Day 2: TNA Covers AVNTNA Editors
| Jan 11,2008
Her collection is growing, and she's moving on to her next victim, er, fan. Unless he's going commando, he'll have some undergarment shopping to do! --Mike Pettit, 6:15 p.m. *** Audrey Hollander enjoys meeting all her fans, but, admittedly, some are more thrilling than others. “I met Eddie Van Halen once, and I couldn’t believe he’s the one who recognized me. He even told me was a big fan,” Hollander said, while signing at the Naughty America booth. It wasn’t just the fact that Van Halen is a famous rock star that thrilled Hollander. It was the fact that a master of his craft was recognizing her for hers. “People don’t realize how much hard work [making adult films] is,” she said. “It’s not just about the sex. It’s all about angles and lighting. It’s geometry, really.” It’s also about dialogue. Hollander improvises much of her, and that’s a real kick. “The filmmakers I work with tell me I’m good at talking dirty,” she said, with a mix of glee and pride, adding that the key to good dirty talk is a sense of humor. “You do have to have your wits about you,” she said. -- David B. Moye, 5:27 p.m. *** Blowing may be included in a porn star’s job description, even when a 9-inch cock is replaced with a balloon.
After the balloon blew its wad, Ginger looked a bit exhausted, but the twinkle in her eye told me she was also horny. I was right. “It turned me on because it was so big,” she said. That’s exactly what mellyloon.com creator Mike D. wanted to hear. “It’s extreme, loud and climactic,” he said, adding that the process allows performers and viewers to “pop” stress. And that fact that attractive women are willing to put their lips to a balloon apparently drives people crazy. Mike says about 75 adult performers have helped his company showcase the fetish in the past 2.5 days at AEE, but he hasn’t excluded the fans. Nearly two dozen women performed balloon-bursting blowjobs since the convention’s start, earning them free vibrators from Philadelphia-based mellyloon.com. The balloons come from all over the world, and are typically at least 16 inches in diameter, according to Mike. “It’s a fetish,” he said. “The bigger the better.” Beverly, a model for the company, says she has popped balloons as big as 11 feet long, including one that she thought resembled Mickey Mouse. Beverly, a licensed aerobics instructor, estimates that she blows up at least 10 balloons during an hour-long shoot. “You have to be in shape to do this,” she said. --Mike Pettit, 5:05 p.m. *** It’s not just single horny dudes who still live with their moms walking around AEE gawking at porn stars and updating their DVD collection. Even married couples are perusing the aisles. One couple who chose to remain unidentified flew all the way from West Virginia to get a taste of Sin City, including the convention and AVN. Wifey, a 39-year-old nurse, admitted that she’s a porn fan, but that her husband initiated the trip to AEE. “It’s his dream vacation,” she said, pointing a finger to her 36-year-old spouse. “Belladonna’s who I’m here for,” said hubby, adding that Flower Tucci and Jada Fire were also on his wish list. Both said they would like to see more of bigger women in porn, just so that it’s known that larger ladies like sex, too. Wifey also added that she’s curious to know the personal side of porn stars – where they come from, what they do off-camera. She may find out if she stays here long enough! --Mike Pettit, 4:50 p.m. *** Joey Buttafuoco dropped by AVN this afternoon, and the press was all over him. But no one really got to talk to him, because Howard Stern’s people took up almost all of his time. Stern’s people, a television crew for Howard TV, did an interview with Buttafuoco that started out funny. It was the usual antagonistic stuff with a little slapstick thrown in. Then it got a little less funny. At the ten minute mark, it got tedious. And these guys were actually doing takes. Buttafuoco played along for about ten minutes. But I think he realized that two Stern guys were going to be in his face all day, so he tried to get away. Then he tried to tear himself away. And finally, he bolted from the crowd and sprinted down the aisle. All good theater, right? Not so fast. The cameras finally stopped, and a chick with a clipboard tried to get Buttafuoco to sign the release form – only he wouldn’t sign it. Said he didn’t want the buffoonery aired. He leveled a finger at one of the guys, who was on all fours and ogling him, and called the guy an idiot. The Stern crew realized that Buttafuoco really wasn’t going to sign the release, so the two on-air guys broke character and told him they were just joking around. Buttafuoco said all was cool. The other media angled to get their interviews, … until the two Stern guys said, “Joey, alright, we’ll do it straight this time,” and turned the cameras back on. So, the rest of us waited. The two clowns played it straight for about twenty seconds, then started in with the shenanigans: shoving the mic in his face, pretending to faint, etc. Again, all good theater, right? Buttafuoco wrenched himself away from the Stern crew and again dashed down the aisle. I followed him. I’d waited long enough. “Hey, Joey, when you’re finished, can I get a couple of minutes?” The Stern retinue surrounded the two of us. “I can give you a few minutes right now,” he replied. The Stern people didn’t know when to stop – the Howard TV cameras were still rolling while I talked to Buttafuoco. I got in a few questions before the Stern people caught his eye, and scared him off. Interview to follow. --Leopard J. Ferry, 4:45 PM PST *** Watching porn movies can inspire people to want to have sex – and have orgasms—but some of the techniques that look sexy on camera don’t induce orgasms in real life. At least not for women. So says sex expert Dr. Sadie Allison, who is taking a position on the subject with a new book, “Ride ‘Em Cowgirl! Sex Position Secrets For Better Bucking.” “In porn, the guy often pulls and then puts in back in, but that’s conducive to an orgasm,” she says. “The best positions for female pleasure are where the guy stays put inside and gyrates his hips so that there is pressure against the woman’s pelvis.” She is hoping her book helps guys realize that gyrating might be a better option for orgasm than simple in-and-out motions. Allison’s book has a bunch of different sexual positions, but she admits most are a variation of “the big four: missionary, cowgirl, doggie style and spooning, “However, there are people who are more explorative and wild, who’ve found that lifting a leg here, tilting a pelvis there goes a long way to enhancing pleasure,” she said. That said, there are reasons why the old standards remain popular. “The missionary is the most intimate position and it’s the best anatomically,” she says. “However, if you’re a tall man with a short woman and want to look into each other’s eyes, woman-on-top may be better.” But if the biggest mistake men make in sex is moving their member in a to-and-fro manner and not shaking thing up a bit, Allison says women have a more mouthy problem. “Women don’t use their mouths enough during sex,” she says, quickly adding, “By that, I mean they don’t open their mouths to communicate what they want. They’re so afraid to say the little details that could make the sex better.” Allison offers sex advice at www.ticklekitty.com. -- David B. Moye, 3:02 p.m. *** The Japanese drive me crazy. I lived in Tokyo for three years and saw xenophobia first-hand. With the Japanese, there’s an ineffable mistrust of foreigners that manifests itself in the form of one word: “no.” As in:
“Can I leave my bags here?” … “No.” “Do you have any rooms available?” … “No.” There’s rarely any good reason. That’s just the way xenophobia is, and I ran into that headlong here at AVN. For the past two days I’ve tried to get interviews with two Japanese porn stars signing for Oriental Dream Pictures, Mari Aikawa and Yuuka Ohsawa. Let me say, over the last 48 hours, I’ve interviewed dozens of porn stars, producers, and directors. They’re all happy to speak to the media, because THAT’S WHAT YOU DO at a trade show. So, yesterday I asked the Japanese dude looking after the two Japanese girls if I could get five minutes with one or both of them. I explained The Naughty American, and showed my press badge. “I have to check with the manager,” he said. “and he’s not here right now.” Alright, no problem. So, I came back thirty minutes later. The “manager” still hadn’t arrived. Today, I stopped by the booth, chatted in Japanese with the girls, and took a few photos. I saw the same dude I spoke to yesterday and again asked him if I could speak to one or both girls for two minutes. He smiled and said, “I don’t think so.” “Why not?” I asked. “They can’t speak any English.” “Well, I could speak a little Japanese with them, and you could help translate … just for two minutes.” “I’m sorry,” he reiterated. “They really don’t want to speak to anyone.” And with that, drifted off. Xenophobia and porn conventions – the weirdest thing I’ve seen so far. --Leopard J. Ferry, 2:55 PM PST ***
Starr, who is signing photos at the Naughty America booth (check her out eating Cheetos), says the biggest thrill so far has been able to meet actress Teri Weigel – again. “Back when I was a dancer in Texas, Weigel came in as a feature dancer,” Starr says. “She was the nicest person. She would get ready with the girls, not in her own dressing room, and offered advice to anyone who wanted it. “Ever since, I really wanted to meet her and thank her for being an inspiration. I’m so glad I got to do it finally. It’s ironic that my booth is right across from hers.” Starr knows the positive effect that a friendly porn star can have on a person and she is grateful at the response her fans have given her. “I’ve been recognized by my waiter at the Macaroni Grill – and he paid for my meal!” she says. “On the more serious side, two of my fans keep in touch and says I saved their life. “One is an ex-heroin, ex-meth addict, who says he is staying clean because he wants to someday have a woman as beautiful as I am, with my personality. “Another is the guy who says I saved his marriage. He says he caught his woman masturbating frequently, and, as a last straw, he brought home a porno that had a scene between me and Nautica Thorn – it was ‘Strap It On No. 6.” He says she liked it so much that she now wants to watch porno with him all the time.” Although beauty is an important quality for a porn star, Starr is quick to point out that her appeal is, hopefully, based on her personality as much as her sex appeal. “People know me for my behind-the-scenes work,” she says. “I always do shout-outs to my fans. I’m basically just a country girl from Texas and I’m goofy and silly and like to fuck with people. I always do something silly during a scene so people can see that I’m having fun having sex.” --David B. Moye, 2:30 p.m. ***
Yesterday, Ava Devine didn't shake my hand when I introduced myself ... she grabbed my crotch and said 'hello.' Nice to meet you, Ava! Let's see who else will shake my hand today. ---Mike Pettit, 11:30 a.m. *** Porn starlets aren’t only frolicking around the Sands Expo this week; they’re in the casinos, bars … even at the food court!
She told me she had been up early this morning for a shoot, and would soon be on her way to the Sands for the convention. But first she was waiting for a friend.
“How hard is it to find a girl with assless chaps?” she asked me. I don’t know, but I found her pretty quickly! --Mike Pettit, 10:55 a.m. *** It’s the second day of AEE … maybe we’ll see Barack Obama. The presidential contender is supposed to be in Las Vegas today – a day after opponent Hilary Clinton made a Sin City appearance. I didn’t see her at the Sands checking out any of her favorite porn … did anybody else? Maybe Obama will show us that he understands porn conventioneers are voters, too! --Mike Pettit, 9:45 a.m. *** Porn stars aren’t only frolicking around the Sands Expo this week; they’re in the casinos, bars … even at the food court! Drinking coffee this morning, I saw Digital Playground diva Stoya sporting assless chaps as she ordered from Panda Express – some spring rolls and a giant Pepsi, in case anybody’s wondering. She told me she had been up early this morning for a shoot, and would soon be on her way to the Sands for the convention. But first she was waiting for a friend. “How hard is it to find a girl with assless chaps?” she asked me. I don’t know, but I found her pretty quickly! --Mike Pettit, 10:55 a.m. *** Did you enjoy this article?
