Skye Blue hits the airwaves
 
The directrix tells the story of her latest (mis)adventures shooting people skydiving on Playboy Radio's Night Calls tonight. Here's the detail:
 
Skye Blue Shares Skydiving Feature Secrets on Playboy Radio.

Los Angeles, CA -- Platinum Blue CEO and President, Skye Blue, returns to
Playboy Radio Wednesday night, July 12, for Night Calls Radio as a guest
of Christy Canyon and Ginger Lynn. The show will be live from 4:00 to
7:00pm PDT through Sirius channel 198.

Skye's coming in to talk about her adventures while skydiving with porn
stars last week for an upcoming Platinum Blue feature, tentatively
called 'Airgasm.' Six porn stars took the plunge for the piece, and lots
of fucking was filmed in the hangars of the desert airfield.

Skye Blue's company has been up to quite a bit lately. Skye's hardcore
girl/girl piece 'Shock Pussy' went on the shelves this week. The
successful pro-am series 'Miami Maidens' 7 ships out this week and
Jennifer James' 'The Fed Who Loved Me' releases July 19. Platinum Blue
Distribution's 'Forbidden Fantasies' and 'Latin Extreme 2' just received
AAAA ratings this month. "Summer Slump" hasn't been evident at
Platinum Blue Productions and Distribution.

"Kinks in the armor"

An interesting observation by Greg Zeboray on Our Australian Friend's site:
 
Luke: "What do you think of AVN?"
 
Greg: "I suspect there are kinks in that armor. I bet a significant number of their advertisers are well behind on payment. If you look at the magazine, it hasn't gotten any bigger over the years. I bet that's why AVN has gotten so big in the consumer trade show business.
 
"If you want an honest to God trade publication, there's none finer than XBiz."

The possible re-direction of AVN from a magazine that delivers advertising to video stores to a consumer-show promoter is interesting. Would production companies be more or less likely to exhibit at AVN consumer shows if the magazine is further marginalized?

Adam & Eve's Phil Harvey honored

Humanitarian award honors decades of leadership, including using proceeds of Adam & Eve to fund sex education and family planning programs in underdeveloped countries. Here's the story:


President and Founder of PHE, Inc Phil Harvey Receives AASECT Humanitarian Award

Hillsborough, NC -- Phil Harvey, President and Founder of PHE, Inc., the parent company of Adam & Eve, was honored on Friday, June 30, 2006, with the AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists) Humanitarian Award.

Held in St. Louis, Missouri, at the 38th annual AASECT Conference, this four-day workshop culminated with an Awards Luncheon attended by the most respected names in sexual education.

Lloyd Sinclair, a long-time AASECT member (and Adam & Eve colleague), presented the AASECT Humanitarian Award to Harvey for his outstanding contributions to the promotion of civil, sexual and human rights.

During the awards ceremony, Sinclair emphasized the crucial turning points in Harvey’s career: from Harvey’s initial selling of condoms by mail in the U.S. in 1970, when it was still illegal to do so... to fighting for First Amendment Rights in Adam & Eve’s battle with the Justice Department (1986-1992), including a lawsuit which eliminated the “multiple, simultaneous” government prosecution strategy that annihilated a dozen other adult business... to choosing to institute a screening process for all Adam & Eve videos/DVDs, ensuring that the company provides only “sex positive” material... to Harvey’s generous contributions to programs that promote reproductive health, family planning and AIDS prevention in some of the world’s poorest countries.

“I am proud to be recognized by such a fine and compassionate group of professionals,” says Harvey. “It is an honor to be a part of your organization.”


Eva Angelina
Uh-oh

Eva Angelina is dancing this weekend, but it looks like she's unclear on the concept of where she'll be doing it. There's a difference between Hollywood and North Hollywood. Hollywood is glamour, pink stars on the sidewalks, Grauman's Chinese, street lights that sweep the sky like searchlights at a movie premiere. The venue for Ms. Angelina is in North Hollywood, in the shadow of Bob Hope Airport and near several all-night 49-cent taco restaurants. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I live a five-minute drive away from there. Press release, with appropriate emendations, follows:

EVA ANGELINA Comes to Create Havoc in (North) Hollywood This Weekend!

(Hollywood, Ca.) Superstar of Adult Entertainment, Eva Angelina returns to the
(North) Hollywood scene this weekend by taking the stage at the Blue Zebra Cabaret Gentlemen's Club!

Everything everyone has loved about Eva Angelina's on screen performances, her incredible beauty, her ferocious sexuality, her extreme energy, is going to be brought to the stage as she sexily strips down!

This July 6-8th, Eva, in front of what is sure to be a packed audience, will be turning the volume up to 11 and give her faithful legion of fans the stage show they are ecstatic for.

"I can't wait to rock (North) Hollywood! It's the 'City of Stars' so I'm going to make these shows extra special" An enthusiastic Angelina said "My shows are fun and full of energy, this time my personal goal is to top them all!"

Eva has become one of the most popular Pornstars of the last few years with her incredible sexual performances in XXX Dvd's like Wicked Pictures' "The Cure Eternal" (for which she received a nom. for Best Supporting Actress from The Temptation Awards) ," Evil Angel's "The Hacienda," & Hustler's "The Perfect Date."

The Chinese/Cuban cutie's incredible talents have earned the 21 year old a nomination for 2006 Performer of the Year from Nightmoves magazine. A remarkable feat, to be sure.

If you want to see one of the hottest girls in porn do her thing, this weekend, the Blue Zebra is the only place to be. Eva Angelina will be there.

Mainstream movies

The L.A. County Museum of Art starts a retrospective of Stanley Donen movies tonight with a screening of Singin' In The Rain and Movie Movie, and a Saturday screening of the classic Charade (where Donen out-Hitchcocks Hitchcock) and the sophisticated comedy Indiscreet. Singin' In The Rain is particularly impressive in the shared experience of a movie theatre: I saw it in 1973 at the Art Museum as part of a Great American Films retrospective, and the enthusiastic applause at the end turned into full-on insanity as co-director Gene Kelly walked on stage and received a 20-minute standing ovation.
If you haven't seen these movies on a big screen do yourself a favor and check 'em out.

A shock to the pussy

Skye Blue is getting back in the saddle, so to speak, with a new hardcore girl/girl line using foreign objects, as the phrase goes. Take a look:


Platinum Blue Jolts Porn Fans with 'Shock Pussy' 1

Chatsworth, CA -- Platinum Blue is stunning the industry July 5th, with the debut of the high voltage new hardcore girl/girl line, 'Shock Pussy'.

Skye Blue produces and directs the line herself. "I went back to my roots on 'Shock Pussy'," Blue said Monday before her upcoming skydiving shoot. "This goes back to my days working with Bruce Seven."

Directed by Skye Blue and starring Mistress Aradia, Dana DeArmond, Ariel X and Naudia Nyce, 'Shock Pussy' delivers voltage to the eyes with neon electric play, bizarre sex machines, guns, magnum bottles, pearls, lots of latex, water balloons, milk and... umbrellas? It's certainly not your average girl/girl movie.

"I love having sex with anything plastic," Ariel X said on the set. "I don't really have to tell them to do anything." Ariel gets it on with Naudia Nyce in a scene with vibrators, and fucking machines while decked out in green latex.

Naudia Nyce was stoked to do the scene with her "I've fucked this girl like a lesbian, electrocuted her, and she's asked me to stick stuff in her ass." Nyce proceeded to zap Ariel with a "violet wand" a device that delivers a scratch-like shock through neon tubes.

'Shock Pussy' starts shipping July 5th. To order 'Shock Pussy', and other exclusively distributed titles from Platinum Blue, see PlatinumBlueProductions.com, or contact Skye Blue at skye (at) platinumblueproductions.com.



I think she wore more on TV
Lori Lust is back and Janice Dickinson had her

One-time model Dickinson gives a number of models the once-over on her Oxygen TV show and comes out the better for it, according to the latest missive from Miss Lust Her Own Self.


Lori Lust on Janice Dickinson show 2x National TV

Lori Lust was on National mainstream TV twice in front of millions of viewers last 2 weeks due to the Janice Dickinson show on Oxygen TV.

She even had so much exposure that Janice even announced her whole name during the TV interview. Many compliments came from the mouth of Janice Dickinson the Super Model as she analyzed Miss Lusts entire body and presence. This was the same interview where Janice completely bashed the entire line of 20 girls before getting to Lori Lust.

What might shock the entire world is the girl who's known as the best body in the Industry actually received the stamp of approval to be on the show as one of the finalists before her director came in the room? He said she had to be over 5'7" tall. But the director said her body and beauty was amazing and she would be perfect for pinup, lingerie or fitness modeling during the interview.

We asked Lori Lust what she thought of the whole entire ordeal and she replied,

"I was so happy Janice didn't bash me like she did all the other models. One playboy model she ripped to shreds and made her cry right before she talked to me so I didn't know what to expect. I felt so honored when she picked me for the show. The crew interviewed me and my promoter like four 15 minute spots so I think I might be on the show some more times before it's over. Some even asked for my autographs and comp cards.

Janice Dickinson still said she loved my look and personality. She added that she might use me on some reality shows that she has coming up. Janice took all my information, modeling cards, plus two workout videos and gave me a hug. Kinda neat experience when you consider who she is and what she has accomplished. Either way for Janice Dickinson to like me that much, it made my day."

So Lori Lust scores high ranks with approval on National TV again. She is one of the few porn stars that has the presence and ability to please the mainstream elite. Not only her body but her personality seem to win the hearts of even the hardest critics.

It's easy to see why this girl who is like a chameleon can fit almost anywhere or in front of any audience you place her in. With this diversity adult and mainstream could almost put her anywhere. Anywhere could mean everywhere in the future as porn grows to find it's next generation of elite porn stars.

Jenna Jameson, in her working clothes
Jenna's got the buzz

Apparently that recent Playboy-buys-Club-Jenna news item sent a lot of people to find out who this Jenna Jameson chick was. More people searched Jenna than searched a number of mainstream celebrities, including recently-married Nicole Kidman and recently-a-mother Angelina Jolie. Have a look:

Ridin' high

Will Rider is adding to his portfolio. This weekend I was listening to Conway and Whitman on KLSX and they said how Rider had been there the other day (although with all the re-running on talk radio this week, "the other day" could have been months ago) and here we see that his videos are heading up the charts and with Britney Spears 3 on the horizon next month he might be able to pull off a trifecta.


WILL RIDER ENJOYS 2nd CONSECUTIVE TOP 5 SMASH HIT

(HOLLYWOOD, CA) In today’s highly competitive arena of adult DVD sales, it’s quite an accomplishment when a movie breaks into the top of the sales charts. Even more impressive is when a movie director whose name is not Jules Jordan enjoys back to back consecutive hit titles.

Such is the case for fast rising director Will Rider as he enjoys his second consecutive smash hit near the top of the sales charts with Hustler’s Barely Legal School Girls which sits in the # 5 position this week. Barely Legal School Girls follows closely on the heals of the mega smash hit movie Britney Rears 2 which peaked at #2 a few weeks ago making it one of the biggest selling movies of 2006. With his latest hit, Rider is enjoying back to back chart topping hits as a sophomore director and cementing himself as a ‘go to’ hit maker.

“Hey, this is great and I couldn’t be happier especially during this summer season with having some big smash hits. I try to have fun with every movie I direct and porn lovers of America seem to really enjoy this type of approach,” Rider stated during a lunch at a Melrose eatery.

Known mostly for his humorous slant on younger-girl sex, Rider is getting noticed across the board. “Will Rider is becoming a new prince of the young and fun stuff,” stated Drew Rosenfeld creative director of Hustler Video. “His movies are always among our biggest selling titles and we have great hopes for the third installment of the Britney Rears feature franchise. This guy just pays attention to every single detail, gets really cute girls and has a ton of fun making movies. Have you seen Britney Rears 2 yet?”

In fact Britney Rears 3, due out on August 22nd seems poised to be Will Rider’s biggest hit yet as the ever popular Hillary Scott wears the Britney Rears crown in what is rumored to be a spectacular movie of sights and sounds. With a flashback time machine journey, the disco themed Britney Rears 3: Britney Gets Shafted promises to be late summer’s breakthrough hit.

“Oh man, Britney Rears 3 is going to be a really fun movie that will be a lot of fun for everybody plus, I know the sex is the best I have ever shot. Hillary Scott is making a wonderful transition from gonzo princess to big time superstar,” Rider rejoiced.

With current back to back hit movies, another mega-smash hit title on the way, the sky’s the limit for Will Rider in his quest to direct and deliver fun loving porn for every man and woman on the planet. “Isn’t this supposed to be fun?” Rider said while working on his latest movie starring Latina beauty Jasmine Byrne which pokes some new fun at celebrity status.

Look for Barely Legal School Girls and Britney Rears 2 where fine adult movies are sold.

Joanna Angel illustrates the concept
July 5, 2006

Help put the "boob" in Booble.com

Booble.com, which has developed a logo that illustrates the "boob," is seeking volunteer models to help spread the message. Strip to the waist, hold this sign in your right hand, hold that sign in your left hand, put your tits in the middle, and voilà! Here's the detail. If you know a pair of tits that could use some exposure, tell Booble that Tod sent ya.


Booble.com Wants You to Become a Booble Girl

Los Angeles, CA - Booble.com - the Internet’s top adult search engine and porn directory – today announced it is converting its popular Booble fan sign program, in which adult models placed their OOs in between the big “B” and little “ble”, into a full fledged contest.

Beginning July 1, Booble visitors will be able to vote on their favorite Booble cover girl every month. Winning models will receive a cash prize of $500, and entry into an annual contest which will award $5,000 to the winning model. Monthly Winners are automatically entered in annual contest.

“The first two models who gave us fan signs with their awesome OOs in between were Justine Sands and Zenia Hart,” explained Booble founder and CEO Bob Smart. “Then at the AEE expo in Vegas, Joanna Angel, Jesse Jane and Shy Love helped us out, and we were off to the races.” Booble has since received over 50 fan signs from some of the most popular models in adult entertainment, including Kelly Madison, Vicky Vette, and Taylor Wane. Kick Ass Pictures, Danni.com, Matt's Models, Naughty America, and BurningAngel have all contributed multiple models and have signed on as sponsors, promising to help more models help Booble, and hopefully help themselves to prize money. “These chicks love to put the boobs in Booble,” says Smart. “It’s fun, and it’s funny. There is no better aphrodisiac than laughter.”

The contest is open to professional models over the age of 18 only – meaning: you must have a web site or cam show, or appear on a web site or cam site, or appear in at least one commercially released DVD. All models must use the fan sign provided by Booble. A winner will be selected by the users of booble.com every month. Winning models will receive a cash prize of $500, and entry into an annual contest, which will award $5,000 to the winning model. Monthly Winners are automatically entered in annual contest.

Booble currently posts all the fan signs at booble.com/fansigns, but a beta version of the new contest site, which will also be promoted from Booble.com home page, visited by nearly two million unique visitors every month, is available now at fansigns.booble.com.


She's Shy, but she's workin' on it
Hustler gets Shy

Performer Shy Love has signed a new exclusive contract with Hustler Video. The contract calls for her to both perform and direct, but details of the contract – like length and number of productions – were not disclosed. Love's first project under the contract, a vid she directed called Shy Love's Mass Destruction, is expected next month. (Betcha a buck that they emphasize "ass" on the cover.) Here's the press release:


SHY LOVES HUSTLER

(HOLLYWOOD, CA) Adult film star Shy Love has signed an exclusive contract with Hustler Video. The joint enterprise is intended to promote the Shy Love brand under the coveted Hustler name.

The stunning Shy Love is one of the industry’s most successful female performer/director combinations, and her new Hustler contract will emphasize her expertise in both areas. There are two essential components to the Hustler/Love deal: Love will appear as an exclusive Contract Star, performing in a number of Hustler titles, and she will direct her own line for LFP Video.

Jeff Hawkins, Senior Vice-President of LFP Video, comments, “I’m extremely excited to have a girl of Shy’s caliber represent Hustler. She is a quality director, and we can’t wait to work with her in all aspects.”

Love’s decision to sign the exclusive deal with Hustler Video was based chiefly on her prior relationship with the adult-industry giant. Shy says of the deal, “On a personal level, Hustler has been like family to me over the past three years. On a business level, working with an established company like Hustler will give me the opportunity to achieve more than I could by myself.”

Love, who holds a master’s degree in both accounting and taxation, is a skilled businesswoman who sees the partnership with Hustler as a means of expanding her name recognition and branding, while retaining her creative power.

Creative Director Drew Rosenfeld has a more practical reason for his enthusiasm about Shy Love joining the Hustler family. He stated, “We welcome Shy Love to the Hustler Contract Girl lineup. Shy is an extremely versatile performer, and we’re excited about capturing all her talents as we put together her first big project.”

Love’s directorial debut for LFP Video, SHY LOVE’S MASS DESTRUCTION, will be released with much anticipation in August.

The diseased minds at JM Productions have opened up the vaults and put out a video of outtakes. This looks good.
 
JM Productions to Release Porn’s Most Outrageous Outtakes
 
A hilarious look into the crazy world of pornography as only JM could deliver.

Chatsworth, CA – As anyone works behind-the-scenes in the porn world could tell you, every day is full of a unique blend of challenges, crises, and a patchwork of human drama that is unmatched in perhaps all other industries. This X-Rated insanity is rarely seen by outsiders, until now, that is. That’s because, JM Productions is set to release Porn’s Most Outrageous Outtakes, much to the pleasure of discerning perverts and porn fans everywhere.

For over 13 years now, JM Productions has been creating its unique and innovative brand of porn for consumers. Innovation in any field often poses many challenges. In porn, these creative challenges manifest themselves in countless catfights, meltdowns, bloopers, and leakage of various creepy bodily fluids. This is certainly stuff the whores (aka ‘porn stars’) don’t want you to see. But thankfully, JM’s cameras have been rolling and have captured it all for your viewing pleasure!

Porn’s Most Outrageous Outtakes contains over 2 hours of the most insane footage you’ll ever see from the sets of JM’s extremely popular series including American Bukkake, Gag Factor, Attention Whores, Lesbian Bukkake, White Trash Whore, and many more.

Each segment is preceded by an insightful and enlightening introduction from director Jim Powers into the circumstances surrounding the video clips. “We have gone through the immense JM video archive and selected only the most intense and hilarious moments we’ve ever lensed,” explains Powers, “Shooting porn is a truly fucked up lifestyle and a lot of the fans don’t realize what kind of drama goes on at these shoots. Now they can get a glimpse of what this life is like without having to worry about being beaten to death by a whore’s angry boyfriend.”

Porn’s Most Outrageous Outtakes will have a tremendous appeal to casual fans of porn that are not yet familiar with JM, as well as those already familiar with the company’s brand of hardcore filth. The DVD hits the streets on July 10th. For more information or to acquire your copy please visit Jerkoffzone.com on the web!

Is that a strap-on, or are you just glad to see me?
Quandary

Black Widow turns the tables on anal sex, giving the female performers strap-ons and having the guys take it up the caboose. The sound you hear is brains grinding as people ask themselves "If a guy takes it up the ass from a chick, is it gay?" No answers here, but if you want to look at it to help you make up your mind...

Black Widow's Pegging 101 an Education in Anally-Receptive Men
 
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Pegging 101, in stores now from Black Widow Productions, features dildo packing femme fatales and is an introductory course to an anal movie of a different kind.
 
Starring Georgia Peach, Tyla Wynn, Kinzie Kenner, Jeanie Marie, Vixen and Annie Cruz, Pegging 101 also features a cast of male newcomers, including John Bone, Scott, Antwon and Tom Dong.
 
Jeffery Warren, director of the title, said he stumbled onto the term pegging -- referring to men who enjoy anal sex from women with strap-ons -- while doing the initial preproduction work of the title.
 
"I've seen pegging in a scene here and there in a few different movies, but never an entire title devoted to it until now," Warren said. "The guys are all-new, and I recruited them from Web sites that pegging enthusiasts frequent. The girls also really seemed to like it - they had an opportunity to work out all their frustrations and be on the giving end of an anal scene for once, rather than the receiving."
 
Pegging 101 adds another original title to Black Widow's lineup, Lisa, head of sales for the company, said.
 
"There's definitely a market for Pegging 101 and adult product today is all about catering to as many different fans as you can with as wide range of a catalog as a company can gather," she said. "While many companies are churning out the same titles everyone's seen, Black Widow will put out innovative DVDs for adult consumers."

What it's all about
 
Two hundred and thirty years ago, this statement against tyrrany was signed, declaring to the world that we had had quite enough of the colonial leadership and we were going to strike out on our own.
 
This would be a good day to read it.
 
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
 
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
 
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
 
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
 
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
 
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
 
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
 
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
 
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
 
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
 
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
 
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
 
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
 
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
 
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
 
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
 
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
 
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
 
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
 
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
 
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
 
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
 
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
 
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
 
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
 
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
 
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
 
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
 
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
 
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
 
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred. to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
 
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Stormy gets Black Widow for her mainstream repping

Wicked Pictures contract performer/director Stormy Daniels has signed with Black Widow's for mainstream gigs. There certainly ought to be a demand for a busty blonde who is okay with getting naked on camera. Here's the press release:

Stormy Daniels Signs With Black Widow Talent for Mainstream Hollywood Work

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Stormy Daniels, award winning Wicked contract performer and writer/director, inked a deal with Black Widow Talent to represent her mainstream casting interests.

Daniels appeared in the mainstream film The 40 Year-Old Virgin and is an accomplished actor in the adult genre, garnering a Best Supporting Actress – Video award for her role in Camp Cuddly Pines Powertool Massacre. She also contributed to the title's Best Screenplay – Video win.

"I am looking forward to working with Black Widow to help expand my mainstream exposure," Daniels said. "I believe that this will be a successful and mutually beneficial partnership and I cannot wait to get started!"

Though Black Widow Talent will only represent Daniels for mainstream casting, the opportunities she hopes to develop through the company represents how Ric Williams, president of the company and a former mainstream Hollywood agent, plans on differentiating his talent agency from others in the XXX industry by offering adult and non-adult work.

Williams said, "Stormy is a great addition to Black Widow Talent, and we are very appreciative of the confidence she has put in us. She will be our flag carrier as we educate the mainstream on the advantage of using adult stars with their huge fan bases in mainstream movies, TV and commercials."

For more information, contact Ric Williams at ric (at) bwtalent.com or visit www.talentbw.com for adult casting needs; Black Widow Talent's mainstream site, www.bwtalent.com, is under development.

Vivid ankles LFP, inks new distrib pact with Pulse

Vivid's distribution agreement with LFP ends August 1 and Vivid's new distributor will be Pulse, led by former LFP honcho Jim Kohls. Vivid's sales staff will set up shop at Pulse as well. Press release follows:


VIVID ENTERTAINMENT SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH PULSE DISTRIBUTION

For Better Or For Worse Copyright © 2006 Lynn Johnston
Resonance
 
I love comic strips. I have ever since I was a small child. One of the better comic strips has been For Better Or For Worse, done in a no-nonsense style by Lynn Johnston, up in Canada, which you never notice until somebody writes a cheque. Johnston has gone against the grain in her strip, most notably in having her characters age in more-or-less real time, in direct contrast to most strips, which fix their characters at a certain age and keep them there forever. (Dennis the Menace turns six every year, and has since 1950.)
 
In the strip here, from last week, Johnston outdoes herself. The young woman is Elizabeth, the older daughter of the Patterson family. She was teaching at a remote village of what we used to call "Indians" and now call "Native Americans" but this is Canada so I don't know what the term is, and she has decided not to renew her teaching contract so she is leaving. The village is throwing a farewell ceremony for her.
 
Years ago -- and I mean, like, 20 years ago -- Elizabeth and her older brother Michael spent most of their time butting heads, as siblings do. In these fights, Michael would address her as "Lizard-breath," a typical adolescent pun on her given name.
 
Look at the look on her face. She must have told that to Jesse at one time.
 
This is why I love comic strips. They burrow into your memory and stay there, and years later they reward you.

Thar be pirates ahead

Plumbing the Depps

After leaving the Convention Center Sunday afternoon, I treated myself to dinner at the Pantry and while I was eating I thought "Why not head down to Anaheim?" I sailed down the 5 and rolled into the parking structure -- managed to find a good space on the third lap -- and took the tram to the Park.

The people in front of me were AP holders and one was furtively chatting on her cell phone. "The line starts at Big Thunder? Okay." I asked "Is Pirates open?" and she raised a finger to her lips and said "Shhhhh. Yes."

I took a shortcut through the shops on the west side of Main Street and almost took the direct route to Pirates through Adventureland when I saw signs that said "Keep to the right/Adventureland, New Orleans Square, Critter Country access ONLY." Doesn't say "Pirates." Hmmm.

Three Cast Members with clipboards were blocking the entranceway to Frontierland's stockade....

So I cut through Pioneer Mercantile, and walked into a deserted Frontierland, joining the line in front of the Mark Twain dock. The line is disorganized, with teenagers gleefully cutting in and one particularly obnoxious fat oaf with his designer shirt and two self-mobile lifestyle accessories in tow yelling into his cell phone "I CAN'T SEE YOU. YOU'RE BY THE SIGN?" when he might as well say "I'M GOING TO CUT IN FRONT OF ALL YOU PEONS BECAUSE I'M TOO IMPORTANT TO WAIT AND I DESERVE TO GET IN BEFORE YOU DO."

Once we passed under the bridge the line went fast and we were in the boats in no time. I snagged a front-row seat. The 10-year-olds in the row behind me were real excited -- One pointed out the control tower, which has been in exactly the same place since 1967: "That thing hanging over the ride? It's new!" -- and the ride began.

The boats were backed up, inching through the archways before the first drop, and that drop happens in total darkness. When you level off, I noticed the first change -- no vocals in the familiar song. Just instrumental. The skeleton tableaux are pretty much the same way they were, although they have been tidied. A skeleton of a parrot has been added to the Captain's Quarters. In the tunnel leading to the bombardment, there is a waterfall effect, projected on a mist screen, where Bill Nighy's Davy Jones warns you that there's trouble ahead.

The fort bombardment is pretty much the same, although Paul Frees' hearty anonymous pirate has been replaced by a figure of a more-diffident Geoffrey Rush. The Mayor getting dunked in the well is being asked where Jack Sparrow is, and here it gets interesting: Jack is standing right behind them, between the Mayor-dunking and the Bride Auction. Another Jack Sparrow figure is hiding in the barrel behind the Pooped Pirate, who is now holding a treasure map which Jack is trying to read.

The Jack Sparrow Audio-Animatronic figures are amazing, fully animated and lifelike. You'll think Johnny Depp is there. We finally hear the familiar lyric when we pass the trio-with-donkey, and it's the same familiar voice track.

There is one more Jack Sparrow figure, in a small stagey area where the two pirates used to be trying to pull the treasure up the hill. He's at ease, rocking back and forth in a chair, surrounded by gold treasure, a gold chalice in his hand, musing and saying things like "C'mon in, plenty of treasure for everybody."

A worthwhile improvement to the long-standing ride.

This was a sentimental journey for me. Long ago, on a family trip to the park, I saw the sign on the storefront that said "Pirates of the Caribbean" and walked into the soft opening of the original ride. This last weekend, almost 40 years later, I did it again.

I was not thinking of a clit stimulator when I first read this

A long time ago, a friend of mine set out to restore the complete three-hour version of the 1954 George Cukor-directed Judy Garland vehicle A Star Is Born. He spent weeks searching the film vaults under Warner Bros., finding a film believed lost and an unused print of a Bette Davis classic, but not A Star Is Born. He did, however, find a complete soundtrack, and with judicious use of stills and clips from the Warner Bros. stock footage library, restored the missing visuals to the film.

In one part of the film, James Mason, playing dissipated movie star Norman Maine, is dispatched to a sanitarium to dry out and he is accompanied by a mountain of a bodyguard who he introduces as "Cuddles, my soclal secretary."

So when I saw this new doodad called "Cuddles" I thought of this big hulking guy trying to keep booze out of the hands of a drunk movie star. Try to avoid thinking of this as you read about this new stimulator from Doc Johnson.

Doc Johnson’s New Cuddles™ Makes Clit Stimulation During Sex Easy

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – Women everywhere will simply adore Doc Johnson’s Cuddles™, a new novelty that makes it easier for men to stimulate the clitoris during sex.

Cuddles™ is a vibrating soft jelly cock ring with an attached soft jelly clit bumper featuring rows of soft nubs that press against the clitoris during vaginal intercourse. A small vibrating bullet is inserted into the clit bumper, which sits atop the cock ring section of the novelty for enhanced sensation during insertion.  

Cuddles™ is equipped with a matching remote control that allows the user to adjust the bullet from a soft steady purr to an energetic buzz with the simple twist of a dial.

Chad Braverman, Doc Johnson’s product design and licensing manager, expects men will be just as pleased with Cuddles™. “Men will barely notice that they are wearing it,” he said. “The bullet is placed in a position that maximizes clitoral vibration, but does not impede function or produce an awkward sensation for the male.”

Jake Malone gets his wings

Director joins Stagliano's crew, under the usual Evil Angel you-own-it-we-distribute-it deal, which puts the money in the pockets of the director-producers instead of The Man. Here's the info:


Jake Malone Finds Home with Evil Angel
 
Director Jake Malone has officially started his own production company which will be distributed through Evil Angel Productions.

Malone will have ownership of his product, which is a key trademark of the distribution system of Evil Angel. Company owner John Stagliano knows from experience that if a director or producer owns the product, he’s going to put 100% of his effort and personality into it. The customer will notice the difference, and both the director and the distribution company will benefit from consumer loyalty.

Stagliano’s praise of Jake is evident. “Jake Malone is the most underrated director in porn today. I’m really happy to have Manuel Ferrara and Jake back together. They have done incredible work for each other. Jake uses props, wardrobe, personality and rough sex as well as anyone I’ve ever seen.”

For his part, Jake is excited about his new production family. “I’ve always wanted to be at Evil Angel. It was what I always aspired to. Of course the ownership of product is a really great thing. Also, I know that they care about the directors and the quality of the product that the directors do. I am looking forward to being really creative with all of my scenes, and a fresh new start.”

Karen Stagliano, head of PR at Evil Angel, says that the first time that John introduced her to Jake, he told of how the first scene that Jake directed was of Kitty Yung, Tiffany Mynx and Randy West. That scene went on to win an award for Best Anal Scene. “Jake is one of the most creatively perverted people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. I can’t have a single conversation with him without hearing about a new idea he has that he wants to direct. I can’t wait to be around that kind of energy on a daily basis.”

Evil Angel is home to industry-leading directors John Stagliano, Joey Silvera, John Leslie, Belladonna, Justin Slayer, Rocco Siffredi, Christoph Clark, Jonni Darkko, Nacho Vidal, Erik Everhard, Manuel Ferrara and Harmony.

My friend Roger T. Pipe clicked on a recent link I posted about the so-called "terrorist cell" busted by our valiant Homeland Security Department (in one of those rare moments when they weren't handing out seven-figure checks to Halliburton) and he didn't much agree with it, which you can see here.

I'm glad of it.

Let's review:

Roger clicked on the link.

He read the story.

He thought about it.

He didn't agree with it.

He read it and he thought about it. That is more than fair, and all I can ask. I don't expect everybody to agree with me, or with everything I link to. (Sometimes I think it's a little far-out. But interesting and food for thought.) But I make it a point to link to stuff that other sites don't link to, to pass along information that doesn't turn up elsewhere. I thank Roger for giving that BuzzFlash piece a fair hearing, and thoughtfully disagreeing.


Uh....

Publisher Lyle Stewart passes at 83

Lyle Stewart, whose breakthrough maverick publishing career set the blueprint for lesser publishers, like the one I refer to as "Lyle Stewart with tits," died over the weekend of a heart attack. Stewart pioneered the exploitation book, publishing The Sensuous Woman by "J" and The Anarchist Cookbook. He sold off his namesake publishing company in 1990, and started another, using a clause in the non-compete agreement to reissue The Anarchist Cookbook. Stewart was a true champion of the First Amendment, and his courage and commitment will be missed.

Lethal Hardcore reels 'em in as they turn 18

Stoney Curtis and company gets close to the legal limit, and there is obviously a generation gap here because when I was a teenager if somebody said he was a porn director and called himself "Charlie Manson" that would end the conversation right there in a cloud of dust as the other person would run away as fast as they could. Times have changed.


Five Females Go Pro for Porn in Lethal Hardcore's Just Turned 18 #4
 
CHATSWORTH, Calif. — Partying with more than just cake and candles, Lethal Hardcore celebrates five females who've just become legal in the latest volume of its new teen-themed line, Just Turned 18 #4.
 
Directed by Charlie Manson and featuring Ava Rose, Amanda West, Celena Cross, Jeannie Marie and Allison Pierce, Just Turned 18 #4, in stores now, continues Lethal Hardcore's tradition of shooting the freshest female talent for its swelling legions of fans.
 
"I like the girls in my movies to be young and nasty," Stoney Curtis, owner of Lethal Hardcore, said. "These girls don't disappoint and we shot over three hours of footage, five scenes -- and another bonus scene -- that made it into this volume of Just Turned 18. Anal, ATMs and gapers –- it's all here for the guys looking for hard XXX gonzo entertainment."
 
Supersize My Snatch 2, Lethal Hardcore's upcoming title, features Tiffany in her first anal scene, as well as Mia Knight, Crystal Jordan, Crystal Clear and Isabella Ice.
 
"We have the girls matched up with some big boys – Jack Napier and Sledge Hammer among a few others," Curtis said. "It's just the thing for any perv who likes to watch white girls get it on with hung black guys."

Random Notes From A Red Notebook: Party at The Day After

I went over to Sonny Malone's pied-à-terre, where I had been graciously invited to park my car instead of paying the $20 for parking in the lot... We walked over to The Day After, chatting all the way about Recent Developments In The Adult Industry... First person we run into is Roy Karch, also a Hollywood resident also within walking distance... Steve Nelson... Monstar. Ben English... Jeff Mullen, working the crowd, says "I can't get drunk tonight, I have to work an all-day concert on Northern California tomorrow"... Anh from Wanted List, one of the sponsors of tonight's soirée... Photographer Gordon says "There's too many Todds here," points out director Todd Todd... Cassie Courtland walks in with Ginger Lear, as fireworks go off over the Hollywood Bowl... Shari from All Media Play tries to guide somebody in by cell phone... Todd Todd introduces me to Ava Rose... Tyra Banxxx, who I thought was Marie Luv. Oops... New talent Moxxie Maddron, who professionally spelled her name for me when I asked...

Megan from Shane's World... Tee Reel... Sophie Dee and a contingent of talent... There's a guy standing next to me who looks like Tony Bennett, but he probably isn't... Roy Karch walks in with new talent Kim... Gia Jordan... Cherokee, who is a lot shorter than I remembered. I have to raise my camera over my head to get a picture... Danny from Wanted List, with Hannah Harper... A dark-haired dead-eyed model type struts by. I refer to her as "prematurely blasé," which cracks up Monstar, standing next to me... Brian Surewood. Cousin Stevie, amiably flipping the bird as he walks past the photographers... "It's going to get going at about 11:15," Jeff says, as he stages a scene with photographers taking pictures of a performer, calling "J-Ho" as she walks by... I finally get into the party, having done my extra bit for Jeff's camera... I cell-phone Sonny from the deafening club. She's outside, in the smoking area... I find her sitting on a low couch, by the door, next to Destiny Summers and Alexis Silver, who I recognize from my days at Adam Presents Amateur Porn and Adam Black Video Illustrated.... Alexis and I talk literature for a few minutes... Master Dominic. Brian Gross... Megan from Shane's world buttonholes me, tells me I should interview her new contract girl. I allow that this is not a good time, with all the loud music. She agrees, nodding... The exquisite Katy Zvolerin, from Adam & Eve, who I update about Recent Developments In The Adult Industry... Sunny Lane, just in from shows in New York and Florida. "I met my fans, I always like to do that"...



Hannah Harper
"M-O-X-X-I-E M-A-D-D-R-O-N"
Cherokee
Denize K
Stretch Hummer
Cousin Stevie lets his finger do the talking
Gia Jordan, Sophie Dee
Emily Evermoore
Roy Karch, new talent Kim
"J-HO! J-HO!!"
Layla Jade, newly brunette
Lisa Marie, who I always think I know until she looks at me blankly and I realize she looks like Serenity, who would recognize me in a heartbeat... Ashley Blue and Hillary Scott... Sonny and I get into a chat with Denize K... Nick East, who I only seem to run into accidentally... A dark-haired big-eyed waif walks up to me, looks up expectantly. "You don't know me, do you?" she asks. I peer into her eyes a moment, then recognize Layla Jade. She looks entirely different, but just as good as she ever did... Bob Christian from Adam & Eve walks by. A couple of years ago, he joined The Lovely Mrs. Hunter, Luc Wylder, Alexandra Silk and myself at an evening at the Magic Castle, a few blocks from here. I wonder if he knows how close we are... It doesn't matter, neither of us is wearing a tie... Holly Randall sees me walking by, grins, waves... Stephanie Swift... I get into a deep coinversation about literature with Scott Fayner. His big book is The Great Gatsby, mine is In Cold Blood... Kayla Quinn, looking good in an almost-not-there black ensemble.... At 1:50 large, loud bouncers push the crowd toward the stairs... Sonny and I walk back to my car, trading notes about who we saw.

It begins.


Is the fix in?

Our Esteemed President is trying to get Congress to give him a line-item veto. The line-item veto, a pet project of right wingers that Ronald Reagan managed to get as a law until the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional in 1998. Maybe Our Esteemed President knows what will happen if this Supreme Court faces that question.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060624/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush


Our Esteemed President: L'etat, c'est moi

Looks like Bush has decided to overrule the Supreme Court's decision that communities can exercise eminent domain to seize any property they want for any purpose, public or private. I find this interesting when one considers how he became a rich by getting a Texas city to condemn private property so a consortium of rich people – that Our Esteemed President was frontman for – could build a stadium.

David Lord. No matter what you may have heard before.
Lord to Bad Seed

Director David Lord, noted for his masterful touch with a DVD, moves to more-direct production duties with a new directing pact with Bad Seed, the harder division of Adam & Eve. Good for him, and good for them. Press release follows:


Award-Winning Director David Lord To Direct New Bad Seed DVD Line

Van Nuys, CA  Bad Seed DVD, the new gonzo production company distributed through industry giant Adam & Eve, is pleased to announce it has signed award-winning director David Lord for two exclusive lines of Bad Seed titles.
 
Set to shoot June 19th and the 25th, these two new lines are titled, ‘Fresh Young Things,’ with all-new faces, and ‘The Naturals,’ featuring women with 100% natural breasts. Stars Jenna Presley, Vixen, Liv Wilder, Lexi Love and Riley Shy are scheduled for ‘Fresh Young Things,’ and Amy Reid, Sativa Rose, Carly Kabb, Sara Stone and Gabriella Banks are scheduled for ‘The Naturals.’
 
Lord, an industry veteran since 1988, got his start with Private USA. His sales background led the way to the launch of DVDs with Generation XXX and DVD production with Wicked Pictures. After winning his first major award for the production of ‘Euphoria,’ he started directing at Evil Angel. His award-winners ‘Vault of Whores’ and ‘Tales from the Crack’ are still fan and media favorites today.

I have been lucky to work with some of the best, most creative people in the adult industry,’ says Lord. ‘My goal is to take today¹s best performers and create the edgiest, most compelling sex scenes I can for Bad Seed.’
 
Bad Seed Producer MAC says, ‘We are ecstatic to be working with David Lord. He has made a name for himself in our industry and are sure he will take us to new levels of creativity and heat.’


Lori Lust, whippin' that bod into shape
Lori Lust drops a line

The blonde hardbody keeps us apprised of the ins and outs of her career, with pictures. Here's the latest report from Lori:
 
Lori Lust shoots Hustler and Sex Z Pictures features

The best body in the Industry had three four-stared videos in in a row. Now to top that her last two movies to just come out Cheating Wives Tales #2 and Hustlers Desperate Housewhores #5 are getting great reviews for her acting as well as her new improved looks from fans.
 
The girls pre-nomination for performer of the year also jolted the Industry. So much good news so fast that she's going to do two features for Hustler and Sexy Pictures within the month just for starts.
 
Craig Stevens her promoter landed her those two gems.
 
The shooter has followed her career since she set foot in California and thought her acting would fit nicely as well her looks. He also loved her personality.
 
Could you imagine a Sex Z Pictures DVD release party hosted by Lori Lust. Wow...
Lets cross our fingers because that would definitely be a mega huge event of the year.

So if you had one question to ask Lori what would it be?
 
One fan asked her what was it about her last two movies that just came out that turned her on so much? What made her so horny? Lori Replied
 
"I'm so comfortable on set. They gave me so many compliments that I couldn't wait to get onto of them and F--- their brains out.
 
Lately my shoots seem very enjoyable. I can't wait to rip off all my clothes and let them ravish me.
 
I don't know if it's my new body or my confidence?
 
I really love playing with the male and female talent.
 
Having orgasms on set is also a thing to look forward to. The Cheating Wives tales I was coming so much that Mario Rossi stopped the shoot three times to wipe the cum off. "
 
Lori Lust seems to be growing in so many directions that her fan base is exploding. But no one ever thought that another one might be her appetite for sex? Could you imagine being the lucky one who actually gets paid to be with this mega babe on set.
 
They must of felt like they robbed a bank or just won the lottery. Either way these two companies will definately profit on this gem of a girl.

Oops

It has been called to my attention that Kelly Madison, whose appearance at the Babes and Aces poker tournament Thursday is mentined below, is the Danni.com Girl of the Month. In order to atone for this oversight, I have posted a big picture of Ms. Madison culled from the Danni.com website and recommend you go over to Danni.com and check her out at once.


NOT starring Erica Gavin as a band member
If you don't know, make it up

The other day I was reading the knockoff of an Erica Gavin interview – part of 20th Century Fox's promo push for their two-disc DVD release of the Russ Meyer classic Beyond the Valley of the Dolls – on the Major Adult Industry Magazine website and I found this little howler:

The movie featured Gavin as a member of an all-girl rock band which goes to Hollywood to find its fortune, but ends up falling under the influence of a perverted music mogul, nymphomaniacal porn stars and an assortment of sex-crazed characters.


It's not in the interview. It's not in the movie either. The three members of the all-girl rock band were Dolly Read (Miss May 1966), Cynthia Myers (Miss December 1968), and Marcia McBroom (Not a Playmate, but still quite attractive). Erica Gavin isn't in the band, she plays a clothing designer named Roxanne who is also a predatory lesbian who seduces Myers.

Where the hell the writer got the "member of an all-girl rock band" bullshit is beyond me. I think he made it up.

Add Russ Meyer

Russ Meyer's company, RM Films, is discounting his DVDs to $24.95 if you buy two or more before July 15. I recommend Supevixens, Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens, and Up! They also have Vixen with Erica Gavin and Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, which I think is way overrated and it's in black and white, which is usually a plus but for Russ Meyer it's a drawback, but Mark Kulkis loves it and it does have a lot of fans. Click here for detals: http://www.rmfilms.com/


Add Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

I bought a copy at Tower, thinking that Costco would never have it in their stock. Costco not only had it, they offered it in a twofer with Valley of the Dolls. So I have an extra sealed copy of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. If you want it, it's yours for $20, same as anyplace else. I'll have it with me at PSK tonight.


Add PSK

Flexx from KSEX will be hosting tonight at the weekly convocation at Sardo's where the Porno-American Community can mix and mingle with fans and the occasional slumming mainstream star. I still think I saw George Lucas there once.


"PJ" Flexx to Host This Week's Porn Star Karaoke
Sardo's and the popular KSEXradio Host Invite One and All

BURBANK, CA -- You've probably heard of DJ Flexx--the popular record spinner from Washington DC seen on MTV, BET and heard on radio stations and seen in clubs nationwide. Good. Well, he won't be at Sardo's tomorrow night. But in the interest of bullshit in marketing, Porn Star Karaoke [PSKclub] has come up with the next best thing...PJ Flexx. Yes, that's right, Porn Jockey Flexx from KSEXradio will be on the mic firing up the crowd, giving away free porn and keepin' porn fans satisfied with a wild Tuesday night.

PSKclub is the longest running weekly adult industry event in the history of the Jizz Biz as it nears it's THREE YEAR anniversary. The sexy singing evening got it's start when Wankus of KSEX, Konnie from DVSX and adult star Aria went out for a drink and some karaoke. Within weeks, Sardos Bar was jammin with big named stars like Ginger Lynn, Tera Patrick, Stormy Daniels, Tyler Faith, Stephanie Swift, Ron Jeremy, Monica Mayhem, Britney Skye and Kendra Jade--just to name a few. Mainstream stars are also known to pop in for the fun some of which include Tommy Lee, Mickey Rourke, Ellen DeGeneres, John Goodman and musical group Cypress Hill, to touch on some of the many.

Join PJ Flexx, Kristen and all your adult industry peers this Tuesday night at 9pm at Sardo's Bar, 259 N Pass Avenue in Burbank. Early arriving industry folks can take advantage of reserved seating on a first come first serve basis.

Molly Ivins: Was Tom DeLay the moral center for the Republicans?
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20060619_ivins_republicans/


Arthur Franz, 1920-2006
900-year-old dead actor

You may not know the name Arthur Franz. I was a big fan of his work and when I saw the obit in the L.A. Times I thought it was Eduard Franz and I thought "Isn't he dead already?" (I was right, Eduard Franz died in 1983.)

Arthur Franz was a likeable second-banana actor who was a featured player in the postwar dying days of the studio system and then got a lot of work in TV. He worked a lot with director Edward Dmytryk, and Dmytryk's blacklisting probably didn't help him any. Franz gave a memorable performance in Dmytryk's 1952 drama The Sniper, playing a young man who obsessively shoots people with a high-powered rifle. The film used its San Francisco location well and Franz was impressive in his starring role as a victim of his own urges, but it dated badly, with Richard Kiley as a glib psychiatrist who breezily discusses the nature of psychological problems with bemused police detective Adolphe Menjou over chop suey at a Chinese restaurant. The tortured exposition may have been necessary in 1952, but by the time I saw it in a film noir seminar at CSUN in the '70s it was laughable. He was also in a blink-and-you-miss-it supporting role in Dmytryk's The Caine Mutiny.

He was 86.

The "offensive" logo
Booble out in front

A car sponsored by adult search engine Booble wins a race in Kansas despite the opposition of some people who found the company logo – with its line-drawing of bare breasts – offensive. Here's the story:


On Your Mark... Get Set... Booble Racing!
Booble Team Wins Inaugural Race at Heartland Park Topeka

Los Angeles, CA -- Booble.com – the Internet’s top adult search engine and porn directory – is taking to the race courses of America with Booble Racing. Started in 2005, Peter Zekert of Zekert Racing met with the owners of Booble to discuss advertising on one of his race cars. After meeting with Booble, both companies agreed to run 2005 with the single Booble race car and the Booble Racing web site. And Booble Racing was born.

Peter Zekert, driver of the Booble Racing Nissan 200SX, won Sunday's Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) GTLite race at Heartland Park Topeka, a huge win for the team. In qualifying, Zekert and team Booble placed second in GTLite with a time of 1:59.750 on the smooth 14 turn racing course. At the start of Sunday's race, Zekert made his move going into the first turn and opened a three car length lead over the pole position driver. Zekert and Team Booble were home free, but unaware of their lead. "The radios were not working and I couldn't tell how big of a lead I had," stated Zekert. "I kept pushing the car hard thinking that the other driver would come on strong. If I knew how big of a lead I had, I would have been easier on the car. But we won and that's the important thing!" This fall, Heartland Park Topeka will host the SCCA National Championship Runoff Races where Zekert and team Booble hope to contend for the 2006 GTLite National Championship.



Good thing they didn't use this logo, featuring Taylor Wane.
Peter describes the initial hysteria of Booble racing. “A week before my first race as the Booble car, I got calls from the SCCA headquarters and from the Executive Steward telling me I could not run as the car appeared in the web site. Stewards (the primary law enforcement agent at the racetrack) were at my trailer at 7am Saturday morning telling me I could not run.”

But Peter fought back, stating the following rule: ADVERTISEMENTS AND GRAPHICS, Advertising and graphics (names, symbols and logos) may be displayed on cars provided they are in good taste and do not interfere with identification marks and SCCA logos.

Finally the Chief Steward, Ken Patterson, took Peter aside and said, "I personally don't care what you do, but I'm getting a lot of heat from upstairs to find a way to keep you off the track. If you could just cover the nipples then I could say that I kept the breasts off the track". Peter decided to cover the nipples with white vinyl and took off racing. “That afternoon, two of the girls/women who work in the hospitality area came over and checked out the Booble logo. Unbeknownst to me, they snuck out to WalMart, got some bicycle streamers and came back that night and made tassels for the front boobs and took black tape, covered the side boobs and wrote the word "Censored."

Throughout the 2005 season, every chief steward made a personal trip to Peter’s camp to tell him he couldn't run. Every time, he raced. Peter took Booble racing to 13 races in 2005, including the year-end championship Runoffs on Speed TV.

In 2006 Booble Racing expanded, adding racers and cars all over the country. Recently, Peter has worked with a few of the series promoters and marketing officials, as well as the drivers themselves, who run in the Drift series and Formula D. With the new Fast and The Furious movie featuring Drifting, Booble is on target to bring the Booble Racing minds to yes another part of the racing world. “We have found that Booble Racing can cross over the entire gamut of racing,” says Peter. “We are working hard to give the people what they want: Booble Race Cars.”
About Booble.com:

Booble was built because surfing for adult content using mainstream search engines can often lead to viruses, spyware, credit card scams, and endless pop-up ads. This is because unethical online pornographers know how to manipulate search results, or buy their way to the top, regardless of the quality or value. Booble can't be fooled because each of its 10,000+ listings have been edited and classified by hand. The listings are not manipulated by the artificial intelligence of the major search engines. In addition, Booble's listings often contain pricing information and, where applicable, Booble directs users to unbiased reviews of adult sites and products. Best of all, Booble is a 100% free to adult consumers.

Adult DVD Now concurs stating, "I've seen thousands of adult movies in my career, and very few get my pulse going, but 'Control 3' is a different story. Each scene starts out as a big tease. The performers play hard to get, strutting their stuff, all the while luring you in. When they finally start interacting with each other, you are more than ready to watch, totally captivated by their erotic moves. The performers are gorgeous, as expected with any D.P. feature and the quality of the production is a perfect 10! And the sex, well, it's off the charts. This is a movie you won't want to miss."

Candida Royalle
Candida Royalle to participate in women's-filmmaking panel in NYC this weekend

The veteran performer-turned-producer-director will be involved in a panel about women's experiences in filmmaking – and I'll bet she has some stories about the '70s Golden Age – as part of a festival arranged by writer/activist Eve Ensler, and if the name sounds familiar you're right. Here's the detail, a lot of it:

CANDIDA ROYALLE on PANEL for:
UNTIL THE VIOLENCE STOPS: NYC FILM FESTIVAL TO EMPOWER WOMEN

NEW YORK, NY - On Saturday, June 17th, at 12:30 PM Eve Ensler will introduce the Women and Media Responsibility Panel as part of a 3-day event in connection with her V-Day festival, UNTIL THE VIOLENCE STOPS. The panel will discuss important issues impacting women in filmmaking such as whether women working in media are mandated to tell certain stories, or whether art should really be just about art. Panel participants include Academy-Award-Winning actress Kathy Bates, Monster’s Ball producer Lisa Cortes of Lee Daniels Entertainment, President and CEO of the Museum of Television & Radio Pat Mitchell (formerly PBS President & CEO), Executive Director of Women Make Movies Debra Zimmerman, Program Director of HBO’s Young Filmmaker’s Lab Stephanie Walters-Williams, Film and Television Producer Linda Gottlieb, Co-founder of Feminists for Free Expression and women’s erotica pioneer Candida Royalle, Playgirl Magazine writer Jamye Waxman, and LaSalle-Holland Managment Production principal Lillian LaSalle. Abiola Abrams, an emerging filmmaker who has hosted shows for HBO and NBC will moderate the discussion and Prudence Heyert, an actress who recently starred in M. Night Shyamalan's filmic Oscar® night commercial, will field audience questions.

As a community based event in connection with V-Day’s festival Until the Violence Stops: NYC, Abiola Abrams and Prudence Heyert will co-direct and curate Until the Violence Stops: NYC Women’s Film Festival. A 3-day event from June 16th-18th at The Museum of the City of New York and The Museum of Television & Radio, the fest has been billed as "the film festival for vagina warriors." Their mission is to aid in stopping violence against women and girls worldwide by showcasing diverse films and programs– documentaries, narratives, comedies and dramas, that empower women or increase awareness of violence. This film festival is presented in association with The Guerrilla Girls, HBO’s Young Filmmaker’s Lab, Tribeca Film Festival, LUNAFEST, Women Make Movies, The Museum of the City of New York and The Museum of Television & Radio; and features a panel with such luminaries as Hollywood actress Kathy Bates.

For two weeks in June, UNTIL THE VIOLENCE STOPS: NYC will take over the city, putting women, their empowerment and their safety on center stage in our culture and community. Produced by V-Day, the festival will feature marquee events with performances by celebrated actors, original works by noted authors, community events throughout the five boroughs, a citywide messaging campaign, and a run through Prospect Park. UNTIL THE VIOLENCE STOPS: NYC will issue a call to action to all New Yorkers, and to the world: Demand an end to violence against women and girls and become an active participant in ending it.

The UTVS: NYC Women’s Film Festival opens on Friday June 16th, 2006 6-9pm at The Museum of the City of New York. Playwright, performer, and Obie©-winning activist Eve Ensler introduces her compelling film What I Want My Words to Do to You (2003), an honest window into the hearts of the women inmates of New York's Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. Directed by Madeleine Gavin, Judith Katz and Gary Sunshine, the film features Ensler, Glenn Close, Marisa Tomei, Rosie Perez, Mary Alice and Hazelle Goodman. The film will be followed by a Q&A with Eve Ensler and participants in the workshop and film.

On Saturday June 17th the film festival continues at The Museum of the City of NY from 10:30am to 6pm. From 11am to 12pm award-winning urban teen female filmmakers of the HBO Young Filmmaker’s Lab introduce their films examining compelling self-esteem related topics. A brief Q&A with these young filmmakers will follow.

An important objective of the film festival is to encourage new socially-conscious media-making and so at noon LUNA®, the Whole Nutrition Bar for Women™, will sponsor The Midday Business Card Kick It Spot, a designated networking time. LUNA® also presents LUNAFEST, a series of short films by, for and about women. Onscreen during the LUNA® Networking Half Hour will be powerful images created by feminist activists The Guerrilla Girls, who aim to expose sexism, in art, film and pop culture with facts, humor and outrageous visuals, in addition to work by multimedia artist Cece Wheeler.

At 12:30pm Eve Ensler will introduce the Women and Media Responsibility Panel. The screening of films beginning at 2pm includes official selections from The Tribeca Film Festival, Women Make Movies and LUNAFEST in addition to compelling general submissions. Themes explored include feminism, body image, the beauty myth, sexuality, domesticity, honor killings, female genital mutilation, mother-daughter issues, domestic violence, politics, rape and race. As young women who create media Abrams and Heyert are proud to showcase the work of 99% female directors and "one incredible male vagina warrior." Selected films and filmmakers will be posted at www.thegoddessfactory.com.

On Father’s Day, Sunday June 18th, the film festival continues at The Museum of Television & Radio. After a small half hour reception at 1pm, the Museum will show episodes from The Simpsons, The Cosby Show, and Picket Fences that feature various father/daughter issues. The festival will then close with a 3pm screening of Until the Violence Stops (2003) introduced by Eve Ensler. This Emmy Award–winning documentary follows the grassroots impact of V-Day, an international movement to end violence against women and girls that grew out of Ensler's play, The Vagina Monologues. The film features Ensler, Rosario Dawson, Jane Fonda, Salma Hayek, Rosie Perez, and Isabella Rossellini. Directed by Abby Epstein; 2004 V-Day Productions.

Abrams and Heyert have met with resistance regarding language around the festival. "Among young women ‘feminist’ is still very much interpreted as a pejorative ’f-word.’ In addition, some are also wary of the term "vagina warrior" which V-Day defines as a woman or man committed to stopping violence against women and girls." Heyert and Abrams do not want to tell people how to think, only to think.

"We hope that this explosion of film and discussion inspires other women to continue to tell our stories. We demand that women everywhere – and we are 51% of the global population - recognize our incredible strength and stand up against violence NOW. Onward!" The film festival has even set up a myspace page to encourage youth participation and awareness. The film festival was created by emerging women who work in media including actress Carly Robins, the festival’s Project Manager, and Swaziland Peace Corps alumna Lisa Grossman, Director of Operations.

The Museum of the City of New York is located at 1220 Fifth Avenue NY, NY 10029; www.mcny.org. The Museum of Television & Radio is located at 25 West 52 Street New York, NY 10019; www.mtr.org. General Seating. Standard museum admission / donation fees apply.

Flag day

It was on this day in 1777 that the Continental Congress prescribed that the US flag have 13 stars and 13 red and white stripes – but didn't specify the layout, which is why old-timey flags had different star patterns – so today is specified as Flag Day.

And remember, it's our flag too. It doesn't just belong to the right-wing plutocrats who so ostentatiously display them on their lapels. We freedom-lovers live here too, and as long as the Constitution still begins "We The People" we are in there too.

Running the Gauntlet
Vouyer on a roll

The Vince Vouyer/Wicked Pictures collaboration is turning out a torrent of gonzo, as this press release will tell you.


THE SAGA CONTINUES: VINCE VOUYER Lays Down THE GAUNTLET 2!

LOS ANGELES, CA -- Chatsworth-based VOUYER MEDIA's newest release tells the intriguing tale of three self-actualized young women - covergirl RILEY MASON, ALEXA LYNN, and GWEN DIAMOND - who set out on a noble quest: a search for sexual fulfillment that finds them swallowing some 30 loads between the three of them . And swallow them they do, with Riley consuming a hearty nine loads and Gwen drinking a respectable five (while catching an exceptionally gooey extra four across her grinning face). But the movie's tally is raised most considerably by little Texas cutie Alexa, who downs a stomach-stretching 16 loads before her back-to-back scenes are completed. Yes, multiple award-winning director VINCE VOUYER is back with the hotly-anticipated sequel to THE GAUNTLET, the title that launched the Vouyer Media imprint earlier this year!

THE GAUNTLET 2 begins with leggy brunette beauty Riley kick-starting the action into high gear with a fast-paced POV romp before servicing a trio of men in a fast, multi-positional bang. From there Riley is led to the next room, in which five men are sitting around waiting for her oral charms. The resulting blowbang ups Ms. Mason's cum-tally to a respectable nine loads, but that's nothing compared to what sandy-haired Alexa Lynn receives, as she jumps into her first-ever five-guy interracial blowbang, a fiery scene that's punctuated with some spirited sport screwing. The loads hardly have a chance to dry before Alexa is led to a smaller vanilla suck-fest that sets the stage for THE GAUNTLET 2's main event: Alexa's one girl, seven guy blowbang that raises her semen intake to a gurgling 16 loads! The DVD thunders to its conclusion with a star turn from voluptuous blonde beauty Gwen Diamond. After her POV screw, the actress proceeds to chalk up several personal firsts, including her first all-girl triad, which also features her first strap-on reaming. Throw some truly filthy dirty-talk into the mix and you've got one hell of a lesbian scene. Slipping into the next room, Gwen commits some more career firsts, starting with a sizzling four-way screw and concluding with a lengthy four-guy blowbang that leaves the grinsome blonde's face caked in semen.

As with all VOUYER MEDIA releases, there's an abundance of bonus footage to be found in the DVD Extras, beginning with a new feature, the AFTERMATH INTERVIEWS. These segments find the director interviewing the starlets AFTER they've performed their scenes. Sexy, revealing, and funny as hell, each Q&A sheds new light on the girls' often unusual sexual predilections. Also noteworthy is the all new BONUS CORE scene with sultry REBECCA STEEL, who throws down a feisty POV blowjob that also boasts some fine teasing for the camera. THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR section features extra footage of the girls in action, as well as some humorous observations from Vouyer and assorted male cast members. No one knows the gonzo genre better than VOUYER MEDIA, and the high quality seen in original GAUNTLET has been taken to the next level in this more-than-equal-sequel, from the performances and extras to the packaging (which features an embossed and matte finished O card) and the DVD itself, which was shot in Widescreen HD and is presented in Anamorphic Widescreen with Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound.

With hotter girls, more extreme scenarios, and nearly TWICE as many loads swapped and swallowed than in the original, THE GAUNTLET 2 lays down the law for hard-hitting, high-quality gonzo.

BOMBSHELL BOTTOMS: Coming June 14th, 2006, BOMBSHELL BOTTOMS introduces sexy blonde KELLY BROOX in her first DP ever! Co-starring leggy SAVANNA STERN, this exciting exercise in gonzo excitement has been shot, directed, and edited for the ass aficionado in us all! Visit Vouyer Media

MAKE ME CREAMY 2: Coming June 26th from director Vince Vouyer, MAKE ME CREAMY 2 stars 18 year old blonde AUBREY ADAMS in her multiple cream pie debut! More high-quality widescreen gonzo excitement from the creator of the AVN Award-winning CUM DRIPPERS series! Visit Vouyer Media

THE GAUNTLET: The one that started it all! Directed by Vince Vouyer and starring newcomers MAYA, NOLLIE, and CHELSEA, THE GAUNTLET has proven to be a hit with both fans and critics, with ADULT DVD EMPIRE giving it a 4.25 out of 5 rating. ADE reviewer Spooky praises Vouyer's use of "fresh, young talent" and predicts that the GAUNTLET series will have "some long legs indeed" in the marketplace.

One reviewer sees THE GAUNTLET as a harbinger of great things to come from the new production house, calling the DVD "a good first outing from a hot new company with a lot of potential!" Consumer website ADULT DVD TALK concurs, succinctly observing that "the girls are hot and the sex is solid. This is a great start for Vince's new company!"

Lisa Sparxxx. Third time's the charm.
Random Notes From A Red Notebook:  PSK at Sardo's. Wham! Bam! Alakazam!

The evening started well, passing the time with Sonny Malone, crack video editor for Danni.com, and Tara from freepornstarpix. Konnnie and Powder and Rachel Worth... I see the J-shaped booth is free, marked with a RESERVED FOR PSK CLUB sign. I see the sign, ask Konnie, "Do I qualify?" She shrugs.

I sit with Sonny at the booth, and the waitress comes up immediately.

"Do you work in the adult industry?" she asks.

I assure her that Sonny and I do, indeed, work in the adult industry and place an order. Sardo's owner Seymour walks by and I flag him down.

"Tell your waitress that we're in the industry, willya?"

He turns and says, in a well-modulated I'm-in-charge-here tone "Angie —Get him out of here!" With a dismissive gesture, yet.

We all crack up.

Kristen takes the mike for a spirited "Sweet Child of Mine" as Lisa Sparxxx comes in, practically unrecognizeable with her new dark hair... Konnie starts in on "Boogie Oogie Oogie" as Vanessa Blue walks in, takes a place at the U-shaped center booth. Lisa Sparxxx sees me, strikes a pose, holds it while we both wait for the flash to go off. Three times... A woman walks by, looks like veteran performer Kiss, but it isn't. She would have recognized me... Tee Reel... Shane's World new contract performer Casey Parker... A guy with a weak voice takes on the Doors' "Love me Two Times." Not a good idea... Brian Gross belts out a spirited "Fat Bottomed Girls"... Another guy with a weak voice tries "Born To Run." Ouch... Roy Karch... Kristen takes the mike again, blasts out a spirited "Orange Colored Sky," effortlessly blasting out the lyrics that equate falling in love to being a WWII firefight. "Look out for flying glass... I've been hit! This is it!" She ends with a crescendo, bringing down the house. That girl's going places... James Bartholet... This week's host Jason Sechrest takes on "God" by Tori Amos.... Lori Lust... Sonny goes out for a smoke, John West takes her seat. Felony sits on his lap. I take a picture... The Androgynous Guy is here. When Jason offers free porn, he asks The Androgynous Guy "Do you want a gay title? Just a guess."



John West and Felony
Brian Gross sings
Mainstream actor Hal Sparks comes in, sits with Sonny and me. He's just been recording songs for a new CD he plans to self-distribute. We chat for a while, and Sonny poses for a picture with him, as do I. One of my teenage sons is incredulous that I am on waving terms with Hal Sparks... Ron Jeremy coes in, glad-hands his way around. I take my leave at about 1:30, a little wired. Drinking six Diet Cokes will do that to you...

PSK is every Tuesday night at Sardo's at 259 Pass Avenue in Burbank. Tee Reel is hosting this week:

Tee Reel Encore Host of "Porn Star Karaoke" this Tuesday

"I just want to make sure everybody has a great time!" That’s what Tee Reel says about hosting "Porn Star Karoake", the best Tuesday party in LA.

Are those guns in your hands, or are you just glad to see me?
Bang bang

Brad Armstrong hauls out the film camera again for a new production based on bounty hunting. This particular press release focuses on the female leads learning proper gun safety and technique. Have a look:

The Skills To Pay The Bills: "MANHUNTERS" JESSICA, CARMEN, KIRSTEN, & EXOTICA Are Lovely & Lethal!

LOS ANGELES, CA -- (June 9th, 2006 DMPR) -- Since the success of such films as THE MATRIX and CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON, highly choreographed, fight-intensive films have been more popular than ever in Hollywood. But as anyone who's watched Steven Seagal huff-and-puff his way unconvincingly through even the simplest fight scenes knows, most American action flicks pull their stunt sequences together through the use of doubles and skillful post-production magic. So when award-winning adult filmmaker BRAD ARMSTRONG (ETERNITY, SOLD, THE COLLECTOR), began pre-production on his new WICKED PICTURES shot-on-film action spectacular MANHUNTERS, stars JESSICA DRAKE, CARMEN HART, KIRSTEN PRICE, and EXOTICA underwent extensive physical training, spending weeks learning how to perfect the jumps, kicks, low stances, hard and soft punching styles, and many types of weapons training needed to bring this wild look at professional bounty hunting to life.

To prepare for their demanding roles, the ladies participated in a grueling daily regimen of cardio and heavy weightlifting, and received extensive training in such areas as the legal aspects of bounty hunting, the proper use of handcuffs and restraints, how to conduct a search on a building, how to apprehend a fugitive, how to conduct a search with weapons, and how to fire a variety of weapons with maximum accuracy. Ever the perfectionist, Best Actress drake even sought certification through online bounty hunting classes, pursuing studies in such areas as Fugitive Recovery.

To hone their abilities with firearms, the team spent numerous additional days on a shooting range with professional gun handlers from the movie industry. These seasoned pros taught the ladies the intricacies of handgun and rifle safety, and helped the courageous girls develop their sharpshooting abilities.

With filming now underway, the girls have been happy to reveal in their own words how the arduous transformation from glamorous superstars to lean, mean fighting machines has helped prepare them for this most demanding production:

jessica drake: "Never have I put so much extra time and effort into preparing for a movie. We all gave 110%, and I can't wait to see all of our training pay off. This is yet one more reason I'm glad to be a Wicked Girl!"

Carmen Hart: "If I had to pick one word to describe this experience, it would be challenging!"

Kirsten Price: "My favorite part was the karate choreography. As a student of martial arts, it was fun to be able to incorporate some of my "other" talents into this movie!

Exotica: "While I am very disiplined in regards to weight lifting and working out, during our training for this movie I've developed a newfound respect for weapons and ammunition handling. I'm so excited to have been chosen to join the team!"

With just two days of principal photography completed, MANHUNTERS already promises to be an entertaining mix of gritty action, searing sex, and Armstrong's slick trademark visuals. Inspired by the lives of real-life bounty hunters, the innovative filmmaker is sparing no expense to bring this explosive melange of girls and guns to the screen with maximum verisimilitude.


Dave Cummings
The classics never get old

Dave Cummings has just revised and updated his classic How-to-be-a-porn-star essay, and as a person who has been asked this question pretty much once a week for the last 10 years, I appreciate Dave's candid and helpful facts and how-to's for the would-be porn stud. Here it is:


GETTING INTO THE PORN INDUSTRY
BY: Dave Cummings----Porn Star/Producer/Director

Many individuals, both female and male, fantasize about becoming a porn star, or somehow finding a way to get into the Porn Industry. Some folks want to be in front of the camera as actual porn stars, while some just want to be involved with porn productions and become an “insider." Now that the Internet has flourished, it’s become another avenue into porn for those seeking entry. Let’s look at some of the different routes one might travel in their quest to be involved with the world of porn.

For reasonably attractive females with nice figures, it’s relatively easy. Knowing someone already in the Industry might facilitate their journey into porn, otherwise they’ll need to do some Internet research to find and contact an agent or manager, preferably a reputable one in the Los Angeles area where most porn productions take place. In the past, there has been a steady stream of new legal-age girls wanting the adventure and/or money and/or fame of becoming a starlet; but, in the last few years there’s been a significant increase, indeed almost a flood, in the numbers of women hoping to become famous and affluent porn stars and to later return to their high school class reunions and bask in the glow of stardom. The name of the game during recent years is the demand for new fresh faces; this often results in pursuits by producers and directors seeking to hire new starlets as a means of increasing sales. Thus new wannabe porn starlets are in demand. New girls can make a lot of money, especially when they first enter the Industry; but, unless they are especially good at their craft or have extraordinary professionalism and drive to make porn a career, the need for the even newer fresh faces soon becomes a challenge for their longevity as the even “newer” incoming girls seem to nudge some of the existing faces out of the limelight. The exceptional girls who end up making it a longer term career usually are well known for their dependability, punctuality, a solid enjoyment of sex which is exhibited by truly hot sex scene performances, personality, and high standards of all-around professionalism.

Let’s look now at the issue of men wanting to become porn studs. Prior to the days of prescription pills to aid and enhance one’s sexual performance abilities, the number of porn studs in the Industry was much smaller than at present, and viewers had to endure seeing the same core group of us guys over and over. The reason why we were qualified as career porn studs was our “functionality," something that still applies today; candidly, even some new guys presently masking their use of pharmaceutical assistance still seem to sometimes get “stage fright” and some seem to have difficulty doing a timely “money shot." I’ll discuss the functionality matter a little later.

Because I (and many other Adult Industry individuals and entities) receive hundreds and hundreds of serious inquiries every month from guys wanting to know how they can become porn stars, I’ve written up this general response. As a Producer and Director, I’d love to have a much larger pool of proven male performers so that female viewers could enjoy watching handsome studs performing with some girl while the female viewer fantasizes about herself actually being the girl in the video. I sense that the porn viewers now include more and more women and couples, unlike the past when most viewers were masturbating men.

The problem here is for me to be candid without hurting anyone’s feelings; there’s no easy way to tell guys that the chance of them getting even a “tryout” or an audition is remote. (Actually, there no longer is such a thing as an “audition," let alone getting one with a new applicant’s favorite porn starlet!) The present lack of “want ads” for new studs has little to do with new aspirants, but rather results from the informal system that’s evolved over time based mostly upon past experiences of disappointed Directors who let themselves be talked into using some previous new guys who touted themselves as true studs (which they well might have been in their private life, but unfortunately were not when they got in front of cameras on a set with people watching -- new guys with performance difficulties are nightmares for directors, crews, and everyone involved with the shoot, including the starlet scheduled to have sex on film with the aspirant). Probably, the new guy who wants to get into performing undoubtedly is a true stud with the ladies or his significant other, and/or in a group situation like a swinger’s party, but merely deciding to become a porn star does not get him even considered any more. The present lack of enthusiasm for giving new guys a shot at a career as a porn stud was informally established when similar men in the past were strongly recommended by someone (perhaps even by someone in the Industry, or by a starlet or female with first-hand knowledge), only to have “performance anxiety” and freeze up in front of the cameras, lights, and sometimes his inpatient co-star as well as the crew/director/producer, other actors and actresses, make-up persons, on-lookers, catering people, magazine photographers, location owners and their “gawking” friends/neighbors/relatives, company owners and staff, Industry media, online gossip or news columnists, etc. A new guy who loses his “functionality” causes loss of production time and filming momentum, and possibly additional expenses in overtime charges for the location, rental equipment, and crew. Resultantly, Directors and Producers usually will not accept new guys, no matter who recommends them or how impressive the new guy or his girlfriend says his penile “credentials” and sexual performance abilities are. It’s been my experience, and that of many insiders, that new guys are absolutely certain and insistent that they can adequately perform in a functionary manner, but most still fail no matter how much confidence they exhibit, sometimes in spite of the prescription pills they might have privately ingested.

If so many serious and motivated “potential porn stud applicants” contact me constantly, can you imagine how many are writing/emailing/phoning the porn girls, insiders and other porn guys like me, studios, magazines, crews, gentlemen’s clubs etc.? Yet, even with new guys masking their use of pharmaceuticals and/or sometimes being part of a male-female couple, I see only five or six credible new guys a year making it into the business, and even some of these get “cut from the roster” if they don’t possess adequate and consistent functionality. It doesn’t seem to matter (or be an adequate excuse to the studio owners, producers, directors, crews, starlets, or anyone else adversely affected by delays due to sub-par functionality) if the new guy just ran a an exhausting marathon, was taking decongestants or antihistamines for a sinus blockage or a cold, or unavoidably got only a few hours sleep the previous night -- it’s an unforgiving business decision not to take a chance using the new guy ever again. Worse, the word of a new guy’s non-functionality seems to spread like the speed of light throughout the Industry. There’s a lot of pressure on the male performer; unlike his female co-star, he can’t fake sexual excitement nor can he hide climaxing too soon before the director gives him the directive to do the “money shot." Instead, the guy has to have a solid and almost-constant erection whenever the camera is rolling, and for the hour-plus it usually takes to film the hardcore portion of the scene, and in spite of the constant stopping and restarting for such things as changing a camera battery, relocating lighting, stopping for required photos of the action, shifting back and forth between the hardcore and the cable-television non-hardcore filming, starlet make-up touch ups, potty breaks, cigarette breaks for cast/crew, water, the sound of someone’s ringing or vibrating cell phone, or a passing airplane, or the starting-up of a lawn mower down the street, and on and on!

The key for a new guy is all centered around "functionality": Namely: getting an erection quickly; not climaxing too soon; and, indeed being able to do a money shot somewhat soon after the Director calls for it. Sometimes, new guys taking prescription medications intended to help them with their sexual performance have difficulty getting the money shot to happen quickly enough. Since “FUNCTIONALITY” is the name of the game for guys, let me reiterate: penis size, looks, muscles, and acting ability mean almost nothing for a guy. What DOES matter is the guy’s ability to get an almost instant erection in front of people on a set, to maintain functionality for the period of the shoot including being able to get “wood” erected quickly after the many stop-and-go interruptions during the shoot, to control the erection so as to not cum before the Director gives the OK, and, upon being directed to climax, the guy should do it relatively quickly without wasting the time of the starlet or the production folks.

Of course, guys must arrive on set on time, bring the correct wardrobe, have perfect personal hygiene in every way, bring their not-more-than 30 days old Adult Industry Medical (AIM) tests done via the state-of-the-art PCR/DNA testing regimen for chlamydia/gonorrhea/HIV, and bring their ID’s, including one government-issued ID showing the guy’s photo and date of birth on it. I always bring my State Driver’s license and my Department of Defense military ID card. Like I teach in my www.howtomakeadultvideos.com classes, in The Adult Industry, there’s real time, military time, and porn time – yes, porn time is usually the latest of them, so be prepared to sit around for possibly hours waiting for your sex scene to (finally) begin!

OK, so other than being a multi-millionaire who buys a porn company, what possibilities exist for a new guy to get paid to have sex with beautiful women in the Adult Industry? Well, one direct way is for the aspiring new guy to “discover” a SUPER-beautiful new girl who will agree to enter the Industry while letting him ride her coat-tails, and demanding that he be the exclusive stud she will ever “work with” on film (“work with” is our term for having sex in porn shoots). This can sometimes work if the girl is truly sizzling hot; it’s important, though, to understand that every year there are many hundreds of new girls entering the Industry seeking a shot at becoming a famous porn star, almost all of whom will work with any of the already-proven porn guys the Producer/Director wants to hire. A new aspirant’s “coat-tail” girl must therefore be so much more attractive than the other new girls, as well as the already-established other girls, that the Director will want her in his production so much that he might agree to her demand of working only with “her” new guy. Candidly, be aware that some new coat-tail girls might sever the deal with new guys at this stage if it means that they might lose THEIR chance to get a shot if the Director balks at hiring the new guy; after all, it means the Director must take a production cost chance on the coat-tail girl and her new guy, a risk he doesn’t have to take if he instead books one of the many other girls who will work with any of the famous star studs of the Director’s choosing. It might help if a new guy has and shows the Director a couple of tapes of him performing with girls in front of 10 or 20 other people to prove that he doesn’t get stage fright in front of lots of people. If the new guy and his coat-tail girl get some initial bookings and do well with them and another 8-10 shoots, perhaps he can then let it me known that he’s available for bookings with other girls in gangbangs and other productions; if the new guy performs successfully and meets the “functionality” criteria consistently, he’ll join the ranks of the already proven porn studs. Unlike the girls who make a lot of money, we guys are merely props to the point that the pay per sex scene is considerably less than what the girls make!

Another possible way to get into porn is via porn productions. Although the bi-monthly classes I teach in adult film-making are comprehensive and include information for couples wanting to film for their own private viewing or for doing “Cam” shows on the Internet, most students want to become producers as a means of making money and/or getting laid! Once a new producer firmly establishes himself or herself as a reputable player in the adult film arena, contact can then be established with agents and managers of porn talent (“talent” is the term for the women and men who appear in front of the camera) and start arranging bookings. It’s not surprising to find that some male producers hire themselves as the male talent, and then hire female porn stars whom they are especially sexually excited about working with. And, some new female producers might inject themselves into sex scenes with either males or females. The AIM testing I mentioned above comes into play, as professional talent mandates the tests, even if a condom will be used for the filming – after all, condoms do sometimes break or malfunction! I’ll return to productions per se in a bit, but first some information about other possible ways to be involved with productions, or to somehow find oneself as an “insider."

A crew for porn shoots can be as few as a cameraman and a still photographer (to take shots for DVD box covers, as well as for marketing materials); but, some sets have large crews, such as additional cameramen for multi-angle and/or cable version footage as well as for “behind-the-scenes” filming for inclusion into the DVD “extras." Sets can also have a Director (sometimes in addition to the Producer), Production Assistants, lighting and audio specialists, and ancillary folks for doing make-up, catering, paperwork, etc.
 
Disappointingly, except for the large gangbangs, very few sets have “fluffers” any more (girls who orally “prepare” porn studs to do the on-camera performing). Producers/Directors seem to prefer using the same experienced crewmembers they’ve previously hired. Additions to crews usually come from recommendations from other directors, present crews, and talent, thus providing a basis for experience and professionalism. Directors and crews sometimes hire new crew folks who they find out about from various other sources, but they prefer people who won’t make production mistakes or hit on the girls while working on the set. As an aside, there’s no such thing as “Crew Appreciation Day” where porn girls give oral pleasure to crewmembers, so don’t expect any action if you get lucky and land a job through your Uncle Louie as an Assistant Production Assistant, or whatever. If you’re wondering if crewmembers ever get a shot at performing, I understand that some have had the opportunity to occasionally do “stunt” cum shots for porn studs who were having a bad day -- because of the AIM and Industry-mandated testing regimen, such money shots are never to the girl’s face or near her orifices. Yes, crewmembers sometimes get to date porn girls on a personal level.

Script writing opportunities to get on sets or become an insider might offer some possibilities; however, scripts seem to be somewhat favored from an inner circle of already established “insider” authors. I understand that scripts provided by new writers result in payment of only hundreds, not thousands, of dollars. Since porn films and their budgets aren’t usually in the same league with productions such as “Gone With The Wind”, the Directors often write their own scripts. And, since there’s so much non-feature porn presently being produced, dialogue is often determined, staged, and improvised on the spot.

Some folks contact producers/directors agents, talent, and production companies with the offers of production investor funding. Although this sometimes gets outsiders inside, I need to return now to the general matter of productions per se and opine that we presently have a glut of new producers and a lot of excess footage and films looking for Distributors; thus, like the real estate markets have peaks and valleys, this might not be a good time for investing in films. Nevertheless, being involved with productions does offer a way to enter the world of porn. My class and its content at my www.howtomakeadultvideos.com site goes into significant detail about things like distribution, legalities and permits, cameras, lighting, resources, budgets, locations, shooting techniques, production ins and outs, casting, agents/managers, editing, packaging, marketing, happenings and problem-solving on porn sets, revenue sources, and a host of other aspects. Bottom line, getting into some aspect of production is a way for possibly entering the world of porn.

Another possibility is the Internet. More and more, we’re seeing adult Internet companies actually shooting content (photos and video), instead of licensing it from content providers or streaming video feeds. The advantage to shooting such content is the exclusiveness of the content, instead of their sites using some of the same content that can be seen at many other sites. Additionally, their output can later be placed on DVD and/or Video-On-Demand delivery systems, thus making them quasi-porn production folks. I sense that porn companies and adult Internet organizations might someday mix and match, sort of converging into cooperative entities, maybe even consolidating. I think the present adult Internet direction provides another avenue for entry into the porn world. Aspiring porn studs who have contacts with adult Internet folks or who know “Cam” girls who sometimes put on shows with guys might want to explore entry into the adult Internet content business as either producers or talent members as a way to get into porn?

All of the above is my personal opinion, and even though it might not sound encouraging, I had to be truthful and candid.  I think my comments are on target. Keep in mind that you’re not alone in wanting to be a porn stud or production guy or insider—millions of others fantasize about it too, and hope that they personally have what it takes to become the next big-name male porn star. From time to time I’ll add to these comments via my “From The Trenches” or “Getting Into The Porn Industry” links at my www.davecummings.com, so I recommend that you check them out every once in a while; in fact, some past “From The Trenches” columns already discuss the present porn production situation.

Good luck,

Porn Star/Producer/Director



Portrait of the Hollywood club as a party venue
June 9, 2006

Random Notes From A Red Notebook: Danni's Hard Drive Party

The venue looked promising, just off Melrose in a small side-street. I turn off Melrose and find myself in a quiet residential area. Too quiet.... There is no parking on the crowded streets, built when the Model T was as big as a car got, and no crowds of porn-industry revelers on the sidewalk... I think I got the wrong address... I mentally revise my plans and head up to Hollywood Boulevard... The sidewalks are full of revelers and up here there is a club with an address exactly 1000 more than the address I was given... Go figure... I make a qulck left into a parking lot, and the guy in the red baseball cap asks me for $20.... I remember when they used to charge $10, but the price of "outrageous overcharge" has gone up to $20 nowadays.... Red notebook in hand, I saunter up to the black velvet rope and inquire "Who's in charge of the list?" The tall, musclebound bouncer snaps to (It's amazing what politeness and grey hair will accomplish among a mob of rude 20-somethings), finds my name on the list, and unhooks the rope, inspiring awe among the leather-jacketed wannabes still waiting outside.

I walk in and the place is hopping, as one would expect of a Hollywood nightspot on a Saturday night. There is a large banner that says "DANNI'S HARD DRIVE" conspicuously hanging on one side of the club and the TV screens show a loop of sexy footage instead of the usual music videos.... The music is loud, loud, more than loud, and I look around for a familiar face.... I know that AVN award-winning editor Sonny Malone is here, she was my hook-up to the invitation. I take my cell phone and text-message her "Are you here?"... A moment later, my cell phone buzzes in my pocket. I look at the little screen. It's Sonny. Great, I have to talk in this din.... I look around to make sure I don't elbow somebody when I open the phone, and I see Sonny at the bar, cell phone glowing at her ear.... She buys me a drink, apologizes for the bum address, which she had as well.... The video loop on the screens is her handiwork, which doesn't surprise me. Good stuff... Sonny introduces me to one of her colleagues, who offers to buy me a drink. We fall into a conversation about the record industry, where he used to work, at Elektra Records among other places. I mention that I used to manage a record store, and surprise him by naming some of Elektra's other artists besides The Doors... He goes to attend the other guests, and I see Pure Play PR wizard April, who confides something and follows it up with "Don't print that!'... Well, okay... The Danni's party is an overlay on the usual evening at the club, which is cool, we don't have to see the same faces at every party... Nick Manning... Tee Reel walks by...

I find Sonny again, join her in the barred-in smoking lounge.... She tells me that Danni's is getting harder, and they're moving into video distribution as well as Internet content as we both watch a couple necking passionately... Probably just met... When we head out, we wait for her car at the valet, which costs a paltry $10, but you're probably in for a couple-of-bucks tip.... The new direction of Danni's is off to a festive start.

Net Neutrality defeated in House

Sex to reach parity with violence in video games?

Looks like it. Take a look at this story from Reuters.



Give your lady a buzz
New buzz in cock rings

A new company has introduced a new variation on the cock ring, making it from stretchy rubber and putting a tiny vibrator in it. Even better, they have a disposable one that comes packaged in a little square box that looks like a condom three-pack and even includes a condom, so this baby oughta fly off the shelves for impulse buys. Take a look:


MP INNOVATIONS' "OMAZING RING" HITS #1

New York, NY - Move over Trojan, and make room for the new king of the novelty marketplace. The "Omazing Ring," a sexual aid manufactured, distributed and sold by MP Innovations, has become the Number One selling item in its category, according to figures released by www.sextoy.com.

What is the "Omazing Ring"? It's a revolutionary device which is worn at the base of the penis, designed to stimulate both sexual partners through active vibration and contact. Made of material softer and more elastic than any other competing product, and featuring very intense vibration, the "Omazing Ring" has produced a consumer response that astonishes even its distributors.

"We've had customers who called, crying, thanking us for saving their marriages and relationships," reveals Shawn Partain, president of MP Innovations. "It sounds too good to be true, but it is. We get leads on thousands of products a year and we try to consumer test as many as possible, but the response we've seen with the Omazing Vibrating Ring is through the roof."

"We've never come across anything like this, and we've been involved with a lot of products," concurs Shawn's brother, Matt Partain, CEO of MP Innovations. "Overwhelming satisfaction from consumers. It gives mutual pleasure. It's great for the guy, but it drives the girl absolutely crazy."

The "Omazing Ring" currently is being marketed in two versions, the reusable model and the disposable model. The reusable has a suggested retail price of $19.95 (compared to more than $30 for many competitive models on the market) and is available through mail order catalogues like "Dr. Leonard's."

But the most exciting news is that the "Omazing Ring" now is available at convenience stores all over the country in the disposable version, which costs just $6.99. The early returns have been phenomenal, as evidenced in the report published recently in the National Association of Convenience Stores Magazine.

"Realizing tremendous success in markets around the country," the article states, "OMAZING's superior quality and incredible retail profit margin is what separates the product from the competition…Convenience store owners are very surprised at how quickly the product is moving and the high percentage of repeat customers. This category is generating a huge amount of momentum, and the demand is going through the roof."

Next on the list of outlets will be chain drug stores, where the "Omazing Ring" will be available in the third quarter of 2006. Also, Shawn and Matt Partain are readying a hefty mass media advertising campaign with spots on television, radio, print and the Internet.

Be prepared to hear a lot more about the "Omazing Ring."



Do NOT wear this to a real honky-tonk.
I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Chatsworth

Wicked Pictures puts out a new title featuring contract performer Carmen Hart in front of the camera and Michael Raven behind. And if you disdain country music – The Dixie Chicks have been on top of the validated SoundScan Billboard charts for the last two weeks (and you know that's legit because ad sales don't influence the Billboard charts) and SOMEbody is buying that country stuff.

Here's the as-usual-amazingly-well-written press release from Daniel Metcalf, who can effortlessly interleave Mick Jagger, London in the '60s, and the video at hand, and you never see the seams. The guy's like a duck: Placid above the waterline, paddling like hell under the surface.


CARMEN HART Finds Sensual Soul Down On The Delta In WICKED PICTURES' HONKY TONK GIRL

LOS ANGELES, CA -- When the Rolling Stones released their legendary single HONKY TONK WOMEN in the early days of July 1969, their rabid fan base shook their heads in collective disbelief. Coming on the heels of such acclaimed (and commercial) descents into tripped-out psychedelia as THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES REQUEST, the song's now-classic countrified cowbell and drum lick intro, and Mick Jagger's raspy, gin-soaked delivery sounded for all the world more like vintage Hank Williams (especially his HONKY TONK BLUES) than the radio-friendly pop band responsible for such teen-angst anthems as SATISFACTION and LET'S SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER. In the media frenzy that followed, Jagger and co-writer Keith Richards claimed they'd actually written the song's Southern-fried lyrics as a hymn to the many charms of "Swinging London" icon Marianne Faithfull. But if the large-lipped lead vocalist had been looking into the future, he may have have been similarly inspired by WICKED PICTURES' own sultry Mississippi queen, alluring North Carolina native CARMEN HART, who headlines award-Winning director MICHAEL RAVEN's upcoming DVD release HONKY TONK GIRL, on store shelves everywhere starting Wednesday, June 7th, 2006.

To give you some background, HONKY TONK GIRL's titular Southern belle is not only one of Adult's hottest rising stars, but she's also become one of mainstream Hollywood's favorite media darlings, thanks to a slate of high-profile red carpet appearances that have made her a bonafide member of the New Hollywood. A popular guest on top-rated East Coast radio station WXQR FM, Carmen has quickly become a fixture at LA's most prestigious entertainment events, strutting her stuff down the red carpet at such soirees as the Night Of A Hundred Stars Oscar® bash, and SHOW Magazine's invitation-only Hollywood launch party. Earlier this year, Carmen worked her skills on the runway at the 2006 Miss Nude Pageant, facing off against twelve of the finest ladies in adult entertainment before winning not only the title honor, but two additional awards in the Best Body and Best Dancer categories.

As an actress and WICKED GIRL, Carmen made her leading lady debut in award-winning director David Stanley's RENDEZVOUS, which hit retail shelves everywhere April 26th. Co-starring Wicked contract actor/director Randy Spears, this entertaining show was a comedy for couples in the classic Wicked tradition.

Not expectedly due to the talent on hand, RENDEZVOUS received rave reviews from industry opinion-makers, and HONKY TONK GIRL is to be another ideal vehicle for Carmen's smoldering, one-of-a-kind screen persona.

WIth acclaimed visionary Michael (BEAUTIFUL, KILLER SEX & SUICIDE BLONDES) Raven at the helm, this new release showcases Carmen's olive-skinned beauty and heady sensuality to perfect effect. Raven's slick, high-tech direction, and opulent production values provide the perfect counterpoint to this winsome brunette's earthy, all-natural sexuality, and it's this tension, the combination of nuance and style, that makes this show one of Wicked's most rewarding releases so far this year.

In HONKY TONK GIRL, perhaps in a way not that dissimilar to HONKY TONK WOMEN years ago, blue-eyed soul meets the Delta Blues down at the carnal crossroads.

And while there may be no cowbell, there's no denying that Carmen is easier on the eyes than Keith Richards!

Allen Stein: Mastermind behind The Thrillhammer: www.thethrillhammer.com
Dan Siechert: Designer and creator of the Monkey Rocker: www.monkeyrocker.com

Alabama legislators have banned the sale of sex toys in their state, apparently afraid that women who use them will lose their affection for men and turn to vibrators and dildos for comfort, affection, and sexual pleasure. If a tiny vibrator can inspire that much insecurity, just imagine how they'd feel if they knew that some sex machines can weigh 450 pounds and move at a rate of 6500 RPM - while others are manually controlled and look like erotic fine art furniture, ideal for any stylish home.

Join Darklady for yet another lively online conversation, this time with photographer Timothy Archibald, whose book "Sex Machines: Photographs and Interviews" took him across America and introduced him to sex machine scientists including The Thrillhammer's Allen Stein and the Monkey Rocker's Dan Siechert.

Anybody wanna mainstream gig?

BlackWidow sets up a talent agency for adult and mainstream casting. Take a look:


Black Widow Talent to Offer Adult – and Mainstream – Casting to Hardcore Performers

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- With plans to represent hardcore performers not only in adult -- but mainstream productions as well -- Black Widow Productions President Ric Williams announced Black Widow Talent is about to open for business.

Williams, who owned and operated WQ Talent Management, a mainstream entertainment agency that represented 23 actors and actresses in Hollywood, will provide casting opportunities in mainstream and hardcore projects through Black Widow Talent. With finalization of its state license imminent, Black Widow Talent will be a fully bonded and licensed agency.

"I've been getting a lot of calls recently from my friends in the mainstream asking me for porn stars to audition for commercials and TV and movie roles. I decided that the time was right to take on some talented adult actors and actresses and promote them into the mainstream side," Williams said.

Very few adult agencies, Williams added, are bonded and licensed as required by California state law, and none of them have the knowledge and contacts of his prior experience.

"Few people seem to be aware that in California, only state licensed talent agencies or attorneys can negotiate contracts and book talent legally," he said.

Black Widow Talent also pledges to operate with the high standards of the best talent agencies and ensure only the best service to all producers.

Did the '60s come back and I missed it? Damn.
Looks good to me

The Hillary Scott drumbeat starts with this press release touting her selection as the new Britney Rears and her involvement with a new vid called Corruption. Will Ryder told me that she was a good actress as well as a sex performer, so we’ll see how that goes. Press release follows:


HILLARY SCOTT IS ADULT’S NEXT BIG SUPERSTAR

(HOLLYWOOD, CA) Rising starlets come and go but gonzo princess Hillary Scott seems to be well on her way to making the difficult transition from all-sex performer to full time superstar. With major movie releases coming out in September from Sex Z Pictures and X-Play/Hustler Video, Hillary is making a big impact on directors and other industry insiders with her acting chops and star quality proving that she’s an actress with substance and talent.

“Hillary Scott is the shit,” claimed director Will Rider. “Everybody loves Hillary for her wild sexual performances, but this girl is truly becoming an excellent actor and will be a boni-fide superstar quite soon.” During an editing session for the upcoming blockbuster Britney Rears 3: Britney Rears Gets Shafted, Rider’s opinion of the Chicago native was solidified as he watched light up the screen and carry the movie. “Big time girl, big time talent, big time star no doubt,” he continued.

In fact, the blond 23 year old actress is turning industry heads in a number of camps with her seamless ability to transition back and forth between the worlds of all-sex movies and story based sex features.

Industry maverick Bo Kenney owner of Sex Z Pictures has green lighted the biggest movie project in the company’s history with Hillary playing the lead role. Corruption is being directed by veteran movie maker Eli Cross who has been extremely impressed by the surprising talent.

“Hillary blew us away during her audition for Corruption and so far over the first five days of shooting, it’s safe to say we made a brilliant choice. She’s magnificent and we are thrilled,” Cross commented.

The extremely ambitious Corruption is being shot over a 10 day schedule which is requiring Scott to endure grueling hours on the set, long stretches of intricate dialogue and a half dozen nasty hardcore sex scenes.

“The sex is the easiest part,” joked Hillary as she sat in the make-up chair staring at her script. “I’m having the best year and with me doing these really big movies it has opened my eyes to another side of the industry.”

Hillary, who recently was named XRCO’s ‘Best New Starlet’ and ‘Orgasmic Oralist’ for her sexual abilities now realizes that her world is rapidly expanding with more opportunities, better roles and tremendous projects.

“Hillary is a rising star because she’s so much more than just a great sexual performer. She’s the entire package. You wait and see,” stated Sex Z’s Bo Kenney who is eagerly awaiting the completion of Corruption.

With new girls coming in and out of the adult movie business every year, only a few ever get the opportunity to be something truly special. Hillary Scott appears to be well on her way to becoming adult’s next big superstar.

Vivid's Vegas nightclub shuttered?

Word has it that the Vivid nightclub at the Venetian in Las Vegas has reportedly gone behind The Great Velvet Rope In The Sky. The club opened to great fanfare in January 2005, a couple of weeks after the January show, with Jenna Jameson introducing her new contract girl McKenzie Lee, and a star-studded premiere filled with Vegas personalities and representatives of the Porno-American Community.

A correspondent writes: It will be re-named the Fine Theatre, after the financial backers of the project, and will feature an interactive show reportedly similar to the ‘Tony & Tina’s Wedding’ concept. Jeff Beacher is involved.

Vivid the nightclub is no longer showing on the Venetian Website: http://www.venetian.com/attractions/entertainment.cfm

As good as the idea was, the location was dreadful, a backwater tucked between two pedestrian entrances to the casino that people ignored on their way in, and if you don't know exactly where it is, it's damn near impossible to find, a problem the previous occupants – and the future ones – may find insoluble.

Jason Sechrest brings hint of mint to PSK tonight

Everybody's favorite sybarite takes the reins of the weekly industry get-together in Burbank, the entertainment center of the Universe. I think I spotted George Lucas there once, a couple of years ago when THX-1138 was being prepped for DVD release. (Sardo's is strategically located between the Warner Bros. main lot and the Warner Bros. Ranch.) The festivities start at 9:30, and I will see you there.

'Curtain up! Light the lights! Eeeeeverything's cumming up ROSES!'
 
Popular porn host and director, Jason Sechrest, will be hosting Sardo's 'Porn Star Karaoke' in Burbank, California this coming Tuesday, June 6th and he's got high hopes for the night of 6-6-06. 'I hear they're looking for a replacement host,' he winks. 'So seeing as I'm going to really be working it out to make a good impression, this is going to be one night nobody wants to miss!'

SECHREST promises loads of porn giveaways throughout the night and a very diverse crowd of porn stars for fans to meet and greet. Already confirmed to appear are stars from both sides of the sex pool including Shay Sights, Lisa Sparxxx, Brittany Andrews, Ron Jeremy, Eddie Stone, Blue Blake, Bret Wolfe, Christian Owen, Markie and many more.

'I tend to bring a mixed crowd with me when I do these things so I'm really looking forward to introducing some people to Sardo's who have never been before and hopefully bringing the bar another fan base,' says SECHREST.

Sardo's has been voted the No. 1 spot for karaoke in Burbank for several years running and just recently won the No. 1 placing from CityGuide for all of Los Angeles. The ever evolving 'Porn Star Karaoke' night has seen its share of mainstream celebrities in the past year, as well, including the likes of Hal Sparks, John Goodman and Richard Dreyfuss.

'There's a real feeling of family and camaraderie there at Porn Star Karaoke,'' says SECHREST. 'It's not really fan driven or celebrity driven at all. It's just a place for all of us in the industry to come out and chill together. I'm excited to be a part of that and to bring all sides of this fantastic industry together for one hot evening.'

Sardo's is located at 259 N. Pass Ave. in Burbank, California. 'Porn Star Karaoke' runs from 9:30 pm - 1:30 am each Tuesday.

Sin City contract performer Gina Austin is packing it in, effective immediately, "retiring" to softcore and magazine layouts. No specific word on future plans, but we'll get 'em, no doubt. Here's the announcement:


Gina Austin Retires From Hardcore

(Chatsworth, Ca)- Sin City Entertainment announced earlier today that performer Gina Austin would be retiring from doing hardcore effective immediately.

"We have appreciated the work she has done for the company thus far and wish her the best of luck in all of her future endeavors," said Sin City General Manager Scott Justice.

Gina Austin, a Penthouse Pet who signed exclusive to the company less than a year ago, has been featured in several popular titles, including ROCK HARD by Barrett Blade and the newly released DREAM TEENS 5 from fellow contract star Hannah Harper.

Burning Angel turns up the heat

The NYC-based company releases a gonzo title with a tattoo focus. That's a new one. The vid features Joanna Angel, who caught my interest with the Margaret Atwood tattoo (Quick! Go find a copy of The Handmaid's Tale and read it!). Here's the press release:

"Cum On My Tattoo" is available in retail stores now.

The first new release from BurningAngel Entertainment stars many of the BurningAngel starlets you love, including Pixie Pearl, Pinky Lee, Kylee Kross and Joanna Angel. But Joanna wanted more with this movie.

If this doesn't sell comic books...

The new DC comics featuring Batwoman have reconfigured her as a wealthy socialite who is also overtly gay. Good for her, we all have to find our own path, but do we really need to know what's going on under the tights? To say nothing of the dramatic potential if she were closeted and trying to keep it quiet, blackmail possibilities, romantic overtures from men, I really think they blew it here by not developing it.

A big hey-howdy-hey to Big Al Gonzales and all the guys 'n' gals at the DOJ

Looks like the Feds are "asking" ISPs to keep track of people's Web habits, citing the same old bugaboos of terrorism and child porn, which everybody is against and leads people to say "Yeah, okay, go ahead, take away more of my privacy rights."

Homeland Security to terrorists: Hit NYC again

Saying that New York has no icons worth protecting, the Department of Homeland Security has cut anti-terror funds to protect New York City by 40 percent, raising the question: "What would happen if Bernie Kerik hadn't backed out of consideration for Homeland Security head?" (He'd probably still be allegedly screwing Judith Regan in his little love nest near the World Trade Center site, but he'd certainly bring home the bacon.)

Swank vids join Deep Star VOD offerings

The Best New Production Company winner in January gets a leg up with a download connection. Here's the information for you people with unlimited hard drive space:


Deep Star Makes Swank Addition To VOD Catalog

(Chatsworth, CA) - Deep Star Broadcasting Systems, Inc. has added another important piece to its growing Video on Demand empire. Today’s announcement that Deep Star will now offer Swank Digital products through their VOD service will strengthen the popular “Fresh Young Girls” category. It will also bring Swank’s productions into millions of VOD households already serviced by Deep Star.

This latest addition expands the Deep Star menu with high-quality young girl movies. In keeping with the company goal to provide users with the best in every genre, Swank was a logical choice. “Swank Digital is yet another important studio to be offered by Deep Star Broadcasting so that we can continue to supply great new product, with a diversified mix" says Richard Arnold, CEO of Deep Star.

Long a power player in the magazine world, Swank entered video production last year and took home an award in January for "Best New Production Company." With a built-in audience already familiar with their style and quality, fans were quickly impressed by Swank Digital titles like Swank Extreme, Just 18 and Black Lust. Now firmly entrenched as a leader in “young girl” porn, Swank Digital gives Deep Star another collection of outstanding titles to offer their customers.

“Swank Digital is excited to team up with Deep Star, allowing our product to reach millions of viewers who can now get access to our DVDs from the comfort of their own home” says James Baes CEO of Swank Digital.

Deep Star VOD customers expect the very best in adult entertainment and with Swank titles now anchoring the “Fresh Young Girls” genre, that is exactly what they are going to get.

Heat on Demand: Delivering enough variety to spice up everyone’s life.

RFK Jr. in Rolling Stone: 2004 election stolen

Looks good to me. I remember walking precincts in Las Vegas the week of the election and considering the reactions we got I'm surprised that Our Esteemed President took Nevada by 20,000 votes, same as 2000. Here is the story as excerpted by Bradblog:

And here's Greg Palast talking about how they're gong to do it again:

Good one

Gay porn producer Andy Fair (There are two ways to read that. They're both right.) makes an interesting observation on the Rob Black/Extreme Associates legal problems. Read it all the way through, and see if the last lines don't hit you like a 2-by-4 in the gut.

Say ahhh
Clever title of the day

I dunno, this one just spoke to me. Maybe it's the rhyme. Maybe it's the picture. maybe it's both. Either way, here it is:

Lip Lock My Cock available now

Lock and load and get ready to explode as 15 cock-starved harlots greedily put the lip lock on any dick they can find in Lip Lock My Cock. Featuring the considerable fellatio talents of 2006 XRCOs Orgasmic Oralist Hillary Scott, Eva Angelina, whose oral prowess has been recognized at the January awards, and Mysti May, whose welcoming mouth is open and ready for business on yet another of our stunning Foil Covers!!!


What's the best thing about Brazil? Besides the music?

The women, of course. Take, for example, Paola Rey here. If you need more, take a look at the press release here straight from the keyboard of Scott Fayner:

SINCE PRETTY MUCH NO ONE UNDERSTANDS PORTUGUESE, TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT THAT THESE LETTERS ARE HOT! HOT! HOT!

DEFIANCE FILMS' BRAZILIAN LETTERS
HOSTED BY PAOLA REY

Blame your boner on Rio.

Or better yet, blame your boner on the sizzling sex-pots featured in Paola Rey's Brazilian Letters. They won't mind; in fact, they'll love it! So much so that they'd love for you to come back and visit their sultry shores any time you like!

The fifth largest country is hardly in a shortage of hot sluts with wild tales of sexual exploits, and Paola Rey is here to share with the world just how decadent the Latina is.

Attitude, spark and more attitude.

That's what's cookin' ‘round here…authentic recipes from the dirtiest of Latin chiquitas.

The 2 big highlights of this movie are Eva Angelina and Sativa Rose devouring each other and then manhandling Anthony Hardwood in a bone chilling 3 way ending in a wet and sloppy facial! Then Paola Rey herself gives one of her fans the ultimate fantasy, newcummer Dominique D'Amore who looks like she was just flown in from Brazil, joina Paola for a sizzling lesbian scene. Dominique has never shot porn before, she's never appeared in a magazine or anywhere else porn related, but Paola tricks this girl out and they make nasty, dirty love with a passion sure to blur your vision!

Also paired together are little mini Kat taking Brian Surewood deep in her ass. Hot latin spice Dana Vespoli takes on the bulging Ben English. And Young Daisy takes Kurt Lockwood for a sweaty ride.

An all star cast of south of the border babes. A first class hardcore, all holes filled XXX extravaganza!!

So add a little spice to your life by feasting on the likes of Daisy Marie, Sativa Rose, Dana Vespoli, Dominique D'Amore, Eva Angelina, Kat and of course Paola Rey as they heat up the night and fill their holes tight and do their men right.

…‘Cause everyone speaks the international language of carnal pleasures…
