NOTE: I post this for every AVN and Erotica LA. If you are a fan planning to attend a adult convention, then this is the blog entry for you.
With the Erotica LA convention coming up next weekend, I thought I’d take a moment to give some tips and suggestions to the fans about attending the convention when meeting their favorite porn star.
1. HYGIENE
a. Shower: Take one. Soap, water and shampoo is your friend.
b. Wear Deodorant: The number one complaint I heard from women in porn is the body odor that some fans have when they come to meet their favorite porn stars.
c. Shave your face: None of the girls enjoy having your sandpaper five o’clock shadow grinding against their face when you get a picture taken with them.
d: Cologne: The ladies enjoy a nice fragrance but don’t dump a bucket of it over yourself. A little goes a long way.
e: Brush your teeth: No one wants to smell your bad breath. Especially if you are a “close” talker.
2. ETIQUETTE
a. Patience: Wait your turn in line. No need to push, shove and to try to jam your camera in a porn star’s face, down their shirt or up their skirt. The ladies are there to meet and greet every one of the fans, not just you.
b. Don’t get grabby: When taking a picture with a porn star, keep your arms and hands around her waist. If she wants you to grab her breast or ass for a picture, let her put your hand there. Once the picture is taken, remove your hands.
c. No Loitering: The porn stars are there to meet their fans and may not have time to sit and chat with you. Walk up, say hello, get your picture, and move on.
d. Eye Contact: Women in porn do not have eyes on their chest or ass. Look them in the eyes when you talk to them. They will appreciate it.
e: No declarations of love: Don’t walk up to a porn star and ask them out on a date, tell them that you are madly in love with them or ask them to marry you. Security will be called.
f. Don’t pretend you don’t understand English: When a porn star tells you not to touch or doesn’t want you to stick your cell phone camera up the back of her dress, don’t suddenly look at her blankly like you don’t understand her. It just makes you look like an idiot.
3. OTHER
a. If you sweat a lot, drink a lot of water to keep yourself cool and keep a small stick of deodorant with you. You can pick up mini sized deodorant from a local Rite-Aid, Ralphs or Save-On for $2. Keep it in your pocket or bag.
b. Check your breath through out the day. Bring gum or mints with you. Again, No one wants to smell you had for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Last thing you want to do is make your favorite porn personality faint due to your onion and liver flavored breath.
This is a chance to meet your fantasy girl. Enjoy the opportunity and the convention. Hope these tips help and if anyone wishes to add to the list, feel free to leave a comment.

After quite some time, I’ve begun to update the photos powderxxx.com again.
New photos from RudeTV have been uploaded for the month of May. Finally the new laptop is working out for me.
Here are a couple examples from the updates.
Some recent events have gotten me to start thinking about the perceptions we, the people in the adult business, have about ourselves vs the perceptions the “mainstream” world has of us.
The mainstream world, news media and religious groups would like to have the general populous believe that we are all “damaged” in some way, hence why we work in the adult biz. After all, its much easier to generalize and point fingers at others, instead of looking inward at ones self to see their own flaws. A lot of times, these people tend to forget that we as humans, are flawed beings. No one is perfect. No one ever will be perfect. Its against our own human nature to be so.
Are porn people damaged? Of course we are but, no more then anyone else in the world. Its always easier to point out the damage in a small, concentrated group. Even though people in the porn biz number in a couple thousand, its an incredibly small group when compared to the rest of the world. So of course personality flaws or vices are going to be easier to see. It doesn’t take a genius to understand that.
Its much easier for news media to use us as a quick ratings boost when needed, then report on every day “boring” real world issues. Its much easier for religion to try and “save” us, rather then focus on saving their own followers who are abused by sexually frustrated priests, or even to help their own community who has fallen on hard economic times.
Over the past five years, I’ve seen all types of personalities come and go through the adult business. I’ve seen alcoholics, drug addicts, attention mongers, ego maniacs, sex addicts, pathological liars, bottom feeders and various emotionally stunted people in different stages of their flawed personalities. On the flip side, I’ve seen well adjusted people, who genuinely enjoy their job and live normal lives (though they are an exception to the rule most of the time). I’m sure if you took the average major city and put it under the microscope, you’d find just as many people (if not more) with the same exact issues.
Hell, I admit I am damaged goods. My major damage is, I’m emotionally detached. If I reach a certain point of getting close to someone, I completely shut down emotionally and detached myself. I guess its a fear of being hurt or letting that part of myself be touched by another person. In the past when I’ve been cheated on or hurt by someone, instead of exploding with emotion, I shut down and walked away.
I’m also stubborn and very set in my ways. I get into a routine and stress out when pulled from it.
Make no mistake, its not because I’m emotionally detached that I am in the porn business. I was damaged before I got into this business. I’ve been this way 15 years. At least I can say I know about my flaws and can admit to them.
The porn world is also a world of enablers. Alcohol and drugs are very easy to get for people of all ages in the business. Someone always knows a person, who can get anything the buyer wants. Its one of the biggest problems in our business. The mainstream world can and will point out that fact at every chance they get. The sad part is that they aren’t wrong. As I stated in a previous blog entry, if I had come into the adult business when I was in my 20’s, I would have fallen into the “porn lifestyle” as well. Most likely ended up a drug addict and a drunk, partying away all my money as so many in this business do.
While porn might seem to be a some sort of “wonderland”, again we are generally no different in our damage the the average person out there. Its just up to the mainstream world to get the idea and start concentrating inward on their own issues, instead of ours. Of course as it is with our very nature as people, that wont happen any time soon.
After all… we all are only human.
Before I begin, just wanted to point out new blog links have been added to this site and soon to the links section of powderxxx.com.
Make sure to check out the blogs of Alexis Golden, Marley Mason, Traci Islands and Lennox. All are good reads and make sure to show them some love for their blogging efforts.
The last several weeks have been filled with long hours at both RudeTV and Nakedchatlive. So much so, that even though I got my new laptop finally, I haven’t had time to put any work into updating powderxxx.com’s photo galleries. I’m really happy with the new machine and have a big desire to put it to use. Just haven’t had the time.
The other bonus of the new equipment is that the idea of shooting my own unique content for the site is closer to becoming a reality. Again, it has to all do with time and lack there of. Its a frustrating place to be, in the cusp of beginning a new phase in my adult career but, I’ve waited four years so, whats a few months more?
I have been receiving some very kind words of encouragement as of late. I’m not sure I’m deserving of whats been said but, I feel very humbled and thankful for the attention. Of course, as there is an action for every reaction, I’ve heard a few negatives as well. The positives definitely out weight the negatives in this case.
Well, Summer has hit and things are beginning to heat up. Erotica LA is right around the corner. I always look forward to Erotica LA and AVN, as I get to see a lot of industry people I don’t get to see often. I’ll be there taking video and pictures for powderxxx.com and for RudeTV as well. It will be interesting to see how the economy effects the show this year.
As I close out for the night, thanks to Kelly Skyline and Ava Rose for showing their support for my website.
I’m feeling pretty good today. Recently I’ve had a lot of people in the industry show their support and give encouragement toward me and powderxxx.com. Sometimes I feel a bit alone in the world, due to all the work I’m doing and the very little amount of play or social life I get to have. The support and kind words have been a nice reminder that I am not.
Got new powderxxx.com business cards finally but, the phone number is wrong. Like a dumb ass I put down my old cell number and not my current one.
I started talking to female performer BB Gunn, who also performed under the name “Lennox” years ago. She made a return to the industry recently and is embracing the new digital age with great enthusiasm. She just started a blog at http://lennoxblog.wordpress.com and a Youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/lennoxent. Visit her sites and show your support.
Got a call from “The Original” Tommy Gunn (no relation to BB) yesterday. Chatted from awhile and he informed me that his role in CSI Las Vegas is rerun tonight on CBS at 9pm PT. Tune in and check him out!
The new Myspace for Powderxxx.com if growing rapidly. Spending time adding people from my normal myspace. Already up to 700 people. You can check it out and join here: http://www.myspace.com/powderwhitexxx
I also wanted to thank Krissy Lynn and Brittany Blaze for showing their support for my website.
I’ve created a new Myspace just for Powderxxx.com. You can check it out and join here: http://www.myspace.com/powderwhitexxx
Thanks to Jayla Starr and Zander Kane for showing their support.
I was going through some recent photos I took at RudeTV and decided to share. Enjoy.

So its been awhile sense I posted so I thought it was due time to sit and do a bit of blogging. Working two jobs has been fruitful, if not exhausting.
Finally replaced my old Canon Powershot A540 6MP camera with a new Canon Powershot A1000is 10MP camera. Pictures have been coming out much much better with a much smaller blur factor. I also got a nice gift from my roommate, of a Canon Z900 MiniDV camera. Been using it to capture BTS footage at RudeTV during breaks and such. The MiniDV format is being cycled out of the consumer market, with Flash and Harddrive technology taking over so, I’m glad I could get my hands on one.
Next I plan to buy lights and a HD camera so I can start doing content exchange finally. I plan to stay behind the camera and film solo or couples scenes. I’d also like to get a pro still camera as well as time goes on. I’ve always enjoyed filming and taking stills so, maybe its an unexplored and hidden passion.
RudeTV has been going steady and strong. About 9pm I’ve found myself feeling completely wiped out and drained. Most likely due to my lack of eating properly. Need to change that.
Nakedchatlive has been expanding at a rapid rate. As weekend are a little less chaotic then weekdays, I’ve been able to focus more on individual girls to help guild them into improving on camera. It time consuming but, the payoff it well worth it. If the girls are making money, that means I’m doing my job.
On the more personal side, my roommate has been looking at buying a house so I might be moving in a few months. She wants to me live there with her but, I really like the apartment I’m in and not sure I want to give it up. Time will tell I guess.
I did an impromptu photo shoot with new porn performer Lana Phoenix a few days ago. Here are a few of the pictures for your enjoyment.

Lana Phoenix can be booked through Goldstar Modeling
As a bonus, here are some photos I took of the lovely Regan Reese at RudeTV yesterday.
Happy St. Paddy’s Day everyone! Kiss me, I really am Irish 
Life has been keeping me busy. Working two jobs (with a possible third on the way) has taken a small toll but, I am adjusting. I’m still not entirely pleased with my income and want to get out of debt faster. Lynn LeMay offered me an opportunity to come out of hiatus with LeMayzing, which I may take.
All has been going well at both RudeTV and Nakedchatlive but, obviously the blog and my website have taken a bit hit in updates. Creatively I’ve been drained (which I knew was going to happen with working so much). I don’t have any plans to take down the site or get rid of the blog but, for the time being both are on HOLD. I’ll mostly blog when I feel like it.
Just wanted to give everyone a small update on whats be going on.
I was forced into it but I’m now on Twitter at:
Its been a long but productive week for me. Working seven days a week is beginning to pay off. Credit card debt is disappearing, car is being paid off and bills are being caught up on. As I sit managing the Nakedchatlive office, the silence around me gives time to reflect on this last entire month. A lot of opportunities have come my way recently, which I am thankful for. After 5 years in the adult business, it feels good that finally I am seeing a return on such a long investment.
Unfortunately, I’ve run across a lot of people who are feeling the bite of the sagging American economy at the moment. At least twice a week, I hear from industry friends, who are getting deeper into debt with each passing day. Performers who are shooting, are shooting a lot but, the general adult industry population isn’t finding work. A lot of performers are turning to the ‘net to start their websites up in hopes of generating revenue.
The downside, is that the typical porn performer is… well… lazy.
As much as they are into the idea of doing a website NOW, as time goes by they will become disenchanted. Once they realize how much work it takes to maintain a steady stream of fresh content, the sites will usually fall into neglect. I admit I am guilty of it as well with Powderxxx.com which, I have neglected along with this blog, as of late.
I have tried to do my part by offering webcam jobs here at Nakedchatlive to several of these struggling female performers, which can bring them between $500 and $1000 per week. At first they are very interested but, once they find out that it takes 6 to 8 hours a day to make that money, most of them shy away. Its frustrating when you see someone let an opportunity slip through their fingers that way. Especially, when they have been complaining how broke they are (yet still spend money on pot and go to industry parties).
As frustrating as it can be, I don’t feel any sympathy for those performers any longer. They made a CHOICE not to take an opportunity for steady work. Only they can decide for themselves, when to mature and become responsible. No one can do that for them.
Personally, I am glad that I got into the industry at an older age. I’m sure back when I was 21, I’d have fallen into the “porn lifestyle” full speed and be in the same situation that, a lot of industry people find themselves in now.
