Men Are the New Black

First, there was Neanderthal TV. Then, there was fratire. Now, Assholes Finish First. Feminism begat postfeminism. Political correctness begat the New Manliness. Men are the new black.

Art Is More Powerful Than Porn

Jim Lewis has written a brilliant piece on art and porn: "Dirty Pictures." His focus is on "Destricted," a collection of seven short films described as "'explicit chic' for the 21st century." In Larry Clark's "Impaled": "The artist interviews a series of young men who want to break into the porn industry, and chooses one. Together, he and the winner interview a series of women who are already porn stars; the kid picks one; and they have sex. The whole thing lasts 38 minutes, and when it's over, you just don't know what to think." Here, the reality behind pornography is unmasked. And, it isn't pretty. Anybody who has been on the set of an adult movie has witnessed this. Sometimes, people ask me why I am interested in pornography. I am not interested in the product. I am interested in Porn Valley, the moments of uberreality in its extreme surreality: the girl over the barrel with flames shooting up all around her, the man with the chainsaw smile whose T-shirt reads "Can't Hold Back the Demons," the moments of beauty in the midst of all the rubble.

Skin City

The 24th Annual AVN Awards will take place on January 13, 2007, at Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. In January, the New York Times reported on the event with video coverage from the red carpet. Now, any member of the public can buy tickets at Ticketmaster. George Plimpton and David Foster Wallace are among the writers who have ventured to Skin City for the Porn Oscars. I may be there this year.

How to Make Money Like a Porn Star

Author Neil Strauss and illustrator Bernard Chang have created a new adult graphic novel: How to Make Money Like a Porn Star, arriving in bookstores next week. Strauss co-authored Jenna Jameson's How to Make Love Like a Porn Star. The book is the story of Claudia Corvette:

"From her tousled bedroom hair to her name--all the porn stars in this world take their names from supermodels and sports cars--she is adult entertainment's prototypical femme fatale. Her life is the collision of countless troubled-childhood clichés and grown-up wet dreams, projected onto her as surely as her videos project their blue light onto lonely men around the world. From its first panel, How to Make Money Like a Porn Star draws the reader into the dark world of girls like Claudia, the men who fantasize about them, and the monsters who control them. In the hands of Rolling Stone writer Neil Strauss and illustrator Bernard Chang, this adult graphic novel weaves together black humor and blacker reality. Like all great American stories, it features humble beginnings, life-changing tragedy, stripping, abuse, implants, fame, addiction, bigger implants, abduction, gunplay, downfall, and even bigger implants. Not to mention a thousand shades of latex and L'Oreal. Part parody, part morality tale, here is the truth about the porn life, its outsized visual splendor captured in a comic parade of doe-eyed centerfolds, its essence distilled in a story that will haunt every reader who has ever wondered where his next fantasy is coming from."

The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz

HarperCollins is the publisher of Ron Jeremy: The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz. The Hedgehog's autobiography will be released on February 1, 2007. It was co-written by Eric Spitznagel, author of Fast Forward: Confessions of a Porn Screenwriter. I met Ron Jeremy years ago in Mexico. His chest hair had been waxed into the shape of a heart.

I Am Jenna Jameson

You remember that part in Boogie Nights where Don Cheadle says, "I'm not a pornographer. I'm an actor." That is exactly how I feel some days. I’ve been writing about porn for years and I’ve slowly started to realize that I now have a skillset that cannot be applied to anything else in life, other than writing about porn.

Freaks

"Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus" is coming soon. Nicole Kidman is Diane Arbus, who photographed freaks, strippers, and the like, and the director is Steven Shainberg, who directed "Secretary." In 2000, I started talking photos in Porn Valley. One day, I shot a midget male porn star. Everyone said he was Wee-Man--he wasn't. The midget was a zombie. The girl was herself. At first, the midget chased the girl around in a junkyard. Later, someone used the term "midget doggie."
