City of Freaks


Adult film director Paul Thomas, erotic photographer Dave Naz, and burlesque dancer Selene Luna are all featured in the LA Weekly's "LA People 2007" issue. Once, I interviewed Paul Thomas on the phone. I don't remember a word he said, only the sound of his voice, a million years old from so many days spent watching people screw. I saw Luna dance with Velvet Hammer. She was my mini-me of stripper horrors. I read the blogs of Dave Naz and Ashley Blue. Ashley appeared in "Gag Factor 15." It features a porn scene reenactment a la Abu Ghraib and is listed in an 18-count federal obscenity indictment. Apparently, the US government has deemed obscene a porn movie inspired by its progeny.
