Doing The Pornographer's Daughter
Luminous blonde Liberty Bradford Mitchell is the actual flesh-and-blood offspring of Artie Mitchell, the deceased-by-his-sibling's-rifle half of pioneering porn filmmakers, The Mitchell Brothers. Now in her (robustly youthful) 40s, Liberty recently mounted a one-woman show, The Pornographer's Daughter, that ran to packed houses in the Mitchell's home turf of San Francisco.

Accompanied on-stage by house band The Fluffers, Liberty takes audiences on a multimedia tour of her decidedly countercultural childhood and reveals from a perspective that only she can have what it was like to experience the revolutionary innovations of the Mitchell Brothers creating their all-time XXX classic Behind the Green Door and the establishing the still-thriving O'Farrell Street Theater.

Artie Mitchell's story ended tragically when he was shot to death in 1991, but Liberty's has continued on into the triumph of this show. Here's pulling for The Pornographer's Daughter to take its act on the road—now!

Jill Monro, first post-op transsexual porn star
Yes, more Rialto Report. Hop in and get off on this in-depth celebration and revelation of Jill Monro, mainstream porn's first male-to-female post-op transsexual superstar.

Although Sulka scored XXX fame for keeping her penis, Jill exploded as a straight up smut goddess who starred in a number of early '80s big-screen classics and became the face (and other, more intimate organs) of Cheri magazine. Tragically, Jill died from a drug overdose in 1982.

The RR piece centers on a long, fascinating Q&A with David Rice who was Jill's romantic partner off-screen and who occasionally performed with her in the dirty pictures as Jack Monro.

As both a window back into X-rated New York's most gloriously glamorous era and a simple human saga, the article is a must read. Go do it. Now.

Richard Pacheco: Schlong Scribe
Another vintage XXX star of legendary loins status, another must-get memoir. The great Richard Pacheco has penned a terrific look back on his long, loud life in adult entertainment titled Hindsight: True Love and Mischief in the Golden Age of Porn.

The star of classics on the order of Randy the Electric Lady (1980), Bad Girls (1981), and Talk Dirty to Me (1982), the supremely personable Pacheco writes about his life, his loves, and what it was like to bang on camera with the superhuman sexbomb likes of
Marilyn Chambers, Kay Parker, Seka, Annette Haven, Georgina Spelvin, and many more. It's a great book. Weirdest and maybe even coolest of all: there's a foreward written by Whoopi Goldberg.
