I have doctor anxiety. “White Coat Syndrome“. Fear of anything medical-related. I think I got it from my mother; she has it too.
So, when I received a postcard in the mail telling me it was once again time for a gynecologist visit, I cringed. My heart started pounding and my mind raced. How long could [...]

I am seriously about to dye my hair orange and shave one side….I am that happy! What could get me this giddy, you ask? Is the pit bull convention in town? Or maybe the tattoo parlor is having a half off sale? No, and no (though a girl can dream). I’m so happy [...]

Hi everyone.
It looks like I’m lucky enough to be part of a fun “ask Margaret Cho” segment we’ll be filming in the near future! That’s right, we get to hang out with GV Board Member Ms. Cho and ask her questions. How great is my job?
So…..tell me, if you had 30 seconds with Margaret Cho…what [...]

So, I FINALLY heard back from YouTube about their decision to pull our GVTV episode featuring an interview with Shine from Pink and White Productions.
Here’s the email:
Hi there,
Thanks for your email.
We’ve reviewed your video and found that it’s a little too explicit, and is in violation of our Terms of Use. It cannot be re-instated.
Please [...]

By now I’m sure you’ve all heard about Tim Hardaway and his very public rant about “hating” gay people. Well, guess what? I hate too. I hate what has happened lately regarding sexuality and sports. Seriously, wtf is going on?
Here are some key elements of Hardaway’s public “speech:”
• I hate gay people
• I let it [...]

I like to tell people that I was “gay raised” by a bear. And, by that, I mean that when I was a young, naïve, budding queer of 20, I had the luck of working with an older gay man who shared his queer wisdom with me.
By the way, before I go on, [...]

Where have I been? Maybe I’ve been watching too much Bravo? I’m not sure, but Here TV hasn’t been on my radar. Until now, that is. Here TV describes itself as “America’s premium gay television network.” (Looks like LOGO has some competition!)
Anyway, here’s the most exciting part….some of our friends from Pink & White [...]

It’s hard work, I tell you, but part of my job entails scouring YouTube for sex-related videos. I like to see what’s out there, and what kind of information is making its way around the internet world. Unfortunately, some things I’ve come across lately are quite telling of the homophobia and hate that [...]

Hey everybody, did you get a chance to check out Violet Blue’s SF Gate article about Pink and White Productions? It’s a great bit about the “lesbian glass ceiling” when it comes to both the straight and gay porn industries. Make sure to check it out!

My high school 20-year reunion is coming up this summer. The reunion web site has started making its way around — you know, the one where people post pictures of their children (more so than themselves, what’s up with that?) and state their occupation and marital status.
I received the web site via email [...]

About a month ago, I was lucky enough to be invited to the press screening of Superfreak, the new film by the maker’s of the popular The Crash Pad. The film’s premise is that the ghost of Rick James joins an all-girl party, and the opening scene stars Madison Bound (and co-stars a glass wand)… [...]

When you’re watching an adult flick and your co-worker is one of the stars… yeah, it can be a little strange. But, it’s also pretty interesting, as most folks don’t have the opportunity to ask a bona-fide porn star questions like “what it’s like to have sex with 10 people watching you?”
My co-worker, let’s call [...]

“Gosh, is everyone you work with a porn-star,” asks my girlfriend when I tell her about interview #3 in what is becoming known as the “Porn Star Series”. (Well, I guess I’ll find out, because I’ve started to ask around, just to see.)
Beau Flex (aka Jiz Lee) may be new to professional porn, but she’s [...]
