Wow! I was "blown away" meeting this lady in person Friday night, and would like to share my experience with the forum.

Of course, Tory was extremely sexy (as are most of the porn stars one meets on personal appearance tours), but what "really" impressed me was her radiant personality, and obvious intelligence.

This lady, in addition to having a great body, has a terrific business head on her shoulders, and, unlike many adult film stars, will "eat up" the industry, rather than be consumed by it.

In our rather lengthy visit, surrounded by an entourage of "gofers" hired by the video store where Tory was appearing, I was unable to "really" get to know one of my all-time favorite adult film stars, and I was "elated" when she invited me personally to join her at a nearby club, after the signing.

Unfortunately, when I got to the club, and stood by her table, where I received a huge hug from Tory, an overly-large, not in any way muscular, hired protector motioned to me and whispered that I should not "hang around," as he put it, addressing me like some pervert.

That, of course, dampened my enthusiasm, so I bade Tory a fond farewell and moved to another part of the club, ordered a drink and "simmered" in that "fight/flight mechanism we all experience, after some personal challenge.

Naturally, there was nothing I could do, although I thought about telling Tory of the video store employee's rudeness--after all, SHE invited me-- but since she would have another night of signing, a I thought better of it, and left.

Now, I realize that adult film stars in their personal appearance tours, "must" adhere to the dictates of the establishment which hired them, and that, the "hired gofer" must keep the little chick under his flabby wing, so to speak, but I was wondering, if any of you reading this has had any similar experiences, with an "over-zealous" hired porn star protector?

Personally, I've met literally hundreds of porn stars over the years, and visited personally with quite a few over drinks, and this is the very first time, such an INSULT has occurred.

Regardless of this unpleasantness, however the experience of meeting and visiting with Tory, a total class act in every way, was the highlight of my week---even if only over the watchful eye of security guards and an overly-zealot hired hand.

In fact, I would really enjoy going back to another Dallas chain store tomorrow night, (Saturday) where she is appearing, and visiting again with this graceful lady, but I don't know if I could control my adrenalin excess in a second encounter with Tory's video store "watchdog."

So, I will content myself with communicating, via email, with Tory, whose fiery on-camera sexuality is exceeded only by her total class and over-all intelligent wit.

And, of course, sincerely hope that she responds...

Aye carumba man!! Must I perform surgery at this bloody fuckin' hour? The goddam football games are on!

Dude, MANY girls ply their trade well. They thrive on fan loyalty to sell their product. Tory was a stripper prior to her current stint in porn, so I'm sure she knows how to play the game ~ if indeed that was her motive. In some cases, it's played so well that they gain a sense of loyalty from their fans. Wait...fuck, "gain"?...no, it oozes out of some guys like drool from man's best friend. Other than that, Tory is a pretty kick-ass, spontaneous chick, IMO. (MT, can I claim fanboy-ism for her?)

As for the wannabe bouncer, to some it's just a powertrip, dude. They have the pleasure of hulking over a gorgeous chick, and they are going to play Superman to all the frail creepy-looking dudes, but most won't say a word to the beefcake that could kick their ass (lol). Sorry to hear you got burnt by security for their own insecurities, but here's all the Tory Lane you'll ever need. :bananacream:

Don't fall for everything that everyone tells you, either. Another rule of thumb is not to be a leach, get your autograph, sit down & enjoy the show. I can understand some of them getting the "protect XXX from creepy stalkers" syndrome, as some patrons are downright scary...and it's their job. Most of the guys (often roadies from LA Direct) that I've met are pretty cool.

The important thing is, did you get a lap dance? (inside joke w/ MT)

Also, Tory is a bit slow with her email, so don't get fanboy frustrated when/if you don't hear back from her for 3-4 months.

Eric: Sorry you had to miss part of the FB game, to give "frail little me," a Meet The Stars 101 lecture.

fyi, I've met hundreds of Porn stars over the years, and until the other night, NEVER had any problem, with "mother hens," or in this case, an overly-fat rooster.

In fact, until the stealing, of, what I now call, "The Fright House," adult film stars feature danced in the Dallas area, almost weekly,

Thus, as previously noted, I have had the opportunity to visit with quite a few of these ladies, in private conversations, where I thoroughly enjoyed their company and had an opportunity to discuss with them, my "wannasees".

Since the 2000 political fiasco, however, strip club owners have been running scared of the ultra-conservative element running the city, and porn star appearances have been limited almost entirely to personal appearance autograph and photo-opts at local video stores--something I usually avoid, like a hovering mosquito.

In the case of Tory Lane, one of my all-time favorite adult film stars, however, I felt I had to make an exception, and over-all, am still happy that I did,

To follow-up, I am confused re the, "heh, old bait and switch," comment from another poster, who summoned Eric's lecture---just what was the bait, and where was the switch?

As for the question re my "getting a lap dance?," that sort of opportunity, does not present itself at Dallas adult video store signings and there are very few opportunities for one-on-one communication, since an entourage, sitting beside the lady, monitors every action and verbal exchange.

Well danl, you have a lot of experience meeting adult actresses & strippers, etc.

So you could not have been so naive to think that you were the only person Tori extended an invitation to (Could you?). She probably said the whole "meet me later at the club" bit to everybody that got close. Its just drumming up business.

Hey guys, why don't you give danl a break here!?

He doesn't post very often and he went out of his way to share with the board what he judged to be a nice encounter with a pornstar he likes. Let's not make him regret it, okay?

I've met Tory a couple of times and the reason why I summoned Eric was because I know he's met her many times including the strip club setting.

Tritone described the bait & switch well enough. What "really" were you expecting when she "personally" invited you to the club? Because it's obvious you got less than what you wanted.

Speaking of personal invitations, did she have your cover waived? Were your drinks comped on her account while you "simmered"? The one guarantee to "really get to know" (monopolise her time) a touring girl with her suitcase pimp's approval is buying her memorabilia and having her sign lots of stuff.

At least you got a hug out of it. More than the Georgia Satellites can say.

That's all nice & good, but I met "hundreds of pornstars" in a single week this past year. I even flew into Vegas last year on the same flight with Avy Scott. You see different sides of many of them, so just because you've met them, doesn't mean you know them or can read them. Some of them, believe or not, can be very manipulative.

We have Al's Diamond Cabaret where I live, it's one of the most reknowned titty bars in the Northeast, esp. in terms of porn performers that dance.

As for the "no-touch" rules, that's more the entire south and their shitty, too-good-for-porn, semi-biblical ways. It's common in Nashville, TN as well as god-only-knows how many other cities south of the Mason Dixon Line.

Bob, you ought to know how I feel about the fanboy syndrome (whether you give a damn is another question, ha). Many cases, IMO, it's one step shy of a stalker. Perhaps he's never gotten out enough to have someone slip the old "fake phone number" trick?...which is relative to his situation. I'm just trying to be real, some of these guys are potential stalkers because they read TOO MUCH into a signal, for instance, something that was said (an invite, etc.). Not saying danl is, but the girl for the most part is going to treat everyone the same unless she holds a bias for him / knows him after a few encounters. Some guys just don't get it, Tritone's comment holds merit. I've seen Tory four times this year, and quite honestly, I didn't come away feeling special at any one of them...and I don't expect to.

Who the fuck are the Georgia Satellites? BTW, I love that phrase "suitcase pimp", cracks me up every time.

Yeah, y'all are more eloquent with words than I am, MT.

DooohH, I even got a kiss on the cheek (I think, my memory sucks ass) from her during her appearance in Latham, NY a month ago. Did I take that as a signal that I was going to get laid? Nope...but I still would have liked to catch that damn lap dance. Maybe I should ask her to marry me in Vegas, eh? Nah, that'd probably go over like a lead fart in church, considering the last one, lol.

I've met Tory a couple of times. She's actually from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where I'm from also.
She's always been cool.

It sounds like you had an over-zealous security guard impeding your time with Tory. At least she was cool, and you got to spend a little time with her.

Tory kicks ass, I agree...my advice was just that he shouldn't think that every star who tells him to "join him in the Champagne Room" (figuratively) means that she's going to get a great lap dance.

Then again, maybe everyone in his "pornstar past" has, and he was disappointed when this one got away?

I appreciate your point of view, Eric. However, danl doesn't sound like a stalker to me. He may be a little naive, but since when was that a crime?

Thanx to some of you for your support, re my two posts.

I never thought of myself as a "stalker," either, but do admit to being aN AVID fan of Tory Lane's, and consider her to be one of the VERY BEST porn stars in the history of the adult film industry!

Since Tory told me she had recently started to direct, as well as would continue to perform, I ESPECIALLY wanted to discuss with her, my personal passion in porn, the smoking fetish, for, as a director, she would definitely be in position to integrate sexy cigarette smoking character scenes in her future productions, and screen roles.

As for SPECIAL favors from her, I didn't expect any, nor did she promise any-- only a glass of champagne, when I joined her later.

The fact that Tory went out of her way to inform me, as she was leaving the video store, they had decided to go to another club, instead of the one she previously mentioned, did give, "naive, frail little me," a bit of a "special" feeling, however.

That is why, when the fat, obviously inebriated Neanderthal, "challenged" my being there, I was caught off-guard a bit, and did not know HOW to respond, other than to move to another area of the club, and FUME!

Upon leaving, a few minutes later, however, I met Tory's photographer, arriving late, and yelled for him to tell Tory's "fat fu** body guard, I would wait outside ten minutes--he NEVER showed, something I REGRET, even now.


So, the Odyssey in Dallas, that night, I will try to forget, except, of course, MEETING TORY LANE!
