Now and then I publish articles by readers. In the following story you will find an interview with BBW Trista Lace by contributor Larry Smathers. Smathers writes for the types of publications you'd read while buying a pack of LifeSavers in the checkout aisle just to shut up your retarded half-brother. Look how Smathers masterfully makes his subject come alive like Art Linkletter, Mindy Cohn, or Soleil-Moon Frye. Naughty Big Girls Need Love Too by GramPonante.com special correspondent Larry Smathers
Sitting in the back offices at Red Light District is a Rubenesque beauty who works in the Financing Department for the adult video company. Most of her days are spent cutting checks for the talent who collect the loot for a recent girl-on-girl scene or for participating in a raunchy warehouse gangbang, but the unassuming bookkeeper was surprised as directors who came in to pick-up their checks would also try a quick pickup with her.
“I kept having directors ask me, ‘Would you want to do a scene?’ she giggled. “I can honestly say, I never, ever, thought of having sex on film. It took about two years, but when Mr. Pete approached me about doing the first big girl video for Red Light and added that he wanted me on the cover I said, ‘Why not?’ There were people in my personal life that were just waiting for the day to come when I would do this; I’m a very sexual person in real life.”
Thus, Trista Lace the porn persona was born, along with a new BBW series titled Heavy Loads. The box tells us her weight is 235 lbs. and the zaftig actress/bookkeeper is certainly not uptight about her size.
“I’m very comfortable with myself, because we all know the average girl isn’t a size 0. When I was getting ready to do this I thought ‘No one is going to watch these movies if they don’t like to watch a big girl having sex’,” referring to Communist countries where dissidents are forced to watch BBW 8-millimeter loops in the gulag.
Trista doesn’t see her recent turn to starlet as a full-time career move, just a bit of naughty fun away from her desk job, but her big talents are becoming more in demand. She has done her second flick for Zero Tolerance, Waist Watchers 3, and has a photo spread with Plumpers magazine in the works.
As for keeping up her Queen-size appearance Trista plays coy. “I really don’t eat that bad…let me see, chicken salad is my favorite and well, I do love chocolate.”
When pressed a bit harder for her favorite brand of high-end confection -- Godiva or Lindt -- this porn newbie laughs.
“Oh, no, I go for the cheap stuff; just give me a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and I’ll be a happy girl.”
Walk (Alix Lakehurst) every day into a shady place
Alix Lakehurst, back from rehab and high on life (who knew she was on drugs?) plays Kim Deal or No Deal for her fans on her website. When asked "Where is my mind?" Lakehurst responded, "Try your pants."
Two of my favorite people talk with each other in a recent article on Mr. Skin.com.
Alix Lakehurst interviewed April Flores for the Chicago-based mainstream movie nudity website and the Kiss Attack performer talked about working with Belladonna, idolizing Rita Hayworth, and being her own favorite porn star.
Alix Lakehurst is Greek, and lives in Chicago. We talked by computer, the way they do in Space.
One thing about Alix Lakehurst (who interviewed me for Mr. Skin), is that, like Mike Wallace, she conducts her interviews topless. I, on the other hand, wore a full iron diving bell.
I asked what she was doing for Easter, because topless girls in bonnets is a multi-million dollar niche for my Caymans-based affiliate program.
"Greeks don't celebrate Easter until the first Sunday after the first full moon after the equinox," she said. "So it won't be until late April."
"Oh," I said, thinking: What will I do with all this spanikopita?
Carlos Batts has been making a movie that he calls "The Blade Runner of Porn," Kiss Attack.
"This is the movie I want to be measured by," he said. "I'm really proud of it."
Featuring burlesque dancers, luchadores, martial artists, a standup comedian for good measure, and as always, Batts' partner in crime April Flores, Kiss Attack is the not-difficult-to-follow story of the five daughters of Vlad Drakul, each of whom is armed with a lethal lipstick created by Drakul's henchman, Mr. Experiment.
Experiment's son, VMMX, is twisted with jealousy over the attention his father pays to the ladies, and vows to destroy them with the help of his gang, the Fleshers.
"I'm not alt," Batts said. "This is a totally new thing."
Shot in Los Angeles, Kiss Attack also features original music and comic storyboarding in addition to stars Flores, Sasha Gray, Claudia Rossi, Sara Vandella, and Damon Pierce as Mr. Experiment, who totally stole my look.
Claudia Rossi is Cleopatra. She doesn't look Egyptian, but who does anymore?
Flores is Ms. Sangre. She is acting circles around her scene partner.
This is my favorite picture. Cholita makes an excellent hood ornament.
Vivid Plus' has released its heavier women epic Curvaceous.
I went to the digital capture of this movie last August (I won't say "taping," I'd be embarrassed to say "lensing," and it would be inaccurate to say "filming") and there was so much flesh that producers allowed me to take home a to go bag of it.
I was reminded of a great line from "Honey White" by the late, lamented Morphine.
As you can see, April Flores can hit a high C without using her hands or her voice!
Flores was in Hollywood with her husband, the director Carlos Batts, to promote Voluptuous Life, a sort of Lifestyles of the Abundantly Tasty that chronicles her various curvy exploits in L.A., San Francisco, and New York.
I like Flores because we are both native Spanish speakers with flaming red hair, and because she and Batts prove an exception to the rule of successful, happy couples in porn.
See more pictures after the gap.
The only time I had visited this studio space on Cole Ave. was my first on the set story after launching my website in 2005. All the sights and smells of the gangbang epic Six in Me came back as I stood drinking open bar liquor on the very spot where Jack Venice and Brian Surewood came on Terri Summers' face. I thought, if I could only have told Surewood and Venice then what we all know now, well, I would have got in the way of what eventually landed on the sweet Dutch Summers.
Voluptuous Life, produced by Bad Seed, was being hyped along with the soft launch of Adam & Eve's new label, Independent Adult Cinema. Bad Seed is Adam & Eve's gonzo division, said marketing vice president Peter Reynolds, so Voluptuous Life and Joe Gallant's Skin Trade, both of which are not gonzo movies, would have been on the IAC label had it existed this summer.
As it is, IAC's first official release will be a title directed by Joanna Angel, set to coincide with the AVN Expo next month.
Flores is the type of person people are happy to be around. There were women from all walks of life at the party, porn and non-porn, eager to push their breasts against hers.
Kimberly Kane, Masuimi Max, and the delightful Cherry of Jumbo's Clown Room (high on the list of phrases I never imagined I would type), all gathered to join their breasts with those of Flores, as if her breasts reflected the bulk buying power of a Costco membership and they all wanted a shot at pallets of Raisinets.
Adam and Eve, as you can see, is managed by men with trim facial hair and glasses. From left we see executives Wit Maverick, Bob Christian, and Peter Reynolds. These are the people who supply a good deal of the world's pornography; are you surprised they look so urbane?
Maybe Chicago's Transit Authority is not called the Metro, but Alix Lakehurst's recent adventure on the train was a lot sexier than While You Were Sleeping (though I do watch that movie at Christmas, just not for prurient reasons).
Ms. Lakehurst sets up her camera on the train and proceeds to insert a discreet bullet vibrator. We see nothing but her facial expressions, several kinds of tension building simultaneously as we share her fear that she'll be interrupted at the next stop, or just as likely by a curious engineer.
It reminded me of Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House". We never see the ghost, but we're scared anyway. What I mean to say is that Lakehurst remains fully clothed, but it almost doesn't matter.
After seeing this fascinating video I would watch Alix Lakehurst do anything. I just wouldn't let her drive.
New Porn Daily: Saruman meets Spock in a thoughtful ocean of flesh
XL Girls Magazine has released XL Extra #5, featuring mesmerizing shots like these, with flesh undulating like the sentient waves of Solaris.
One can't help but get in a Comic-Con mood when reading the marketing copy of this movie, which promises "Horny plumpers satisfy their craving for manflesh!"
The scholar will remember that manflesh is exactly what Saruman promised his Uruk-hai army ere its disastrous march on Helm's Deep.
(I am pushing up my glasses here.)
It is odd that this movie arrived right after I read Fleshbot's story on Leonard Nimoy, who has a photography show devoted to zaftig ladies, although none of the former Mr. Spock's subjects give it up the way Samantha Kay and Aspen do.
