Email Luke photo IDs.
Bishop writes on XPT about Gia Jordan's pictures: "Luke you must stop pressuring Holly for sex and pressure her for rudimentary photo pointers. A friend would tell you that this thread has more photo value than an entire year of your unfortunate clicking. I know you are a writer by trade but if you are going to include photos in your offerings, consider this a wake-up call and take a class or hire someone."
I walk into Erotica LA at 11:10 a.m. and see Alicia Rio. I raise my camera.
She puts out her hand to stop me. "I charge!" she says.
"Press," I say and show my badge.
"Oh, you've written bad things about me," Alicia says.
"I haven't written anything about you [for many months]."
"That's what Dominic says.
"Anyway, I'm not comfortable with how my body looks. I don't want a lot of pictures."
An hour later, I run into Alicia again and she apologizes for jumping down my throat.
I don't try to take her picture.
I hang out at the XXX Church booth with Pastor J.R. Mahon, who I met in Las Vegas in January. Here's the .wav file of our chat.
The Church was featured on ABC's World News Tonight June 25.
JR: "JimmyD comes up [Saturday, the show was open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.]. He's a friend of the ministry. We were catching up. He has new grandkids. Out of the corner of our eye, we see Ron [Jeremy]. Ron is an old friend from the road. We debate him regularly. All of a sudden we have two porn legends sitting at the XXX Church booth and a crowd of people around us. We were talking about kids and wives. It was surreal for us."
Luke: "Do you think you are making any difference in anyone's life?"
JR: "Absolutely. The Bibles were able to spark a lot of great conversation."
The volunteers at the booth handed out over 3,000 "Jesus Loves Porn Stars" Bibles yesterday.
Here's the first page:
Does Jesus really love porn stars? Absolutely. Now that may go against what you thought about Jesus but it is true. You see Jesus loves porn stars as much as he loves pastors, soccer moms, liars, thieves, and prostitutes. In his eyes, we are all the same. We're all just people in need of a savior who can come into our world and fix our messed up lives. The Bible says that we have all messed up. Whether you're making porn, working at a coffee shop, or running a church we are all sinners. And despite this fact, Jesus really, really loves us. He is not angry with us. He is not too busy for us. He isn't waiting for us to get our junk together. He just says come. Come now. Check out what I have for you. A life that is greater then you could ever imagine.
So what you're holding in your hands is a New Testament written in a contemporary language, which contains this radical message of Jesus. It hasn't been altered or changed. And sorry, no pictures for those who aren't big readers. Just pure truth. Just the story of Jesus and how he loved the unlovable and rebelled against the religious rules of the day. As you read through this book you will discover what Jesus really thinks about people just like you and me. You will see how he had incredible love and compassion for the town whore (Luke 7) and tax collectors, and those whose lives were a complete mess. How Jesus handles these people might surprise you.
So it is our desire that you read this book. And don't read it like a normal book. Find yourself in the story. See what it says to you. Figure out what all this stuff means for you and your life. It is our prayer that it impacts you the way it has impacted us and so many others over the ages. It is radical, groundbreaking, and surprising. Almost as radical, groundbreaking, and surprising as saying Jesus loves porn stars. Now get reading.
AVN Editor Mike Ramone writes:
“Just pure truth”? That hasn’t been “altered or changed? Please. The four gospels were written decades after Jesus allegedly existed, by anonymous authors who didn’t know the “historical” Jesus (but assumed the names of his disciples) and who based their accounts on several generations of unreliable oral hearsay – the same hearsay that would not be admitted as evidence into any American courtroom. Small wonder then, that the Jesus Seminar, a large group of New Testament scholars who know considerably more about those texts than the XXX Church or many other blindly faithful fundamentalists know (just as many atheists/agnostics/secular humanists know more about the roots of Christianity than do, well, Christians), has concluded that Jesus never said 82% of the sayings ascribed to him in the NT, words that were, in fact, made up by his followers after the fact in order to spread their new faith via their propaganda.
And based on those texts, the religious right is trying to legislate morality, impose their beliefs on others and most importantly for this discussion, shut down this industry? Now that’s obscene. And absurd.
Tod Hunter writes:
So Jesus only allegedly existed, and he didn't say most of what is ascribed to him.
Reminds me of the old Shalom Aleichem story.
A man loaned his neighbor a plate. The neighbor breaks the plate and then sneaks into the man's house to return it. When the man confronts his neighbor, the neighbor says: "You never loaned me a plate. Besides, it was broken when you loaned it to me. And it was in one piece when I brought it back."
Tod - Not much of a Biblical scholar, but I know faulty logic when I see it.
Mike Ramone replies:
No faulty logic Tod, but perhaps faulty understanding on your part. A good case can be made that a “historical” Jesus never existed, namely that the only references to him are found in the Christian propaganda known as the New Testament, not in any of the more secular histories of that time (the one exception is considered by many NT scholars to be a forgery). But the early Christians who wrote the NT obviously may have still believed that a physical Jesus existed decades earlier (or maybe not: some early Christian sects believed only in the Jesus of the spirit, considering the concept that God could take human physical form to be blasphemous), even if the facts were to the contrary. Ca-pesh?
Tod Hunter writes:
No, I don't. I find it hard to wrap my mind around the contention that a character who didn't exist was misquoted. No matter. I don't turn to Mike Ramone for spiritual or historical guidance.
Tod -- Somewhat amused that I quoted Shalom Aleichem when I discussed Mike's contentions, and he responded by asking me "Capisce?" We instinctively went to each other's cultures to make our point.
Distinguished Bible scholar and pornographer James DiGiorgio (who got into Erotica LA with a JCsGirls.com badge) writes: "It was hundreds of years later that the Roman emperor decided Christianity needed a Bible of it's own. The bishop of alexandria, Athanasius, who attended the first council of Nicaea where, three-hundred years after the Jesus, they decided whether Jesus was man, God, or a bit of both, was appointed the task of deciding which books would be included in the New Testament. His choices remain in place today."
Dominus DiGiorgio sez: "You might also ponder this question -- Did the creation of the NT represent the first, official, anti-Semitic act of organized Christianity? After all, before the NT all they had was what some refer to as "the Jew bible" or OT (Old Testament.) Early Christian leaders weren't about to work hard at conquering the world for Jesus without a book of their own! This was a great way to distance themselves from Judaism."
JR: "If people are filling that God-sized hole with porn, they don't need to do that anymore."
Luke: "How do you keep yourself from getting corrupted?"
JR: "It's not like I look up and see some porn and get nutty. I see through it, just like many of the people in the industry. I see the brokeness that surrounds porn and it just makes me want to be here even more."
Luke: "How much anger and hatred have you received?"
JR: "Yesterday we had three guys from the industry that had a bug to come over here and let us have it."
Luke: "Who were they?"
JR: "I don't know their names. One guy was all dressed in leather. You can't miss him. Bald head. Dark glasses. This was his quote. 'I know the Bible inside and out and you guys are hypocrites.'"
Luke: "Was he tall?"
JR: "Yes."
Luke: "Skinny?"
JR: "Yes."
Luke: "He's the Editor of AVN -- Mike Ramone."
Mike Ramone responds: "Luke, as lawyers sometimes say in criminal trials, you’re assuming a fact not in evidence: Don’t know who JR is talking about, but it wasn’t me friend. I had no contact whatsoever with the XXXChurch guys at Erotica (and I wasn’t dressed all in black either). But I’m happy to know that another tall and skinny guy sees them for the fundamentalist fools that they are."
Luke: "About 45?"
JR: "Yes. Totally dressed in black."
Luke: "Did he stay around?"
JR: "No. He came. He let us have it. Two or three minutes tops. He didn't stay around."
Luke: "Did he have any interest in what you have to say?"
JR: "No."
Luke: "Have you ever felt physically threatened?"
JR: "Not at a porn show. Once at a church."
Luke: "What do you see out here?"
JR: "When guys walk down the aisles and they don't even want to make eye contact with you. They don't even want to shake your hand or embrace you in any way. There's a lot of loneliness and brokeness. People in the industry see that too."
Luke: "What about the porn girls?"
JR: "We have a different relationship with them. When they come to our booth, we do hair and make-up for them. The girls shed a little bit. They're able to talk to us. Our girls go into the bathroom, their break room, and really talk to them. They hear, 'Yeah, I don't want to do this forever. I'm looking for ways to get out. I wish I could stop this.'
"The dudes, particularly the guys who come here as consumers, they're just looking for another piece of meat."
A lot of girls got groped at the show, including the gay executive director of the Free Speech Coalition, Michelle Freridge.
"This show attracts the lowest of the low," one porner tells me. "Guys expect that for their $30 entrance, they can grope a girl."
Luke to JR: "You have to feel more for the disabled."
Escorts for the Disabled is the booth next to the XXXChurch along with a gay porn booth.
JR: "Last year at this show, a guy came up to me and said, 'If you want to help me, you'll give me money so I can buy a hooker. Otherwise, no one touches me.' I had nothing to tell that guy. I got on my knees that Monday and studied the Word. I don't have the answer. I still don't think that porn is the answer."
I hang out at the JCsGirls booth.
Jamie Ralph Gardner writes me:
When I was at the Nectar Entertainment/1 Strike booth, I overheard 2 guys (who worked at the booth) talking about a woman. One of the guys claimed that he didn't have sex her but he had sex with another woman. They were talking about a party where sex went on. One of the 2 guys started talking to me and asked me what kind of movies that I like. I said I like group sex scenes. His response was that I would have seen plenty of that at the party last night. I said that there are people who say that porn parties are not big orgies like people think but your experience shows there are wild parties out there. He agreed that you can go parties where sex happens if you know the right people. I don't know where the party took place.
1) Isn't it cool how the XXX Church can come to porn conventions and attempt to lure girls away from porn and into Christianity, yet still be happily accepted and tolerated by the porners? There's no way those hypocrites in the Church would allow a porn company to go recruiting at some Christian convention and attempt to lure girls away from Christianity and into porn, is there? I feel a 'Pornographers: More Tolerant Than Christians' bumper sticker coming on!
2) The true measure of a woman's beauty is if she can still look good in a photo taken by L-ke F-rd. Aria Giovanni, Sunny Leone and Neveah can all pull it off, other girls don't fare quite as well. If I was Vivid, Wicked, or Digital Playground, and I was looking for a new contract girl, I'd make sure they passed the Lukeisback photographic acid test first...having seen some of his more recent work, let me just say OUCH!
Hi, Just got back from LA today from Erotica LA. It was fun, sort of a mini- AVN's. Here's are some of the details: Cool people that I saw again- Layla Jade (OMG, next time she wears a shirt like that, I'm gonna pass out) Tiana Lynn (my bud), shame she doesn't escort, but I love her dearly. Kinzie Kenner (candystrippers never looked like her and her outfit) Randi Wright (my bud) - BTW, she no longer escorts folks, she told me that herself and is sending out cease and desistr orders to any agency/person saying she does Avy Scott (sweetest girl adn killer legs and natural boobs), got a surprise kiss from her on teh cheek in the picture, Chrsitina Noir - folks, I gotta do her soon, even if hubby is present as she stated to me, the outfit she wore, killer, Rebecca Love - ok nuff said about her except she the coolest girl to chill with, Christy Canyon - she looks better every time I see her Flower Tucci - I wish I could've spanked her ass some this time, but she was sore from a recent previous one. Carmen Luvana - Chica has it going on Nikki Benz - I gotta hear her famous screaming "o" one day in person, what a sweet girl and is more happy now that she's away from Tera Patrick (or as she called it to me, "Terriblevision") Taylor Wayne - always cool to chat with, love her choice of attires at these conventions. Jenna Haze - Sweetest thing, got a good look at her boobs due to her low shirt, no work done there. Keisha - met her for the 1st time, what a knockout. Disappointments: Stillwell Hotel - the hotel I stayed in, don't no one ever go and stay there, it's was terrible. Tylene Buck - first, to Billy, she says hi. She was downright rude to a few fans. A fan asked to take a picture w/her, the she proceeded to talk to cousin Stevie for 10-20 minutes while drinking her ice tea slowly,ignoring her line of fans, inckluding the one who asked to take a picture w/her. I agve her my picture of the 2 of us from AVN's and walked away even thoguh we talked about wrestling. She left the "to" part of the poster blank. Tera Patrick - see the section about Nikki Benz. Missed - Jassie, Alana Lipps, Utah Sweet, Taryn Thomas, Justine Jolie. BTW, the lines to see Jenna Jameson were about 2 miles long, so I didn't bother.

They were seen together in a corner booth at the Wicked party in Hollywood Saturday night.
Kid Vegas At Erotica LA
He was spotted Saturday night. I thought Kid Vegas was in prison, but no, he's been out for a month or two.
