The most exciting part of the Hookies, the second International Escort Awards show, sponsored by RentBoy.com, was that it included a lot of porn models as winners, and it was mercifully short! Chi Chi LaRue and some of the porn elite attended the show at Rage in West Hollywood, but the real party was afterward at furniture fashionista Bobby Trendy's place on La Cienega. One driver thought Paris Hilton was walking into the shop and was so excited it caused a minor fender-bender (no, it was a fabu drag diva, that's all!).
Although many of the nominees and winners at these awards were not porn-related (not yet, anyway!), many were, such as the aggressive 240-pound 6-foot-6 Diesel Washington, the Best Fetish Escort who's an exclusive from Titan Media and who likes water sports and pig bottoms - he beat out Jake Deckard! Arpad Miklos won the Best Porn Star Escort, and anyone who's met this muscle man (or seen any of his 65-plus videos) knows he's a sweetheart behind that gruff exterior. The Best Escort Website went to Club Dean, featuring Dean Coxx, who's Straight College Men 23 won Best Amateur Title at the GAYVNs two years ago. The Biggest Dick award naturally went to 11-incher Barrett Long, who is, fittingly, from Falcon's Big Dick Club. This is an interesting and fun awards show and certainly prime picking for new potential stars, but many of them don't ever want to become porn stars (imagine that!) as they have their own fame on the Internet...
Some of the best porn gossip was always on ATKOL, and some of the historic and hysteric items (some even including moi) were and are posted there and go back nearly two decades. Nothing is better at tracking gay history than a bunch of gossip, and most of it turns out to be based in truth. Now, ATKOL has joined GayDVD.com at ATKOL.GayDVD.com and is now jointly owned by Raging Stallion Studios and GunzBlazing.com. The ATKOL owners have known Chris Ward at Raging Stallion for a long time, and they plan to keep it a vibrant place for devoted hardcore fans. As Ward points out, "It can get pretty vicious, but, hell, that's what chat rooms are all about! ATKOL is more than just a store or a website, it is a true on-line community. We look forward to working together for years to come!" By the way, people may not know it, but ATKOL started with a flavored gel product to place on condoms to make them taste better for oral sex, and so A TASTY KIND OF LOVE is how the website got its name....
Jet Set Men has 25 guys and five hours of steam slapped together on two discs, which compile the 19 sex scenes from the award-winning "gaytime drama" series Wet Palms, much of which was shot at the San Vicente Inn. So instead of scouring through the nine DVDs, it's all now here in this new package, cleverly tagged: "Hot Sex. No Drama." The guys getting it on include Gabriel Knight, Jason Ridge, Bret Wolfe, Zak Spears, Barrett Long and many others....
Lots of bears are spotted on the East Coast these days, especially since BearFilms.com made a road trip from Florida to Maryland and took along their camera. They found a dozen horny bears willing to be videotaped getting it on from Panama City to Atlanta and more. These are guys who aren't doing it to be stars; they're just along for the ride....
Jochen Hick, who has interviewed many gay porn stars in the past and directed the award-winning Sex/Life in L.A. documentary was at the Berlin International Film Festival with his latest, East/West - Sex & Politics, a doc exploring the clamp-down on gay pride parade attempts over the last two years in Moscow. The right-wing conservatives forbidding the parade even raised concern from the outgoing president Vladimir Putin, and a few porn stars and companies in Europe have tried to help....
Luscious Latino Ricardo Onca, who shows his best in the GAYVN Award–winning Amazônia: Capture and Release, was named the Athletic Model Guild's Brasilian of the Year. He's 24, lives in Rio de Janeiro and wants to work behind the camera, too, saying, "I love everything about this business. If I could, I'd be a star forever, but I know that's not a possibility, so I'm trying to build my skills behind the camera. Who knows, maybe one of these days my credits won't all be for acting." Company owner Dennis Bell discovered Ricardo as a waiter in Ipanema and put him in six AMG titles, beginning with Suruba: Tropicus. Bell said the exclusive model "hams it up for the camera." Onca is now working as a grip with hopes of directing a title soon. "He has been the most recognizable face to come out of our studio in the past year," Bell said. "Along with becoming a recognizable name in the industry, he's been the most dedicated of our models, both in front of and behind the camera." Last year, the honor was bestowed on identical twins Caio and Carlos Carvalho....
Porn cheerleader Will Clark, a star who turned successfully to fund-raising and promotions, is kicking off a new flurry of events. Already his Porno Bingo is a big hit in Manhattan, benefiting the New York City Gay Men's Chorus (Titan's Damien Crosse from the award-winning Folsom Filth auctioned the jockstrap right off his body!). A record-breaking $1,186 was raised. As for other porn fund-raisers, he said, "Bad Boys on the Hudson 5 is slated for July 20. I have a half dozen local stars booked already and we're raising funds for Team Eagle, which raises money for the gay and lesbian center here in New York." Will tells me he's otherwise been lying low and has a new mainstream job as well as a new boyfriend (a makeup artist), and he's consolidated all his websites (WillClarkUSA.com, Cockring.org, BadBoysPoolParty.com and WCPresents.com) and four newsletters all into one blog, WillClarkWorld.com, which is more manageable, I imagine! He also has an "Ask Will Clark" column where he answers fan questions about the industry, his work, sex and relationships. Send your own Q's to [email protected]. Alas, though, he says his laptop crashed recently and he's lost a lot of work and addresses, so that set him back a bit....
Speaking of magazines, Cybersocket is now stocking its magazine in Houston, Milwaukee, Ft. Lauderdale and New York. The decade-old porn-friendly Cybersocket Web Magazine is now carried in 49 different cities in 28 states as well as two Canadian provinces. How great is that?
