In The Flesh

Given the fact that porn stars seem to be everywhere we look these days, it really shouldn't take over six weeks for us to collect enough reader-submitted sightings for one of these posts. If you see someone out and about who you think might be a porn star, remember that it never hurts to ask them: even if it turns out that you're mistaken, they'll at least be flattered by the assumption. (Or give you a black eye, depending on their sense of humor.)

"If I hadn't seen that 'XXX' documentary on HBO last Thursday night, I probably wouldn't have recognized Nina Hartley and her husband walking through LAX on Friday morning. She had her hair down and was wearing black horn-rimmed glasses, a black turtleneck and jeans ... kind of like a sexy off-duty schoolteacher look. They were in a hurry and talking very animatedly."

"I saw Mari Possa and Seymore Butts getting out of a cab on Collins Street in Chicago this weekend. He was wearing a grey sweatsuit, grey sneaks and a grey knit cap, while she was in jeans, purple boots with fur trim, and a black quilted jacket. She was tiny!"

"There were probably lots of porn stars at the Pimp 'n' Ho Ball in Chicago last weekend (Ed. note: see above), but the only one I'm pretty sure I recognized was Gauge, despite the black wig she was wearing. She was also wearing white satin lingerie with black lace trim, and was accompanied by a heavily tattooed guy wearing a red velvet fedora with a huge feather sticking out of it. I'm assuming she was the 'ho' and he was the 'pimp'. I also think she was very, very drunk—though so was I by that point in the evening, so maybe I shouldn't even mention it. And it is just me, or is she the closest thing the porn industry has to a Mary-Kate Olsen lookalike?"

"Lots of gay pornsters spotted at Boysroom in the East Village last Saturday night for Chi Chi LaRue's party, including new It Boy Owen Hawk (= totally hot) and Fredrick Ford (= not nearly as scary looking as I thought)." (Ed. note: snaps from the event at notthatboy.blogspot.com.)
