Huffington Post Spotlights Women Directors In The Adult Industry




I have to give a big shout out and applaud The Huffington Post for their amazing article on women directors in the porn industry. I think, especially with the release of that awful documentary Hot Girls Wanted which I will be reviewing later this week, this is a welcome and much needed spotlight on the industry to show that it is not a degrading, misogynistic industry full of women beaters who are pimping out women and getting them addicted to drugs and alcohol.
In fact, if you really look at the films that are coming out a good number of them are being directed by women and more and more women are opening up their own studios and doing lesbian porn or more female oriented porn to cater to the growing number of women who are now no longer afraid of being stigmatized for watching, and enjoying, porn.
Stormy Daniels, Jessica Drake, Erika Lust and Candida Royalle are the four major directors that are spotlighted in the article but these four talented women are just the tip of the iceberg and I am hopeful, and confident, that this article will make people research all of the other talented female directors we have in this industry: Kay Brandt, Nicki Hunter, Shine Louise Houston, mr. Pam, Nica Noelle, Kimberly Kane as well as look at The Feminist Porn Awards and see that this isn't a "good old boys' club" like some "feminists" would have you believe.
So take five minutes and read this amazing article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/meet-the-powerful-women-directors-working-in-porn_55ca50a7e4b0f1cbf1e68c13
And thank you ladies. It would be an honor to work with each and every one of you.

A Legal Fund Has Been Started To Help Rentboy

A legal fund has been started to help pay the attorney fees in the Rentboy legal case. Reportedly all of CEO Jeff Hurant's business and personal assets have been seized leaving him with no way to support, sustain or pay for his fees.
To help bring justice to this gross misuse of our legal system and this thinly veiled witch hunt and anti LGBT and sex worker attack please go here: http://www.rentboyfund.org/
Stay strong boys. We will prevail over this bigotry.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation Subpoenas Performer's Medical Records

In a move that not only violates patient privacy but also violates HIPAA  laws AIDS Healthcare Foundation has subpoenaed the medical records of performers who visited Cutting Edge Testing and Talent Testing Service.
AVN is reporting that if performers visited West Oaks Urgent Care Center (Dr. Rigg) between 2007 up until now then your information may have been subpoenaed.
AVN has provided an email that performers whose privacy may have been compromised can write to: injury@westoaksurgentcare.com and are being asked to copy and paste this letter into the email:

Dear Dr. Rigg and West Oaks Urgent Care Center, I understand that Michael Weinstein as a party to the Measure B Litigation and AIDS Healthcare Foundation (Case Number 13-CV-00190-ddP-AGR) have issued a Subpoena to Produce Documents which include the medical information of patients identified as adult film performers or those associated with adult films.

As a patient of your clinic, I strongly object to the sharing or disclosure of any of my records, medical information, medical records, and personal identifying information. I hereby revoke any prior HIPAA waivers or permission granted to your clinic with regard to the above referenced subpoena.

Do not under any circumstances, even if redacted, provide any of the subpoenaed documents! I am asserting the protections provided by HIPAA, the Federal Constitution, the California Constitution, the California Health and Safety Code, and all other applicable State and Federal Statutes. You will be subject to monetary damages, attorney’s fees and costs if you do not comply with my request.

Performers are also asked to keep checking The Free Speech Coalition's website for updates as well.

I have to say this makes me sick. I can't believe that Weinstein, who is nothing but a money hungry asshole, and AHF would do this. Of course I'm not surprised. An HIV prevention foundation I'm on the board of, Care XO, was almost shut down by AHF because they didn't want competition. And I am against AHF because they don't do anything about prevention but only get involved once someone is infected.
I sincerely hope that the proper legal action is taking against them and they are shut down.

Review Of Michael Hoffman's Threeway Sex Tape

I don't know why I expected the threeway sex tape to be better then the two way sex tape he released. I don't know why I tortured myself and lost about 20 minutes of my life I will never get back.  Maybe I thought in the time between the sex tape between him and the girl was released and this sex tape was released maybe Michael Hoffman learned how to fuck.  Nope.  I never thought I'd say this but some people just weren't born to fuck and he should stick to his jerk off and fingering videos. At least in those he stays hard.
I'm pissed because I really wanted to like these two sex tapes.  God knows we've been waiting years to see Hoffman in action.
So anyway the threeway.  Its nothing to write home about.  It's Michael Hoffman a girl and another guy.  I'm assuming their friends of his.  The other guy mostly does all the fucking while the girl sucks Michael off.  When Michael is finally up at bat he can't stay hard, like in the last one.
I actually feel sorry for the kid but I dont know maybe everyone is right and he is gay and is trying too hard to prove his straightness.  Whatever the case may be I think this is the biggest waste of a threeway ever.  There's no arousal, no passion and if you are watching this to masturbate to don't. You'll be just like Michael Hoffman flaccid the whole time.
All I know is if I had been a fan who paid for thos shit I'd be pissed and demand a refund. Michael not being mean but either stick to jerking off and fingering yourself or fuck people who make you hard.

Former Porn Star Chad Alva's New Band Ass Life Drops Three Music Videos

I love how so many male performers who are either currently in porn or were in porn are in band. And they are really fucking talented! Xander Corvus, Dale DaBone, Danny Wylde and Chad Alva.
Danny and Chad actually formed the band Chiildren together and if you aren't familiar with them or haven't seen them play live do yourselves a favor and do it! You gotta love any band that has videos of Sleepaway Camp playing behind them during their set.
Anyway, Chad's latest band, Ass Life, has just dropped three music videos from their debut album A Couple Cold Ones and these videos are fucking awesome! Can't wait to listen to the full album.
The videos can be viewed here: http://www.theprp.com/2015/08/18/news/ex-dead-to-fall-bassistporn-star-chad-fjerstad-returns-with-new-group-ass-life/

The Impact Team Releases Ashley Madison Data

In a move that sickens me, the cowards known as The Impact Team, have released the data they stole from site Ashley Madison after Avid Life Media refused to take down the site and Established Men.
Gizmodo has released the story and it can be found here: http://gizmodo.com/the-ashley-madison-hackers-just-released-all-of-their-s-1724920693?utm_campaign=socialflow_gizmodo_facebook&utm_source=gizmodo_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
I am sorry that all the users of that site have now had their personal information, including credit card info, addresses and photos spread all over the internet and I hope the pieces of shit behind The Impact Team are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and I am glad they are so fucking perfect that they have never sinned or made a mistake.
Sorry for the rage fueled post but this kind of shit pisses me off. Don't expose people like this. You may not agree with it but you don't know their story and if The Impact Team turns out to be some pissed off housewife whose husband was on the site, all I can say is bitch you probably deserved it.
I truly hope The Impact Team can sleep at night and they are prepared to deal with all the repercussions they will receive from this.

Shine Louise Houston Talks To Cosmo

I love that Cosmo is becoming truly sex positive, as well as becoming porn positive, sex worker positive, women of color positive and queer positive! Great job Cosmo and I will proudly support you guys and I am so happy that they are talking to one of my favorite directors in the industry, Shine Louise Houston. I've talked about Shine numerous times on the blog and I am always happy to give her and her company press and promote the projects they are doing. Shine, as I said, is one of my favorite directors and someone I look up to and I would absolutely love to work with her one day. So Shine if you read this and ever need a little nerdy guy who's good with comedy and also, surprisingly, good with drama for a non-sex role hit me up.
Anyway back to the Cosmo piece....
This is part of their Sex Work column which documents a new woman in the sex worker field every week. In this column Shine talks about what led her to film, how she got her film degree, why she decided the industry needed a director like her and why she is crowdfunding her latest feature. It's a fascinating piece and you can read it here: http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/news/a44421/what-its-like-to-own-a-porn-company/

WWE Changes Name Of Diva Stable Due To Sharing Name With Adult Site

Okay this story made me laugh my ass like no other!
WWE has decided to change the name of the new Diva's stable, Submission Sorority, whose members include Charlotte, Paige and Becky Lynch because, apparently, Submission Sorority is already the name of a popular porn site so when fans would type in the name to their Google searches the porn site would come up.
WWE reportedly thought of changing the name of the stable to The Horsewomen but opted not to as not to offend Ronda Rousey, a WWE fan who, along with Marina Shafir, Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke call themselves The Four Horsewomen; they have the blessing of both Arn Anderson and Ric Flair.
The rumor is that the new name for the girls will be, wait for it it's almost better and even more porny then Submission Sorority.....The Submission Sisters. I know. I know. I love it as a stand up comic when the jokes write themselves.
TMZ has reported that one of the adult sites who came up in the Google searches has sent Vince McMahon a thank you gift basket for increasing traffic to their site.

Cosmo Details Sex Worker Who Shot Alleged Serial Killer

Wow, this is an incredible story and I applaud Cosmo for telling it. You can see the full article here: http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/news/a44336/how-this-sex-worker-who-killed-an-alleged-serial-killer-is-changing-the-sex-industry/ but to sum it up:
Last week a West Virginian sex worker named Heather was almost the victim of a brutal attack when a man named Neal Falls who she had met ad on Backpack showed up at her house, pointed a gun at her head and said "Live or die?"
Thinking fast, Heather grabbed a rake and when Falls dropped the gun she shot him, killing him. Falls is being investigated for the alleged murders of at least nine women in three states.
A Facebook page was started called Heather The Hero as well as a crowdfunding campaign but soon the person who started it became shaming Heather and fellow sex workers.
A real crowdfunding campaign has since been started which you can see here: https://www.crowdrise.com/heatherisahero/fundraiser/heatherhero
Amnesty International has also become involved drafting a bill that would decriminalize sex workers and victims of sex trafficking both adults and minors. Of course this has been met with criticism by some "feminists"-big surprise-including Gloria Steinam-again big surprise.
I have to applaud Heather for her quick thinking and bravery and offer my full support to her and please, to sex workers everywhere, be safe out there, boys and girls. Protect yourselves. Carry a gun, mace and/or a knife. And know how to defend yourselves and fight back.

Women's Health Magazine Lists The 7 Most Unbelievable Porn Genres

Even though this article was published last month, it seems to just now be gaining momentum on social media. You can read the full article here: http://www.womenshealthmag.com/sex-and-relationships/wtf-types-of-porn but for those of you who don't want to click I will list them for you here.
So get ready ladies and gentlemen, here are, according to Women's Health Magazine, the 7 most unbelievable genres in porn. Some you may know and some you may not. What are your thoughts on these? Leave me some comments below.

1) Balloon Porn: I was actually familiar with this fetish and Looners, as they are called. While I can't get a boner to a balloon and have no sexual desire to get off with a balloon or by a balloon popping, it is still an interesting fetish, at least to me, and some of the videos are pretty humorous.

2) Dinosaur And Monster Porn: This is a HUGE new genre in the erotica world but I didn't know just how big it was in porn. There's anime, obviously, but there are also live action videos that feature men in dinosaur suits fucking cave women. It's weird and weird and even more weird which makes it that much more entertaining.

3) Giantess Porn: I didn't even know this was a thing. Apparently it's a fetish of women who are shot, or photoshopped, to look like actual giants looming over tiny men.

4) Cat Costumes: So this one isn't that surprising or unbelievable to me. How many sexy cat costumes are there in the stores? And come on, who among us hasn't gotten a boner or wet while looking at Catwoman? Especially when she was played by Julie Newmar, Lee Meriweather or that yummy Eartha Kitt? And let's not forget when she went all leather/dominatrix in Batman Returns.

5) Breast Milk Porn: This is another one I was familiar with but have yet to check out. Lactation doesn't do it for me but hey, at least you can get your calcium while getting off.

6) Adult Baby Porn: Another one I was familiar with but doesn't do a thing for me. It's more humorous then titillating to me to see grown people, mostly men, dressed in diapers and being taken care of.

7) Clown Porn: I didn't know this was a real thing but, for some reason and maybe it's because I love the Family Guy clip of the clown porn, this one has peaked my curiosity more than the others and I am so beyond happy that this is a thing.

So there you have it, sports fans. What are your thoughts on this list? Agree? Disagree? Any that you are a fan of? Any you think should have been included? Let me know.

Michael Hoffman's Sex Tape Has Leaked

Well this is a day I never thought would come.
A while back there was a gif that leaked of Michael Hoffman fucking a girl doggy style. People wondered if a sex tape would leak but nothing ever came of it.
Well now, Brent Everett has released the tape on his site for free, no membership required. http://www.brenteverett.com/be_files/guest.php
And I have to say, Michael's jerk off videos are hotter and at least in those we get to see him hard, get to see him cum and get to see him act like he's enjoying himself.
This isn't so much a sex tape as it is a tape of two people doing some oral, kissing, attempting to do sex and finishing off just talking.
The girl in the tape is hot but I feel sorry for her. It's obvious that she wanted to fuck but Michael-I don't know if this was his first time with a girl or if he was nervous or maybe he was trying to prove that he's straight and failed-can't stay hard. He starts off okay but as soon as it's time for penetration his dick deflates like a balloon and when he does get hard again, he's only able to do a few thrusts before he's soft again. When he is able to fuck it is hot to see the way his abs contract but honestly, he comes across as a really boring and lousy lay.
This is something that you only watch if you're tired of Hoffman's jerk off videos or want to see him try to have sex but otherwise you're not missing much and I can see why Everett is offering this one up for free.
Grade: F

Exclusive Interview With Talent Agent Bella Roxxx!

Here is a big treat for you guys today and an interview I was really looking forward to.
Florida agent Bella Roxxx is joining us today to give a unique behind the scenes perspective on the industry from someone who has had a very long and extensive career in the industry both as an agent and a performer. Bella shares her thoughts on the new documentary Hot Girls Wanted and why she thinks Florida is actually a good place for girls to gain experience before making the move to LA and how the industry has changed since she started. 
So sit back and please welcome the amazing Miss Bella Roxxx!

JOE: First let me say, researching you, you have had an amazing career in an industry that is not known for longevity. So tell us, how did you get into the industry? I read on your agency site that you started as an exotic dancer. Was dancing something you always wanted to do? Was it easy to transition from dancing to modeling for men's magazines to eventually adult films? What are the top things you liked about each career? One you preferred doing over the other? Do you ever miss performing?

BELLA:  I broke into the industry when I was just a teenager.  My dad's girlfriend was dancing at the time and I had left home and was barely able to pay my bills, so I asked my dad to hook me up at the club and he reluctantly agreed.  I had always thought about being an exotic dancer since I was a little girl.  I was brought up in a very open family environment, where we were encouraged to be comfortable with our sexuality.  Yes, the transition was natural.  A photographer came in and saw me and my step sister doing a soft core lesbian show on stage and wanted to film it and submit us to various magazines.  I always dreamed about being in magazines so I was so excited!  It was definitely what we wanted to do because back then you could feature dance off one magazine credit.  We loved choreographing our shows, interacting with our fans, and getting to travel and see a lot.  Adult films I had been approached to do early in my career, but I wasn't ready to have full on sex with a guy on film.  I was having too much dancing, featuring, and doing photo shoots plus making more money than the porn stars were making back then.  When I saw MILF scenes were getting popular and I was a little too old to continue dancing, I found it to be a perfect fit and by that time I was ready.  I definitely loved feature dancing the most with magazines and adult film being a close second.  Once in awhile I miss performing, but I am so busy with my agency that I just wouldn't have the time to be prepared to film.  I also love being a mentor to my girls and running my own agency.

JOE: In your bio on your site you say that you didn't begin performing in adult films until 1998, what made you finally break into films? You worked for a lot of well respected companies in your career, did you have a favorite studio you worked for?  

BELLA:  Like I said, just made more money doing what I was doing.  I really enjoyed doing my shows with my step sister.  It was more of the age factor.  MILF was hot and I was a hot MILF. LOL  My favorite company by far has been working with Reality Kings!  Score was exciting too because they are a magazine, so it was fun to get two more magazine credits.

JOE:  What was filming your first scene like? Any pointers you can give for girls who are just beginning on how to make their first scene stand out or how to not let the nerves get the best of them? 

BELLA:  My first scene was with the Score Group with JMac as my male talent.  I was so incredibly nervous because it was new and I didn't know what to expect.  However, everyone was so kind and made me feel right at home.  My advice to girls is get more excited than nervous, watch a lot of porn so you know what you are going to be doing, and get plenty of sleep the night before!  I can't share all my secrets as that information is strictly for my models! So come join us at adultstarmkrs.com

JOE:  How has the industry changed since you were performing? What are your thoughts on how porn seems to be going more and more mainstream?

BELLA:   The whole adult industry has changed.  I started just giving table dances.  Nobody was allowed to touch us and no lap dancing or champagne rooms existed.  I opened the first lap dance club in NYC The Paradise Club in 1992, so many years after I began.  When the champagne rooms began, I wasn't dancing anymore.  I love that porn is being more and more accepted in society.  It's a job at the end of the day and our industry and all the people in it should be recognized for their work.  I've met some amazingly talented photographers, producers, and directors that are so great at what they do.  As for the girls, most of them have been through hard childhoods, so until you walk in our shoes, nobody has a right to judge.  These are some of the most beautiful people I have met in my life.

JOE: You retired in 2011 from performing after a long and successful career, what led you to the decision to retire? How does a performer know when it's time to retire from the industry? 

BELLA: I was very lucky and fortunate to be asked to be partners with a pretty big agency at the time, so that's when I got really busy and didn't have time to perform anymore.  I was ready to retire, it had been over 20+ years of performing so I was ready to get on the other side.  I can't speak for anybody else on when they feel the time to retire.   

JOE:  You now own a very successful agency is that something you always wanted to do? Tell us a little about your agency and what exactly a porn agent does. Can you give us an example of what a day in the life of a porn agent looks like?

BELLA: Thank you!  I never set out to be an agent, but I always wanted to manage other girls starting out.  So I guess it was fate!  What I love about my agency is that it is all female ran and that is the #1 reason the girls come to me.  Along with my being in the industry and having done everything they will do.  I love being a mentor and giving back.  A typical day for me begins at 6am.  The mornings consist of taking girls to shoots, picking girls up from airports, office work, orientation with new girls, setting up photo shoots to get nice pictures to submit to producers, taking new girls on go sees, picking up girls from shoots, scheduling shoots, and then when my day is over around 7pm I enjoy hanging out with my girls.

JOE:  Do you feel that having worked in the industry has helped you as an agent?

BELLA:  Absolutley!!!  I have so much information, experience, and advice to share with my girls.  I love it so much!

JOE:  What makes a good client? What is something you look for when you are deciding to take on a girl as a client? What are things the girls can do to make sure that they stay repped by you? And on the other side of that what makes a bad client and what turns you off to a potential client during meetings?

BELLA:  I love girls who take this job seriously and are open to learning.  What I look for are girls that are what the producers are looking for, so I have to follow the rules.  My girls must be between 18-25, minimal to no tattoos, height and weight proportionate, and very pretty.  My models can stay repped by me as long as they want.  I don't like girls who are on hard drugs, don't take the industry seriously, or are mean to other girls.  I hate drama most of all.

JOE:  Why did you choose to open your agency in Miami? Do you think you will ever branch out and open up offices in New York, Vegas or LA? Do you just rep girls in Miami or do you have clients all over?

BELLA: I live in South Florida and there is a lot of work here.  I have branched out to Vegas, Arizona, and LA already.  I'm not licensed in LA yet so I work with my partner Rylie and HussieModels.  I won't book anything in NY, because I don't book ultra rough or degrading scenes.

JOE: A documentary recently came out called Hot Girls Wanted which some people said was biased against the industry and was "porn shaming." Have you seen the documentary? If so what are your thoughts on it? 

BELLA: Yes, I have seen the documentary and I think it was a very poor representation of what the industry is like.  Again, this is my business partner Rylie who is in the film and he is one of the most decent people in the industry.   

JOE:  Going off that, Fusion.net recently released their own documentary Miami Porn: Sex Work In The Sunshine State and Xbiz has also started Xbiz Miami so is Miami the new happening place for porn and the place for up and comers to look into? 

BELLA: Absolutely!!! This is a great place to get your feet wet and learn what it's like to be on an adult film set.  It's much more slow paced here and gets the girls really prepared for LA.

JOE:  There has always been a stigma attached to porn that the girls are forced or tricked into doing it and the media and some radical "feminists" always seem to like to paint the picture of the sleazy porn director or agent and the casting couch, but from what I've seen the women involved in the industry are in it because they enjoy what they do and are comfortable and sexually liberated, so where do you think this stigma came from? In all your years working in the industry did you see women being forced, tricked, exploited and beaten like we have seen in some Hollywood films? Anything you would like to say to people who try to shame the porn industry?

BELLA:   Unfortunately I have seen agents force girls into doing "Auditions" which is never required.  However, it's a great way to be able to have sex with them.  I think this is why me being the only female agent in Florida is good, my girls feel really safe. 

JOE: Any advice for people who want to open up their own agency? What makes a good porn agent?

BELLA:  No comment. I'm not going to help what could be future competition! LOL

JOE:  Some women in the industry that I have interviewed say that men-both performers and men who watch porn-are the real ones who are being exploited in the industry, what are your thoughts on that?

BELLA:  I have no idea what these girls mean.

JOE: What advice do you have for girls in the industry to have a career that has lasted as long as yours has? 

BELLA: Be professional, be on time, be prepared i.e. model bag, treat every shoot the same whether it's $300 or $2000 shoot, don't get caught up in drama or gossip, most importantly always take this job seriously. 

JOE: As porn seems to be going more and more mainstream would you ever consider repping any mainstream models or performers? What about male performers? 

BELLA: No, I'm happy where I'm at right now.  Who knows what the future holds though. 

JOE: Where can potential clients or just fans in general keep in touch with you? Any exciting projects of your clients that you'd like to promote?  

BELLA: Just follow me on twitter.com/adultstarmkrs or keep checking out my website for special videos of the girls. You can also visit our YouTube web series at bellaroxxx1

I'd like to thank Bella for taking the time out of her busy schedule to give us such a great interview and an even greater insight into the industry. I certainly wish her, Adultstarmkrs and her girls all the best and can't wait to see how the industry in Miami continues to grow!

XOXO

I, Pornstar? My Experience On A Porn Set


Those of you who have been following the blog know doubt saw all my excited posts about my involvement in Safe Landings, Kay Brandt's new film in two years for Adam And Eve's new line of hardcore films based on best selling erotic novels. Well last Saturday we shot my scenes for the film; the whole film was actually shot over two days-Friday and Saturday-so that really tells you something about the amazing talent of the cast and crew. And now I am going to tell you my experience about working on my very first porn film in a non-sex dialogue only role.
First let me just say that the script is one of the best scripts I've read in years. I would have been crazy to turn it down. All of the characters had so much depth and richness that made it easy to find subtleties and subtexts and to bring a variety of juicy choices to set. In fact if Kay was to edit out the hardcore sex this is a movie that would be shown on LifeTime or in theatres and once you guys see the film, which is scheduled for a September/fall release, you'll see just how beautiful it is.
We shot in a beautiful house on La Tuna Canyon in Sun Valley. Being that I don't drive Kay had one of the PA's pick me up and drive me to set, although I would have gladly walked, and when we wrapped, since it was late and the last bus from Sun Valley had stopped running, the producer, David Lords' assistant, drove me to the subway which was so sweet of both of them and I can't thank them enough for the transportation.
So I arrive on set and it is just like a mainstream set. There's the equipment, actors going over sides, the designated room to put all of our stuff and, the most important thing, craft services. Being that I had gotten there a few hours early, I settled in and just started going over my lines so that I would be ready when Kay yelled action.I had three scenes, two of which involved actual dialogue and my first scene was very dialogue heavy so I wanted to be as ready as I could be and get all the nerves out before-I have the worst stage fright of any actor before I work.

And let me assure you, the nerves for this shoot were at full force and they only elevated two or three days before the shoot. As I mentioned in first post about my audition, there was a lot riding against me; the therapist character was written for a woman in her 30s and was a role that a more established and recognizable actress in the industry would have; a Jenna Jameson or a Nina Hartley or Traci Lords. I wanted to prove to Kay that she had made the right decision in casting me. I even brought my two scenes into my acting class and got coaching for them in there! And I was so super grateful that Kay had given me the script about three weeks in advance so I had ample time to research and study and prep.
I also found out after the shoot, and I'm glad I didn't know this before hand because even more pressure would have been thrown on the fire, that the lead Brenda James whom I auditioned with, was also instrumental in helping me get the role. Brenda told me after I had wrapped that she told Kay, "it has to be Joe. It has to be him." And for that, Brenda I will truly always be grateful to you.
A very pleasant surprise was when two of the extras arrived, Sam and David, whom I had met briefly at the audition. They are actually forming an adult entertainment production company called Venus Vice and let me tell you with their heads for networking, business sense and just general likability these two are going to succeed and become forces in the industry. The three of us have actually become really good friends and have hung out a few times since filming. They came to see me perform at Lip Sync LA Live and this past weekend the three of us, along with Kiki Daire who is so lovely and funny, went to James Deen's Overkill Fundraising Party in Hollywood.
Another person who I bonded with on set over our love of horror movies, 70's exploitation films like Cannibal Holocaust and comic books was lead Xander Corvus who, besides being an amazing actor-I'm serious watch his dramatic scenes in the films he'll make you cry-is also a really humble down to earth guy and a talented musician. He shared some of his music with me and I was totally impressed. Like seriously, why is this guy not getting VMA's and Grammy's? And why does it seem that male porn stars make the coolest music?
I could go on and on about how nice and talented everyone was. Brenda James, who I've already talked about. Besides being such a lovely woman is an amazing scene partner to act off of. Her facial expressions tell you so much about what she is feeling and gives you so much to work off. Watch her scenes and you'll see what I mean. Every actor who wants to nail facial expressions should study Brenda James, or she should start teaching a class on it. When it comes to facial expressions Brenda's like Bea Arthur, she doesn't have to say a damn word but you know every damn thing that's running through her head.
August Ames, the other female lead, was also so down to earth and she couldn't have been sweeter. And, for being how young she is, is also quite a fine actress. Marcus London is a great guy who is a total English gentlemen and just oozes that wonderful English charm. Fun loving director, Tarantino XXX, also showed up for a while, he couldn't stay because he had to go to the Vice Is Nice event, but he was so funny and again down to earth and willing to give advice to Sam and David so they could succeed with their company and, I have to say, just like on mainstream sets were we stand around talking about how the business has changed because of the internet and talking about the "good old days" that same thing happened on this set with Marcus and Tarantino XXX talking about the changes to the industry thanks to the internet and the good old days of porn and how there aren't real stars anymore like there used to be with Aunt Peg and Seka and all the greats. And he's, unfortunately, right.


When it came time to shoot all three scenes went well and we got them done quick and it was so rewarding as an actor to see how proud Kay was with the job I had done. I knew that I had proven to her that she had made the right decision and I did everything I set out to do with the character. I met my objectives, I told the story and I brought her character to life. I left that set feeling so pumped and so high and knowing I had reached a new level in my acting. I can't wait to see the finished film, and get my footage to add to my reel and press materials because I know this is going to help swing open many closed doors.
I do have to say though, it was a bit embarrassing and overwhelming to witness the fuss people made over me on set after we did the first take. All of the crew and other actors were, for lack of a better word, fawning over me and my acting and raining down compliment after compliment. Which I greatly appreciated but, like I said, it was very embarrassing because I wasn't there to "show off" or prove how great of an actor I am or show anybody up. I was there to do what I always do when I work, do the best job I can do and raise the bar even higher for myself for the next project, which I did.
And the compliments didn't stop on set. They continued on Twitter; which was overwhelming as well and even, one week later, when I saw Sam and David, they were still going on about my acting. Well I know that I at least made some new fans.
To conclude, I am very grateful that my first porn film was with this cast and crew. Everyone was so nice and so welcoming. That was one of the things I was nervous about. That I would be treated as an outsider or that the performers or crew would be offended and think I was there to show people up or make a mockery of their work, which I wasn't and I know that they knew that. I was also nervous because I was actually doing what I set out to do; bridge that gap between porn and mainstream. Show that a mainstream actor can be in a porn film. Show that a porn film can be filled with good actors and have a great script and director. I didn't do anything in this film that I haven't done in mainstream but I was also nervous because, yes, the reality is, it was a porno and there may be people that are put off by that and that could shut some doors, I'm not that naive but at the end of the day I'm still happy with my decision to do the film, I'm grateful for the new friends and bonds I made and it actually gave me the porno itch to do more non-sex roles in other films because, as you can see, a porn set is actually just like a mainstream movie set and you can't even say that the only difference is there is real sex being filmed or the occasional naked person walking around because there are mainstream sets where people are walking around naked and some mainstream films that actually have real sex. I do have to say I loved that everyone was comfortable with themselves and each other so that we all changed in front of each other and, just like when I did the show on Playboy TV, no one was a creep or leered at anybody or made anyone feel uncomfortable or showed any disrespect.
 I hope and pray that I get the opportunity to work with Kay Brandt and everyone else on set again. Oh and I have to say, it was funny how obsessed David Lord got with my hair; he loved touching it. In fact, my porn name became Epic Lego Hair.
So thank you once again to all of the cast and crew. You are all amazing and this is going to be one of the best films the industry has seen in a long time and we are going to SWEEP all of the industry awards this year. I'm actually doing everything I can to get nominated for Best Non Sex Role In A Film. 
Oh and since I did do this, and got paid, I'm totally going around calling myself a porn star or at the very least, a working porn actor. ;)

XOXO
