Serial Stories
A story that's rarely told, or even discussed by the two of us, is that I remember the day Stoya wanted my opinion on whether or not to do what she calls porn porn. That is to say the whorearchy (short explanation, longer explanation) of "I shoot nude photos, tee hee" vs "I show my pussy in some photos" vs "well, sometimes I've got a ...
In all the stories I've told of dating, or sex, I've never revealed anyone's identity or name. It's not my style. But, this one's different for many reasons. The first of which is that I have explicit permission. Also : she's written about us. And it was later immortalized and illustrated in Heavy Metal magazine. While her story is more poetic and beautiful ...
(if you missed Part 1, you're gonna be confused) What I try to tell people who don't know what the Bad Girls Club is about is this : imagine if you could borrow Paris Hilton's undeserved fame, her inherited money, and her self-aggrandizing behavior and could temporarily bestow that equally to 7 angry, attention-starved socialite 20-something girls, and then you threw them into a rent-free mansion, supplied them more alcohol ...
Yes, it's true. I was on the Bad Girls Club, Season 3. That's the one with "the Ambers", and Ailea. Technically, I'm not sure I'm allowed to talk about any of this, but the producers said that only applied for about 6 months after the episode aired. Seeing as it's been almost 7 years since it aired, I think I'm okay. Here's the inside scoop on how it happened, what went down, and ...
(if you missed Part 1, you're gonna be confused) The plans were set in motion : I was to fly to Salt Lake City, Utah. Then rent a car to drive to the tiny border town of Pocatello, Idaho. Then get a hotel nearby. All of this was on my own dime, including the time ...
In Mid-2007, things were winding down for Aural Salvation, I wasn't doing much comedy (hell, I performed maybe once a year from 2003-2008), and I was gettin' the old acting bug. When you're non-union, have no agent, and you're unsure if you actually can act, your source for acting gigs is Craigslist. This means it's a crap-shoot. Sure, student films are fine, but sometimes you end up making weird movies ...
(if you missed Part 1, Part 2, and/or Part 3, you're gonna be confused) It's difficult to summarize an entire year of one's life into little 5-7 minute pieces, but there's a lot to cover. There's also a lot of shorter stories in between, which I'll definitely end up telling separately. This series of posts is more of an overview. Or, perhaps, the bloodstream of the body ...
(if you missed Part 1, you're gonna be confused) My first week in Seattle was surprisingly uneventful. Or at least... not that memorable. It was mostly house hunting, and a series of coffee shops, little restaurants, and the occasional bar. I was only 20 at the time, and I'd still never been drunk, so I didn't really care about bars that much. I was always the designated driver, though, so I ...
I remember when I was a teenager and I had to tape episodes of Beverly Hills 90210 for my older sister, one of the first lines in the first episode was spoken by a voiceover and they said something like "they say your birthplace shouldn't be where you were born, but where you learned who you are - and this was my birthplace...". Using that line of logic, Seattle would be my ...
