One More From the Mailbox

Contrary to the rumors going around that I'm a bitch with actors, I often receive letters of appreciation from models. Here's an email from Derrick Hanson that I got today, one of the models I worked with on the new Fire Island Cruising movie.

Hey Mr. Michael!
Well I finally finished running around shooting all these movies and I just got a chance to check out your website and read your blog and everything! I can not believe all the drama you've had with the people of Fire Island! I mean there are so many other problems with the world and more important things to worry and stress over than wether or not 30 or so seconds of their private property ends up in a porn movie! Like you said, "We're not selling drugs, just a hot fantasy!" Well, I'm sure tired of even discussing it by this point, but I just wanted to lend some support. Anyway, I also see that you have put a clip of me and Brandon on your website... I am dreading seeing this footage.... LOL but I HAVE to see if the look on my face is as horrified and hilarious as I think it was!! LOL However, only members can view the clips and stuff, so I was wondering if I could have a honorary (or even just a temporary) membership or something so I can at least watch this overwhelmingly embarassing clip I was so praying would somehow get lost on the editing room floor... er, since it's digital, I guess rather taped over by accident or melted after being left in the sun too long!! LOL I was also wondering if after you guys have had a chance to edit them and watermark them all and everything, if you give your models a CD of their photoshoots! The pictures I saw that Hudson took looked fabulous and I really hope I can get copies of them whenever he's done editing them! Okay, I have to jet.... butI also never got a chance to really THANK YOU for casting me in FIC7 and flying me to NY and feeding me and all that for the week! So, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I had a lot of fun and Id never been to Fire Island before either and Ive always wanted to go, so that was really cool to have done that finally! Also, THANK YOU, for giving me the oppurtunity to work with Chad Hunt, it was such a pleasure and he's such a cool guy! I can't wait to see how everything turns out! Though I'm sure it'll look great and be fucking hot like all your other movies! Email me back or give me a call when you get a chance and let me know about the membership thing... i so HAVE to see this clip!! LOL

Take care and THANK YOU again!
Derrick Hanson

Awwww....we should all chip in and get Derrick a membership. If for no other reason than because he is adorable.

A little off subject, but inspired by something in the letter:
I would love to know what the creative process is behind making a Lucas film is. I have my way of forming an idea into a reality and I wonder if it's any different from the way Michael works. Granted, what I do is slightly different, but an idea is still an idea. Just curious.

Wow! What a flattering e-mail. I have been wracking my brain trying to figure out where I have possibly seen Erik Grant and his 9 inch dick and, call me crazy, but he looks VERY much like this Cobra Video model, Brad. Could it be? For those who want to prove me wrong, head on over to the twinkie gallery, just type dot com after cobravideo, and judge for yourself. They BOTH hail from NY, NY. Michael, could you confirm if Erik Grant is the former twink model Brad form Cobra?

Does that sound like a shameless plug for Cobra Video to anyone else, or is it just me?
