(This is a re-post from April 2004, as it was lost in my archives, and recently dug up. I will be back to my regular syndication in a day or so.)
Life seems to get more and more bizarre as I go through it.
I recently was sitting at a bar enjoying a beer, minding my own business and reading a recent article in Fab Magazine. There was this French guy sitting next to me who was working on his laptop. I couldn't help but look over at what he was scrolling through - literally hundreds of photos of naked guys and websites.
I left to take a leak and when I came back, the guy turns to me and says he was just chatting about me with his business partner. I asked what they were chatting about, and he tells me that he is a website and porn producer, and that his friend is a Toronto Spa owner. They wanted me to consider the possibility of going to Montreal to film a porn and to be the "poster child" for the Spa - needless to say I was in a bit of a shock. Not exactly bar conversation, or the first thing you expect someone to ask you.
Mind you, I was flattered beyond belief, but had no idea what to do or say. He proceeded to show me his work and sites that he promotes, and tells me he wants me to represent an untapped and open market in representing Asians in the community.
The first image that crossed my mind was some gratuitous portrayal of my face and naked body splayed across a box with the title "Kung-Pao Chicken" or "Riding the Orient Express" emblazoned in a red Chinese style font.
The second image was that the box would be on some window of a Yonge Street porn shop.
The third image was my mom passing out on Yonge Street in front of the said porn shop.
My friends have been split on this issue. Some say no and others say yes. One wants to be my manager so that he can get a cut out of it.... I have such caring wonderful supportive friends.
Anyhow, its been an interesting experience and I'll let you all know what my decision is. Better yet, just keep your eye out for me on your nearest porn shop shelf.

If it's consolation, anyone who recognizes you is guilty of getting the porn. Your mum won't see porn on Yonge unless she's looking for it.
And go for it!
I nearly made one...
i'm with dickey. what the hell. go for it!
As long as RB is okay with that...
:)
As this post was originally from April 2004, I'm guessing that you didn't go for it. If you did, cough up the video title!
However, I think porn is a bad idea. I could see dancing live, but from knowing people in the regular film industry, movie shoots are pretty boring between, um, shots.
Porn pays really lousy all things considered and isn't as much fun as it seems. As well, there may be some point down the road where one might - in theory - regret having such a thing on tape. I assume.
Hahahah that's hilarious. I can so relate. A lot of my male and a few female 'friends' over the years have encouraged me, even offered to fund me to set up as a cam girl. But I think of the fact that my little bro might come across it in his travels and I shudder. Eeek.
From my years of performing gonzo as Madame Misty Peaks, I have to say, its very, very rewarding work. ::wink wink:: I say, do it. But then I would, wouldn't I?
So, did you do it???
Did I do it? you all can just read the next post for an update.
