AdultGigFinder Adds Video Uploading to Job Board

New feature expected to offer job seekers a ‘huge advantage.’

Posted: 3:21 PM PST Sep 27, 2007

NEW YORK - AdultGigFinder has added video uploading to its job board's portfolio-management system.

The site now allows users to upload and manage videos in the same way they manage their photos. The new feature is expected to help job seekers stand out from the crowd and get face time before their competitors.

"We all know the power of video," Director of Business Development Eddie Jay said. "This and other features have placed us in a great position. ... We are also excited to bring robust features to make our users stand out, whether they are in front of the camera or behind the scenes."

"Uploading a show reel and keeping it fresh is a huge advantage and can mean the difference between getting the gig or getting passed," the company said in a press release.

Adult videos: not just for pervs anymore

--on the web

WWW- [hfxnews.ca]- Gone are the days where it is mostly men investing into adult videos. More and more women are indulging themselves in video erotica, either with their partners or on their own. If anyone knows this fact best, it's the producers themselves of adult videos.

Traditionally, adult videos were made by men for men, leaving little for the female viewer to desire. But times are changing, and the selection has never been better for both genders.

It's important first to put all your misconceptions about adult videos aside. Adult videos distributed by credible production companies are not illegal. It's a multi-billion dollar industry, and the creation of such videos employs writers, directors, and make-up artists. And yes, even costume designers - they don't just show up naked. There's usually some clothing that is removed as things heat up, but I digress. The actors are consenting adults who are required to be of legal age, or the producer of the videos will face stiff penalties that can, and will, put them out of business.

Adult videos are intended to indulge human fantasies, so don't compare yourself to the people in the video. Go into it knowing that yes, the breasts are probably fake and chances are high there is copious amounts of Viagra being taken behind the scenes. Nor should you feel like you need to be doing what they are doing. Videos are merely a way to indulge secret desires or fantasies without ever having to do them. If your partner is into a fetish that you're not up for indulging, watching an erotic video together is an intimate way to share these fantasies.

Although I encourage people to look at videos as an opportunity to expand their repertoire of tricks in the bedroom, you still need to be informed of what is and isn't safe to do between the sheets. The videos are often more about fantasy and leave out important aspects of reality and safety. If you are considering indulging a fantasy, make sure you inform yourself first.

Because more women are interested in video erotica, the other aspect of adult videos that has taken a dramatic shift is the role of the female. It's a turn-off for the majority of female viewers to see a woman portrayed in a demeaning way. I'm not suggesting there isn't still a lot of that going on, but there are more selections today that are not demeaning to women. Furthermore, the reality of the industry is that the women are on top. First of all, they rely on female actors. Second, women often get paid more and have far more opportunity to earn more money than male actors.

Being able to watch video erotica is one of the benefits of being an adult. It's also becoming more accepted and is not longer perceived as something only the lonely and perverted do behind closed doors. Maintaining a healthy perspective about the role of such videos in your life is essential, but it's something worth incorporating into your intimacy.

Is Your Domain Name Safe From Porn Pirates?

Avast. Pirates be boldly thievin’ for themselves any toothsome domain name what puts a glint in their good eye. Recall the pair of scurvy dogs who battled for years over the rights to sex.com. Globally, the internet porn industry is said to be worth $57 billion annually. Arrgh, that’s a lot of dubloons.

Your company’s domain name, or web address, also has value. And while the markets may not attach a billion-dollar pricetag to it (yet), for many small and midsize businesses, their domain names are a major business asset. If you have not taken steps to secure yours from plundering porn pirates, beware: Web-address theft is an “everyday event”, the Wall Street Journal reminded us this week.

Even Federal lawmakers are not immune. Visitors to congressman Ed Perlmutter’s (D-CO 7th) web site last year were briefly treated to a photo of a bikinied woman and links proffering “free uncensored webcams,” “local girls for sex,” and “cheating wives adult chat.” Pirates 1. Perlmutter 0.

What could Perlmutter’s staff have done to protect the boss from swashbucklers? Experts recommend these minimal steps:

Lock down your domain name by placing a registrar lock on it

Safeguard the email address used to register the domain. Use corporate email, not Yahoo or Hotmail

Keep registration information on Whois up to date

ICANN’s report on remedial actions is a 48-page yawner. For an inside look at one way pirates can scam the domain registry system, read How to Hijack a Domain from darknet.org, an “ethical hacking” group.

Arrgh. They be the good pirates.

X-Rated District On Hold Again

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL — The idea of an x-rated district in St. Augustine is back on hold once again. The city’s commission has been looking at limiting adult entertainment businesses to a specific area — for months now. They originally wanted to set up the zone off State Road 312.

On Monday night, they considered expanding that zone to three separate sites. They would include the original one on Ponce de Leon as well as areas along South Dixie Highway and West King Street. However, the commission decided not to vote.

The issue’s been tabled every time it comes up. Now, commissioners want to look at yet another option. This time, they’re looking at placing the adult district along US-1. That’s expected to be discussed at the next meeting.

Federal judge rejects Internet porn law

A federal judge has rejected a state law that restricts the dissemination of sexually oriented material over the Internet.

The law prohibits people from sending communications that are harmful to minors over the Internet if the sender knows or should know that the recipient is a minor.

In his ruling Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Walter Rice said the law violates the First Amendment because it was too broadly written and could have ensnared adults having sexually frank discussions with other adults in chat rooms. In those cases, there is no way to ensure that minors are not part of the conversation, Rice said.

The judge also said the law violated the First Amendment by failing to target only people who intended to disseminate sexually oriented material to children with the intent to lure them into sexual activity.

Rice’s ruling came in a lawsuit filed in 2002 by organizations representing booksellers, book publishers, music and video retailers and newspapers.

‘’While we should have adequate legal safeguards to shield children from objectionable content, those safeguards cannot unreasonably interfere with the rights of adults to have access to materials that are legal for them,'’ said David Horowitz, executive director of Media Coalition, a trade association that coordinated the lawsuit.

The state is reviewing the decision and considering its options, Ted Hart, spokesman for Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann, said Wednesday.

He declined further comment.

My thoughts on Adult Star Bella Donna

Hey Perves,

As the issue with Bella Donna and her comeback to acting in adult films is being put out there, a lot of us in the industry have all kinds of different opinions. I have finally decided to put mine down.

The reality of it all is that we do protect ourselves in our personal lives when we "hook up" with strangers. So why should porn be any different. That's just showing the public that those few of us in the industry are "adult" enough about things to protect not only ourselves, but each other. There are just way too many people entities and issues out there, like the government, that just wants to bring us down. Showing such irresponsibility, just goes to prove to the government and everybody else that they have been right about us all along. We need to take a stand in this industry and UNITE, instead of being selfish for a buck.
That's why adult companies in the east coast are more open, friendly and more willing to work together than the west coast counterparts. We look out for each other, and World X productions can attest to this comment, as we have always helped each other out. Right Franny?
I'm not saying that everything here is perfect, but I do believe the majority of producers here have the same idea. Only do condom shoots!!!!
Now me for example, I religiously get tested, and I still wear condoms in every shoot that I'm in. It's better to have protected fun and stay alive, than to enjoy a 4 second cumshot/orgasm and die young.

That's just MY two cents....

Adult Start Lynn LeMay not allowed to give away flags

Hey Perves,

What the heck is wrong with people this day an age??? I know I try to keep my blog iconcentrated mostly on the happenings in the adult industry on the East Coast, however things like the post below is what gets me upset. Can somebody explain to me, what is wrong with giving away stickers of the American Flag?
I'm a huge fan of Lynn LeMay and her work in the industry, and I have to agree with her in the fact that she was not allowed to hand out the free stickers at the adultcon this past weekend.
Read the post below and truly, please let me know your thought on this subject.

--Gene Ross
Porn Valley- Lynn LeMay already told me she's been banned from future Adultcons. LeMay leaves me this message last evening:

"One of the reasons that Bud [Lee] pointed out and that I should let you know about, is the giveaways I had which Renaud told me to get off his property. These were American flags that stick to the window of your car. We were going to give out American flags due to the fact that my daughter's in the military, in the Air Force. It's the patriotic thing to do."

"It's the symbol of what we represent- the right to do as we please being Americans. I have cases of them sitting in my living room that we weren't allowed to give out at Adultcon."

"My boyfriend Eddie Garcia is one of the most patriotic people I know. And I'm very positive in my voting and my politics. And my daughter's in the Air Force. Him [West] not allowing us and telling us straight out we cannot give out American flags is against everything all of us believe in. This is what a dictator does. This isn't Adultcon. This has nothing to do with adults. We are adults who make our own decisions and our American flag is a symbol of that.

"This is what they need to know about Renaud. Fuckin' dictator. This pisses me off! But I have cases of American flags if you know of anyone who needs them."

Five dancers, manager busted at Pinellas adult club

ST. PETERSBURG – Pinellas County detectives say they've arrested five dancers and the manager of an adult entertainment business after an undercover investigation revealed it was operating illegally.

Deputies say the sting took place at Vegas Show Girls, which is located on Gandy Boulevard in St. Petersburg. The arrests were made on Wednesday evening.

Investigators say 24-year-old Jennifer Pine, 21-year-old Jessica Marie Puckette, 22-year-old Corinna Shaffer, 22-year-old Ethel Christina Sizemore, and 21-year-old Brandie Elizabeth Storie were all violating Pinellas County's nudity ordinance. They say Storie also had an outstanding drug warrant.

The manager of the business, 36-year-old Jonathan Bell, was also arrested. He was charged with operating an adult use establishment without a license.

Detectives say they've received numerous complaints about illegal activity at the business, even though similar investigations and arrests have been made there in the last year. Deputies monitored the business as a part of this investigation, and they found the performers to be in violation of County Ordinance 6-2.

Bell was ordered to appear in court. Detectives say the investigation continues, and they will be conducting spot checks of similar businesses in the area to make sure they are complying with the ordinance.

'Nude' photos on cop computer not a crime

Wednesday, September 19, 2007

By Heather L. VanDyke

hvandyke@muskegonchronicle.com

It appears allegations made by a Shelby village council member concerning "nude photos" of women on a police department computer do not rise to the level of a crime.

While photos discovered on the computer included images of topless and bikini-clad women -- apparently downloaded from the Internet -- Oceana County Prosecutor Terry Shaw said they "weren't anything serious enough to warrant a full investigation."

Dr. Steve Lessens, who chairs the Shelby village police and policy committee, told a packed meeting hall Monday that he was "disgusted" to learn there were "nude photographs of women" discovered on a police department computer. That discovery prompted the committee to postpone recommending a replacement for former police chief Bob Wilson, who was placed on administrative leave on July 23 and resigned last month.

Two of the candidates vying for Wilson's position -- interim Police Chief Tim French and Shelby Officer Terry Tenbrink both work internally, which is why Lessens said a full investigation had to take place before a replacement could be recommended. The third candidate Eric Ridout, a K-9 deputy for Muskegon County, said today he is withdrawing his application.

Shaw said Lessens' allegations of the photographic content on the computer was exaggerated and confirmed late Tuesday night "there would be no investigation."

Lessens could not be reached for comment this morning.

"(Lessens) called me and had indicated (French) had found pornography on the (department's) computer," Shaw said.

Shaw said he then advised French to take the computer to the state police for evaluation. Instead, state police officials checked out the computer Tuesday morning at the Shelby Police Department and "didn't see anything that would violate Michigan law," Shaw said. "It's a personnel thing."

The images found on the police computer included "seven or eight pictures of women in underwear and bikinis, and two pictures of topless women," Shaw said.

Shaw said French has declined to file any further complaints regarding the issue.

"He concurred with the state police. The state police said it wasn't a violation of the obscenity law, so there is no investigation at this time," Shaw said.

Rhode Island investigates porn e-mailed on state computers

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - State police and the Department of Transportation are investigating several pornographic e-mails that were sent using state e-mail addresses. The Providence Journal reports that several e-mails containing graphic sex acts were forwarded by state troopers and a female employee at the DOT.

Often, they were sent to other state e-mail addresses.

The e-mail policies of both state departments prohibit using state e-mail addresses for sending anything vulgar or obscene.
State Police Major Steven O’Donnell says if anyone violated the policy, they will be disciplined.

Dana Nolfe of the DOT says it will take strong action against anyone who broke the rules.

Wicked Superstar Carmen Hart Brings Her Award Winning Moves To The Lehigh Valley

Erv's In Allentown, PA



From Daniel Metcalf PR;

Nestled in Northeast Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, the industrial community of Allentown exploded into pop culture in 1982 when Billy Joel immortalized the resolve of Allentonians in the acclaimed pop anthem of the same name. While the song may have portrayed the town as a quiet place where 'restlessness is handed down,' Allentown is set to become a center for excitement September 20th-22nd as Wicked Pictures contract actress and 2007 Exotic Performer Of The Year Carmen Hart (www.CarmenHart.com) brings three nights of feature dance entertainment to Erv's Ladies' And Gentlemen's Club, located at 1231 Airport Road South (for show times, please contact the venue directly at 1-800-662-GIRL).

Based on the attention she's getting in the press, there really couldn't be a better time to experience this versatile performer in person. Carmen's Brad Armstrong-directed, jessica drake-written drama Just Between Us continues to earn the actress some of the best notices of her adult film career, with Cindi Loftus of Excitement magazine giving the movie a 9 = out of 10 rating. She concludes her rave by observing that she 'loved every scene, every minute, every second of this fabulous movie. 'Just Between Us' is definitely one of the top ten shows of the year!' Carmen's performance in Armstrong's upcoming Girl in 6C is already being called her best work to date, and is expected to be her shining moment as awards season approaches. And the dynamic Ms. Hart is generating similar excitement on the mainstream front, as her upcoming horror-comedy The One Eyed Monster, starring Amber Benson of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer, is being prepped for debut screenings at the Sundance Film Festival.

Although she's focusing an enormous amount of energy on her movies, Carmen is always looking for new venues to showcase the skills that have made her 2007's Exotic Performer Of The Year. To this end, Erv's Ladies' And Gentleman's Club promises to be an ideal place to experience this Wicked beauty's award winning stage show, thanks to its spacious lounges, state-of-the-art light and sound system, and friendly, professional staff.

NY Town Declares Moratorium on Adult Businesses

By Eddie Adams

Posted: 12:10 PM PST Sep 18, 2007

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. - The Cheektowaga Town Board has unanimously voted to impose a 90-day moratorium on permits or approvals for all prospective adult-oriented businesses. During that period, the board has granted itself the right to “modify or vary” any elements of the existing adult ordinance.

“Current regulations for adult-use establishments are out of date and probably do not protect the health, safety and general welfare of town residents,” board supervisor James J. Jankowiak told the Buffalo News.

While the moratorium is in effect, town officials will look into issues such as how close to community areas (i.e. schools and churches), prospective adult businesses are able to locate. Currently, the distance is 500 feet, but several officials think it should be increased to 1,500 feet. “It’s under discussion now, and we will be coming back with an amendment that will be more compatible with family uses,” council member Thomas M. Johnson, told the Buffalo News.

Change of Venue Denied in Precedent-Setting Ray Guhn Porn Case

--pn the web

Florida- [Pensacola News Journal]- A potentially precedent-setting pornography case will remain in Santa Rosa County, Circuit Court Judge Ron Swanson decided Monday.

Swanson denied a defense motion to change venue in the case of an alleged Internet porn ring prosecutors say was run out of Clinton Raymond McCowen's [aka Ray Guhn] Navarre home.

Defense attorneys had sought to move the proceedings to Escambia County.

"I keep going back to the statute that says this is a discretionary decision made by the state," Swanson said during discussions with attorneys Monday.

"It seems to me it's pretty simple. The state gets to make the choice (according to the statute) if the offenses happen in two or more counties."

Swanson said the law only allows a judge to change the trial location if the state's choice was influenced by an improper motive or if the venue the state selects somehow violates the defendant's right to due process. Neither of those was true in this case, he said.

McCowen, Andrew Kevin Craft of Pace, Kevin Patrick Stevens of Pensacola, William Lee Beach of Milton, Jane Marie Dreka of Lillian, Ala., and Thomas W. Dwyer of Pensacola are accused of producing obscene videos, which Internet users could pay to view online.

They face two charges each of racketeering — conducting a criminal enterprise by engaging in prostitution, and by manufacturing and selling obscene material. McCowen also faces money laundering charges.

Attorneys have called the case a "case of first impression," meaning there are no similar cases in history to look to for guidance.

The outcome could be precedent-setting.

The state maintains that the videos were shot at various locations in Santa Rosa and Escambia counties, including public places like Interstate 110. The state also says the money laundering occurred in Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties.

Assistant State Attorney Russ Edgar said while charges originally were filed in Escambia in 2006, the case was moved to Santa Rosa to best address all charges with one proceeding. The original charges were filed before the evidence of money laundering was discovered, he said.

"We believe the most serious charge in this case is the money laundering charge. ... That occurred in Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties," Edgar said. "The money laundering, in my opinion, had to be heard in either Okaloosa or Santa Rosa. The manufacturing of obscene materials had to either be in Escambia or Santa Rosa."

Defense attorneys had sought to have the trial moved back to Pensacola.

"The substance of this case was originally filed over a year ago in Escambia County," said McCowen's attorney, Jerome Mooney. "We're being hurt ... because we've been working for a year in preparation for one community and suddenly we find ourselves being thrust into another community. These communities, these counties, may be next door to each other, but they are substantially different."

The defendants are due back in court Oct. 16 for a hearing in which Swanson will decide if defense attorneys can claim a national community standard instead of a local one when determining if the material produced is obscene.

Defense attorneys say that would be appropriate because of the global nature of the Internet.
