A Lot Can Happen in 24 Hours
So maybe I was at Chi Chi LaRue's until 7:00 am with the cast of Big Brother. It wasn't about to keep me from an acting gig.Rewind.
On Wednesday night, LaRue stopped by the Here Lounge event I host, Porn Star of the Week, bringing with her the cast of the television show Big Brother following their wrap party. A lot of other mainstream peeps were there throughout the night too (most notably gay celebs Lance Bass, Wilson Cruz and Marcellas Reynolds who I used to work with all the time as reporters on Q TV), but for Chi Chi it was all about Big Brother, a show she had watched religiously, making a vow that she would someday meet them all. And meet them, she did!
I, unfortunately, have never seen the show so I didn't have a clue who any of them were or what they were talking about. I was much more fascinated by Robbie Angel who showed up very unexpectedly. (Where the hell has he been?!) Less than five minutes after I met him, I said, "I like your jacket. Can I have it?" And he gave it to me. My new best friend. Immediately. We felt this instant brother or maybe brothers-kind-of-attracted-to-each-other connection and stayed by each other's sides all night long. Other pornsters there included Trevor Knight, Lex Sabre, Cort Donovan, Blake Riley, Roman Heart and of course Nick Capra who was the featured guest with the boys of his new site, NickCapra.com.
After Here closed shop, many of us bolted to LaRue's down the street where we hung out on her bed until the wee hours of morning. The drag directrix was seriously in seventh heaven, getting to ask them all the questions of what went down behind the scenes she'd been dying to ask all season long.
There are only a few who I talked to long enough to get an impression of.
Josh (seen in photo) is totally adorable and I guess was supposedly "the bitchy gay" on the show, but he didn't seem that way to me at all. He seemed, maybe, straight-forward at worst but not cunty by any means. I guess he also said something on the show about doing gay porn if he didn't win. He tells me he still hasn't ruled that out as an option and will be talking to Chi Chi about it. Especially since his boyfriend cheated on him while he was in the house. Poor thing. I felt awful for him because he seemed a little depressed. But I tell you what, if my boyfriend had cheated on me and I hadn't won a reality show, there's no better place to be than in bed partying with Chi Chi!
Sheila (also seen in photo) is out of control. Total mad woman. Crazy as hell. But in a fun-loving way, I suppose. I mean, she brought her 17 year old son along with her. Really, now. Need I say more?
Now... Crazy James. Yes, the Crazy James. The one who did online gay porn before Big Brother? The one with the mohawk and bright yellow hair that is now hot pink? The one who is "craaaaaazy" James? Yeah, guess what? Not so crazy. In fact, the most sane, sober, normal person at the party. The boy totally had his shit together. I was mad impressed. Total gentleman. Total sweetheart. Totally low key and chill compared to the rest of us that night. I could've died. Not at all what I was expecting. He was the only who I'd actually heard of, obviously. Leave it to the one who has done porn to actually be the most normal.
Chelsia stopped by later and I guess she had a thing with crazy James on the show and now they're really not sure what's happening or where it's headed. But I'll tell you what I do know: She told me privately she really cares for him a lot and still likes him. And he told me the same thing. So... now if they could just somehow tell each other. Maybe they'll read the blog. I exchanged email with James so I'll have to send this to him.
Anyway, I left Chi Chi's at 7:00 am and finally got to sleep at around 8:30 am -- only to be awakened less than 3 hours later to be told that I could have a small part (okay, really small part -- whatever bitch it's called a cameo, they paid me!) in an indie movie called Dog Tags if I could make it to the set in an hour. I ducked under a cold shower, threw on some makeup to look presentable and viola, there I was shooting a movie that already has a distribution deal through TLA.
I actually got the gig through the star of the movie, Willam Belli, who has done a lot of work as an actor but is probably most known for his multi-episode arc as Cherry Peck on the television show, Nip/Tuck. I can't say enough good things about this guy. Besides being talented, he's so fucking smart, he should really write his own material because his tongue is sharp and witty as hell -- and yet not in a mean way, which is very rare, especially in the gays! He's also incredibly sexy both as a man and a woman in a really understated way; one of those "confident" sexy people who don't even have to move because it's all in the eyes, you know the type? I could go on about him forever. I feel a kind of "brother" thing with him too actually and really hope to become great friends because it's rare I enjoy conversation that much with someone. In fact, I would ask him if he wants to hang out, but I'm afraid he's going to ask me to go to a club or something and I'm so much more of a dinner or movie or theater or board games or hang out in bed and eat junk food and watch TV kind of person. I really don't like going to clubs and bars on my time off because, let's face it, I work at them several nights a week.
Anyway, it was "a wrap on Mr. Sechrest" at exactly 6:00 pm, which meant I had 30 minutes to get to MJ's Bar to host the happy hour show, Porn Star Alley, from 6:30 - 9:00 with guest Cort Donovan. After which, I came home and crashed, sleeping for 14 hours straight.
Tonight I'm singing at The Other Side with pianist James Lent from 9:00 pm - 1:00 am.

Sounds like you had an awesome evening Jason. Sorry you only got 3 hours sleep, but when you get a break, you don't say no! I recently got an offer to get one of my photos published by a local out reach group. One of my co-workers asked, "are you getting paid for it?" I said I don't care, having a published photo is more valuable to m than the money. That's a published pic I can put in my portfolio, that's big! So I'm glad you got the part, no matter how small it was. I'll watch TLA's web sit for Dog Tags to come out! By the way loved Bill & Stace part 2, and watching for more!!
Jimmy - I can't blame you! Robbie is a little hottie. xo L, J.
7:51 - Yeah. He and I should totally do a movie together. xo L, J.
DJ - It was a blast! xo L, J.
Willam - Trammies from the tranny! lol xo L, J.
Nate - Congrats on getting your photo published! That is so cool! Yeah, it can't be about the money or all passion and art gets immediately drained out of it. xo L, J.
