AMG Dirty Joke Contest
About a month ago, JC Adams was the first to announce Carnaval as AMG’s latest foray into hardcore Brazilian porn. At the time, he wrote that the set up to the film’s final scene sounded like, well, a joke. The scene in question is a masked ménage a trois between three Brazilian studs disguised as a duck, a gorilla, and George W. Bush. Admittedly, we set ourselves up for the jokes. “A duck, a gorilla, and George W. Bush walk into a bar...” “What do a duck, a gorilla and George W. Bush have in common?” The possibilities really are endless, which is why we’ve created the Carnaval Poke ‘n’ Joke Contest.
Here’s How it Works:
Starting Tuesday, April 1, 2008 contestants are encouraged to submit their best dirty jokes about the current President of the United States to pokenjoke@athleticmodelguild.com. As the jokes roll in, we’ll post the best and worst to the AMG blog along with commentary from our panel of judges. We will accept entries up until Thursday, May 1, 2008, at which time we here at AMG will narrow the competition down to the top 10 jokes.
The 10 finalists will then be judged on a list of three criteria by a team of the dirtiest online personalities. Joanne Cachapero from Xbiz, John D. at Fleshbot, Heather Riley from Box Magazine, Jack Shamama at Gay Porn Blog, Mark Adams of Videoview, and Lavender Lounge over lord, Mark Kliem (that's ME!) will submit their individual assessments of each entry based on the following criteria: laugh-ability, filthiness, and quote-ability. Jokes will be rated on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the highest. Scores will then be tallied here at AMG headquarters and the winner will be announced on the AMG blog one week after the contest ends.
All entries that refer to George W Bush and have a decidedly filthy spin will be considered. If you fancy yourself a real funny guy, feel free to up the ante and write one that uses all three of our masked men ¬– a duck, a gorilla, and George W. Bush. If your joke is selected as one of the top ten, we’ll give you an immediate 5-point advantage. Send all entries to pokenjoke@athleticmodelguild.com, with your full name (no pseudonyms please), mailing address, preferred e-mail address, and answer.
Prizes:
1st Place: A signed copy of Carnaval, a signed Carnaval poster, and the entire AMG Brazil library (13 DVDS in total).
2nd Place: A signed copy of Carnaval, a signed Carnaval poster, and a copy of the GAYVN award winning, Amazônia: Capture & Release.
3rd Place: A signed copy of Carnaval.

Sex In The City With Bea Arthur
When they did the last season of Sex In the City, critics said the girls were all getting a little too long in the tooth for the "Sex" part. Well, someone went with that premise and cast Bea Arthur as Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) along with other old "classics" Sally Struthers, Katherine Hellman, and Charlotte Raye. There's also a surprise cameo as Mr. Big (who knew he was still alive...)
Watch for the Metamucil Cosmo.

Easter In The Park 2008 - Hunky Jesus and Shirtless Blasphemy
I forgot how many years the Sisters have been doing their big public Easter celebrations, but this one was certainly BIG. I have never seen Dolores Park so full of people. Not for SF Mime Troupe, not for political demonstrations, not even the entire time I lived on 20th Street overlooking the park from my bay window. Every inch of the park was jammed with people having a good time.
I case you're wondering, no, I did not put on warpaint myself. I tried that a couple years ago, and did not enjoy it in the least. Public manifestation is for other Sisters, not me anymore. My talents and interests are best utilized behind the scenes. My contribution to the event is to photograph the nuns who ARE brave enough to put themselves out on the front lines, and believe me, it does take a lot of courage. Plus, by being unencumbered and more mobile in civilian clothes, I am able to get better shots - especially candid shots of cute guys with their shirts off.
My other contribution this year was assisting a camera crew from the PBS show, "In The Life". Mark Huestis, local film maker and event producer, was hired to produce a segment on the Sisters, and decided to hold off till Easter to get the best footage. The "In The Life" footage is expected to air sometime in October.
I also interacted with a film crew from Logo TV that is doing a reality show about the gay basketball team, the Rocketdogs. They got footage of the team playing a game at the park and followed up up to the festivities. Unfortunately, being bigger network show, they were hampered with having to get performance releases on everybody, so they didn't bother getting much footage of the Sisters themselves.
It was a beautiful day and pleasantly warm but the sun was still beating down. I wish I could have gotten up on stage and announced that we need, "less shirts - more skin!", but it WAS a family event...
The Easter Bonnet contest was won by a really cute muscle boy who went with the Easter-inspired theme of "GYM Bunny". His tall, trim physique actually won him the prize, but not without the added humor of his artfully designed hat adorned with Muscle Milk, bodybuilding suppliments and styrofoam dumb bells.
Everyone's favorite part of the Sisters' Easter In The Park is always the Hunky Jesus Contest. Every year we are amazed by what the kids come up with for new and improved blasphemy. Some of the standouts were the guys who confused the theme of the contest and thought it was "Hunky Cheeses" instead of "Hunky Jesus", the identical twin Jesuses, the Double Cross Jesus (two guys, two attached pink crosses), and Easter with the Sisters wouldn't be complete without at least one Naked Jesus, and we had two this year.
One group effort had a couple yummy bubble butt Jesuses (or Jesi) in matching rainbow jockey shorts that flashed the audience. They were adorable, and my favorite act, but if I am not mistaken, I think they were the same group that splattered me with fake blood! Both cameras got stained, plus my outfit will probably have to be thrown away. Like I said, I'm not sure it was the same group, but their "act" did not make it to the final round despite how cute they were.
The winner of the Hunky Jesus contest was called Michaelangelo's Jesus, who also had a very cute butt, with plenty of crack showing. Plus, he and could do the splits. Another bit of trivia about Michaelangelo's Jesus is that he lost to Pogo Stick Jesus last year, but my friend Eric took him home and had sex with Jesus - on Easter!
I am sure you horny guys reading this gay porn blog don't give a damn about seeing pictures of drag nuns, and certainly wouldn't pay to see them, so I made a special gallery of photos with JUST the cute shirtless guys and put it in the VIP Room of Lavender Lounge. You can join for as little as $12.95 for a week's worth of Easter "baskets" and all the gay porn you can eat.

Bareback Video Harm Reduction Suggestions
Sister Zsa Zsa, The Porno Nun, speaks to the gay porn industry on the subject of barebacking. It's not the usual safe sex / condom-only message sent out by the Sisters or safe sex proponents, but there are a lot of stubborn people who won't listen until you can find a way to meet on common ground. I think there are opportunities to change the behavior of bareback studios and the customers who buy their products, but we speak to them on their terms without demonizing them. Please leave your comments.
More episodes of The Epistle are available at LavenderLoungeVideoBlog.com. If you would like to share these videos or post them to your website or blog, the embed code and direct link code is readily available at Lavender Lounge Video Blog.

Mark Kliem to Speak on Panel About Barebacking
Every spring, the adult online industry meets for their favorite convention of the year, the Phoenix Forum. I hadn't planned on going, but last week I received a call inviting me to be on a panel discussing the subject of barebacking in the gay porn industry.
I really shook things up at a couple recent conventions by getting the gay porn industry to start talking about risky behavior on porn websites and in porn movies. Nobody wanted to talk about it, no one had any statistics about sales, and there is still a very distinct line drawn between bareback studios and condom-only studios.
You can read my earlier blog items related to my harm reduction and safe sex messages to the gay porn industry:
- GayVN Summit in February 2007
-Sister Zsa Zsa's Epistle To The Gay Porn Industry in October 2007
-My presentation of The Epistle at the GayVN Retreat also in October 2007.
As result of shaking things up, I got nominated for "Most Interesting Person of the Year" by Vidio View, and nominated for "GLBT Online Company of the Year" by Xbiz Magazine.
I think I can be safe to say "I made a difference" and possibly changed the industry. Like I said, in all the porn conventions I attended, the word "bareback" was never uttered till I brought it up. Whether or not my efforts had anything to do with it, here are some changes that have occurred this year:
-At least one barebacking studio announced they will be testing their models.
-Chi Chi LaRue created a beautiful safe sex Public Service Announcement, SafeSexIsHotSex.com".
-Steve Cruz, Raging Stallion's Man of the Year, has started a safe sex website, HowIRoll.info.
-The first ever panel on the subject of Barebacking in gay porn is scheduled at the Phoenix Forum next week.
-Just Us Boys Magazine gave a half page blurb on Sister Zsa Zsa's Epistle (see above).

Michael Lucas Sends Souvenirs From Israel
You might have read my earlier report of Michael Lucas visiting Israel and making a big splash in the mainstream media while he was there. He made it back safe and sound and sent me a package of souvenirs from his trip - a picture frame, a handwritten note on a postcard from modern Jerusalem, and the picture you see on the right. It is a vintage postcard of what looks like a very fey Egyptian or Moroccan boy with a flower behind his ear. (It looks disturbingly similar to Jake Deckard, too.)
Micheal's note said it was from the 1960's, but I think it's much older. There was also another greeting card made from a very old photo of an even younger Middle Eastern boy with giant hoop earrings and a scarf over his head. (Looks a little too young to put on this site, even though it's just a face shot...)
I wonder, just how gay are the men in the Middle East? I remember a joke at the beginning of the Afghan War that went something like, "Even birds flying over Kabul have to cover their ass with one wing."
I assume that Lucas shot some gay porn footage while in Israel, and I look forward to seeing more fresh new models from all over the Middle East, a very foreign part of the world to most Americans. Taboos always make sex hotter, and gay Middle Eastern men, especially having sex in uniform, would be a big turn-on.
In the meantime, Lucas Entertainment also sent me Budapest V, with the Mangiatti Twins (I love twins!), and Auditions 22, with local San Francisco boy, Wolf Hudson. Please buy some movies or Video on Demand so I can take a fabulous trip, too!

Six Pack Bellies 2 - Free Video Sample
Take a look at the video collage of images I found on public websites with guys showing their six pack abs. Totally hot! Most are so-called straight bodybuilders that have some sort of desire to show their wares to other so-called straight bodybuilders - to get "feedback" on their progress. Yeah, whatever. It's some of the hottest non-porn porn I've ever seen.
This is just a sample of what's inside the Lavender Lounge VIP Room. Sign up now and check out more belly shots and some more video collages like this one.

French Safe Sex Humorous Webcast
In response to the growing number of bareback videos being produced, especially in Europe, a French gay porn production company has put together a series of safe sex videos in an unusual format - Comedic Mini Soap Opera. I've been thinking of doing the same thing, but with my limited resources lately, I can't just drop everything and dive into another big project. I'm glad they are doing it, though. We need as much of this material as possible in order to get the attention of guys making bad choices.
In the first episode, we see a common example of a guy who just got dumped by a boyfriend. He tries to cover the pain of rejection by engaging in a lot of anonymous sex in back rooms. His friend the bartender expresses concern and offers alternatives and condoms.
It's goofy and amateurish, but the French guys are ooh la la.
The French Connection exclusively distributed line CITEBEUR (“Wassup Bro”, “Black Street: Muscle”, “Gay Arab Club”) has posted the first episode of its web series "Boris et Nadir" which is already drawing massive attention in France and will be released on French TV.
"Boris et Nadir" features Citebeur stars and promotes safe sex within the gay community.
Episode 2 will be released on 21st of March and Episode 3 on 28th of March.
The next Citebeur DVD release, “Wassup Bro 2” will ship 04/25.

Frat Boys College Men Gay Porn Movies Featured
MaleFlixxx.tv is featuring gay porn movies starring college guys that supposedly belong to campus fraternities. I've always wondered why membership in a social drinking club makes guys "hotter". There have been a million times more sex in gay porn movies that feature frat house shenanigans than could possibly happen in real life. If only it were so easy to just join a club, become a sex object, engage in homoerotic activities, make a movie, sell 10,000 copies. I don't get it.

I Was An Extra On the Harvey Milk Movie
Last Sunday I got a chance to be an extra in the new upcoming movie about Harvey Milk. It's directed by Gus Van Sant, and the production has been a buzz around town for months. This was probably the last big call for crowd scenes, and since I missed the other opportunities, I figured I better take advantage of it. I am so glad I did! This will be a day I will remember forever.
I moved to San Francisco in 1981 when San Francisco was still stinging from the events of the Milk / Moscone murders. By then, though, the police had been significantly tamed and the confrontations following the riots had all been put to rest. It was still a party town, though, and the fashions were still flamboyant, but moving toward the conservative Reagan style 1980s.
Last month I got a call from my old friend Danny Nicholetta (who was one of Harvey Milk's boy toys, btw) that the production would need some "leather daddies" for group scenes. I didn't get a callback for the scenes involving candle light marches, but I did get a call to be in the scene recreating the 1978 Gay Pride Parade.
Sean Penn is playing Harvey Milk and the first scene involved him coming out on stage giving his rousing speech that started with, "My name is Harvey Milk and I am here to recruit you!", a phrase aimed right at his anti-gay opponents John Briggs and Anita Bryant. The crowd scene was there to react with cheers and love, which didn't need any coaxing at all. We did it over and over, with 100-150 paid extras in front, but a thousand or more unpaid people from the community showing up just to support the movie. Each time the enthusiasm did not wane. In fact, for a few takes they were shooting with audio, they actually asked us to tone it down.
I arrived at 8:30 am and when they sent me to hair and makeup, the first thing they did was give me a comb-over! Then the make up artist said, "You need sideburns!" Ironically, I had only shaved off my sideburns recently after wearing them for about 18 years. The irony is, I shaved them off because they were all white, but when the assistant brought her a pair, the makeup artist said, "No, get the whiter ones!"
The extras (or "background") was divided into groups of leather daddies, lesbians, drag queens, Castro boys, media, politicians, and cops. Some were there for fun or supporting the community, but most of them were serious "actors" that show up for every audition. To make conversation, one of the cops (who might have been a real cop) asked me if I was "playing gay" today. I told him, "I play gay EVERY day. And one of these days I'll get it right, too."
After the scene in front of the stage, we also shot Harvey riding in the parade. They recreated the famous shot of him riding on the sunroof of a Volvo with a lesbian driver, with the gay marching band following. (Most of the members of the band looked like original members, too!)
We were sent indoors about 2:30 pm and waited another hour for lunch to be served. Lunch came and went, and I hung out with some faeries, drag queens and another leather daddy playing Scrabble and Rummy. Three hours went by and we still didn't know if we could leave yet or not. Finally, the leather daddies and the drag queens got released at 6:00 pm, but the rest had to change costumes and get ready for another scene.
It was an exhausting day, but I was thrilled to have been there! In the photos, you'll see shots of Sean Penn, Gus Van Sant (in black tshirt), and Cleve Jones (creator of the AIDS quilt) in the pink triangle shirt. I could have shot more, but I had to follow orders.
You will also see a shot of a nun on roller skates. I pointed him out to Danny Nicholetta that the Sisters hadn't started until 1979. He acknowledged they had discussed that issue in pre-production, but he said they chose to stretch reality a bit because the iconography of The Sisters is so strongly associated with the gay rights movement, it should be included. Plus, he said there actually was one rogue nun who used to run around the Castro in habit and he has photos of him going back as far as 1974.
I'm going to convince the rest of the nuns that this minor mix up of dates is not worth debating. In the scene, the nun rolls right up to Harvey's car and hands him flowers. You can't BUY that kind of exposure!

Euro Hairy Muscle Twink Previews
I hired a photographer from Poland and placed my first order for a hardcore photo and video shoot. The photographer came to me with good references and I like the work I have seen that he has done for other clients. Lavender Lounge will have exclusive rights to his photos and the first package of video and stills is on its way right now. The photos you see are just a preview.
The guy with the delicious hairy chest is named Marek and the muscle boy on the bottom is Michel. I don't know anything more about them, but I requested some background information about the two Euro boys to make my blog entries here at Lavender Lounge Blog more interesting.
Lavender Lounge VIP members - hold on to your hats! I'll be adding the full photo set and video clips of these hot Polish boys fucking, sucking, rimming and what looks like a facial cum shot to the VIP Room the moment the package arrives.
If you are not a VIP Member of Lavender Lounge, so ahead and sign up now to avoid the rush!

Behind The Scenes - Hotter Than Hell - Raging Stallion
On Saturday morning I showed up at the Powerhouse Bar to be an extra at a Raging Stallion shoot for their new movie, "Hotter Than Hell". It was written by and stars Steve Cruz, Raging Stallion Man of the Year. I shot a little bit of video for Lavender Lounge Video Blog to give you a taste of what it is like on a real gay porn set.
The scene we were shooting shows Steve Cruz getting drunk and propositioned by the devil, played by Ricky Sinz. They needed some guys to just hang out at the bar and pretend to be drinking, so given the amount of time I spend at the Powerhouse doing REAL drinking, it was not a stretch.
I've been on plenty of porn shoot sets, so there was no surprises. But, there were so many hot guys, it was hard to tell who were the porn stars and who were the extras. Naturally, some got into the spirit and helped spice up the scene a bit, but mostly it was just two hours of fun.
Watch for "Hotter Than Hell" coming soon from Raging Stallion, and don't forget to check out Steve Cruz's safe sex campaign on his new site, How I Roll (howiroll.info)

Porno For Real Estate Investors
After working in the gay porn industry for over twelve years, my habits of viewing gay porn for pure pleasure have changed. Prior to working in the porn business (which was also before the internet caught on) I had a dozen or so dog-eared stroke magazines and a couple bootleg VHS tapes. That was it.
Today, I get a couple new gay porn movies in the mail almost every day and I am obligated to keep up with dozens of gay porn web sites that I promote. It's now my "job" to look at big cocks and gaping assholes. So unlike other guys who discretely pull up a naughty sex site in their cubicle during coffee break, or at home on their own time, for me, gay sex is the LAST thing I want to look at when I've punched out.
So what is the "forbidden fruit" that I look at when I want to get away from the daily grind of gay porn? I look at real estate listing. Sad, I know. But, to me, the fantasy of making "obscene" amounts of money buying and selling real estate is a much bigger turn-on than the fantasy of some porn star's dick up my ass.
My real estate fantasies are not that far from reality either. Until this recent mortgage mess, the equity generated from merely owning a home in the San Francisco Bay Area pretty much equaled what I was earning by "working" in the gay porn industry. If it weren't for this recent set back, I'd be getting closer to being out of porn altogether someday.
As much as I hate to do it, I'm going to be cashing out of my first investment property soon - at a net loss. The timing is not optimal, but it's the right thing to do right now for other reasons. If you're looking for a super cute little Victorian on quiet, tree lined street in Berkeley at a distress sale price, hit me up! (Photo is of the house in question. Click for slideshow. MLS listing coming soon!) By the way, it's within walking distance from the notorious Berkeley gay bath house, Steamworks! Just think of all the gay college jocks walking around in towels!
In my "Porno for Real Estate Investors" cruising time today, I did get some good news about my homestead property, though. Carol Lloyd's "Surreal Estate" column in the SF Chronicle is often the cerebral jerk off material for my
Real Estate Fetish. Today's column gave me new hope that I made the right decision in buying this single family home (that I can't afford) in the core of San Francisco's booming SOMA district.
In today's column, Lloyd interviewed Richard Florida, author of "Who's Your City," and "The Rise of the Creative Class". Florida laid the sociological foundation for an idea many of us in the Bay Area had already understood intuitively: that creative people like artists, scientists and entrepreneurs — not big corporations, government offices or generic infrastructure — fuel economic development.
Lloyd writes: The region scores high on his much derided and adored "gay index" — a measurement from his earlier work based on the association between high gay populations and high economic vitality. In his new book, Florida incorporates the "gay effect" in his best places rankings as well.
San Francisco made Florida's Top Five cities lists for all recent college grads, gay and lesbian mid-career professionals, all retirees and all empty nesters. San Jose ended up on the Top Five list for families with children. And in the small city categories, Santa Rosa (meaning the whole metropolitan area) ended up on best lists for gay retirees, singles and gay and lesbian singles, all empty nesters and families with children.
So what does this book tell us about our storied real estate market? "I recently spoke to Joe Gyourko (an economist at Wharton School of Business), probably the premier real estate economist in the country, for a couple of hours about this," said Florida. "It's not that superstar cities don't go up and down, it's that they are more resilient than other regions."
But here is the one quote from author Richard Florida that is going to fuel my kinky homo-homeowner fetish through the next few tough years, "If I had to give advice, I would say to buy single-family homes closer to the core, not in the outlying areas where the more affordable housing is.The really knowledge-driven people have to be more effective, so they have to use their time more efficiently, so center locations have become more valuable."
Okay, it's going to be tough, but the writing is on the wall. Dump the suburban rental house on some lefty granola yuppie breeders and focus on the downtown (wet) dream home. Wait out the downturn, accumulate some "gay effect" equity, and just as the market starts to pick up, I'll snatch some bargain basement suburban deals to flip.
Real estate fantasies give me a boner.

Chris Steele Named Partner at Jet Set
If you ever thought Chris Steele might be husband material, it's a sure bet now. Not only is gay porn director Chris Steele a big, hairy, muscle bear daddy with a huge cock - he's soon going to be rich, too! Jet Set has been so pleased with his work that they decided to make him a partner in the company.
Jet Set / Marina Pacific owner Nick Boyias said, “When I first met Chris I had a gut reaction that he had genuine raw talent,” noting that Steele “loves porn, understands the industry and knows what gay men want to see.”
Boyias said he is also pleased with Steele’s keen casting eye and masterful production skills, revealing for the first time that every one of Steele’s movies for Jet Set Men so far have been profitable, even though none of them has been on the shelves for even a year.
Overall, Boyias noted, there has been a radical change at Jet Set:
“From a sleepy, on again-off again operation, with an occasional release to throw into the Marina Pacific distribution mix, Jet Set is now producing non-stop hits on a monthly basis since Chris took over. He has been working tirelessly not only to produce hit videos, but also let the world know just how terrific our videos are.”
Jet Set sales data bear this out. On Fire!, the Steele-Chad Donovan co-directed blockbuster released at the end of January, is already in the black even though it was one of the most expensive movies in the Company’s history. In addition, sales on the Jet Set Men website exploded in the last week after Jet Set Exclusive Aaron James was featured on MTV’s True Life series, an appearance Steele has nurtured for months.
Steele himself said he was “thrilled with the confidence that Nick has placed in me by making me a part owner of the Company.”
“I feel like I’ve now found my professional home!,” he added.

The Sisters Breast Cancer Event - Benefit For The Boob
Any opportunity to mention the word boob, boobs, breast, tits or female mammaries on this gay porn site can only help raise my search ranking in Google. But, the real reason I choose women's boobs as the subject of today's blog is to help out Novice Sister Sarah Fem and her "Benefit For The Boob" party yesterday. She helped raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness and did outreach to the lesbian community for once. Not only that, but the event was held at very old gay bar here in town that nobody seems to have heard of!
Wild Side West is a neighborhood bar in Bernal Heights that doesn't announce itself as a lesbian bar, but it is. And it's really got the feel of old San Francisco bars - eclectic stuff all over the walls of a funky old Victorian building, a rambling overgrown garden, old hippies playing guitar, along with a colorful bunch of Sisters, performers and groovy dykes.
It was a bright sunny Sunday in the sleepy community of Bernal Heights, but the gaggle of colorful nuns on the sidewalk for "Benefit For The Boob" generated a lot of buzz from the passers by. I had no idea there were so many dykes strolling around Bernal Heights! They were so thrilled to have a big, rocking event in the neighborhood, I saw people making donations at the door as they were just walking by! What a fun event!
I have some pictures from Benefit For The Boob at SisterZsaZsa.com, and the video above can be copied and shared from Lavender Lounge Video Blog. Watch it here for footage of chubby burlesque strippers and flaming boobs!
