Hang on to your seats people because today is going to be a long entry, full of ups and downs and twists and turns. Lets start at the beginning and work our way through my very synergetic day (i just made that word up.....like it?).
I was originally booked with Naughty America for today with Mariah Milano. Mariah and I met on set a few months ago and had a great conversation, she seemed like a very sweet girl. I would like to say I am shocked that she told Laura that she wouldn't work with me, but of course I am rarely shocked these days. So Laura decided to switch me with Priya Rai, who I had spoken with on the phone a few times in January when she was considered whether or not to go to London. Here is where it gets interesting. Laura called A List Talent, her agency, to tell them about the male talent change. Then Laura asks if I am on Priya's no list. Sandra, the agent, instead of checking Priya's no list to see if I am on it, tells Laura that she is going to CALL Priya personally to ask her about me. Now, lets think about that for a second. If you were a girl in the business, and your agent called you to specifically ask you if you are comfortable working with Christian. Naturally, your first question is.....Well why do you ask? And then I am finished 98 percent of the time. This horseshit system is totally discriminatory, because I am not on the girl's no list, but Laura and A List both then personally question the girl about me specifically. Granted nothing they are saying about me is false, but let's be honest, why single me out like that? The agents don't do that to any other performers. I GUARANTEE you they didn't call Priya to ask if she would work with Marco.
To make matters worse, Sandra gets back on the phone with Laura and tells her that Priya won't work with me, because..........my cock is too big. What the fuck? And Laura just says ok, and cancels me and moves on. I think Sandra and A List must think I am a simpering idiot. Like I can't go to Brazzers.com and see that she has worked with James Deen and Keiran Lee who are both as big or bigger than myself (by the way, Keiran just proposed to Puma Swede....congratulations to them). And then Laura books Marco with her. Um, Marco is the same size or bigger than me as well.
Last, I am going to make a point that you can agree or disagree with. Naughty America is also the owner of Suite 703, which is a gay gonzo internet company. I personally think it's disingenuous to allow girls or boys to discriminate against performers who have done gay porn, when you are making money from gay porn yourself. Does that make any sense? I would love to hear your comments on this statement.
So now I have some free time before my scene for Lethal Hardcore at 2pm. My maid came by to clean up my place, I had to pay my rent for the month, I checked my mail, dropped off my dry cleaning, and went to the tanning booth.
I arrived on set around 2pm for my scene for Stoney Curtis, the owner of Lethal Hardcore. I was shooting an internet scene for a site called Cameltoe Auditions. The girl today was Melanie Jayne, 20 years old, from Minnesota, and has done exactly 5 boy girl scenes before today. She is a pleasant girl, who is really clueless about how the business works, just like every other new girl. The scene had a long lead in with shots of her cameltoe prominently involved. She had a great attitude, and seemed to enjoy her work. The scene was pretty good, even though she was in real pain for most of it. Her vagina was so small and tiny, I could feel every stroke going in and out. I think she might stick around for a while, because she seems to have the temperament that the girls with longevity all have. But only if she can start to handle guys with large cocks.
By the way, Melanie bears an uncanny resemble to Sophia Lynn. So much so that Stoney was actually worried that people were going to think that it actually WAS Sophia Lynn doing the scene under a different name. Lets hope she doesn't turn out to be the trainwreck that Sophia Lynn became.
After my scene, I simply HAD to get a workout. So I headed over to the Spectrum and ran a slow mile in 9:50 and then lifted chest and triceps. I got a great pump and was bursting with excess energy when I left the gym to go pick up my date for the evening, Phoenix Marie. Oh yes, and I ordered some new Puma's that just arrived today......how fucking sweet are these!!!!!
Yes, Phoenix Marie and I were going to attend the XRCO Award Show together. XRCO stands for X-Rated Critics Organization, and they have a small award show each year around this time. It was held at The Highlands nightclub in Hollywood, a great venue for this event. April Storm, Mike Moz, and Monstar were all trying to coordinate the entrance for everyone......now that's a tough job. The line to get in was long and meandering, with many of the girls trying to cut up to the front.
There were a lot of paparazzi taking pictures of the pink carpet, and Phoenix and I went on it for a few shots. I mainly hung out with Manuel Ferrara, who is a good friend of mine. The great thing about these little events is that you get to see people that you haven't seen in a while. I ran into Robert Lombard, who is THE man in the softcore/skinemax industry. He loves the blog, and that really makes me feel good, because he is a very well respected and powerful person in the business. Right before I stepped inside, Jenna Haze appeared in front of me with Jules Jordan. Wow, Jenna is looking better than ever. Say what you will about her, I say she is the best porn star on the planet right now. In a time where many of the top tier of porn girls have a no list a mile long, will only do boy girl, and are absolute diva's in their scenes, Jenna Haze will fuck pretty much anyone and anything and do it with gusto and a smile on her face. Truly, she is at the top of the game right now. I miss being her roadie when she feature dances, that was a fun time.
Once we got inside, it was basically just like any other event, except without the loud music and there were some lights on so that you could actually see the people you were talking to. The "award show" started around 10pm, and we were still mingling. Actually our time at the event was going to be short because Phoenix, being the enigmatic and perplexing girl that she is, was flying to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for 5 days. Work you say? No. A group vacation? No. She was just going on vacation by herself to a place she has never been to and knows no one. Ooooooooookay. :)
Okay lets discuss the people at the event. First of all, nothing picks you up from the doldrums quite like being around your friends and coworkers. Basically everyone in the business told me how much they like my little blog and that they read it all the time. lol. I caught up with many friends including Mark Wood and Francesca Le (and their girlfriend Carolyn Reese), Mr. Pete and Alexis Texas, Tommy Gunn and Ashlynn Brooke (who by the way is a great girl, she is very composed and funny, I like her a lot without even really knowing her. She is a girl that I know I will never work with, and I am fine with that), Natalie Demore (who I am trying to get to do boy girl scenes), D Cypher, Talon, Evan Stone, Mark Davis, Tom Byron, Ben English, Eli Cross (the reigning 2 time director of the year), my hero and mentor Joey Silvera was even there! Oh and for the first time in at least a month, the gorgeous and stunning Lexi Belle! She is so fucking adorable. She was there with Belladonna. Belladonna and I don't know each other very well, but since we are pretty much kindred spirits in what we will and have done on camera, one would think that she would hire me for her own scenes. Strangely, that is not the case....I have never worked for Belladonna in my life, nor has she ever even inquired about using me. What can you do?
I ran into Donnie Cabo, the director who dates Whitney Stevens. We had a great conversation about soccer, he is a really cool dude. My favorite MILF was there, Misty Vonage, she looked absolutely gorgeous! Seriously, so many people told me how much they like my blog and my honesty. But the best compliment and the one that really blew me away came from Dana DeArmond. Dana and I have known each other for a few years, and at times we have had a few minor arguments. But she is an incredibly savvy woman, and she told me that people are now using my blog as their porn wikipedia type reference source. Again, I only tell the truth, whats the point in lying? Thanks Dana for making my evening.
Darla Crane was there tonight. Holy Shit, I am in love with her, she is so stunning. She told me that it's been a while since she has done any boy girl scenes, but she might be persuaded. So I am going to bother her until she says yes to me. :) Wow, she looked good. The famous pornographer and photographer Suze Randall and her daughter Holly Randall were also in attendance. Holly Randall looked absolutely stunning, if I were a civilian, I would really really try to date her, she is that hot and that cool and that sweet and that fun to be around. Just a great girl. Danny Mountain and Eva Angelina were there......he is a huge Man United fan, so my shirt offended him......Perfect!
But let me tell you guys the best thing that happened to me all night. There is a newer girl in the business named Adrenalynn. She is a heavily tatttooed, huge boobed, gorgeous girl from where else but........Texas! As soon as she got into the business, I wanted to meet her. She had only done a handful of scenes when a director tried to book us together...........and suddenly I was the only person on her no list. Very nice. Fuck that sucked actually. She then signed a contract with Digital Playground that she got out of in less than 3 months. Now she is back shooting gonzo again, and this is first time I had actually met her in person. First of all, she surprised me because she doesn't look like a black girl, but she is! And she said that she apologized for the no list thing, and that her first agent told her to do that. We talked about our mutual love for the state of Texas and I really, really, really hope we get to work together in the future. Either way, it made me feel really good that we had the chance to meet and talk for a moment.
We have talked about the people that I don't particularly like in this blog, and of course most of them were there tonight as well. I got a few cold stares.....lol. Kevin Moore, Whitney Stevens, horse face Shy Love, Priya Rai, Puma Swede, Bree Olson to name a few. Whatever, a few d-bags can't spoil my evening! The infamous Michael "pornlaw" Fattorosi was also there. In this business there are many people who prey on the young girls naivete, and take advantage of them to further their own cause. But lets move on! Oh and of course Donny Long was nowhere to be fucking seen. God what a pussy. He is the ultimate keyboard warrior. While the rest of the industry is mingling and being social, he is hunched over his monitor in the dark in his studio/apartment drinking his ass off and typing the incoherent nonsense that he is famous for. I AM DONNY LONG HEAR ME ROAR.....well I will just type the word roar, and probably misspell it at the same time! lol, what a douche.
By 10:45 we bid our adieu's and left the club.....August was actually leaving as well, so we chatted with her. Once we got out of the club, there was no one around..............except Marie Luv!!!!! She evidently was going to make her grand entrance two and a half hours AFTER everyone else. lol. No, I am kidding, she looked fantastic, I love me some Marie Luv.
I dropped Phoenix off at the airport with plenty of time for her to make her flight. By the way, she was going to wear that outfit on the plane. I hope she is sitting next to either a super religious old Mexican woman, a gigantic fat guy, or a horny young 17 year old virgin. :) How many times do you think they will ask her why she is entering Mexico at customs?
So once I dropped her off, it was still 11:15 and I wasn't tired. And you know what was two miles away?
OH YEAH! IT'S TIME TO SHUFFLE UP AND DEAL!!!!!! I was playing the 3-5, 200 max/min buy in game that was going on. I immediately went on a good run the first hour, winning a little more than 300 bucks. By the second hour, I was getting tired and making stupid mistakes, chasing ridiculous hands, and makes some bad calls. My last hand I had A3 of clubs and a couple people just limped in with me. The flop came A diamonds, 6 diamonds, 4 spades. The first dude bet 40 bucks, and everyone else folded, and I just called. The turn came 3 of hearts. Yahtzee! So the dude just checks. I am like fuck this guy, I don't want him to try to get a diamond flush, so I bet 60. He thinks about it for a second....and then calls my 60. The river is a worthless 2 of spades, and I go all in. He immediately calls.............and turns over a 5 of hearts and 4 of diamonds. Yes, thats right, he made a gutshot straight on the river. I cringed, and to his credit he apologized and said he made a terrible read because he thought I was on a diamond flush draw. What can you do? So minus 200 bucks I drove home a loser for the day. lol.
Part of the problem is that you were up front about the issue.There's a hippocracy in this industry that has always been there. I remember running into a male performer in the 90's,1 month ( a legend in the business, not mentioning his name) before he tested positive. He came to my club, knew my family from when they financed a movie he was in long before. He knew I had a few girls who had done a few scenes working at my club, and was trying to hire them to shoot "loops".I felt relieved when the one girl who took him up on it had opted out.Now this guy had seen better days, and was doing a lot of things, apperantly with no testing services, there's no AIM out here.See I myself feel the gay companies such as Falcon are risky because you only have to look at the long lists of dead male performers. But I also see a lot of performers I know who are IV drug users, (my ex wife) and live a totally shit lifestyle far worse than some gay performers I've seen. So if people are going to split hairs then they need to look at the whole picture of risk involved.
