I’m going to a porn convention!

Um, that blonde on the second page is REALLY hot.
[/QUOTE]

Yes. Yes she is. I believe her name is Jessica Drake, and she comes from San Antonio. :smiley:

OK, details.

It was a great experience. While I was talking to the porn stars there, I found myself totally rethinking the porn, er, adult entertainment industry.

What was most evident was how friendly and down-to-earth most of the stars were. We (or at least, I) have the popular image of the typical porn star to be a vacuous, air head. On the contrary, most of them were really sharp. I even found myself discussing physics with one enchanting lady (god, I’m such a nerd).

On the male side, what stuck me was how non-studly they appeared to be. Ron Jeremy is fat and ugly (hey, I could be a porn star too!), a nice guy but certainly not cabana boy material. There was another guy there named Dave Cummings (heh) that I talked to. He looked like someone’s grandpa: old, bald, and what hair he had was white. Again, not the stereotypical stud.

There is a pajama party at the hotel tonight that one of the ladies (the physics one) invited me to, but I don’t think I’m going to go. I told that to one of my friends, and he said that if I don’t go he won’t speak to me for a month, but I’ve got a huge accounting final on Monday that I need to study for.

All said and done…It was a hoot, and if they come back next year, I would definitely go again.

The weird thing about the convention was that Barbara was introducing me to the girls and most of the time there would be huge posters of the girls doing their thing right behind them. What, exactly, are you supposed to say?
[/QUOTE]

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’ve always been deeply moved and inspired by your work!” :smiley:

Actually, I think a courteously phrased compliment referencing a particular film you especially enjoyed would not be amiss. Certainly they’re well aware of what they do for a living – complimenting them for a job well done (in the sense of playing a role in a film) would not go amiss.

Much more seriously, my congratulations on getting and staying clean and dry! :slight_smile:

I thought to myself, “Self, I ought to go to this to exercise my First Amendment rights and to spite cunts like that.
[/QUOTE]

I hope you have fun at the convention, EvilAsh. I happen to like porn, myself. But I recognize that other people can hold a different opinion about it without calling them “cunts.” That’s kinda harsh, dude.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait a second here. You got invited.

You’re not going?
If you don’t go, you’re dead to me.
This isn’t just you going to the party. You’re an envoy of all your friends and the Dope.
Bone with confidence.

Hm. Jessica Drake. makes mental note

Criticism acknowledged. But speaking as one who holds a libertarian philosophy, those who try to dictate their morality to others really rub me the wrong way.

27

Least Original User Name Ever, an envoy, huh? Does that mean I would have diplomatic immunity? :dubious: :smiley:

28

Besides, uh, strictly speaking I don’t wear pajamas. :o

Yeah, the movie they were promoting was, Manhunters, if you are interested.

30

Heh. You’ve got diplomatic immunity, but you still should wear a rubber. We’ll just tell the girls you call a condom your “pajamas”.
You ARE going, right?

31

It certainly looks as if you had a great time.

32

I think you’ve misunderstood why Ron Jeremy is a porn star…

Or any of the other male performers in straight porn. You could loke like Janet Reno as long as you can sling your meat on cue.

They don’t either. That is why we are all sitting here going :smack: at a second-hand world-class fuckup of which there is no redemption.

Well said.

EvilAsh, you better not be answering us because you’re at this pajama party.
Don’t you disappoint us, buster.

36

Wait a second.
Can’t you multi-task at all? (What have kids come to nowadays!)

Just study for your accounting exam at the party. After all you DID talk physics with a porn star at a porn convention.
Accounting studies at a porn pajama party should be a piece of cake. :smiley:

37

Photo taken while at a porn convention: 1,000 points. :wink:

38

Looks like you had fun. <snerk>

I’m glad you went - may as well enjoy life while we’ve got it, I feel.

At the bottom of this thread right now is a Google ad for “KY Flood Risk.” After all this talk of porn stars’ pajama parties, I pictured a flood of KY lube at the party instead of overflowing streams in Kentucky. :stuck_out_tongue:

And if that porn star “comes from San Antonio” all the way to Houston, poor EvilAsh may get flash-flooded. :eek: :smiley:
