Porn Valley's HIV Crisis -- Lara Roxx
interview, bl0g updates
04/19/2004 12:15 AM

Adult Video News has what appears to be the first extensive interview with Canadian teenager Lara Roxx, the second of two porn actors to be diagnosed HIV positive last week.

When she arrived in L.A. in mid-March from Montreal, on a ticket paid for with borrowed funds, her short brown hair streaked with pink, all she wanted to do was perform in enough scenes to create a nest-egg that she could take back to Canada and use to go on with her life. Instead, she's now broke, jobless and had been staying with friends, and if the tests come back Saturday evening as she's hoping they won't, HIV-positive.

"My manager [Daniel Perrault] woke me up on that morning that they all found out,"Roxx told AVN.com. "I was very upset on that day; I don't even remember what day it was."It was Tuesday, April 13, the day the news broke that popular performer Darren James had contracted HIV -- the first active performer on the straight side of the industry to do so in nearly five years.

"When I got there, me and Marc had a little conversation, because Thomas Hope told me I was going to do a d.p., and so I get there and Marc Anthony tells me it's a d.a., which stands for double anal, "Roxx recalled. "And I'm like, '‘What? I've never done a double anal.' And he's like, 'Well, that's what we need. It's either that or nothing.' And that's how they do it. But Marc Anthony was playing that, and I think that really sucks, because I'm mad at the friend I thought I had in Marc, because he knew double anal was dangerous. I knew it too, really, probably, but I was just putting it way back in my mind because I was down in California to make the maximum amount of money, to come back home wealthy. I had plans for the money."

LinK to AVN interview. Fleshbot has also been doing a terrific job of pointing to good sources of breaking news on the HIV scare -- the industry's first in five years. AVN is collecting donations to assist Ms. Roxx, and also posts news that adult film star Jenna Jameson has launched a fundraising campaign to help porn industry workers suffering financial hardships from both the quarantine and the production moratorium. And Carly Milne at Pornblography posts this damning rant from one porn industry worker who says, "I'm about the most gung-ho porno guy you'll ever meet. But I'm pretty sick to my stomach right now hearing about the people who just don't care."

Dan Gillmor blogs today:
You've probably read about the HIV scare in the porn business. The San Francisco Chronicle suggests that the adult-entertainment industry look to lessons learned in San Francisco during the 1980s. And an industry-news site (note: this site may not be work-safe) takes an even sterner approach, urging a massive database tracking just about everything an individual actor may have done.

bl0g
11/16/2003 11:36 AM
Famous French adult film director John B. Root, nee John Guillore, has launched a self-described "sexblog" about his life and the porn biz: Inkorrekt, the Diary of a Pornographer. Not long ago, Root was the author of an open letter protesting a French ban on TV porn organized by right-wing and "family values"groups.

"Porn's subject matter is physical love, a theme that has produced countless masterpieces in painting, in sculpture and in literature," wrote Root. "If celluloid sex has never succeeded in hoisting itself to the rank of a cinematographic or televisual genre, it is because we have denied it the right to be economically viable. We wouldn't be having this debate if porn was what it should be: joyous, well-made, aphrodisiac art, respectful of its actors and its audience, portraying real people and making sense of its subject matter."

"Public relations should first understand that to the extent that its art is a form of 'spin'--whether it's reasonable spin, accepted spin, good spin, bad spin, terrible spin--it is selling a service for which there is less and less value, and less mind is paid to it. Spin was possible in the era of few-to-many media, and a small number of gatekeepers who could be spun...."

Blog-detectives tackle suspected Mexican

Blog-detectives tackle suspected Mexican
child-porn recruitment site
07/24/2004 06:10 PM
Eduardo Arcos, editor of the Spanish-language blog ALT1040, is conducting an online investigation into a website suspected of recruiting teenage girls in Mexico for child porn. He's soliciting help from other bloggers, and using the "comment" feature in his blog as a way to exchange info with concerned citizens throughout the blogosphere. Together they're collecting data, with the apparent goal of revealing who's behind the suspect site -- and seeing to it that appropriate action is taken to protect potential victims. Here's my clunky attempt at translating Arcos' summary post:
A site called TV-whores with a theme and intentions that are very clear, contains the following text: Girls from 13 - 19 years of age: earn thousands of pesos simply by taking photographs. More information here. (...)

The page in question offers thousands of pesos to 13-19-year-old girls for taking digital photos. You don't have to be naked, you can be in a bikini or underwear, it says... but it's more than suspicious."
