This evening I posted a podcast interview with Gia Jordan from the Erotica LA convention this past June.  You can find the interview on my new Podcast site on libsyn. Comments and suggestions are welcome!

If there is a Gia fan out there who would be kind enough to carefully transcribe the audio interview, it would be greatly appreciated!  I'd like to post a regular text transcript as well on my website.

Anyone out there use Paint Shop Pro? In case you don't know it's a powerful graphics, paint and photo editing package available at a reasonable price. Originally it was published by Jasc, but not too long ago it was purchased by Corel.

I actually use PSP the majority of the time for photo editing. I'm aware that many people use Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, but I always find PSP easier to work with. Almost every photo that I've ever posted here and on my website has been processed with Paint Shop.

A new version of Corel Paint Shop Pro has just hit the streets. It's called Paint Shop Pro XI.  I'm trying out the new version now. The Depth of Field effect is one of the new features that caught my eye. I played around with it this morning for the first time and here's an example of what you can do.  Notice how the distracting chess board on the left is blurred out in second version of this picture featuring Nurse Nadi?  Awesome huh?!

Paint Shop Pro is available now at Amazon.com for $84.99 with a $30 rebate if you also purchase a photo accessory (printer, scanner, memory card, camera bag, printer ink) before 10.31.06. You do not have to purchase the accessory at the same time or at the same place.

Looking for some porn bargains?  Some studios are practically giving away the farm with budget priced multipack sets!  Here's a few I recently spied on one of my favorite online retailers, Adult Video Universe.

Yay fall is here, one of my favorite seasons!
 
This morning, Crow, a long time supporter of the APH forum and AOL chatroom friend was excited to tell me about meeting Charmane Star last night.  Charms was appearing as a feature dancer at the Admiral Theatre in Chicago.  We chatted about it in a public chatroom and he sent me a poloroid picture he took with her.  The transcript from the chat and picture are sort of like a fan field report, so I thought I would post it here.  I always enjoy hearing about fan encounters with their favorite starlets!

In an attempt to generate pre-release buzz, Lionsgate has created a series of sexy posters to promote the upcoming horror movie Saw III. The posters depict sexy nurses and advertise the third annual "Halloween Blood Drive". The blood drive is real and has been successful in the past.

You can view all the posters here:

Sexy Poster #01
Sexy Poster #02
Sexy Poster #03
Sexy Poster #04
Sexy Poster #05 (coming tomorrow)

Seeeeeeee sex sells!  But, on the other hand, this is rather kinky and strikes me as very fetish oriented. These posters sort of disturb me! What do you guys think? Too sexy? Too weird? Do they disturb you?

Playboy model and former Miss USA Shanna Moakler and her ex, former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker filed for divorce on August 8th and apparently took their domestic squabble public what became a MySpace war.

It appears that both parties have now removed most of the personal "fight" blog entries, but both have thanked readers for readers and there are other signs of lingering bitterness, disappointment and anger.

Yesterday Barker wrote on his MySpace:

Quote:

And for music, he selected a song called, "You Can't Bring Me Down".

Shanna wrote on her MySpace in post titled "Bittersweet":

Quote:

On Monday a USA today alleged that Barker accused Moakler of child neglect:

Moakler was alleged to respond as follows:

Just goes to show, celebrities are not much different than rest of us. And IMHO for what it's worth, it's probably not a good idea to post all your sour relationship drama on the web in the hopes of winning in the court of internet opinion. After all, most people on the net are total strangers and really have no idea about your personal life!  What's the point?  Also, you can be sure that if custody issues need to be litigated in court (and it sounds like that is where this case is headed), any kind of bad behavior like this will wind up in front of the mediator and/or judge.  That is not what you want!

For more information read this USA Today article on AOL News:

Barker Takes Nasty Split to Myspace

I recently posted an audio podcast interview I did with APH Lucy Lee at the 2005 AVN AEE show in Vegas.  You can find the interview on my new Podcast site on libsyn.  I'll be posting many more Podcasts in the future, so bookmark that address!

You can visit Lucy's MySpace here.  (Yes it really is her!)

Who would you like me to interview?

P.S. -- if there is a Lucy fan out there who would be kind enough to carefully transcribe the audio interview, it would be greatly appreciated!  I'd like to post a regular transcript as well on my website.

Exciting news guys! This morning I created an account on libsyn and posted my first PODCAST interview! As you guys know, I have quite a large collection of porn star audio interviews here that I just never find the time to transcribe.  It takes hours to create a transcript!  Now that Podcasting has caught on in a big way, it's practical to post the actual audio interviews! At last you guys will be able to hear the starlets (or occasional guy in the industry) respond to my questions in their own voice. Best of all, it's relatively easy and fast for me to post these.

The first Podcast interview I posted is porn legend and raincoater favorite TIFFANY MYNX. Tiffany is often cited as having one of the best asses ever in porn.  This interview was recorded in January 2005 at the conclusion of the first day of the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo at the Venetian Hotel and Casino. You can listen to the interview online using your web browser or download the MP3 file and listen to it at your convenience on your computer, portable music player or car! Tiffany's interview runs about forty minutes. Let me know what you guys think!

P.S. -- I'll be posting many more podcast interviews in the coming months.  Keep an eye on my new Podcast page!

About a week ago I hosted the First Annual Erotica LA Blue Syren Dinner.  It was timed to coincide with the close of the Erotica LA show, which I also attended as a journalist.   I didn't have a booth at this popular trade show, so I thought this would be a fun way to network and promote my new studio and website.  Plus, I thought it would be great to give the fans on the forum a chance to meet some of the girls in a quality setting.

I'm pleased to say the dinner event far exceeded by expectations!  Seven Asian porno hotties attended along with two other directors, guests and members of the SRR message forum.  All in all about 25 people or so participated.  The Asian porn stars that attended were Avena Lee, Charine Lee, Evelyn Lin, Kiwi Ling, Maxi, Mika Tan, and Mimi Miyagi (who is currently running for Governor in Nevada!).  The other directors who attended were Don "Asianman" Fernando and Ivan.  An interesting mystery guest we had was Max Eberle, who is a professional pool player and artist.  It was a great mix of nice people!

We held the dinner in Little Tokyo at the Oiwake Resturant, whose slogan is, "eat, drink, sing and have fun!"  And that just about sums up exactly what we did!  The Oiwake serves good Japanese food at a reasonable price and you can order off the menu or help yourself to a buffet.  In the evening, karaoke is available with over 8000 songs to choose from in several different languages.  Indeed, one of the highlights of the event were the karaoke performances by Mika, Mimi and Charine who sang unforgettable versions of Madonna's Like a Virgin and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.  Forum member Saceur also displayed some impressive dance moves during Secret Agent Man with great back-up from the girls.  Check out this video clip I posted on YouTube here!

At the dinner, in between eating, drinking lots of Sapporo, talking and oogling the girls, I managed to get audio interviews with Evelyn, Kiwi and Maxi.  These will be posted soon on the Asian Porno Hotties interview page.

I think everyone had a blast and I'm looking forward to doing it again next year!  =)

Happy 4th of July!

P.S. -- there's a thread on the discussion board with more photos and comments about the dinner event here.

If you love 80's music and have some free time to kill, click on the link above and take the "80's Lyric Quiz".  I was racking my brain trying to remember some of those songs!  I am sort of disappointed I could not remember some of them.  I hope my memory is not going!  Anyway, I scored 43 ... but my real score was higher.  At the end it took off some points because I was born in the 60's.  That's bogus!  So my real score was 53.

Evelyn Lin is the latest Asian Porno Hottie to join the message forum!  Come join the board and say hi!  Evelyn is a real 18 year old who is a freshman in college.  Don't let her sweet and innocent face fool you -- she's a nasty wildcat in front of the camera!

Do you guys want me to shoot her for Blue Syren?

Here's one uncensored blog site that I am now using!

Check out this sweepstakes site from Samsung!  I really don't know what deal is, but a lot of people seem to be winning stuff!  I won a $50 AMEX gift certificate.  I checked out the domain and it does seem to be legit as best I can tell.  If you win something, please post about it on my message forum here.

That's it for now!

Tomorrow (May 10th), ICANN will be meeting to discuss the adoption of a mandatory .XXX domain for all adult web sites on the Internet.  In case you are unaware, ICANN is the organization that oversees domain policies for the entire Internet. 

Although this issue has been beaten back before, it appears more likely to become a reality this time around, in part due to the underwhelming response of adult webmasters voicing their opposition to the proposal.  In fact, it is believed that the ICM Registry intends to allege adult webmasters are in support .XXX!  Eek! 

This is the time to speak up and keep your .COM from being taken from you.  If .XXX domains become required, it almost certainly will become much harder for adults to find and access our websites.  If  ICANN is concerned about children, a more sensible proposal is the adoption of a "kid-safe" .KIDS domain. 

It is very important to get involved now and let your voice be heard on this issue.  Please send an email to xxx-tld-agreement@icann.org saying  "I oppose the creation of .xxx"  If you wish to go into more details about why you think this is a bad idea, that is fine, but it is not necessary.  E-mail comments will be posted to this forum and presented to ICANN:

Speak up now, before it is too late!

P.S.  Here is the quick e-mail I dashed off to them:

I strongly oppose the creation of a .XXX domain.  I am a webmaster of multiple adult web sites and feel the taking of our .COM names is highly inappropriate.  A more sensible solution (if we are concerned about children) is the creation of a "kid safe" .KIDS domain.  in the meantime, *parents* need to take responsibility for what their children see on the Internet and monitor their activities closely.  They should also be using filtering software and only permit their children to use the Internet within their view.
 
No one is forced to visit my sites.  The only people who view it are those who wish to see the material.  Others who are offended should avert their eyes and click to another site.  The .XXX proposal is a restriction on lawful speech and offensive to the free speech principles in the First Amendment.  Sexually explicit materials should not be relegated to an .XXX ghetto to appease the most conservative members of society.
