Last night, Retardo the Wonderfuck and I went to a beauty pageant for hairy muscle bears at a sleazy leather bar. It was the finals of the SOMA Bare Chest Calendar Contest. The winners get to have their picture on a month of the 2006 calendar and get the privilege of traveling around to street fairs to sign autographs and get groped by other horny guys. Not a bad gig. Oh, and they also have to promise to sell 50 copies of the calendar to help raise money for AIDS Emergency Fund. I shot 300 pictures of the contest and put them in the VIP Room at Lavender Lounge. No, the guys are not gay porn star material, so don't be cruel. They are REAL men that not only have to look good, but they have to be presentable at numerous public events and help with fundraising throughout the year. I looked through the Bare Chest Calendar website today for he first time. I was surprized how many local guys I recognized from just hanging around the City and going the Sunday beer bust at the Eagle! I never really paid much attention to the calendars in the past, but some of them were so familiar, those images are etched into my brain. The Bare Chest guys will also be in Palm Springs next week for the Bad Boys Pool Party. Check back here at for my photos!

Gay Dreams 2 San Francisco Nights Brendan Austen, Damien Drake, Shane Rollins, Tag Adams, Sean Storm, Jay Black, Abram Rodriguez, Ryven, Robert Marks, Andy Dill & Michael Brandon Directed by Chris Ward Studio: Raging Stallion Reviewed by Jamez L. Smith Where have all the big, beautiful, cocks gone? To Raging Stallion, apparently. Though somewhat loathe to admit it, I am a bit of a size queen. No one would deny that big is beautiful (except maybe my first lover), and proportion cannot at all be discounted but, my goodness, have I digressed! Scene 1 of Gay Dreams 2 San Francisco Nights opens with the blessing of Sister Porn Again, as Michael Brandon and Damien Drake passionately make-out before her visage. It is a beautiful setting, accented nicely with minimalist music. The camera angles are exquisite: Damien is purely gorgeous from his luscious lashes to his manicured nails to his Adonis-like body. Michael is handsomely erotic. The cinematography is amazing. Its like being in the room with them, as Michael sucks on Damiens lovely cock. Michael has a beautiful cock of his own, and Damien works it well. Not even through the first scene, and its already one of the best porn films Ive ever seen. The lighting is gorgeous. Michael is gorgeous. Damien is gorgeous. Its fucking gorgeous! I want a still of the shot of Damien sucking on Michaels monster-cock as Michael fingers Damiens beautiful ass. Michaels condom covered cock, glistening against the dark background, sliding into Damiens luscious crack is artistic captured, as Michael fucks Damiens ass like a pro. Michael is dead sexy as he dances in and out to Damiens obvious delight. This sex is no joke. I love it when and man fucks me like that, and from the notes hits, Damien loves it, too. Whew! I need a break. As a transition into the next scene, Michael is taking his Australian pig boy on a tour of San Francisco. Once again, the Cinematographer stands out. The vignette is so beautifully shot that it makes me homesick for San Francisco and I live here! Horny from his long flight, Brendan Austen strips down as soon as he arrives at his accommodations (much like I would!). Another beautiful man, pig boy smolders as he works his nips on a black leather couch. His cock has a gorgeous purple head. I cant get over how amazing the camera work is. Really nice shot of his nutsack. A slight scene change finds Brendan hooking up with Tag Adams. Every guy in this film is hot, without exception. I can almost feel Brendan massage his groin along my ass. Tag does some wonderful tongue work on Brendans foreskin, working up a sweat, sucking cock to the hilt. Moist and Meaty. Its hard to tell which Tag likes most, sucking or getting fucked that is, until he starts groaning and grunt as Brendan pounds his butt. As if this were not enough, the duo is joined by cover boy Shane Rollins. Instant crush! Marry Me. The three of them together its too much. I need another break. Scene 3 is on fire from the start. Jay Black is up on a rooftop stretching and gyrating his beautiful body, when he is attacked from behind by Sean Storm. Sexy! The two men are animalistic in their passions for each other. Its almost unbearable to watch, as the hiss and growl and moan and groan, devouring one another. "It gets bigger, baby." Jay eats ass like hes drilling for oil. Super Sexy. The scene is simply beautiful. Even my straight brother, who stopped by as I reviewing the film said, "That does look good". And the cum shot can only be described as delicious. The final scene has our Aussie pig boy wanking off to the apparent memory of a art gallery orgy featuring himself, Ryven, Robert Marks, Andy Dill, Abram Rodriguez and Sean Storm. Do I have to spell it out? Its consistently hot. Consistently well filmed and directed. If I had a say, my pick for best porn film of 2004/2005 would be Gay Dreams 2 San Francisco Nights. Available online at MaleFlixxx.tv or order the DVD direct from Raging Stallion.

Well, in the world of streaming video gay porn sites, it's the battle of the brands.

I know, it's a couple years old already, but I stumbled upon a 2003 Falcon movie called "Aftershock Part One" and "Aftershock Part Two". It stars a cast of thousands and it's directed by Chi Chi LaRue. Falcon's Mustang line is set aside for the rougher type movies with leather chaps, harnesses, slings, and 5 day beards. The bathing suits and swimming pools are for Jocks and main Falcon lines. (I jsut learned this after getting chewed out about the difference between Colt and Buckshot...) I have two free video clips from the movie, plus the actual Falcon-produced trailer from Aftershock Pt. 1. Be sure to watch the clip from Part One to see cute little Jeremy Jordan pee his pants! I'm not kidding! Blond, slutty twink Jeremy Jordan is in a public bathroom and gets forced to pee his pants by Jason Hawke. I'm sure it was Chi Chi's idea - she is twisted! One thing I love about Jeremy Jordan is that he can look sweet and piggy at the same time - and you know he's enjoying every minute of it. Click to see the official movie trailer from Mustang/Falcon's Aftershock Pt. 1, or join FalconStudios.com to see a whole selection of Falcon/Mustang/Jocks movie trailers and porn star audition videos from the "Alone With" series.

On Thursday I had the pleasure of doing a photo session with Jacob Slader. He was in town shooting a movie for Raging Stallion, and I was somehow able to hook up with him. Jacob Slader was an absolute delight to work with! Unlike many gay porn "stars", Jacob is very professional and quite brilliant. He teaches English Literature at a university in Southern California, and he's doing gay porn in order to pay for grad school to get his PhD. As far as I know, I can't think of any gay porn stars with a doctorate, but I know of three female pornstars that call themselves "Dr.": Carol Queen, Sharon Mitchell, and Annie Sprinkle. (If there are other post-graduate porn stars, please let me know.) We started with glamour shots in the studio and I got to dress him up in a couple little outfits like a Barbie doll. He likes the skater-punk look; very casual and real - no spandex. He looked great in low-slung jeans with his giant belt buckle that says, "Fuck". Then switched to board shorts and Hawaiian shirt, but not for long. His dick was oozing pre-cum in no time, so we went right for the money shot. From there, I got some of the best shots in the shower, the hot tub and finally among the greenery in the backyard. Before wrapping up, I interviewed him on video about his porn name and his tattoos. More about that later when I get the video ready for viewing. In the meantime, enjoy the sample photos, but you can see the entire session of 509 outstanding photos in the VIP Room of Lavender Lounge. Jacob Slader's homepage, and blog, and movies.

Holy Butcher of Bagdad, Batman! Have you seen Raging Stallion's new gay pornstar discovery, Huessein? Buffed, hairy and hot as Tikrit in August, they've got a winner here! As they say on the Raging Stallion website, "Not since the time of the legendary BRUNO has a man so stunning appeared in Gay Porn. Huessein, who will also be featured in JD Slater's Centurion Muscle (to be released on Memorial Day 2005), is a bodybuilder (duh!) who lives in Germany, but he gets his hairy good looks from his Turkish background." I can certainly see the similarity of Huessein and Bruno, and by the way, Bruno is still looking pretty good - if only someone could coax him out of retirement. Huessein, though, is making his debut in Raging Stallion's Studs. The photo of Huessein was no doubt shot deep in the Raging Stallion spider hole.

Wow, I just checked out Raging Stallion's website and they have a ton of great movies coming out - Passport to Paradise, Hairy Boyz 3, The Shaft, and Studs, just to mention a few. More about those gay porn movies below, but I wanted to point out a re-release of an old movie that Chris Ward and the gang at Raging Stallion somehow got ahold of. Measuring Up was one of director Chris Ward's favorite movies long before he started making his own films. It is a five scene blow out featuring Chris Champion, Mike Nichols, Rick Drake, Kevin Dean, Robert Harris, Mike Lamas, and ever popular Eric Evans in one of his finest early performances! Measuring Up was filmed in 1994 and was one of the top films of that year. The quality of the production is superb--the entire movie looks like it was shot today. The reason for this is that this movie was directed by Marc Frederics, one of the industry's most talented film makers. And if you have been following the Michael Jackson scandal on television, Frederics is the so called "Gay Pornographer" often mentioned in the case! This certainly is a very timely release!!!! Frederics went on to direct many Matt Sterling movies, and Measuring Up looks exactly like a film from that great studio. We've been hearing about this Marc Frederics character for a long time in connection with Michael Jackson, but this is the first time I've actually seen his name mentioned connected to a gay porn movie. It was Marc Frederics who directed Michael's big circus at Madison Square Garden. You remember that show - where they had to use special effects on the video because Whitney Houston looked too much like a scarecrow! And for the final scene of the Martin Brashear documentary, Michael insisted that Marc Fredericks set up the lighting to hide his spooky facial reconstruction. Let's hope he didn't use that same lighting on Kevin Dean's monster cock in Measuring Up. But back to Raging Stallion's more current movies, while chatting with Chris Ward at the GayVN Awards, he gave me tip that Passport to Paradise is going to be their big movie of the year. "It's the kind of movie that I got into this business to make," Ward said. Haven't received my copy yet, but it's been compared to Kristen Bjorn and Bel Ami type movies - but with Raging Stallion's type of guys. Passport to Paradise stars Raging Stallion's Man of the Year 2005, Miguel Leonn (Bone Island, Thick as Thieves, Wet Dreams, Stoked), in the greatest performance of his life, Passport features an all-Latin cast (with the exception of the blond all-American Pete Ross, of course!) in a movie that will be forever listed as one of the finest films of 2005. Raging Stallion exclusives Ivan Andros (Agony of Ecstasy, Crossroads of Desire, Dreamers, Isle of Men, Bone Island, The Shaft), Carlos Morales (World of Men, Nexus, Fire in the Hole), Enrico Vega (Stick it In), and Manuel Torres (Stoked), as well as superstud Mario Cruz, and Cadinot superstar Gerald round out the cast.

I got an email last week from Michael Lucas of Lucas Entertainment expressing his dismay about not being nominated for anything at the upcoming Grabby Awards. He also took the opportunity to air his opinions about a few other people in the industry he dislikes. Sour grapes? You bet. But this is the stuff gossip columnists salivate over! The gay porn industry as well as the entire mainstream entertainment industry is built on the notion that we should all kiss each other's ass to get ahead. When someone speaks their mind and publicly humiliates other people, it's almost always career suicide. I, myself, have stuck my foot in my mouth by pure accident so many times that I can still taste the toejam. There was a time when I had no fear of pissing people off, but by now, I don't have the chutzpa nor the patience to suffer the consequences, even if I feel my case is justified. Michael Lucas, however, has no fear of anyone. He is setting himself up as "the outsider" of the industry. He's already using the company slogan "New York's Best Defense Against Bad Porn". He's had an ongoing battle with David Forest for two years that came completely out of no where - a Dangerous Liaison if I ever saw one! I predict over the next few years he will use that reputation as the outspoken/bad boy/rebel to his advantage like Larry Flynt did against Playboy. However, around 1997-1998, Chip Daniels from Centaur Films also raised a public stink because he felt HIS movies were not getting enough nominations at the Gay Erotic Video Awards (the predecessor to the GayVN Awards). Since then, you barely hear anything about Centaur. Whether Daniels' outspokeness hurt his career, I don't know, but the analogy can't be ignored. In the meantime, the folks at Lucas Entertainment have been buzzing for months about the release of Dangerous Liaisons, starring Bruce Beckham, Owen Hawk, J., Wilfried Knight, Kent Larson, Michael Lucas, Gus Mattox, and Mario Ortiz. I found a little video clip from Dangerous Liaisons with Michael Lucas fucking the adorable Owen Hawk. Take a look, then join the site. Watch Trailer from Dangerous Liaisons. Join Lucas Entertainment Gossip Columnist JC Adams had this to say about the Michael Lucas situation, but click CONTINUE to see the exact text of Michael Lucas's statement. Earlier in the week, performer/director Michael Lucas slammed the "Gay Chicago Magazine" Grabby Awards in a widely circulated email diatribe. The Grabby nominations were recently announced and Mr. Lucas nor any of his films were cited. "Even though the prestigious GAYVN awards acknowledged my company with eleven nods for the movies LOST and AUDITIONS, the Grabbys have decided to exclude me, and gave me no nominations at all," he wrote. "This has happened consistently... all because of a speech I gave years ago during one of their events." The speech to which Mr. Lucas refers occurred several years back when agent David Forest won Best Non-Sex Role for his appearance in BRAD'S BUDDIES (Forest Films/Pacific Sun). Mr. Lucas took the stage soon after and denounced Mr. Forest for his transgressions. The resulting contretemps was the talk of the industry for weeks. Mr. Lucas goes on to note in his email that since that speech, "I have been banned by the Grabbys. What kind of message are they sending by ignoring the biggest and most celebrated East Coast production company? What is their real legacy? What is their real value?" He goes on to disparage the show and Mr. Forest for several additional paragraphs, one of which includes the line, "As you can imagine, I don't really give a flying fuck that I was not nominated." Oh, of course you do, Michael Lucas. But props to you for speaking your mind. Incidentally, at the GAYVN Awards in March, when Mr. Lucas picked up the Best Pro/Am Release trophy for his AUDITIONS VOL. ONE, he jokingly compared himself to Jesus Christ. Yes, that Jesus Christ. "We're both thirty-three years old," he told the bemused crowd, "and there are lots of people in this room who would like to crucify me!" As for David Forest, as one can imagine, he was not amused by this latest public slam. But he's a big boy, he's taken his lumps before and he knows how to dish it back just as effectively. I spoke to "Gay Chicago Magazine" founder and publisher Big Daddy Ferguson about Mr. Lucas' email. He was sanguine about it. "Lucas Entertainment stopped sending review copies of its new product about a year and a half ago...," he told me. "If you don't send product for review, how in the world would you expect that you could be in line for nominations?" And I am told it's not entirely true that Michael Lucas has been banned from the Grabbys. He could still attend the show if he so desired. Says Big Daddy, "This all stems back to his public display [when] used his time on stage to [denounce] David Forest. Michael was not well-received by the crowd, along with the show producer, who told him his remarks were out of bounds and he would not be invited back as a presenter in the future." Further, "Michael Lucas has produced some really great videos and has been honored at the Grabbys before he was even recognized at the GAYVNs. His product is still welcome and will be considered on its merits for nominations. It's about the quality of the product not the politics of the producers." Michael Lucas Movies at $14.95 for 7 days or $3.95 for 17 minutes..

I'm going to have to join RandyBlue.com! I added a bunch of little short clips to the Lavender Lounge VIP Room today, and just by watching the little clips, it's starting to sound like a soap opera. Randy Blue seems to have a knack for finding gorgeous straight guys on the street and convincing them to be photographed for his gay porn site. And when I say "on the street", he literally does make guys pull over after spotting them at traffic lights! I've had my eye on this one straight blonde guy named Matt who did a couple solo scenes. With this new update, I noticed that Randy Blue has somehow paired him up with another beautiful breeder to do a fuck scene together. Check out this video clip of two straight guys that both want to be the top. And then there's the gay guy Sebastian who started out as a big fan of Randy Blue's website and decided he wanted to model. After doing his solo scene, Randy asked him, "who's your favorite model on the site?" He chose a delectable straighty named Peter and gave him his first boy-on-boy blowjob. Hot! I better just join the damn website so I can see these stories unfold full length! FREE Randy Blue Video clips in Lavender Lounge VIP Room - Join Randy Blue
