Porn Star Sighting – Francois Sagat
It's Folsom Fair Week in San Francisco and ALL the porn stars in the world are descending on our fair city. I spotted Francois Sagat at Gold's Gym yesterday and somehow got the courage up to say hi to him. Not only did he recognize me but he know me by name! (My heart was all aflutter!)
I asked if he is still an exclusive with Titan and teased that someday he should work for me. He offered that we could work on "something else".
Oh my. I told him I had an art project I wanted to talk to him about and gave him my card. I've been checking my email hourly ever since.
Former Lavender Lounge Studio Burns
Last night there was a big fire at the Park Hotel on Folsom street. The UPS guy came to the door and said there was a big fire around the corner. I could smell the smoke, and the minute he said that, I knew what building it was.
From 1994 through 2000 I rented the ground floor store front space at 1044 Folsom in San Francisco as the first physical location for Lavender Lounge Studios. For about two years during that time I also rented the adjoining space at 1042 Folsom. The entrance to the Park Hotel on the second and third floors is 1040 Folsom. For the kind of projects I was working on 1200 or even 2400 square feet was barely minimal, and many potential clients turned it down because it was too small. With 43 residents living above that space, you can imagine how small those rooms were.
The studio space I rented at 1044 Folsom was a big, open area with bathroom and kitchen in the back. My first project was to build a loft area above the kitchen as my office. A few months after I moved in I got fired from my day job at a law firm, so I used that opportunity to work full time at producing gay porn movies.
Some of the films of mine that were shot there were:
CUSTOMER SERVICE
ONLINE CONNECTIONS
STREET FAIR MEAT
LAID FOR WORK
THAT OLD WHOREHOUSE
NUDE HOUSEKEEPING
A couple movies for Hot House and Titan were shot there, too, but I can't remember the titles...
So now it's pretty certain that the building is gone. On the one hand, I'm glad the bastards that own the building got what they deserved, but on the other hand, it's a disaster for everyone involved. The residents upstairs were one step from homeless, and now, sadly, they probably will be homeless. The residents of the Park Hotel were all on SSI or General Assistance, and it pisses me off that the bulk of their checks went right to the landlords, who did nothing to keep the place safe or livable.
The community will suffer because the building had so many permit violations it will be an eyesore for many years till they can get the permits to tear it down and start over. The landlords will get their insurance check in a couple days and not have to spend a nickel other than property tax. The land is probably more valuable now because it's not hampered by the City requirements that it remain a rent controlled low-income building.
The really sad part is the woman who only a few months ago opened a nice restaurant in my old unit at 1044 Folsom. It took her about 5-10 years to get that place up to code in order to open. She utilized every possible minority grant and small business program to get the place opened properly, including adding a whole new glass and marble facade across the front of the whole building. I am 100% certain the bastard landlords didn't give her a bit of help, and the moment she opened, they put a for sale sign on the building to cash in on her upgrades. Douchebags. Now she loses everything.
This should be a lesson - never rent from anyone named Patel.
Tony Buff Is The Kennel Master
{rawcontent rc=219}
Sit…stay…suck. Good boy! Big chew toys are just part of the fun in the latest Rough entry from co-directors Paul Wilde and TitanMen exclusive Tony Buff, who leads a horny cast ready to unleash its inner animal. Bondage, pissing, pup play, dildos and hot wax are just a few of the obedience exercises in store, so grab a bone and lap up this energetic fetish action—which gives new meaning to “man’s best friend”!
Bound to a table, a smiling Tony Vega is at the mercy of manly Dirk Caber… who uses a variety of tools, including a pinwheel, shaving, and pouring hot wax to spark a sinful sensations on his moaning captive. After pissing on the muscular chest of a hooded Tristan Phoenix to mark his territory, handsome Sami Damo disciplines his bud with a huge metal butt plug and a doggie-style fuck to remember.
In an all-out puppy play scene complete with kennel, puppy butt plug, hood and mitts, an excited Steven Daigle drools over his reward for being a good dog—the massive bone of handler Tony Buff, who soon has his panting mutt begging for more.
Prelude
TitanMen exclusive Tony Buff with Steven Daigle
Cute Steven Daigle arrives at the kennel, ready for the care of his new handler Tony Buff. Steven
is stripped down, his hands soon padded and slipped into puppy mitts as Tony pets his scruffy,
obedient canine. Steven then gets a puppy tail butt plug that wags in anticipation, followed by a
dog hood that is soon begging from inside a cage, where he remains captive as the action
unfolds….
Scene 1
Dirk Caber and Tony Vega
Tan stud Tony Vega wastes no time assuming the position, his legs up in the air as he offers his
ass to the bearded chin of hungry hottie Dirk Caber. The muscle man eats his “sexy boy”,
grinding his rock-hard cock on the bottom’s ass. “I want you to fuck me!” begs Tony, soon
moaning as Dirk slams his shaft in balls deep. The two kiss, and the smiling Tony gets it doggie
style as the top grabs hold of his jockstrap. The sweaty top soon explodes on Tony’s back and
ass, but the fun has just begun. Soon blindfolded and bound by his hands and ankles to the table,
the subservient stud is soon at Dirk’s mercy. Lightly using his fingers to deliver a tortuous tickle,
Dirk has his pet squirming. Tony moans even louder as a pin wheel is rolled over his entire body,
including his shaft and sac. Dirk then affixes tubes to Tony’s nipples as he strokes his captive’s
cock, rubbing his bristly beard against it. After shaving Tony’s pubes and balls, Dirk sucks him
before administering his final lesson: coating Tony’s entire body in white hot wax and pissing on
him, the mess soon joined by a coat of cum.
Scene 2
Sami Damo and Tristan Phoenix
Dark and handsome Sami Damo soon has smooth muscle man Tristan Phoenix on the floor,
fingering his bubble ass before hooding him in leather. After more fingering, Sami slides a thick
silver bullet butt plug into Tristan’s hole. Soon on his knees, Tristan’s mouth is freed but quickly
filled with a treat—Sami’s steel slab. The master delivers a heated face fuck before pissing on his
doggie’s chest, then slides his cock in again as he holds on to Tristan’s head. After unplugging
the bottom’s hole, Sami shoves his dick inside for an intense doggie fuck that gets harder and
faster with each thrust. A heated low shot captures the action, from Tristan’s twitching boner to
Sami’s expressions of pleasure. The bottom’s dick bounces as he gets rammed, his face soon
unmasked as he gets fucked on his back. Sami’s abs tighten as he rams away, the top soon
pissing on Tristan again before the two squirt—including a rocket from Sami that flies on and over
Tristan’s pec, the top then rubbing the spooge onto the bottom and using his own load as lube.
Scene 3
TitanMen exclusive Tony Buff with Steven Daigle
Released from his cage, Steven must show off his obedience skills to a kennel club judge. After
passing the test, the pup is unleashed and lured with a chew toy to his master. The encouraging
Tony wants to reward his pet: “Where’s your bone?” he asks, soon whipping out his monster cock
to feed the hungry pup. Steven opens wide and laps up his treat as Tony pets him. As his tail
wags, Steven works his mouth all the way down Tony’s tool, an impressive deep-throat display
that gets the collared pup drooling. Out of breath with the vein on his neck bulging, Steven shows
off his training. Tony gives a kiss of approval, his monster cock throbbing as he strokes Steven.
Their cocks touch, and Tony feeds his best friend again as Steven’s shaft pulses. After clipping
his pup’s tail, Tony fills up the hole with his big dick as the bottom’s tongue laps in approval. Soon
on his back as a great aerial shot looks down, Steven stays stiff as he gets rammed again. Tony
strokes him as he fucks, soon holding on to his pup’s paw. In a final display of power, the top
brings Steven to the brink—forcing him to come into a tube as he tortuously pets the canine’s
shaft, soon injecting the cum into the bottom’s hole. Tony unloads on Steven’s ass, then wraps
his arm around him and rubs his bud’s belly as the two smiling studs end the energetic effort.
Bonus Features: Tony Buff interviews the entire cast in three entertaining clips that explore this rarely filmed fetish. Also included are all of the Rough trailers and looks at TitanMen Tools and Lube.

Dario Beck New Titan Exclusive
Titan Media, parent company of gay mega-brands TitanMen, ManPlay, MSR Video and TitanMen Fresh, is pleased to announce it has signed a multi-year contract making Dario Beck its newest exclusive performer. The 25-year old Italian makes his TitanMen debut in the upcoming Brian Mills-directed film Distraction.
Standing 6’2” with a ripped, muscular physique, Dario epitomizes the archetypal tall, dark and handsome man you would expect to find in mainstream Hollywood films and television. Having spent years in front of the camera as both a fashion and runway model and as a television actor in Europe, Dario is very comfortable performing for the camera. While raised in Italy and Germany, Dario now resides in Barcelona and can be seen in numerous billboard and magazine layouts, as well as on several television programs.
"I grew up in the Midwest where almost everyone was fair-skinned and blond with light-colored eyes,” says director Brian Mills. “I always dreamt of dark-haired, dark-eyed men with chiseled bodies and tan skin. Dario epitomizes everything I ever fantasized about men."
Dario’s TitanMen debut film will be Distraction, to be released in mid-February, where he appears with TitanMen exclusives Dean Flynn and Marco Blaze. Next, he will be seen in another Brian Mills-directed TitanMen film, Heatstroke. The versatile performer will also star in a European feature film under the TitanMen Fresh brand later this spring.
“I’m really excited about becoming a TitanMen Exclusive,” says Beck. “Shooting with Brian Mills and the TitanMen team has been a great experience. I always loved TitanMen movies, and being part of such a great team is awesome. I’m a TitanMen Exclusive….I mean, how lucky can one guy be? I’m looking forward to future projects with TitanMen and I think 2010 will be a very hot year!”

JR has proven himself to be enthusiastic and curious to try new things. I can hardly wait to see what he can show us over the next couple of years!" Matthews stands 6’ tall with a stunningly ripped physique. His broad shoulders taper down to a ripped six pack leading to a beautiful up-curved cock. JR is extremely limber and flexible, allowing him to assume just about any position and to even suck his own cock!

Grabby 2009 – Gay Porn Movie Awards
Last night was the Grabby Awards in Chicago. It's always a fun event with a lot of emphasis on it being a fan event rather than an industry-only event.

And I also got word Titan signed 22 year old Will Parker as an exclusive - their youngest ever. “Will came to us through our website, sending us a model application a few weeks ago. At his young age, 22, you’d expect him to be more of a “boy,” says Brian Mills, lead director and partner of Titan Media. “While his face may say innocent, his amazing gymnast physique combined with his piggy sexual appetite makes him a perfect fit for TitanMen. Will is a lot of fun to watch—he’s playful, energetic and VERY flexible!”

Parker, a Florida native, is 22 years old, stands 5’9” with stunningly ripped physique and is an amazingly adept bottom. Not only is he innocently handsome, he has one of the most strikingly cut musculatures and one of the most beautiful gymnast’s asses in the industry. Parker stars in two soon-to-be-released IML features. One will be under the TitanMen Folsom branded line of hardcore leather/Fetish films and the second will be as part of the new Extreme Fetish brand directed by Tony Buff.
“I am still in awe of all that has happened so quickly,” says Will. “It’s always been my fantasy to be a part of a TitanMen film, and now I am living my fantasy. I can’t wait to see what comes next!”
Parker will be appearing live at the International Mr. Leather show in May alongside TitanMen exclusives Tony Buff, Dean Flynn and director Brain Mills. The men of Titan will be debuting three new films exclusively at IML, including a co-production with Priape Leather and the very first film in the Tony Buff-directed “ROUGH” line of extreme fetish films.

Summary of GayVN Nominated Movies 2009
I just finished casting my votes for the GayVN Awards for 2009! Whew! What a job that was! As always, I had to go through a marathon of viewing movies at the last minute. Thank goodness I've been watching them throughout the year so I was a somewhat prepared.
As an over-all observation of the gay porn industry, I am once again impressed by the quality of films made this year. Though it gets tedious sometimes, every once in a while, I get blown away by a set design, a lighting technique, a special effect, or a breath taking location. Rarely do I see a sex position I've never seen before, but when I do, it may either challenge me or not, but I always welcome innovation. Each year the cameras and the computers get better, and the guys running them get more proficient.
I am going to give you a quick rundown of some of the movies I just watched over the last few days while they are still fresh in my mind.
To The Last Man by Raging Stallion will probably make an enormous sweep of the awards this year. It's the biggest epic undertaking of the year, and though not perfect, it deserves acclaim just for taking such big chances.
Titan's Funhouse picks up the carney /circus theme they've done once a year for the past few years incorporating real gymnasts and circus performers in their contortion-like sex positions. Francois Sagat appears in both Funhouse and Breakers as an oddball character that keeps showing up at odd times. Breakers is another coming-out-of-retirement project by Bruce Cam who has had more retirement parties than Cher. If you liked Bruce Cam's earlier outdoor epics, you'll like this one, too. It's got the same campfire scene in every one.
The Best Sex Comedy category was pretty sparse this year, but that one is always tough. Jet Set Men 's Jock Tease had a genuinely funny montage at the end, but the dialogue throughout the rest of the movie was just butch sounding jock posturing. Not so funny for guys that intimidated by that shit. Straight boy Aaron James seemed to enjoy his role as the sluttiest jock willing to fuck anyone anyhow, while the other gay actors tried to act like they weren't. Irony, darling, irony.
Sex Hiker from upstart company Black Scorpion was big surprise. They appear intent on out-classing their competitors to put out a super premium product. Starting with hiring a South American runway model, D.O. (pronounced Dee-oh), and mr. Pam, they spent a shit load of money not only on production, but the packaging to mimic a fashion magazine shoot.
Foreign films are always a treat because they often incorporate exotic locales. Both AMG Brasil's Rio and Lucas Kazan's Italians and Other Strangers impressed me with the b-roll footage of gorgeous scenery and showed some genuine effort in the production. Lucas Kazan can always be counted on to provide a beautiful tableau that is out of this world.
As another diversion, I got to see a lot of twink movies, and Brent Corrigan seems to have that category wrapped up - but how the hell is he going to transition to bear movies when he turns 30?
This year for the first time, the GayVN Awards have several categories honoring websites. Randy Blue has such a stable of incredible models, but has never put out any DVDs. It would be interesting to see how a feature-length Randy Blue movie on DVD would stack up against other movie studios. Hmm.
And finally, in the fetish / leather / kink categories, Hot House has really learned to mix beauty with pain to consistently put out outstanding products that are challenging and creative. But for raw, niche-specific, know-your-audience fetish material, I was impressed by Lucas Entertainment's Piss! I usually get quite queasy watching piss scenes, but this simple, straight forward look at the fetish was somehow engaging even to me. The piss scenes outdoors and in bath tubs I could understand, but when they were peeing indoors on the floor and leather furniture, I kept thinking about how to get rid of that smell! (I guess Michael Lucas is rich enough to just throw away furniture and move out!)
That's my summary of the best gay porn movies from 2008, and though I didn't give you all heaps of praise in this one blog entry, perhaps it will all pay off when you pick up your trophies! Congratulations everyone, and keep up the good work!
