Porn Star Goes POP!
Last night I watched Naked Fame (or at least half of it before falling asleep) - the documentary about gay porn star Colton Ford's quest for legitimacy in the music industry. When I left off he wasn't having much luck ... and it's understandble. A 40 year old gay porn star trying to be a smash dance music sensation? You only ever heard small clips of his song so I can't say if it was good or not, but I do admire his hootspah (is that the right spelling?) and courage for chasing his dream cuz I know firsthand how difficult that is when the odds are against U.
ANYHOO, the point of this post isn't really about Colton Ford but his fucking unbelievably hot and DELICIOUS boyfriend porn star Blake Harper. (YES, Tori, he makes my list, too!) At one point someone asked Blake about the money in porn. Now, I'm not into gay porn, stop laughing!, I really don't watch porn unless it's playing in a bar or on the rare occasion I need a helping hand. Anyhoo, I don't know much about gay porn or its stars, but I DO know Blake Harper! He's one of gay porn's biggest names. He said that in his best year doing gay porn he only made around $30,000. Yes, that US money honey! My jaw hit the floor. WTF?? Thirty grand? In his BEST year? He had to be lying, right? He had to be exaggerating. It can't be that bad. If that's the best money you can make in that industry, why would ANYONE do it? Here it is I thought he was gonna say his best year was like $150,000 or something. Boy, was I way off.
So, there goes another myth shattered. $30,000 in L.A. is like minimum wage or something, right? That's really all gay porn stars make? I can't believe it. I'll have 2 go back and watch that part again at some point just to make sure I heard him right.
Just as a point of reference, I talked to a full time working actor yesterday who pulls in about $30,000 a year doing extra work. And that's in the Baltimore region, folks.
Again, I realize sex just isn't all it's cracked up 2 B!
