There is nothing worse than getting a call time (say 10:30am), knowing you are running a few minutes late, so you hustle to the shoot as fast as you can. Arrive on location at 10:45am or so, and then the director doesn't need you until 1:00pm. Argh! Welcome to my day today! And the worst part about this scenario is that no matter how many times a company gives you a call time and then has you sit around for an hour or three, the one day that you are late, trust me, is the one day the director is running early and you get yelled at or fined (thanks Naughty America). In porn, you don't ever build up time credits (I should call this phenomenom the Brett Brando Corollary). But I didn't mind being on set all day today, because I was working with Abbey Brooks! I first met Abbey when she was brand new and still only doing girl/girl scenes. Honestly, does anyone in the business have a prettier face than her? I say no. This was actually the first time we had worked together, which is strange but true.
We were working for Porn.com and Abbey had a long day today. She was doing 4 still and video sets, which were a solo, a blowjob, a solo with toys, and a boy/girl. Long but lucrative (lol). Since the day was so long I took the opportunity to snap a bunch of pictures of the gorgeous Abbey. I got her in all kinds of outfits, smoking outside, messing with her luggage that evidently a cyclone hit recently, showing me her baseball cap that cost 80 bucks (that's crazy), and giving me the bird for taking so many pictures of her. Both of the scenes with me turned out fantastic, she really likes having sex and gets INTO the scene. Today was a fantastic day!
During the shoot, the UCLA - Xavier game had started. Remember people, I had bet 618 dollars to win 562 dollars that the total number of points both teams score would be OVER 130. So I was constantly refreshing my web browser on my Treo. And when Xavier made two free throws with 58 seconds left in the game, the score was UCLA 73 - Xavier 57 (130 exactly...a push). And then GOLD BABY, GOLD! Chace Stanback, a little used freshman who had scored 43 points all season, NAILS A THREE POINTER WITH 30 SECONDS LEFT IN THE GAME. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! I need to go to the UCLA campus after the tournament, find that dude, and give him some free porn DVD's or something. lol. As a matter of fact, lets all myspace him and thank him personally.

After the scene, it was already 6:30pm, but I promised Cynthia (my ex-girlfriend who is also going to do the Ironman with me) that I would cycle 3 hours and run 30 minutes. So I drove straight to the gym and hopped on the bike. It was easy to cycle because the North Carolina - Louisville game was on. I rode for an hour and 45 minutes, but then Derek called. He had been moving his office all day, and wanted to meet up for a later dinner and drinks at Firefly, a trendy restaurant/lounge in Studio City. Derek called Brandy Talore and Demi Delia to meet us there as well. I hopped off the cycle and headed down to Derek's place (sorry Cynthia!). I needed to take a shower (obviously) and so I hopped into his. While finishing my shower, I noticed some curious items next to his bathtub (lol). Just because someone is a multimillionaire and one of the most powerful people in the adult industry.....doesn't mean you can't have not one but TWO rubber duckies for your bathwater. After getting ready to go, I noticed Harmony Rose on the couch looking elegant and glamorous as usual on this fine Saturday night. Nice Naughty America shirt though. Stay classy Harmony!
Brandy Talore and I have a pretty crappy scene history together. She has been in the business for about a year longer than I have (6 years total) and we first worked together in a boy boy girl scene for Pulse Pictures about 3 years ago. It was a good scene, and I didn't really think anything of it. Then Joe at AMA Content called me about 2 years ago and wanted to fly me to Brandy's hometown in Ohio to shoot a few scenes with her for a website he was building. I said sure and off I went. Well, when I got to small town Ohio, I realized a few things about Brandy that I didn't know. These facts totally freaked me out, and my mental image was ruined. Now I was just frustrated because I really liked Brandy (who doesn't, she is smoking hot). I allowed that frustration to affect my scene, and I bombed completely. Couldn't do the scene at all. So we decided to wait a day and try again at the hotel. The next day was the same as the first, I was a total Mr. Limpy. I wanted to cry. I couldn't get past the loss of my mental image of Brandy. To be fair, she isn't the most, how shall I say....accomodating of girls during a scene, but this time it was totally my fault. So I had to reimburse Joe my airfare and I flew home with my tail between my legs.
Soon after, Brandy came back to LA to work. We were booked again for Adam and Eve and my good friend David Lord (forgot about that...lol) and the scene again was absolutely brutal. I was hard this time, but then we started fighting and arguing about stupid stuff in the scene, and it was totally not fun. Christian, welcome to the Brandy Talore no list! Now, I told you guys recently that I am a person with a lot of pride, and when my ego got bruised, I reacted poorly. I told a director some things about Brandy and her performances that I shouldn't have said. She has been gone from the business for the past year and a half, but now she is back and ready to work. I guess Brazzers is shooting her non-stop recently, so look out for a bunch of new Brandy Talore scenes soon. She worked with Derick Pierce the other day, and he asked me about her, and I gave my honest assessment of our struggles and what she was like. Well of course, Derick Pierce tells her every word that I said to him about her, and so now I look like a total and complete dipshit. Thanks a lot Derick.
What sucks about this whole situation is that I am really, really attracted to Brandy. She is actually a very intelligent person, who doesn't do drugs or party, is very stable financially and emotionally, she is a lot like Harmony Rose (far and away the greatest porn star ever - she works all the time, doesn't bullshit people with ridiculous lies and stories, saves and invests her money, and everyone likes her). I get along very, very well with Brandy, which makes it all the more stupid that I would react and say the things I said about her. I apologized profusely to her at dinner tonight, but that doesn't cut it. I will never be able to undo the stupidity of my actions and that fucking sucks!
Dinner was actually pretty damn tasty! I had the steak tartare like I always get from here, and we shared the Hen Breast between us. Then for dessert, I had a fantastic lemon tart. Great food, great company, and I still had my size 15 foot in my mouth as we left the restaurant. Said our goodbyes, and I headed for home.
On the way home, I got drunk dialed by both my friend Krystal in Dallas, and my old and dear friend, Jamie in San Antonio. I am going to be in SA next weekend, so I wanted to see if I could come over and see her two children, Hailey and Riley. Jamie and I got way back. We used to be neighbors when I lived in some apartments not far from Six Flags Fiesta Texas, where Jamie and her roommates worked as singers. This was in 1999, and we have been friends ever since. She got married a few years ago and recently gave birth to a baby girl. I hope to see her and her family at least for a minute or two when I go home. Jamie is the greatest Karaoke singer I have ever known, I used to go with her to contests sometimes where she would win like 100 bucks or so, meanwhile I was searching for the easiest slut in the bar to try to bang. It was fun times back then.
Okay, gotta get some rest for tomorrow. Doing the same type of scene as today, but instead of Abbey Brooks....its my porno girlfriend Roxy Deville! Good times!
