“House of Ass” And Fog

The nuns taught us that “Tom Byron’s House of Ass” had many mansions, and we didn’t understand it then and we don’t understand it now. What is important is that this 10th installment is the last installment (“I’m going to take a break,” Byron says) and that in this house, Charley Chase has a fantastic basement.

What is the thematic difference between Byron’s series “Lord of Asses” and “House of Ass” other than, say, spelling?

Perhaps this confusion influenced Byron’s decision to jettison one of them.

“I’m known as the Lord of Asses,” the veteran performer says, graying and sporting a pair of hipster glasses, “so I thought I’d switch it up. I’m going to start a series called ‘The King of Cootchies,’ so I can have sex with all the pretty girls who don’t take it in the ass.”

Can you just declare yourself King, Tom? If so, then you would take the throne in an assless coup.

But back to Charley Chase. (And we mean it when we say “back.”)

“That was a big load,” says Chase when the deed is done.

“I don’t know,” replies Byron. “The old man has his moments.”

I also take issue with the title. The women in this movie – Lexi Belle, Scarlett Fay, Chase, Mina Leigh, Brynn Tyler – are all so much more than their asses.

I guess everyone has at one point shouted “Oh shit” when having sex. But if I were the script supervisor on this film I would have suggested that Brynn Tyler not say “Oh shit” in a place called the House of Ass.


“It’s going to be great to fuck you,” says Byron to Scarlett Fay as she peers at him over his penis. How does he know? Is he, like, Nostradam-ass?

So we look forward to “The King of Cootchies,” just as long as there isn’t a parallel series called “House of Cootchies.”

    Lead image = great eye makeup.

    On shoots that have makeup artists, are there a few go-to professionals? Are they known for their artistry? Can Fleshbot do a serious article about this? Because though I hate LA (sorry.), I would love that job.

    PS– Gram, I miss your [vaguely meditative] writing.

    @Lux Alptraum: Meh. You’re right; ‘cute’ is really subjective. I’m just tired of uninspired pornwear.

    Rule number one: no matter how popular the look is, if you’re not into, it won’t be sexy on *you.*

    On the other hand, I am now obsessed with the finding out about porn set makeup artists. I may do my own research, write the article, and submit it to… um, ideas?

    I have the HoA installment with Sunny Lane and Isabel Ice. Scorching. Ending at #10 = good idea.

    Gram, as I understand these things, Tom Byron should be properly addressed as Sir Thomas Taliaferro, Lord Byron, of the House of Asses. It is entirely likely that he has other titles that should also be appended to these in really formal settings – Defender of the Faith, Protector of the Realm, King of Coochies, Duke of Whyte-upon-Black, King of the Orkney Islands, et cetera. It is possible, if his mother is of the lineage of the House of Coochie and his father is of the House of Ass, that he is a legitimate heir to both thrones and is, in fact, unifying the realms, as Henry VI was supposed to unify the thrones of France and England (as he was the only child of Henry V and Catherine of Valois). If, however, there are siblings (or, as seems more likely, illegitimate byblows) or some debate about the validity of his claim…well, that’s where the trouble starts.

    After “House of Ass” and “Lord of Asses”, we could keep this up and see how royal we can get! Maybe “Duke of Asses”? “Lord of the House of Ass”? That last one I would like to star in… I actually remember Tom commenting once in a thread at ADT.com that his Lord of Asses series didn’t always focus anal, just the general “she’s a nice piece of ass” kind of mentality… I, of course, am big fans of both!
