Sin City contract girls Katja Kean and Linda Thoren

anticipated Scandinavian sizzle to the recent Cannes Film Festival, stealing the spotlight from the other girls in attendance, even the Americans, and dazzling the jaded European media. Both Danish and German TV did features on Kean, and RTL, the German television station, followed her around the festival, accompanied by a videographer on roller blades, for a profile that will air in the future. Linda Thoren posed for photos, and in her spare time, hooked up with Chuck Martino to lend her presence to another one of his features. Hot Video magazine pursued both girls aggressively and did a photo shoot of them to accompany their coverage of the annual event.

"They were both were very well received by everyone," said Josie Faria-Snyder, Sin City's Director of International Sales. "We were very proud of them. The press fell in love with them and couldn't get enough of either. We are overjoyed to have Katja and Linda under contract."

Both Kean and Thoren will be in Los Angeles in July to attend the party Sin City will be holding to celebrate our new offices and to appear at the Sin City Booth at VSDA. Each will perform in two separate features during their visit. Thoren will appear in Midas Touch. Kean will appear in Michael Raven's big budget epic Underworld. In the meantime, Kean can be seen in the July, 1999, High Society in a photo layout shot by Suze Randall.

Sin City also offers congratulations to Kate Moore on her Best New European Starlet Award at the 1999 Hot D'Or Awards. The brunette sex kitten appears on the company's recently-released Body Language. and her photo graces the box cover.

Tawni Lyons is back in Houston after a whirlwind video performing gig in LA. She'll be back in LA in several weeks. In the course of her stay, Lyons had been linked, romantically, to Johnny Toxic.

Lyons: "You know that Big Top-thing that got raided? [Last weekend.] I was supposed to shoot for them. David Christopher called me three days before it and asked me to come shoot for them. I was gone already. Then I read your site and said, thank God, somebody's looking out for me. I'm home, finally, then I'll be back out to California working my ass off."

G. Ross: "You got to tell me, what was with the Johnny Toxic-thing?"

Lyons: "I don't know. Can you hit me with a frying pan when I get back there? It was just my alter-ego going crazy or some shit. But I've been travelling with a girl, she goes by the name of Pantrixxx. She's really nice. She just got into the business, has done eight or nine movies. So we've been travelling together, and I've been helping her out with a lot of work. She was the one who said why with the whole Johnny Toxic-thing. Everybody makes mistakes."

Lyons appears in a GM Video with Toxic which was shot at Loughlin, Nevada.

Lyons: "We went out to shoot for GM Video. It was fun. That was the weekend of the Loughlin Bike Run. Maybe the second weekend of May. He got pissed off because everybody was asking if he was my bouncer. Hey, where else can you go to the Flamingo Hilton and rip your clothes off and not get in trouble? By the way, my tan is awesome, I'm way darker than you, and I know it.

G. Ross: "I don't think so."

Lyons: "I do."

G. Ross: "I don't think so. This past weekend was a good weekend."

Lyons: "Is this going on geneross.com? I don't know where he's [Toxic} at anymore. I don't care where he's at anymore, but I've got a few good stories I can tell you."

Tom Byron to Do Brazilian Whack Attack Series

Rob Black & Co., just returned from Brazil.

Black: "We had a big trade show. We were right next to Buttman's booth. We had all the girls there, and they put on live shows and stuff and made a huge impact. We were on Brazilian TV. We made some new deals. We upped our releases in Brazil to six a month. Tom Byron is starting a video live over there: Tom Byron's Brazilian [fucking] Whack Attack. He and Kristi Myst have to go back there the end of July. Basically, every six weeks they'll be in Brazil. I won't be there. I can't leave the fucking office, but Tommy will be there with the girls. At the end of July, Kristi and Jessica Darlin are going with Mr. Byron. It was a good trip. We shot a movie, but the business was good.

We're making waves there, fucking sticking it up Buttman's ass. Our partner's doing all these big billboard ads. We got the Evil Empire there on the ropes. We're giving them a fucking beatin'. Just like we're going to give them a beatin' here in the states. That's my next target, fuck Vivid and VCA. They're no fun to go after anymore and Zane and all them 'cause we already beat them. Our fuckin' competition is Evil Angel. If we can't beat a company that's founded and run by a bunch of old fuckin' men... do you want to watch porno that your father makes? It's the grandfathers over there...Randy West, the oldest man in porn. So that's my new fuckin' blood.

Then they got that Apocalypse deal. John Stagliano had to go out and get a complete fuckin' rip off of ME! He's in my sights now in the states. They're goin' down. We're going on a worldwide destruction of the Evil Empire because all empires must be burned down eventually. They all fall. We started in Brazil. The wave starts in Brazil. Now the people in the states are going to get a taste of...whaa...Joey Sal-vera, c'mon? Randy West, c'mon? Bruce Seven? I'm going back to fuckin' New York and give my grandfather a camera and wheel his ass around and have him make porno. I'm fired up.

And we're starting up a magazine in August. We'll have a magazine that goes to all our retail stores and all our people every month. It'll be the month's new releases, interviews, hardcore pictures, the whole thing. We're doing it in Brazil and getting it printed in Brazil in English. They'll be shipped up here for distribution. This is for the consumer and the distributor. It's point-of-purchase material. Instead of cluttering the market with flyers to distributors that they just fuckin' wipe their asses with, they're going to get a nice glossy magazine that's got pictures of people buttfucking. We're going to have a gapes' page, the best gapes of Extreme.

According to Shelle Pearson, John T. Bone's former sales manager, she left the company Friday to take a job with Hot Chicks, a one-stop. Pearson who first got into the business as a performer and went under the name Bobbie Lee, said she's also planning a comeback under a new stage name. Pearson and Kendra Jade are now rooming together.

Pearson's leaving comes as a complete surprise to John T. Bone.

Bone: "Really? This is all news to me. I'm staggered. This is the first I'm hearing of this. I got a call from her at 10am Friday, and all she told me was that there were no brakes on Kendra's car and that she couldn't get in to work. I told her I'd get over there to pick her up. She said good. She called me an hour later. I didn't get over there, the shit was hitting the fan here. I couldn't get over there to pick her up. You know more than me. I guess I'm always the last to know. If you run into any more of my employees, and they quit, let me know.

Serenity, Wicked Pictures contract star, who has been on the forefront of the mainstreaming of adult entertainment over the last year, bursts into summer with seven major media appearances in June.

The E! Entertainment Channel has begun re-airing their coverage from the 1997 and 1998 Cannes Film Festival. June 5 was the air date [there will be repeats] for "Wild on...the Riviera '99" coverage from the 1999 Cannes Film Festival. Also look for Serenity's take on Hedonism II when "Wild on...the Caribbean" airs June 19th.

On June 11, fans in the Los Angeles area can tune into KROQ's (106.7 FM) Kevin and Bean Show to get up-to-the-date information on Serenity and where she will appear next for Wicked Pictures. One such place is the Bravo Network where Serenity will be featured on "Movie TV the weekend of June 11th."

Late June brings Serenity back to Los Angeles with appearances on the Conway and Steckler Show [97.1FM] June 21st and the nationally syndicated "Loveline" with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew on June 22nd that airs in Los Angeles on KROQ. Serenity will be on Comedy Central's new show starring Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel "The Man Show" June 23rd.

"Quasarman writes: "A word of caution to anyone who might be considering Samantha Strong for a video/film project of any kind; don't do it. This legendary pornstress is still pretty much the incredible piece of ass that fans may recall from her glory years. HOWEVER, she showed up an hour late and with attitude emanating from her like toxic flatulence. After an hour in makeup she informed us that she would not pose for "pretty girl" pictures [standard on any adult set] and, finally, without any explanation, she left.

"Mark Davis was to be her partner and traveled at 9am on a Sunday morning from Marina Del Ray only to have her mumble something about "being taken advantage of" and then driving off. Needless to say that none of us were terribly happy. Perhaps she has personal problems, perhaps she believes that attractive girls who have sex on DV tape for money deserve the type of coddling reserved for actual movie stars or perhaps she is simply an idiot. These things I do not know. I do know however that she cost us time and money and if anyone else out there is concerned about wasting either of these things they'd do well to not answer the phone if she were to call.

"Also, there seems to be an "epidemic" of girls who neglect to bring their tests with them to shoots and then get incredibly angry and offended when you inform them that you can't shoot them without one. I won't name names but it happened 4 TIMES to us this weekend. Even though it is my belief that the PCR test is completely useless because it detects 99.9% non-infectious viral particles, it is the industry standard and EVERYONE knows that they can't work without one.

"My recommendation: overlap your tests, make lots of copies and stop using the "I gave my original copy to so and so" excuse. A plumber doesn't show up on the job and say "Sorry, I gave my plunger to my last customer". Most of our talent understand these things and act responsibly. As for the rest, please heed the simple advice mentioned above. The time and money you save may be mine.

Zane Entertainment Group sponsored pro-driver Ed Alexander in the internationally acclaimed, Michelin "One Lap of America" race which took place this past May 16 to 22. Sultry blond Keri Windsor proved to be more than a pretty face and a pornstar by accompanying Alexander as his co-driver. The race, with day and night driving, in two-hour shifts, covered 4,100 miles beginning and ending in Ann Arbor, Michigan with laps in Kansas, Colorado, Texas, Tennessee, Georgia and South Carolina. Windsor and Alexander finished the race in style by winning the event at Waterford Hills, Michigan, and, with that victory, sealed a First Place finish in their class [Vintage Foreigh - 1981 BMW] and 16th overall. They were presented the first place trophy at the awards banquet May 22 in Ann Arbor. Windsor was also photographer and interviewed by Car and Driver Magazine.

Keri Windsor: "We won first place. It was pretty intense"

G. Ross: "Did you ever wind up getting on Good Morning America? There was some rumor that you were going to be interviewed.

Windsor: "Good Morning America cancelled. They didn't show up. It was supposed to be in Texas at the Texas World Speedway. Billy, the p.r. guy for One Lap of America was pretty upset. I guess they called around six o'clock in the morning saying they weren't going to make it...

G. Ross: "Are there memoirs in your future?"

Windsor: "I've got still photos as well as hi-8 tapes. We're putting stuff together as well as my co-driver Ed. He started reading me some of his write-ups. Definitely, I'm going to be put a little package-thing-together. I got as my video footage as possible."

G. Ross: "Intercut with six sex scenes, of course.."

Windsor: "Of course...in fact I found out that Zene is going to bring the car into the Summer Expo, and I'm going to be doing a signing by Zane with the race car. We'll bring the trophy we got and things like that. In fact I've already discussed putting a girl team together for next year. I've already talked to Raylene and Juli Ashton about getting a car. There's an owner of a Porsche dealership in Montreal that would like to sponsor us. I seriously want to think about next year and going to driving school so I can race. I even bought books about drag car racing and stock car racing while we were on the way to the race this year, so I wouldn't feel so dumb as far as what terminology they were using. I tried to learn some things while I was there, and go back and be an expert on what's going on. It was really neat. The first couple of days, the people that were involved, the 200 drivers or so with the 104 entries, they weren't really welcome to the idea that I was involved in it because of the background I had. They felt I was there for other reasons, that I wasn't there to take it seriously. By day three they started welcomg me in; and by the last day, I kid, you not, it was wonderful. They were all my best friends. They're just great people and it was nice to have them change their minds about what they thought of the porn industry. In Atlanta, the rumor was, have you talked to Keri yet? She's actually pretty intelligent. The next thing I knew, somebody new would come up and start talking. Of course they talked about the porn industry with me, and, by the same token, I would talk to them about the racing industry. It was a great learning experience. It was definitely exhausting in that the most sleep I got at one time was two hours. .the fatigue factor was there. You know what it is? You're motivated by competition. You're motivated to get there and compete. Just the scenery is so damn beautiful. It motivated me. We had a couple of car problems in Micigan as well as Texas, and twice we were behind schedule. You just want to get to the next location so you're not disqualified.

G. Ross: "You had to pull it out in the end to come in first place."

Windsor: "I didn't even know we won first until we actually had the little ceremony-thing at the end in Ann Arbor. I thought the best we could possibly do was five points shy of first place. Mathematically, they go by points, and I was trying to figure it out on my own. Obviously, I miscalculated. Because when they announced our name I just kinda sat back in awe. Ed kind of yanked me up, and we started walking down the aisle, we won what, huh? We won for the Vintage Foreign class. There were 16 cars in our class. We won on points in the class, and, overall, we placed 16th. What the neatest thing about it is, there were cars showing up like a BMW 318 with a 450 horsepower with a turbocharge in it. Our car only had 178 horsepower, but what it amounted to, Ed was just a superb road race driver because a lot of the tracks, six out of eight, was to the advantage of the driver who could handle the turns. A fast car wasn't to your advantage. It was such a great experience."

Ed Reyes forwards correspondence he sent to Dave Michaels and John Douglas of Talking Blue regarding a series of "Deep Throat" stories to appear on the Luke Ford site last week. Reyes was supposed to have constructed a new Talking Blue site and had other business ventures which he claims were shot-to-hell by the stories.

Reyes: "Let me clear some things for you before you make any assumptions again. Your proposal was turned down because your salary requirements could not be justified, considering you guys don't make $1500 a week, maybe you do (maybe I'm wrong, I don't see your paystubs but that is the amount you requested), how do you guys justify your value with regards to the show. I told them that It's because you would play multiple roles [editor, camera guy, etc.] they didn't buy that. If you guys were that good to command that much money, and you knew so much about the industry, you would be doing this professionally and not having to sell autographs on e-bay to fund your show. I did try. And I did ask Jason, to offer you money for making those dubs and producing the trailer footage. He said he was going to reimburse any costs you may have incurred, I assumed he did, I don't know what conversations the two of you had. But like every single meeting we had, it seemed nobody would just say anything, what they wanted, what they needed, it was all based on assumptions. I brought you guys in to meet with Jason and Jeff so that you can cut the deal with them, leaving me impartial and allowing the two of you to command what you want from two new potential financiers of your show. I wasn't asking for anything, but in the deal I was supposed to build the new Talking Blue site. Was anyone willing to pay for my time doing this or was it something that I had to sacrifice because unlike you guys I don't have a life and I lived out of my brother's garage. And also, since it was King Tut, wanting to finance the Talking Blue Show, are you telling me that if someone finances a project like a TV show that they aren't going to ask for a majority of the rights. According to our attorney's interpretation of your proposal to Pharaoh media, it basically stated that Pharaoh Media would finance four shows, spend money on marketing and advertising and then after a certain period, ownership reverts back to you? Is this correct? That's what they told me. And then Jason and Bill had their Hollywood Attorney draw up their contract. To be honest with you, I didn't like it. But Bill said it was a standard contract. If they finance a project they retain the rights. I said, well I don't think Talking Blue will like that. They wanted to play hardball with you two. So you know what, I took myself OFF of their project to work on my stuff. I knew that without me guiding them, and yes I have a lot of experience in TV production that even you guys don't know, but I'm not going to say anything, because I wanted to see how much you two really know about what it is you do and what you want to do with regards to Talking Blue. I knew that by taking myself out, they would end up spending more money for "their" project and it would be less likely to SUCCEED, but they would learn their lesson at a very costly price, their money not mine, their time not mine. I wanted to be impartial from that point on. This way if they failed in the venture it was their own fault, not mine. Then I would say I told you so. Although I did suggest to them that they reconsider their position with Talking Blue. No Deal. So I let them do their own thing. I was sure that the two of you guys would've continued or taken Mimi's other project or work with Brittany. Which I see is evident on your site. I knew that at least Talking Blue would still be around. The guys are still pursuing their TV show with the guidance of Bill, not me. So why is it that you felt it necessary to expose me on Luke Ford's site? Please tell me that, it wasn't you. That is my assumption, because the only people who know that much about me would be you two guys, cause I don't even get to leave the office to converse with anyone. And the first people I met in this VERY grown up world of adult was Dave Michaels and John Douglas of "Talking Blue" fame. Before I met Jeff, Jason, Paul, Darren, Allison, Chad or Misty. It was you two guys.

Now you've done it. First someone implicated on a post on Luke Ford's site that Paul financed a prostitution site called lavip.net and that I was the owner. Then a person who swears to GOD that he knows the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth [a person called Deep Throat] goes on with this whole story about me, my involvement, with AVN and King Tut. Well my lawyer has read this letter and not only were statements false, some true, but everything convoluted, the damage was done.

I'm having my lawyer subpoena everyone that I feel could have been involve with the information in that letter. THIS MEANS YOU AND JOHN WILL BE SEEING ME IN COURT. IF IT'S PROVEN THAT THE TWO OF YOU WERE INVOLVED IN THIS IN ANY WAY I'LL BE SUING LUKE FOR POSTING IT [FOR HAVING POSTED IT EVEN AFTER AVN'S WARNING AND NOT HAVING CHECKED WITH ME ON THE VALIDITY OF THE STATEMENTS, AND YOU FOR WRITING IT. THAT IS, IF MY ATTORNEY CAN LINK YOU WITH THE STATEMENTS MADE WITHIN THE LETTER.

Without first checking the validity of your statements do you realize that not only did I LOSE the project which was already set in motion with Paul's friends' Video store in Philadelphia [a project worth $13,000.00 plus a monthly maintenance fee], that was greenlighted and ready for me to pick up a deposit this week is NOW DEAD, all thanks to the posting in LUKE FORD. Paul simply made the recommendation, because at that point of my company starting out, any project that could help me put food on the table would've been worth doing, Paul had nothing to do with this, I dealt with his partner from that point on, even flew to Philly, his partner liked my work and agreed to the hire me on. And not because Paul told him so! I'm one of many webmasters Paul has access to.

In the end it's how I sell myself to his friend. I barely make anything for myself and now this Deep Throat guy causes me to loose a very big account, especially at a time when I could really use the money, and what did I do to deserve this? Not only that, other clients who do glance at Luke's site declined to do business with me based on allegations that Paul is funding me and that I have a prostitution website. You can check my AEG bank account, it's pretty much been empty for the past six months. In my next email, just if you were at all interested in the truth, the real truth and nothing but the truth. I'll break down Deep Throats' letter. If you feel you would like to post or email these letters to Luke or post it on your site I'd reconsider because these will be my final communications with the two of you until this matter is resolved and someone pays for me lost income. By the way I still have John's 20 dollar Lost In Space CD, and you have my $800 dollar PhotoShop 5 CD and some of my Flash books. Keep it if you want I bought another one. That's more than enough to cover for the Lost In Space CD. Ed Reyes, CEO Adult Entertainment Group

You know what I'll post it and send it to Luke myself, because if people don't read my side of the story they'll think that there is truth behind the whole allegation. Because I didn't respond, truth is, I never read Luke's site until it was brought to my attention by Paul. Saying that he may SUE, and you know what if its proven that you did do this to me, I can not predict the outcome. All I know is that it won't be me just suing Deep Throat, you've got a handful of people suing him as well. So let the games and the honesty begin.

By the way I don't know Luke, and I hope that by him posting my story that this matter can be clarified.

Reyes writes further: "In Response to Deep Throat and those who I hope aren't interested in this story. But here it goes: [This is my deposition to my Attorney before he left for France this weekend, he will be back and when he does, we'll be ready to RUMBLE.]

[Accusation #1.] AVN publisher Paul Fishbein adamantly denies rumors that he and AVN have invested in the prostitution operation www.la-vip.net. Fishbein also denies rumors that he and AVN had a big consulting deal with Ed Reyes'company which is going down in flames, I hear. Ed Reyes' company won two big awards at the first annual AVN Internet Awards, including for best graphics. Ed is a superb flash animator.

(ED's truth) Paul should deny these rumors because AVN has not invested or given a penny to my company or toward's LAVIP. I was asked to build the website lavip.net, so that independent dancers, escorts, etc. can place their advertisement online on this website and that's all, I don't pimp girls and I'm not involved in prostitution [nor is PAUL], I just place their ads. By the way so does my competitors, and the newspapers. [So get the facts straight first, because what you alleged is very damaging, irregardless if it is a rumor.] In fact I've given him money FOR PAID ADVERTISING in his magazine, so maybe the investment part is the other way around. Don't believe me, ask their sales department or should I show you the receipts! About a big consulting deal with AVN, well business is business and obviously if your not involved, it's none of your business. Here's a consulting deal for you, Paul has a dog in his office, I have a dog in my office. I ask where does he go to get his dogs groomed, he tells me and then I go to get my dog groomed. How's that for consultation, really big huh. About going down in flames, you know what, since I've moved, it's been so hot in the Valley I'm just burning up down here. I only won one award, Best Graphics and nominated for Best Plugins, FF5 one that one. Being a superb flash animator, well my work can only speak for itself, everyone has their own opinion.

[People who knows about LAVIP or can be linked to this accusation for my attorney to question are, DAVE MICHAELS, JOHN DOUGLAS, Paul Fishbein, Darren and Allison Roberts, Chad Thomas and Misty Rain]

Deep Throat writes Luke:

Here's the truth, the whole truth, so help me God….

[Accusation #2.] Sept. 7th, 1998 10:06pm - An Email message is sent to us from a Edgar Reyes, Ed for the remainder of this article. He said he was the president of AEG, Adult Entertainment Group, Inc. He was in development of a very huge Adult website. We get email like this all the time, but what made this interesting was that he was actually trying something new in adult websites at the time…but now is becoming the norm if you look around. He was working exclusively in Flash/Macromedia technology. It was new and interesting and he had a knack for some interesting graphics. But, he was also doing something totally new, by not just making an interesting opening you sometime now see on sites but a whole site in the Flash format.

It really was impressive. We ended up meeting him and he seems like a nice guy, totally naïve with the adult industry, living out of his brother's garage working on his site and snagging software from his brother. His brother works for a major software company. He wanted to finally make a name for himself and thought he should enter his site in the AVN/IA2000 awards coming up. He felt that would make him. And kept asking us about AVN. We just said me careful who you go to bed with, cause you will regret it later. They will steal your ideas for their site if they get the chance, so just be careful we said. He said his ultimate plan was to create a browser, similar to AOL but formatted for adult sites. A one stop interface that would have all the major players on this adult interface. He designed something to this effect at: www.adultonlinenetwork.com think it's still up. He said he would make it with the prominent presence of AVN on its start up menu. We said that should help in the awards since most at AVN are so vain. Of course, it was pretty slick and we never doubted his talent, just that he was like a little child walking into this VERY grown-up world of adult, we knew he would probably get swallowed up after winning some of the major awards at the show.

[ED's truth] Well what can I say. Yes I am the owner of AEG, yes this is my site, yes I built the site in Flash, yes I entered it in the AVN/IA2000, yes I did ask about AVN, yes my plan was to create an AOL like browser formatted for Adult Sites. NOW, no I did not live out of my brother's garage [what am I a CAR? I heard of musicians sleeping in their CAR, but this is ridiculous], I lived in his tiny computer room, slept on the floor with my dog, and worked on my website 20 hours a day. All I can say is that the only two people who could have received an EMAIL from me would be DAVE MICHAELS and JOHN DOUGLAS of TALKING BLUE. I did email the two when I was building my site, because I was looking for content to develop and add to the site to make it interesting. I didn't think I would get a response, but I did. We met with JOHN and DAVE, my brother and my sister in law treated them out to late dinner at IHOP in Norwalk. We got to talking and learning more about each other. I did ask about AVN, because I wanted to know if I stood a chance in winning or was it all politics based on Advertisers. They did quote to me,

"We just said be careful who you go to bed with, cause you will regret it later. They will steal your ideas for their site if they get the chance, so just be careful we said." Wow, I guess I better not deal with them [AVN], because they told me about what Gene Ross, Teena Touch did to them with regard to the Talking Blue Site [I believe there is an entry in Luke's Site right after my story, and a response on gene ross's site ABOUT AVN STEALING THE TALKING BLUE SITE]. But I did make an offer that I would help give their current Talking Blue website a Flash makeover, free of charge. In return they would get me or recommend me to the girls they know in the business, like Brittany Andrews and Shyla Foxxx, girls that have hosted their show. Wow, I've got this big deal going with Talking Blue and now their sending girls my way. [HEY PAUL how come you're not getting girls to call me? Talking Blue has got you out number 2 girls to zero, what's up with that?]

All this and a whole month prior to my SO CALLED BIG AVN DEAL and DARREN sending me girls. [By the way, they did put me in touch with Shyla Foxx in Arizona, nice person, but it was brief. And we did take a trip to see Brittany Andrews at her place, nice person, but again brief. But they did make the introductions after I move into my new office, but the offer was there.] They pretty much had nothing good or positive to say about AVN in every question I asked. After our meeting, my brother asks, so what do you think? I said well the awards aren't until Oct, we'll see, I know if what they said was true and it's all politics at AVN, and I don't stand a chance because, I've got multimillion dollar websites as my competitors. I said,

I'm nobody if I don't win, at least I tried. Also that I wouldn't cast judgements about AVN until I get to know them personally. Just because TALKING BLUE feels that they got fucked over by AVN, I wasn't going to allow their opinions deter me from wanting to meet with them. Everyone is different. My take on the stealing is, if you have an idea, so does everyone else, if you build it and someone takes it from your site, then it's stealing. To say you had this idea for a site, with categories and buttons and whatever and AVN stole it. Well, I have an idea for a site with categories, buttons and whatever and I'm going to build my own version. Is that stealing or being competitive? Or are you just looking for someone to blame because your last webmaster screwed you, so you started designing the site on your own, and now AVN has this new site based on your ideas? Which came first AVN or TALKING BLUE? Come ON... BEING A CHILD????? I may be new to this industry, but you guys must have been where I was before you got into the biz. Not knowing anyone or anything, learning the ropes and the major players. [Unless you guys had some pre-natal porno training that you guys are the know it alls about Porn]. But to call me a CHILD, grow up, and think about the person you say things like that first. Do you think I want people that I'm doing business with to see the portrait DEEP THROAT painted of me in this letter. How d
