A very busy and exhausting month…

Okay.. I finally have a free moment to breathe, and maybe report a little bit on all the stuff I’ve been doing.

Trouble is, you get so busy doing things, that there’s no time for PR. Then everybody thinks you’ve dropped off the face of the earth or something, or that you’re sitting at home playing video games and shopping online for pocketbooks.

No. I’ve barely had a day all to myself all this month.. No “weekends”, or afternoons off. Pretty much working on stuff till I drop, and then when I do, somehow digging into the bottom of the barrel until I find a little more energy to do something that needs to be done. Case in point: This month.

Well, first things first. I cancelled my annual “vacation” to the Pennsic War (don’t ask me what it is, if you can’t google it and figure it out, then why are you using the internet?). I looked at all the looming BIG trips I had planned for September (Montreal Fetish Weekend and then a few weeks later – The Fetish Queen of the Universe Pageant in Jamacia), and all the things I needed to do before that, and somehow a vacation where none of that work was going to get done by itself seemed far more stressful than staying at home and doing the work.

So I stayed at home for the 9 days (August 3rd through 12th) that I would have wasted at Pennsic getting sunburn and stressing out about how I was going to cram 2 weeks of work in like 17 hours. But since someone had been counting on me for a ride to Pennsic… well, I had to fix a few things on my car and then send them on their way. And when I mean a few things I mean a timing belt and a water pump. Which of course I installed myself (on a VW New Beetle) becuase A: I have the skills to do it, and B: I don’t currently have the $1200 to pay someone else to do it. And I fucking hope I never have to do that again.

So there was a day or two of banged knuckles and swearing at Mexican workmanship of German technology of convoluted motor mounts and bleeding a cooling system with antifreeze that looks like Lincoln Grape Drink. But I sent my friend off, said a few prayers that the whole thing would last the 1200 miles round trip (which it did!) and then got right into the next project. Which was…

I had a friend (a good videographer) who owed me some shooting work for the duration of a whole day. The set for “Cotton Candyass” was still up, and in another shooting bay of my studio was the background and poker table for “Showgirl”. And after a little switchover, we also shot “Smoking Sexpot” and then outdoors we managed to squeeze in some footage of “Revolutionary Whore” on the flower decorated swing. And yes, I popped two little magic blue pills and ended each shoot with a nice (if diminishing per shoot) climax. So yeah, four solo video shoots in a day. This was August 9th. There had been a day or two of making the sets all ready for shooting, and also some overlap with the Uranus Needs Shemales shooting I also did early this month (which I will get to later in this blog post).

Anyway, the BIG thing I was gearing up for was flying Tiffany Starr to visit for about a week. She’s originally from the Massachusetts area and wanted to visit other people, but she’d spend a few days here shooting all the requisite lines of dialogue and a sex scene with me for Uranus Needs Shemales. Tiffany is playing Queen Xxxandixxia, the nemesis of my character, the heroic Cummander Asstra Galasstica.

So around the 5th or so I booked her flight and had her scheduled to shoot for somewhere in the week of August 21-27th. But of course, the set of Xxxandixia’s bridge needed to be built, and it needed to be built in the shooting bay which had been the home of my “Surface of the planet Uranus” set.

Which in turn I wasn’t quite finished with. The planet set, which used like fourteen 80 lb bags of sand on the floor (what a mess!) and blue paper rocks- was still needed for some crucial shots for the big three-testostrobot-on-Asstra sex scene. The set itself had been standing for like a year and a half as I slowly shot the scene, depending on when I had friends to help me out and be inside the robot costumes, or help in other ways.

But I had already shot about 80% of the footage for that scene already, with the robot climax shots being some of the most difficult to rig up. And I know you guys all haven’t seen any footage of this yet, and yes this movie has been in production for like 4 years. Trust me, as soon as I get another free moment, I’ll post an update of a snippet or a new preview or something.. I want to get myself to a point where the movie is mostly done before I start hyping it. And getting the other main character (of three, myself and Mandy Mitchell) cast and her scenes “in the can” is a big part of that.

Sooooooo.. where were we.. Ah yes, the sand set. So I had this set of a planet surface with sand and fake paper rocks and a cheezy looking horizon. And I managed to get most of the robot cumshots all taken care of (which in itself can be another blog post) roughly around the week of August 8-15th. But then I was thinking – “wait a minute, I need a new photo shoot, and it would be a shame to not do some sort of shoot on the set?” And I also have the Dildroid costume that Mandy Mitchell wore for her scenes in UNS. Okay, so it may confuse people if they see her in the outfit and then me in the same outfit, but hey, it’s my damn outfit, I’ll do whatever I like. And Mars was in the news recently with the landing of the Curiosity rover. Hmmm. damn, I bet no one out there has done a porn shoot on a Mars rover. Hmm… might as well be me!

So I whipped up this on like August 16th.

Yes, I borrowed my lawnmower’s wheels. And found something that made awesome solar panels. And before you try to tell me that Curiosity is nuclear powered, yes I know.. This isn’t “Curiosity”.. It’s “Spirit”. You know, the one that went offline a few years ago. Well, after it lost it’s NASA funding it was forced to do porn. Seems plausible to me.

Anyway, the Spirit/Oppurtunity rovers are much smaller (No freaking way I was about to make a car-sized prop!), and when you stumble across a furnace filter at Home Depot for $2 each that makes a kick-ass solar panel, you pretty much try to make the easiest Mars rover prop you can in like 7 hours.

And no, you can’t ride it. Actually, it’s mostly cardboard and pvc pipe barely held together with a few drywall screws. The whole entire prop was made to last a few hours while I whipped out a new (and very topical!) shoot so that I could finally get rid of that cursed sand once and for all.  So now the sand is gone.  And so is the rover prop.

But here’s the final result:
