I've been on Wellbutrin for six months. It gives me energy but diminishes my patience to the point that I use profanity. (On the mood stabilizing score, I want my shrink to switch me from lithium to something that won't bloat me and make me slobber and slur my words, but he says lithium is the gold standard of anti-bipolar drugs.)

When I walk up to Forbidden City (1718 Vine St, Hollywood) Saturday 10 p.m., I spot Monstar and Mike Moz. I'm angry because there's a crowd of porn stars and photographers inside already at the red carpet but I can't find anyone who handles press to let me in. Monstar and Moz poke fun at my prima donna antics. Finally, Dr. X, Gordon and company trundle up and I tuck myself behind them and the promoter, Gus Freelance, waves us through.

I'm immediately taken by shiksa Sheila Marie (from Acapulco, Mexico, fka Rossana De La Vega) and I interview her for 20-minutes (Video Interview). She's just finished reading Sefer Yetzirah (The Book of Splendor), a work of kabbalah (Jewish mysticism). Sheila's studied kabbalah for two years. She took two classes in it at the University of Judaism. She views the Kabbalah Centre as a money-grubbing cult.

"When I was 15, I read ...by Israel...and it affected my whole life."

I have to turn my back to the red carpet to do the interview but I keep looking behind me to note the porn stars I'm missing, such as Paige Taylor. (I catch up with her later inside the party). Here's the audio of the last 12 minutes of my chat with Sheila Marie.

As a child, she wanted to become an Egyptologist. She's retained her fascination with the country though she's never visited. Of late, Sheila's read The Egyptian Book of the Dead and The Sun of God.

A bisexual, Marie's found that her sex work (she's been in porn since January, appearing in about 20 scenes) has reduced her desire for action at home. "I more like to cuddle now."

"It has surprised me how many people in porn are health-conscious. When I got into the industry, I fell into the misperception that everybody could be categorized as a drug addict and so on."

"I put myself through college (she says she graduated from Sacramento State with a degree in Chemistry) as a fetish model. Porn seemed like a natural transition."

"There's no fetish modeling in Mexico. It's too conservative for that."

"I went to graduate school for one year at the Material Science Institute in Eugene, Oregon. It was really challenging. I loved it but I only got four a night of sleep and that was going to be the rest of my life...and I said to myself, 'Why am I doing this?' So I dropped out."

"My ambition right now is to get my website (xxxsheilamarie.com) going and get my calendar working."

She plans to do porn films for just one year but plans to stay in the sex industry for as long as she can.

"When I was doing the fetish modeling, I was transitioning into fitness modeling and when I started doing the Adult films, I would go to some gyms and there were people who recognized me and were very condescending. 'She's so cheap.' I'd hear them whispering. So I stopped going to the big muscle gyms (Golds Gym, World Gym) because everybody would recognize me."

"I see those people who are condescending towards us as being brainwashed by conservative Christian values."

Until her first breast implant surgery in 2004, Sheila, 26, was a small B cup. After surgery in 2005, she's a DD.

Sheila Marie (a resident of Los Angeles since 1993) is listed online through Pamela Peaks for escorting.

Luke: "How do your friends and family feel about your porn work?"

Sheila: "They don't know."

Luke: "How will they react?"

Sheila: "I try not to think about that, particularly my nephew who is 13 years old."

Marie does not want to venture an opinion on the building of a fence between the United States and Mexico.

Luke: "What qualities turn you in a man?"

Sheila: "I want him to be very sensitive and tender and not aggressive. Intelligent."

Luke: "Are these the type of men you go out with or do you go out with the opposite?"

Sheila: "The opposite..."

Amy Juggs is a gorgeous busty blonde who claims she only does solo still shoots. She's working on her website amyjuggs.com.

Thomas Jenkins writes on TER:

Amy Juggs was formerly Jayna of COHF fame. She formerly escorted in Canada under that name and had her own website. There were a slew of reviews on her here which all pretty much said her performance in private was nothing like her films, and that she was one to pass on. That was when she was booking @ $$$/hr. Her reviews have been pulled (my guess is so she can pick up business again) since she has changed her name and started booking through Pamela Peaks.

Juggs received one enthusiastic review on TER: "Meet and greet led to her posing and stripping for me. She was dressed in a leopard print mini dress that could barely contain her fantastic globes. Moved to the bedroom..."

Throughout the night, I don't know whether to concentrate on chatting people up or on my still photos or on my video. My Sony handycam is the newest addition to my life so I give it most of my love. For a while, I try to shoot video while simultaneously shooting stills, resulting in lousy product in both departments. If you're wondering why my Jessica Jaymes, Britney Skye video is so jerky, that's the reason.

I'm embarrassed to admit this but I had a great time Saturday night. Forbidden City teamed with beautiful women. I leave at midnight and walk over to the Jenna Presley/Mia Rose birthday party at 1643 Ivar. I can't get in. I'm told to wait for Brad. I go home instead.

JamesN writes on XPT: "Luke's got some human-breathalyzer sixth-sense about how to choose someone at their most-incapacitated/drunk or miserable/combustibly-capricious in word-choice. Do you think he can sense blood-alcohol from like, across the room and swoop in? It's not like Luke hasn't had a million other chances to interview you sober. That's what makes Luke Luke, though it's like watching a lion pick out the drunk, sick or weak from the herd and turn on his dictaphone... "

Conky writes on XPT: "Is this even appropriate for a Sunday? Those of a nervous disposition should avert their eyes from these images. They say the camera never lies. Luke's camera is a compulsive liar. It has to be. The truth is too awful to comprehend."
