It’s been almost 2 weeks since the end of the GRUNTS shoot and it’s amazing how everyone has welcomed me with open arms. The hype has already started and everyone in the industry is already  talking about what’s most likely to be the video of year. I’m super excited that Raging Stallion Studios (RSS) decided to move the release date of GRUNTS to December 15 th, that way GRUNTS can be eligible for GAYVN nominations for 2008 — which is awesome. Even if I don’t get nominated for anything I still get to go and just that feeling raises hair on the back of my neck!

Unlike Kathy Griffin, who hates her D-List status, I’m loving my RSS-List status. The traffic on the blog has increased consistently since RSS, Brent Corrigan, Queer Me Now, Queer Porn Nation and others have added links to either my site or blog. Hopefully there’s a lot more to come. I’m working on content for the members area but honestly, it’s going a lot slower than I’d like. Mostly because it’s financially overwhelming. The cost to fly models in added to models fees and hosting and everything else is a boner killer lol I thought about looking for some financial aid or getting an investor but I’d hate not having total control of what goes on this site or about my image. I suppose I’m just trying to learn from other people’s mistakes instead of making my own.

I also received an email from Owen Keehnen, author or STARZ and MORE STARZ. He’s working on the sequel of his book called SEX STARZ and he wants me to be part of it. The format of his book would remain the same, where he interviews porn performers and publishes some pictures. I’m very thrilled that I was chosen to be part of it since I’m quite new to this business. Just so you know some of the great names in porn are featured in his books, including porn stars turned porn businessmen — the king of the west Michael Brandon and the east, Michael Lucas. So being part of this new project will be a great honor for me. I’m already working on my questions. Everything needs to be done in the next 3 weeks so I need to get my ass to work. RSS is going to provide him with the pictures, so I’m sure Kent Taylor will get sick of me pretty soon lol. You can buy Owen Keehnen’s books at amazon.com.

You guys are probably gonna think I had a fight with “Diggi” (my digital camera) in the last couple of weeks. I haven’t taken a single picture since I came back from California. On my first weekend after the shoot my friends took me to a beach on Cape Cod and we also went sailing (insert inside joke here lol). Everything would have been perfect if it wasn’t for this really annoying guy that totally had no idea of the concept of the “bubble” or personal space. He was in everyone’s faces all the time… really annoying. But why talk about the bad moments hehehe After the beach we went to dinner at this really nice French restaurant at the Mashpee Commons and I drove home pretty much alone since everyone else was dead sleeping in the car. Such babies! lol

The following weekend I headed out to NYC to visit friends. Unfortunately I didn’t plan too well, and most of my friends were out of town! I did some shopping, went to some clubs, met some really cool new people there. NYC is always a blast. There was this exhibit going on that I really wanted to see – Bodies – at the Sea Port Museum. This time I remember to bring Diggi with me but pictures were not allowed inside the Museum so it wasn’t totally my fault that I don’t have any pictures from NYC either :-p

Being part of the RSS-List keeps me busy, too. And that’s a blast for me since I love traveling. I just got word from Michael Brandon about my next project. TROUSER TROUT is a fly fishing movie directed by Michael Brandon for his Monster Bang line and it’s gonna be shot in Russian River, Ca.  Some of the familiar faces for me will be RJ Danvers and Antonio Biaggi. They were both also in GRUNTS with me. RJ is more familiar to me since I had a scene with him. Unfortunately, this time we won’t be working together. My co-stars will be Bo Matthews, Mason Wyler and Derrick Hanson. If you follow the porn industry, you know who they are and if you don’t what are you doing reading this blog anyway? lol just Bo is one of the stars in Tailpipes, Roman Ragazzi’s first released RSS film, also directed by Michael Brandon. Mason Wyler burst into gay porn in August of 2005 appearing on the wildly popular “Amateur” web site CorbinFisher.com. With a natural, all-American boy look, Mason quickly became one of the site’s stars appearing in a total of 6 scenes. He was also featured in CorbinFisher.com’s print ad campaign. I could be wrong but I believe this is Mason’s first movie for RSS, but nonetheless, he has worked for great studios out there like Colt, Titan, Hot House and Falcon. Derrick Hanson won the GAYVN prize for best three-some in Michael Lucas’ La Dolce Vita when he was paired with Jason Ridge and Michael Lucas. What else should I say about this guy?! Mmmm that’s what I thought!

Needless to say, this is another great project I’m gonna have the honor to be part of.  I’m sure we’re all gonna have a blast making this movie. Plus, who wouldn’t wanna see me, Chad Hunt and all the other hotties in waders rolling around the riverside. Come to think of it, we wont be wearing waders for long! lol

After all this fun I get to go back to San Francisco for the Folsom Street Fair. I always wanted to go, but to be part of it will be even better. RSS is bringing back the cast of GRUNTS and a few others to promote the movie at Folsom. So we’re gonna be this little porn militia walking around the streets of San Francisco. Hopefully, by then, the authorities will know we can’t cause any harm and we wont have any problems this time.  And don’t worry, I’ll bring Diggi with me this time for sure

Well guys, that’s it for today. The pictures posted on this blog were all done — I’d say more than a month ago — by my friend Jack. So thanks Jack, once more, for tolerating my demands lol

Until next time

Xoxo
