As I expected (and so did Michael, you can be sure), the reaction to Lucas‘ new release “Farts!” has been coming in swiftly, some of it even from Lucas himself. In his first press release, the diva, in an email subjected “My Genius,” said, “…we’ve gotten more pre-orders for Farts! in a two-day period than we did for “Michael Lucas’ La Dolce Vita.’” He added that he got “exactly what I wanted,” that being, promotion by all the blogs (including this one), and that he is “laughing all the way to the bank.” Just like Liberace did, I suspect. He, being Michael Lucas, then sent a follow-up email, explaining that his intention was not be be rude, as some commented on various blogs, and that he thought many of those comments to be disrespectful to both the actors and to those “who enjoy this kind of fetish.” Stating that he makes his movies based on what people want to see, he finds any negative response to be “short-sighted,” asking if we should criticize those into fisting, watersports, role-play, and other fetishes. But, publicity wise, you’ve got to admit that Lucas is once again at the top of the game, and even listed in his follow-up the link to both Michael Musto’s and the FleshBot blogs. “Although they’re also a bit short-sighted,” Lucas said, “I do think they’re incredibly funny.” From the vidioview.com inbox, comments I received included, “I have no doubt he will spin this to death- next will be the law suits- first from him, then to him and then more ‘poor me’ press and indignation;” and my favorite, “Maybe his new clothing line can come with gas traps so you can ‘hold that thought’ for a later time.” Page Six, here we come!

As expected…a Lucas update.
September 30, 2008A Lucas toot…er, hoot.
September 23, 2008
Even Michael Lucas’ PR guy Patrick concedes that items about Lucas’ new Rauch film titled “Farts!” will no doubt say something about Lucas “tooting his own horn.” Aaah, but not here. No sir. “Farts!,” and make sure you use that exclamation point, is the first in Lucas’ new line, and their “filthiest, kinkiest release to date,” and, even for Lucas, that’s saying something. With the movie that focuses on “talking buttholes” (I don’t make this up), it features the sexually depraved Lucas, along with Nick Capra, Jason Crew, Sean Philips and Scott Spears, among others. Danny Delta gets pumped full of hot air by Jason Crew (does anyone have the nerve to say, “You’re full of hot air?”…), Cam Casey “diddles his ass” with a banana, and then there are “gallons,” it says here, of piss drinking, “squirtacular” enemas, and, of course, farts. This family fun-fest is only available in a Director’s Cut version, and should be available for sniffing…er, ordering…on Lucas’ site.
Another porn star goes mainstream modeling…
September 6, 2008
In what’s becoming a weekly event, yet another porn performer has gone mainstream. Well, if you can call “reality TV” mainstream. Boyride Films model York Hubbard is appearing in the new season of “The Janice Dickenson Modeling Agency.” I suppose I should at least watch it once, but I just can’t get beyond Janice’s lips. But I digrss. Hubbard, whose real name is Martin Ritchie, worked for Boyride back in early ‘07, when he, according to their PR, “popped by to do an interview on the casting couch and show what he had to offer.” They found him to be “a real charmer” and, even though he had been deaf since childhood, he “had no problem communicating and joking around.” York…er, Martin, bottomed for Tristan Mathews in Boyride’s “The Big Swell,” available through Tipo Sesso and distributed by 1 Distribution, and you can see an interview with Martin, who seems like a really charming guy,at the Oxygen Channel’s website. If I could only get past Janice and those lips…
Kurt too wild for the Subway!
September 5, 2008
Poor Kurt Wild. Well, even poorer Kurt Wild, as the cutie performer is now without a real job. Kurt sent out an email to the industry, telling us that he has been fired from his real job as manager of a Subway in Missouri after being outed as a gay porn star. In his email, Kurt said he was recognized by a customer, and that “…A customer said they wouldn’t even eat there at subway anymore because of past work and said that if I wasn’t fired then they would boycott the store.” The first question, naturally, is if this is the same customer who recognized him from the movie and…what was he doing watching a gay porn movie if he found it so offensive. But I digress. Kurt said, “…maybe I should take a stand and boycott their store too if they can’t let people’s privacy be treated right.” He also said that it probably wouldn’t have gone down that way had it been a woman discovered doing straight porn. Kurt himself is, according to TheSword.com, married with three kids and, it says here, “…uses gay porn to exercise his non-hetreonormative inclinations (he bottoms voraciously) while pulling in extra cash.” I’ve got to go look up “non-hetreonormative inclinations,” and I’ll be right back.
