It was a good Pride week this year in San Francisco. Unfortunately, I was distracted by trying to save my porno producing ass in time to escape the wrath of the Department of Justice AND remodel an income property all at the same time. It seems I am not allowed to have a relaxing, worry-free party week without something to shake me into reality. This time it's either jail or bankruptcy, whichever comes first. I helped collect money at the gates for Pink Saturday this year. (Pink Saturday is a street party the night before Pride held right in the heart of Castro.) It's the Sister's biggest fundraising event of the year. The event grossed $67,000 which will be disbursed later in the year to charitable organizations that apply for grants. It's a big increase over last year, and only a few years ago the event only broke even. I didn't take any pictures at Pink Saturday because I wanted save up my energy for shooting the next day. We slept in on Sunday. Ah! For once I didn't have to be anywhere or be responsible for doing anything! It was Retardo The Wonderfuck's first gay pride in San Francisco, so it was a big treat for him. Unfortunately, he lollygaggled around so much that by the time we got downtown there was only about 20 minute of parade left. We walked to the Civic Center, and as usual, the Faerie Village was the best chill-spot. We hung out there, then went to an invitation-only party at the City Hall Rotunda. (Who could pass up free drinks.) As the celebration was winding down, we headed for the Phoenix Hotel for Juanita More's after party. It urned out to be the best spot for cruising the cutest guys in town. Saki and Flora had the fore-thought to bring bathing suits to take a little dip in the pool - in their makeup! With a late start, we stayed out much later than I am used to on Parade day. It's Monday afternoon, and there are probably somebody STILL out there keeping the party going. Photos from San Francisco Pride are available in the VIP Room at Lavender Lounge.

Last night was a fundraiser for Stop AIDS Project sponsored by local porn store The Gulch that featured "boys" from Bel Ami and "men" from COLT Studio. The second annual "Boys To Men" was a virtual who's-who of local porn celebrities and visitors in town for Pride. I shot over 400 photos last night which are available to members of the VIP Room at Lavender Lounge. My head is still spinning a bit, but here is the list of gay porn stars in attendance, as best I can recall... Carlo Masi, Chris Wide, Yves Carradine, Julian Armanis were the featured porn stars, but Falcon Exclusives Matthew Rush, Dean Monroe, Philippo Romano, Raging Stallion's Taurus, and a couple of new porn stars who's names escape me. COLT took this oportunity to announce two new exclusive models, Gage Weston and Luke Garrett. Aren't they adorable? Apparently, they are a couple in real life, and it looks like they have violated Rule #1 and Rule #7 of relationships. Rule #1 of relationships clearly states in no uncertain terms THOU SHALT NOT DRESS ALIKE. Rule #7 also states, THOU SHALT NOT DRESS ALIKE. (It is such an important rule that it needs to be repeated.) One of the highlights of the evening was when they brought up the COLT models on stage, had them drop their pants, then took bids on the oportunity to lick their asses! Veteran porn photographer Mick Hicks donated $500 to Stop AIDS for the chance to lick that lovely wall of perfectly formed buttocks. A civilian porn fan won the bid to lick the booties of the boys from Bel Ami. Even legendary Johan Paulik bared his behind for charity despite being on crutches with a broken foot. (He fell off a dirt bike. How butch.) We don't get many porn related events in San Francisco. It's probably because we have so many porn stars walking around every day, but when we do, it's always great fun. Enjoy it while it lasts - you never know what's coming next from the Department of Justice! There are 400 photos from the event that have been added to the VIP Room at Lavender Lounge. Visit COLTStudios.com and BelAmiOnline.com for more about the studios.

I've been promoting the Falcon Studios website pretty heavily the past few months, and its really starting to pay off. I've brought them so many new members that, according to them, I am supposedly now one of their biggest affiliates. The new members are renewing every month, so they seem to be happy with their purchases. If you've never signed up for a membership, or you haven't visited FalconStudios.com in a long time, I think it's worth a second look right now. For while last year there were some technical problems with the site, particularly for Mac users. As a Mac-only operation, it was frustrating that the photo galleries didn't always load, but it's suddenly much more stable. No site owner will admit to technical problems, even if they are already corrected, but as as outsider, I can tell you they have made some big improvements to the backend. I can now see every photo gallery without fail, and there's no disputing the overall quality of the photos once they load. As a further enticement to join, Falcon has moved the content from Josh Weston's website and Matthew Rush's website into the main FalconStudios.com. One membership will get you access to everything including live shows from Falcon's hottest exclusives, Josh Weston and Matthew Rush. And speaking of which, my future ex-husband, Josh Weston, with be doing a live show on Saturday, June 25th at 6pm Pacific Time. Don't miss it! And if that isn't enough to get your credit card out of your wallet, Falcon is temporarily going to knock five bucks off the membership fee! If you are still too timid to spend the money, Lavender Lounge offers a little free sample gallery that changes every week or so. Go ahead, treat yourself. Click the link, join the site and marvel at Josh's sweet ass.

CHAD HUNT RETURNS TO PORN AFTER A YEAR-LONG HAITUS; SIGNS EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT WITH LUCAS ENTERTAINMENT (JUNE, 2005) NEW YORK, NY - Six-time GAYVN award winning porn sensation Chad Hunt is returning to the business after a yearlong hiatus. Hunt, who lives in New York City, signed a two-year exclusive contract with Lucas Entertainment. Part of the deal includes his directorial debut by the end of 2007. His first appearance is scheduled to be filmed this July, in the upcoming “Fire Island Cruising 7,” the latest installment of Michael Lucas’ best-selling series. “This is a nice full circle,” said Michael Lucas, president and CEO of Lucas Entertainment. “Chad’s first scene ever was in ‘Fire Island Cruising Part One. ’ We’re absolutely ecstatic to have him back on board. He has a large and loyal fan base, and we owe a part of our success as a company to him,” says Lucas. In an industry where models have the shelf-life of a milk carton, Hunt has been somewhat of a phenomenon. Although he’s appeared in many movies, his appeal seems to only grow stronger and wider with time. “The thing about Chad is, no matter how many movies he does, audiences are always mystified by him,” says Lucas. “They want to see whether his partners are able to take the largest dick in the industry.” But it’s not just a matter of size. According to Lucas, Hunt is a pleasure to work with. “He’s smart, articulate and attitude free,” says Lucas, “and that’s refreshing.” Hunt says he shopped around for months before deciding on Lucas Entertainment. “I’m excited to do porn again, and anxious to be working with Michael who I think is the best in the industry,” says Hunt. “Lucas Entertainment produces the highest quality films in the world. And they have the most professional and fun team of people.”

My friend Jimmy sent me this item because he loves to read between the lines in gossip items. But what is really going on here? The parents of a young actor holds up the production of a major motion picture because the location might inspire bad thoughts? Are they afraid he is going to SEE things or DO things that he's not supposed to? Are they afraid his famous face is going to be snatched off the street and coersed into white slavery? Are they afraid he's going to show up on the cover of the next Bel Ami movie? Hollywood Sales has already made the gay porn movie spinoff, "Harry Squatter and the Socerer's Bone", (withOUT Daniel Radliffe, thank god.) Even if his career tanks after the Harry Potter series, it's already too late to sink into parodies of himself in the lower rungs of show business. The more likely explanation is the "concerned" parents are using pornophobia as an excuse to get contract concessions for something comletely unrelated and mundane. Just another example of anti-porn hysteria exploited for other purposes. Get used to it, there's much more of that to come. "Radcliffe's Parents Move Location of Fifth Potter Film The filming of Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix is returning to its original British location after the parents of Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe voiced safety fears over filming in the Czech Republic. The fifth big screen installment appeared destined to have a Czech location after Warner Bros executives announced earlier this year they were dismantling movie sets at Leavesden studios in Hertfordshire, and rebuilding them in Prague to save production costs. But Daniel's parents, Alan Radcliffe and Marcia Gresham, told producers they were concerned at letting their son - who turns 15 next month - spending long periods of time in a city increasingly famous for its wild nightlife and growing sex industry. As a result the most of the filming will now take place at the original Leavesden studios. A crewmember says, "Some of it is going to happen in Prague but we have been told that most of the filming is going to happen here. It's because of Daniel's parents, and you can see their point. Prague is not the place for a 15-year-old boy to spend several months in." The fourth movie, Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, hits cinemas this November ."

By special arrangement with Falcon Studios, Lavender Lounge Blog is pleased to bring you an exlusive interview with Roman Heart from the set of their new blockbuster movie, "Heaven To Hell". In this 2:27 long clip, shot and edited by Faye DuBois, Roman Heart talks about getting fucked by Brad Patton for the first time in Heaven to Hell (which went on sale today in the Falcon store). It's one of the stronger clips -- Roman comes across slutty and adorable. This clip is only available here at Lavender Lounge! Click the picture to watch. I've written quite a bit about "Heaven To Hell" already and I haven't even seen it, other than watching the dramatic, awe-inspiring movie trailer (which is temporarily showing in the Lavender Lounge VIP Room.) From what I know, it's Chi Chi LaRue's last movie for Falcon, and she wanted to go out with a bang (so to speak...) There has already been plenty of discussion about the over-the-top costumes and makeup used to make this movie surreal and psychedelic - or at least different that what you see in every other goddamn gay porn movie. (The makeup and effects were done by Spike, by the way.) It's also the first Falcon movie to use ALL Falcon exclusives in the cast, so you know they pulled out all the stops for this one. Plus, the big surprize is Brad Patton's first-ever bottoming experience. (Chi Chi was tickled about that the most!) The history behind "Heaven To Hell", as you will see in a clip at the Falcon website, is that Chi Chi directed a straight version of this movie for Vivid and later approached Falcon to do a gay version. The Falcon website also has seven more behind the scenes video clips from the production: Day 1: Chi Chi LaRue arrives on the set Day 2: Matthew Rush and Dean Monroe arrive; Matthew considers bottoming again Day 3: Erik Rhodes and Colby Taylor fluff each other Day 4: Matthew Rush and Erik Rhodes prepare for their scene together Day 5: Brad Patton, Josh Weston and Joe Sport prep for their three-way Day 6: Tristan Adonis gets ready for his four-way Day 7: All 10 Falcon Exclusives prepare for the orgy" Enjoy the Roman Heart interview, and don't forget that members of the VIP Room get access to sample movie trailers from Falcon that change every week or so.

Well, we're getting closer to the release date for this year's most anticipated release...  Lukas Ridgeston's final appearance in front of the video camera...  "Lukas in Love, Part 1 and Part 2" and for all you BelAmi die-hard collectors, the "Lukas in Love Premium Collector's Edition" which will feature a 3-disc set including Part 1 and Part 2 with one full disc of behind the scenes and footage only George Duroy and his BelAmi team know how to do. Also, don't forget about the 2nd annual Boys to Men charity event on Friday, June 24th in San Francisco’s Gay Pride Weekend.  Come rub shoulders with the BelAmi Boys and the COLT Men.  For tickets and more information go to www.BoystoMen.net. Fans may also want to know, that BelAmi Boy Superstar Johan Paulik has decided to make an appearance with his other BelAmi buddies.  

Retardo The Wonderfuck spent the night last night. I tossed and turned while Retardo sawed logs. (Note to self: No Chai or caffienated drinks after 12 noon!) At one point, he rolled over, leaned towards me and said in his regular daytime voice, "Man's Ear", then rolled over and continued his sawing. I got right up, went to the kitchen and wrote it down so I wouldn't forget that gem. As I wrote though, I considered he may actually have invented a new type of undergarment specifically for the male of the species. It would henceforth be named the "Mansierre". (Patent Pending.) He got up first to make coffee and spotted the note on the kitchen counter. Not knowing what it was, he also added the alternative spelling of "Manzere". Could either be a dessert topping or a country in Africa. I've given up trying to find meaning in life. I suggest watching more porn.

MARK DALTON, who had hoped for an early June release from the Texas Department of Corrections, has been approved for an OCTOBER 2005 release, pending completion of a "special program" that he must begin by July 2005.  This decision was made at a May 18, 2005 Parole Board Hearing.  No information is currently available about the exact "nature" of the program  Dalton must complete or where he'll complete it,  however it will be done under the supervision of the TDC at one of their prison units.  The October 2005 release date is predicated upon Dalton beginning the program in July 2005.   Recently, DALTON was transferred back to the Denton County Jail (from his TDC prison unit in Texas Colony) so he could  be closer for court appearances he had to make dealing with his original "possessions" charge.  Those matters have been completed and he'll be returning to a Texas Department of Corrections unit  so he can begin the "special program" by July 2005 and be legible for the October 2005 release.   DALTON is hoping to be able  to do a few "special" LIVE appearances in November & December.   No further information is available.  His mailing address is pending at this time, since he's going to be in transit.   Dalton's new Jocks/Falcon film, "Super Soaked," directed by Chi Chi LaRue, which is still available ONLY through mail order.     The  Mark Dalton prison/release  information is courtesy of  the Palestine Parole Unit of the TDC (903/729-3698) and the Denton County Jail (940/898-5620).  

Here is a profile of Falcon Exclusive, Roman Heart, compiled by the folks at Butch Harris's ManNet. I've run into Falcon Exclusive Roman Heart a few times this year, and I think he's really sweet and quite professional for a guy who is only 19. (Nineteen! I have things in my freezer older than that!) While in Chicago for IML last week, I was chatting with John Rutherford at the COLT booth when Roman passed by. Naturally, we both stopped in mid-sentence to oogle Roman as he approached the booth. Rutherford showered him with compliments about his looks and demeanor at industry events and told him, "If I was still at Falcon, you would be my favorite." Expect big things from Roman Heart.

Listen up, youngsters. It's time you had another lesson in Gay Porn History 101. In anticipation of the new documentary about gay porn legend, Peter Berlin (coming soon to the gay film festival circuit), here is a press release about the simultaneous re-release of Peter Berlin's "That Boy". THAT BOY Enter the world of Peter Berlin in That Boy, a classic of gay male erotic filmmaking, available for the first time on DVD in a Special Edition packed with amazing extras. Filmed in 1974, right on the heels of Berlin's phenomenally successful first film, Nights in Black Leather, That Boy is quintessential Peter Berlin--a series of voyeuristic fantasies within fantasies shot with style and charged with erotic tension. Peter plays Helmut, a thinly veiled version of Peter Berlin, who befriends a young blind boy on the street. The blind boy's active imagination places Peter/Helmut in a series of elaborate fantasy set pieces, including encounters with different men in a photographer's studio, at the gym, in a bar, and so on. Dressed in his famous black leather jacket and skin-tight white pants, Berlin poses and cruises his way around San Francisco's Polk Street and South of Market areas, encountering his many admirers and plenty of steamy action. That Boy serves up a tasty helping of Peter Berlin along with a rare glimpse of gay San Francisco in the early 1970s. Watch for members of the famous Cockettes and Angels of Light playing colorful street characters and bar denizens. Also included on the Special Edition DVD: two short silent films Peter made in the mid-1970s which were originally sold as 8mm reels by mail order. "Search" features Peter Berlin cruising himself at the Russian River. "Blueboys" is an incredibly hot two-part encounter between Berlin and his long-time friend, who went under the porn name Marc Majors. In a special treat for Berlin fans, the Special Edition contains four selections of raw footage from the hundreds of hours of never-before released film and video footage Berlin has amassed. This footage from Peter's Vault includes a very young and mischievous Peter attempting to jerk-off on the train from Paris to Germany, a hot encounter with a mystery man in which a confused poodle almost steals the show, and two wild solo Peter Berlin video clips that have to be seen to be believed. That Boy Special Edition contains: • Feature film remastered from the best available 16mm print • “lost” short films by Peter Berlin--Blueboys and Search • Full-length audio commentary for That Boy featuring Peter Berlin and noted porn reviewer John F. Karr • Peter Berlin photo gallery (over 60 images) • Never-before-seen raw film and video footage from Peter's Vault • Original trailer for Peter's first film Nights in Black Leather Feature running time: 78 minutes Year: 1974/75 Director, writer, producer: Peter Berlin Starring: Peter Berlin, Aaron Black Contact Information: Gorilla Factory Productions LLC 68895 Perez Road Suite 22-176 Cathedral City, CA 92234 phone: 760-408-7001 fax: 480-275-3132 email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

June is Gay Pride month here in San Francisco and for any Gay man; it's an event that just should not be missed...  Come to San Francisco for the weekend of June 24th!  The COLT Studio has lots to do and to keep you out (in) trouble all weekend long.  Starting with...  • Friday, June 24th come join the Bel Ami Boys and COLT Men at the 2nd annual charity event...  Info at www.boystomen.net • Saturday, June 25th come join the cast and crew of "BuckleRoos" for the worldwide premiere of "exposed: The Making of a Legend" at the Castro Theatre.  Info at www.eXposedthemovie.com • Sunday, June 26th come join all the BelAmi Boys and COLT Men while they ride down the SF Gulch and COLT Studio Group float down Market Street in crowds expected to exceed 1 million Here's what the folks at San Francisco's Frameline International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival say about our little documentary eXposed: The Making of a Legend: “‘That farmer asked what we were doing. I told him we were shooting a car commercial.' Director mr. Pam brings you behind the scenes for the 17-day shoot of a seminal Colt Studio Group's Buckshot Production masterpiece. On a gay porn set, all sorts of things can present huge (or flaccid) problems, and you get to see them as they unfold (and engorge). While on set in exotic Sacramento, you learn some tricks of the trade:  what to tell the neighbors you’re filming, when not to order the shrimp, and who to let the models look at to achieve their money shot. While the muted scenes of 'the action' are sexy, it’s the off-camera interactions that are sexier, from the straight production assistant who drops his trousers for anyone needing “inspiration” to the director of photography who has bedded most of his assistants. The interviews with cast and crew are insightful and funny, with stories of heartbreak, former ministries, and what exactly their parents think they do for a living. Free of the usual sad boy parade found in most porn docs, eXposed conveys a sense of the men behind the huge cocks. While they aren’t Fulbright scholars, some may surprise you, like the Southern boy paying his way through law school by doing porn. You’ll laugh, be amazed, and still get a boner from this behind-the-scenes look at the making of a fantasy." — Philip Walker  From everyone at the COLT Studio Group Team we look look forward to seeing you all here in our city by the bay - the sacred city at the end of the yellow brick road - San Francisco!  

Goddamn those gossip columnists and their fucking "Blind Items"! Billy Masters' Blind Items are usually pretty transparent, but that snarky Ted Casablanca always makes them so obtuse, that even HE can't figure them out (He probably has a staff to write his column). Here's a juicy Blind Item from J.C. Adams, who usually just comes right out and names names: "GOSSIP DESK We all know about that heterosexual movie star, who couldn't possibly be anything other than heterosexual, and about whom there is absolutely no evidence on this planet or any other that he might be anything other than heterosexual, who won a $10 million judgment against porn star Kyle Bradford a few years ago, because Mr. Bradford displayed piss-poor judgment when he gave an interview to a foreign newspaper and intimated that this heterosexual movie star might not actually be heterosexual. Anyway, in late May the "New York Daily News" ran an item about another porn star nicknamed "Big Red," whose existence is pretty much old news to industry insiders. Frankly, "Big Red" is gay porn's "Deep Throat." The newspaper alleged Big Red was planning to sell his story. Performer-turned-director Paul Barresi, who moonlights as a private detective, allegedly got into the act by allegedly introducing Big Red to infamous private eye Anthony Pellicano, who is now serving jail time for unrelated offenses. According to the "Daily News," after allegedly arranging for Big Red to allegedly meet with Mr. Pellicano, Mr. Baressi allegedly turned around and filled in Bert Fields, lawyer to that heterosexual movie star. Mr. Fields fired off one of his famously threatening cease-and-desist letters and that was that for Big Red. For now, at least. I'm sure Paul Baressi will be happy to fill in any details. Allegedly." Okay, so it's pretty easy to spot that he's referring to Tom "I LOVE Katie Homes" Cruise, but who the hell is porn star "Big Red"? Chris Ward? No, he wouldn't stoop to that. Pete Ross? Too new to the business. Will Clark? Oh please, he can't keep a secret for five minutes! If he hears anything, it's in his column pronto. Godamn gossip columnists! Here's another interesting, yet sad item from J.C. Adams, too: "Last week I wrote about author (and former porn star) Rich Merritt, whose memoir, "Secrets of a Gay Marine Porn Star" (Kensington Books) will be published this month. Now comes word Mr. Merritt was fired from his Atlanta law firm due to the revelations in his book. "They told me some of the contents would diminish my effectiveness as an attorney with clients," Mr. Merritt said in an interview. "They made sure it was not a sexual orientation issue." I guess that makes it a porn issue, then? In 1995 as "Danny Orlis" Mr. Merritt appeared in a string of porno flicks including BAD MOON RISING and BULLSEYE (both for All Worlds), (and Leather Obsession 2 from Video 10). Until three months ago he worked at the Powell Goldstein firm in the areas of products liability litigation and personal injury defense."

Over the next few weeks you will be seeing a lot of changes in the adult industry. May 24, 2005 will go down in porn history as "Black Tuesday". The adult entertainment industry got a big scare last summer when former Attorney General John Ashcroft wrote proposed changes to the 2257 laws requiring all producers of adult material maintain records that models are over the age of 18. The industry got a little freaked out for a few months, but just as the hysteria subsided, the new Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, signed the proposed changes into law and, in fact, made the rules even worse. The adult industry has until June 23, 2005 to comply with the new laws. However, the way it is written, it may already be too late for 99% of the adult webmasters out there, including moi! At this point, we don't know if the Department of Justice will consider June 23 as the date the compliance begins, or whether that is the date they start making arrests for violations that have already occurred! If I have any sexually explicit material on any of my websites, I need to have physical documentation proving that everyone in the photo or video is over 18. It doesn't matter if it is a banner from a sponsor, free content supplied by a sponsor or a a framegrab of Paris Hilton's sex video - I need a copy of the model's ID on file, AND I have to be available at my place of business at least 20 hours per week to allow federal agents to inspect those records without notice! Every single image that is in violation can result in 10 years inprisonment! This is serious shit. It doesn't matter that the guys I select to put on my sites are mostly in their 30's and 40's. In the government's quest to "protect children" with these new laws, they are making the assumption that EVERY model on EVERY porn site is not of legal age and it is the webmaster's responsibility to prove otherwise. Thanks a fucking lot for voting these bastards into office! Obviously, I have a lot to do in the next couple weeks to keep myself out of jail. I may not be able to put out my witty commentaries about the gay porn business as often I would like over the next few weeks here at Lavender Lounge Blog, but please bear with me. Some galleries in the Lavender Lounge VIP Room may go away completely, or may get watered down to softcore images, but there are plenty of interesting and hot images that ARE safe for me to run, and I can still point you to the "good stuff" with plain old text links, so don't be afraid to click!

I'm going to run a piece from Will Clark's column which, I think, with tie an ribbon on last week's festivities in Chicago for International Mr. Leather (IML) and the Grabby Awards. Will seems to have all the best dish, so read it from the horse's mouth: Next, oy gevalt, now just when I thought I was doing something nicey nice, i.e. keeping a certain former Falcon exclusive's name out of this and others' columns there he goes and lets it fly and boy did that one sure splatter around the internet. Of course I'm talking about Bobby Williams having a little "too much" of.. uhm whatever at the Bad Boys Pool Party and then being 'attacked' by the fun lovin Rod Barry who mangled him with a Sharpie and covered him in candy wrappers. I guess there are worse things than becoming the Courtney Love of the industry – I'm sure we could all name about two or three folks who wore the mantle well over the past few years but have blessedly given up pursuing that goal. Ah well. Youth. You can catch Bobby's goods on display in the most recent INDULGE magazine (number 90) Anyway, the weekend in Chicago was a blast and one of the most perfect weekends I've ever experienced in the gay porn industry in my entire ten years. Certainly this years Grabbys was one of the most enjoyable, well run porn award shows that I've ever been to.. and I'm not talking just the Grabbys but all the other shows as well. There didn't seem to be any backstage cat fights, people didn't grab the podium for personal agendas/vendettas and hey, no one declared themselves the "Son of God" so it was a win. Chi Chi http://www.chichilarue.com and Honey West http://www.honeywest.com co-hosted the show with generous helpings of co-hosts Michael Brandon http://www.xxxmichaelbrandon.com , Tag Adams http://www.tagadams.com and the cigar-chomping Zak Spears http://www.zakspears.com . Models showed up who were supposed to be there, Ray Dragon http://www.raydragon.com made a surprise appearance to accept a bunch of awards on behalf of Titan Media's wins for FALLEN ANGEL 5: HORSE (Best Leather Video, Best Art Direction, Best DVD Extras http://www.titanmedia.com) and things were kept, light n funny. And cripes, no egos. Really. Porn legend Grant Larson dropped in to the festivities and along with Erik Hunter (who is currently appearing in Raging Stallion's CENTURION MUSCLE http://www.ragingstallion.com) and I presented the first set of awards for the Best Leather and Best Fetish porn. Now that was quite an honor.. to be situated between two hot guys, one an up and comer and the other one of the hottest guys in the group of stars just before my entrance into the industry. It was a really cool moment. And you know what? Yeah, I know I'm a columnist and I was supposed to spend the next several hours recording all the winners and taking pictures and such but I deciding that having the freedom to sort of knock off after the first couple awards was a real treat and after the amount of work I've done this spring, I decided to kick back with some pals in the industry and just enjoy the night rather for a change rather than trying to keep track of the winners when the Grabbys site (that would be http://www.grabbys.com) would have it up within a day or two anyway.. Unless I was willing to rush back to the apartment that I was staying and write this column late that Saturday night, I could let the organizers take on that job. And I did. It was a first. And you know what? I had a blast!! So here it is a week later and I'm back home in New York and catching up on all the news .. hang on tight because we've got miles to go before we sleep. As for the Grabbys, congrats to WET PALMS http://www.wetpalms.com for once again racking up the award for Best Sex Comedy again as well as to COLT for their 2nd Best Pic win for BUCKLEROOS (which also nabbed honors for Best Directors Jerry Douglas and John Rutherford and a Best Screenplay nod to Jerry http://www.coltstudio.com and http://www.buckshotdvd.com) and of course to BOLT (Channel 1 http://www.channel1releasing.com) for their Best All Sex flick win (and which also won for Best Group Scene and Duo Sex Scene with Johnny Hazzard and Bad Boy Zak Spears) It definitely was a Zak year as he hosted the show, won a sex award AND a Best Non Sex Award for his role in BUCKLEROOS. Congrats Zak! Bad Boy Brad Benton scored big with a win for Best Actor (WET PALMS), Best Three Way (BUCKLEROOS) and one of the Grabby's notorious "surprise" categories Best Versatile Performer (which a few of Brad's friends were also jokingly surprised at… LOL) New York's Owen Hawk http://www.owenhawkxxx.com founder of Dark Alley Media http://www.darkalleymedia.com won Best Supporting (BUCKLEROOS) and Best Three Way (for the aforementioned BUCKLEROOS scene with Brad Benton). Owen also got Performer of the Year (along with Bad Boy Tag Adams who picked up Best Duo Sex Scene for PERFECT FIT from Hot House) My pal porn legend (and former Bad Boy) Chad Donovan showed up to pick up a Best Solo Scene award for WET PALMS as well as to be inducted into the Grabbys Wall of Fame. Congrats Chad! Chad is now working full time as a director for the good folks over at Studio 2000 http://www.studio2000video.com … congrats on that too Chad! In an interview in XXX Showcase, Chad had these thoughts to share about stars who talk about "retiring": "Oh, how many people say they've retired? I tell (models), "don't even say it this time. Just go away and come back." I did! I went away for a year, (laughter) I had to get away." Porn star and singer Chris Green was also put on the Wall of Fame along with Bad Boys Dillon Press and Rod Barry, writer Jeremy Spencer, and Raging Stallion founder Chris Ward. Raging Stallion picked up a couple of awards throughout the night including Best Fetish Video (DRILLED) and the MaleFlixxx http://www.maleflixxx.com People's Choice Award (POKIN IN THE BOYS ROOM). Raging Stallion's Michael Brandon also picked up the Hottest Cock Award. The full list of the awards can be see at http://www.grabbys.com The weekend started out on Thursday night May 26th at the Cellblock http://www.cellblock-chicago.com where Michael Brandon and new beau Marcos entertained fans with light banter and fundraising for the upcoming Center on Halsted. Also appearing: Michael Knight http://www.michaelknight.net, Erik Hunter, Markie, Montaz Morgan, Tony Serrano http://www.tonyserrano.com …. The Sharpie epidemic that seemed to have plagued the Pool Party was in evidence here as folks were writing all sorts of things on the butts and backs of the performers (like "hot ass" and "insert here"). I have pictures. They are on http://www.Cockring.org .. hee hee. Also that night Bret Wolfe http://www.bretwolfe.com celebrated his 30th birthday across the street at the North End. In attendance was Fredrick Ford http://www.fredrickford.com as well as director Drew Warner and porn pup Troy Punk (who is looking beefier than he did just a month ago at the pre Bad Boys events.. how is that possible? Woof! It must be love as Drew and Troy were inseparable all weekend long … it's really cool to see that .. sigh!) On Friday May 27th the leathermart at the IML host hotel got underway and Hot House http://www.hothouse.com filled their booth with fine folks like exclusives Alex Collack, Warren Lord, Kirk Ziegler and many others. I stopped by and hit the place just as Rik Jammer http://www.rikjammer.com and hot stud boyfriend John were cruising on by. With Chris Green helping out at the booth it was a sort of mini Pool Party. I had my friend Alan in tow and he was just amused by the whole thing as I yakked and chatted with fans, friends and industry colleagues. Next door, Zak Spears and Gus Mattox http://www.gusmattox.com signed pics and greeted fans at the COLT booth. Meanwhile down the corridor Michael signed his dildo at the Raging Stallion booth (shared with New York's Leatherman store). That night I hosted my annual Cocktails with Will Clark event at Gentry http://www.gentryofchicago.com. As the event has gotten larger every year, we moved it downtown from the Halsted Street location and fans filled the room and got to hear all the latest news from a variety of stars. First up Zak Spears who talked about his long life in the gay porn industry and how he's bulked up to a whopping 250.. wow! All muscle my friends and it turns out that he's about ready to finally retire after so many years in the biz. He's working mostly with COLT these days as well as appearing in WET PALMS as a kind of JR Ewing type character (there promises to be a major cliffhanger at the end of WET PALMS 9 which shoots later this month and out in the autumn… will Zak be the one to get offed? Stay tuned….) Next up was pal Gus Mattox who is also in the WET PALMS mega epic as well as in the latest COLT flick LEATHERBOUND. It was sorta funny interviewing him for literally the third time in two weeks as Gus appeared here in New York just the week before at both the PORN IDOL and PORNO BINGO events that I produce. LOL I think it's hilarious that I knew the answer to every question I was asking making for the easiest interview of the night (although let's be honest, he's a dream interview subject because he's smart, attractive and busy and has lots to talk about). http://www.gusmattox.com Then there's COLT exclusive Adam Dexter.. well, I certainly can't say enough great things about Adam. Tall, hot, muscular and one of the most effervescent guys of the night, Adam just returned from shooting a Bel Ami flick, (yes, a Bel Ami flick!) down in South America making him a unique performer. Generally 'mainstream' porn performers don't appear with the Bel Ami boys and I'm certainly going to be on the lookout for that flick… I know that you will too!! Eventually you will be able to find him at http://www.adamdexter.com. (and those of you in the Phoenix area got a true treat last month when Adam appeared on the cover of X Factor magazine.. yum yum yum) Bad Boy Michael Knight is always a great guest to have at these types of events because well, he's sexy, fun and a great gabby interview. Michael just finished filming the big 28 man orgy for All Worlds that got filmed at Wally World (the location of the annual Bad Boys Pool Party of course) in Palm Springs. Michael ended up in the top three that was to receive the magical $20,000 but that went to an All Worlds exclusive. No press release about that event that's come out so 'sigh' I guess you'll have to find out about it another way. LOL Anyway, Michael can be found at Up and comer Fredrick Ford dropped by to raffle off a couple of videos and talked up his recent recording with William Hung and all that that entailed as well as his upcoming performance gigs and CD out soon. Then it was time to interview the Hot House exclusives and you know I'm a really great one on one interview but it's nearly impossible to keep my composure when confronted by the likes of Enzo Grimaldi and Kirk Ziegler (from Amsterdam), Kent North and Warren Lord (from London), Alex Fuerte (uhm I'm sure he told me where he's from but by this time there was literally no blood running in my brain) and of course the hottest man in the room, Alex Collack. Now most folks that have encountered me in life know that I don't have any trouble speaking on a microphone but these guys literally left me speechless. Maybe it was a low blood sugar moment or maybe it was just a low blood level moment (this is what happens when ones penis hogs it all) but I struggled during the 15 or so minutes that I got up out of my chair and went to interview the group of them as they had congregated in a corner of the room. The generous folks at Hot House brought in multiple copies of TRUNKS as well as their latest flick SKUFF 3 which was just being debuted at the IML weekend (and the box cover shot of Jason Ridge with a shaved head and wearing a leather policeman's uniform is literally suitable for framing – but the shot of Owen Hawk taking in two huge cocks on the back cover is one of the most decadent and sexy shots I've seen in the ten years I've been in gay porn). Thankfully Jimmy the Hot House publicist has infinite patience with me and we got through the interview just fine. There were a lot of folks buying tickets (so much so that we raised over $700 for Test Positive Aware Network http://www.tpan.org ) but as Gentry downtown is a large bar and folks would come and go, there were many times when folks just wouldn't show up when we read their ticket numbers. So at one point I offered to give a SKUFF 3 to a guest in the room who would be willing to show us his ass. Yeah, I know but it actually paid off as this cute guy shoved his way to the front (OK so I think his friends actually pushed him but whatever) and we ripped down his pants – to reveal a succulent shapely butt. Yum. I can appreciate beauty in all forms and a nice round pert butt even gets this professional bottom going. http://www.hothouse.com A short while later Chi Chi showed up making the rounds from party to party and I just had to call the guy up to the interview area to show Ms. LaRue a beautiful butt because if anyone appreciates a beautiful butt, it's Chi Chi. Jason Branch http://www.jasonbranch.com joined me next who also revealed that although he's just appeared in the first Adonis pic that he's going back to school later this year and going to reduce his time in the biz… we'll sure miss him as Jason has been to nearly every Bad Boys party over the years and is a pal and well one of the hottest men that I've encountered in my tenure. Hilariously we started talking about dating within the industry (carefully but humorously avoiding the subject of You Know Who) and he inadvertently "outed" his last boyfriend, who is a friend of one of the Gay Chicago staffers. One of my favorite moments of the weekend was watching the surprised look on his face when he heard that our mutual friend Parker in San Fran (kind of preppy and straight laced) had dated Jason for a while last year. Really we're a large community of gay men but sometimes it feels as though the world is tiny. http://www.jasonbranch.com Bret Wolfe showed up and we grilled him about the WET PALMS movies (we all agree that this is a stellar project for him) and then Drew Warner and Troy Punk joined us for a bit (Drew has taken a couple years off of the industry but is returning to create sequels to many of his popular Sports and Rec flicks such as MANUEVERS) and brought along tons of Hot House samplers as well as a bunch of flicks from MSR (whose fate is still a little up in the air although the common wisdom is that they will release the last few flicks that they made prior to owner Tony Alizzi's passing earlier this year and then sell the company to another …. There are whispers who this will be but I've been asked not to speculate publicly) and finally Pete Ross http://www.peterossxxx.com who told us about him getting into trouble with his "day job" as a flight attendant at a certain American airline now that they’ve found out that he does gay porn (as if most of their staff hasn't done gay porn.. harrumph!) as well as the success of having done a bunch of Falcon, Raging Stallion and much more and having just been hired as the "new pool boy" in the upcoming segments of WET PALMS. Whew!!!! Next up was blonde, thin and twinkish, Markie. He's been around for a few years and it was great to finally meet him. Perhaps we will see more of him at upcoming events. Finally my final guest of the evening was Michael Brandon .. I always like having Michael at the end of the night as he's the easiest interview ever because I've known him for five years and there's no end to the material to cover when talking to him. At one point we were both leaning against the back wall sorta talking to each other as if we were old geezers sitting on a park bench drinking soda pop discussing the weather. You don't get that kind of comfort level with someone over night but it's the ease by which I can kind of let go by the time he's up on stage with me that continually makes me appreciate his warmth and energy. Four dildos, a reduction in all things performance wise, moving the new boyfriend in with him in San Francisco and so on… all made good conversation. We gave away a couple of his dildos (one to a woman who did a fake orgasm in order to get one) and chatted about the Grabbys.. and wow. Suddenly I looked up and it was nearly 9:30pm and we were supposed to end at 9pm, the 10pm show itching to get in the room. Whoops! Well, I thanked everyone for coming and staying and the stars for appearing and it had been such a great night with such great energy… I couldn't however let the night go without mentioning our dear friend Dave Edwards who founded Gentry and who passed away earlier this year. It was a moment that I will never forget nor would I want to – I thought I might be overly sentimental or too maudlin but it turned out right. We toasted our glasses to Dave's memory because without his dream we wouldn't be there. Dave was a very special man and I personally owe him a lot. He was instrumental in making these Grabbys weekends work out for me and well, it was one of those things that you don't realize how much someone has made a difference in your life until they are gone and you see the hole that they've left behind. The weekend was great but we missed our friend Dave. On that note, I'll close this column and be back with a second column right behind! WILL CLARK

My photos from International Mr. Leather, the Leather Mart, and the Grabby Awards are now available to VIP Members of Lavender Lounge. I spent Memorial Day weekend in Chicago for the festivities surrounding the big leather, kink, fetish, and gay porn extravaganza in the Windy City. You'll see my photos from the IML opening ceremonies, competition finals, the leather trade show that ran every day of the event at the host hotel (Leather Mart), and Gay Chicago Magazine's annual gay porn video awards show, the Grabby's. In case you're wondering, yes, that IS the real Judy Tenuda in the picture above! She was the special guest performer at the IML finals held at Chicago's Navy Pier. Here's my favorite joke told by The Goddess, Judy Tenuda: "Dear Goddess: How do turn a fruit into a vegetable? Put him on stage with a white tiger!" And it went downhill from there.... I also ran into Juuuudy, and we were both checking out of the hotel. She was chatting on her cell phone, and guess what? That grating voice of her's you recognize onstage is her REAL voice! Join the Lavender Lounge VIP Room to see more gay porn stars and twisted freaks (like Judy Tenuda!) from my trip to Chicago.
