Leaving Teenage Girls with Ephebophile R Kelly is the Real Crime

by Amelia G : June 14th, 2008

Yesterday, R. Kelly was acquitted of charges for child pornography which have been pending for nearly six years now. If I believed he were innocent, I would think it was a real travesty to have such horrible accusations hanging over his head for so long. Now, the extremely witty Josh Levin over at Slate and the highly respected Bill Wyman over at Hitsville have both been covering the R. Kelly trial and associated tribulations with exceptional thoroughness and panache. If you want to know way too much about R&B singer and producer R. Kelly and his penchant for underage girls, I definitely recommend the work of both of these writers. I’m going to try to break it down for y’all here though.

First of all, I think the irony police need to be called. This week Max Hardcore was handed a criminal conviction for making videos of adult women dressed youthfully and engaging in consensual extreme sex acts, most likely including watersports (not the jet-ski kind), videos for which Max Hardcore had full documentation that the women were legally adult and consented to appearing on video and having said video distributed. The same week R. Kelly got excused for making videos of allegedly underage women engaging in arguably consensual extreme acts, definitely including watersports (not the jet-ski kind), videos for which R. Kelly could produce no documentation that the women were not underage or had consented to have their image recorded and shared in this way.

I feel sorry for R. Kelly. I truly do. I suspect he is not competent to handle his own affairs, yet, being rich, he is surrounded by people who apparently regularly take him for as much money as they can carry away. Even the star witness for the prosecution stated . . .

You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:

1. one weapon, real or fictional.
2. one song, real or fictional, blasting on the speakers.
3. one famous person, real or fictional, to fight alongside you

Here are my answers:

1. One slutty outfit that Adam Monroe really really really likes.
2. It’s So Easy by GNR, Ministry/Skold extended remix because I want to scream, “turn around, bitch, I’ve got a use for you!” before zombie-smashing
3. Adam Monroe (yes, you are a dork like me if you get the reference)

If someone is interested in you romantically and/or sexually, does that make you like them less?

If you are looking for more friends, does it upset you off if someone expresses that they are looking for something else and might have a sexual or romantic interest in you?

If you do not want more people in your life, do you find an expression of sexual or romantic interest to be an intrusion?

If you are oriented towards one-night-stands or brief relationships, do you automatically stop having affection or interest grow for someone once they express sexual or romantic interest in you?

If you are oriented towards long-term relationships or marriage, do you start evaluating someone along more exacting life partner criteria once they express sexual or romantic interest in you?

Basically, do you like someone hot for you less?

Max Hardcore and Ira Isaacs and Obscenity

by Amelia G : June 12th, 2008

I’d like to take a moment out from my busy schedule of rolling around on the floor laughing at the recent obscenity prosecutions in the United States, in order to comment on them. Veteran adult video performer and producer Max Hardcore was just found guilty of obscenity in Florida. For those who are unaware of his oeuvre, Max Hardcore was the first guy on the extreme-hardcore-with-teens bus. Whether or not you really want to see gaping anal or watersports or puking in a sexual context or even naked chicks who look younger than twenty-two, Max Hardcore certainly deserves both credit and responsibility for bringing such things into the popular culture. Apparently, along with credit for his ground-breaking work in rough sex on camera comes an attempt by the State of Florida to nail him on 20 counts of distributing obscene materials through the mails and internet. Now I have it on good authority that various government agents have been so anxious to bust Max Hardcore over the years that one such over-eager and nervous gent once accidentally discharged a firearm in Max’s house, during a study of paperwork, such that repairs were needed. Now, don’t get me wrong, Blue Blood magazine in print used to get screeners of Max’s movies way before they got as extreme as they supposedly are now. And I couldn’t sit through one then. At the time, I was just like, how did some construction worker manage to parlay an interest in sex into this huge career?

Now Blue Blood art director Forrest Black and I used to enjoy going to all the adult industry trade shows. We attended the adult video shows in Vegas since the pre-Internet times when the adult video show was a little room in the Sands which was part of CES, the Consumer Electronics Show. The very first time I encountered Max Hardcore in person, we shared an elevator at one of those shows and Max told Forrest he liked his fun fur coat. That was about the extent of the interaction and it was still enough for me to be blown away by Max’s charisma. Max Hardcore has that kind of rockstar thing where you stand next to him and he just exudes hotness. He has perfect manners, only you just know he is nasty as all get-out in the bedroom. He has that total Madonna in the living room and whore in the bedroom thing down and he is just very appealing on a basic lizard brain level. Everyone knows a guy where chicks do things with him that they would normally never do. Max Hardcore is one of . . .

My quiz results are not particularly surprising, although they fail to take into account that I require the iced latte from the foodie coffeehouse and I’m not quiet. The rest is wholly accurate.

You love books but by no means are you a nerd! You sip ice coffe while reading a good book. You are a little on the quiet side but you dream big and load. If you find a good book let me know, K?

If you care about fashion stuff, my accessories were courtesy of Antiseptic Fashion, shirt through the kindness of Retail Slut, and skirt by Donna Karan. This reminds me that I bought new makeup in Portland but have not gotten around to unpacking it. I really meant to go to many festivities this weekend, but my schedule got all turned around and I spaced and was kinda off on what day it was until too late. I left my Blackberry charger in San Francisco.

This month has been really hard so far, but I’m feeling a little happier now.

And here is a hot photo I shot (and like) of people in love kissing each other. You know, to make up for posting something about my personal rage. Lots more free on BlueBlood.net.

I am going to stab the next person who asks me whether someone who is [fill in ethnicity of choice here] can model for BlueBlood.com or who points out that there are people who have modeled for BlueBlood.com who are [fill in ethnicity of choice here] so shouldn’t they be on there too. I might care what the color of someone’s hair is, but why the fuck would I care what the heritage of their parents or the color of their skin is? I would never reject someone for the heritage of their parents or the color of their skin, but I wouldn’t give them preferential treatment or affirmative action for it either. Have Gentlemen’s Agreements seriously infiltrated “alt”? WTF?

Anyone think that 50 Cent propped up the rapper with the moniker of The Game because he wanted to be able to say, “don’t hate the player; hate The Game”?

Do you think that the idea of hating the competition but not how someone plays it makes sense?

Fear Itself and The Top 10 Scariest Movies Ever

by Amelia G : June 5th, 2008

When, in his first inaugural address, US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt stated that, “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself” he wasn’t necessarily talking about the nature of horror in television and film. The main thrust of his speech was that, in wretched economic times, hope and a positive attitude were integral to pulling America out of the Depression. Nonetheless, that one expression has, in the general zeitgeist, outlasted the rest of his speech about how “Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits.” And it seems fair to say that the line about the only thing we have to fear certainly outlasted FDR’s exhortations that there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments; there must be an end to speculation with other people’s money, and there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency.”

Historically, comedy entertainment has flourished in times of economic strife and war and drama and horror have done better when the audience’s day-to-day lives have been more comfortable and free of fear. But we live in interesting times and horror is booming. NBC has an ambitious new television series starting today which showcases the works of thirteen top horror teams. In case this wasn’t obvious from my deconstruction of the origins of the expression about what we have to fear, the name of the series is Fear Itself.

I asked my unsavory pals and I asked the Blue Blood boards and I asked my sixty thousand close personal friends on MySpace . . .

Cupcakes and Sexperts at Freddy and Eddy

by Amelia G : June 1st, 2008

I’ve mentioned the most excellent writer/editor Rachel Kramer Bussel’s In the Flesh reading series here before. Kicking off during this week’s Book Expo, local editor/writer Carly Milne started curating a left coast version of In the Flesh.

The event was at a Venice couple-oriented adult store called Freddy and Eddy. Freddy and Eddy has the adorable slogan “where couples can come” for their brick and mortar location and I’ve been meaning to check it out forever. I keep getting invited to cool readings there, but it took Rachel’s extra dollop of coolness to get me to venture out to new territory and I’m so glad I did. The reading area is a spacious beautiful patio out behind the well-appointed and very pink store. I enjoyed chatting with one of the owners and the smart sexpert folks who had gathered for the occasion.

Although the video above is what Rachel read at Freddy and Eddy’s, the clip is actually from the most recent right coast In the Flesh reading event. (People say left coast for Cali all the time; can you say right coast for New York?) At the California one, the theme was Survival. The first reader was Willam Belli who is an incredibly charismatic trannie whose reading, about an odd hook-up with a tattooed hottie, connected so much with the audience that it came across more as performance than reading. The way this piece tied into the theme of Survival was more punchline than actual fit, but it was very entertaining. Esteemed anthologist Maxim Jakubowski read a piece about how relationships have soundtracks, which I think is a very true insight. Stan Kent dressed like a rockstar and read an excerpt of a series . . .
