Gay Porn Classics: Chi Chi LaRue's Hand Picked (2002)

Chi Chi LaRue is one of the porn industry's grandest dames and for good reason -- she's earned respect as a director and success as a brand. Her Live and Raw Hotel regularly checks in hot studs who are more than willing to show their premises. She's the driving force behind Rascal Video and has directed for more studios (including Falcon, Rascal, Catalina and All Worlds. Hell, she even directed on for Vivid on the straight tip.)

Chi Chi's dictatorial directorial style on porn shoots is legendary -- but it produces flawless results -- gay video that is as exacting as it is hot. The Handpicked Series is the porn hawk at her best -- catching (and often signing) punkish, but always handsome talent like Matt Summers.

I'm still trying to figure out what happened to the sweet and stacked Joel Thomas, whose scenes leave you aching for more of his hairy ass and dirty talk.
