A Crazy July!

Yep, 22 shoots this month, which should explain why I have not been posting here. There was actually supposed to be a few more shoots but some got cancelled along the way due to missed flights and other dramas...and unfortunately, there was some that I really, really wish had not happened, such as:

1. I booked a girl for www.fuckedandbound.com that I have wanted to book for about 4 years now. When I was at CNE we were not allowed to pay her rates (although they do now). She's beautiful, tough, sexy, does anal, etc so I book her and am really excited. She shows up with new tits, now they're nice and all but these new tits mean she can't do any tit slapping, flogging, etc and basically, all in all her pain and bondage tolerance are way down. I still got a good update out of it but to people that know this girl, when they see the video will be disappointed.

2. A girl was booked for both CB and F&B. After missing her flight (saying the plane took off early...lie #1) we cancel the CB and plan for the F&B the next day. At 11am in the lobby of the hotel she is not there. My PA is calling her room, knocking on her door, etc and finally she wakes up saying her alarm did not go off and the wake up call did not ring (lies #2 and #3). We get her to the studio where we find out she is super flexible which is good news. She can't take shit though, this is the bad news. We manage a couple of lame BJ positions before spreading her on the bed to get fucked. I go in for the close ups of the penetration and BAM.....genital warts.....and the guys dick is already inside her. IBy the time I saw them it was too late but she told the male talent before the shoot that they were just "skin flaps" (lie #4), and then when I e-mailed a picture of her cunt to her agent she said she knew nothing about them (lie #5) and burst into tears. I don't know what I am going to do with this shoot, it's probably not at all usable but it still cost me $3000.

3. A new girl applied with a hot body but a gothic clook for CB. I book her with Audrey and ask her not to goth up for the shoot. She shows up slightly gothy but not too bad. The body that looked goood in pictures is not so goood in the flesh. We start shooting. She can't take even the lightest taps with the dear skin flogger and she cannot act. Fine, so we decide to make the scene sexual and do foot worship. Less than 2 inches of toe in her mouth and she's spitting every five seconds. I have her in the loosest boxtie/frogtie I have ever rigged and she is making like she can't move. I end the shoot half way in. Pay her 2/3 her fee and have to pay Audrey full fee for a shoot I doubt can even be a bonus.

Guess you can't win them all, and every producer has bad shoots from time to time but this many in one month was a bit dis-heartening for me.

What else would you like to know?

Ugh, just finished filling out an application form for Banc of America Investment Services so I can start trading stocks, etc in the US (have been doing it on the ASX for over a decade) and I have to say, about half way through I am swearing my ass off. Firstly, there is a question asking if I am a US citizen, no I am not...and apparently this means I am not allowed to apply online. Um, excuse me. I am a legal resident. I have a SSN, and I have many bank accounts with BoA including my mortgage so you have all my ID, etc and now I have to waste my fucking time coming in because I am not a citizen...okay, moving on. Now, you want to know my employment information...um, no. I am trying to fund an account to invest my money...not borrow money, not try to get a credit card so I put unemployed with no income and try to move on, nope not allowed, apparently I have to have an income...so I put $1 LOL! But then a new field is generated asking me why I don't have a job, etc...um because I don't want one, need one, whatever, again, none of your fucking business. You alreadyy have my SSN and you can access my credit score (which is high) if needed but why should you need it to let me spend my own money. For fucks sake.

5 Years and Counting!

Yesterday was my 5 year anniversary with Marty. Our relationship has been through so many upsa and downs, most of which wer3e beyond our control that we actually have 4 anniversary's (the 1st wedding, the engagement, the second wedding and the first time we fucked) but this is the one we celebrate, and if you're wondering, this is the fucking one! It seems fitting that it;s the one we choose to celebrate seeing as from that first night on we have been pretty inseperable...and it's been 5 YEARS...WOW! That is huge to me, I have never been with any one person for this long, and the even more amazing part is that I still love him. I always thought that couples were just tolerating each other after a long time (well that is true too I suppose).

So, we both took the day off work and had a nice day together. We got up and drove down to Half Moon Bay in the mini (oh, Marty got a new car last month, a very cool mini cooper sport) and had breakfast at the 3 zero cafe. This place is at the Half Moon Bay airfield and does not look like much but the breakfasts are awesome. I had the fruit parfait, and the pilots plate which is delicious (scrambled eggs with mushrooms, garlic, sausage and artichoke hearts).

Then we continued our roadtrip down to Santa Cruz to the Boardwalk amusement park. The sun was out and we had a really good time. Marty asked me if all of the screaming kids running around was acting as birth control LOL, I told him no it wasn't, but that the cat we're minding at a house right now certainly was. After 5 years he knows I am getting a bit like "so, are we having kids or not, and if so, when?". The fact is, the thing that keeps me not pregnant is my deep rooted fear of pregnancy. I want the kids, I just don't want to be pregnant to have them.

So, at the Boardwalk we went on plenty of rides, and playes tonnes of skee bal...I love skee ball, it is my favorite thing to do at an arcade. After winning lots of tickets I find a chold and give them to them so they get themselves a better prize.

We took the scenic drive home up the 1 and then chilled out here for a while before going to a nice little Italian restaurant in Hayes Valley. It's opposite Absinthe which is where we had our first date and Marty has been wanting to take me there for 5 years but it's a family run place that always seems to be closed, but it was open so we went and it was awesome...I LOVE a good caprese and for $7 the mozzarella was much better than I expected. Lasagna was pretty great too!

So, that was my day! Let's see if we can do another 5 years!

Fucking Funny!

So, this coming Friday Audrey Leigh is doing a couple of shoots for Chanta's Bitches and has a really early call time. She drives from over 80 miles away so to stop her from having to get up super early I offered that she could stay at the Twisted Factory, this was her response:

"Stay at the factory? Damn youre trippin!!! So you can come in the next morning to see my slaughtered body hanging from a pussy hook?"

Funny huh! I guess the Factory is actually scary and intimidating...just as I wanted it to be!

Take care,

AIM is a fucking joke

To those that do not know AIM stands for Adult Industry Medical, it is what we use in the adult industry to test performers for HIV, chlamydia and gonorrhea. It is a necessity in the work that I both perform in and direct for both myself and all of my talent and that I truely appreciate but it's incompetence in so many other ways; billing, booking tests online, etc and charging producers to be able to view talents test results (yes, the tests that talent has already paid $120 for) just drives me insane.

I run a small company and book several AIM tests for talent...is it that difficult that when you send the receipt, or the e-mail saying the lab is ready for the patient now to include the name of the patient...I mean, in booking the test you have wanted to know all kinds of things like ID expiration dates and ethnicity which to be blunt is none of your fucking business but you can't even send an e-mail receipt to the correct e-mail address (you know, the billing one, not the patient one).

I just hope their website and billing incompetence is not reflective of their HIV testing capabilities.

Jetlagged Birds?

Strange how you notice something that just does not seem right...for 2 nights in a row, when it is pitch black outside and around midnight or later there have been 2 birds in my back garden wide awake and chirping away as if it were the middle of the day in Spring. It really threw me off. I usually go to bed and I can hear some traffic in the distance, maybe a drunk on the street singing, etc but birds chirping is what I hear when I wake up in the morning...not at midnight. Totally bizarre. I figured they must be jetlagged!
