Michael's Mailbox: Back from LA
Hey guys,
I was out of New York for several days and I missed home already! I performed in Denver and then went to LA for meetings and a fundraising event for the Gay Men's Chorus. The event was organized by the ex-mayor of Hollywood, John Duran, who was the most amazing mayor of all time. I hosted the event along with Chi Chi, who provided five sweet porn stars from her stable to spice it all up. There were a lot of great people—Bruce Vilanch among others. I adore the guy. He openly hangs out with pornstars, hosts porn events, and should be an example for everyone that if you have great talent, then you can do anything you want and it will not hurt your career.
I stayed in West Hollywood in the Mondrian Hotel. I think I am getting way too spoiled. They upgraded me into a huge suite, and I was very happy that they lit candles every night so that I could lay in my lonely bed all by myself. How romantic ;-) The rooms in this hotel are all white. If not for those candles, I would never find my bed.
I also went to see Jackie Beat, is one of few talented drag queens in California. I like drag queens who are quick, smart, edgy and fun. I don't care if they are beautiful or if they can lip sync. In 2006, it just doesn't do the trick for me. I care about their talent. I think Lady Bunny, Hedda Lettuce and Jackie Beat are all fantastic.
Quick tip- Avoid American Airlines by all means. I haven't seen such horrible treatment of passengers in my life. The aircraft reminded me of Russian planes from the 1970s, with dusty uncomfortable seats and dirty bathrooms. They did not serve food, but were selling gross salads and boxes of crackers and nasty cheese. The flight attendants looked like old drag queens covered with blotchy covergirl makeup. And it all ended with waiting for bags for one hour and never getting them. They promise to deliver them in 24 hours. I should be so lucky.
I came back and read all your comments on the Chad Hunt/Ben Andrews drama. The question whether a big dick is important or not was brought up more than anything else. Let me give you my 2 cents on that:
To have an 11 inch dick in real life, is not crucial :) But when it comes to porn, I have to admit, a big dick is a huge plus. Of course it doesn't hurt if it is attached to something pretty, which is not always the case. But I always keep in mind that a good half of my audience is made up of size queens :)

Comments
Faye Dunaway portraited Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest. Joan and Bette were distroyed by their own daughters when they wrote their stories. But after the storm, the images of divas are still alive and stronger, the books only give more basis for their legends. And I think the case Chad - Ben is not like Bette and Joan when they filmed Whatever happened to Baby Jane?, because Ben Andrews didnt make comments about Chad words. Show biz can be cruel, devastating, remember All about Eve, when Bette Davis lost her throne, friends and position because a young and new (and ambitious but I think is not the case here) actress Ann Baxter and at the end she tasted the same angry flavour when Barbara Bates appears. It is a good script for a Lucas movie, don't you?

Michael,
Fly Jet Blue to Burbank. Nice clean planes, cable
tv instead of movies. You bring your own food & pay for liquor, but it is worth it in the long run.

I don't have a lot of experience with guys but I'd gladly bend over for Chad ... ;-) I love his attitude on film.

I am looking forward to seeing Auditions 11/Wilfried Knight. Chad and Ben may both have bigger cocks than Wilfried, but no one in the gay porn industry is hotter or sexier than Wilfried. He is also very sweet and charming. While visiting New York last year, I saw him walking down the street in Chelsea, and he took the time to stop and chat, making me even more of a fan of this fabulous guy.

Readers tired of the big dick disaster should try watching the scene on your site with Harold Pitt and Jamie Donovan.
Harold is an all-around gorgeous topman and I dare say his dick would give plenty of pleasure to anybody fortunate enough to cum in contact with it.

Hi Michael, welcome back. Glad you had a good time in "El Lay" despite the bad service on AA. Just wanted to say I LOVE the Mondrian! I've had several fun days and nights hanging out by thier pool (I won't go into details, lol). Do they still do "Sky Bar" there at night? When I lived in Santa Barbara, some friends and I used to crank the party up at the Mondrian for the weekends. Thanks for reminding me of some fun memories. Ciao for now.

Michael, out of curiosity, do you like Harisu? She's a transexual J-pop singer in Japan. I love her.

Michael,
I am sorry that Chad Hunt has decided to morph himself into a nasty demanding diva, but that is what jealousy will do. If actions having put you in touch with Ben Andrews have now caused Chad grief, then do not apologize.

Michael,
Glad to hear you made it back home, sorry to hear the trip back wasn't great. Anyway, I wanted to say thank you for stopping in Denver on your way to L.A. You will never know what it meant to me to actually meet you in person. Take care and I love your movies. Keep up the great work. I have to also agree, I think Ben wins the contest by far.

Chad Hunt never appealed to me. But I thought he was a reasonable, nice person. It is sad to realize that he is nothing more than an insecure, pathetic guy with a big dick.

I agree with Thomas, he humiliated himself a lot. I think several sessions with a good therapist might help him get over himself.
Posted by: Scott at June 30, 2006 12:34 PM
Scott/Thomas:
Therapy is good. I wouldn't hold my breath on Chad getting over himself on this one through therapy, though.

Dearest Lucas, next time, before signing a new exclusive, make sure that his head is proportionate to his body and that his tattoos do not make him look like he arrived from a trailer park ...

I have been trying to figure out who the guy is on the right (stage left) in the final group scene 3 of top to bottom - there is no pic (John Robini?) Anyway, he looks like my ex and a little like me. Maybe there is hope for us after all. I wish there was more of him, he is adorable. He looks Latino. verbatimidated@yahoo.com Any pics of him so I can be inspired?

AMERICAN AIRLINES IS THE WORST - AGREED. I was traveling to Pittsburg at beginning of June...due to thunderstorms, they cancelled all flights from La Guardia and I spent the night at the airport! All this on my way to a gay calendar shoot where bags under the eyes are an ultimate NO NO! They are so disordere and then have the nerve to be confrontational with their customers,... operations present pure failure. I wrote an intense letter to the FAA as the sent my bag without me and then hassled me about delivering to my home in Chelsea. My bag came 10 days later!
You are probably getting very spoiled with such lavishness in W Hollywood...BUT you create such visually perfect modern day Roman fantasies, so I have quams about your spoiledness whatsoever! Just keep producing!!!
