Well this past weekend I did not feature dance, or host a party or do anything glamorous on any level… this weekend I attended the Phoenix Forum. It is a convention where people focus on all the boring things about porn that no one thinks of when they are jerking off- like affiliate programs, search engine optimization, key-words, billing, cascade billing and blah blah blah. Basically it was lots of web geeks hanging out and exchanging secrets on how to be successful in the internet porno world. I actually learned a lot and I do enjoy nerding out sometimes- it was nice to go to a convention where I go to show off my mind and not just my body. I love the porn side of porn, but I really do love the “business” side of porn…. and I hope to be as savvy at this game one day as the top people in the industry are.

It was my goal to get our new network of sites up and running before this show so I could go and promote it to all the webmasters there. Yeah. Have you SEEN the network of sites? It’s pretty cool. I am very proud of us…. my favorite one I think is “heavy metal pussy party“. It has the scene with me and Sasha Grey in it… If you don’t like it, well scroll down to the bottom of the home page and look around at all the other sites we have and see if any of them suit you. I hate to turn this into a total promotional pitch but, you can join all 8 sites in the network (this includes BurningAngel.com) for $19.99. And if you are already a BA member you can upgrade your membership here for an extra couple dollars and get access to all the sites instead of just one. Sorry. I hate to be such a sales-woman but I thought it was valuable information you perverts should all know.

ANYWAYS -what is far more important than the knowledge I gained from going to the convention- along with the promotional benefits- was the amazing selection of snacks that was available 24 hours a day. It really was incredible. There are definitely no free snacks anywhere at the AEE Expo…. maybe AVN wants all us porno hoes to lose a few more pounds that weekend so we look top notch for the awards show. Who knows… all I do know is that no one at the Phoenix Forum cared about how much weight we all gained at the show…. they in fact encouraged it.

There was this ever so amazing “snack room” – and it was basically like heaven. There were drawers and drawers full of candy, granola bars, cookies, chocolate bars, gummy worms, etc. AND someone came and refilled the drawers anytime like 5 candy bars were missing. I felt like this was something that would exist in Willy Wonka’s Chocolate factory- only it was better, because there was more than just chocolate! Going to the Phoenix Forum was like getting the golden ticket… really.

Anyways, here I am digging through just the top snack drawer- and sticking candy bars in my boobs.

Oh yeah- did I happen to mention that there wasn’t JUST snacks that came in bags in the utopia that is the snack-room…. but there was also a fucking freezer filled with BEN AND JERRYS Ice cream in the middle of the room. It was incredible. I showed my love for the ice cream by straddling it.

Yum. ICE CREAM!

And here I am looking for some more stuff in the mini-fridge.

And here is me finding a pine-apple in the mini-fridge! I don’t know why a pineapple was put in the snack-room but whatever. It was pretty cool.

and here is my co-pilot Mitch Fontaine who discovered the big vat of hot fudge that was readily available to spill all over any kind of ice-cream to enhance the taste.

Um, well I am trying to get really good at taking photos of myself from that really cool myspace-ish angle, and this was a practice. There were no seminars at the convention on how to take better myspace photos but, there really should have been. It is an important part of internet marketing! So um, should I put this on myspace? Or should I keep practicing. I think my nose looks kinda big in this picture. Maybe the super cool msypace angle is not really meant to be for jewish girls. I think you need a pointier nose for this to have the effect it’s supposed to have. Oh yeah, as you can see… I still had a candy bar in my boob. Yum.

Alright well, there was barely any female porn stars at the convention. However, there were a bunch of gay male porn stars. I learned that the hot thing in gay porn right now are triplets- they are called the Visconti Triplets. They don’t bang each other, but they bang next to each other and switch off and stuff. Rumor has it that one is totally gay, one is straight, and one is Bi. I don’t know why straight guys would do gay porn. It really baffles my mind… but there are a lot of them. At least, they claim to be not gay. The straight triplet apparently has a wife and kids. This was all told to me by another guy in the gay porn industry- I have not looked it up online or anything. So basically if you are writing a thesis paper on gay porn please don’t quote me. I could totally be wrong.

Well here are two out of the three triplets. I don’t know which of the three they are. I also want to add that a big tribal tattoo is only OK if you are a famous gay porn star…. if you have a big tribal, and you are not a gay porn star- well then I will just assume that it is your goal to be one and thus I won’t make any sexual advances at you.

(I felt very unmuscular in between these two dudes so I tried to act buff)

I don’t know if I weirded out any of you homophobes out by posting photos of me with gay brothers- so to balance it out I am posting some photos of the cute girls who handed out red-bull on the street outside the hotel. I don’t know why they were handing out Redbull, but that shit is fucking expensive…. and I like drinking it… so I am glad they were. Unfortunately they didn’t have sugar-free Redbull and straight Redbull is a bit much for me. Well anyways, here they are. GO REDBULL!
