Blue Nearly Blew It

There are moments when I treasure my status as a writer in the gay adult entertainment industry because I get to share those moments with the readers of this column and illuminate the lighter side of gay XXX. Two such moments occurred recently. The first went down on Friday, September 12 when director-star Paul Baressi hijacked a panel on gay porn journalism at the Hollywood convention of the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association by jumping up from his chair, pulling off his shirt and flexing.

The other moment came when director-star Blue Blake was filming a scene for his upcoming flick "The Bouncer." He had gathered $10,000 in $100-dollar bills for a scene in which two models were to screw atop the pile of money. They were indoors, and the plan was to first shower the models (one of whom was newcomer Ben Campezi) with the bills. Cameras were rolling as the money was tossed into the air... at the exact moment "a goddamned wind tunnel" (per Mr. Blake) sucked the money through an open door and out into the yard. "I watched the whole thing in slow motion," Mr. Blake said. "All of these bills just got sucked right through the door and fanned out over the backyard." The horrified cast and crew dropped everything and spent several frantic minutes chasing errant $100-dollar bills as they fluttered in the breeze. Go ahead; take a second or two and picture that scene in your mind's eye.

Blue Blake (www.blueblake.com) moved from being a performer to being a producer a few years ago specializing in huge bodybuilders like Caesar, Tom Katt, Jake Gianelli, Scott Gunz and Duke Miller.
