Recently at the BAC (Battersea Arts Centre) they showed the entireity of Twin Peaks back to back. Now, I’m covering it for a magazine so I won’t go into it fully other than to say I was really rather unfortunately hit with godawful flu that weekend and it was full-on-intense anyway, like melt-your-guts-with-bottomless-coffee-whilst-staying-awake-for-days kinda intense PLUS being super-ill, PLUS it being the mind-bendingly weird world of Twin Peaks. Anyway, you can imagine. But, I did think you might all want to see my photos. I took a colleague’s Lomography Fish Eye with me and it was the first time I’ve ever used one. I can’t say I’m over the moon with the results but I guess I would give it another go at some point. Anyway, you can decide for yourself.

Oh and someone sent this to me over Twitter and it’s just the most awesome thing ever so WATCH THIS NOW!

I’m not sure if I like vintage porn because I like vintage porn or whether I just like it because I sit there and go Ooooh, I want those socks! Or Check out how awesome her white lace gloves are! Vintage porn has it all for me: fit girls and fit outfits. The *only* bad thing about it is the high-waisted panties, ain’t nothing right about that.
I showed you the Electric Blue intro sequence with it’s super-amazing theme tune in my last post but I’ve got a rather lovely image gallery for you today complete with snaps of the gorgeous Charmaine Sinclair so enjoy. x

BEST. THEME. TUNE. EVER.

I found out about Electric Blue a little while ago from someone at work who told me that I would *love* it. They weren’t bloody well wrong. I absolutely fucking love it. I’m totally crushing on the blonde in the red glasses as well. Also, I totally love all the clothes (and lack of).

In a weird twist of fate, in the same week I find out we’re having an Electric Blue weekender on our sister channel Red Hot TV, sky channel 956, next weekend, I also get a message from a pal at SFX magazine with a weird little tidbit of info about the show. Basically, the guy that used to write the Doctor Who comics, Roger Noel Cook, then went on to create Electric Blue *and* write the theme tune! You can read an interesting interview with him, and his amusing reference to Muff, Fuzz and Snatch, [here].

The truth really is sex, and cars and dreams. x

A few years ago my friend and I made a really rubbish joint New Years resolution. We decided to watch the entireity of X-Files in the space of a year. I say rubbish because we managed a grand total of about four episodes before we just lost interest. Also, in London, it’s really hard to organise anything with regularity.
Due to my amazing Amazon Wishlist I have come into possession of several Star Trek: The Next Generation boxsets. The person who bought them for me is nothing short of a Prince Amongst Princes. Anyhow, I told my pal about the boxsets and we’ve decided to have another crack at it but this time with TNG. I was a bit worried at first and season one can be a bit shit at times (beardless Riker eeeek!) but my friend has assuaged my fears by explaining that with X-Files we knew it was just going to get shitter but with TNG it’s just going to keep getting better and better. Riker’s beard is going to keep getting better and let’s face it, Deanna’s jumpsuits are going to get tighter. Also, watching Wil Wheaton grow up on telly- Amaze! I’ll let y’all know how it goes and if you follow me on Twitter I’ll do a r/t account of it all.

On a side note: it was Patrick Stewart’s birthday on Tuesday. How cool would it have been if Star Trek Club had started on his birthday?

I mentioned a little while back that the beautiful Ms San Dimas would be appearing in Layla Jade Does Hollywood. Well that very series starts airing on Television X (Sky 903) this Saturday! The first episode stars Layla, Poppy Morgan and Jack Vegas so you’ll have to wait until next week to catch Andy. It’s worth watching all the episodes though as they’re rather good! Tune in at 10:10pm on 17 April for Poppy and 23 April for Andy.

Back in 2007 I helped to organise a gig in my hometown where some friends of mine performed a cover version of the Bobby De Niro Calypso. Somehow it caught the attention of Adam Buxton and he wrote about it on his blog!

Here’s the original from The Adam & Joe for comparison…

And one last little #save6music plug, here is a video I watched 45 minutes ago (I’d decided to do an Adam&Joe blog last night so I was chuffed to find this!) of Adam Buxton challenging Mark Thompson to a fight live on Channel Four news with regards to the closure of BBC 6Music radio station. Fucking brill.

It was a lot of fun helping out with the pre-production of this show, helping Portway Films come up with the ideas for each episode and suggesting porno-lookalikes for the various celebrity roles. You can check out the little microsite over at Television X to see hardcore clips of each episode to see how well we matched them up.

The episode that was being filmed when I visited the set was the last episode, the wedding scene, which was great as I got to see Demetri and Michelle Moist again and got to meet Cate Harrington, Kerry Louise and Elle Brook for the first time. It’s fun watching the girls get their make-up done as they’re all really chatty and funny so you get to hear some GREAT porno gossip! In between make-up sessions I filmed mini-interviews with all the cast, hopefully these should be edited soon.

A lot of time and attention-to-detail went into Kerry’s outfit, as you can probably tell from the photos. Her petticoat was amazing and created the awesome meringue effect you can see. What was not so awesome however was having to climb under her dress to tie it up. I have never had my face so close to a pornstar’s arse before. I’m sure some of my male readers are coughing and spluttering right now saying whaaaa?! That sounds amazing! Well, you weren’t bent over double stuck under a very stiff petticoat trying to tie a bow to keep the whole thing up whilst it’s slipping down.

You can also check out Kerry Louise’s blog as I’m pretty sure she’s posting about the show today too.

I know I’ve mentioned this before but I haven’t blogged in ages (more on the reasons behind that soon!) so I thought you might enjoy a little recap on what I’ve been up to at work. One of my tasks at the moment is helping to organise the UK’s biggest gang-bang.

Basically, we’re on the hunt for 150 proper British blokes to bang pornstar Ruby Reds in an effort to get in the record books. Part of my job entails in pimping our press release out and getting the word out that this is open to any man over the age of 18.

So as you can imagine I am privy to the applications. And one thing that has shocked me is how young most of the applicants are. To be fair, when you see someone’s d-o-b and it’s 1990 and that creeps you out, you know you’re getting on a bit! But seriously, a lot of the applicants are young, and out of the ones who’ve sent in their pictures, some of them are quite cute!

Once again, my job makes me feel naive. I thought the vast majority would be the stereotype I’m sure a lot of you imagine. But it’s really not. It’s a lot of young guys that want to do something a little bit crazy in their youth. Good on ‘em! It’s all safe so why the fuck not?

This week has been porno-week on the BBC with not one but two documentaries about the smut industry. Certainly the more light-hearted one was BBC4′s Rich Man Poor Man: Ben Dover Straightens Up. The film followed Lindsay Honey trying to leave behind his porno-alter-ego Ben Dover and get a serious acting role. It was actually quite sad to watch as he did come across really well, and was a surprisingly good actor (even Ken Russell is seen to be impressed by him, but he did go on Celebrity Big Brother so I’m not entirely convinced how much we can fully trust his opinion), but as much as he expresses his desire to break free from porn, you get the impression that he feels it’s the only thing he’s actually any good at.

Watching him reminise about his pop star past is equally as heart-wrenching. Perhaps it’s just clever editing but your heart really does go out for him at key moments. It’s quite nice to see a different side to him that’s *as* endearing as his cheeky chappy on-screen character* but then at other times the lines between Ben and Lindsay seem to blur and I’m not entirely sure who is on screen.

Rich Man Poor Man is certainly worth a watch as it does go a long way towards humanising adult performers. Seeing in their private lives, albeit one who’s at the top of their game, is an interesting and entertaining prospect. And, added bonus, you can also see Lindsay on set in St Trinian’s spoof ‘St Teenycums: Nymphic Games’, getting made up to look like headteacher Miss Britton. Fact: Ben Dover is funnier in a dress.

BBC porn. It’s not often you expect to hear those two words in a sentence together, is it? Well, unless it’s some depressing documentary on BBC2 that sets out to uncover that ever pornstar who ever lived was coerced into the industry. But no, director Amory Peart has gone and made a porno version of the popular Beeb sci-fi show Life On Mars. He’s done away with a central male lead and instead cast hot Geordie girl Syren Sexton as DC Joan Simms. I’m going to pretend there wasn’t a collective groan there and tell you all that it’s actually really quite funny. Watch this NSFW clip to see what I mean. If my non-porno fan readers can get past the small bit of fucking in the title sequence, the set-up at the beginning is brilliant. Syren Sexton is coming in leaps and bounds in her scenes and is one of the few porno actresses that is as good as the talkie bits as she is at the sexing. I’ve seen this girl in action in real life and my jaw dropped at her blowjob technique. Seriously, I was envious. Luckily for us, she recently wrote some Sex Tips for Platform Magazine and did a step-by-step guide to cock sucking. Hurrah! Now we can all much on the pork sword like a pro
