I actually didn't let myself get too obsessive about shooting pictures. I was able to put the camera away now and then to let myself have some fun, too, because it didn't take much effort to find incredible shots everywhere I turned! Overall, the photo set from Dore Alley is quite comprehensive with fine examples of manhood of all kinds. And my, my were the muscle bear cubs out in force! Yum! I hope that term really catches on, because there are some really sexy guys roaming around unlabeled that need that identification!

There were some freaks out, naturally, but I concentrated mostly on photographing guys that my customers would pay to see - daddies, bears, cubs, and built 30-40 year old sluts with tattoos, facial hair and furry chests. I did, however, capture one guy standing on the curb in front of the Powerhouse just as he was shooting a big load of jizz. He was standing all by himself, pulled out his dick and started jacking off for the crowd. People were just walking by, half noticing him nearing an orgasm, when a friend motioned to me to catch it on my camera. Some cute tourist jumped in next to the cumming guy to have his friend photograph him giving the thumbs up sign. (It's definitely tourist season!) You can see the whole orgasm sequence in the Paparazzi Pix section, including the spurts of cum flying in mid-air.

Enjoy these samples, then join the Lavender Lounge VIP Room to see the rest of the photos from Dore Alley 2007 in the Paparazzi Pix section.

Dak Ramsey Poses for Lavender Lounge

I was very excited to get the opportunity to shoot a really big name porn star recently! As soon as I heard that Dak Ramsey was no longer under contract to Falcon , I snatched him up asap! We did a big photo and video session with him, and I'll have to give you more details later, but the first gallery "Dak Ramsey - Bodybuilder" is now available in the Lavender Lounge VIP Room. Five more galleries will be debuting over the next few weeks with videos, too.

Keep checking the links for Upcoming Photos and Upcoming Videos to see "Dak Ramsey - Trucker", "Dak Ramsey - Priest", "Dak Ramsey - Mechanic", "Dak Ramsey - Shower" and "Dak Ramsey - Cum Shot".

Blind Items - Bareback Edition

When gossip columnists have really nasty items that could damage careers or expose their sources, they often write it as a "Blind Item". This way they can give a hint without naming names about people like "...the shaved-head crackwhore singer with a penchant for smashing car windows with an umbrella..." without getting sued. Gossip mongers like Ted Casablanca and Billy Masters love Blind Items, but readers hate Blind Items - they're too hard to figure out!

Here's some Blind Items from Pornlandia for you to chew on, but the answers are fairly obvious.:

-Which super-hot gay porn studio with a solid reputation for only releasing safe sex movies out of their house now sells bareback movies from another studio in their online store AND advertises the notorious videos in their email blasts?

-Which horse-hung studio owner admits in the August 2007 issue of Out Magazine that he's bareback at home, but sees himself as safe sex role model onscreen?The irony is that his staunchly safe sex company's online store also sells bareback movies AND probably has a stake in a hot barebacking dotcom.

-Which old school studio got on the safe sex bandwagon late in the game (around 1993 - which was 10 years into the AIDS crisis!) and is struggling to remain relevant in other ways in order to resist the temptation to go back to the good old days?

-Which studio that had a policy of not hiring models who did bareback movies for other studios recently let that policy fly away when a young barebacking superstar became available as they swooped down rapter-like to snatch him?

-Which other gay porn studios have also lapsed on their policy of not hiring models who've done bareback movies?
Hint: Pretty much all of them.

-Which of the top echelon gay porn studios that specializes in twink movies can we check off as the first of the biggies to cross over to openly shooting bareback movies?
Oh, never mind, our beautiful friend is European - they don't really count.

-Which of the two biggest bareback studios regularly shoot scenes involving "bug chasing" (i.e. knowingly allowing yourself to become infected with HIV)?
Hint: Both of them.

-Which publication for men stopped selling advertising to bareback studios and web sites under pressure from City Hall to "zip it up"?

-Which adult industry publications DO sell advertising to bareback companies?
Hint: Pretty much all of them.

-Which safe sex studio could barely keep up with orders for their films signed a distribution deal in 2006 with a company whose main business is producing bareback movies?

-Which awards show that proudly excludes bareback movies in the regular video categories had a nominee in Best Documentary which included some of the same barebacking footage that is otherwise banned from other categories?

-Which gay porn studios and websites test their models for HIV?
Hint: Only a couple.

-Of the gay studios that DO test for HIV, which ones turn down models that test positive for HIV?
Hint: Probably none.

-How many gay bloggers does it take to change a lightbulb?
Hint: Just one to change the lightbulb - but only only AFTER he's stirred up the shit and gotten everyone pissed off at him!

Location Scouting Disaster

We have a big shoot scheduled for Sunday, and I am really nervous about it. We're going to be shooting a pretty famous gay porn star, and I have a bit of crush on him. I'm not going to mention his name right now because I don't want to jinx it, but I've expounded about his beauty and charms on many occasions here at Lavender Lounge Blog. I can't believe he's going to be working for me! This could really give Lavender Lounge some legitimacy with the big boys for once!

So anyway, I got so excited about this big shoot coming up that I decided to try shooting some glamour shots outdoors, and remembered a decayed, urban environment in an old warehouse district on the bay. I took a long bike ride last Sunday scoping out some possible locations, so on Wednesday, I took Justin (my videographer) with me to scout the location one more time.

We drove along Illinois Street starting from the new Mission Bay project and I showed him a couple spots that turned out to be a little to pubic. I actually had a spot in mind that used to be known around here as "the cable car graveyard". Ten years ago ravers used to break into old deserted warehouses in that area to throw big rave parties until the cops clamped down on it. But at the end of 24th street is a neglected public park right on the bay that overlooked an old parking lot full of cable car and subway wreckage, hence the nickname. The hipsters and Burning Man kids all knew about it and would throw after hours shindigs out there, far from any polite neighbors.

We drove right threw a big open gate that had a small, 6 inch "No Trespassing" sign at the top of a 10 foot fence and proceeded to park the car around the corner to get out and check the scenery.

The cable car wreckage was now all gone and the building looks like some preliminary repairs had begun, but there was not a soul to see in site in any direction. We visualized dozens of dramatic angles of old buildings, rotted docks, a power plant next door, giant smokestacks, radical graffiti art (like to the right), plus views of the bay and Oakland hills. Perfect for shooting porn with a hot, edgey tattooed hunk. We spent a total of about 10 minutes to see what we needed to see, and got back in the car.

Lo and behold, when we came around the corner, the gate was locked! Stunned, we looked around to see who might have locked us in. Two cute hipster straight guys with a big camera approached the fence and asked us how they could get in. "We're trying to get OUT!" Recognizing our plight, they were kind enough ask for help at the nearest building, but to no avail, so they moved on. The huge industrial complex was abandoned for so long ago there were no indications of who it belonged to or who might have locked us in.

The entire perimeter was secure as a prison, with 10 foot razor wire fences on two sides and the bay on the other sides. There was no way to get either the car or our bodies out of there without causing major damage to something.

After about two hours of trying to flag down a human at the power plant, I finally resorted to calling the cops.

"What's your location?", the dispatcher asked.

"Um, I'm lost." I didn't even know the name of the street or the cross street, and could only see vague points of reference to identify our location. Justin saw a company name printed on a padlock and was able to Google a reference to the dead company on his cell phone, but it at least gave us an address to give to the cops. (How do these kids get to be so tech savvy?)

When the cops arrived, the dyke driving the cop car must have had pity on us because they spent the next half hour or more driving around trying to find who was in charge of locking that gate. They returned with a second dyke in a second car, and talked among themselves for quite a while assessing the situation. I feared getting a ticket or getting involved in some nasty police action, but mostly I was worried about missing the Opening Night performance of Kiki and Herb that was coming up in less than two hours!

Just as they approached the car to tell us the bad news that they were going abandon us(!) and get back to real police work, a guy in a black Prius walked up and announced he had a key!

"Who are YOU?" the black dyke asked.

He turned out to be the plant manager of the power plant on his way home. When he saw the two police cars at the gate, he decided he should find out what was going on. He could just as easily gone right home, without noticing the commotion and we would have probably been stranded all night!

I think he was expecting me to be hostile and demand to be released, but I was very vague about my reasons for being there and acted very grateful for his help. He opened the gate, the cops ran our ID's and we high-tailed it out of there a quickly as we could.

I've been doing video for a long time, and I have always preferred to plan shoots around a single familiar "home base" or studio situation, preferably MY own home. I've had to learn the hard way over and over again that shooting on location always increases your chances of unpredictable disasters ten fold. But even with numerous past location challenges, I still find myself getting back into that trap again. Will I never learn?

Stay tuned for a big announcement on Monday or Tuesday as to my newest gay porn celebrity "get". Join now to avoid the rush!

Long story short - we did see Kiki and Herb. Watch the video below, it was their finale number.

Meanwhile, Back At The Convent...

Fellow Sisters, does your convent need a little sprucing up? Brothers, is your rectory in need of a queer eye makeover? Or do you have a fetish for pissing in a nun's face? Maybe it's time to have a consultation with your local professional interior desicrator.

I desperately need one of these nun urinals installed in my bathroom. Where can I buy one, and how many Hail Mary's do I need to be absolved?

Pete Ross Retired?

It appears that popular gay porn star Pete Ross has retired from the homo adult video industry. His websites all disappeared without much fanfare, and no one has heard a peep from him.

Pete Ross took the industry by storm a few years ago and really tried to approach the job of gay porn "star" from a dedicated and professional approach. He made all the right moves - working hard on his body, working for the right studios, meeting the right people, attending the right parties, doing publicity and getting his name out there.

A year or so ago, he even went way out on a limb to defend his position to stay in the adult industry by going to battle with his employer. As a flight attendant for an airline, someone outed him for his work in gay porn, and he got involved in a big legal fight. He fought it to the end, naming himself the "Porn Rebel" with a blog dedicated to chronicalling his battle. When it finally settled, he couldn't discuss the details, but his last entry before the sites disappearred around December 2006 stated merely, "I won!"

I met Pete Ross at Sister Conclave party where he volunteered as a waiter. The nuns were all atwitter over the delicious blond carrying trays of canapes wearing nothing not much more than a rope expertly knotted by a bondage daddy in attendance. I got his number and asked if he's be interested in posing for Lavender Lounge. By the time we scheduled a shoot, he had already worked for Factory Videos and was being courted by Raging Stallion.

On the day of the shoot with Pete Ross, I knew he was going to be an important model and a once in a lifetime opportunity, so I ran out and plunked down almost $1000 for a new camera. I was ready to buy it anyway, but Pete was the motivation to get me to do it. Pete Ross was very patient and supportive of me fumbling with this new gadget as I literally took it out of the package for the first time in front of him. During the course of the shoot, I admitted that I was nervous about screwing up the pictures, and it was HE who re-assured me that everything would turn out okay!

Since I was testing a new digital still camera, the video took the backseat, being the one-man-band porn studio I was back then. But I was able to successfully document the entire solo jack off session with Pete Ross on video, amateurish though it may be. We've chopped the video with Pete Ross into five segments and added them to the Video Galleries of the Lavender Lounge VIP Room under the heading "Exclusive Models". Currently, two of the clips are showing now, with three more scheduled to debut next week. (Now you see why it pays to let your membership renew every month!)

I also have the entire photo session with Pete Ross from April 2004 in the Photo Galleries under the heading "Hunks". Yes, I was a little clutzey with the new camera, but I shot enough pictures that there are some gems in there somewhere! Just select the slideshow function and sit back.

Buckshot's "Brotherhood" in Post Production

"Bucking" for another Best Screenplay or Best Picture award, Jerry Douglas and the guys from Buckshot are rolling out the publicity machine every step of the way to pump up their next heavily scripted blockbuster, "Brotherhood". Though scripted stories were not what made the COLT empire, and neither were casts of young pups that Douglas tends to choose, change is needed in the industry to survive. John Rutherford has done an amazing job bringing COLT and it's various specialty lines (like Buckshot) back to the top of the industry by doing everything first class - and that means hiring the best talents and making the changes needed to be contemporary.

Take a look at the yummy cast of assembled for BROTHERHOOD, and read the latest behind-the-scenes gossip of making a big budget pay porn movie - then click the pictures to see other COLT and Buckshot movies streaming online.

Buckshot Man Danny Roddick has just completed the final touches on his performance in the starring role of Jerry Douglas's new film for Buckshot Productions, BROTHERHOOD. After viewing the final cut, award-winning writer-director Douglas had decided to add several new lines of voice-over to the soundtrack, and Roddick recently spent one afternoon recording the new audio track at the COLT Studio Group’s Buckshot studio in San Francisco, California. The film will be released worldwide on August 15, 2007.

"It was a weird feeling to go back and find the character again after all of these months," said Roddick. "We filmed the production early last April, and it took awhile to turn me back into the character again. His name's Chandler - and in some ways, we're a lot alike, but in others, not at all. That's where the acting comes in. But after a few minutes, everything fell back into place - it was kind of like finding an old friend and picking up right where you left off."

In BROTHERHOOD, Roddick plays the role of Chandler, one of the most popular guys on campus and a pillar of his college fraternity. When one of his fraternity brothers discovers that Chandler has been secretly working his way through college making all-male adult movies, all hell breaks loose. Determined not to resign, Chandler sets out to discover the secrets of the other brothers and "level the playing field." The entire film takes place during one long, hot night at the frat house after a formal dance.

BROTHERHOOD marks the sixth film Roddick has made for Buckshot since his debut in Kristofer Weston’s sextravaganza HARD Studies. His other films since then include Boot Black Blues, BIG RIG Extended Cab Premium Edition, MUSCLE RANCH II and Olympus’ debut feature HOSTILE, directed by Roland Dane."

"But this role was so different from any role I'd ever played before, either dramatically or sexually," admits Roddick. "For one thing, before the film is over, my character has had physical contact - in one way or another - with every other member of the cast. You know, most of the time you have one or two scene partners, and sometimes you don't even meet half the cast - but this time I was called to the set every day, and before the shoot was over, I'd had scenes with every single member of the cast. Now that was what I call a lot of fun!"

Among the other members of the all-star cast with whom he worked was Jan Fischer, who plays his roommate, a foreign exchange student. There was instant chemistry between the two stars. "Jan is so beautiful," Roddick declared. "But his inner beauty is even more beautiful than his physical beauty. I felt like I should be paying Buckshot for the privilege of working with him!"

Buckshot Man Dean Phoenix and Kevin Armstrong were among the other stars he performed with, and he was equally enthusiastic about both of them. "I'd wanted to work with Dean Phoenix ever since I'd seen him in BuckleRoos," he admitted. "And Kevin Armstrong is nothing like the tough, hard-nosed marine type he plays in the film. He was great fun to be around, both on the set and off."

There are a number of newcomers in the film - including Justin Burkshire, Kurt Wild, Jeremy Michaels, and Tory Mason, and Roddick confessed that "It was quite a change of pace for me. Up till then, I'd always been the newcomer on the set, and suddenly I was the veteran, helping them and showing them the ropes."

Roddick summed up his experience in BROTHERHOOD, by saying, "The role was the biggest one I've been given so far, and at first, it scared the hell out of me. All those lines! But the wonderful thing is that Jerry makes you feel like an actor, makes you feel that you can do anything he asks you to. He demands a great deal of you, and you in turn give the scene everything you've got, no matter how many takes are required to get what he wants."

Nova - Super Punk Boi Extreme

Nova is a local club kid around San Francisco that pretty much everyone knows, sort of a legend, you might say. It's the usual story - he strips at clubs, sells Jello shots at bars, always dresses flamboyantly, hangs out with the cool crowd of punks, faeries, street trash, and artsy types. He also paints and creates art, but his real talent is the art of survival on the edge of society. Yes, he's been a "troubled youth" for a long time, and I just don't know how those types get by.

Nova has been photographed by a lot of local pornographers as well as fine art photographers. He's posed twice for me, once under the name "Gabriel" and as Nova. The first session (after many cancellations) he tried to pull off a sporty look with jeans and baseball cap, but that just didn't work with the shaved eyebrows and oddly sculpted haircut.

Before the second session, though, I decided I wanted to actually take advantage of his quirky look and let him be as outrageous as he wanted. When I picked him up, he was living in a warehouse space with god knows how many other artists / freaks. While I waited for him to shower and prep, I took pictures of some of his art pieces, and when he said he needed to shave, I suggested we go outside and photograph the process.

The warehouse was in an industrial area, almost under a freeway ramp and the "yard" was full of clutter, junk, old cars and an abandoned school bus. I photographed him sitting on a wacky camel sculpture with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and using the school bus mirror for shaving. The photos done there were almost enough themselves, but he packed up a giant duffle bag of clothes and we headed off to Oakland for the real shoot.

We shot photos and videos of Nova in several different costumes and I let him get as creative as he wanted. I lent him my flourescent makeup to paint his face to match the glow in the dark wet suit that he altered himself. His favorite outfit was the leather / bondage inspired concoction in the video which was his tribute to his idol, Madonna. When I asked him about Madonna, he really lit up and went into hero worship mode over the Material Girl.

Throughout the photo session, his eyes were glued to his own image reflected in the full length mirrors across from him behind the camera. When it came time for his cum shot, it was clear that he really got off on seeing his own reflection. Nothing wrong with that!

Nova is a small guy, about 5'4" and I would guess about 100 -120 pounds. His background is Central American heritage, and he's got a nice long uncut cock for such a little guy!

There are hundreds of amazingly creative photos of Nova in the Lavender Lounge VIP Room under the category "Faeries". The session was done in 2003 (when he was around 25), but the reason I am promoting it now is because I just recently processed the videos from that session for the first time!

For videos of this punk photo session, look for Nova and/or Gabriel in the Video Section under "Exclusive Models".

My Latest Obsession - Jamie Stroud

I somehow stumbled on this guy's website and he is my latest obsession! His name is Jamie Stroud and he is a 20 year old bisexual bodybuilder, gymnast and wacko (not necessarily in that order...)

This little Markie Markie clone is one of the kids who is really using the web and all it's creative networking capabilities the way it should be used. He makes little crazy videos of himself with no format or rules and for some reason, they are just absolutely captivating!

He flexes his muscles, contorts his body into weird positions, performs acrobatic slapstick/performance art, does standing back flips, and talks to the camera to sort of work out his demons. But he also ventures deep into Johnny Knoxville / Steve-O / Jackass territory - with a sexy edge.

In one of his videos, he does a pee stunt in the backyard where he shoots a stream of piss forceful enough to shower himself in it. In another video, he supposedly eats his own "poopie", but that could have been faked. He also has at least one jack off video where he draws "Girl Jamie" on his stomach while "Boy Jamie" jerks off, slapping his dick mercifully throughout. "Why did you cum in me instead of pulling out and shooting on my belly?, Girl Jamie asks. "But I did!" replies Boy Jamie.

I am going to track this guy down and hire him to do videos for me! I have tons of ideas, and I think his type of pure creativity is exactly what's missing in gay porn. When I chose the slogan "It's Porn Different!" for Lavender Lounge, THIS is what I was looking for! If you are out there, Mr. Stroud, contact me immediately!

You may be asking, "why the girly clothes?" Well, let's leave it to him to respond.

Now how to I find ten more Jamie Strouds?

"Slave Market" Vintage Gay Porn Re-Issue

NEW AMG Classic DVD Release!
Story Film Classics: Slave Market
Featuring Keith Stephen, the original muscle hunk

When I saw that poster for AMG's Story Film Classics: Slave Market with that dreamy bodybuilder, I almost turned into a Tex Avery cartoon complete with bug-eyes popping out of my head, steam shooting out of my ears, wolf whistle and shrieks of "Hubba Hubba!" And that would be totally befitting the genre of this vintage gay porn movie.

The Athletic Model Guild (AMG) announced the release of Story Film Classics: Slave Market, earlier today. Slave Market is a compilation of Bob Mizer’s campy, plot-driven films that cover a nearly 50-year career. This collection includes 20 vintage, color and black/white films starring over 50 models, including some faces familiar to physique photography aficionados.

For the first time ever, AMG is releasing the only film of Forrester Millard in existence. Forrester was among the very first models photographed by Mizer when the studio opened its doors in 1945. Today, original AMG photographs of the muscular young Millard sell on the market in excess of $1000. This solo film captures the reasons why. In addition, Slave Market contains an early 1951 posing film of Keith Stephen, a favorite among collectors for his 6th place ranking in the 1951 Mr. America bodybuilding contest.

Slave Market also contains a rare bit of behind-the-scenes footage from a very early AMG film, Pose, Please, starring John Tristram (also photographed by Colt’s Jim French). In the DVD extras, viewers are invited to take a candid look at the creating of Pose, Please, where Tristram and his costar make suggestive and playful use of a banana. Bob Mizer kept this short bit of footage hidden for decades, perhaps due to its overtly sexual nature. The resulting film was compiled from original film negatives recovered from the AMG cutting room floor; it is some of the most sexually playful footage ever seen from the repressed 1950s.

“When I came across a little film box in the AMG estate, which contained old unused footage of John and Larry horsing around on the set of Pose, Please, I thought ‘Wow, this stuff almost never saw the light of day,” AMG’s President, Dennis Bell said. “There’s not a lot, but it brings another dimension to these models’ personalities.”

Bell added that it is a big priority for AMG to remaster and distribute the films that Mizer worked so hard to produce. It is important that people continue to have access to Mizer’s work, because he had such historical significance, he said.

How true that is. Early in Mizer’s career, he was convicted and spent time in prison for sending “obscene” material through the mail. By the late 1960s, the laws were relaxed, allowing Mizer to make the more sexually explicit works characteristic of his later years. This period is represented in Slave Market as well, with the full-color nude film, Wizard of Azz, which dates back to the early 1970s when gay porn was in its infancy.

“Bob Mizer made a lot of films in his time,” Bell said. “It is time that everyone has the opportunity to see the foundation that the modern all-male adult industry was built on.”

Falcon Signed Monogamous Couple As Exclusives

Sweet and lovely, plus they share the same last name! Please welcome Mr. and Mrs. Jaric! They're billed as a "monogamous couple", but they're go go dancers in a gay club and perform in gay porn... how long is that going to last?

San Francisco, CA – July 9, 2007 – Falcon Studios proudly announces today the signing of Aden and Jordan Jaric to an Exclusive contract. The couple just wrapped filming on their debut movie for Falcon, “Endless Crush” (FVP179), due out October 22nd, 2007. Aden and Jordan, partners for over 2 ½ years decided earlier this year to pursue a joint career in the adult film industry after contemplating it for well over a year. Falcon President Todd Montgomery commented, “To the best of our knowledge no other studio has signed a committed and monogamous couple as joint Exclusives. We believe The Jarics will be as huge as their outgoing, playful and sexy personalities are and look forward to watching them progress in each new film that they do.” Aden and Jordan will appear together exclusively in all scenes filmed for Falcon but are also leaving the door open for incorporating other models into their scenes as their film career progresses. Aden & Jordan jointly commented, “With both of us being versatile we vow that no two scenes will ever be the same and promise to bring our playful passion for one other to each and every performance we do. We’ve thought long and hard about doing adult films and didn’t want to do it until we were both on the same page, but the thought of guys jerking off to what we usually do in private was so hot to both of us we knew we had to do it sooner than later!”

Residing in the Sacramento, California area Aden and Jordan fill their time managing a group of Bay Area nightclubs and breeding pure-bred Pomeranians.

Aden and Jordan can also be seen live every Saturday night as featured go-go dancers at the mega-club Faces ( www.faces.net ) in downtown Sacramento, California.

Dak Ramsey in "Line Up"

Okay boys, everybody line up single file - and yoo hoo, Dak Ramsey, you move to the front of the line! Everybody else line up behind him!

OMFG, is Dak Ramsey hot or what? I am so glad Falcon changed their "look" for Mustang videos, cause a few years ago, they might have just passed up a guy like Dak Ramsey because he doesn't fit the old clean cut Falcon look. Or worse, they might have made him shave off all that lovely fur. (Heaven forbid!) To me, he is just dreamy just as he is.

There is a slideshow of photos of Dak Ramsey in the Falcon website, but you can also find his movies online, too, at Gay Video Cafe. If only I could find him in my bed...

So far, Dak Ramsey has appeared in Mustang films Ranger, After Hours, Manhole and Ritual.

"Knockout" From Falcon International

Falcon Studios has revived their Falcon International line with the recent release of "Knockout". It's a pseudo-boxing movie where Euro twinks punch a bag a few times, then proceed to lick it (or something along those lines...) The big news about this release is the return of newly buffed up Tim Hamilton who made a big slash in Bel Ami movies. The tassled-haired blond twinkish knockout has blossomed into a beefy stud, but the rest of the guys in the photos below are pretty luscious as well. Buy it from Falcon's website, or watch it now at Gay Video Cafe.

POLITICAL RANT FOR THE DAY: It's too bad that adult performers like Tim Hamilton will probably not be appearing in porn videos shot here in the States thanks to the wackos in the Justice Department. Part of the new 2257 regulations prevent foreign performers from working on American soil unless they can present ID from a US government entity. As a result, you probably won't see overseas performers coming over for publicity tours either, cause if they can't work here, they won't bother coming. End of political rant, enjoy the movie.

Mark Dalton Update From Jail

Mark Dalton's agent sent this to me:

I've communicated with Mark Dalton. He claims he’s innocent. He told me, yesterday (phone call from Denton County Jail), that he had a gal living with him for a few months … but found out that she was “wacky.” On the night of May 31 he told her that he was going to bed … and wanted HER and all of her belongs to be out of his house by the time he woke up in the morning. He told me he didn’t lay a hand on the gal OR even raise his voice. He knew she was the type that would call 911 if he got too assertive. When Mark was sound asleep ... she DID call the cops, claiming she had been “assaulted” by her b.f. (Mark). She had no bruises ... but, when the police arrived, she insisted that he had hit her AND refused to let her call 911.

They woke Mark up and told him he was under arrest ... and he about freaked. WELL ... Mark's attorney has now gotten an affidavit from the gal ... where, under oath, she states that: she made it all up, she was mad because Mark wanted her out ... she was drunk ... and she had no idea what trouble she'd be causing by calling the police on him. MARK's attorney is doing what he can to get the D.A. to drop the charges. BUT ... in Mark's case ... because he's, "Mark Dalton," he’s at the mercy of the D.A. ... and, until they get around to reading the affidavit the lady signed ... he’s just a woman hating gay porn star. Oh well. That's so backwards. I'll keep you posted as we talk more.

This could all take a few weeks ... OR ... several months. No telling. He’ll be arraigned on the 2 misdemeanor charges (assault & interference with an emergency call) on July 16. In the meantime ... Mark is enjoying the "pre-trial" area of the jail (I guess they figure you really aren't "guilty" until a judge or jury finds you guilty, quite different than in most places) ... where they get more privileges (phone, TV, computer games, etc.). BUT, overall, MARK is very mad and quite upset ... it's the over-crowded criminal/legal system in a big State ... at its best (the huge police departments, with all the overtime available, seem to be arresting more people than ever ... not worrying about the jail/prison overload, the D.A.'s case loads, parole & probation officer's caseloads, etc.).

Some Positive Reviews of Lavender Lounge

I ran across a couple very positive reviews of Lavender Lounge recently, and I thought I would share them. Sometimes I think I am working in a vacuum and nobody knows this site exists. But, when I get a Four Star Rating from Cybersocket, a full page plug on Juicy Goo, and an 86 our of 100 from The Gay Newz, I feel like my work is not in vain.

On page 47 of the brand new July 2007 issue of Cybersocket, Lavender Lounge was the editor's pick of Sex Sites. Cybersocket said, "Don't let the friendly comic book characters fool you into thinking this site is for just any guy that enjoys porn. No. This site is for the gay male that is obsessed with hot men that love to show off. Whether it be at hairy boys, twinks, vintage porn, punks, specific fetishes or just random pictures of hot gay boys at various festivals throughout the country - it all comes with your Lavender Lounge membership!

Juicy Goo said, "My absolute favorite section in LavenderLounge.com is the Paparazzi galleries...These galleries showcase the best in male exhibitionism and public nudity. That is only the tip of the iceberg..."

The Gay Newz said, "When I heard that I was supposed to review Lavender Lounge I was very excited. I have heard about the blog on this site and I expected the best. Lavenderlounge offers over 21,000 photos of blazing hot men... When I first visited the site, I was wowed by the splash page."

"The color scheme of the site is very nice with complementary colors (yellow and purple). The design of the site is professional and has some cool cartoon drawings... The pictures and videos are great quality, in the pictures section there is an option for a slideshow which works well."

The Gay Newz also broke down their scoring as shown below.

CONTENT
Quantity: 13 out of 15
Quality: 21 out of 25
Exclusive: 4 out of 5
Updates: 8 out of 10
Downloads: 4 out of 5

NAVIGATION
Ease: 8 out of 10
Design: 10 out of 10

VALUE
Cost: 8 out of 10
Fairness: 10 out of 10

TOTAL
86.0 out of 100

Cockanova also wrote me recently and said, "Our reviewers loved your site, and it’s going to be published on 13th of July in our system...." I can't wait to hear what they had to say!

Some of the negative reviews were things I also agree are problems to work on. I don't particularly like the navigation on this site either, so that will need some attention. And yes, we were a little light on video content for a while, but much more videos got added recently. Keep checking "New Videos" and "Upcoming Videos" - you'll be pleasantly surprised! So why haven't you joined yet?

Hot House Exclusive Kent North - In Memoriam

I met Kent North only long enough to shoot a few pictures at a Hot House booth somewhere, but I really didn't know him. It's a sad loss, and I don't have the right words. Read Hot House's official obituary to get the proper details.

San Francisco, CA (July 5, 2007) - Hot House Entertainment announced today it had learned that Lifetime Exclusive and dear friend Kent North died on July 4th of an apparent drug overdose. "We are all shocked and deeply saddened," said Hot House President Steven Scarborough. "Our deepest sympathy goes out to Kent's friends and family, especially his lover Lloyd."

Kent became part of the Hot House family in 2004 when he debuted in Handpacked III: Jampacked. He was immediately signed to an exclusive contract and went on to star in 13 additional titles, including At Your Service where he earned trophies for Best Solo Performance at both the 2007 GAYVN and Grabby Awards. Kent's stature as a huge industry star was further recognized this year with an invitation to co-host the 2007 Grabby Awards in Chicago.

In addition to being a consummate, award-winning performer, Kent and his lover Lloyd joined Hot House for several high-profile events every year including IML and the Folsom Street Fair. Kent often made appearances in his role as a Hot House Exclusive throughout Europe. He was always eager to pose for photos and extend his kindness to everyone who approached him. Kent loved his fans as much as they loved him and during events he was always the last model to finish signing.

A graduate with honors from the Royal Naval Academy, Kent displayed gentlemanly grace and charm at all times. His well-mannered English demeanor was enhanced by a wicked sense of humor and a devilish grin. Kent's warmth and genuine kindness will be missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.

Anyone wishing to send cards or condolences to his lover Lloyd should address them to Hot House Entertainment, 1433 17th Street, San Francisco, CA 94107.

Kent's complete videography is below, with direct links to the movies available by Pay Per View at Maleflixxx.tv:

San Francisco Pride Photos 2007

Once again, after a long night of partying on Pink Saturday, we slept in late on Pride Sunday and missed most of the gay parade here in San Francisco. Which is fine by me - no rushing around hungover applying makeup on Muni. Been there - done that. After you've seen about 25 or more gay parades, you get the gist of it. The gay community has been pushing "diversity" and splintering us all into smaller and smaller niches, it's hard to tell what it is we have in common anymore - except for our universal appreciation of hot shirtless guys. Wanting sex with attractive men is about all we can agree on. Oh, except for the non-G parts of LGBTQ...

If it weren't for me forcing myself to take pictures and archiving them in the VIP Room of Lavender Lounge, I would be another old curmudgeon complaining about snarled traffic. Having a purpose for attending Pride makes it more than worthwhile for me. There are so many incredibly handsome men running around (mostly shirtless!) that you never see any other time, I want to take a little bit of their souls home with me, even if it is just as a photo. Just look at these sample shots! If I weren't already a big flaming faggot, some of them might turn me gay!

As usual, my friends and I all hang out at Faerie Village cause it's the best place to be on Pride day - but don't tell anybody! The word has already gotten out that sex often happens so the creeps have invaded the space reserved for freaks. Is there a difference between creeps and freaks, you ask? Well, that overly tan guy with the hair weave that jerks off all day long at Folsom Fair (YOU know the one...) has apparently discovered Faerie Village. He put on a show for the crowd, whether anyone wanted to see it or not. Well, there goes the neighborhood. (P.S. I heard that the tan guy has a website now and hired some guy to videotape his cum shot. Yikes. Who invited him to be in porn, too?)

But, remember, these are just a small sample of photos to wet your appetite. I have a dynamite slideshow of about 500 shots from San Francisco Pride 2007 and Pink Saturday in the VIP Room of Lavender Lounge. Plus, I recently went back and added galleries from the past few years of Pride as well.

Pink Saturday 2007 Photos

Pink Saturday is the un-official street party in the Castro the night before Pride in San Francisco. Why is it "un-official"? Well, the City trusts the Sisters enough to cut them some slack with permits and fees here and there, but at the same time, they don't want the event to turn into the madness that occurs in the same block during Halloween. (On Halloween last year, 9 people got shot.) On the behest of the mayor's office, the Sisters pleaded with the local media to go along with a media blackout of the event prior to Pink Saturday.

Apparently, the Bay Area Reporter ran out of controversial muckraking stories just prior to Pride, so they tried to stir up the shit by running a front page story ABOUT the media blackout. Hey, thanks alot.

Pink Saturday does not need publicity. Thousands of people know that it's going to happen, and those that don't - they should stay home. But what about the tabloid journalism of stirring up controversy just for the sake of stirring it up? Do I want a local publication that questions authority and digs deep into stories? Yes, of course. I don't want another bar rag that just lists events and kisses the asses of whoever buys the most ads. The BAR has always been unafraid of taking political risks, but I just think they ran out of local scandals and needed to start one. Whatever.

Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the controversial, challenging and beautiful photos I shot of Pink Saturday 2007 in the Castro district of San Francisco. I think these three shots pretty much summed up the experience of Pink Saturday - especially the last one. Get a VIP Membership to Lavender Lounge and view the entire set of photos, plus hundreds of pictures of more hot guys on Pride Sunday.
