Hands-on sex therapy in Vegas Saturday
If you're inconveniently far from Hollywood Boulevard but you can see the Stratosphere Tower you're in luck, the City of the Id has a get-together with Sunset Thomas and Morgan Ray at the notorious Green Door. Have a look:
Adult entertainment legend Sunset Thomas has teamed with XXX-Star Morgan Ray for " Sensual Healings"
The first episode will be shot at Las Vegas landmark swingers club The Green Door, Saturday, July 31st 10pm. All are invited.
" We're going to stretch the envelope of sexual advice" beamed Morgan.
" Sex and entertainment, that's what it's all about and that's what Vegas is all about," piped in Sunset (the (Princess of Porn).
" Someone has got to fill the niche." Morgan boasted. " It seems that anything to do with sex is a problem and left in the hands of Dr. Drew. What Morgan and I want to do is show the natural and healthy side of sexuality. We're going to answer and ask questions. Be frank about the freak!"
Morgan Ray is a rarity in the adult industry in that she has a Bachelor Degree in Psychology and Gerontology and a MA in Psychology with a specialty in Clinical family therapy and sex therapy. Morgan appeared on " Gene Simmons Family Jewels" and Showtime's show " Throat" as a therapist. She has also held sex therapy classes at The Green Door in Las Vegas.

The press release neglected to mention the address, but I found it: 953 E. Sahara Ave., Unit B20, in Las Vegas. Tell Sunset and Morgan that Tod says hi.

Tanya Tate skeds free live camshow at 1 pm Pacific time
There are a few things I'm working on to post later today, but this is in three hours so here it is now.
Adult Entertainment Superstar TANYA TATE Turns Up The Heat On Summer With A Special Free Web Cam Show!
The UK blonde bombshell is also featured in Comic-Con coverage!
(Hollywood, CA) One of the top adult entertainment actresses in Ireland and England, Tanya Tate is ready to get intimate in a special webcam show Friday, July 30th.

Tanya was photographed countless times by fans and various media outlets. The Orange Country Register and SuperheroHype.com were a couple of websites that posted images of Tanya in full costume.
"I had fun running about as Emma Frost!" said Tanya. "This isn’t the first time I got into costume, though. In Television X's Powergirls I put on a costume similar to the armor used in Predators. The fan reaction to my Emma Frost costume was incredible. Everyone had a lot of fun."

Stagliano makes return trip to Stossel show tonight
Evil Angel owner John Stagliano, who dodged a bullet recently when the federal obscenity case against him collapsed of its own weight of prosecutors' incompetence, will make a return appearance on John Stossel's show on Fox Business Network. The show will play tonight and be repeated over the weekend.
Here's what Evil Angel had to say about the appearance:
This week, John Stagliano will appear again on the Fox Business show Stossel to discuss the outcome of his federal obscenity prosecution which ended on July 16 with an aquittal by dismissal of all counts by the judge. Stagliano's previous appearance was on May 20.
The show's Fox website gives the following synopsis for the "Sex and the Law" episode:
"America is a little more squeamish about sex than many other countries. In Japan & Europe, companies run steamy ads on television without any fuss. But in America, one "costume malfunction" at the Super Bowl and we're still talking about it six years later. And when it comes to kids and sex, we have lots of laws meant to protect kids. But do they? Or do they cause more harm than good? When a Texas high school senior had sex with his freshman girlfriend, the state of Texas called it rape and put him on the Sex Offender registry, along with rapists and child molesters.
"And if you're gay, you can serve in the American military...as long as you don't tell anyone you're gay. That's the rule. Should it be? And what about porn? One man recently faced jail time for making videos we can't even describe to you. Is that right? When it comes to sex and America, we have lots of rules...but should we?"
John Stossel is the New York Times best-selling author of Give Me A Break and Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity. His "Give Me a Break" commentaries take a skeptical look at a wide array of issues, such as education, the economy, parenting, and more. His blog can be read here.
The episode of Stossel will air on the Fox Business Network on Thursday July 29 at 9pm & 12 midnight ET, Saturday at 7 PM and 11 PM, and Sunday at 10 PM.
I'm looking forward to hearing what Stagliano has to say about this. From my reading about the trial, Stagliano lucked out because of serious incompetence on the part of the prosecutors, who were unable to operate a playback of one of the videos in question, and could not establish Stagliano's connection to Evil Angel to the court's satisfaction.
From what I've gathered, Stagliano was saved by the prosecutors' incompetence. He could have been facing the fight of his life.
I'll be tuning in (which means I'll have to remove my usual block of Fox "news" programming) to see if my observations are correct.
Walt Dienay had the right idea. ALL his big stars were drawings on paper.
Stay tooned: Digital Playground offering 2011 contract girl calendar
Digital Playground has gone to the ink pens again and made another cartoon calendar featuring their contract performers. I know that's Jesse Jane in the number-two position, Kayden Kross at number four, Katsuni on the right, and if I knew the other girls better I would be able to spot them as well.
Have a look:
DIGITAL PLAYGROUND PRESENTS THE CONTRACT STARS COLLECTOR'S EDITION 2011 CALENDAR

Amy Fisher
Amy Fisher's back
A friend of mine was working on a hush-hush project, didn't want me to say a word about it, there was a new video in the planning stages that featured Amy Fisher. I was OK with that, because I can keep a secret and, honestly, I have never seen a story that was worth betraying a confidence.
Then I got this email from Brian Gross. I figure the coast is clear now, because if you want to keep something a secret you don't hire Brian Gross to send out press releases about it.
Speaking of keeping secrets: When I interviewed Amy Fisher at Adult Expo in January 2008, she specifically asked me not to mention the "Long Island Lolita" business, because it was years ago. She seems to have changed her mind on that.
Amy Fisher and Amy Fisher Productions Sign Exclusive Contract with Dreamzone Entertainment
New York, NY: Amy Fisher, also known formerly as the "Long Island Lolita," has signed an exclusive contract with the adult production company Dreamzone Entertainment to produce and star in her very own adult movies.
Fisher created her own production company, Amy Fisher Productions, after the success of her amateur sex tape that was released in 2007. Fisher will begin production in Los Angeles on four adult movies this summer, which will be released later this year and in 2011. Fisher will become an exclusive contract star for Dreamzone Entertainment.
At five feet, three inches tall, 105 pounds, incredible D-cup size breasts and the body of a swimsuit model, Amy Fisher brings out the true meaning of MILF.
Some of the biggest names in the adult industry will be working with Amy, including Lisa Anne, Dale Dabone, Shyla Stylez, Evan Stone, Marcus London, Tommy Gunn, and more. The first title will focus on Amy's trip to Los Angeles, as she goes through the process of deciding on her jump into the adult industry, all-the-while taking in the sites and sounds of Southern California, far away from her home in New York. She is introduced to those in the industry, and is slowly nurtured into the idea that making adult movies is exactly the type of career she has longed to do.
"I am excited to work with Dreamzone to make my dreams of becoming an adult film star a reality," says Fisher. "Our society loves sex. It feels so good and we should enjoy it. Sex is beautiful, powerful, and simply put, no one has the right to tell me what I can or can not do with my own private parts. This time, I get to make the choices on what kind of movies I want to make."
Fisher graduated college with a BBA in business marketing and made her way through her professional career. An award winning journalist with the Long Island Press for over five years, Fisher is truly a MILF, raising her three children with her husband, living her quiet life in the suburbs of New York. Fisher publisher her first book "If I Knew Then..." in 2004, which sold over one hundred thousand copies, and was heralded by Publisher's Weekly as "irresistible".
Fisher found her name back in the headlines with the release of an amateur sex tape which came-to-market in 2007. Amy Fisher Caught on Tape went on to sell over 200 thousand copies worldwide, proving that her looks and namesake were still something the mass media, and population, eagerly desired and demanded.

Porn Star Karaoke hosts 'This Ain't Glee' tribute tomorrow
The venerable weekly get-together starts year eight with a tribute to the latest parody to come down the pike, a spoof of the Fox network's "Glee" directed by Axel Braun. Performers scheduled to appear include Andy San Dimas, Scarlett Fay and Nicki Hunter, who will do double duty as regular PSK hostess and a member of the cast of "This Ain't Glee."
Here's the detail:
This Ain't Glee XXX Parody Comes to PSK
Hustler Video's "This Ain't Glee XXX" and its stars of the movie are all coming down to PSK this Tuesday night, July 27th! Some of the stars from the movie coming down to party and sing are: Simone Taylor, James Bartholet (Principal Figgins), Scarlett Fay (Emma), Andy San Dimas (Rachel). Nicki Hunter, our favorite host of PSK is also in the movie, she played Sue in Glee!
Copies of the Movie will be handed out to some lucky people!
Nicki can be heard weeknights co-hosting "Night Calls" with Christy Canyon from 4-7 p.m. PDT on Playboy Radio, channel 99 on Sirius and XM. Nicky was named Female Performer of the Year by the X-Rated Critics Organization in 2006 and is also directing for Meanbitches.com, thevenusgirls.com and DeviantDavid.com
With parody songs sung by super sexy and surprisingly symphonic porn stars, the "This Ain't Glee XXX" parody is as melodic as it is sensual. Even the characters pretty much look like the actual ones in the show.
"That was one of the most challenging parts about casting this film," said LFP Video's creative director, Drew Rosenfeld. "We had to find porn stars who were not only attractive, but who also resembled the character they were portraying and who could sing. But it was surprising how many of these people can actually sing well. A lot of them! We actually had to turn people away! I think we really learned how much untapped hidden talent lies within these people. They're not just one dimensional. They can screw and sing you a rock ballad. I think you'll be impressed when you see the film."
If you're anything like the rest of Hustler Video, which was dying to see parody versions of its favorite Glee characters strip down to their knickers and touch each other voraciously and without inhibitions, then make sure to pick up your very own copy of Hustler Video's newest spoof, "This Ain't Glee XXX." Between the hot girls, the steamy sex scenes, and the sensational singing, all Hustler Video would like to say is Don't come all over me. ...Watch the film for yourself. You'll get what we mean!
Hustler Video's latest TV spoof, "This Ain't Glee XXX," is NOW available to own on DVD and Blu-ray. ...And just in case you're feeling a little lonely for your own copy of the "This Ain't Glee XXX" parody, then click here to watch and sing along with the cast performing "Big Tushy Hos."
To view some excerpts of the singing auditions, go to YouTube.
Porn Star Karaoke is open to the public as well as to members of the adult industry. Since its start in July 2003, Porn Star Karaoke has become the longest-running ongoing weekly event in the history of the adult business.
Admission, 21 and older with photo ID, and parking are free.
Sardo's Grill and Lounge is located at 259 N. Pass Ave in Burbank, Calif. Porn Star Karaoke starts at 9 p.m. For more information, visit the Sardo's website. Adult industry professionals are invited to reserve tables, which are held until 10:30 p.m. Email mail@sardosbar.com.
Speaking of Axel Braun...
He's going after the big game now. Hot on the heels of parodies of "Batman" and the not-yet-released "Superman" he is now taking on (arguably) the biggest fish of them all: "Star Wars."
In 3-D, yet.
There is probably a serious discussion going on right now in the upper echelons of Lucasfilm, as the honchos decide whether to send a cease-and-desist to Vivid or do nothing so as not to give Vivid the publicity. Vivid isn't taking any chances, as you will see in the last paragraph of the press release.
Take a look:
AXEL BRAUN AND VIVID ANNOUNCE 'STAR WARS XXX: A PORN PARODY' IN 3D
LOS ANGELES -- Award-winning director Axel Braun announced today that he has started pre-production on "Star Wars XXX: A Porn Parody," to be exclusively distributed by adult powerhouse Vivid Entertainment.
The ambitious project will mark Vivid's first foray into the increasingly popular 3D format, and is set for release in September 2011.
"I really want to take my time on this one," explains Braun. "Every detail needs to be exactly right, and I want to make sure the legions of fans of the original movies are not disappointed."
"Axel definitely knows how to please the fans" said Steven Hirsch, Founder/Co-chairman of Vivid. "His attention to detail, and his respect for the source material put his parodies in a class by themselves, and we are absolutely thrilled to distribute another one of his outstanding productions."
With his record-breaking "Batman XXX: A Porn Parody" now claiming the top spot in the sales charts for the seventh consecutive week, and the upcoming "Superman XXX: A Porn Parody" shooting in August, Braun is happily celebrating his 20th year in the industry with a slew of high-profile projects that are sure to keep all the fans happily entertained for quite a while.

Andre Madness gets in bed with Adam & Eve
The veteran producer/director and the longtime adult industry giant get together for a distribution deal. The first DVD to be released under the deal will be an Asian-themed title begun by the late David Aaron Clark.
Here are the details:
Adam & Eve Takes the Madness Nationally in Distro Deal
CHATSWORTH, Calif. -- Like swine flu, a zombie infestation or Hulkamania, Madness is poised to spread across the nation with the help of adult industry juggernaut Adam & Eve -- Madness Pictures, that is, with the two companies inking a distribution deal.
Adam & Eve will distribute "Asian Mouth Club 5," the latest volume of the all-Asian oral line starring Kita Zen, Yuki Mori, Asia Zo, Beti Hana and Carmina Kai. The release of the title not only marks a new director for the series, but the first of Madness Pictures' releases to be distributed by Adam & Eve.
Andre Madness, owner of Madness Pictures, said, "We're excited that Adam & Eve will make 'Asian Mouth Club 5' available to the stores and the consumers it serves. I'm looking forward to taking our movies to the next level with this deal."
"Adam & Eve Pictures has loved working with Andre for many years now," Bob Christian, Adam & Eve's general manager, said. "We are delighted to expand our relationship with Andre by distributing his own line of movies."
Meredith Christopher, Adam & Eve Pictures' executive producer, added, "Adam & Eve Pictures has had a long and successful relationship with Andre Madness. When the opportunity to distribute his product came about, we jumped at the chance to work with him in this capacity."
"Asian Mouth Club," directed by late AVN Award winner David Aaron Clark, is continued by Mo, Andre Madness' protege and former mainstream photo assistant to a celebrity photographer. With his primo pedigree, affinity for Asian women and thriving talent as a pornographer, Mo's future with Madness Pictures is burning brighter than an over-lit c-light.
Following in the footsteps of classic pro-am gonzo titles, Mo doesn't just arouse but entertains with his probing interviews of the all-Asian cast in "Asian Mouth Club 5." Far from the normal line of questioning, Mo's freeform and conversational style elicits unexpected and entertaining answers.
"I search for something ethnically and personally different with each of my stars," Mo explained. "Instead of just skipping to the action I hope viewers will take the time to have some fun, and listen to what the girls have to say. These girls are all unique in their own way and I anticipate everyone who watches will agree that these scenes are an X-rated must see TV!"
The question of whether nudity will continue at San Onofre beach is not yet settled, and the Naturist Society is encouraging people to petition the California Department of Parks and Recreation to allow nude use to continue.
As I have said before, I think that nude recreation is one of those wedge issues that the puritanical right uses to build opposition to free expression by isolating unpopular beliefs. Nudism/naturism is a family activity for people who are interested. They gather in secluded and private places, shuck their clothes and play volleyball, swim, sunbathe, pretty much what everybody does around a pool or in a public park, only wearing a thin layer of sunscreen instead of clothes.
I went to the Capitol Records building on Vine Street in Hollywood (just down the street from Jeff Mullen's All Media Play/X-Play offices) for a tour of the legendary recording studios as part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Hollywood lingerie store Bizzy B will be hosting three performers today, including Natasha Nice, who is pictured there to the right. I have spoken with her several times and she lives up to her chosen name. (She is very Natasha.) I once captioned a picture of her "Mmm-mmm, that's nice, Max" but nobody got it so I cut that out. Too smart is dumb.
Bizzy B is on Hollywood Boulevard near where the Hollywood Magic Store used to be and now I have to buy my specialty decks of cards at Ventura and Tujunga but enough about my problems.
The appearance is set for this afternoon, and if I keep going you'll have no reason to read the press release here:
Valentine, Reyes, and Nice signing at Bizzy B July 24th
HOLLYWOOD -- Sexy and talented Adult Film Super Stars Angelina Valentine, Emy Reyes, and Natasha Nice, will be signing at Hollywood's top adult store Bizzy B on Saturday July 24th from 2pm to 6pm. The address is 6550 Hollywood Boulevard in the heart of Hollywood.
The special event signing will be kicking off a six-week stint at the popular adult store where the sexy and beautiful clients from Galaxy Publicity will be signing and meeting fans.
"We're very excited to have the girls signing here. We're sure fans and customers will enjoy seeing these beautiful women in person", stated Bizzy B's owner.
Valentine and Nice will be co starring in a new comedy pilot that's completed taping, that also co stars Priya Rai, titled "The Goomba Gourmet Show".
Reyes recently completed filming a lead role in Erika Mc Lean's new movie, and also co hosts the popular radio program "Inside The Industry" with James Bartholet on latalkradio.com.
Angelina Valentine is represented by A List Talent. Emy Reyes and Natasha Nice are represented by Type 9 Models.
And if you go, tell them I said hi.

Blast from the past
Playboy has cleverly offered a pictorial of actress Crista Flanagan, who is featured in the '60s-based TV series "Mad Men," in a series of pictures deliberately staged like retro images from the history of the magazine.
Not the classic, well-known images like the cover of the first issue, either. This pictrial pays tribute to more-obscure stuff like a Playmate centerfold from 1964 and a cover from 1960. Somebody had a lot of fun with this, and so did I, looking for the original pictures in the Playboy Cyber Club.
Performer Chanel Preston has made a splash, and is now featured (albeit upside-down) on the cover of the new Jules Jordan DVD. The vid looks interesting with a cast including Lexi Belle and Alexis Texas, but the sedate image of Preston is counterbalanced with the double exposure on the index.
Have a look:
CHANEL PRESTON COVERS "FASHION FUCKS" DVD FROM JULES JORDAN VIDEO
"It Girl" Chanel Preston Is Featured Prominently on the Cover of Her Second Released Movie!
MARINA DEL REY, Calif. -- Rising star Chanel Preston covers "Fashion Fucks", the new DVD from Jules Jordan Video. "Fashion Fucks" is only the second released movie for the new performer, but Chanel Preston's immense sex appeal made her an obvious choice for the box art. Other studios are bound to notice as Chanel's lustful eyes and toned body draw consumers to pick up a copy of "Fashion Fucks". Jules Jordan, owner of Jules Jordan Video says, "'Fashion Fucks' is a movie about the kinky happenings on modeling sets. Obviously a movie about models requires some pretty hot girls on the cover, which is why we chose to feature Chanel Preston. She is stunning on the cover and even better in her scene. I can't wait to get Chanel in another movie."
Chanel Preston says, "Thank you so much to Jules Jordan and Chris Streams for putting me on my first DVD cover. I spent all weekend signing at the Exxxotica LA adult convention, and it was really exciting to be able to show people the movie. I sold and autographed a ton of copies, and will continue to sing the praises of 'Fashion Fucks'."
In "Fashion Fucks" from director Chris Streams, Chanel Preston plays a model on the set of a glamour fashion shoot. Having recently shot for top mainstream and adult photographers, the role was easily accessible for Chanel. The scene was her first time working with Erik Everhard. Chanel says, "Working with Erik Everhard was so arousing. I loved how he devoured me and took control. In the end I licked my Michele Sunglasses clean after he unloaded all over my face."
XCritic.com reviewer Don Houston sees a bright future in store for Chanel Preston. His rating of "Highly Recommended" is in large part a result of Chanel's performance. Houston writes, "What potential she has ... A near flawless figure ... Her sex-positive attitude jumped through the camera ... There was some serious reply value ... A 'must have' thanks in part to the performances by gals like Chanel Preston... "

Found another oopsie in the Disneyland blog. Some longtime veteran of the theme park (she has worked there five whole years) referred to the 50-year anniversary as when "I had just began."
We've only just began...
When I had just began. Participles are tough.
In other what-the-hell-are-they-thinking-over-there news, the iconic waterfalls that have been in front of the Bonita Tower since it was built in the late '70s are scheduled to be removed and paved over. The waterfalls have been a great place to cool off on a hot day over the years, and Disney fans have started a movement to try and save them.

Einhorn publishes new book
If you aren't familiar with Andrew Einhorn, you're missing something. I first found his work with the 2003 book "Naked Happy Girls," which lived up to its title with more than 300 pages of pictures of smiling woman hanging out at Einhorn's modest NYC apartment. Einhorn parlayed that into a series on Playboy TV and has now published stills form that series in a self-published book, which will be available next week.
There is also an accompanying DVD if you prefer your visuals to move. Read, click, buy, enjoy.

Porn Star Karaoke turns seven
Porn Star Karaoke at Sardo's Grill and Lounge will celebrate its seventh anniversary tomorrow, and I just got a message from Seymour that indicates it will be a party not to be missed:

Hope to see you there and thanks for 7 years! Seymour
PSK has been writen up in mainstream and adult magazines, and has been the talk of the town since it started. The Lovely Mrs. Hunter has been asked about "the bar where they have porn karaoke" several times when she tells people what I do.
If the anniversary isn't enough of a draw, Aussie star Monica Mayhem (who is an excellent singer) will be cohosting this week. Attaboy, Seymour, always give 'em a little more than they expect.
Nicki Hunter has been the hostess for the last year or so, and is doing a bangup job with her energy and porn-star allure. She always makes you feel like she is doing it just for you. I recommend getting a seat by me or Konnie if you can. We are two of the survivors who have been there since the inception (Konnie is a founder, I started going a couple of weeks later) and boy can we tell you stories.

And for heaven's sake reserve a seat this week. You're going to need it.
The latest from our La Jolla correspondent
Producer/director/talent Dave Cummings checks in with his latest dispatch from the trenches. Dave is one of the true gentlemen in this business, and we're lucky to have him..
FROM THE TRENCHES
BY: Dave Cummings Porn Star/Director/Producer
July, 2010
Gosh, much of the summer has flown by already; Father's Day, Memorial Day, and the 4th of July have come and gone, and most of my coed groupie girls have graduated or are on summer vacation in their hometowns/countries; but, thankfully, there are still enough women looking for sex fun, and the swinger pool parties are numerous, all of which somewhat alleviates the near-absence of sex due to decreased porn shoot bookings which have slowed down to a trickle during the heat of the summer and the heat of the piracy which has considerably dampened the need for, and frequency of, porn filming.
We porn guys have a high appetite for sex, so the present slowdown needs to be offset lest we go bananas. I keep hearing that a lot of the guys and girls who appear in the films are bored with the lack of porn "work". I imagine that some of the girls are resorting to off-camera "playing" with each other, and that many of the porn studs are taking a lot of cold showers. It's not like there are a lot of jobs in this economy that need us, but at least the girls can do cam-related work. We guys have little opportunity to fill jobs while hoping for porn bookings. Because of the less than vibrant economy, even some gentlemen's clubs are looking far from crowded.
Besides the piracy and its adverse effect upon the financial duress heaped upon us, now we are also threatened by entities and people/officials who want government to force us to use condoms in front of the camera, or face fines. And, the Adult Internet might be getting beat up next year by the availability of a new Top Level Domain (.xxx) that might somewhat attempt to divert your enjoyment of present .com sites. I personally will not succumb to .xxx, but rather will keep my sites running on the .com adult sites that so many of you have grown familiar with for years and years. I also will not patronize any .xxx sites in the future (and, I hope you won't either); the dot com sites have the content/branding/girls that I like, so why should we viewers change to anything else!
I have a "tip" of sorts for you, something I've noted over the years that might enhance the sex play part of the lovemaking between you and your significant woman. Of course, we guys think that we already know exactly what acts/techniques/etc our girl wants during sex. However, if you can somehow make it happen, I recommend that you marry your lady up with another woman, and then carefully watch and listen to what she does to, for, and with that sex partner; I recommend this because I bet she does what she wants YOU to do to, for, and with HER! I sense that girls pleasing other girls act out what they themselves want, and most enjoy.
Notice how much time she puts into foreplay, and what kind of foreplay she uses to sexually please and excite the other woman. How much kissing and touching does she exhibit? Is she being slow and gentle, or medium, or is she using a variety of techniques. Is she licking the nipples, or sucking them -- and, how fast, hard or soft does it appear she's doing that? How does she use her tongue for cunnilingus; is she licking in the same direction, or is her tongue going everywhere, up/down/sideways/in-and-out/etc; which "69" position is she pleasing her lady with -- maybe it's HER favorite, and she'd like being in that position more than the one you like best (via communication when you two are alone, why not "research" what you saw and heard earlier, and maybe play in BOTH, or experiment with even more 69 positions?) If she's using a strap-on, how teasing and forceful/gentle/fast/etc is your lady exhibiting, and might she be unknowingly "modeling" for you the way she wants you to please her during intercourse? What position(s) does she prefer to use on her partner? How about other toy-play? After climax of the other woman, does she caress and snuggle with her---I bet she won't just turn over and fall asleep like some guys do!
Bottom line, we can learn a lot from watching and listening to our girl "playing" with another female. If you can't make such a twosome happen, why not use a blowup doll and make a game out of using it as an observation and communication tool to enhance the sex and lovemaking between yourselves? Or, how about a "date" night with you and her in the bedroom watching a suitable porn movie (let her select which one -- that might be super informative for YOU?); perhaps act like two reviewers expressing what you saw and liked, and things you found exciting and worthy of possibly experimenting with sometime? I could go on and on, but let me tempt you with trying to find other tidbits about her and her desires. Lovingly communicate; please her; love her; and let her show you HER sexual preferences. Enjoy!
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and please use sun block.
"Malice in Lalaland," the new Miss Lucifer vid starring Sasha Grey, has gotten distribution through Vivid. It looks like the first thing they did was take Kagney Linn Karter off the cover, which strikes me as petty and short-sighted. Kagny Linn Karter may be exclusive to Zero Tolerance right now but my guess is that her picture on the cover would help Vivid move a few more units.
I have used the Kagney Linn Karter cover here because I like it better.
VIVID ENTERTAINMENT TO RELEASE BREAKTHROUGH MOVIE 'MALICE IN LALALAND' FROM MISS LUCIFER PRODUCTIONS, STARRING SASHA GREY, JESSE CAPELLI AND KAGNEY LINN KARTER
LOS ANGELES -- Vivid Entertainment, the world's leading adult film company, has won U.S. distribution rights to the critically acclaimed and highly anticipated breakthrough title "Malice in Lalaland" from Miss Lucifer Productions.
A strong buzz has already begun for the movie, produced by Joachem Goldstein and Lew Xypher that was shot on 35mm. The film combines animation, live action, hot sex scenes and a rock 'n roll score with remarkable post production and special effects. It's the second production from wildly talented director Xypher whose 2008 debut release "Hell is Where the Party is" received high praise.
"We are delighted that "Malice" will be distributed by Vivid. It gives us total confidence that it will be handled in the same highly professional way in which the movie was produced," said Jurgen Claes, CEO of Miss Lucifer Productions.
The surreal story is a contemporary adaptation of both "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass," two iconic books by Lewis Carroll. It takes viewers to a strange world where they meet its even stranger characters, including Malice (Sasha Grey) who has escaped from an asylum after a nasty round of shock treatment. She follows a midget in a rabbit suit (Stephen Powers) down a hole in a basement and Xypher's phantasmagoric imagination serves as tour guide as Malice takes her bizarre trip through Lalaland.
"We found this movie to be irresistible and we plan distribution for this September. The packaging alone, with its 40 page booklet of photos will make this a choice collector's item. It has mainstream sensibility and extraordinary production values with the erotic punch that only scorching sex scenes can deliver. It's filled with fantastical twists and turns that are inspired by Lewis Carroll but it never forgets that it's designed to be a turn on," said Steven Hirsch, founder/co-chairman of Vivid.
In addition to Sasha Grey and Stephen Powers, the cast includes Ron Jeremy, Chayse Evans, Kagney Linn Karter, Andy San Dimas, Mackenzee Pierce, Jesse Capelli, Alyssa Reece, Kristina Rose, Juelz Ventura, Sadie West, Phoenix Marie, Keni Styles, Tommy Gunn, Billy Glide, Chris Johnson, Danny Mountain, Alan Stafford, Jenna Presley and many more. http://www.maliceinlalaland.com/

From the film's provocative story line, to its satisfyingly hardcore sex scenes, the viewer will be drawn into the rabbit hole; right alongside Malice. "Malice in Lalaland" has it all. Its engaging story will be sure to capture even the most selective hard-core aficionado's attention for the whole ride through Lalaland.

The spy Steve Hirsch wants to come in from the cold
One step forward, 25 steps back
No sooner does Vivid do something cool like pick up "Malice in Lalaland," they do this.
It was bad enough when Steve Hirsch was chasing Nadya Suleman, trying to get her to star in a Vivid movie, but that was just distasteful. His new target is accused of being a Russian spy.
Isn't there somebody over there who can tell him to frickin' knock it off? You are making us all look bad, Steve. Cool it.
My email is tod@tod-hunter.net and my cell number is pretty easy to find, I know they have it at LA Direct and they're in the same building as you. Contact me if you have another idea like this. I want to be able to break it first.
VIVID OFFERS SEXY RUSSIAN SPY ANNA CHAPMAN A MOVIE DEAL
LOS ANGELES -- (July 19, 2010) -- Vivid Entertainment, the world's leading adult film company, has offered sultry Russian spy Anna Chapman a movie deal.
The red-haired Ms. Chapman was the youngest (28) and most glamorous of ten spies who pleaded guilty to espionage charges last week and was deported to Russia on July 8th. She attracted the most attention because of her sexy good looks and her ability to blend in with American life.
In a letter to Ms. Chapman's American attorney, Robert M. Baum, Vivid's founder/co-chairman Steven Hirsch made it clear that he understands that she may not yet be in a position to negotiate business deals but "we wanted her to know that we are ready and eager to talk terms with her." (To read letter click here http://vivid.com/news/2010-07-18/vivid-offers-sexy-russian-spy-anna-chapman-a-movie-deal/)
Hirsch noted that his studio has distributed movies starring such high profile celebrities as Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian and most recently E! TV Network star Kendra Wilkinson. Vivid also offered Nadya "Octomom" Suleman $1-million to make a film with the studio, but she declined.
"Anna was obviously the hottest spy we've seen in years and she was clearly the media's favorite. Though she wasn't very successful as a spy, we think she can be a terrific actress in one of our upcoming feature films. We would be willing to send our top director, B. Skow, to Moscow to work with her," said Hirsch.
Gaudeamus igitur
Spotted an old friend on the cover of a new "Barely Legal" video the other day. The old friend is Royce Hall, the iconic building at UCLA with its distinctive twin bell towers, one with three openings on a side, one with two. I guess the "Boarding School" is UCLA.
This reminds me of the time I was watching "The Caine Mutiny" at Melnitz Hall at UCLA as part of a Stanley Kramer retrospective. The movie is set in the U.S. Navy during WWII and the characters were graduating from Annapolis -- but the graduation ceremony was taking place in front of Royce Hall, a few steps away from where we were watching the film.
Even funnier, there's a reverse shot that shows the flagpole flying a California flag....
So, like, what's this all about? Huh?

Random Notes from a Red Notebook: Exxxotica comes to L.A.
I took the Red Notebook to the inaugural L.A. Exxxotica show last week.
The 11 am starting time for B-to-B on Friday is, like many things in the adult industry, overoptimistic. A cursory look through the exhibitors (after crossing a Rubicon of blindingly bright pink carpet) reveals the familiar group of hucksters and hangers-on that flock to these shows like remoras around a shark. Sellers of T-shirts and lingerie, hard-on pills, luxury sheets and the ever-present get-out-of-porn faction of Pink Cross and XXXChurch... Actual production is represented by a smallish Evil Angel booth in front and an LA Direct Models booth right next to it. Some contract performers are promised at the house "Fantasy Island" booth in the center of the floor...
The football-shaped South Hall has been named Tom Bradley Hall after the longtime mayor. I wonder how he would feel about an adult-entertainment show in a venue named for him. He was a cop for 20 years, he probably wouldn't mind... I seize the opportunity to take a leisurely walk around downtown, stopping at the Pantry for a late breakfast (the full breakfast menu is now served till noon) and ambling past the old Arco Towers to my bank in the building that housed the fictional McKenzie Brackman firm in "L.A. Law."... When I get back, a newsdrone from Channel 4 is standing on the pink carpet, arms crossed, a smug smirk on her face, getting ready to interview somebody. She is very aware of the background, telling her camera guy "The last thing I need is for something to show up in the back of the shot."... She asks the Exxxotica rep for "buzzwords" she can use instead of "porn." ...
What the well-undressed are wearing nowadays
As the crowds begin to filter in in the late afternoon, I talk with Tanya Tate and Alexander Raymond at the the Fantasy Island booth. Photographer Gordon walks up, takes my pen and Red Notebook, and helpfully writes down names of performers he has seen on the floor already. Tanya Tate, Angelina Armani, Jennifer Dark, Diana Doll, Mackenzie Miles. Alanah Lee, Nina Hartley, Delotta Brown.... Tony Batman walks by, doing commentary on a cordless mic that echoes through the hall. "Tod Hunter is here if you want to get interviewed."...
The conference about bad press moderated by Brain Gross and Alexander Raymond turns into a conversation among the 10 or 12 participants, as does the conference with Kelly Shibari. I like these intimate conversations myself. You can get the info you want by asking directly rather than sitting in the back of a crowded room and hoping the topic you want will come up...
Merchandise for sale includes strapless panties, which I remember from the '70s when some Playboy Playmate was selling them as bikini bottoms. Everything old is new again...
I run into Mercedes Ashley walking the floor and tell her that I posted her list of fans she's going to do scenes with, and I joked that I was not RDOTHUNTER, who was on the top of the list.
"So I'll see you Monday?" she asks me. She didn't hear me right and thought that I was RDOTHUNTER. We finally straighten that out. I sure hope that guy shows up, if he doesn't she'll be mad at me...
"No. Full body."
A new lube company has a 30-foot-long plastic sheet with bikinied models slipping across it... There are models in lingerie and temporary Exxxxotica tattoos all over the floor. They walk around in pairs, they are in dance cages and playground equipment in the front of the show, playing in inflatable jump houses, one or two are usually on a giant swing in the back of the hall, where a lot of the action is... A stage in the back of the hall has a series of presentations...
A "Legends of Exxxotica" booth in the back of the hall has veteran performers including Julia Ann, Dyanna Lauren, Luc Wylder, Alexandra Silk, and Ginger Lynn... Luc, Alexandra and I reminisce about a long-ago trip to San Francisco that was immortalized in a "Sex Across America" DVD. I remember it well. It was Aurora Snow's first gig and we spent a great three or four days in what Herb Caen called "Baghdad By The Bay" in that happy era before "Baghdad" got a knee-jerk negative reaction... I see jessica drake and Jenna Haze at the Fantasy Island booth.... James Bartholet and Galaxy Publicity have a little tent that the performers can change clothes in... Galaxy client performer Cindy Jones shows me her "Never Give Up" tattoo. I take a waist-up picture of her and she says, "No. Full body." OK.
One of a kind
Demi Delia has a booth with her talent, including Randy Spears, an old friend I haven't seen in a long time.... Natasha Nice... Joanna Angel's Burning Angel has Dana DeArmond, Sparky SinClaire, Kleio and Draven Star in a large pink booth... I put a hot-pink Burning Angel sticker on the front of the Red Notebook and ask Joanna Angel to write something. "I don't know what to write," she says, taking her time writing "Tod" and then following it up with a tasteful "Eat my pussy bitch! XOXO Joanna Angel." ... Sophie Dee and Andy San Dimas are at the Evil Angel both. I seize the opportunity to meet San Dimas. She is signing an inner sleeve of a Jonni Darkko vid ("The Best of Head") and I ask her how she got the cover.
"I sucked Jonni Darkko's dick," she smiles. "For the film," she adds when she sees me starting to write it down. The two covers she is signing (the Darkko and the Belladonna title "Slut!") are a study in contrasts: "Belladonna likes natural makeup, Jonni Darkko likes a glamour shot."
Sophie Dee is mesmerized by the expanse of pink carpet in front of her. "It's so bright," she purrs. I step next to her to see her point of view and I can see how it can grab your attention. It's pretty bright... Pink Cross honchette Shelley Lubben walks up, hands me a bottle of water. At the OSHA stakeholders meeting I told her that I'd probably need water during the day. She remembered... Nice thing about porn, even the in-house enemies are friendly...
Fox 11 news is here, talking to fans... Alexis Texas is at the Fantasy Island booth. I tell her I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to talk with her at the Taschen party. "It was great, being on that cover," she tells me. "Dian Hanson is a great writer and it was a good experience." ... Nearby, Lexi Belle puts her feet up on the table, causing a flurry of flashes. I walk over and reintroduce myself. (We met at AEE, but I don't kid myself that I'm the only person she met at AEE.) She hands me a LexiBelle.com sticker "for when you need a sticker" and I put it on the inside cover of the Red Notebook ... A Spanish language TV station is here... Evan Stone, hair freshly cut for an "Avatar" spoof, plays air guitar...
Chanel Preston. Picture by Steve Nelson, AINews.
Lynn LeMay has a wide-eyed 19-year-old would-be performer with her. Karen Blake by name, she stands about 5-4 and has red hair and porcelain-white skin. Her 34D natural breasts bounce inside her halter top as she walks ... I take her around, introduce her to a few people.... Belladonna, between posing for fans in a bathroom set, tells me that she is starting a new line of makeup that will be for sale in adult stores in the fall.... I mention to Dana DeArmond that Karen may not be a good fit for Burning Angel and Dana says: "Look at me: No tats and they hire me." Oops...
Kelli McCarty, Alektra Blue and Lupe Fuentes all are at the Fantasy Island booth... As is Chanel Preston, in an elegant dress that wouldn't be out of place at a cocktail party... A mainstream writer friend and I talk with Brad Armstrong. He expertly asks Armstrong open-ended questions that elicit informative answers, even when we are all distracted by Shelley Lubben taking the mic from the main stage and railing about getting cancer from the adult industry. I gotta hang out with this guy more... Digital Playground contract performer Kayden Kross says "I shoot the same two days every month"... Alisha Madison at the Galaxy Publicity booth tells me that she used to work under the name Ms. Panther. No wonder she looked familiar... At the legends booth, Kylie Ireland tells me "People think that I only shoot my own stuff, or that I only work for Eli Cross" while rolling her eyes. I take that to mean that she is available for work...
Mr. Marcus is selling and signing books at a booth. He says he will give me one to review, but the inventory here belongs to Book Soup, where he will be doing a signing August 30. The guy behind the counter works at Book Soup, and I pepper him with questions about how the place has changed since it was bought by Pasadena bookstore Vroman's after the death of founder Glenn Goldman in January 2009. He is equally eager to question me about the early days of Book Soup, where I had a ringside seat as one of the store's first regular customers and supporters due to the happy accident of working at a nearby record store and hitting it off with Glenn. We also talk about books: He suggests a couple of things for me to read, and I tell him about the Loeb Classical Library, an almost-century-old imprint from Harvard University Press of classical writings with the original Latin or Greek text on the left-hand pages, and English translations on the right. It turns out we both liked Caesar's Gallic Wars in Latin class and he is very interested that it's available in this format.
Sparky Sinclaire. Picture from Manny Miles.
While the FAME awards are being handed out, I chat with Sparky Sinclaire at the Burning Angel booth. I admire her tattoos and ask her if they stop her from getting work. "Yeah, a lot," she says. "I did a schoolgirl thing and I had to be totally dressed. With my hands behind my back," she laughs, pointing out the tattoos on her fingers. The work is beautiful, with multi-colored flowers and some truly stunning black ink work. "I was young, I was working in a tattoo parlor and I was bored. There are people all over San Diego with tattoos like this."
Exxxotica has said that they will have another show in L.A. in June. I'm looking forward to it.
Personal interaction
Susannah Breslin, who has been a longtime observer of pop culture and the adult industry, had her interest in the Old Spice commercials well repaid. Have a look.
Cindi Loftus had an item intimating that Nick Manning and Dyanna Lauren had gotten married and I thought I'd have some fun with it so I got a picture of Dinah Shore and Burt Reynolds (and if you don't remember, hoo boy were people flipping out over that in the '70s) and Gloria Swanson and William Holden from "Sunset Boulevard" but I looked them both up on IAFD and the age difference between them is two years so screw it, nobody is chasing their lost youth, they're the same age.
But I have the pictures ready if I need them.
You are here
An amusing and illuminating map of human sexuality.
Tony Bones called to tell me that he has a new co-host on his weekly Planet Porn webcast tonight.
Her name is Alexa Jaymes and if you want to see her in action click over to TSR Network at 6:00 PDT and have a look. You may have to subscribe, I'm not sure because to be honest I usually watch Internet radio live in the studio, not online.
Tell Tony I said hi.
The face is familiar, but...
'To
gild refined gold, to paint the lily...'
In my web travels I came across the picture you see to the right. I
recognized her immediately as Cynthia Myers, Miss December 1968 (one of
the major lust objects of my youth) but the picture didn't look right,
so I went to the Playboy Cyber Club to see what the original looked
like.
I couldn't find the original.
A closer look revealed that the
model was not Cynthia Myers but Carol Imhof, Miss December 1970 (and one
of the minor lust objects of my youth) and a search through the
pictures on the Cyber Club showed the original, which is below on
the left.
Personally, I like the
original picture just fine,
and wonder why somebody felt compelled to change it with a Photoshop
Boob Job. A lot of the character of the original shot was also removed
when the
image was lightened. I like the forthright look in her eyes and the
almost-coverage of the sheer material in the pleated top.
And
I'm beginning to appreciate Carol Imhof a lot more.

Speaking of New Sensations...
The prodco is getting in the toy business, and just in time, with ANME going on this week. Here's the press release, with the location removed because the last thing they need is a lot of people who weren't invited barging in on the show.
NEW SENSATIONS UNVEILS HIGH-END NOVELTY LINE AT ANME SHOW JULY 11-13
The Female-Designed Novelty Line Is Positioned to Dominate Market in Both Price and Functionality
CHATSWORTH, Calif. -- In a move that will shake up the adult industry, New Sensations unveils its high-end novelty line at the 2010 ANME Founders Show. Retailers, etailers and distributors are invited to visit booth 139. While merchandise specifics will be closely guarded until the show, the philosophy behind New Sensations' female-designed novelty line is well documented. Similar to their acclaimed Romance series DVDs, New Sensations utilized feminine and masculine perspectives to create unique novelties able to provide the most intimate pleasure for women and men.
Scott Taylor, New Sensations' President says, "Too often sex toy manufacturers get caught up in the aesthetics, when the simple rule is, functionality is king. After years of development under female direction, we've generated practical products that are testing off the charts in areas of pleasure and enjoyment. Once that was accomplished, then the designs were made stylish in order to create a line of attractive novelties I know consumers will love."
ANME founder Nick Orlandino says, "We are pleased to welcome New Sensations to this year's show. The selection of ANME as the venue to reveal their new line of novelties is a testament to the show's popularity and success since its inception."
Belle Casten, New Sensations' Vice President of Global Sales, says, "The details about the novelty line have been one of the most difficult secrets to keep. We are all so excited to debut the line with the grand launch at ANME. Understanding the struggle in making the jump from movies to novelties, we spent a long time in the development and testing stages. I hope everyone stops by our booth to see the products first hand."
This year, the ANME Founders show focuses on creating a more personal event for buyers and manufacturers to meet and showcase the latest in adult toys and novelties. The fifty booths provide the perfect setting to connect with clients and potential buyers. The staff at New Sensations is honored to be a first year novelty participant in the show.

One more thing: The L.A. Convention Center is an easy four or five block walk from the Original Pantry Cafe at 9th and Figueroa. Eat there. Trust me. I've been going there since I was a kid and I'm OK. Bad money
I heard that there are counterfeiters bleaching $1 and $5 bills and printing $100 bills on them. The bad thing about this is that the counterfeit bills feel like real money because they are printed on real-money paper. Those pens that detect counterfeits by checking the paper pass them right through.
If you are not familiar with the design and security features of real $100 bills, click here and read up. There are new $100s coming in February 2011 that have a ton of new security features and will be much harder to counterfeit than the current ones, but until then, make sure you know what money is supposed to look like before you accept it.
Lexi rings Juliland's bell
Lexi Belle, Juliland jGrrl of the Year
Performer Lexi Belle has been named Juliland.com's jGrrl of the year. If you saw the Clown Face pictures (like the one on the right) you know she has been doing excellent work with Juliland and this means that there will be more great picture sets to come.
I talked with Richard Avery this week and he showed me some previews of coming attractions, so this is not speculation about "good stuff to come": I know it. Take a look:
Lexi Belle Named Juliland jGrrl Of The Year
LOS ANGELES -- Fan favorite and AVN and XRCO award winner Lexi Belle has been named Juliland.com's jGrrl of the Year, it was announced by site co-owner and photographer/director Richard Avery.
"Lexi Belle is one of the best collaborators I've had," Avery said. "She brings a cuteness and erotic energy to the shoot that I've been lucky enough to capture. This made her an easy choice for jGrrl of the Year.
"When I told Lexi she had won, she asked me one simple question: 'When do we play?'"
Lexi and Richard went back into the studio and played their way through nine new photo sets that have Lexi running the gauntlet from sexy cute to dirty schoolgirl to scenarios that have no names. "Lexi brings the sexy across the board," Avery said.
She also performed in six short video features, masturbating atop a washer and dryer, getting choked while getting off, putting on a masturbatory show for herself and, as always, telling it like it is.
Members of the Juliland site can see jGrrl of the Year Lexi Belle in 13 photo sets ranging from glamorous to gritty, including the iconic "Clown Face" set. There are also 10 short solo videos and an audio podcast interview available on the Juliland site, with more to come.
Juliland offers subscribers some of the world's hottest women as they have never been seen before, including Lexi Belle, Tori Black, Audrey Bitoni, Michelle Maylene, Bobbi Starr and other porn stars, nude models and beautiful women, all shot by Richard Avery in his own unique style. The site was started by photographer/director Richard Avery and now-retired award-winning adult performer Juli Ashton in 2006 and now offers almost 300 photo sets, more than 350 short videos and close to 100 audio podcasts.
"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "The Jay Leno Show" combined: Zip. Nada.
And in one of those gleefully ironic coincidences, NBC is broadcasting the Emmys this year. The stupid, short-sighted decisions of the NBC brass will be thrown in their faces on their own network.
And, in November, the triumphant return of Conan O'Brien to late night on TBS.
In other news, Conan O'Brien walked into the commissary at Warner Bros. Studio this week and apparently the place fell silent. This is at a major studio, where people work on motion pictures and TV shows every day. And these people were stunned.
Make of that what you will.
Naughty PR executes social media campaign for Pure Play
New media reppery Neughty PR just finished its first major commission, a marketing campaign for distributor Pure Play Media. Here's the press release:
NaughtyPR Develops, Delivers Successful Social Media Campaign for Pure Play Media
LOS ANGELES, CA -- Delivering on their promise to create and implement successful Social Media Marketing campaigns for the adult industry, NaughtyPR has concluded its first major project -- that of Pure Play Media.
"It's been great working with your team this month to take advantage of your tweet service, and Alyss (Heart) has been a great resource in setting up the Pure Play blog," said Trish Raven of Pure Play. "We achieved exactly what we set out to do with you: establish ourselves online and grow our following. At this point we are content to move forward on our own."
NaughtyPR consults and implements marketing strategies and campaigns with its main focus on Social Media Marketing as well as more traditional means such as press releases and public marketing.
"This is a perfect example of the level of service we provide," said Pete Housley of NaughtyPR. "We not only consult and implement, but teach and enable our clients to handle their projects going forward, with or without our day-to-day assistance."
"In Pure Play Media's case, we were able to work with them start to finish in 30 days and netted some extremely strong results. Being able to have us get a company started and trained in how to maintain its Social Media strategy is important for a company's long term success and return on our clients' investment."
"Some of our clients are independent operators -- solo talent as well as smaller mom-and-pop operations," added NaughtyPR's Kelly Shibari. "Some clients need us on a day-to-day or weekly basis due to time and workload constraints. Some clients, like Pure Play, are able to implement our strategies and move forward on their own. It's important that we're not a cookie-cutter operation; we customize strategies for each client as if it were our own baby."
The American Association for Nude Recreation is planning a repeat of last year's World Record Skinny-Dip, which dropped 13,648 naked butts in the water in June 2009. The record attempt is planed for Saturday at 12 noon PDT, and wherever you are in the U.S. there is a nudist club near you that can help you join in the new record.
Grab a towel and some sunscreen and click here. And like I said last year, if you have never been to a nudist park, keep in mind that although nudity is accepted -- and in some places it's mandatory -- overt sexuality is not accepted at all, no matter what you may have seen in British B-movies or adult videos. Get out of line and you can find yourself outside the gates with your clothes in your hands.
And if you're going to be at Exxxotica at the Los Angeles Convention Center: There's always next year.
That's what I'm telling myself.

This just in -- PT inks six-pic pact with Hustler
Veteran performer-turned-director Paul Thomas, who left Vivid last year in an action thought by many to portend the Apocalypse, has just signed a six-picture deal with Hustler Video. The contract gives Thomas "full editorial control" and the first feature is expected in Sept. 1.
Press release follows:
Larry Flynt Announces Six Picture Contract with Hall of Fame Adult Film Director, Paul Thomas
Hustler Publisher and LFP Video CEO Enthusiastic about Endeavor
BEVERLY HILLS, CA -- July 8, 2010 -- Larry Flynt, Hustler Publisher and CEO of LFP Video, and Michael H. Klein, President of LFP, today announced the partnership between LFP Video and renowned adult film director, Paul Thomas.
"Paul Thomas has a unique approach to each movie he creates. His cutting-edge style and high quality of filmmaking is why we are excited to be distributing his movies through LFP Video," Klein said.
Thomas, who recently directed films for Vivid Entertainment, has acted in over 500 films and directed nearly 300 films, winning seven Adult Video News Awards and two X-Rated Critics Organization awards for best director. He was inducted into the X-Rated Critics Organization Hall of Fame as well as the Legends of Erotica Hall of Fame. He is also a member of the Adult Video News Hall of Fame.
"We are happy to announce our partnership with actor, director and producer Paul Thomas; a pioneer in the adult industry," stated Mr. Flynt. "We are confident that together we will produce quality films in keeping with the Hustler brand."
Based in Los Angeles, Thomas is expected to release his first LFP Video on September 1st, 2010. Throughout the next year, the contract outlines the release of six feature films in which Thomas has full editorial control.
"For the first time in my long career I am my own boss. I am free to mine the dark recesses of my soul and create the finest line of sophisticated yet truly erotic films on the market. Larry and I have known and respected one another for many years. It makes me very proud to be a part of the Hustler team," stated Thomas.
I first met Shawn at an abandoned factory that was used for mainstream and adult shoots. He was fast-talking, fast-thinking and warm and friendly. He told me that day "The great thing about making a movie is that nobody knows what it's supposed to look like until they see it," a quote that has inspired me in my writing because nobody knows what a story is going to look like before they read it, either.
His background as a performer gave him sensitivity to performers' needs when directing, and his creative directing ideas included shooting setups in black and white and sex scenes in color. I once pointed out to him that trading off color and black-and-white was done by Powell and Pressburger in the '40s and he was fascinated that he was inadvertently following the lead of mainstream movie giants.
I also remember an evening spent with him and director Greg Steel at the AMC in Woodland Hills watching, second-guessing and trying to figure out what was going on in David Mamet's movie/puzzle "The Spanish Prisoner." We were still standing in front of the screen -- Greg, Shawn, me and a couple of strangers -- trying to figure out what the hell happened when the employees chased us out because they had finished cleaning out the auditorium and were ready to let in the next audience.
The adult industry has lost a lot of characters in the last few years, the distinctive, picturesque people who make things more colorful and interesting. Jim Holliday. Henri Pachard. Buck Adams. Shawn Ricks was one of those characters. I'm going to miss him.
He was 46.
Scotty Coxxx birthday celebration at Porn Star Karaoke tomorrow night
Coxx will be celebrating his birthday at the weekly adult-industry networking get-together on Tuesday. There have been a lot of birthdays lately and PSK itself will be celebrating its own birthday in a week or two.
SCOTTY COXXX BDAY BASH AND EXXXTRAVAGANZA this Tuesday at PSK
Come party with Scotty Coxxx this Tuesday, July 6th at Porn Star Karaoke. Scotty & friends plan to bring the house down this Tuesday night to celebrate his birthday and keep the 4th of July party going!
Some of Scotty's movie credits are: KITCHEN TEASE (VENUS GIRL PRODUCTIONS); BRAZILIAN STYLE TEASE & DENIAL (VENUS GIRL PRODUCTIONS); THE SUPER DIVAS DIARY (VENUS GIRL PRODUCTIONS); SCREW MY WIFE PLEASE #38 (WILDLIFE PRODUCTIONS) and CUM FILLED THROATS #4 (DEVIL'S FILM).
Come join Scotty and our HOT & SEXY hostess, Nicki Hunter. Nicki is here weekly at PSK and she can be heard weeknights co-hosting "Night Calls" with Christy Canyon from 4-7 p.m. PDT on Playboy Radio, channel 99 on Sirius and XM. Nicki was named Female Performer of the Year by the X-Rated Critics Organization in 2006 and is also directing for Meanbitches.com, thevenusgirls.com and DeviantDavid.com
Porn Star Karaoke is open to the public as well as to members of the adult industry. Since its start in July 2003, Porn Star Karaoke has become the longest-running ongoing weekly event in the history of the adult business.
Admission is 21 and older, with photo ID and parking is free.
Sardo's Grill and Lounge is located at 259 N. Pass Ave in Burbank, Calif. Porn Star Karaoke starts at 9 p.m. For more information, visit the Sardo's website. Adult industry professionals are invited to reserve tables, which are held until 10:30 p.m. Email mail@sardosbar.com. What are you doing Friday? That's what you think.
The L.A. County Museum of Art has suffered the poor judgment of an idiot director who looks at Los Angeles as an ignorant backwater. I'm OK with him thinking that, but I think it kinda disqualifies him from running the art museum. One of his first acts as director was unilaterally cancelling the Museum's long-running film program until an indignant uprising of film fans convinced him that maybe there should be a film program in the world capital of film.
In what looks like an act of atonement, the museum is starting a four-week look at the American films of director Ernst Lubitsch, whose comedies set the standard for wit and sexy sophistication in the '30s and '40s.
Miriam Hopkins finds out where her garter went.
Opening night is "Trouble in Paradise," a salacious number with Herbert Marshall and Miriam Hopkins as a con-artist team out to fleece trophy-wife-turned-widowed-perfume-magnate Kay Francis. Marshall moves in on (and moves in with) Francis, much to the dismay of Hopkins and displeasing two middle-aged suitors (played by Edward Everett Horton and Charles Ruggles) who are vying for Francis' affections. The film's dialogue is so filled with sexual innuendo that after the Hays Code went into effect the film couldn't be re-released.
Almost 70 years after its first screenings, "Trouble in Paradise" is still a high-water mark for sophisticated comedy and I highly recommend it. Other movies in the series include "Ninotchka," "The Shop Around the Corner," and the way-daring "To Be Or Not To Be," which had the nerve to mock Hitler in 1942, right after the U.S. got into WWII and Allied victory was by no means assured.
If you love movies, or if you just like them and want to get to know them better, this would be a good chance to make the acquaintance of a classic director.
LACMA is located at 5905 Wilshire Boulevard near Fairfax in the Miracle Mile district.
The Senior Citizen matinee at LACMA on Tuesday is "Singin' in the Rain," a classic that I first saw at LACMA in 1973. Gene Kelly, who starred and co-directed, came out after the film that night in 1973 and got a 20-minute standing ovation. That'll cost you $2 if you can get away.
Pulse and DVSX get in bed together
Prodco DVSX has inked a kicensing and distro deal with Pulse Distribution effective with the July 13 release of the DVSX pregnancy fetish title "Screwin' for Two." Press release with contact information follows:

Parody onslaught continues with 'Glee' spoof from Hustler
The latest TV show to get the porn-parody treatment is "Glee" and Hustler has stepped up to release it Tuesday. Here's the detail:
This Ain't Glee XXX Parody Available on DVD & Blu-ray July 6th!!
(Canoga Park, CA) -- America's Independence Day is right around the corner. It's always at times like these that we gather in groups with our friends and family to celebrate the good things that life has to offer such as the hot dog eating contest in Coney Island, fireworks, peach cobbler, and most of all, porn. And seeing as how the 4th of July is a time to commemorate our forefathers having fought for our freedom and thus signing the Declaration of Independence, it also seems like an appropriate time to recognize our country's freedom of speech by releasing Hustler Video's newest parody, This Ain't Glee XXX.
As a new genre in porn is created -- the porn musical -- the This Ain't Glee XXX parody is nothing if not absolutely brilliant. So many basic human needs are fulfilled in this film: the need to see gorgeous naked women, the need to see gorgeous naked women having sex, and the need to break out in to song when the moment is right. With McKenzee Miles, Alexa Nicole, and Tara Lynn Fox all dressed in tiny cheerleader uniforms and Andy San Dimas playing the nice and VERY naughty role of Rachel, all necessary pleasures of the mind, body and soul are fulfilled in Hustler Video's parody, This Ain't Glee XXX.
"Oh yeah, I had a blast!" boasts This Ain't Glee XXX parody star Andy San Dimas. "A couple of weeks before we started shooting we all went to a professional recording studio for a day and recorded the songs that were later used in the film. I felt so sexy and professional! Like I was Lady Gaga or Britney." When asked what other porn musical she'd like Hustler Video to do in the future San Dimas said, "Well, my mom really likes Jesus Christ Super Star, but I was always a big fan of Fiddler on the Roof."
Are porn musicals the wave of the future? Perhaps it is too soon to tell, but for now, you can count on your favorite adult film company, Hustler Video, to provide you with the absolute best entertainment possible. Breaking new ground and taking a risk has always been one of Hustler's top priorities and the creativity behind the This Ain't Glee XXX parody is no exception. So get ready to watch the magic unfold in front of your eyes as Hustler Video's spoof of the hit Fox show "Glee" comes alive with singing, dancing, kissing, and yes, some hardcore fucking!
The This Ain't Glee XXX parody will be available to own on DVD and Blu-ray Tuesday, July 6th!
Random Notes from a Red Notebook: A dedicated follower of Taschen
The Beverly Hills Taschen store was the location for a signing party for Dian Hanson's latest anatomical opus, "The Big Butt Book," with Hanson and front-cover model Alexis Texas there to affix their signatures to the book. The store is a little gem, dark and narrow with display shelves carrying brightly-lit colorful books. The first person I ran into was Mark Kernes, who smiled that he had taken several pictures of Alexis Texas.
"3-D?" I asked.
"Of course."
Derek Hay from LA Direct Models and publicist Brian Gross are standing near the signing table, watching as a guy from KPCC interviews Dian Hanson and Alexis Texas.... Hanson is professionally appraising women's backsides as they pass by the table... A back door leads to a narrow staircase that leads up to a small glassed-in room where bartenders are mass-producing vodka drinks with cranberry or orange juice... Nearby there is a small patio filled with people. The effect is like a Manhattan loft, which was probably the idea... I chat with a man who tells me "I work for Stevie Wonder." He's an account executive at KJLH... We talk about the demise of porn and local radio. Their morning drive personality is Steve Harvey, who broadcasts out of Atlanta....
Alexis Texas, Dian Hanson. Photo courtesy Taschen
Back downstairs. A guy
squats under the table to get an upskirt shot of Alexis Texas....
There's a guy here who looks like mainstream movie maven Leonard Maltin,
but he probably isn't. The guy who looks like my old boss Mark Goodson
is definitely not Mark Goodson... Cruising the bookshelves, I see that
Hanson's complete anatomical oeuvre, "The Big Book of Legs," "The Big
Penis Book" and the hard-to-find "The Big Book of Breasts" are all
available here, plus a set of pocket-sized books of pictures from
Private, pin-ups by Gil Elvgren and a six-volume history of Playboy
magazine that makes my mouth water. When I win the Lotto, this place
will be my first stop....
The object of the enterprise. Photo courtesy Taschen
Derek walks in with
Tori Black,
elegantly dressed and statuesque in porn-star heels... I meet up with
Breanne Benson, who I interviewed at Adultcon, and I point out to her a
book of pictures of Steve McQueen by photographer Bill Claxton, who was a
friend of McQueen... A waitress walks through with a silver tray of
cranberry drinks. I take one and wander back out onto Beverly Drive... A
few days later I found out that somewhere in the crowd were two
Playmates of the Year. If they had been naked I probably would have
recognized them....

Taschen store is located at
354 N. Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills. Bring money. You'll need it. Bluebird flies Private coop
Newish prodco Bluebird Films and longtime production/distribution giant Private are splitsville, as Variety would say in 1966. Here's the press release:
PRIVATE'S DEAL TO DISTRIBUTE BLUEBIRD'S CONTENT IS TERMINATED
VENICE, CA -- In September 2009, Eyeworld and Fraserside, an affiliate of Private, entered into a joint venture agreement to distribute Bluebird's content on a worldwide basis. However, after only a few months into the relationship, the parties agreed to part ways. Nicholas Steele, CEO of Bluebird America, stated: "Both Eyeworld and Private terminated the joint venture. Bluebird is now handling worldwide distribution on all platforms directly."
Paul Chaplin, the Chairman of Eyeworld, stated: "Several months ago, we terminated the joint venture based upon the numerous breaches of Fraserside. In response, Fraserside also terminated the relationship. However, we understand that they are out there trying to claim that they still have the right to distribute Bluebird content. We talked to Ilan Blundervitz, Private's CEO, about all this. His stance was 'I want Bluebird content. I need it'. We agree that Bluebird's content is the best content around, but we do not agree that Private can come back after the termination and claim to have distribution rights to Bluebird's content."
As a result, in May of this year, Eyeworld filed suit against Fraserside in the Superior Court of California seeking approximately one million dollars in damages and a judicial declaration formally dissolving the joint venture. Chaplin continued: "Unfortunately, instead of accepting the fact that both sides terminated the deal, we are in litigation. After we filed suit for money damages and dissolution in San Francisco, Fraserside filed a baseless and inadequate lawsuit in Los Angeles against Bluebird. We are confident that both Eyeworld and Bluebird will prevail in this litigation, and Fraserside's baseless claims will be dismissed."
Bluebird Films is a global producer of premium adult content, helmed by Paul Chaplin, the owner and creative force, and also the recipient of AVN's 2010 Best New Director -- Foreign Feature. With award winning producer/director and Bluebird CEO Nicholas Steele, as well as working studios in Los Angeles, London and Prague, Bluebird is taking flight as a force to be reckoned with in 2010.

jessica drake, auteur
The redoubtable Wicked Pictures contract performer writes, directs and stars in her latest magnum opus. I know that some people look at the lower case in her name as an affectation, but when I asked her if she was serious about it she looked me in the eye and replied "As serious as you are about the one 'D.'"
That's good enough for me.
3 Days In June: Writer, Director And Star jessica drake Releases Her Most Ambitious Project To Date
Wicked Pictures, the 2010 XBIZ Peoples' Choice for Porn Studio Of The Year, is pleased to announce the release of 3 Days In June. Written and directed by contract star jessica drake, the ambitious movie firmly establishes the glamorous AVN Best Actress award winner as a true triple threat talent in the classic Wicked tradition. This compelling couples release arrives in stores nationwide June 30th, 2010.
Ms. drake's literate screenplay casts her as a woman making her way as a bartender at Fuego, a club frequented by vacationing college students looking for a little fun away from home. Young Cody (expertly played by Dane Cross) is your run-of-the-mill frat boy, complete with poser friends. When their paths cross it sparks an intense and passionate fling. Three days later, he wants more but she thinks he should move, on setting the stage for a sensual story that delivers more than a few very erotic twists before its charming conclusion.
The carefully hand-picked cast brought together by jessica is one of the most unique seen recently, with such exciting newcomers as Briana Blair and Mallory Rae Murphy sharing the screen with fan favorites like Dana DeArmond and Hall of Fame legend Herschel Savage. Seth Gamble and TJ Cummings shine in well-wrought supporting roles.
Like all Wicked productions, this sensual couples release was shot and mastered in widescreen 16x9 HD, and comes complete with a stylish O-card featuring jessica in her shapely glory.
Look for 3 Days In June in stores today. It's jessica drake's sexiest statement to date as a triple-threat writer, director and actress - and it's available exclusively from Wicked Pictures.
Tchotchkes
Showmanship
I opened a parcel from Adam & Eve the other day and was pleased to see these goodies come tumbling out of the package along with a copy of their new DVD "The Perfect Secretary: Training Day," which features their at-the-time contract performer Kayden Kross.
I don't need another key ring, especially one that looks like a little handcuff, and sticky notes (oddly enough, not 3M Post-its but manufactured by Bic) aren't that hard to come by either but it's this kind of thoughtful addition to press packages that can make the difference between just another video and one that gets remembered when awards time comes around.
I'm just saying.
About half an hour before the meeting started, when there were still empty seats. I sat nest to Dave Cummings there in the front row.
June 30, 2010
A day with Cal-OSHA
I spent a long, somewhat-productive day at the stakeholders meeting with Cal-OSHA yesterday, in a filled conference room with a number of colleagues including AVN's Mark Kernes; Adult Industry News honcho Steve Nelson; performers Dave Cummings, Nina Hartley, Christian, Angela Aspen, Brooke Haven, Jeremy Steele, Cannibal, Eric John and Vicki Chase; Dan O'Connell and Moose from Girlfriends Films; Jeffrey Douglas, Diane Duke and Joanne Cachapero from Free Speech Coalition; Wicked Pictures vice president Joy King; attorney Michael Fattorosi; producer/talent Dan Leal; Bill Margold; LA Direct owner Derek Hay; agent Mark Spiegler; Shelley Lubben and her Pink Cross girls and AIDS Healthcare Foundation people Michael Weinstein and Ged Kenslea.
The impression I got from the five-hour marathon meeting was that Cal-OSHA is aware that shooting without condoms is in violation of federally-mandated workplace safety standards, but Cal-OSHA is willing to work with the adult industry to help formulate a porn-specific workplace-safety policy that would meet the needs of public safety within the non-condom preference of the adult industry.
Let me repeat the important part of that: shooting without condoms is in violation of federally-mandated workplace safety standards.
"We're the center of [adult] production," Dr. Peter Kerndt, director of the Sexually Transmitted Disease Program for the L.A. Country Public Health Department, told me. "It's legal, it's out in the open and we're trying to help."
I thought the meeting was a hopeful and positive step, and we in the adult industry represented ourselves and our colleagues professionally. Mostly.
We can work with Cal-OSHA, or we can fight them and all move to Nevada or Australia or Czech Republic. I think we should stay and fight for our interests, because if we don't the rules will be set for us.

A night at Sardo's
After an afternoon of serious business it was nice to amble over to Sardo's Grill and Lounge for a frivolous evening of Porn Star Karaoke.
My usual table had been reserved for Konnie (this is what happens when you don't show up for a couple of weeks) so I grabbed a chair on the platform. I then went to the DJ platform to pay my respects to Nicki Hunter and Tom. She asked about the Cal-OSHA meeting and I told her about it. She doesn't share my optimistic view and is against government regulation. Makes sense... PSK regular Shon Encinas is in his usual center-wall position... The stars start to hit in a wave. Lisa Ann takes the center booth, Tee Reel (who is celebrating a birthday) takes his reserved table on the platform, Konnie takes her table with Denis Marti, Powder XXX glad-hands his way around, Roxanne Bliss, Tony Bones, Sasha Heart... Tony shows me pictures in his cell phone from a recent sojourn to Disneyland that included a visit to Club 33. He then follows up with a picture of himself in Walt Disney's private apartment, standing by the window in front of the lamp that burns day and night to symbolize Walt's presence in the park. I still am one-up on him because I have been in the bathroom and seen the shower with four showerheads at various heights to accommodate the grandchildren, but I don't know how long that will last...
Nicki coughs on-mike, then recovers by saying "I'm hoarse -- I blame it on the cock I was sucking earlier." ... Shon Encinas sings "Let it Rain," which I can't remember whether it was by Eric Clapton or Cream, so I look it up in the songbook. Eric Clapton... The buxom lady in the strapless red dress is not Angela Aspen but PSK regular Gabi. No wonder she didn't recognize me... Ron Jeremy enters with Selena Swallows... Nicki presents the birthday cake and sings "Happy Birthday" to tee Reel. He follows up with "Smalls Like Teen Spirit." ...
Nick East, haven't seen him in a while. He chats with Roxanne Bliss, then turns to me and asks how long we've known each other. I have to think about it, it's like 1997 or 1998 when we met... Nikki surveys a busty civilian getting ready to sing: "If your tits were any bigger you'd fall over." ... Dane Cross stops by, we chat as much as we can under the loud speaker... The rose guy gets here at his traditional 11:40 pm, right before Konnie and Denis Marti do a duet of "Quando Quando Quando." The chart is slow and romantic and it works well, with a saxophone on the bridge that sounds like Stan Getz... Can't beat that, I'm outta here.
Porn Star Karaoke takes place Tuesday nights at Sardo's Grill and Lounge, 259 N. Pass Avenue in Burbank, just off the 134 over the newly-repaired Pass Avneue bridge. See you there.
Damn it
I know that U.S. bookstores are hurting, but English bookstores? Ouch. Some of my most vivid memories from a trip to London in the '70s are of the London bookstores including some fusty used bookstores up and down Charing Cross Road, the Cinema Bookshop right across from the British Museum, and the amazing five-storey Foyles which kept its books organised by publisher and required you to present your books to a clerk who would issue you a slip that you would take downstairs to the cashier who would ring you up and take your money and issue you a receipt which you would take back upstairs and give to the clerk who would then hand you a brown-paper-wrapped parcel that had your books in it. They modernised that system in 1999, finally.
The redoubtable Taschen imprint continues its bit-by-bit tour of sexual anatomy with the release of "The Big Butt Book." They have announced a release party/signing at their store in Beverly Hills with editor Dian Hanson and cover model Alexis Texas tomorrow evening.
The reception is free and open to the public but it's first come first served and the store is tiny so expect a line.
Dian Hanson and Alexis Texas to sign and launch "Big Butt Book" at TASCHEN Store Beverly Hills Wednesday, June 30th, 2010 7:00 to 9:00 pm
TASCHEN Store Beverly Hills 354 N. Beverly Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210
In association with Playboy, TASCHEN Sexy Book Editor Dian Hanson and Big Butt Book cover girl Alexis Texas will be making a special appearance at the TASCHEN Store Beverly Hills, June 30th, to launch and sign the heavily anticipated Big Butt Book.
The Big Butt Book explores this perennial fascination with female booty -- from small and taut to large and sumptuous -- in the fourth installment of Dian Hanson's critically acclaimed body parts series. Over 400 photos from 1900 to the present day, including works by Elmer Batters, Ellen von Unwerth, Jean-Paul Goude, Ralph Gibson, Richard Kern, Jan Saudek, Ed Fox, Terry Richardson and Sante D'Orazio, of butts ranging from petite Pam Anderson's to sumptuous Serena Williams', are contextualized by interviews with porn icon John (Buttman) Stagliano, filmmaker Tinto Brass, artist Robert Crumb, bootylicious butt queens Buffie The Body, Coco and Brazil's Watermelon Woman, plus Eve Howard and her life-long spanking obsession.
This event IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC but due to space limitations it will be on a first come first serve basis.
i know, it's a blog, former -- oops, FORMAL -- rules of grammar don't apply.
Typo watch
OK, I know that social media aren't exactly The New Yorker and the occasional typo or contraction shouldn't be that big a deal. I also am familiar with what I call "spellcheck errors" where a legitimate word that is wrong (like "form" for "from") can sneak through the most meticulous copy editing and there is also the homonym problem where the past tense of "lead" is also spelled "lead" instead of the correct "led," causing head-scratchers like "He lead the group down the path."
Even though I know all that, this recent posting from the Disney Parks blog made me cringe. "Formally" for "formerly" is a howler. Then again, considering the vandalism the company is doing against the Disneyland Hotel one crummy misspelled word pales in comparison.

AHF files latest suit
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation filed yet another suit in its ongoing crusade to mandate condoms in adult production. Today's foray involved a lawsuit against adult-industry facility AIM Healthcare Foundation by sometime adult performer Diana Grandmason, aka Grandmaison, who says she left the industry last year.
When I asked her what name she worked under, her attorney grabbed her arm and said "That's a private matter," which she obediently parroted.
She was there along with her "pro bono" attorney (who just happens to be on the staff at AIDS Healthcare Foundation) Brian Chase and AIDS Healthcare Foundation president Michael Weinstein in a 21st-floor office on Sunset near Vine. Her daughter was nowhere to be found. I attended the press conference along with mainstream reporters from AP, KPFK, KFI, KABC channel 7 and two crews from KTTV Channel 11. If anybody was there from AVN or Xbiz I didn't recognize them.
Grandma(i)son has been identified as Desi Foxx. Foxx was notorious for working with her daughter Elli, including two editions of "Mother-Daughter Exchange Club" from Girlfriends Films.

I don't know what AIDS Healthcare Foundation is up to. When we chatted after the press conference, Weinstein and AHF PR rep Ged Kenslea scoffed that Free Speech Coalition head Diane Duke "thinks we're trying to take away her testing business," which was either carelessness or checking me out to see if I knew the players.
I said "They don't do tests."
The OSHA stakeholders meeting is tomorrow. The plot thickens.
Through early morning fog I see....
Will Ryder rides again with 'Not M*A*S*H'
The irrepressible Will Ryder -- who was NOT in his office at Hollywood and Vine when I dropped by after the AFH press confab -- has returned to the sitcom motherlode again, this time with the redoubtable warhorse M*A*S*H, a TV series that ran longer than the Korean war that was its setting.
Ryder has shown an adept touch with his sitcom parodies adding sex to the familiar formulas and casting performers who can replicate the rhythms and personas of the characters.
He also has had the foresight to trademark "Not" as a title element, using the argument that if "...for dummies" can be trademarked, so can "Not..." when applied to a porn title. I would use the little R-in-a-circle doohickey but it doesn't register on this interface.
You're In the Army Now; M*A*S*H Porno Coming in August
(Hollywood, CA) The 4077th M*A*S*H is set to come to life when Not M*A*S*H XXX hits stores August 10th from X-Play/LFP Video and the producers are hoping that the United States Congress doesn't get a chance to see the movie or they might reinstate the draft.
"It really makes war seem like a lot of fun which of course war isn't but this movie is and with the 4th of July holiday this week we want to dedicate our final days of editing Not M*A*S*H XXX to all of the men and women in uniform serving around the world," stated the movie's patriotic director Will Ryder.
The movie is a red, white and blue picture-perfect porn parody of the popular television show M*A*S*H which ran on CBS from 1972 until 1983 climaxing with the most-watched television episode in U.S. history. The cast for the porn spoof many of whom were not even alive then was hand-selected from dozens who decided on a career in porn over one in the military and from early photos and gossip heard on the set, this might be the most accurate and entertaining porn parody of all time even giving Batman XXX a run for its money.
"Who cares?" wrote one gonzo porn fan on the popular news-blog site lukeisback.com making it perfectly clear that he was no fan of porn spoofs prompting Ryder to pause and wipe away an all-American tear.
"I agree there are way too many shitty porn parodies being thrown out there today but there are some really great ones too and I refuse to say that Not M*A*S*H XXX is our best or most accurate or most entertaining movie yet. I just refuse to say that even if it might be completely true because I don't want to seem like I'm over-hyping while we have two wars going on and an oil spill in the Gulf."
Eric Swiss, the 2010 AVN & XRCO Best Actor winner is spectacular as Hawkeye and Krissy Lynn is wonderfully bitchy as Major Hot Lips Houlihan.
The movie feels and looks like an episode of the TV show as Radar needs to get laid so Col. Blake begs Hawkeye and Trapper to line up a nurse to deflower the lad but when nobody volunteers the boys are forced to offer an unauthorized experimental boob job to one of the nurses who becomes so grateful, she bangs Radar. Major Burns and Houlihan suspect the worse but can't prove a thing as hardcore sex explodes at the 4077th M*A*S*H in this very funny spoof of the classic TV show.
"I loved being in this movie it was a lot of fun," Krissy Lynn remarked. "And can you believe how perfect Frank Burns is? I mean just look at him."
Burns was played by Alec Knight in what is worthy of best supporting actor consideration. "We had the real Frank Burns on our set as far as I'm concerned he was that good," stated co-producer Scott David of X-Play.
"I agree and I also have to say that Chad Diamond is simply amazing in the role of Trapper and Radar oh my God you just have to see Radar." Ryder exclaimed boasting about Jeremy Conway who played the young lad from Iowa.
The gorgeous Chanel Preston gets the unauthorized boob job and leads a sexy pack of 4077th nurses including Bailey Brooks, Briana Blair and Alexa Jaymes. Miko Sinz plays Korean house girl Sun-She the in-house girlfriend of Colonel Henry Blake played hilariously by Herschel Savage. James Bartholet gets in drag and becomes Klinger.
"This movie might just top them all," Ryder pondered.
Classic television XXX style invades the US Army as the popular show M*A*S*H gets the full porno treatment. Not M*A*S*H XXX is due in stores everywhere August 10th. Ask your favorite store to order it.
Pictured below is the cast of Not M*A*S*H XXX some topless.
"Not" is a Registered Trademark of X-Play in the world of adult entertainment titles.
None of these people is Helen Mirren. Trust me.

Take a mainstream movie with two Oscar winners that's set in a Nevada brothel and a brothel owner with a penchant for publicity and what do you get? A 1400-word press release. Have a look:
June 28, 2010 (Carson City, Nevada)
The REAL Summer Of "Love" Is About To Begin!!!!!!!
After You've Seen Love Ranch, The Deadly Brothel Love Triangle Movie Starring Academy Award Winners Joe Pesci And Helen Mirren...
Then Have Sex YOURSELF With The Real-Life Love Ranch Girls, Starring Hundreds of The Hottest Hookers In The World!!!
At The One And Only...
DENNIS HOF'S WORLD FAMOUS LOVE RANCH BROTHEL!!!!
With the June 30th, 2010 world premiere release of the long-awaited movie Love Ranch starring Joe Pesci and Helen Mirren, the true-life blood & sex story of America's first-ever legal whorehouse will be told for the very first time. But after movie-goers get their fill of decades-old hardcore history, they then can personally visit and partake of the actual REAL Love Ranch Brothel (www.LoveRanchTheBrothel.com) located in Carson City, Nevada, where hundreds of gorgeous legally-licensed prostitutes await them 24/7.
The longtime sister-brothel to the more famous across-the-street Moonlite Bunny Ranch (www.BunnyRanch.com), the REAL Love Ranch has for years been the favorite whorehouse among locals-in-the-know in the Carson-Tahoe-Reno area -- wildly popular for it's sultry sensual women, and fair prices. But with the international celebrity shock-waves set off by the Love Ranch movie, Nevada's best-kept brothel secret is now out.
"Dennis Hof's world famous Bunny Ranch has set the gold-standard for brothel excellence for many years now," says Love Ranch General Manager Marc Medoff, speaking of the brothel featured in the ongoing HBO hit reality-TV series, "Cathouse." "Today, as America and the world have had their imaginations set ablaze with the incredible brothel tale told in the Love Ranch movie, the REAL Love Ranch brothel is now poised to become as world-renowned as our more famous sister, the Bunny Ranch."
Indeed, for those intrigued by the Love Ranch saga -- a tawdry tale of sex and violence that exploded in 1976 with the savage murder of highly-ranked South American heavyweight boxer Oscar Bonavena at the brothel's front gate -- the Love Ranch movie is only the "beginning."
Located just a short distance from Reno -- Nevada's capital and a major tourist mecca for skiing and gambling, the Love Ranch brothel has been been doing a booming business in sex-for-pay for decades. The companion brothel to the internationally-known Dennis Hof's Moonlite Bunnyranch (www.BunnyRanch.com)--universally-known in it's own right as featured in the long-running number one HBO reality-TV show smash hit "Cathouse," the Love Ranch is known for it's wide diversity of working girls of all shapes, sizes, colors, ages and cultures -- from just-turned-18 girls-next-door, to veteran porn stars, they have them all. At any given time dozens of fully-licensed, medically-inspected, and always-ready-to-have sex Love Ranch Lovers (as they are called) are standing by to drop their panties at the first flash of greenbacks and start to party ("party" is brothel parlance for having sex).
With part of the filming of Love Ranch done in downtown Reno -- the local town council was so pleased they proclaimed it "Love Ranch Day"-- the final release has brought a level of glitz and glamour to the Love Ranch cathouse and surrounding areas that can only be described as electrifying. And it has also brought forth a flood of thousands of new "applications" from women around the globe seeking to work there.
"The phones, the emails, the faxes, it's been a non-stop daily blizzard of women everywhere sending in their pictures that want to come and work at the Love Ranch," says Medoff, "And why not? With the release of the Love Ranch movie everyone knows who we are, and wants to be part of the excitement. If you are a working girl at the Love Ranch brothel, you are now an instant celebrity. We are hiring new women every day and our waiting list is now in the hundreds and growing."
Likewise the success of the Love Ranch movie is expected to lure thousands of new customers to the REAL Love Ranch brothel, already resulting in the facility having to double their support staff, add four new stretch limousines to their fleet, expand their full-bar area, and bring in a fleet of caterers to meet the increased demand. "Everyone who found the movie's depiction of the Nevada brothel industry so fascinating, and the girls so attractive, want to come here to continue the experience," says Medoff. "And we guarantee to keep that feeling of excitement going, and to take it to the next X-rated level. Whatever type of sex you want, we got it! -- that's the REAL Love Ranch promise!"
As always through, the strength and popularity of the Love Ranch whorehouse -- or any brothel--rests on one thing, and one thing only -- the girls and their ability to seduce, and please their customers. Known as "Love Ranch Lovers," the group of brothel Lovers is an always-growing, always-rotating team of young ladies and women that live and work at the Love Ranch, and are considered as sexually skilled as any professional working girl in the world. The standards to be a Lover at the Love Ranch are high, and the vast majority of applicants are turned away.
Visiting the Love Ranch only once just provides a small "taste" of the quality and quantity of girls available to customers, with most clients returning again and again to check out the "fresh talent." The "line-up" of ladies changes daily (and can be checked on their website message-board weekly), with up to 30 or more women in a typical showcase.
On a recent weekday afternoon dozens of Love Ranch hotties sprawled out throughout the spacious and comfortable Love Ranch, hanging out with customers at the bar, chatting with men in dark secluded corners, and taking clients on "tours" of the facility--intimate walks usually ending up in a private bedroom at one end of the brothel or the other.
Who was "on duty?" Dark-haired sultry and experienced August Knight, known with pride as the brothel's resident MILF-monster; tall perfect-bodied blonde 20 year-old Ciara Summers -- with legs so long they seem to start at her neck; Chelsea Mourning, a mega-pretty red-headed hottie recently voted "Best Brothel Butt of The Year"; Harmony Gabriel, a 20 year-old all-natural girl-next-door heartthrob who dazzles men simultaneously with her down-to-earth personality, and her flawlessly perfect body; Exciting new teenaged porn actress Katie Michaels (starring in X-flicks put out by Hustler, New Sensations and Kick Ass Pictures); the super-exotic Jenai Simone -- guess her beautiful heritage and you get an oral sex discount; Chloe Daniels, one of the Love Ranch's most popular "dates," famous for her exquisite GFE ("Girl Friend Experience") parties; Asian-sensation Jenny Morena, who will save men who love exotic women a trip to the Orient; Voluptuous vixxen Eva Voxx sporting a body so awesome that most customers can't even comprehend what they are seeing; Adult actress Kandi Hart, who has been starring in "barely legal" X-vids for years -- now customers can play out those "schoolgirl" fantasies with themselves in the "starring role."; Highly popular Josie Viper, so beautiful and friendly, she turns down at least one marriage proposal a week; Bodacious busty sex bomb Vanilla Frost, a former Bunny Ranch babe, now a Love Ranch top star; Tall, statuesque beauty Scarlett Angel, known as the girl with a figure to die for, and a personality that will melt your heart; Alex Hayes, with looks, intelligence, wit and humor, she "has it all," and knows how to use it; And finally the new-girl-on-the-block, taking a semester off from college to learn the-tricks-of-the-trade Marceline DeLocke is as pretty as she is charming as she is innocent -- but not for long. But even they are just the tip of the Love Ranch iceberg, with a couple of dozen more girls always having their time otherwise "occupied," at any given moment.
With 2010 already being the year that the notoriety and popularity of the Love Ranch is going through the roof, it would seem that the brothel could afford to sit back for a bit and enjoy the fruits of their X-rated labors. But already there have been media reports that owner Dennis Hof is eyeing the purchase of several new brothels in the area, including two near Las Vegas, and a major expansion of the Love Ranch is already being planned.
"There are a number of new projects in the works, so fans of the Love Ranch should just keep checking our website www.LoveRanchTheBrothel.com daily to see what we and our Love Ranch Lovers are up to," says Medoff, "But right now? We are waiting to hear back from Joe Pesci and Helen Mirren as to when they can come up to visit us. Couples are welcome at the Love Ranch too you know -- especially them!"

Recently high-profile performer Priya Rai will be on Playboy Radio tonight, which gives you just enough time to go out and buy a satellite radio and subscribe. Or, if that's too much trouble, go to Sirius.com and sign up for a free three-day subscription.
Here's the detail:
Priya Rai on Playboy Radio's "Nightcalls" Tonight
(Los Angeles) The stunning and critically acclaimed Adult Film Star and Model Priya Anjali Rai will be the special guest on Playboy Radio's "Nightcalls" Friday, June 25th at 6:00pm PST.
Playboy Radio's "Nightcalls" is hosted by the dynamic duo of Nikki Hunter and Christy Canyon, and can heard on Sirius and XM Radio Channel 99.
"Because of my background and upbringing, it was a bit of a shock that I got into porn, especially since I went all out and went right into hardcore, and not just settling to do softcore first. I'm noticing a growing number of fans from the Indian community in America now. I'm the kind of performer who gives 100% in my performances", said Rai.
Rai's official website priyaanjalirai.com features, weekly updates, exclusive content, and a live web cam show.
Rai can currently be seen costarring in the New Sensations spy spoof "Octopussy3-D A Porn Parody". Rai again delivers a top notch scene as Rogreviews.com states; "a white hot opening scene from a woman I could watch all fucking day".
Rai, who has been very busy filming all this week, will also be taping a new comedy pilot titled "The Goomba Gourmet Show" with Angelina Valentine, Jesse Jordan, and Puma Swede this weekend.
Priya Rai is on the rise, she is gorgeous and classy, and we will see a lot more from her in the years to come", stated Galaxy Publicity owner James Bartholet.
About Priya Rai Originally from New Dehli India, Priya Rai was a mainstream model and dancer who crossed over into the adult industry in 2007. Since then, Rai has enjoyed a very successful career, appearing in over 75 projects including a AVN win for "Best All Girl Sex Scene" for Digital Playground's "Cheerleaders". Some of Rai other releases include; "Octopussy 3-D" for New Sensations, "Department S" for Bluebird, "Pornstars Like It Big Vol. 8" for Brazzers, "MIF Lessons Vol. 24" for Bang Bros., "Playgirl's Hottest Interracial" for Playgirl, "Big Breast Nurses 2" for Mile High Extreme, "Entourage: A XXX Parody" for New Sensations, "Fishnets 10" for Zero Tolerance, "Hot Chicks Perfect Tits 3" for Sudden Impact, and "Bossy MILFS 3" for Hustler.
Cadillac crest. Est. 2000
A practical application of stuff I learned in mainstream
The head writer on the quiz show I worked on had an aphorism he repeated so much that I started referring to it as "Jules' Axiom." It described the folly of too much erudition in four words: "Too smart is dumb."
At the weekly Trivia competition at Sardo's Grill and Lounge Wednesday night (yes, the place actually exists on nights besides Tuesdays) the question came up: "What is the animal on the Cadillac shield?"
OK, there is a problem here because the Cadillac crest hasn't had any animals on it for years (see picture, right).
Old Cadillac crest, with, uh, ducks
But before that, it did have animals on it, six little birds that sit quietly facing to the left on the yellow bands. The birds are popularly thought of as ducks, and when Cadillac had a small sporty model called the Catera a few years ago, the ads featured a little duck mascot.
They aren't ducks, though.
They are little heraldic birds called "merlettes." They have no legs and no beaks and they can only be found in their natural habitat, shields and coats of arms. Just like their mythological buddies dragons and griffins.
So the question is flawed, because the Cadillac shield has been critter-free for almost a decade, and even though I know that the birds are really mythical creatures, I also know that I am probably the only person in a several-mile radius who knows this, including the host who will determine whether my response is correct.
Too smart is dumb.
I wrote down "Ducks."
We got it right.
Coming soon to I-15
New Hustler Club set for Las Vegas
The Hustler empire is going to get a lot bigger with the completion of a new Hustler Club in Las Vegas, co-owned by Hustler and Deja Vu. According to the Las Vegas Weekly, the club will have four stories, 70,000 square feet and accoutrements including a giant Hustler Hollywood store and a roof patio with cabanas and a wedding chapel (!)
The location is particularly interesting. The new Hustler Club is located at 5969 Dean Martin Drive, on the west side of I-15 in the industrial area south of the Strip, across from McCarran Airport and just north of Silverton Casino. This will make it one of the first things people arriving on I-15 will be seeing on their way into Las Vegas, and one of the last things they will see as they leave.
That location will serve them well.
Speaking of Hustler
The flagship Hustler Hollywood store in West Hollywood (which is already built) will be the location for a safe-sex fair tomorrow afternoon and evening. If you're in the neighborhood drop by, they're giving away free goodies.

Mainstream moving in on adult?
According to Dateline Hollywood's Nikki Finke, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was considering moving the Oscar awards ceremony (you know, the mainstream equivalent of the AVN awards) to January. Finke attributes this to an attempt to undercut the Golden Globes, the SAG awards and the BAFTA awards, but another conflict is with the AVN awards, scheduled for January 8, 2011. The January 8 date for the AVN awards was formally announced June 4, and the dates for the 2011 Adult Expo were on display at the Adult Expo last January.
There are some people who cross the line between mainstream and adult, and this would have presented a serious conflict for them. Fortunately, Oscar blinked, and the Academy Awards will be held February 27.
Sun Devil, Lisa Ann (L-R)
Lisa Ann ignoring Arizona boycott
This makes sense. If part of your stock in trade is imitating Sarah Palin, you sure as hell won't avoid Arizona.
She'll be featuring in Phoenix and Tempe, and Tempe is the home of Arizona State (which has my favorite college mascot, the Sun Devil) so she should get a good reception there.
LISA ANN TURNING UP THE HEAT IN ARIZONA With 3 F.A.M.E. Nominations in Hand, She's Eager to Light Up Christie's
VENICE, CA -- With the insane summer heat beating down in the Valley of the Sun, many guys retreat to gentlemen's clubs to find some cool air and fine adult fare. But they should be warned that this weekend Lisa Ann will be featuring at the Phoenix and Tempe locations of Christie's Cabaret and it's going to be hot!
Speaking of hot, Lisa -- who was named XFANZ MILF of the Year earlier this month -- received three nominations for the Fans of Adult Media & Entertainment Awards (F.A.M.E.), which will be held at the eXXXotica show in July at the LA Convention Center. She is up for Favorite Female Starlet, Favorite Oral Starlet and Hottest Body.
"Usually the business slows for the summer, but this is proving to be an exception," she said. "Shows like the XBIZ Summer Forum and eXXXotica are well-spaced and help keep the momentum going between shoots and feature gigs. This may be my best summer ever!"
She'll take that momentum to Arizona this weekend, splitting shows between Phoenix and Tempe, performing Thursday through Saturday. Her schedule is as follows:
Christie's Cabaret Tempe is located at 1675 W Baseline Rd, Tempe, AZ. The phone number is 480.456.1015. Christie's Cabaret Phoenix is located at 44 N 32nd St, Phoenix, AZ. The phone number is 602.275.3095. For more information visit christiescabaret.com. To vote in the F.A.M.E. Awards go to thefameawards.com.
Speaking of mascots, the Venus Show in Berlin has announced that performer Angie Katze will be the face of the 2010 show, appearing in ads and posters to represent the show for promotional purposes. The Venus show -- referred to throughout the adult world as "the Berlin Show" -- will take place October 21-24.
Angie Katze to Represent 14.VENUS It-Girl will be the New Face of VENUS 2010
Berlin -- Adult entertainment and lifestyle show VENUS proudly presents the new face for this year's mega event: Coburg jet set girl "Angie Katze", who will represent this year's trade show.

June 22, 2010 8:30 pm PDT New contract performer for Digital Playground
A couple of hours after Wicked Pictures announced a new contract performer, Digital Playground follows suit with their own announcement of a new contract performer. The announcement seems to have been hurried, as the use of an apostrophe in "Hooter's" implies some haste.
But this does augur well, as two major production companies have made a commitment to the future.
DIGITAL PLAYGROUND SIGNS SULTRY, LATINA HOTTIE, SELENA ROSE
Her girl-next-door charm and vibrant enthusiasm promises to delight fans around the globe
VAN NUYS, Calif. -- Digital Playground, the award-winning studio and leading provider of world-class content to the adult genre, is pleased to announce it has signed an exclusive deal with Selena Rose, making her the newest and youngest addition to the studio's elite roster of world-renowned talent.
Selena Rose aspires to be the biggest adult star of the century. The sultry, Cuban beauty shot her first film just days after signing with Digital Playground. Selena says "I'm a very playful, outgoing girl who happens to loves sex. Being a Digital Playground girl is an honor because I know I will get great exposure doing what I love!"
Selena was working as a Hooter's girl, when an agent friend encouraged her to get into the adult industry. She is very excited breaking into the business with Digital Playground "I am so thrilled to be featured along with the other gorgeous Contract Stars." said the 19-year old Leo. "Digital Playground is known for having the best movies with the most beautiful women. I'm anxious to dive in and become the best at what I do."
She enjoys everything about her new career. "I love putting on a show for my viewers, especially when it involves gorgeous guys with great abs. I have this fantasy where I get to have sex on a beautiful island with Scott Nails and Manuel Ferrara. Well now, that might be a reality soon." she says with a devilish smile.
"Digital Playground has always maintained the highest quality above and beyond, with everything from our novelties, movies, and especially our girls." says Samantha Lewis, Digital Playground CEO. "Selena Rose is a perfect fit for Digital Playground with her flawless beauty and innocent smile that seems to captivate everyone she meets. Selena is not just another pretty face, she is a star in the making."
Joone, Digital Playground Founder and award-winning director comments "Selena's smoldering good looks and evocative personality made her an obvious choice to round out Digital Playground's stunning repertoire of women."
"She's a natural talent and the camera just loves her from every angle." remarks Digital Playground Director, Robby D. "Her exotic allure is sure to appeal to fans everywhere."
Lupe Fuentes, Wicked Girl
June 21, 2010 5:30 pm PDT
Lupe Fuentes inks exclu four-pic pact with Wicked
I love writing Varietese, nobody does it any more, even at Variety. Fuentes, who recently won the Miss Xbiz Summer 2010 crown, will make her next four pictures for the Canoga Park prodco. Here's the press release:
Lupe Fuentes: Wicked Girl
LOS ANGELES, CA - Wicked Pictures, the 2010 XBIZ People's Choice for Porn Studio Of The Year, is pleased to announce that exotic Latin beauty Lupe Fuentes is joining the ranks of the company's award-winning Wicked Girls. In an exclusive arrangement with Wicked, the sensual adult performer and mainstream crossover personality will be starring in four movies over the next twelve months.
All of four feet nine inches tall and weighing just 79 svelte pounds, this charismatic stunner brings a mainstream resume to the table that suggests she'll feel right at home with her Wicked sisters. Born in Cali, Colombia and raised in Madrid, Spain by her Colombian mother and Spanish father, Lupe has been a staple of the European press for several years. As a successful model, she has graced the pages of FHM Spain, Primera Linea (in which she had multiple covers), and Siete, where she beat out Carmen Electra and Pamela Anderson in a "Top 20 Celebrity Hot Stars" feature.
Since becoming established as Spain's top adult actress, Lupe is now making the United States her home base. But while the continents may have changed, she's enjoying the same degree of mainstream crossover success she achieved in Europe. She's appeared on Howard Stern, and is currently the Model Of The Month for RapIndustry.Com, the premiere source for all things Hip Hop. She also pens an exclusive column for Complex.Com, owned and operated by clothing and media mogul Mark Ecko.
In the adult realm, Lupe is currently both Miss XFANZ Summer 2010 and the winner of their 2010 Latina Star of the Year award. Her gorgeous physique can be seen this month on the covers of Playtime and Extreme magazines, and fans of her witty and effervescent personality can look forward to her much-anticipate return to Howard Stern this coming Thursday, June 24th. Their provocative conversation is certain to cover Lupe's deal with Wicked, the successful launch of ILoveLupe.Com, and her upcoming Wicked signing party this Saturday, June 26th at Playhouse in Hollywood.
With an exciting Wicked promotional tour that will take her from Los Angeles to New York and back again in just a few short days, Lupe's thoughts on joining the company's elite cadre of contract talent should come as no surprise. "Becoming a Wicked Pictures contract star is like a dream come true for me. Wicked has such beautiful and talented girls, and I am honored to be mentioned alongside Stormy, Jessica, Kaylani, Kirsten and Alektra. I love Wicked's movies so much because they are sexy and often look like big mainstream releases. I did some mainstream acting in Spain, and besides shooting for my website ILoveLupe.Com, I have only made two movies, so I look forward to fulfilling my dream as a pornstar with the top studio in the business.
On signing her contract with Wicked Pictures President and Owner Steve Orenstein, Lupe enthuses "Steve is the nicest guy I have met in this industry and he runs his company with a real family vibe. Unlike most of the companies I have met with, Steve and Wicked really care about the girls. For me the relationship was the most important thing. I look forward to performing in Wicked's big movies, and bringing my own brand of sexuality to the picture. I will also be directing and producing movies under my own studio Lupe Fuentes Productions, which will be distributed exclusively by Wicked Pictures. In a time when many studios seem to have revolving doors and are even losing their brand's identities, I am proud to say I am a Wicked Girl!"
Steve Orenstein is just as proud to welcome the dynamic Ms. Fuentes to the company. "We're very excited to be signing Lupe as our newest contract star. She is already incredibly popular with only a couple of movies on the market and we feel working together her popularity will only continue to rise. She is a great addition to what we feel is the strongest Wicked Girl line up ever, and anticipate great things from her as well as all of our girls going forward."
Possessing a perfect balance of beauty, wit, and smoldering Latin sensuality, the only thing more exciting than where Lupe Fuentes has been is where she's going.
Social media guru Kelly Shibari
June 21, 2010
Naughty PR launches
Performer/social media guru Kelly Shibari has merged her Hourglass 8 Media with Naughty Tweet Network, the home of Pornstar Tweet, PornExec Tweet and several other adult-interest sites.
This looks like an interesting addition to the adult-PR spectrum, adding a social-media aspect to the more-traditional PR services currently available.
NaughtyPR: Hourglass8 Media, NaughtyTweetNetwork In Bed Together
LOS ANGELES, CA -- Adult industry social network NaughtyTweetNetwork has merged with social media consulting firm Hourglass8 Media to form NaughtyPR. The merger makes available a comprehensive public relations and social media marketing firm for all aspects of the adult entertainment industry not limited to companies but to individual talent as well.
"We wanted to take our strengths and make something that was available to anyone in the industry, not just the studios," says Hourglass8 Media president Kelly Shibari. "The NaughtyTweetNetwork has a well-established place in social media for talent whereas Hourglass8's strength has been primarily in the B2B market. With so much business being done online between companies, talent and fans, it only made sense to collaborate and offer something truly comprehensive."
The NaughtyTweetNetwork's family of sites include the immensely popular PornStarTweet as well as its satellite sites AltGirlTweet, WebGirlTweet and PornExecTweet, amongst others. Hourglass8 Media specializes in social media marketing consults for the adult industry; Shibari has spoken at numerous adult and mainstream conferences on the power of social media for marketing purposes.
"Social Media is serious, sophisticated business now", cites Alyss Heart of the NaughtyTweetNetwork, "gone are the days of having some intern build a page and hope traffic rolls in -- if your business isn't investing in Social Media and related tools you will be left in the dust. Kelly has a unique perspective on the business that will prove amazing to our clients. We're building a company that can help companies, studios, brands, established stars and would-be's regardless of budget -- more importantly we've got the tools, knowledge as well as consumer and industry attention to kick-start any campaign like no other company."
The combined companies have already completed and will be launching a series of new sites in the NaughtyTweetNetwork in the near future to further enable their ability to penetrate market segments.
"For some time we have been looking for ways to extend our business, the overall impact of the NaughtyTweetNetwork, while maintaining our high level of excitement for Social Media. At the recent XBiz Summer Forum 2010 it became clear that Kelly Shibari would be the perfect addition to our team. She is the first addition; Kelly will join us in discussions with other leaders in the Adult Entertainment Social Media field as we continue to expand and offer more services in this continually challenging environment", said Pete Housley of the NaughtyTweetNetwork. "It's time to break old stereotypes and molds -- to re-invent the Adult Entertainment business. We're assembling the team to make that a reality for companies and individual stars alike to grow their brands and increase revenues."
NaughtyPR has programs available for both corporate as well as individual clients and will incorporate facets previously offered by both companies in the past, as well as new marketing vehicles that utilize real-time interactions between consumers and the industry.

Brittany Andrews
Brittany's back and New Sensations has got her
Brittany Andrews will be shooting a new movie, for New Sensations, a parody of the HBO staple "Sex and the City," which ran successfully for six seasons and spawned one successful movie (out of two). Lee Roy Meyers directs from his own script (co-written by Bensen Hurst) and the cast also includes Kayla Paige, Zoe Voss and Bobbi Starr. Plus some guys, I'll bet. Call it a hunch.
NEW SENSATIONS BEGINS PRODUCTION ON "SEX AND THE CITY: A XXX PARODY"
Brittany Andrews Makes Heralded Return to Porn & Shoots First Anal in "Sex and the City: A XXX Parody"
CHATSWORTH, Calif. -- New Sensations commences production on "Sex and the City: A XXX Parody" today. With the script written and the movie cast, New Sensations, the leading producer of adult parodies, is ready to roll camera. The Lee Roy Myers directed vehicle stars Kayla Paige as Carrie, Bobbi Starr as Charlotte, Zoe Voss as Miranda, and AVN Hall of Fame performer Brittany Andrews as Samantha. "Sex and the City: A XXX Parody" marks Brittany Andrews' return to adult entertainment and her first on-camera anal scene. Lee Roy Myers says, "'Sex and the City' is the perfect show and movie to parody. The formula consisting of hot women and non-stop sex is already there, so all we have to do is raise the ante on the action. In addition, we spent a lot of time to cast the four popular female characters. Brittany Andrews was our choice to play sex crazed Samantha from the start. She is a legend in the industry, and it's an honor to have 'Sex and the City: A XXX Parody' known as her comeback film. Her hardcore anal scene is going to be a lot of fun to watch."
Over the next two weeks, "Sex and the City: A XXX Parody" will be filmed at locations around Los Angeles County. The hysterical script from Lee Roy Myers and Bensen Herst combines attributes from both the original series and the hit 2008 movie, as four New York City women's search for love usually results in dirty, kinky sex ... the best kind.
Brittany Andrews exclaims, "I am very excited to be a part of this film. Playing Samantha is a dream role, as I've always felt a connection with the character. I'm also looking forward to working with Lee Roy Myers and New Sensations after three years of retirement from the adult industry. I couldn't have found a better movie to make a comeback to the industry with, as we all love 'Sex and the City'. I want to make sure I return with a bang, which is why I chose to do my first anal scene and give my fans something new."
"I couldn't stop laughing when I read the script," states Bobbi Starr. "It does a great job of poking fun at the original show, while still embodying the central theme -- female unity though an open discourse in sex and relationships. I'm definitely looking forward to playing wholesome Charlotte, who will reveal her extremely naughty side in the bedroom."
Belle Casten, New Sensations' Vice President of Global Sales says, "With equal parts comedy and wild porn, 'Sex and the City: A XXX Parody' is a movie designed to appeal to and satisfy the desires of several key demographics. The recent theatrical release of 'Sex and the City 2' will help position our parody in the mainstream spotlight, thus creating a strong crossover appeal and catapulting sales."

'Middle Men' movie trailer released
"Middle Men," the film based on the establishment of the adult Internet through the development of software that would accept credit card information securely online, has released a trailer, which can be accessed here.
I've been following this movie for a while. It was financed by one of the guys who was involved in that adult Internet business, who took his money and started producing movies. It was directed and co-written by George Gallo, who wrote "Midnight Run," and has an impressive cast including James Caan, Luke Wilson and Giovanni Ribisi. It was shown at Cannes in 2009, not in the Festival proper but as part of the screenings and promotion that accompany the Festival. "Middle Men" was picked up by Paramount Vantage, the specialty-film division of Paramount Pictures, and has been set for an August 8 release.
As usual, he presents his points intelligently and cogently, and as usual I hope he's wrong.
Over the years, I have made adjustments in my thinking and my statements about the adult industry. I used to draw myself up on my high horse and say "These girls are not whores, they're performers who have sex on camera." Over the years, it got to the point that enough performers were doing private meetings with fans and escorting that I stopped saying that because I didn't feel right about it any more. The is-you-is-or-is-you-ain't lines began to blur and I couldn't stand behind the flat "No" like I used to.
I remember ripping Stacy Valentine a new asshole in 1998 or 1999 after I saw that "The Girl Next Door" documentary about her and there was a scene where she went off with a fan and she came back with a sheaf of $100 bills that she threw in the air and danced around in. I thought that looked bad and reflected badly on her and the industry, and -- as a professional colleague -- I told her that. I think prostitution is a victimless crime, but it is against the law and I thought copping to it on camera was a bad idea.
The OSHA stakeholders meeting is in a week. I plan to be there. I have invested too much time and energy in this industry to miss the next chapter.

This is the kind of thing that only happens in Los Angeles.
I was walking past the corner of Hollywood and Highland and who do I see but Charlie Laine, wearing a bikini top and cutoff shorts, with a small camera crew, interviewing people.
She smiled, I smiled, I didn't really want to interrupt her interview with two goggling tourist guys (or out her as a porn performer) so I kept moving. I wonder if the two guys she was interviewing knew what else she has done in front of the camera.
Brief encounter of the porn-star kind.
While I'm thinking of it, here's another only-in-L.A. thing.
A restaurant in Burbank moved and put this sign up on its old building:
Our new location is across from NBC. You don't know
where NBC is? Too bad, it's been there since 1952, you're on your own.
Tough love, Burbank style.
Tanya Tate
Tanya Tate wants your F.A.M.E. vote
Performer Tanya Tate has set up a website to promote her candidacy for the F.A.M.E. awards, to be given out next month at the first Exxxotica convention in Los Angeles. Here's the detail:
"Sex Tour of Ireland" Star TANYA TATE Launches VoteTanya.com to Support Her F.A.M.E. Award Nomination!
The U.K. XXX Glam babe's newest site, www.VoteTanya.com rallies fans for F.A.M.E.
(Hollywood, CA) For international sex star Tanya Tate the last few weeks have been a whirlwind. The story broke that pro-athlete Greg Jacobs had performed in an X-rated scene with the stunning blonde bombshell in her recent smash hit "Tanya Tate's Sex Tour of Ireland" series for Television X. The "scandal" landed Tanya on the front page of several news sites, blogs and on the front page of newspapers like The Irish Sun and Sunday World. As the controversy continues to unfold and raise the profile of Tate in the press, it was just announced in America that Tanya has been nominated in The F.A.M.E. Awards.
The F.A.M.E. (Fans of Adult Media & Entertainment) Awards are voted on by the fans. Many of adult entertainment's top stars have been recognized as winners in the previous years. Tanya is known for being a busty beauty and only natural that she be nominated for Favorite Breasts.
"I am very thrilled about the nomination," said Tanya. "Hopefully my established fans and the new ones that I have made over the last few weeks will show their support for my breasts and vote Tanya. The guys I worked with on 'Tanya Tate's Sex Tour of Ireland' loved them, I'm sure I'll get their vote."
The F.A.M.E. Awards is set to take place during the Exxxotica L.A. event on July 10th at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Tanya is encouraging all her fans, and pro-athletes, to vote for her by visiting her newly launched site VoteTanya.com. Found on VoteTanya.com are directions on how to vote as well as an exclusive video clip Tanya filmed to promote her nomination while on the set of her latest XXX film.
The first round of F.A.M.E. Award voting ends on June 25th. Should Tanya make it to the final round, voting for the busty blonde will continue until July 9th.

The classics never get old. Just forgotten.
My regular watch is in the shop so I dipped into the collection and pulled out the Disneyland 40th anniversary Cast Member watch (I didn't always work in porn) so I would know what time it was at Trivia at Sardo's Wednesday night.
One of my teammates looked at it and asked "Why is the 'D' backwards?" thinking that the shape of the watch was a D for Disneyland.
It's actually a homage/ripoff of the late '50s classic Hamilton Ventura, the first electronic watch, which also had an asymmetrical case and a zigzag line down the middle like an oscilloscope.
The first Ventura came out in 1957, two years after Disneyland opened.
Net Neutrality not dead yet
According to The Wrap, the FCC is getting ready to exert its influence over the Internet. Good. We have seen what a total screw-up we get when we let corporations do their own regulation, and if we can mandate that all websites get equal treatment instead of letting ISPs establish favored websites, good.
OK, we all know that mainstream Hollywood has a bunch of non-creative people in executive positions whose main interest in a project is "Do we own the property already?" This has led to the greenlighting of movie after movie after movie that has limited or non-existent audience appeal.
But this is really overdoing it.
According to Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood site, Sony (the corporate owner of Columbia Pictures) has scheduled a remake of "Straw Dogs" to be released September 16, 2011.
"Straw Dogs" is one of Sam Peckinpah's most disturbing movies, a story of a mathematician (Dustin Hoffman) and his wife (Susan George) living in a small town in England that was left to her by her late father who are attacked by locals and have to fight back. (There's a lot moreto itthan that.) The thing that really disturbed me, personally, about the movie was at the point when somebody attacks Dustin Hoffman and I leaned forward in my seat, fists clenched, and hissed "Ice the motherfucker."
I was shocked at my own reaction to the movie.
The new version has been written and directed by Rod Lurie, whose prior efforts have been less than successful. (The current version was previewed last week, more than a year before the scheduled release, so maybe this one is also, uh, weak.) The one film of Lurie's that I did see, "The Last Castle," was mediocre and ham-handed: for example, to emphasize the second-rate nature of James Gandolfini's military-prison warden, he is seen listening to budget-label recordings of music by Antonio Salieri. Guess who's going to prevail when Gandolfini goes one-on-one with Robert Redford. Take your time.
And oh by the way Lurie changed the main character in his "Straw Dogs" from a theoretical mathematician to a screenwriter (!) and moved the location from rural Cornwall to the deep South. I have no idea where he could have gotten that idea koffkoffCapeFearkoff but you never know, it may work.
I'm thinking could well be like Gus Van Sant's 1998 facsimile of "Psycho" and send people back to the original. I know that after seeing Van Sant's version I got a whole new appreciation of Janet Leigh's acting performance in Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 classic.
Bring me men to match my mountains
Ultra-buxom performer Jada Fire is featured in a new comp release form Lexington Steele's Mercenary Pictures.
Jada Fire Lights Up the Latest Edition of 'Lexington Loves'
CANOGA PARK, Calif. -- Award winning female performer Jada Fire burns the screen in "Lexington Loves Jada Fire," the latest addition to the series from Mercenary Pictures and its owner, Lexington Steele.
In addition to Fire, "Lexington Loves Jada Fire" also stars Steele, a three time AVN Male Performer of the Year and Hall of Famer, as well as fan favorites Marco Banderas, Chris Charming, Frank Gunn and Zenza Raggi. Fire is featured in five anal and two d.p. scenes and the title is available now.
"Jada's built an incredible career on the strength of her scenes and she's amazed fans with her endless energy, enthusiasm and willingness to do whatever it takes to set the scene on fire," Steele said. "She's consistent -- consistently excellent. There is no doubt in my mind that Jada is one of the best performers working in the adult industry today."
Fire is an excellent example of the sexually confident female performers Mercenary Pictures casts in its movies, Steele added.
"The sort of hardcore gonzo Mercenary Pictures produces demands that the performers be of the highest caliber," he added. "Good gonzo movies are a collaborative effort between the shooter and the performers. Jada is a performer we've always counted on to deliver and she always has."
Adam & Eve's 'A-Team' website launches same day as Fox feature
The next best thing to getting the parody out day-and-date with the mainstream film is getting the website up. Good for our friends in North Carolina. And if, as a porn fan, you think the "A" in "A-Team" implies something -- you're right. It's in there.
ADAM & EVE PICTURES LAUNCHES "A-TEAM XXX" WEBSITE SAME DAY AS MAINSTREAM MOVIE RELEASE!

"We are so excited to be able to offer audiences a peek at our triple-X version of the A-Team this week," says Meredith Christopher, executive producer for Adam & Eve Pictures. "This film has been months in the making, and we spared no expense on the special effects and script to keep it true to the original."
Director David Lord agrees. "Adam & Eve really had my back on this movie, and let me do it right. My cast, my crew ... everyone involved gave 110% and it shows in the final product. I am really proud and happy with the way it turned out."
Fun fact: Those eyes are the real killers, not the actors.

The book changed my life. I was in high school when it came out in
paperback, and I devoured it. I greedily read about drifters/murderers Dick Hickock and Perry Smith, the doomed Clutter family, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation detectives assigned to the case, the murders, the arrests, the trial, the incarceration, the executions. It grabbed me from page 1 to the end of the last page.
It also inspired me to be a writer. I loved how Capote could drop you in the middle of the Clutters' comfortable middle-class living room with a few well-chosen words, a trick I have used many times myself.
The movie was shot in a gritty documentary style by Richard Brooks. The masterful black-and-white cinematography by Conrad Hall was printed by Technicolor, resulting in the deepest, richest, darkest images you ever saw. "You never saw blacker blacks on a screen," marveled LACMA film curator Ron Haver the night the movie showed at a Richard Brooks retrospective.
The film was shot in many of the real, original locations, and stars Robert Blake and Scott Glenn as the drifters and John Forsythe as detective Alvin Dewey, who tracked them down. Brooks salted his cast with blacklisted actors like Will Geer and Jeff Corey, and uses Paul Gilbert as a note-taking Capote surrogate.
The 2005 movie "Capote" looks at the writing of "In Cold Blood" from a different point of view, and changes the book from a work of literature to an act of betrayal, with Capote mocking and taking advantage of the people in Kansas -- including Dick and Perry -- to write his book. I don't know if that version is true, and I don't care, but I dislike how it casts a pall over the original work.
If you want to see the original movie, tune in TCM today at 5 PDT and see what the fuss was about in the mid-'60s.

Blurring the line between porn and mainstream
This dropped into the emailbox last night:
This is a new one on me. Over the years I have seen hundreds of similar announcements in the mainstream trade papers The Hollywood Reporter, Variety and Daily Variety. Mainstream studios buy these ads all the time to congratulate the production crew on getting the job done, and as an announcement to the professional community that We Have A Big Movie Coming.
I have never seen this in the adult industry before. Joanna Angel, cover girl
The producer/director/performer/tiny person (no kidding, you could put her in your pocket, she is minuscule) is featured on the cover of tattoo-and-piercing magazine Prick, which is a match made in heaven if you ask me, because she is inked to a fare-the-well and hell, porn stars sell magazines. Even if they're free.
Details follow.

MGM Mirage loses the 'Mirage'
MGM Mirage, the Las Vegas company that was formed when Steve Wynn sold his Mirage Resorts properties to MGM in 2000, and which also bought Mandalay Resorts in 2005, has renamed itself "MGM Resorts International." Punch MGMMirage.com into your browser and watch what happens.
MGM Mirage has been on a selling binge in the last few years, de-acquiring its two Golden Nugget casinos (in Las Vegas and Laughlin) in 2004, then selling the Edgewater and Colorado Belle in Laughlin and all three Primm Valley Resorts at the California-Nevada state line in 2007, and unloading Treasure Island in 2008. They also are probably still on the hook for their half of the $11 billion CityCenter development.
One could infer from the name change what will be the next property on the auction block.
Although they are denying it.
This is an old picture. The sign says "Grill & Lounge" now.

Mainstream follows porn again
Last night, this email dropped into my email box. Jeff Mullen has been known to issue put-on press releases, but they usually surface on April 1.
Follow the Yellow Brick Road; Wizard of Oz XXX on the Way from X-Play
(Hollywood, CA) Dorothy, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion and the Tin Man will soon be skipping down the Yellow Brick Road as X-Play and adult movie director Will Ryder are set to produce Not the Wizard of Oz XXX, a vibrant porn parody of the epic classic movie The Wizard of Oz.
The movie to be shot in 3D might be the most ambitious production in the history of adult cinema and tells the story of Dorothy and her fantastic encounters with the Wicked Witch of the West, the Munchkins and finally the great Oz.
"Everybody loves the 1939 classic movie and parts of it still scare the hell out of me like the Wicked Witch and the flying monkeys so this movie is going to be a significant bench mark in porn history," Will Ryder stated.
"Dorothy embodies everything that is good in the world because she is so beautiful and pure but the production details are immense and I can promise that this movie is going to totally flip you out," Ryder predicted.
The lead role of Dorothy has been cast but will remain a secret as preparations for her original musical numbers have been in the works for months and are now being recorded in a North Hollywood studio.
"I can't believe I'm playing Dorothy in Not the Wizard of Oz XXX," the anonymous lead actress said. "This is going to be the most amazing time of my life."
"She's absolutely perfect for the part and Judy Garland would have been proud of her playing her most famous role because the girl can sing like a bird," stated co-producer Scott David with a wink and a smile. "I hope Liza Minnelli loves this movie when it comes out."
X-Play has been on a roll the past few years with many of the best-selling porn parodies on the market including spoofs of the Brady Bunch, The Cosby Show, Three's Company, Bewitched, Monday Night Football and the classic movie Airplane.
In August a spoof of M*A*S*H will hit stores followed by the September release of the highly anticipated Not Charlie's Angels XXX which is sexy send-up of the 1970s Farrah Fawcett era television detective show and might be the best movie the Hollywood based company has created so far.
"We're having so much fun working here at Hollywood & Vine and are really excited to be able to finally announce Not the Wizard of Oz XXX," Ryder rejoiced.
Not the Wizard of Oz XXX is destined to be an adult cinema classic and will thrill audiences this fall.
Okay, so I look at my morning check of mainstream sources and lookee what's front-and-center on Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood site:

Jimmy Dean and Rowlf
So it looks like Hollywood is following us again.
Jimmy Dean died
Not too many people remember Jimmy Dean as a performer. He was kind of a road-company Johnny Cash, more urban and polished than the hard-drinking hell-raising Cash, but he had a likeability and an easy-going charm that helped build an audience for country music in places where it was unfamiliar.
In the '60s he hosted a variety show that was extremely casual -- like "The Dean Martin Show" but with boots instead of tuxedos -- and it gave exposure to country music stars including Roger Miller, Buck Owens and Charlie Rich, but it also was the first prime time network exposure for Jim Henson's Muppets. The show featured as a regular the character Rowlf, performed by Henson, who traded quips with Dean in conversational bits.
As a longtime fan of the Muppets (I bought my first VCR primarily so I could record "The Muppet Show" and I was fortunate to be in Studio 1 at NBC the night Kermit the Frog hosted "The Tonight Show") I wanted to point out this footnote to Dean's career.
He died of natural causes at his home in Virginia. He was 81.
Well, isn't that special
The sudden and unexpected victory of an unknown and unemployed candidate -- who didn't campaign -- in the South Carolina Democratic Senate primary election has been questioned by many, but the use of electronic voting machines throughout the state makes it a lot more interesting. http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0615/vic-rawl-systemic-failures-south-carolina-voting/
If you thought the victory of Barack Obama in the 2008 election meant that the Republican dirty tricksters would go back to Hell in a puff of sulfur-scented smoke, think again.
Looking at the world through new eyes
The latest word from La Jolla
Dave Cummings reports on his latest adventures, this time reporting on a recent surgery instead of more carnal matters. It's good to know that the traditional inter-service rivalries don't extend into the OR, although if Dave had awakened from surgery to find GO NAVY painted on his chest it may have made an amusing story.
His recollections of his eye surgery are much like mine when I got the lens replaced in one eye a couple of years ago. I don't talk about it much because the idea of eye surgery creeps me out so I don't want to inflict it on other people. Ask me if you're interested.
FROM THE TRENCHES BY: Dave Cummings----Porn Star/Producer/Director
June, 2010
Sometimes, I'm hard pressed for things to write about. The piracy of the past few years slowed filming considerably, resulting in fewer opportunities and matters to include in my monthly column.
Lately, however, I've been thankfully noticing more and more courts coming down hard on copyright infringement. I wouldn't want to be an up-loader or a downloader in today's law enforcement environment and/or civil court lawsuits; getting caught could be costly, both financially and in jail time! The courts are not just those in the United States, but globally, too.
On a personal note, my military dermatologist referred me to ophthalmology because she noticed that the top portion of my pupils were somewhat blocked by my overhanging 70-year old eyelids. Long story short, I was offered eyelid surgery to remedy things. So, six weeks ago, I checked into the Navy's Medical Center for the procedure on both eyes. Being a retired ARMY officer in a NAVY facility didn't matter, as I was treated respectfully throughout the entire 24-hour period of my stay, as was everyone there.
After the check-in paperwork, which went quickly since two weeks earlier I had completed the pre-op detailed exam and eye measurements with my surgeons, an EKG, blood work-up, x-rays, and a consultation with anesthesiology. I got into one of those "yukky" hospital gowns and slippers, had vitals taken, and was interviewed repeatedly to insure that I was the right person getting the right surgery; another patient and I were then walked down the to the "prep" suites -- during the walk, I found out that he was an active duty Army Senior NCO casualty from an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) that targeted him in Iraq; he was having surgery to correct damages to his stomach.
At this stage, a bunch of nurses and technicians went to work inserting an IV, attaching heart and lung monitors, and verifying aspects of the surgery. My actual surgeon and her primary assistant then drew lines on my eyelids where she would be cutting out two inches of excess skin in the shape of a football, and my two anesthesiologists briefed me on what to expect and how they would keep me comfortably in a "twilight" state until close to the end of the surgery when I would have to have my eyes opened for the final adjustments and stitches. This was very thorough, indeed.
I was then wheeled into the OR, and while the anesthesia was starting to take effect I sensed that a lot of monitoring stuff was being attached, and some very bright lights were on. I could hear my surgeon briefing her surgical team on how she planned to proceed. The next thing I recall was my surgeon asking me what my favorite San Diego restaurant was, and asking me to look straight ahead at her nose so she could check alignments. Yes, we were almost done -- what seemed like mere minutes to me actually was approximately an hour. Two final stitches were added just as the painkillers were beginning to wear off, and I was wheeled into my hospital room where I was treated like a royalty.
The rest of the day meant lots of ice packs, phone calls to my daughter and son to let them know where I was (I had not informed them about the routine surgery), constant vitals being taken, "chow", and slow walks around the hospital ward, initially with a female hospital tech holding my arm to make certain the anesthesia was worn off and that I was completely stable); later, I visited the wounded Army NCO and we watched the news on his television and chatted about modern Army life.
That evening, my surgeon came by to check on me. Luckily, she just happened to come in while I was holding the ice pack to my eyes, so I got accolades for being a good patient and following the icing orders. As she was leaving, the Army NCO thoughtfully called from his room to check on me. As my surgeon commented, we were both Army guys in a Naval Medical Center and both had been in active combat (mine was in Vietnam as a Unit Commander in an Infantry Division during the enemy Tet Offensive; the NCO's was during multiple assignments in Irag), and she said she was proud to know us. The next morning, I was allowed to dress and walk to the "Galley" for breakfast, then back to the ward for my discharge medical check-out briefing, a stop-by to wish the Army NCO well, and a final check out by my surgeon. Somehow, I was recognized as "Dave Cummings"; subsequently the word quickly got out among the enlisted ranks, and "Lt Col Cummings" was asked to sign a lot of autographs and pose for a lot of cell phone photos, something I ALWAYS like to do for military folks and other people.
I know this is getting long, and is short on sex-related matters, but let me just mention that on my way to the hospital garage to get my car, I purposely veered off course and visited the Wounded Warrior Detachment. Those injured and recovering folks had such a "can-do" attitude and outlook that I felt honored to hang out with them. They are happily kept busy with physical rehab, college courses, doctor appointments, and life after combat. I left there feeling "lifted", and proud to have had the opportunity to informally meet these All-American heroes.
A week after the surgery, I had my post-op appointment, which went well. My upper field of vision has significantly improved. After the follow-up, I again had the honor of visiting with some other Wounded Warriors; America is in good hands with today's military. The Army NCO/Master Sergeant and I have kept in touch, and he's getting his body and life back together; he's now back to full active duty, training others for combat. God Bless Him, and ALL our Wounded Warriors!
Stay well, use sun block, drive defensively, and be nice to people just for the sake of being a nice person.
When the people at "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" needed some fetish gear for a sketch with Janice Dickinson, they headed off to Sunset Boulevard to Stockroom to load up on leather goodies.
Personally, I'm glad to hear about his because I haven't watched Leno since he went back to 11:35. I just keep turning my TV to TBS at 11:00 and saying "No, not yet."
STOCKROOM, INC. FETISH GEAR TAKES CENTER STAGE ON THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO
LOS ANGELES -- The "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" selected nearly 30 BDSM products from The Stockroom, Inc., the world's source for fetish gear and fashion, to set-dress a skit on Wednesday June 9th starring ex-supermodel and reality TV star Janice Dickinson and comedian Mikey Day.
Besides the custom-made bondage restraint straps that The Stockroom created especially for the show, the skit also featured some of the hand-crafted leather designs the company is famous for, including the Men's Heavy Leather Waist Cincher; the Premium Lockable Ankle Cuffs; and the cute but creepy Bunny Hood -- a full-face black leather hood with stand-up ears; a big red leather bow around its neck; and the face of a toy bunny doll.
In the "Stalker Cam" skit, Dickinson catches Day sneaking into her home. She forces him to play a rigged game of Monopoly; each time he loses, he has to remove an item of clothing. As the scene unfolds, she uses Stockroom fetish products to humiliate Day or force him to submit to her whims. The highlight shows Day spinning on a custom built "breaking wheel," or Catherine wheel -- a Medieval torture device still found in modern-day fetish dungeons -- while Dickinson fires upon him with a heavy-duty water pistol.
Near the end of the skit, Day wakes up next to a sleeping Janice in her bed, where he's tied by the wrist to the bedpost. While he's wondering whether to make a break for it, Dickinson's boyfriend -- a broad-shouldered tattooed tough guy in a wife beater -- saunters in, and Day attempts to apologize and explain. "No, it's cool," the boyfriend announces, "the more the merrier, pretty boy."
"The skit was hilarious, but still totally hot," says Stockroom Production Manager O'Shay Nunn. "Obviously the bondage scenes were presented purely for comedic effect, but it was cool that the fetish aspect was presented as sexy, while still being funny. The show took a lot of care building an elaborate set for the skit, and our gear looked great -- almost as great as Ms. Dickinson!"
Visit www.stockroom.com to see the items featured in the Janice Dickinson and Mikey Day skit, as well as thousands of other selections in the world's finest collection of fetish gear and fashion.
Leelee Sobieski in "Finding Bliss"
June 14, 2010
'Finding Bliss' amid the porn
On Saturday night I joined a troupe of adult performers at Laemmle's Sunset 5 to take a look at the latest mainstream look at the adult industry, "Finding Bliss."
Writer-director Julie Davis takes a nonjudgmental tack, telling the story of Jody Balaban, a promising college graduate filmmaker who comes to L.A. to find that breaking into mainstream is not easy and the only response to her mass-mailed resume-and-award-winning-student-film package comes from adult company Grind Productions, led by brassy blonde Kristen Johnston, to edit their hardcore product.
Jody, of course, blanches, then refuses, then finally comes around. The potential to make her own mainstream film on the premises after hours is a mighty draw, and so is the attractive thirtysomething director she'll be working with to make a hardcore film that will also have mainstream appeal.
A series of fish-out-of-water gags follow, including a table read where Jody gets a quick tutorial on the terms "d.p." and "ATM" (the latter inducing a classic spit take) and an inside-out exchange where mainstream goofball Jamie Kennedy's dimwitted porn stud is counterbalanced by a professional level-headed porn star played by Mr. Marcus.
Jody burns her candle at both ends, editing by day and shooting by night, hallucinating that kohl-eyed contract performer Bliss is actually talking to her from the screen and loosening up enough to enjoy the depraved goings-on on her screen in the privacy of her editing bay.
Jody's mainstream movie gets stopped in mid-production when the mainstream actors find that the studio is also used to shoot porn and quit en masse, but in the classic hey-let's-put-on-a-show-my-dad's-got-a-barn tradition familiar from dozens of M-G-M second features Jody recruits porn actors to fill out her cast, augmented with a mainstream actress (Denise Richards) who likes the script and doesn't care about the studio's daytime function.
After major personal complications with the director and with her own parents, who fly in to surprise Jody at a birthday party at the studio, the porn film gets made and released on the art house circuit and the mainstream film gets finished. Jody is chagrined to find that most of her cast is absent at the invitational screening, due to the AVN awards being held the next night, so Jody gets herself to Vegas and gets into the awards ceremony with the help of Bliss, just in time to stand side-by-side with the director as he wins an award for the film she edited.
Mainstream actress Leelee Sobieski, whose support and enthusiasm (and bankability) got her top billing and an Executive Producer credit, is a revelation: I haven't seen her since Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut" 10 years ago and she has matured into a fine actress. Her expressive eyes telegraph everything her character feels. Director Davis gets the details right, including real AVN award trophies and a silver toggle-heart necklace around the neck of one of the female performers. Wicked Pictures contributed decor elements and Stormy Daniels (after the screening, Davis lamented that the tight shooting schedule prevented her from using Stormy more). Ron Jeremy was a consultant and makes a momentary cameo. Mr. Marcus also contributed to the realism by regaling the mainstream cast with stories about production, and then using a day off from the Washington shoot to work in L.A. "and he made more money in one hour than he did for this whole movie," one of the actresses told the audience.
And just for the record, Jamie Kennedy commits himself to his porn-star role enough to drop trou and get shot from the front.
"Finding Bliss" is playing at Laemmle's Sunset 5, 8000 Sunset Boulevard at Crescent Heights, through Thursday and may be held over after that. The theater manager told me "it's doing quite well this weekend."
Check it out.
The bridge is back!
The Pass Avenue bridge is open to traffic again, meaning that traffic approaching Sardo's Grill and Lounge from the eastbound 134 will no longer be required to take a sightseeing tour of Burbank before getting to Porn Star Karaoke.
The bad news is... hell, there is no bad news. People at Vons told me that their business was down because of the bridge being out, a restaurant at the north end of the shopping center went out of business and from what I gather it hurt everybody in that shopping center so the reopening of the bridge is good news.

Good Vibrations' Fifth Annual Independent Erotic Film Festival Is Back!
IXFF Celebrates Independent Filmmakers with Five Nights of Parties and Programming in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO -- Ever wonder what you might see if people made their own sexy films? Find out for yourself! Good Vibrations, the legendary Bay Area retailer that takes pride in providing accurate information on sexuality and toys for grown-ups, announces its Fifth Annual Independent Erotic Film Festival (IXFF) with five nights of screenings and parties culminating in the premiere of the 2010 international Independent Erotic Film competition at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco. This San Francisco tradition brings together filmmakers from around the world to redefine "sexy" and explore what's hot in seven minutes or less. Arty, edgy, funny, kinky, it's all there!
The short film competition on September 23rd kicks off with a pre-party in the mezzanine at the Castro theatre, where margaritas, mariachis, and hot dancers welcome you to a night of decadence. Then head downstairs to see what's hot as international IXFF finalists compete for the audience choice award and $1,500. The screening will be hosted by Indie film queen and drag celebrity extraordinaire, Peaches Christ, along with Good Vibration's own fabulous Dr. Carol Queen.
This year, the festival features a broad array of erotic flavors from around the world, so whatever your personal preference, don't be surprised if you find a new one. Good Vibrations' Festival Producer Camilla Lombard says "The purpose is to celebrate the spectrum of human sexuality and offer an alternative to mainstream media. While it's socially and artistically meaningful, it's also a helluva lot of fun. Where else can you see a huge range of sexy flicks in a movie theatre? It's very unusual and totally inspiring!"
The festivities kick off on Saturday, September 18th with a party at El Rio and a clip show of films from Good Vibrations' sister company, Good Releasing and its quiver of queer and alternative pornographers. These edgy, alt films and performers were recently honored at the Feminist Porn Awards in Toronto, Canada. Sunday, September 19th features "A Celebration of Sleaze" with a gay porn panel, clip show and live male dance performance at the legendary Nob Hill Theatre; and September 21st we'll see what's hot across the pond with sexy European shorts curated by Feminist Porn award-wining director Jennifer Lyon Bell at the Red Vic Movie House; September 22nd infamous award-winning lesbian pornographers Shar Rednour and Jackie Strano of SIR Productions present "Lesbo Retro: Dyke Porn Through the Ages" at the Women's Building in San Francisco, followed by a reception and Q&A.
The finale of the festival is the short film competition at the Castro. "People who send us films have a chance to really mate their own creative impulses with their erotic fascinations and social messages," says Carol Queen, GV Staff Sexologist. "The results are always interesting and frequently very sexy and moving indeed. These short films represent sexual cinema with the artistry and diversity put back in that so frequently is absent from both porn and mainstream movies."
Sponsors for IXFF include: Sliquid, Lelo, Stockroom, Outlaw Leather, We-Vibe, Kink.com, Alite, Center for Sex and Culture, Carnal Nation, San Francisco Bay Guardian, Red Vic Theatre, Arco del Cabo Tequila, Pancho Villa, Mariachi Tradicion Mexicana, and Kaleidoscope Cabaret.
Roger Ebert, twit
That's his term. Ebert, who has been unable to speak since 2007, has become an enthusiastic user of Twitter, re-tweeting, selectively following articulate users and adding his own comments and links to the general conversation.
Director Stoney Curtis turns his attentions to the BBW genre with a series with a way-clever title. The second volume is out now.
The Ultimate XXX BBW Parody
(Chatsworth, CA) Forget about the Biggest Loser and Roseanne -- the biggest BBW parody is Cash For Chunkers! Lethal Hardcore is streeting the follow-up to their XXX parody based on Obama's program/stimulus package, Cash For Clunkers. In Cash for Chunkers 2, the girls with gigantic, natural tits are back again to drop some pounds with sexercise and get paid! DVD cover girl Samantha 38G gets quite a workout from Christian XXX, Aileen Gettman is a chocolately good sista who came for her stimulus check, but couldn't turn down Talon's cock, Karla Lane and her thick Latin booty got quite the workout from Sledge Hammer, Sapphire lets her trainer Dirty Harry oil her up before her big workout, and Nubian princess Alisha Madison burns extra calories bouncing her tits while she gets pumped by Christian XXX. Streeting today, Monday June 14th, Cash For Chunkers 2 has runtime of three hours and thirty minutes and features six scenes and of chubby babes getting the workout of a lifetime.
"When Stoney said he was doing a BBW movie, I was surprised." says Executive Vice President of Sales, Rob Plarski for Pulse Distribution. "But when the movie sold exceedingly well, I knew Stoney definitely had something. It would only make sense that he would come up with a BBW movie that's a parody -- the guy is a genius and never ceases to amaze me. Cash for Chunkers 2 could quite possibly outsell the first title."
Lethal Hardcore is gonzo as it was meant to be -- hand-crafted and made for perverts by perverts. With over 300 titles, there's something for everyone from BBWs to glory holes to interracial to squirting to MILFs -- the entertainment and orgasms never stop. Lethal Hardcore always has fresh, brand new content in every DVD. There's no disguising a comp for a new release, and no comp in sheep's clothing.
Kagney Linn Karter
Break out the white suit
Mike Quasar is turning his jaundiced eye to a porn parody of the long-running Aaron Spelling show "Fantasy island," which featured debonair Ricardo Montalban as the host who helped guests make their fantasies real. (The less said about the mean-spirited and creepy 1998 revival with Malcolm McDowell as Roarke in a black suit the better.)
This version has Zero Tolerance contract performer Kagney Linn Carter, which means that somebody's fantasy will be fulfilled.
ZERO TOLERANCE AND POPPORN TEAM UP TO MAKE THE OFFICIAL FANTASY ISLAND PARODY
The sizzling porn parody based on the long running show will blow your mind!
Canoga Park, CA -- Zero Tolerance Entertainment and POPPORN are teaming up to make all your fantasies come true with the Official Fantasy Island Parody. The porn parody, loosely based on the long hit primetime soap which catapulted white-suited Ricardo Montalban, who played the island's owner, Mr. Roarke. POPPORN creative team Brian Bangs and Spock BUCKTON have created an original, comedic spoof of the show focusing on Mr. Roarke and Tattoo, as they try to keep Fantasy Island in business during the worldwide economic collapse. Once again, POPPORN and Zero Tolerance director Mike Quasar will be teaming up to shoot and produce the film, and will star Zero Tolerance Contract Star Kagney Linn Karter.
"BUCKTON and I were just small kids when Fantasy Island was in its broadcast prime. We don't recall much of the show except Khan and a small person who sounded like he was speaking Klingon dressed in brilliant, bright white suits," says POPPORN's Brian Bangs. "We have designed a script that is just shy of brilliant (it would have been brilliant if we were allowed to use an actual Gila monster as called for in the script) but shy of brilliant is A-Okay by us."
Mr. Roarke was the quirky and enigmatic overseer of a mysterious island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, where people from all walks of life could come and live out their fantasies, albeit for a price.

One Lamb Chop to go, please
At Porn Star Karaoke this week I had an interesting chat with a friend. She had seen a ventriloquist act at the Magic Castle a couple of weeks ago and was really impressed, not just by the ventriloquist but also by the doll the ventriloquist used in her act.
The friend said to me, "I want a Lamb Chop doll just like that."
Lamb Chop and friend
I had bad news for her.
"That wasn't a Lamb Chop doll," I told her. "That ventriloquist was Shari Lewis's daughter Mallory and that doll is the real Lamb Chop."
No wonder the doll looked so good. Good thing John Hughes is dead already
I never got John Hughes. I was already a grown-up when he started putting out his little movies full of teen angst and to be honest I was not keen to relive high school. I saw Hughes' "National Lampoon's Vacation" and I think I saw "Home Alone" on TV and that's it.
The parody factory over at New Sensations has just cranked out their version of Hughes' 1985 "The Breakfast Club." Personally my favorite teen-angst movie is Lindsay Anderson's 1968 "if...." which involves Malcolm McDowell and automatic weapons, but it'll be interesting to see what Lee Roy Myers does with "Breakfast Club."
"He'll get it up, we'll all get it up, it'll be anarchy!"
"THE BREAKFAST CLUB: A XXX PARODY" COVER ART RELEASED
Samantha Ryan, Faye Reagan & Andy San Dimas Get "Bratty" in the Parody of the Iconic 80s Sensation
CHATSWORTH, Calif. -- New Sensations releases the arousing cover art for "The Breakfast Club: A XXX Parody" today. The Lee Roy Myers directed movie is scheduled to release July 5, but in the meantime, fans are treated to a provocative depiction of the '80s classic movie cover. "The Breakfast Club: A XXX Parody" stars Samantha Ryan, Faye Reagan and Andy San Dimas in a movie about five unlikely students coming together in an afternoon of detention and sex education. Upon viewing the cover for "The Breakfast Club: A XXX Parody", Colin, Director of Studio Relations at etailer AdultDVDEmpire.com exclaims, "It looks like the original version we sell on our mainstream site DVDEmpire.com. That item continues to sell well 25 years after the release. It's a cult classic, so that's a huge potential fan base."
With a skillful script by Lee Roy Myers and TT Frye, teen angst has never been so funny and naughty. "The Breakfast Club: A XXX Parody" gives viewers the hot and bothered romps sorely lacking in the original film. Hormones run rampant in Saturday detention as five very different students toss aside their cliques and their clothes. The sexual adventures include the school's star jock putting the winning moves on the cute but quirky loner, the renegade getting pretty deep in pink when he finally hooks up with the popular girl, and the geek trying to score points by creating a story of his cherry popping. Throw in a perky cheerleader orgy, a beautifully militant dean with an out-of-control libido, and viewers get the horniest day ever spent in a library. "The Breakfast Club: A XXX Parody" stars Samantha Ryan, Faye Reagan, Andy San Dimas, Siren Sexton, Breanne Benson, Brooke Van Bouren, Tessa Taylor, Chad Alba, Sonny Hicks and Levi Cash.
"The accuracy our parodies display extends from the script, to the casting, to the box art," says Belle Casten, New Sensations' Vice President of Global Sales. "Creating a successful adult parody is more than playing off the title. Due to the classic status of the movie, I know Lee Roy paid extra attention to making sure every detail of 'The Breakfast Club: A XXX Parody' was spot on. Our consumers will get to see the steamy scenes they've dreamed of since seeing the original movie twenty-five years ago."
Adult starlet Faye Reagan says, "I got an early preview of the box art -- it was like a time machine into the '80s. Born at the end of the decade, I was too young to enjoy all the fun parts of the '80s, so filming 'The Breakfast Club: A XXX Parody' was finally my chance to embrace the hair, clothes and music."

The hit Fox series "Glee" has gotten the porn-parody treatment and Hustler is turning its hand to viral marketing with a YouTube release of a song from the vid called "Big Tushy Hos."
If they did songs tike that on "Glee" their ratings would go through the roof.
"I'm a loser, bay-bee, so why don'cha kill me?"
Sing Along with the Cast of the This Ain't Glee XXX Parody!!
(Canoga Park, CA) -- Hustler Video is no stranger to innovative content. This is evident as it branches out through interactive movies, 3D films, such as its soon to be released blockbuster, "This Ain't Avatar XXX 3D", and now porn musicals!
This Ain't Glee XXX is Hustler's latest parody, directed by Axel Braun. It's based on the hit Fox show, Glee. While this week happens to mark the season finale of one of the network's most beloved shows, Hustler Video wants to keep the spirit of its soon-to-be-released film alive by inviting you to sing along with your favorite This Ain't Glee XXX parody stars in the original song, Big Tushy Hos. What better way to rev up your libido and warm up your vocal chords than to sing along with Andy San Dimas, Samone Taylor, Scarlett Faye, Tara Lynn Fox, Miko Sinz, Alexa Nicole, McKenzee Miles, and many others as they sing and grind their way though Big Tushy Ho's.
Hustler Video's This Ain't Glee XXX parody will be available July 6th, but until then, hop on over to YouTube and sing along with Big Tushy Ho's!!
Performer Mercedes Ashley has announced the winners of her monthly "Fuck Off" contest, which is actually better than it sounds because it involves a chance to do a scene with her. This is not the first thing I thought of when I heard "Porn Star Fuck Off."
And no, I am not RDOTHUNTER.
Maybe we ought to do this
The American Association for Nude Recreation sent a group of volunteers to gladhand their way around Washington, D.C. The adult industry does its bit in Sacramento but maybe we should start going to Washington to make sure we are heard.
A group of AANR volunteers from across North America headed to Washington, D.C., this week to walk the halls of Congress. What the AANR contingent didn't count on was the blitz of publicity surrounding their trip. The group's intention was to educate lawmakers about issues pertaining to nude recreation, specifically about a "well-intentioned" pending bill that could inadvertently affect nudist websites and businesses.
AANR is in good company: the Center for Responsive Politics notes that "Google, Facebook and Microsoft have all filed lobbying reports during the last year that listed Internet or 'cyber' security as targeted issues."
Articles soon began appearing in The Hill, D.C.'s congressional daily newspaper; USAToday; The Huffington Post; NBC Washington and more.

abbywinters leaving Oz
Australian amateur-girl website/production company abbywinters.com has decided to pull up stakes in Australia and move -- lock, stock, and Chloe B. -- to Amsterdam.
In a forum post, abbywinters honcho Garion Hall attributes the move to legal problems the company has had in Australia in the last year or so. Australia already has weird laws involving porn: possession is legal nationwide but sales are only permitted in some jurisdictions, for example.
Model-turned-recruiter Chloe B. (in the picture) and model-turned-shooter Patience will be among those making the move. The change in locale will add a Continental cast to the abbywinters brand, and it will be interesting to see how the girls-next-door that the company finds in Amsterdam compare to the mostly-Australian talent the company has been featuring over the years.
As the Los Angeles-based adult production industry faces local opposition and possible relocation to a more-amenable location (which I have been predicting for some time, mostly by referring to the area south of Tropicana and Decatur as "Chatsworth East") the lessons of abbywinters may be a portent of things to come here.
In re: Steve Driver
I haven't commented because I haven't had anything to add to the mainstream news coverage. I didn't know the guy, and I didn't have any important or interesting insights or observations.
In the last day or so, I found some commentaries that I thought are worth linking to.
Now-you-see-her-now-you-don't performer Tanya Tate will be ending her UK sojourn in mid-July and will be available for shoots in SoCal until fall. I have deleted the contact information because if you don't know how to contact LA Direct Models and Monstar at the Star Factory you should build a professional relationship with them on your own, like I did.
Hi
Good news I am coming back to LA and will be available for shoots from 12th July. I will be staying in L.A. until end of September.
My publicist Monstar has been working hard to raise the 'Tanya Tate' name. He will continue to work closely with me to promote future work and movies that I will continue to work on. With winning my SHAFTA awards in the UK - Milf Of The Year and Best Sex Scene, I am excited to be coming back to LA.
I am signed to LA Direct Models so feel free to contact my agent direct to book me for shoots, and my publicist: is Monstar from The Star Factory.
Let me & my agent know if you have any bookings that you would like to book me for.
Looking forward to working with you... xxx

They say it's your birthday/It's my birthday too, yeah
Had a great time at Porn Star Karaoke last night in a dual birthday celebration with Magdalene St. Michaels, who belted out two songs, the smoldering Peggy Lee classic "Fever" and the introspective "Que Sera Sera." I did not sing, so everybody dodged a bullet.
Porn Star Karaoke co-founder Konnie sat with Magdalene and me at our table, and through the night we were joined by Powder XXX, Tony Bones, Steve Nelson, Ron Jeremy, Charlotte Kelly, Dane Cross, Scotty Cox, Jim Legman and a host of other well-wishers.
Nicki Hunter kept the festivities rolling all night with her nonstop energy and enthusiasm and I'd like to thank everybody who came by and wished us happy birthday. Particular thanks to Seymour and the crew who make Sardo's Grill and Lounge a fun place to visit.

Miss Laurence is Not Pleased
Saw this on Twitter and I thought I'd share it. Paragraph breaks have been added for easier reading.
Eve, please call or email me so we can discuss this further.
Please read. After my surgery for HPV/Cervical Cancer last year I lost most of my non clitoral sexual sensation due to nerve damage, & now seeking experiential procedures to try and correct the problem.
Companies take no responsibility for the long term outcome of current unregulated content production, meaning unregulated for performer rights... No wonder they make us sign a 15 page model release. I am sorry but I am not going to put myself or my family through another cancer scare.
Companies do not care about what happens to us as long as they can profit from us. Until performers stand together legitimize the illegality taking place in our business nothing is going to get better. Name infringement isn't just happening to me but every performer in the business. They are filled with greed and this is not about money.
I know that they will not like what I say, but I don't care and I am not going anywhere. You have had your time to make money off of me and now it is mine. Enlightenment through positivity my fans stand behind me.
They're gonna live forever
The F.A.M.E. Awards, which used to be part of the Erotica LA show, have taken the demise of Erotica LA in stride and have latched themselves to the new kid in town, Exxxotica, set for July 9-11.
The fan-driven awards will be given out on July 10, the Saturday night of the show. Details follow.
The 2010 F.A.M.E. Awards Are Underway!
Fifth Annual F.A.M.E. Awards Show set for Saturday, July 10th at the LA Convention Center as part of the first-ever EXXXOTICA Los Angeles Expo
(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Mark your calendars for the fifth annual F.A.M.E. (Fans of Adult Media and Entertainment) Awards Show. Adult movie fans can now vote on their favorites at thefameawards.com, and the winners will be announced as part of a star-studded event on July 10, 2010, at the Los Angeles Convention Center as part of the West Coast debut of the EXXXOTICA Expo.
The first round of voting where fans will select the finalists in each category is now open on the F.A.M.E. website. In approximately two weeks, the field will be narrowed down to the finalists in each category and the final round of voting will commence. Well over 100,000 votes were cast for last year's contest, and this year should be no different as this is one of adult's annual events that both the stars and the fans look forward to.
The actual awards ceremony has a new home this year as it will be part of the L.A. debut of the EXXXOTICA Expo, which runs at the Los Angeles Convention Center July 9th through the 11th. EXXXOTICA is an established adult consumer event that has enjoyed five successful years in Miami Beach and also a pair of headline-making shows in the New York/New Jersey Metropolitan area. Fans will get to see the 2010 F.A.M.E. Awards free with their admission to EXXXOTICA on the Expo's main entertainment stage. Hosts for the show will be announced in the coming weeks.
The F.A.M.E. Awards were created in 2006 by Genesis Magazine, Adam & Eve, WantedList.com and AVN.com as a way for fans to honor their favorite adult film stars, directors, movies and companies. It is the first show where the fans take part in the entire process, from choosing the finalists to ultimately selecting the winners in over a dozen categories.

There she goes again
Kimberly Kane is a performer, actress, director, and maybe nuclear physicist in her spare time. She made a major splash in "The Sex Files," channeling the actress who played the mainstream part and winning several awards (AVN, Xbiz, XRCO, and the It's About Time award from the Get Scully and Mulder Horizontal Awready Society) for the performance, which she reprised a couple of weeks ago for the sequel.
Her latest directorial effort will be out later this month through Good Releasing, which is a part of San Francisco based Good Vibrations. Besides Kimberly, it also features Avy Scott, who I have been a fan of ever since she entered the adult video industry and I did a Fresh Off The Bus interview with her.

New Sensations reports 'record orders' for 'Golden Girls' spoof streeting today
You know what this means: after something like 25 years there will finally be a funny episode of "The Golden Girls." Poor Hallmark Channel won't know what hit it.
Here's the detail.
NEW SENSATIONS RECEIVES RECORD ORDERS FOR 'THE GOLDEN GIRLS: A XXX MILF PARODY'
Director Lee Roy Myers Dedicates the Parody to the Memory of Rue McClanahan
CHATSWORTH, Calif. --- The day before the June 8 release of "The Golden Girls: A XXX MILF Parody", the New Sensations sales department was frantically fielding a record number of orders. The hot, MILF filled movie is the parody everyone wants to see. "The Golden Girls: A XXX MILF Parody" stars Julia Ann as Rose, Diamond Foxx as Blanche, Raylene as Dorothy, and Rachel Love as Sofia. However, the massive success of the movie is bittersweet to the cast, crew and producers in light of the recent passing of Rue McClanahan, who played Blanche in the original series. "I would like to dedicate 'The Golden Girls: A XXX MILF Parody' to the memory of Rue McClanahan, the sexually enlightened Southern belle we all enjoyed watching for years," says director Lee Roy Myers. "Rue's work as Blanche opened people's minds to the idea women can still be alluring and sexy well past the age society tells them to stop. Without Rue, I don't think any of us would've even seen the possibilities the show had for an adult parody. May she have an eternity of standing ovations."
View the trailer for "The Golden Girls: A XXX MILF Parody" at www.AXXXParody.com.
View the YouTube version of the trailer at youtube.com.
Rue McClanahan passed away June 3 in New York. The Emmy award-winning actress was 76-years-old. Commenting on the show "The Golden Girls" in a 1985 New York Times article, McClanahan stated, "When people mature, they add layers. They don't turn into other creatures. The truth is we all still have our child, our adolescent, and our young woman living in us." In regards to her character Blanche, McClanahan simply says she "is in love with life, and she loves men." The show provided pop culture with one of the first tastes of the phenomenon now known as "MILFs", which "The Golden Girls: A XXX MILF Parody" aims to encapsulate and pay tribute to.
Belle Casten, New Sensations' Vice President of Global Sales says, "I think our unparalleled number of orders is a testament to the original show. It made people reevaluate their perceptions on beauty and age. I know our director Lee Roy Myers set out to make a sexy comedy, but I think along the way, he and all the great performers in the movie realized it was something more. Consumers will discover this too. Beauty is an attitude, and the ladies of 'The Golden Girls: A XXX MILF Parody' are definitely filled with plenty of attitude."
When Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia are put together, the sarcasm and silliness flies. Add in Dorothy's lesbian friend, Jean (Jewels Jade), and the hot, MILF action of "The Golden Girls: A XXX MILF Parody" explodes onto the screen! Jean comes for a visit, but it gets awkward when she reveals that she is in love with Rose. The girls try to show Jean that a studly man almost half their ages can fill a void that another woman just can't reach, and are those voids ever filled! The Golden Girls become The Golden Cougars as they have their way with James Deen, Johnny Castle, Levi Cash and Rocco Reed. Swedish beauty Puma Swede also joins the party as TV's favorite grannies become sex-obsessed nymphos in the parody fans will never want to retire.
"The Golden Girls: A XXX Parody" on-the-set video can be seen at FunnyorDie.com.
"The Golden Girls: A XXX MILF Parody" is available as a two-disc DVD collectors set June 8. The DVD includes behind-the-scenes videos, outtakes, cum shot recap, party version, trailers to hit New Sensations movies, iPod formatting, photo gallery, chapter index and full motion menus. The DVD is presented in 16:9 widescreen format with no regional coding and Dolby Digital sound.
You say "Football," I say "Soccer."
Soccer to me, baby
Performer Tanya Tate has been linked in the Irish tabloids with Gaelic Athletic Association soccer player Greg Jacob, or at least somebody who looks like him. It seems that Jacob (or a near facsimile) was seen in a coming-attractions clip for her pro-am video series, "Tanya Tate's Sex Tour of Ireland."
If you'd like to discuss it with her, she'll be in town for Exxxotica in July. The girl gets around.
TANYA TATE 'SEX SCANDAL' Rocks Ireland News
Not a 'Tiger Woods' tale but enough scandal to get another Pro Athlete in hot water
(Hollywood, CA) Glam XXX model Tanya Tate has been on a meteoric rise of success. Since launching her porn career in 2008, Tate has become one of the the top names in adult entertainment. It was only a couple of months ago did Tanya win two of UK's SHAFTA Awards, one of which was for Best Sex Scene of the year. Tanya's popularity has gone international as the sultry Liverpool born babe is becoming as well known in US as she is in the UK. In part due to her scorching hot performances in her adult entertainment films and part socializing at hip Hollywood parties.
As she has momentum in the UK and US, it was in late 2009 that Tate branched out into Ireland where she filmed her pro/amateur series titled "Tanya Tate's Sex Tour of Ireland." The Sex Tour was filmed in Gallway, Limerick, Cork, Tipperary, Prosperous and Dublin. It gave would-be porn studs (and pro athletes) their chance to see if they have what it takes to step up to the big leagues of pornstardom by shooting a scene with the multi-award winner.
This spring promotional videos of the series begun hitting the Internet, many appeared on social networking sites like Youtube. It was through this promo push did people start to recognize a familiar face to fans of Wexford GAA Hurling star Greg Jacob. Greg took part of Tanya's sex search performing in a very X-rated scene with the stunning starlet.
Irish news papers and websites have been afire with this story, several of the papers making it a front page story this past Sunday when the story broke.
The Daily Mail UK: GAA star in camper van porn scandal: Hurler's guest role in video 'sex tour of Ireland'
The blonde beauty would only say "He definitely has a career as a pornstar when he decides to retire from pro sports."
Tanya Tate's Sex Tour of Ireland is currently being broadcast on Television X or can be viewed on demand at the Television X website, www.televisionx.co.uk.
While Tate does not have any current plans for another Sex Tour of Ireland, she is planning another one. What country and what celebrity she'll have sex with will have to remain to be seen.
Tanya continues the theme in Tanya Tate's Casting Couch. The Casting Couch videos will be exclusive to Tate's website, TanyaTate.com, which launches mid-summer and includes another video romp of Tanya and Greg.
Next for Tanya is her 1st signing appearance in the United States' best adult fan show, Exxxotica Los Angeles. Tate will be signing at the Exxxotica L.A. expo July 9th -11th. There Tanya will be signing autographs and promoting her latest X-rated appearances. More info on the Exxxotica event can be found on ExxxoticaExpo.com

Magdalene St. Michaels, Journalist feted at Porn Star Karaoke this week
It was really nice of Seymour to give me top billing in his press release. As it says, I have been a regular at Porn Star Karaoke since it started in the long-ago days of 2003 with Wankus, Aria and Konnie, and my Tuesday nights have never been the same.
I'm honored to share the spotlight with Magdalene St. Michaels, a performer who has made a big impression in the relatively short time she has been in adult. She is also a friend who remembers when the Beatles broke up. Shared history means a lot.
Here's the press release:
Tod Hunter & Magdalene St. Michaels Birthday Bash at Porn Star Karaoke This Tuesday Night
BURBANK, Calif. - Tod & Magdalene are both celebrating their birthdays this Tuesday night at PSK and want everyone to come on down and party with them.
Tod Hunter has been in the adult industry since 1997. He has been writing about the stars, news events and interviewing the newcomers to give some of them that much needed press exposure. Everyone knows Tod and he is highly respected in the industry.
"The Porn Star Karaoke phenomenon has been a big part of the adult industry and I've been privileged to have a ringside seat for all of it," Tod Hunter said. "Seymour welcomes the industry every week and everybody in the adult industry from the biggest stars and directors to the greenest newbie's - and quite a few mainstream names - have spent a Tuesday night at Sardo's."
Magdalene St. Michaels is also celebrating her webcam debut with MetroBabes.com.
"To be honest, my birthday is closer to last Tuesday, but I was working that day and as it happens, I was still on set at 2:30 am," St. Michaels laughed.
Magdalene St. Michaels has shot close to 100 scenes in her career. She was nominated for MILF/Cougar Performer of the Year at the AVN Adult Movie Awards in 2009 and 2010, and she can be seen in the recently released "Netskirts 1.0" from Girlfriends Films; ''Mother Lovers Society" from Sweetheart Video; and "A Man with a Maid: Tales of Victorian Lust '' from Sweet Sinner Films. She will be handing out copies of "Netskirts 1.0".

Nicky can be heard weeknights co-hosting "Night Calls" with Christy Canyon from 4-7 p.m. PDT on Playboy Radio, channel 99 on Sirius and XM. Nicky was named Female Performer of the Year by the X-Rated Critics Organization in 2006 and is also directing for Meanbitches.com, thevenusgirls.com and DeviantDavid.com

Half-cast
With some parts still available for his "Home Improvement" parody, David Lord has set another casting call for today.
2nd 'HOME IMPROVEMENT' PARODY CASTING CALL ANNOUNCED Primary Roles Still Available
RESEDA, CA -- Director David Lord held an open casting call for his upcoming 'Home Improvement' parody, being shot for Adam & Eve next. According to the acclaimed director the response was impressive.
"We had over 35 performers show up and read for various roles," Lord explains. "It was a great turn out."
Some of the roles were cast but many were still left open. Some talent that wanted to be part of the show were busy working or had other obligations. Due to popular demand, David Lord has decided to hold a second casting call on Monday June 7th in the same place at the same time - 18215 Lassen Street, Northridge, CA from 11 am - 3 pm. All talent are welcome to come and try out.
"I get asked all the time by talent if they can be a part of one of my productions," Lord says. "This is your chance to come and show me what you can do. I am looking forward to seeing it."
Even porn performers have the occasional skeleton in their closets. I was looking at the picture of the day on the Playboy Cyber Club and lookee who I found:
OK, the first Playboy magazine had no date on the cover, so some confusion is inevitable. But it did come out at the end of 1953, which is 57 years ago, give or take. The 50th anniversary being celebrated by Playboy is of the Playboy Clubs, which started on February 29, 1960. There's more detail here. A lot more.
Some guy who used to work there got it right, back in the day.
Naked canaries in the coal mine
Centuries ago, coal miners took canaries with them when they went down in the mines to serve as a warning for dangerous gases. If the canaries stopped singing, the miners knew that there was a build-up of toxic gas and they should get the hell out of there.
The enemies of free expression don't go after big, established, popular targets. They go after small, easily-won battles. Blockading family planning clinics. Picketing convenience stores that sell magazines like Playboy and Hustler. And harassing nudists.
San Onofre State Beach, just off the 5 north of Camp Pendleton, has been used by nude bathers since the 1970s. The beach also was instrumental in a court decision that affirmed a right to nude recreation in California state parks. In the last couple of years, the new director of the California Parks and Recreation Department decided to reverse the live-and-let-live policy that had been in place and started ticketing people on the beach for nudity.
I don't want to make too big a deal of this, or imply that if they're ticketing nudists at San Onofre the next step is an armed raid on Vivid, but it is a bad sign. The Friends of San Onofre Beach have announced a rally this Sunday to support nude use of the beach and if you'd like to support free expression here's your chance.
Gathering in Support of Designated Clothing Optional Areas
When: Sunday, June 13, 2010, 12:00 noon to 1:00 PM
Where: San Onofre State Beach, South end of Trail 6 area.
Why: Show support for NAC and FOSOB petition for designated clothing-optional areas in State Parks.
State Park Rangers and Peace Officer Lifeguards have issued a few citations to innocent victims who were nude on the beach at Trail 6. We recognize that some of those attending this gathering are apprehensive about being nude at Trail 6. However, we strongly encourage all of those who support our efforts to be at the beach on Sunday, whether you will be nude or not.
Naturist Action Committee and Friends of San Onofre Beach are asking you to support their petition to designate clothing-optional areas within the California State Parks.
Title 14 California Code of Regulations section 4322 states:
No person shall appear nude while in any unit except in authorized areas set aside for that purpose by the Department.
The Department of Park and Recreation (DPR) has the legal authority to designate clothing-optional areas within State Parks. There had been a policy in place for over 30 years that effectively managed for nude use in traditionally clothing-optional areas. However, after two years of legal action, the DPR has abrogated that policy and spent thousands of taxpayer dollars in order to avoid the inconvenience of taking any input from the public on the subject.
Ultimately, the decision as to whether people who enjoy skinny-dipping and nude sunbathing at such places as Black's Beach (Torrey Pines) and San Onofre Trail 6 are criminals or law-abiding citizens rests in the hands of DPR Director Ruth Coleman. We intend to break through he deceit and fictional justification presented to Director Coleman by the DPR's law enforcement officials, and make our voices of reason and practicality be heard.
As Americans, we take our freedom seriously. When the government undertakes to curtail our freedom without just cause, it should expect us to stand up and fight for our freedom for as long as it takes for us to win it back. We are here for the long haul. Please continue to support us and please come to the beach on Sunday, June 13th.
New talent Gracie Glam has racked up one of the biggest scores available to talent, the cover of AVN. I was impressed by Gracie Glam when I saw her in Elegant Angel's "Cuties," and good for her.
Gracie Glam Scores a Grand Slam with June AVN Cover
LOS ANGELES -- Adult industry newcomer Gracie Glam lands the cover of AVN's coveted June "Fresh" issue, highlighting new performers, directors and companies to watch that are on the move.
The magazine also marks the 10th anniversary of AVN's tradition of focusing on what's new in its June issues.
Featured in more than 50 titles since her debut to the X-rated video industry, Glam said, "Seeing myself on the cover of AVN with less than a year of doing videos is amazing. I'm very pleased with the work I've been doing and the steady fan base I've been building up. This is a great milestone to hit in the short time I've been in the business."
Glam, a New Starlet nominee at the 2010 XRCO awards, said she's planning to make a bigger push into the industry with her friend, performer Brooke Lee Adams.
"We're looking into doing publicity appearances together and doing tour dates as a duo," she said. "We work great together and there's a lot of chemistry and heat between us -- we do great girl-girl and girl-girl-boy scenes together."
Find Gracie Glam online at Twitter (twitter.com/gracieglam) and MySpace (myspace.com/gracieglam).
AVN is available by subscription, at selected distribution points like studios and talent agencies, and occasionally on newsstands where it sells out quick. Try the newsstand at Ventura and Van Nuys, right near Jim South's office.

More Power!
Director David Lord is holding an open casting call for his new parody of "Home Improvement," the sitcom that ran from 1991 to 1999 on ABC.
If Adam & Eve has a sense of humor, they'll sell the completed video for a low price at their stores to cut Lord out of the profit sharing, much like Disney allegedly did with syndication of "Home Improvement" re-runs after Disney bought ABC in 1996.
Fun fact: Tim Allen's full name is Tim Allen Dick.
DAVID LORD HOLDING 'HOME IMPROVEMENT' PARODY CASTING CALL Acclaimed Director Shooting Adam & Eve Parody Next
RESEDA, CA -- Back in February acclaimed director David Lord announced his intentions to make several parodies for both Adam & Eve and his own company, Rebel Studios. So far he's completed an extraordinary take on 'The A Team' that rivals Stephen J. Cannell's original vision, just in time for summer movie release from 20th Century Fox.
With the final touches being put on the epic '80s parody David Lord is ready to go into production on his next homage, this time to the long running television sitcom "Home Improvement" -- a childhood favorite of the auteur.
"I've always loved the show," explains Lord. "Tim Allen has impeccable comic timing. I've tried to capture the essence of the show and really bring fans the best of what they fell in love with, just like I would want to see."
The script was written by DCypher, who also helped Lord create scripts for the A Team parody and the Tiger Woods parody he did late last year. It features Adam & Eve contract star Alexis Ford as the beloved Tool Helper Girl, a coveted role. The rest of the roles, including Tim, Al, Jill, and wise neighbor Wilson, are waiting to be filled by just the right performers. That's why David Lord has decided to hold an open casting call.
"We had a really nice turnout with the A Team casting and it definitely helped me flesh out the characters," offers Lord. "It's a great way to meet new talent and see performers who I have shot over the years showcase their acting abilities. I remember last time we did this I was shocked that guys who I thought of as gonzo performers came through with genuine acting chops. You just never know."
The open casting call is set for June 3rd at 18215 Lassen Street, Northridge, CA from 11 am - 3 pm.
You may have heard about the disappointing box office of the new "Sex and the City" movie, which has been beaten up by critics and ignored by much of the moviegoing public.
Apparently somebody at Warner Bros. had their misgivings about the movie as well. The poster appeared on the Wall of Death back in March. You may remember the Wall of Death, the poster location at Warner Bros. studios that faces away from traffic (unless you're going to Sardo's) and is usually used for clinkers, losers and low-expectation movies.
The poster was later moved to a high-profile position, but the initial placement for the "Sex and the City" teaser poster was in the no-confidence slot.

Hmmm
A reporter looks at the Kendra Wilkinson sex tape and doesn't like what she sees, but not for the reason(s) you may think.
Madness Pictures has set June 10 for the release of their solo video collection featuring a variety of performers getting up close and personal with themselves, including Camryn Cross, who is pictured to the right. The DVD also showcases a new director, who goes by the name "MO."
Here's the press release:
MO Knows that One is Not the Loneliest Number in Madness Pictures' '12 Nasty Girls Masturbating Vol. 16'
CHATSWORTH, Calif. -- Featuring a cast of women that includes MILFs to teens and Latinas to Asians who all count quality time as alone time, Madness Pictures presents "12 Nasty Girls Masturbating Vol. 16."
"The ladies in '12 Nasty Girls Masturbating Vol. 16' love to love themselves," MO, director of the title, said. "There's variety -- besides Laurie Vargas, Tatiana Kush is also very hairy... down there. Anjanette Astoria is a MILF that redefines the term size queen when she takes on The Great American Challenge and there's Lana Violet who's into using her feet during the scene. There is someone for everyone who loves female masturbation in this movie."
Andre Madness, owner of Madness Pictures, said MO brings enthusiasm as well as technical skill to the scenes he shoots.
"MO loves every woman that's in front of his camera," Madness added. "You can see it in the attention to detail he puts into shooting and his interactions with the girls. He's also a great photographer and you can see he makes the most out of each scene."
Starring Mexican cover girl Laurie Vargas, "12 Nasty Girls Masturbating Vol. 16" also features Anjanette Astoria, Camryn Cross, Lana Violet, Rachel Love, Natasha Nice, Crissy Moon, Chastity Lynn, Kora Peters, Judy Marie, Lisa DeMarco and Tatiana Kush.
The title is scheduled to hit store shelves on June 10.
British performer Tanya Tate, who combines a smoldering mature sexuality with an impenetrable North Country accent (as I have said before, every time I see her we spend a lot of time saying "What?" to each other. She also listens with a North Country accent) is looking for men and women to work with her in a project she's calling "Tanya Tate's Casting Couch."
Tanya is pictured here with the two SHAFTA awards she won a while back when she was stateside. "SHAFTA" is a clever pun that you have to be English -- or a committed film buff -- to get. Or you can click here and be "in the know."
Marie Madison's Maddy G Productions has signed Rachel Lynn Porter (note picture) to an exclusive performing and directing contract. I've always been a sucker for the quiet ones, which I attribute to extensive viewing of Alfred Hitchcock movies in my youth. I hope she looks as good in motion as she does in the still.
Maddy G Productions Announces New Contract Performer/Director
(Erie, PA) Maddy G Productions has taken the leap and signed adult performer Rachel Lynn Porter to an exclusive contract to perform and direct.
If you're unfamiliar with Rachel Lynn Porter, you need to get yourself acquainted. This 21 year old is a smoking hot natural beauty that has a raw and fierce sexuality on screen and is going to be the female performer to watch. Porter began her Adult career working in Maddy G Productions legal department and before she knew it, was appearing on screen -- you just can't keep a hottie like this behind a desk. She made her onscreen debut in Marie Madison's hit adult sitcom, Inside Marie's Play Place. She then went on to appear on the coveted box cover for her second film, Alone at Last.
Porter has filmed several scenes for upcoming films, One Note Affair and All Girls Taste Different 2, along with scenes for Marie Madison's website, mariesplayplace.com. Rachel Lynn Porter will also be co-starring with Marie Madison in the forthcoming micro-fetish film, Just Bubbles, as well as the long-awaited Inside Marie's Play Place 4. Her directorial debut will be this summer.
"The fans absolutely love her and just can't get enough of her," says MILF performer, director and studio maven Marie Madison. "From the time her very first scene appeared on the website, we were flooded with comments, fan mail and requests to see more of her. We've never had a reaction quite like this with any of our new performers. But Rachel has real charisma, the kind you can't teach models. She's also a great actress who can handle anything from playing a character to fucking like a 21-year-old on screen with nothing but pure energy. Plus, she's got a head full of ideas -- she hadn't been working here a month when she started turning in story treatments. At that point, I knew she had to direct for me. We know we made the right decision signing her to an exclusive deal!"
"This is a dream come true for me" says Rachel Lynn Porter. "Marie has given me a place to really explore my sexuality, push some of my own boundaries and I've had the best time doing it. I wasn't sure a career in Adult entertainment was something I wanted. But after working here and being given the kind of freedom to express myself and write some of my own story lines, I know that I really be a part of a creative team of people, specifically this group of amazing people. I just wish I had met Marie when I was 18."
Pro-Am star, director and producer Marie Madison is Maddy G Productions. Not a newcomer to the scene, for more than 10 years Madison has been thrilling men and women the world over with her brand of erotic hardcore that's hard and fetishy, but at the same time, feminine. With over 60 films under her proverbial belt, Madison has brought her catalog and new releases to Pulse Distribution in 2009. Maddy G Productions films have a huge presence on the web, are shot in hi-def and feature exclusive contract performers and of course, Marie Madison. Her official website is MarieMadison.com and MariesPlayPlace.com is where adults go to play, buy DVDs, download VOD, view photos and more.
Maddy G Productions is distributed exclusively through Pulse Distribution. For sales inquiries, contact Hyland Church at Pulse Distribution at hchurch@pulsedistribution.com.

Social networking
Friday evening I was browsing the Twitter feed and I saw that Hugh Hefner was talking about movies.
And I responded with one of my favorite neo-noirs, which I watched the other day on HBO 19 or something and I was pleasantly surprised that it still held up.
And I was totally gobsmacked to get this Twitter reply the next morning:
To me, this is amazing. I have actually gotten a movie recommendation from Hugh Hefner. There's a new title in my Netflix queue. Speaking of Playboy
If you bought your copy of the June issue on the newsstand, you're missing something. Or maybe two things. Click the controls below and see what happens.

The one with the opaque bra went out on newsstands.
There are some Playboy stalwarts who are unhappy when the Playmate of the Year is not on the cover of the June issue. I wonder what they'll say about this.
Kagney Linn Karter
Kagney Linn Karter in new 'Brady' spoof
This reminds me when I worked in record stores. When a band would split from their current label to a new one, (usually Columbia, Clive Davis had a fat checkbook and was not averse to using it) the old label would put out a "Greatest Hits" collection of songs from the old company's vaults.
The contemporary porn version is on display here: Across-the-board Best New Starlet winner Kagney Linn Karter, who recently signed an exclusive contract with Zero Tolerance, has appeared in movies that that haven't been released yet. And when one of those productions is a parody from Jeff Mullen, you get a press release like this:
Kagney Linn Karter Joins Cast of Bradys Meet the Partridge Family
(Hollywood, CA) Kagney Linn Karter teams up with The Brady Bunch in the brand new sex adventure "Not the Bradys XXX: Bradys Meet the Partridge Family" in stores May 25th from X-Play/LFP Video. Classic television... XXX style has never looked better as the 2010 AVN, XBiz and XRCO starlet of the year joins a stellar cast as two classic television shows collide getting the porn parody treatment from director Will Ryder.
Kagney is currently a contract star for Zero Tolerance but X-Play was lucky to get her to star in their movie before she signed her big contract.
"Kagney is unbelievable and I love working with her," stated Ryder, the 2010 AVN, XCritic, XBiz People's Choice and XRCO Director of the Year. "I first got the chance to work with her when she played Kelly Bundy in our two popular spoofs of 'Married with Children' and it's been a pleasure watching her career soar with her beauty, excellent acting skills and sex appeal. I was a bit disappointed when she signed an exclusive contract because that meant we wouldn't be able to work with her in the near future so I was really happy that we included her in this fourth volume of 'Not the Bradys XXX,' which is our best Brady Bunch porn adventure yet," Ryder offered.
In the 4th installment, Marcia becomes obsessed with Keith Partridge but when her grades suffer, Mike & Carol cancel her fan club membership prompting the Partridge Family's record label to get involved creating an even bigger cluster fuck. The record executives quickly 'discover' Greg and try to turn him into 'Johnny Bravo' but the fact he can't sing very well doesn't seem to matter much to them. Through misunderstandings and dirty hi-jinx, all-hell and wild sex breaks loose but when Shirley Partridge mistakenly thinks that Mike & Carol are swingers, the hilarity really hits the fan when the Partridge Family visits the Brady house in this very funny spoof of two 1970s classic TV shows.
Kagney plays the assistant to the wacky record company executive played by James Bartholet as the two become a well-timed comedy act.
"Are you kidding? I love working with Kagney," Bartholet belched. "She's the all-American girl that you have to hide from your neighbors because she's so dirty. Kagney is like a sexy piece of fruit that everybody wants to take a bite out of. She's like a lion that just ate her cubs because she's absolutely gorgeous, totally in control and really has a natural flair for comedy. You should see her in this movie, she's great."
"Not the Bradys XXX: The Bradys Meet the Partridge Family" stars some of the biggest names in modern porn including Kagney Linn Karter, Shawna Lenee & Tanner Mayes, along with Lexi Belle, Alana Evans, Kacey Jordan, Dylan Riley, Lynn LeMay, Mike Horner, Kris Slater, James Deen, Mikey Butders, Scotty Piper, Nick Manning, James Bartholet and Ron Jeremy as Sam the Butcher.
"This is really wholesome porn for the entire family as long as everybody in your family is at least eighteen years of age," Ryder joked.
The entire lineup of Not the Bradys XXX movies won numerous awards including trophies from AVN, NightMoves, XRCO and also the 2010 XBiz Award for Best Parody but many are saying this is the best one yet.
I have been aware of April O'Neil for a while and finally met her at Adultcon a few months ago, where we talked mostly about mainstream movies. I am looking forward to seeing this new vid when it comes out.
Food for thought for food
Political blogger Tina Dupuy looks at the more-obvious results of our consumer society:
Director Jonni Darkko adds a new F-word to the collection with his latest DVD, "F for Francseca." Francesca Le has been a director and producer, but it's her performing that's on display here, in seven scenes running a little over three hours on two discs. This should help you meet your minimum daily requirement for Francesca Le for months.
Jonni Darkko's 'F for Francesca' available now
The mother-load for MILF lovers, "F for Francesca" is a lust letter to one woman whose longevity as porn's reigning big-titted slut supreme is cemented by her refusal to rest on laurels of days gone by. Director Jonni Darkko unleashes every tool in his carnal kit with seven brand new scenes featuring anal, interracial double penetrations and a must-see-to-be-believed 20+ man oral gang-bang bukakke... the kinda stuff that the spoiled sinema starlets won't do... But nothing is too much for our shameless sex-superstar, the one and only Francesca Le.
A four-girl scene with Francesca, Kelly Divine, Phoenix Marie and Jasmine Jolie starts out centered on Francesca, but soon all of the girls are taking toys, spit and tongues in all their holes.
Andy San Dimas and Francesca warm each other up before a dual anal fucking from Sean Michaels and Prince Yashua. Francesca and Mark Wood use Ashli Orion as a dirly little sex slave. At 3 hours 11 minutes, the movie climaxes with a 20+ man bukkake, leaving Francesca with cum streaming down her mascara-lined face. After the scene wrapped, the star told director Darkko that she wished there had been 40 or 50 guys.
F for Francesca is available in stores as a 2-disc DVD set and online. The trailer is available at evilangelvideo.com. If your distributor does not carry Evil Angel, please contact Jessica at 800-442-6435.

Fox Business Channel sets Stagliano appearance
Evil Angel owner John Stagliano has made a taped appearance to be broadcast on Fox Business Channel tonight and through the weekend. Here are the details straight from Evil Angel:
John Stagliano to appear on Stossel
Yesterday, John Stagliano, the owner of Evil Angel, taped a segment on the subject of the first amendment live in New York for John Stossel's show Stossel for FOX Business network. The episode will air for the first time at 8pm on Thursday, May 20.
John Stagliano is currently being prosecuted by the federal government in an obscenity trial for the distribution of 2 porn movies and a 3rd trailer for a porn movie. He was indicted in April 2008 and the trial will begin in Washington DC on July 7, 2010. Stagliano faces up to 32 years in prison and millions in fines. For more information on John Stagliano's trial and several other obscenity cases, go to defendourporn.org.
Also appearing on the show with Stagliano are Judge Andrew Napolitano and Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the author of Infidel. A synopsis of the May 20 episode from the FOX Business site: "Congress shall make no law..." begins the First Amendment. What a concept! Congress should pass NO law. How often do we hear that today? Not often enough. The first amendment goes on to say "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech." What does that mean? That's what our show is about. Does it mean you can burn the American flag? What about films that depict animal cruelty? Or "obscenity"? Stossel talks to a porn producer facing 32 years in prison for producing fetish films like Milk Nymphos. While we in America may take freedom of speech for granted, it's important to remember how unique this freedom is. In other countries, hundreds died in riots after a newspaper published cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed. The Canadian government charged a journalist who published the cartoons with "discrimination." Most recently, Comedy Central censored a South Park episode that featured Mohammed ... while leaving in a scene where Buddha snorts cocaine. A short clip of John Stossel appearing on Fox Business discussing the episode can be watched on the Fox Business website.
John Stossel is the New York Times best-selling author of Give Me A Break and Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity. His "Give Me a Break" commentaries take a skeptical look at a wide array of issues, such as education, the economy, parenting, and more. His blog can be read here.
The episode of Stossel will air on the Fox Business Network on Thursday at 8pm & 12 midnight ET (5pm & 9pm PT), Saturday at 7 PM and 11 PM, and Sunday at 10 PM.

I was doing the cross-channel boogie the other day and I came across the last half-hour of Woody Allen's "Annie Hall." I always liked that movie, from the night I saw it as the Closing Night film at the 1977 Los Angeles International Film Exposition.
It was a smallish, personal movie featuring Allen as neurotic stand-up comic Alvy Singer and Allen's then gal pal Diane Keaton as the titular Annie Hall, a recent transplant to New York from the Midwest. It has some surprising retro-cameos, like Jeff Goldblum at a Hollywood party telling somebody "I forgot my mantra" and Alvy's sight-gag date towering over him outside a movie theater is revealed in the credits to be Sigourney Weaver, but the most important thing about "Annie Hall" isn't in the film itself: "Annie Hall" changed Oscar campaigning forever.
In 1977, the west side of Los Angeles was served by a local company called Theta Cable, and Theta had a movie channel called "Z Channel" that was the prototype for all the cable movie channels that come later. It had eclectic programming that drew and kept the attention of the most movie-savvy neighborhoods in the world.
United Artists had the breakthrough idea of putting "Annie Hall" on Z Channel. It ran in dayparts across the day and night and it's fair to say that every member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences saw it. Although the Academy screened nominated movies nightly at its Wilshire Boulevard headquarters free for members -- at times that are selected by random draw, so a "Best Song" nominee might get a plum day and time while a "Best Picture" nominee got a stinker -- "Annie Hall" was piped right into Academy members' homes.
"Annie Hall" won "Best Picture" at the Oscars, and also "Best Actress" for Diane Keaton, "Best Original Screenplay" and "Best Director," and the movie industry took notice. My uncle, who was a member of the Academy, was inundated by For Your Consideration VHS cassettes the next year.
The movie ends on a bittersweet note as Annie and Alvy, their relationship long over, meet for a cordial lunch and Alvy reflects that relationships are tough, but they're like the guy who tells a shrink "My brother thinks he's a chicken."
The shrink asks why the guy doesn't send him in for treatment, and he says "I should... but we need the eggs." And Alvy reflects that that's why we put up with the bad stuff, because we need the eggs.
1977 was a watershed year for Hollywood movies, the success of "Star Wars" (on the heels of "Jaws" two years earlier) changed the studio executives' attitude from making good movies to making blockbusters but by bringing their little movie directly to the voters, United Artists changed Oscar campaigning forever.

Throwback
Back in the '70s Golden Age, when porn was shot on film and shown in theaters, the idea of a promotional poster for a porn movie was part of the deal. Now, it's something special.
Girlfriends Films is going back to that era with a promo poster for its new "Netskirts" DVD. Have a look:
GIRLFRIENDS FILMS RELEASES POSTER & TRAILER FOR ANTICIPATED SOCIAL NETWORKING SERIES "NETSKIRTS"
Stars like Julia Ann, Brea Bennett & Samantha Ryan Make "NetSkirts" Poster & Trailer Ideal Marketing Tools for Retailers!
RESEDA, Calif. -- Girlfriends Films releases the trailer and collectible poster for the new, anticipated series "NetSkirts". The hot, eye-catching poster features performers like Girlfriends Films' contract stars Prinzzess and India Summer, as well as Julia Ann, Dyanna Lauren, Brea Bennett and more, while the over two minute trailer offers a tasty glimpse of the first volume. With an innovative concept about the sex resulting from social networking, "NetSkirts" is predicted to captivate viewers upon its release early next month. Until then, the "NetSkirts" posters and trailer are excellent marketing tools for retailers to increase awareness. Debra Peterson, Director of Marketing for retail giant Fairvilla Megastore says, "The latest poster advertising Girlfriends Films' new series 'NetSkirts' is another example of how in tune the studio is with the consumer. Sales from our stores consistently prove that marketing tools, such as eye-catching posters, draw people in. Sales also reflect just how much people love Girlfriends Films. 'NetSkirts sounds like a fun and original idea that is going to do extremely well in our stores."."
In "NetSkirts", prey is only a mouse click away. The series focuses on the trials of dating for the modern, workingwoman in the community of Thornhill. Full-time professionals Julia Ann and Dyanna Lauren like to work hard and play harder. However, their lives are often too busy to go out and play the field in search of pretty, young nymphs. The problem is solved when the horny cougars discover NetSkirts.com, a new social networking site. Full of sweet and eager-to-please girls like Prinzzess, Heather Starlet, Shyla Jennings and Brea Bennett, NetSkirts.com is the perfect place to socialize or sexualize.
Filmed in high definition with Sony XDCAM cameras, "NetSkirts" is a visual treat. "NetSkirts" on DVD includes a XXX and glamour photo gallery, plus trailers to hit Girlfriends Films movies. The DVD is presented in 16:9 widescreen format.

Hail the conquering Conan
Constant readers will remember that back in January I was keeping extensive tabs on the Conan-Leno debacle, planting my flag in the Conan camp and watching the developments as the NBC late-night franchise fell backwards into mediocrity.
I was pleased when Conan landed on his feet, and watched appreciatively as he went on a live tour and then skewered the NBC Brain Trust on "60 Minutes."
This morning brings more good news: Ever since Conan was announced as taking the 11:00 slot on TBS, there has been serious conjecture as to where the show would shoot.
"Sex Files" in production. Rod Fontana behind the desk, Kimberly Kane and Anthony Rosano in front.
Culture shock
I was on a set yesterday for the second "Sex Files" and it was a revelation. It is always nice to see longtime friends like Rod Fontana and Kimberly Kane, and meet colleagues like Sam Hain, Lee Roy Myers and Ralph Long, but I felt like Rip Van Winkle on the tech side.
I remember when TV cameras were boxes the size of packing crates filled with tubes, and in the '70s I was amazed when I saw Ikegami cameras the size of shoeboxes in broadcast studios.
This production was shot with a camera that looked like a Nikon 35mm SLR. Myers told me that the electronic signals recorded by the camera could be altered in post to look like film. In a throwback to mainstream film production, there was a clapboard to provide a synch for a separate sound system that recorded audio. One step forward, one step back.
The other revelation was India Summer. I had seen her in several girl/girl scenes, but I didn't remember her from boy/girl scenes.
Wow.
She did a scene with Eric John that totally blew me away. She was enthusiastic as hell -- or at least she looked enthusiastic, which is all that matters for the camera -- and even if what she was doing was acting instead of arousal Eric popped twice in succession and that ain't acting.
I was a big fan of the first "Sex Files" DVD (I'm not sure where the review I wrote for Xbiz went, I'd link to it but I can't find it anywhere) and if this one looks as good on the screen as it did in the studio, Digital Sin and Revolution X have another winner on their hands.

Daisy Marie
Daisy Marie redux
The former adult performer and Penthouse Pet has come back to the industry as a solo model for stills and spokesmodel. Not exactly the return to hardcore some had been hoping for but better than having her disappear entirely.
Daisy Marie is back
LOS ANGELES -- The beautiful and critically acclaimed Adult and Mainstream Star and Model, Daisy Marie, is back, and what a back! The gorgeous Latin Queen Daisy Marie recently completed the extensive tattoo project on her back, and it looks great.
Daisy Marie took some time off and now is back, but hasn't fully returned to the adult industry. Daisy Marie will be returning to do only solo girl modeling assignments for magazines, and possible modeling work on sites and spokes model work. Daisy will also be pursuing mainstream model opportunities as well.
"I'm very grateful for the opportunities and work I've received from the adult industry in the past, but after spending some time thinking about it, I've decided to come back to just do modeling gigs. I hope everyone understands. I still want to work, but just as a solo model. I've been taking great care of myself and look good and feel great, and can't wait to get started modeling", stated Daisy Marie.
Daisy Marie has graced the cover and pages of numerous men's magazines over the years, including Hustler, and Penthouse. Daisy Marie will also be pursing some mainstream acting roles as well. Daisy Marie was a costar on the acclaimed Cinemax series "Co Ed Confidential"
Daisy Marie will have A List Talent representing her for modeling gigs. Daisy Marie also plans on releasing her beautiful and sexy 2011 calendar around the holidays.
About Daisy Marie Daisy Marie grew up in Los Angeles, and spent many years in her early childhood in the booking gym where her father, a former professional boxer from Mexico was training. Daisy Marie's career in adult began right after her 18th birthday. Daisy Marie was a co star of the popular Cinemax series, "Co Ed Confidential", and has graced the cover of many popular men's magazines.

tod-hunter.net La Jolla correspondent sends his May report about work and play. He calls it "From the trenches" because "Eat your heart out" would be out of character, but I'll bet he had a better time at the Kentucky Derby than pretty much anybody.
FROM THE TRENCHES BY: Dave Cummings -- Porn Star, Producer, and Director
MAY, 2010
I'm often asked what it's like to be on a porn shoot; and, lots of folks ask me to arrange for them to get on a set (something I can't do!) so they can "just" watch.
Well, I think innovative Director Bobby Rinaldi of Wildlife Productions has created a way for folks to feel like they are/were actually on set. Employing multiple cameras, he's adroitly and uniquely captured the actual happenings of a typical day on a porn set from start to finish, and has begun releasing 3-hour DVDs of live and uncensored looks of the original version of each of the last four shoots of his ongoing and acclaimed "Screw My Wife, Please" series. Last week, he filmed Volume 72 of the series, and yes there was extensive all-day filming for a "Live and Uncensored" DVD of it, and what it's like being on a porn shoot. Keep an eye on wildlifexxx.com to see when it's released -- and, if you want to experience being a live set, enjoy all of these sex-filled and informative releases from Wildlife (even though I was in the filming, I found the DVDs of the shoots interesting and sexually exciting). I've always felt like Bobby Rinaldi was a super Director, and his latest creation is further proof of it.
Last week's shoot of Volume 72 was super-enjoyable and naturally pleasant, due in part to the beautiful scenery of the mountains and hills of Calabasas, an upscale community west of Canoga Park, California. Of course, the scenery of five beautiful wives being separately filmed in various sexual positions also was "enjoyable and pleasant". There's always fun kidding and laughter on Bobby Rinaldi sets, and a sense of "family". And, yes, even though my main function in the series is to perform as "Host" for the shoot, a couple of the wives gave me head, both in the Behind-the Scenes (BTS) footage and in the actual sex scene filming. God bless them!
Speaking of "family", my son turned 43 recently, and in addition to the normal family birthday cake, ice cream, and presents on his actual birthday, my grandson (age 13) and granddaughter (age 7) cooked up a scheme to kidnap him and release him in the kid's area of the nearby Chuck E. Cheese, just like he was still a "kid". I was designated as the getaway driver. My grandkids put a lot of planning into the family fun, and made numerous phone calls to "Grandpa Dave" chuckling over their latest idea for the event. Unfortunately, on "kidnap" day, it rained so hard that we unavoidably went to their "plan b" which called for diverting to a local brewery and grill for pizza. The giggling as the kids talked about their master plan between bites of pizza was constant; we were all laughing so hard that tears were plentiful. Other families sitting nearby became extended family as they overheard the kidnap plan, and came by to visit a bit. Family fun rocks!
I attended a "theme" swinger party/Barbeque at a private estate two weeks ago, this one centered upon the Kentucky Derby. The women wore fancy hats (but not much else) while we guys kept them supplied with fresh mint julep drinks. We ate, drank and even watched the actual race; then, like a floodgate, everyone started having sex! The patio and large hot tub was alive with swinging "action", as was the massage table, the den chairs and couches, and the group room. After an hour or so, we gathered around the bar near the pool, only to have sex break out all over again. I love being a porn star, but I also enjoy the "family" of swingers, a group of fun loving real people who enjoy sex and the friendship of swinging! Going to a swing party reminds me a bit of church fellowship and ice cream socials.
Enjoy your upcoming summer, and your family and friends; use sun block, drive safely, and celebrate sex and life.
If she has retired, this could be one of the last DVDs
May 14, 2010
Now you see her...
I was talking with an industry publicist last night and she told me that she heard that Eva Angelina had retired.
I found that interesting, because earlier that afternoon I had received a brand new DVD with Eva Angelina on the cover. (Note illustration.)
I'll have to find out more about this. Don't be fooled
The corporate noise machine is gearing up to oppose Net Neutrality by ginning up fake opposition to a "government takeover of the Internet."
If Net Neutrality is not written into law, there is nothing to stop Internet providers from restricting access to only those websites that the providers deem worthy, either by buying advertisements or advocating political positions that the Internet provider agrees with.
Right-wing wackjobs like John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Glenn Beck and Fox "News" are all lining up in favor of defeating Net Neutrality, allowing a corporate takeover of the Internet. The only thing that can stop them and their lies is a concerted effort to stop them in their tracks.
Click here and find out more. And then get your Congressional representatives on board. This is too important to leave to the mouth-breathing teabaggers.
One of the signs of the coming apocalypse
NBC seems to have cancelled "Law & Order." The show, which has been a part of the NBC lineup for two decades and was well on its way to breaking the long-run record set by "Gunsmoke," was summarily cancelled by the same NBC brain trust that made such a total fuckup of the Conan-Leno mess.
Word has it that there may be a last-minute reprieve. Click through the link to Nikki Finke's column for the latest word.
Jeff Mullen, who managed to register "Not" as a trademark in adult movie titles, has announced his intention to turn his cross-hairs on the venerable sitcom "The Beverly Hillbillies" With Betty White so hot right now, I'm surprised nobody's turning their hand to "Life with Elizabeth," but you watch, somebody will grab it.
The actual press release includes liberal use of the little R-in-a-circle doohickey but it comes out like this ® on this site so I took it out.
Beverly Hillbillies Got Next with X-Play & Sitcums.com
(Hollywood, CA) The Beverly Hillbillies never looked so good. Sticking to their award-winning formula of turning classic television shows into porn parodies, X-Play is shooting a spoof of the Beverly Hillbillies called Not The Beverly Hillbillies XXX which will hit stores this fall.
The movie will join an impressive list of fantastic TV shows that have earned the porn parody royal treatment including The Brady Bunch, Bewitched, Three's Company, The Cosby Show, Married with Children, Monday Night Football, The Partridge Family, the recently shot M*A*S*H, the upcoming Charlie's Angels and a return to the 1960s with Not The Beverly Hillbillies XXX.
Throw in the Britney Rears series of Britney Spears porn parody comedies and the classic movie Airplane becoming Not Airplane XXX: Flight Attendants and you have a treasure trove of wholesome goodness.
X-Play and director Will Ryder decided to do a porn parody of the Beverly Hillbillies which ran on CBS Television from 1962 until 1971 because it fit in perfectly with what the company does best and what porn fans and lovers of classic television want to see.
"We really enjoy making people laugh and if they get a boner at the same time, then we've done our jobs," remarked Will Ryder who is the 2010 AVN Director of the Year and the 2010 XRCO Best Director winner. "Plus who doesn't want to see Elly Mae get naked in the cement pond?"
You can check out a PG trailer of X-Play's latest spoof Not the Bradys XXX: Bradys Meet the Partridge Family due in stores May 25th from X-Play/LFP Video www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8TD7SaQ5z8
"Our movies really work well with couples because they really are the type of porn you can comfortably introduce your wife or your girlfriend to without any embarrassment because they're familiar and funny," stated X-Play and Sitcums co-producer Scott David. "Just look for the X-Play label."
X-Play's www.sitcums.com team which is responsible for many of porn's biggest hits has purchased a beat up 1921 Oldsmobile truck from a Minnesota farmer that is an exact replica of the one used on The Beverly Hillbillies.
"I can close my eyes and visualize Granny sitting up there in her chair with her shotgun at the ready but we didn't tell the farmer we wanted his truck for a porn movie but if we ever spoof Green Acres we might ask him if he wants to see some boobs running around his cattle," Ryder joked.
Casting will soon be underway and girls and agents are encouraged to send their photos to X-Play for consideration. Well, the girls' photos are requested not the agents' photos cuz Will Ryder and Scott David already know what the agents look like.
Check out all of the great porn parodies from X-Play at www.sitcums.com and pick up a DVD at your favorite store.
Truth and Soul on TCM tonight
Mainstream watch
Tonight, TCM is showing two late-'60s-early-'70s films by iconoclastic director Robert Downey, who (thanks to the success of his actor son) is now known as "Robert Downey Senior." His 1969 "Putney Swope" is a take-no-prisoners attack on Madison Avenue advertising that starts with the chief executive of an ad agency making an incoherent speech at a staff meeting, then keeling over dead. The surviving members then have to elect a new chief, and everybody votes for Putney Swope, The Token Black Guy, because they each thought nobody else would. Swope takes over the agency, fires everybody, restaffs (with a Token White Guy) and renames the agency "Truth & Soul." Hilarity ensues. Some Nixon-and-Kissinger-specific satirical points may have been lost in the sands of time, but it'll be interesting to see if it holds up.
"Putney Swope" is a warm-up for Downey's next film, which follows on TCM: "Greaser's Palace," an allegory of the story of Christ set in the old west, with Allan Arbus as a zoot-suited Messiah who arrives by parachute.
Saturday morning, TCM is playing one of my favorite movies, "The Swimmer." As I have said before, it's a forgotten '60s movie about a man (Burt Lancaster) who whimsically decides to swim home one afternoon through the backyard pools in suburban Connecticut. As he interacts with the people on his route, we begin to get the feeling that Something Is Wrong Here. The film was directed by Frank Perry, who specialized in depressing movies like "Diary of a Mad Housewife" and "Mommie Dearest," but this time it works.
Tonight and tomorrow, the New Beverly (Quentin Tarantino, Prop.) is showing two hard-nosed noir films: Billy Wilder's "Ace in the Hole" starring Kirk Douglas as an opportunistic reporter who manipulates the rescue of a man trapped in a mine to further his own journalistic career, and 'The Harder They Fall," a 1956 boxing movie starring Humphrey Bogart as a sportswriter hired by a shady fight promoter to publicize the promoter's new boxer, a giant from Argentina who combines a weak punch with a glass jaw. Fortunately, with Bogart as press rep and the promoter greasing opponents to throw fights, the future looks rosy -- until they find a fighter who won't play.
A friend of mine (who I would happily acknowledge but I don't know which name to use) sent me to this link that says porn-to-mainstream darling Sasha Grey will start to appear on "Entourage" in the upcoming season. I don't watch "Entourage," I used to work with guys like that and I didn't much like them. FSC pisses people off
I think that the large number of vehement "porn should be free, tough luck for you" comments indicate that the adult industry is still in the Napster era. We have to get to the iTunes era, and fast, or we are screwed.
New instructional DVDs from Good Vibrations
I remember when "sex education" was a euphemism for "porn." People didn't watch them to learn something, they watched them for entertainment. One of the side-effects of the near-ubiquity of porn is that when a DVD is called "sex education," it really is sex education.
Good Vibrations adds a couple of new DVDs to the mix on the fine art of oral sex. I'm not sure where they got the sanction to make these DVDs "official guides," but have a look:
Good Vibrations' Pleasure-Ed Series Presents 'Heads Up: The Official Guide to Fellatio' and 'Going Down: The Official Guide to Cunnilingus'
High Quality Explicit Sex Education
First Two Titles in New Line of Films Educate and Inspire with Real Sex, Valuable Information from Good Vibrations Staff Sexologist Dr. Carol Queen

May 11, 2010
Rumor has it
My sources tell me that Miss April 2009, Hope Dworaczyk, has been selected Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Year for 2010.
I hope this is true, because now I'll finally learn how to pronounce "Dworaczyk."
The PMOY dinner will be held at the Palms in Las Vegas again this year, so I won't be there to congratulate her in person, but all the best to her.
Unclear on the concept
I don't know where you are, if you're in California and have a functioning TV set you already know this, but we have a Republican primary race for Governor that is turning into a demolition derby.
On one side, we have Meg Whitman, eBay kajillionaire, who has been on every channel about as often as station identification. Early on, she had a three-point plan to save California including the ridiculous statement "Fix education" which sounded more like a tag line from SNL than an actual plan.
On the other side, we have Insurance Commissioner (or maybe former Insurance Commissioner) Steve Poizner, who also wants to get the Republican nomination and also has a few bucks in his back pocket because his ads are on almost as much as Whitman's, in fact sometimes their ads run back-to-back. I think this is because they have both bought so much commercial time that there aren't any other advertisements left to put between them.
The ads have degenerated into attacks, based essentially on the contention that "I'm the real conservative, that other person is a liberal." A recent Whitman attack on Poizner listed his "liberal" positions in enough detail that I was ready to vote for him myself.
This is interesting, because although labeling yourself as a "conservative" is a good way to get the Republican nomination, it's been shown to be the kiss of death in the general election. You can bet the Democrats are TiVoing every Poizner and Whitman ad they can to use for the November elections.
Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Adam & Eve gives back
The good people at Adam & Eve have donated more than 1,200 pairs of shoes to Haitian relief and also helped an organization that encourages breeding by endangered species, and you can bet if those endangered species needed sex toys to get the job done Adam & Eve would have sent a gross without hesitation.
ADAM & EVE DONATES TO HAITI, CONTRIBUTES TO LOCAL CHARITY
Hillsborough, NC -- Adam & Eve, the nation's number one source for all things erotic, is pleased to announce its latest donations in a long history of giving. Their latest contributions include a donation of 1287 pairs of shoes to the Haitian earthquake survivors, as well as a combined contribution of $7747 to the Conservators Center outside of Mebane, NC.
The employees and management at the Hillsborough-based headquarters of the largest adult web and mail order company in America have long contributed time and money to charities and events on both a local and national level. When these two opportunities presented themselves, the company was quick to respond.
The www.soles4solesfundraising.org program struck a chord with many Adam & Eve employees. The nearly 1300 pairs of shoes donated required three pallets, which weighed in excess of 1500 pounds. Adam & Eve paid to ship all of the shoes to the Soles4Souls headquarters in Alabama for distribution.
Gidget Watson, a longtime employee of Adam & Eve, brought the idea to the company when her daughter said her school was involved. Says Watson, "I was touched at how many shoes we collected for Soles4Souls; its lets me know that we as a team can do anything together. I am proud of my company and my daughter Nala for suggesting this idea."
The idea to raise money for the local Conservators Center was a given for many Adam & Eve employees. The center is based just outside Mebane, NC, where a large number of Adam & Eve employees live. The facility is a nonprofit organization that preserves threatened species through responsible captive breeding, rescuing wildlife in need, and providing educational programs and support worldwide.
Through a department sponsored lunch and spring plant sale, as well as Adam & Eve matching the funds and a significant third party donation, the company raised nearly $8000 for the Conservators Center move to Chapel Hill, NC.
Adam & Eve employee Mary Ellen Reiley, who championed this fundraiser, says, "These funds will go a long way in helping the Conservators Center. We were also able to get locally grown plants from Multiflora Greenhouses at a discount to raise our funds."
Adam & Eve's philanthropic works tend to focus on locally based charities in Orange County, NC, or the surrounding areas. Other benefactors include major groups like the American Cancer Society and March of Dimes, but also many area high schools, churches, environmental initiatives and health organizations.
Mainstream looks at porn
May 10, 2010 The Ignore/Rent/Buy/Keep scale is back!
I'm reviewing again. The people behind the recent porn documentary "9 to 5: Days in Porn" sent me a copy and I watched it over the weekend. My thoughts are here.
PSK Tank Top. Julia Ann not included.
T-Shirt night at Porn Star Karaoke

At this week’s PSK, May 11th Nicki Hunter and some special guests will be handing out both men & women PSK shirts to all who attend, that is while supplies last, so come early! If you don’t already have one, this is your chance to get one.

King of Cool still putting us on
Almost 30 years after his death, actor Steve McQueen is still revered as the King of Cool. People who never heard of him watch "Bullitt" and come out amazed. The Heuer Monaco chronograph watch he wore in the movie "Le Mans" is still in production and now bears his name.
He also put one over on Life magazine. The staid photo weekly was a weekly large-format look at the world. Whatever happened, anywhere, you could count on good color pictures of it the next week in Life. The magazine was eventually made obsolete by increased sophistication of TV news (the same thing happened to newsreels).
For a 1963 photo feature, McQueen was followed around by a Life photographer who snapped shots of him with his wife and kids, working out, and relaxing at his Palm Springs bungalow. Around his pool, McQueen stripped off his shorts and posed nude.
"Steve goes away and he comes back without any clothes on! He just enjoyed being out in the desert, looking at the sun," the photographer marveled. "He was just so natural about everything. There was no time to feel embarrassed, so I shot all the pictures that I needed to shoot."
One shot tells a different tale, though: this one, with him drinking a cup of coffee. McQueen may have been at ease with no clothes on, but it sure looks like he didn't do it very often. Looks to me like he was just getting naked to fake out the photographer.
Good for him.

About Porn Star Karaoke
Karaoke...sometimes when it's bad, it's better.
Every Tuesday night, adult industry members gather to kick back at this little bar & grill in Burbank, CA called Sardo’s Grill & Lounge, the original Porn Star Karaoke. Sardo’s is honored that we are very often imitated but never duplicated. To quote some porn stars who come on Tuesday nights, “ We get drunk and entertain each other in any way that the law will permit, all loosely disguised as karaoke.”
It all started back in July of 2003 with a cozy group of friends. More people kept showing up every week, and it blew up into the phenomenon that is now P-O-R-N Star Karaoke. This weekly event is generating lots of press and notoriety as well as good times for all.
Hang with big name adult stars, party till the wee hours of the morning and see why this is the longest running re-occurring industry event EVER!
The fun begins at 9pm and goes till 2am with drink specials, giveaways and more.
If you want to be a sponsor of PSK, all that's required is for you to provide merchandise for give-aways during the evening for twenty (20) fans, so they can leave with a tangible reminder of your company and their night at PSK. For more information or to book a date to be a sponsor, contact Seymour at mail@sardosbar.com <mailto:mail%40sardosbar.com>.
Location: Sardo's Grill and Lounge. 259 N. Pass Ave., Burbank, CA. 818.846.8126.

Latin scholars will note the irony
Virginia Attorney General backs off on boob coverup
The attorney general of Virginia, Ken Cuccinelli, was so upset by the exposed breast of a Roman goddess on the state seal that he commissioned a lapel pin for his colleagues with the goddess's boob covered up by an armored breastplate.
I, for one, am not surprised that the guy is a Republican.
