The
city of West Hollywood fucked Irv's Burgers. There's no other way to
really put it. This city fucks residents and businesses all the time
but this one felt particularly messed up. I have lived in this city
for almost 22 years now and first went to Irv's at its original
location diagonal to City Hall. It was a good spot. If you didn't
want to spend three times as much at Hamburger Mary's and didn't want
to hoof it up to Sunset for a burger elsewhere this place was good.
It improved after the new owners took over in 2000. Even if you were
in a bad mood you couldn't help but cheer up a bit when you saw Sonia
Hong or her mother there. Hell, even last year I would see her
walking burgers down the street. Sonia would draw a little cartoon on
the packages and write “Just for you!” on it.

Unleashed In WeHo
There
have been a lot of missing pets in West Hollywood. Its not hard to
understand why. Over the last year I have noticed that people have
been unleashing their dogs way more and just letting them run around.
Its stupid and this isn't the 80's when that shit was cool. They've
even stopped picking up the dog shit and its mingling with all the
homeless poop in this city. Every day I can look out my window and
see a yappy ass little dog running around and then half a minute
later see an owner holding the leash and talking on their phone. I see
the same thing with kids too but this isn't about them. Its about
small dogs vanishing.
I saw one recently posted at a crosswalk that
made me cock my head. It said the dog needed medication and also had
on its no barking collar. Yeah. You took away the dogs second weapon
and means of communicating and somehow let it wander away. I've
worked in pet stores and back then, maybe there are new ones now, but
the collars either shocked the dog when it barked or sprayed it with
citrus. Hey. How about not having a dog?

West Hollywood's Growing Homeless Population
Not
sure if you've noticed it, but there has been a huge spike in
homeless people in West Hollywood. On any given night or early
morning you can find one or two hanging out sleeping in front of City
Hall. This could be due to all the construction in the area. I spoke
to a friend that lives near Miracle Mile and there are a lot of new
buildings popping up and the homeless seem to be doubling. And these
are not the quiet ones I am familiar with and give nicknames to like
Ogg, Clarinet Hobo, The Model, and Red Riding Hood. These are some tweaked out
psychos that scream at people or fight and the police arrive 45
minutes later to do a drive through Gold Coast's parking lot when the
coast is clear.

How About That Robotic Parking Lot?
WeHo's
terrible idea is opening in...I'm not quite sure. West Hollywood's
official site says that the parking lot located on Santa Monica and
Sweetzer is allegedly going to contain 200 parking lots.
It was
supposed to break ground in March of last year and open in August. As
of the writing of this the place appears finished but is not
available to, you know, the public. The funny thing about this
useless lot is that there is a parking structure on Kings Road which
is almost across the street has 165 parking spaces but no one really
uses it. I've seen video of how the robotic lot that will open up
hopefully before unnamed gods return to Earth and laughed. Ever since
that area has been worked on other smaller streets have gotten more
dangerous. People do 80 going down Harper and La Jolla.

Overload on Reload
These
“male enhancement” pills called Reload are in the news after
Lamar Odom ended up in the hospital after doing a combination of
coke, alcohol, god knows what else, and these pills (which I have written about before). They say that he
took about ten of them in three days and now he is in a coma. I love
out of all the things he took these pills are taking the brunt of the
blame. They are being yanked off of shelves so if you still have them
save them. They are about to be worth a lot of money.
“Reload
enhancement pills stay in the body for 72 hours after one dose and
are safe to take with alcohol. Other benefits of the supplement
include stronger erections, delayed orgasm and a quick onset time of
30 minutes.”
The
last time my dick stayed hard for that many days was in 2013.
Otherwise its just wasteful. Well, Odom was at The Bunny Ranch when
all this happened. They sell these kinda pills at almost every store
and they are right at the front counter, so when you're at 7/11 you
can get a Big Gulp and give your partner that big dick. Next thing
you know your dick is like a toddler on speed.

Monster Parking Lot Almost Done?
The
monster parking lot that I wrote about earlier this year is still not
open. It was supposed to be opened two years ago but as you can see
it isn't. Its close, but not open. What really sucks about this thing
that no one will use is that since the traffic is so bad over there
all the assholes that like to speed down these tiny ass streets have
now chosen mine to fly down. I wish they would build parking for all
these new giant apartments they are building that no one is moving
into because once they do it is gonna be crazy over here.

How Much Do Porn Stars Make?
Have
you ever wondered how much porn stars make? I use the term “star”
loosely because you can just film yourself jerking it and load it
online and consider yourself a member of the porn industry. Years ago
I heard that male straight guys playing gay made the most and this
made perfect sense to me.
The numbers on this may be different now
because the numbers range from 2012-2014. If a straight male porn
star is slightly popular they can get between $200-600 and as little
as $50-100. If you fuck on film and walk away with a check for $50
you really need to evaluate your life. I understand paying your dues
but the ultimate due to me is fucking on film.
A
female can get from $800-1,000 being with a guy or another girl. Her
low end is more than the straight guy can get tops. If she decides
that she needs to have another hole filled she'll get an cool extra
$100. And the butt sex? $100-300 more per scene. I would love to hear
the train of thought that goes into that process. “Hey, while
you're here do you wanna make an extra hundred bucks? You do? Okay.
Just take it in your ass. No, not $200. Just the one. Deal?”

Iceman Is Gay Now
Its
rare that comic books make the news. It takes things like Superman
dying or Batman having his back broken to get the news to admit that
comics exist. Or making a character gay. This time its Bobby Drake
aka Iceman. The way he was outed is silly but kinda makes sense in a
comic world. Another mutant reads his mind and is like “Bobby,
you're gay.” He denies it and then has to explain how its hard
enough being a mutant let alone gay. Gay characters in comics is not
a new thing. They do it every year but it tends to be characters that
are C-level and below.
Like,
a few years back they were like “Green Lantern is gay!” which
made people rage as if they really cared about the Green Lantern.
Then we all found out that it was a Lantern that no one knew or cared
about. It was just a thing to get attention in the news. And it
worked to get attention but in the wrong way because like I said, it
was a Lantern no one knew. Being gay in comics does nothing to help
gay causes unless I guess you just want to see gay characters in
comics. I'm sure that makes some struggling teen feel good. Its not
like you're gonna get to see them bone each other. They're just
someone that is sexually attracted to the same sex.

Know Your Porn Stars: Misti Dawn
Misti
Dawn is, or was, one of those porn stars that managed to combine
hometown hot and brand new hot at the same time. I first saw her
while watching Max Landis' short film Death And Return Of Superman.
During one scene I saw her and asked “Who in the hell is this
chick?!” Expecting some modeling photos or bikini shots I was
shocked (and so pleased!) to find out that did porno films. Some of
you may not know how much joy that brings me but there is nothing
like seeing a random hot chick and finding out she bangs on film.
When
she was 18 she started modeling for the Suicide Girls which are a
pack of hot women covered in tattoos and piercings. Trust me. They're
sexy. Years later she started shooting films with Burning Angel which
is pretty hardcore and then Belladonna. If you have never seen a film
from Belladonna and her company than you can't say you have seen
hardcore porn. I need to write about her soon.

Millions Of Dollars
The
other night WWE wrestler Darren Young, real name Fred Rosser, was
left off the upcoming tour in the Middle East. There are two sides to
this. One side is his where he feels that he is being left behind
because he is a openly gay man. The other side is that being gay is
not cool in the Middle East...openly.
Young stated on his Twitter
account “Why do we bring the best entertainment into a country like
abu dhabi and they look down upon women and gays? I get it!
#MillionsofDollars.” I get why he is upset and I also get why WWE
left him off the tour. Though I believe that he should be allowed to
do what he loves anywhere in the world I also understand that some
parts of the world are not as accepting as others and that the lives
of he and other performers run the risk of being attacked. It is a
wrestling company where people pretend fight each other for the
entertainment of millions. They aren't a country or political party.

When The Police Don't Care
The
West Hollywood police have run out of shits to give. I've known this
for a while but sometimes I kinda forget and am reminded when I am
forced to deal with them. I try not to because I know that they don't
care about what you do as long as you don't park where you shouldn't
be or speed. Otherwise this city is a goddamn wild zone. You can
cross wherever you please, whip out knives, rob people and get away
with it.
Recently
I called because a few days ago there was this guy in the parking lot
screaming at the top of his lungs about nothing. Was he sick? Crazy?
Disturbed? High? I don't care. He was a short Black guy with a three
foot blond wig and a baseball cap and a lot of garbage. After about
two hours of this the police rolled up. Three cars. He didn't stop
acting crazy. Most times when the cops show up people tend to tone
down their levels of lunacy. Not this guy. He had a fewer less fucks
to give than the police of West Hollywood.

West Hollywood's Monster Parking Lot
"The City of West Hollywood has awarded a contract to T.B. Penick &
Sons, to construct the 200-car City Hall Automated
Parking Garage and Community Plaza Project which will be located at
8300 Santa Monica Boulevard (City Hall)."
Oh, boy. This monster
building has been in the works for a while now and when I passed it
today it looks like it is far from being completed. According to
WeHo's site about this new parking lot there are supposed to be 200
spaces available for parking. Let's assume that automatically about
30 of those will be for city hall vehicles. This was supposed to be finished in May of 2013. Ha! Oh, and when I say it is automated I don't mean with just robot arms that go up an down. Your car is physically moved somewhere else while inside.

Laughing At Pornhub Comments
I was
watching an interview with comedian Hannibal Buress on Howard Stern
and laughed when they started talking about their favorite porn sites
to watch. The mentioned the fact that people leave comments on these
sites. Now, I try my best to stay out of the comment section on any
sites but my own. Most times the comments go to racist, homophobic,
or religious within 3 to 5 comments in.
I went
to my bookmarks and decided to read some of the comments that people
left. The shit is ridiculous. I will post what they said (without
their names) and comment on them. I will not alter the way they wrote
anything. Gotta say that because I don't want folks thinking that my
grammar is this damned bad.

Let Her Crush You
I found some articles online about this
tall ass woman 30 year old Ana Lucia Barbosa that goes by the name of
Amazon Cinthia. I mean, holy shit that is a lot of woman. She stands
at 6'8” and weighs 200 pounds. The 200 pound thing is the only
thing I really question. A woman never really tells. I'm just bitter
because she is 7 inches taller than me but weighs 25 pounds less.
Whenever a woman is tall she is asked if she models, plays
basketball, or is a lesbian. I'm just being honest. Its kinda like
how people assume I have kids, smoke weed, or have been to prison.
Cinthia makes as much as $300 an hour
crushing men. Yes, that is a thing in porn as well. There are plenty
of videos where women just sit on men or just...parts of men. And
they love it. She also wrestles with them which is also a thing.
“There's no shortage of willing clients happy to pay me to sit on
them, wrestle them, pick them up and generally boss them around. I'm
finding this line of work has changed my life and I'm now able to
provide for my family.”
Seems like $300 an hour to get beat up
and bossed around is a lot. I can have that done for free just by
hooking up with ex's. Growing up in Brazil (of course because that
place is South America's Australia) she was made fun of because of
her height. Kids got creative and called her a giraffe. She
eventually quit school because of it. Kids are so...suck.

Porn Tales 14
There was this old man that used to
come into the porn shop. Now, when I say old I don't mean old like
when I have complained about customers in the past. I'm talking about
in 2001 he looked like he was ready to drop dead at any moment and I
was not being paid enough to move his body. I bring this guy up
because I recently saw him a few days ago and damn near dropped my
bag of just purchased chips. I mean...how?! How could this man still
walk the Earth?
This isn't someone that just looked
old. He was for real old. And jerking it every day. I think. He used
to rent three movies every morning, return them the next morning, and
take three more out. I often wondered if he actually had the ability
to jerk off of if he just went home and slapped it around for a
while, sighed, and put another tape in. Either way, it was depressing
as hell. I know it should be inspirational that someone at the age of
telephone is still feeling sexual but that is not how my brain works.

Wink Then Walk
People
get hit by cars a lot in West Hollywood. It is a combination of
really shitty drivers, pedestrains that make up their own rules, and
folks on bicycles that weave in and out of traffic and the sidewalk
as if they are the only ones there. Today at the bus stop I saw a
poster for safety when crossing streets. “Wink then walk.” I have
no problem with that. “Make eye contact with drivers before you
cross the street.” Okay, still good. Its the last line that gets
me. “What happens next is up to you.” Oh, come on now! Does
everything in WeHo have to be about sex?!
I remember in the porn shop
seeing ads for every holiday and it being about sex. Thanksgiving?
Buff guy with dick in turkey. 4th of July? Firecracker wrapped cock.
Christmas? Guess what? Dick in a box! Does this city really need an
ad with a shirtless guy crossing the street and unbuckling his belt?
Seriously, West Hollywood. Get your shit together.
Handle this
homeless problem. Put up that goddamn Walgreen's. Make the traffic
lights work in equal times because when people know the light they
need only lasts 11 seconds compared to three minutes of the other
they tend to speed and blow through lights. Oh, and hurry up and
complete that ugly, gigantic parking lot at City Hall that I doubt
citizens will be allowed to park in.

Fire Down Below!
Porn
star Missy Martinez who you may know from such classics as Titty
Creampies 3, Lesbian Anal POV 5, and Big Anal Booties: POV+ was
injured on set due to a faulty vibrator Sorry. Personal massager.
When using her Hitachi Magic Wand the handle started to heat up and
sparks shot out of the damned thing where the cord connects. Yes,
this is not your mamas vibrator. This plugs in. She got some minor
burns on her hand and almost burned the piercings of the chick she
was doing the scene with. She says she has sent a letter to Hitachi
letting them know their shit is dangerous. Every inch of those black
bars were needed to cover her up. Don't think I am exaggerating. I
have seen these massagers plenty of times since they sell them at
most name brand stores. I laugh knowing that the last thing these
will ever touch is a human back or sore neck. I've held one of these
before and it made my dick put up a for sale sign.

Know Your Porn Stars: Skin Diamond
Every
once in a while a porn star will emerge from the hundreds of people
who make a living by having sex on screen and thrust into the public
eye. They crossover. There are probably less than twenty that have
done it successfully (if I say John Holmes chances are you know who
I'm talking about). Skin Diamond is now one of those people. Born
Raylin Christensen in 1987 (which makes me feel so pervy) her father
is an actor that I haven't heard of. She is part Danish, Ethiopian,
Czech, German, and Yugoslav. She was born in Ventura, California and
raised in Dunfermline, Scotland.

Still A Big Deal
Why is
it such a big deal when someone famous comes out of the closet? I ask
that question already knowing the answer. I'm sure that for gays,
lesbians, and all the other names that seem to come out every year
for gay folks (kinda like Black, Negro, African American, Colored) it
is awesome to have someone that is well known let the world know who
they truly are. I can't imagine how hard it must be to have to keep
your sexuality a secret from family, friends, and the public for fear
of being rejected, attacked, or disowned. Its silly that its still
even a thing that happens. Your child likes someone if their same
sex? Wow! That's so...unheard of.
No, it
isn't.
I
think what bothers me most about the fact that its still a big deal
is that your sexual preference is just that: a sexual preference. It
doesn't make someone better or worse by being gay. Its just who they
have sex with. That's all. When people talk about being gay being the
downfall of society it makes my eyes cross.

Digitally Removing Condoms
It is a sad state of affairs. We are at
a point in time where a porn company has to sit around digitally
adding condoms back into porn. Falcon Studios released California
Dreamin' 1 and it is the first film to use technology in post
production to make it seem as if they did not use condoms during the
making of the movie. “Why would someone go through the trouble of
doing this?” you ask. Because L.A made it where porn had to use
condoms when filming in 2012. Ever since this happened permits to
shoot porn dropped 95% and many companies just hauled ass to Las
Vegas where they don't have to deal with that nonsense. Assume that
L.A County has lost out in thousands if not millions of dollars
because of this. Gay porn on the other hand has been requiring the
use of condoms for quite a long time. They were already self
policing. Straight porn is also required to regular testing unlike
gay porn but that is fakakta at best since a few times every year
someone slides their diseased dick into someone and next thing you
know no one is shooting porn for a while. I wonder how good this
technology looks but I'll be damned if I watch gay porn...again.
