I bought it last weekend. The official title is XXX: 30 Porn-Star Portraits by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, if anyone else is interested in picking it up. Inside there are, as the cover says, 30 recent portraits of: Sunrise Adams (Vivid implants version)
Briana Banks
Belladonna (shaved head version)
Seymore Butts
Christy Canyon
Chloe
Nina Hartley
Chad Hunt
Heather Hunter
Jenna Jameson (anyone know who this chick is?)
Jesse Jane
Janine
Ron Jeremy
Jeremy Jordan and Jason Hawke
Kira Kener
Reina Leone
Michael Lucas
Gina Lynn
Ginger Lynn
Sean Michaels
Sharon Mitchell (I like her AIM shirt in her clothed pic)
Peter North
Tera Patrick (like Sunrise, the Vivid implanted version)
Mari Possa
Lukas Ridgeston
Tawny Roberts
Savanna Samson
Aiden Shaw
Lexington Steele
May Ling Su Since there are two portraits of each star (clothed and nude) that would actually make 60 portraits. The pictures are in the same exact pose, just one is fully clothed and the other is in the nude. It's an interesting juxtaposition seeing them like that because some look more comfortable naked (of course), some look completely different in their civilian clothes and completely unlike you'd expect them to look. It's very interesting. To break up the monotany of just seeing 60 straight photos, there are also essays and commentary included by the likes of: Gore Vidal (who handles the introduction)
Nancy Friday (an interview with Nina Hartley)
Nina Hartley
Richard Johnson
Lou Reed
John Malkovich
A.M. Homes
Francine Du Plessix Gray
John Waters (who interviews Chi Chi La Rue)
Wayne Koestenbaum
Adrian Nicole Leblanc
J T Leroy
Karen Finley
Whitley Strieber
Salman Rushdie
Faye Wattleton In the very back, each star photographed has a page dedicated to them where they are allowed to speak in their own words about their career, childhood upbringing, the business in general, how they feel about it or being in it, etc. and a list of their personal 10 favorite movies they've appeared in.

Question: is the name Fred Garvin taken from the old "Fred Garvin: Male Prostitute" skit on SNL played by Dan Aykroyd?[Link] |

Just got this book. i really like (except for its got men in it). I love how the photos are not take in a porn way- just one clothed and one nude- they are really beautiful. I especially like the Briana Banks, Cloe, Jenna, Jesse Jane, Ginger Lynn, Savanna Samson and Tawny Roberts ones.Has anyone got that book called "the valley". It has photos of the great houses used in porn [Link] |

I went to a book signing and discussion in Manhattan yesterday for this book. It was being promoted as "Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and Guests". I went figuring the guests would be a star or two from the book. How shocked was I when not only did 3 of the gay porn star guys arrive but Savanna Samson (who lives in NY so I figured it would be her) and HEATHER HUNTER!! I have NEVER seen Heather Hunter in person but have been a fan of hers forever. She spoke about how she has been retired from the porn industry for 10 years (it's been that long!?). She is as hot as ever AND was nice enough to pose for a picture with me when the signing was over. I am still on cloud 9. Brett [Link] |
