Please continue scrolling my blog to find out what Measure B is REALLY about…
From the Free Speech Coalition’s blog:
Here’s an infographic we would love for you to share with friends and anyone that you know will be voting in L.A. County on Nov 6. Simply put, these are the facts about Measure B, L.A.’s Condom Ballot Measure.
An L.A. County budget adviser this week just recommended 200 more layoffs for the County, mostly personnel from the City Attorney’s Office and LAPD.
Clearly, AHF does not care about Los Angeles taxpayers if they think putting condoms on adult performers is an most important “threat” to public safety in Los Angeles. The No to Measure B Committee asks you to put police, victims of crime and the citizens of Los Angeles first – ahead of Measure B, which will only waste desperately needed funding and resources.
For more information on the opposition to Measure B, please visit the website, where you can view videos voluntarily created by adult industry performers who are directly threatened by Measure B’s potential repercussions. And, if you feel strongly against government overreach, unnecessary regulations, wasting tax dollars and misguided legislation, please DONATE – even $5 can help – Please, help us in our effort and VOTE NO on Measure B!

Also continue to my next blog entry for more information on Measure B….
I get a lot of questions on Twitter and Facebook about Measure B…since it would take forever to answer each person one by one (on Twitter in 140 characters or less!) here is a short list of the many articles, links and videos about Measure B. Including the endorsements by the Los Angeles Times and The Daily News. Please read/watch them to get a better understanding about what Measure B is and why you should vote #NoToMeasureB. It’s not just about condom use. It’s way bigger than that.

No on Measure B – LA Times Endorses ‘No on Measure B’
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/editorials/la-ed-end-measure-b-20121018,0,1623510.story
“And if they [the adult industry] flee — should we care? Porn is, after all, porn, and even though it has become more accepted in mainstream culture in recent decades and is occasionally considered hip where it was once widely dismissed as smut, it will never be universally embraced….”states The Los Angeles Times, “Yet we should care, not necessarily because porn should be embraced but rather because it is an integral part of the entertainment industry that represents many jobs and a large part of the Southern California economy. Even if there are only a few hundred on-camera performers, porn is estimated to be a $1-billion to $2-billion industry, employing thousands of sound, lighting, stage, technical and other crew members and post-production workers in between gigs in more-mainstream film and television productions.”
“Measure B is well intentioned, but it is likely to stymie county government and bring little benefit to performers. The Times recommends a no vote.”

Daily News: Endorsement: No on B — Measure to force condoms in porn films is redundant and could harm an important local industry
http://www.dailynews.com/opinions/ci_21795793/endorsement-no-b-measure-force-condoms-porn-films
“The real question is whether the threat of disease posed by the porn industry is serious enough to warrant the effort and expense called for by Measure B. The newspaper’s editorial board does not believe the proponents of the so-called Safer Sex in the Adult Film Industry Act have proven that case. We urge a “no” vote on Nov. 6.”

Measure B Would Affect Only 280 Adult Performers in Los Angeles County in Colossal Waste of Taxpayer Dollars, According to the No on Government Waste Committee:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/measure-b-affect-only-280-175745485.html
My favorite quote from the article above: “It’s mindboggling to think we are subjecting the voters of LA County to this ballot fight over 280 performers who are already subject to one of the most stringent sexually transmitted disease testing programs in the world,” said James Lee, communications director for the No on Government Waste Committee. “When you couple that with the over $4 million already spent by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation in supporting this measure, you have to wonder what kind of porn obsession Michael Weinstein has and what it is taking away from the real threats of HIV.”

On Nov 6, 2012, LA county will vote on Measure B, which would force all adult performers to wear condoms regardless of the fact that the industry already mandates the most stringent medical protocol for testing and protecting the industry workers/performers. Additionally, public health officials would be required to visit and oversee every adult production in the county, resulting in an excessive waste of taxpayer money and county resources.

Be informed. Know the facts. You may think this is only affects the adult industry but that is NOT true.

This past weekend The Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas threw a huge party celebrating their 4th Anniversary, SlutWalk and the launch of a very special new exhibit: The Star Wars XXX Landspeeder!
For those of you who may or may not know, my husband/partner in crime and myself built the Star Wars XXX Landspeeder. Yes, that’s what I said, we built it. In fact, we (with the help of our killer crew) built all the sets for Vivid’s Star Wars XXX. Please feel free to search this blog for many more entries that include tons of photos, info and behind-the-scenes clips…
Andy and I attended the festivities this weekend, and here are few photos:

(Aug 18, 2012) This past April saw the beginning of a new radio show for me on Sirius/XM 103… ‘Let’s Try Anything’ with my dear friend Raylene… over the summer we have honed this weekly radio show into something entertaining, funny and even informative. Each week we discuss a new topic, different ways to try ‘something new’…we have discussed fetishes, swinging, anal, fisting, squirting, masturbation, sex toys…the list goes on and on…we tell tales from on set, dirty memories from our movies and camshows, naughty stories from our personal sex lives…take a peek into the lives of two legendary porn stars…
Every Thursday, from 7-9pm PST, the sexual mayhem continues. Unfortunately, some people rarely get to listen due to work or family time or significant others…but this is no longer and issue! At long last our shows are available ‘ON DEMAND’…yes, if you are a Sirius or XM subscriber you can now listen to our radio show whenever you want! How awesome is THAT? When you are signed into Sirius/XM all you have to do is type ‘On Demand Let’s Try Anything’ in the search box and you will have access to our past 4 most recent radio shows…
If you don’t have Sirius/XM you can listen for one week for absolutely free – no credit card needed – by going here: www.sirius.com/freetrial…

*If you call thinking you will get free phone sex, you will be mocked.*
This afternoon I tweeted the following thoughts on the current condom/testing issues at hand with the adult industry right now. A Twitter follower named @xXEnthusiast was kind enough to give his two cents. Whilst I don’t really care what “fucktards” think or say, it never hurts to tell it like it is and maybe dispell a few myths along the way… and I wanted to reply in a more civilized fashion that didn’t require 140 characters or less.
Let me say, this isn’t about some idiot getting under my skin, this is me using his retardedness to say some shit that needs to be said, in my opinion.
My first tweet:
@kylieireland: Most HIV cases on record were ppl trying to break INTO the biz, not ppl IN the biz. Stopped them be4 they got in. PROVES our system WORKS.
His reply (via Twitlonger):
@XxEnthusiast If people “breaking in” introduced HIV to the industry, the system clearly doesn’t work. Not to mention gonzo sets, unsanitary conditions, the increasing rate of STI and the astonishing statistic that over half of performers have some form of herpes whether oral or genital. Hence the need for mandatory condoms in porn, regardless of the fantasy. I know this because i used to audit adult clinics for the state.
Let’s break this down, shall we?
“If people “breaking in” introduced HIV to the industry, the system clearly doesn’t work.”
Is that what I said? No. Read it again. I said people TRYING to break in, who then were required to get a mandatory test to work in the industry. On the occasion people have attempted to get into the adult business with HIV (a fact they probably weren’t aware of), it was detected ahead of time and that person was stopped before performing. Testing protected those in the industry and prevented the spread of HIV. Therefore: the system WORKS.
“Not to mention gonzo sets…”
I have performed on HUNDREDS of ‘gonzo’ sets and have DIRECTED over 50 gonzo titles. All talent I worked with/hired always had the required PCR/DNA HIV STD tests, good within the mandatory 30 day time. If they didn’t, I wouldn’t work with them (as a performer), nor would I allow them to perform on my set (as a director). Even if I had worked with them before or if they were a friend.
“…unsanitary conditions…”
You mean, like my home? I lived in a 10K sq ft loft in downtown for nearly 10 years that we lived in and shot hundreds of movies in. We also rented it out as a location to adult productions and mainstream.
“…the increasing rate of STI…”
First of all, every case of STDs reported, is a case of STDs being stopped and treated. Hmmm, that might be the system working again, wouldn’t it? When someone comes up positive for an STD in adult, it is common practice to let the past few people you worked with know so they can get tested as well. That is not a requirement, that is done because we care about our fellow performers.
I don’t believe it is any worse in current years than than in past, perhaps the numbers seem higher due to the fact that there are so many more performers in the adult industry now than say, 10 years ago? Odd that no one ever mentions THAT in their statistics, do they?
“…astonishing statistic that over half of performers have some form of herpes whether oral or genital…”
Without seeing these “astonishing statistics” I can’t have an opinion on this. Although I would like to see those same statistics on the general public and see how ASTONISING those might be. But, oh, that’s right; the general public isn’t tested, now are they? Not that statistics can’t be reported cleverly to benefit the party presenting them…
“Hence the need for mandatory condoms in porn…”
What, do we need a fucking babysitter? And mandatory condoms are going to protect us from all this evil? Then by all means, shut down all the testing systems and go condoms only. For your information the business has gone through periods of condom-only shooting and survived just fine. Listen, we all know this bullshit is going on in an effort to make it look like the government, the state, the city, whatever…actually appear like they CARE, but they don’t, and you don’t. The bottom line here is that adult performers are well aware of the risks of what they do, which is why we adhere to our mandatory system of ridged testing. Companies, performers, directors all care about themselves enough to take precautions to the extent we feel necessary.
Being an adult performer is much like being a race car driver. They know the risks, yet they go out on that track every race and use as much precaution as they can. At any moment, the steering or brakes could fail, or another car could slam into them…but this is a risk the driver is aware of, and a chance he is willing to take. For your entertainment.
“I know this because i used to audit adult clinics for the state.”
Well, then. That certainly makes YOU an expert on our business doesn’t it??? You see us as numbers, not people. And the copious amount of time YOU spend on adult movie sets certainly makes YOU an expert doesn’t it? It’s like watching a documentary on snakes and considering yourself an expert snake handler.
My second tweet:
@kylieireland: Lest we 4get, WITHOUT industry testing, cases of STD/HIV would go unnoticed & spread. Test/quarantine/cure. Testing PROVES our system WORKS
@XxEnthusiast The testings are irregular, and not every producer holds them to standard. Dealing with your AAA studios sure, but they only make up a minority of the adult industry now.
And again, let’s break it down…
“The testings are irregular…”
Every 30 days is irregular? And now Manwin (Brazzers, Digital Playground, etc) is requiring performers to be tested ever 2-3 weeks. They even offer to pay for tests.
I got into the adult industry in March of 1994. Ever since I have been in this industry, testing has been required every 30 days. Even before Sharon Mitchell formed AIM Healthcare (which you people hammered into the ground with bullshit ‘legal’ proceedings until they were forced into bankruptcy – a fabulous example of how you really do care about the adult industry, by taking away our trusted testing system – yeah, thanks for that) …where was I? Oh yes, even before AIM Healthcare was formed, the industry required mandatory 30 day testing. I can show you a monthly test for nearly 20 years. (Yes, I have a file with them.)
“…and not every producer holds them to standard…”
And you know this…how? Whilst I am sure there are a few that might not be as ridged about their paperwork, there are a few bad eggs in ANY industry. Just as there are people that were sexually abused children to be found in ANY business (another common misconception about adult film performers, that we were all abused as children) and just as you would find drug addicts and alcoholics in ANY industry. But it’s more fun to point fingers at porn stars isn’t it?
And, I would like to point out, that if there are producers that “don’t hold the testing to standard”, it is also up to the performer(s) to care enough about themselves to say NO. No one is forced to work with anyone or do anything they don’t want to.
“Dealing with your AAA studios sure, but they only make up a minority of the adult industry now.”
Do they? Can you back that information up? Sure, there are the powerhouses like Wicked, Vivid, Hustler and Evil Angel etc but what smaller company who is trying to make it is going to risk their company in such a competitive and shrinking market? Do you think performers don’t talk about sets they have been on to each other? That agents aren’t knowledgeable about good companies vs. bad ones? Are you aware of the fact that without proper paperwork/2257s you can’t sell your product to cable, VOD, foreign markets or even post it on the internet? I didn’t think so.
I challenge you to go out to a bar, event, or even go online looking for a date or even a random sexual encounter…is THAT person going to have a current PCR-DNA HIV test and a full panel of STDs? Most likely not. In fact I would bet my bottom dollar that your precious statistics would prove quite the opposite. I would also be willing to bet that the statistics on HIV and STDs would be higher due to lack of public testing. And don’t even try to preach to me about the public using condoms… even if you had a statistic for that you have no proof at all whatsoever the individuals polled didn’t lie…
Clearly you (and many others) think we adult performers are all a bunch disease riddled degenerates wallowing around blissfully in a cesspool of drugs, abuse and other assorted slime. Clearly you think adult performers, (and for that matter ANYONE who works within the adult industry) are vapid individuals, driven by lust and greed, not able to think for ourselves, or care about the health and safety of others, let alone our own health and safety. Therefore we need you to regulate it for us! Praise be! We have been saved!
*facepalm*
Let me ask you this: are we hurting anyone? Are we spreading some imaginary disease to the masses? Are we breaking any major laws? Does our life affect YOU at all? No. And, yes I am including you in this, dear @xXEnthusiast, because you are part of this group of people who is too busy trying to appear morally superior, poking their noses into a place where they don’t belong, a place that doesn’t affect or concern you and trying to set up a plan to “save” the adult industry… which will in effect, put it out of business. Putting thousands and thousands of people out of work, companies out of business and remove an industry that legally feeds the economy. But that IS the goal right? Putting us out of business? Not that you will of course, in reality you will just force the adult industry to go underground, where you can’t regulate it, where you can’t tap it for your precious skewed statistics and, in effect make it unsafe. Good job. Pat yourself on the back.
The past couple weeks I have been posting some Kylie Collectables and other goodies on www.GingerLynnAuctions.com… the response has been great! Therefore I have just posted a whole slew of new auctions, just for you…
Click here for Kylie’s Kick-ass Auctions!
Click here for Kylie’s Kick-ass Auctions!
Many of the items I put up for auction are one-of-kind items, like the sexy stockings I wore in my scene with Tom Byron in Seasoned Players 4, or my cum-soaked panties from my camshow the night before. I have sexy stripper heels I’ve worn in movies and on stage, the knee-high patent boots from Never Say Never and Never Say Never Again (1994), the sheer teal green lingerie from 1995’s The Passion and the topless latex dress I wore in The Story of O… all these items come with the movie I wore them in (if available) and/or photos of me wearing them.
I have an action figure, the company that made it is no longer in business, therefore they are pretty hard to find…they go for $80-$120 on eBay…I am starting the bidding on mine at $25…you might get lucky and get a stellar deal. And I only have a few left.
Wanna be the cool kid on the block? Then pick up all three of my trading cards! None of them are in print anymore and I have a few left…
You will find movies of mine, many of then not even available on DVD anymore, like Hayseed, In the Flesh, Babewatch… movies I have directed and movies I have starred in. Sometimes, if I have the actual photo stills from the movie I will make a package deal with movies and photos!
Click here for Kylie’s Kick-ass Auctions!
I have a limited number of ‘movie slicks’ and signing flyers from over the years, used as advertisements in stores and a appearances and conventions, these flyers were usually thrown away and I guarantee that in most cases I am the only one who has them available! I have a small handful of slicks from some of my very first boxcovers like Nightcrawlers, Never Say Never, Initiation of Kylie and Seymore and Shane do Ireland…and I am sharing them with you!
I happen to have a few magazines left from back in the day; Oui, Leg Scene, Busty Beauties, Dirty and Sexpose Magazine (the infamous one where I tell the true story of my evening with Michael Jordan). I have a few posters from various movies over the years like Wicked’s One Sleepless Night and Face Jam. And of course I have 8×10’s…as a blonde, as a redhead, clothed, nude, even a few black and white.
All autographed personally to you.
While this sounds like a lot of options, and it is, I only have a couple each of movie slicks, DVDs, posters…and when those few are gone…they are gone for good.
That being said, don’t delay. Get your hands on some really cool Kylie collectables now…before it’s too late.
