Porn Valley- I’m hearing things and if they prove true, don’t sound so good. The fund that Jenna Jameson established for porn performers https://www.adultfyi.com/read.aspx?ID=3236 seems to be earmarked in other ways. I haven’t been able to corroborate the story entirely but am told that $17,000 of $20,000 collected so far, including money from the recent Blondage event, has gone directly to AIM. When one performer went to apply for some money, this is what they were told. If you’re curious as to where some past industry money has gone, check out this story from the adultfyi archives: https://www.adultfyi.com/read.aspx?ID=2637

I’m now hearing rumblings that other independent fund raisers are being set up that will go DIRECTLY to the performers, no middleman red tape involved.

I understand that NIOSH, the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health has plans to investigate the adult industry. A whole slew of meetings are now being set up for this week and next. NIOSH will be looking at production companies, for one. I’m told that “a lot of people are going to be in for a lot of surprises.”

The Leslie Bill isn’t dead despite what you might be reading on other sites. Though it stands to be revised- big time because of its criticized slap-dash content. In fact, June 4th is being set for hearings in Van Nuys under the auspices of Assemblyman Cortez’s office, in which porn performers are going to be invited to speak. Based on the NIOSH findings, standards will then be set.

I understand that a Labor & Employment Bill is also being looked at.

There are rumblings about a central data base monitoring porn shoots, etc., to be set up in Sacramento.

There was an industry performer years ago from the East Coast named Dusty. She supposedly contracted HIV and disappeared from the business. So this should come as unsettling news to some. Dusty was used by at least one porn company to serve as a “hostess” during the porn conventions. Wonder how many distributors or customers of said company got a little more than what they bargained for?

Frankie LaRue is doing jail time- apparently picked up on outstanding warrants. Wankus talked about it on his KSEX show Monday night, www.ksexradio.com.
