs there don't look as good as what I saw last night.
