Well, I just got back into Los Angeles. I spent 10 days in New York and it sure went by quickly!

Let me bring up the highlights of My New York trip:

Hmm. First of all, I ate Rosh Hashana dinner with my family. Not one night, but two nights! Yes. They are that hardcore. All Jewish holidays are supposed to be celebrated for two nights in America – and only one night in Israel. Why? Well, because according to the Jew law, all the Jews who don’t live in Israel have to do twice as much to make up for not living there. It’s pretty ridiculous! It’s like a tax American Jews have to pay or something. My mom grew up in Israel so she kinda thinks day two of the holiday is pointless, but she also feels guilty for selling out and moving to America so she does celebrate it…and she forces us (me and my sisters) to do it too.  For those of you who don’t know, Rosh Hashana is the Jewish New Year. Unfortunately, the Jew New Year does not mean Jews go out and get wasted and count down from 10 at midnight and make out with whoever is standing next to them.  It means something like a time to try to start fresh, and amend any problems you caused with anyone that year, and do whatever you can do to make some kinda pact with God to have a better year than your last one. read the rest of this entry….

Here is Me, Skin, Tony Hawk and Jason Ellis all ready and excited to make the best 15 minute movie/Easter egg on a CD ever made.

So I came home, and in about one hour I unpacked my camping bag and then packed a porno convention bag- then got picked up to go to the airport. The packing for this trip was a little confusing because this was a “business to business” convention. I was not signing, or selling movies… I was speaking on panels, to other people in the porn industry. How do you dress like a girl who owns her own Alt Porn Company, and performs in her own movies, but knows what she is talking about? Not quite sure. A summer dress from H and M seemed to scream all these things… I think?

Coming here straight from camping led to one big problem. My toes very much looked like hiking toes, and not like educated porn star toes. So before I spoke, I woke up early and indulged in the hotel’s overpriced spa and got a pedicure. I should have taken a before and after picture but… I didn’t. While I totally trust all my fellow blog readers, I don’t know if we are quite at that level yet for you to see my crusty camping toes. Maybe one day… but not now… particularly in a recession.

Here is the result of the pedicure that cost about $40 more than what I usually spend on a pedicure. It does look pretty sweet.

I was asked to speak on three different panels.

One was about building a brand with social networking- a fancy title for a panel that should really be called “talking to a bunch of old fashioned people about twitter.” Another was about niche marketing where I shared a panel with someone from JT Stockroom, someone from Good Vibrations, and the transsexual superstar Wendy Williams- that one was a lot of fun!

The other panel was about a very scary law that could get passed one day where all websites associated with porn would be forced to have a .XXX domain name.

Stuart Lawley from ICANN (the registry that controls domain names) has spent over 10 millions dollars on this campaign, and has tried to convince the media- and even a lot of people in porn that this could be a positive thing. He claims that this will “protect children” and be something positive for porn consumers… but it’s very obviously a way for him to make a shitload of extra money and put every pornographer/ porn retailer on the web into a ghetto, and make us all look extremely illegitimate.

The .xxx domains will supposedly cost $60 per domain.

Your average porn company owns about 500 domain names… that adds up really quickly. It can also seriously fuck with the way porn sites appear in Google and Yahoo search engines. I could go on and on- it would NOT be a good thing, and I hope the Free Speech Coalition is able to fight this. If you care to read more about this you can at http://dotxxxopposition.com/.

Anyways- here I am on the panel with Diane, the president of the Free Speech Coalition, Colin Rowntree the webmaster and owner of Wasteland.com, Christopher O’Connell a chief programmer for Mikandi.com, and Michael Klien, the president of Hustler. It was quite a group!

Here I am looking official.
Don’t fuck with me Stuart Lawley!!
I don’t want to pay $60 for every domain I own!
I have pedicures to get!!
