I haven't seen Del Shores but I LOVE 'Sordid Lives'. Definitely one of the funniest movies ever. I think Sissy with her elastic band was my favorite. The poor woman couldn't even complete a thought without being interrupted by something bizarre.

When I used to collect NSFW beefcake photos, I was always interested in seeing models who became movie stars/celebrities later on like Dennis Cole, Jack LaLanne, Joe Dallesandro, etc. If you come across any of those kinds of photos, I think that could make a great video!! Thanks!!

I've come across a few...mostly of Joe Dallesandro. Little Joe always got paid, though I'm nervous to repost many of his, as I hear he might have been technically underage when he took some of his earliest photos. Such a bad boy. Such a good guy though. I'll keep an eye out for the others. Ed Fury is a personal fave. Seemed like such a decent dude too.

Just out of curiosity, how could you have any responsibility assuming you obtained the pics legally?

No, I haven't seen any of his pics as far as I know. I also presumed that he presented as old enough that nobody really questioned his age. But I get your point. I was thinking from a perspective like:

If I buy a 50 year old porn mag, am I responsible for whether or not the models in the mag were of age when the pics were taken 50 years ago? No, I'm not.

I didn't take it any further than that though perhaps I should have.

It's always been a pet peeve of mine. People being held responsible for not having information they had no access to and people being held responsible for failing to control events they had nothing to do with and were miles away at the time.

Why yes, as a matter of fact I did grow up in a house where I was personally responsible for the price of tea in China. Why do you ask?

Oh I get it. I don't think if you buy a mag you'd face any problems, especially without knowledge. But I am in the position of potentially redistributing images I've heard might be "questionable." Chances are good I used them before I knew. I don't keep track like that. I make a video or two a day on average. No way I'm gonna remember.

As for tea, I was responsible for making the tea in my house...sweet, iced tea by the gallon. So much sugar I can't even drink it sweet anymore. lol

Agreed. I think it'd be ridiculous to ask you to remember anything like that. Yeah, maybe better to hold off in any pics in which he looks under thirty.

This actually makes the fourth time of heard of an underage person plotting, planning, fabricating docs, etc. with the deliberate intent to deceive their target into believing the person was of age.

But I'm old fashioned in my thinking. If you're old enough to die for your country, you're old enough to buy a beer. Completely off point, I had a Russian teacher in college who was a partisan in Lithuania blowing up bridges and laying mines while toting a machine gun. She and her cousin were 15.

I think redistributing CP, regardless of how it was obtained is still not legal (here anyway). My understanding is Joe presented himself as an adult (complete with fake ID when he was around 16 to photographers like Bob Mizer on a trip to LA). If you haven't seen the photos, he looks young, but not that young. His classic good looks have always been timeless.

Great - thanks!!

Collide is an excellent 2nd name as it expresses that you (and we) are on a collision course with life. We get knocked down and somehow get back up and move on...to the next collision and the next. It's a very hopeful and generous thing for you to have said what you have. I can surely relate!

Thanks, Clarke. I must admit Collide isn't my "real" name. But it was chosen with care. Wrote about it not that long ago, if you're curious: https://collidepress.substack.com/p/the-art-of-the-alias

As for this roller derby of life, it keeps rolling right round, baby, right round, like a record baby. Sometimes the record is full of scratches. Just like us. :-p

Oh, I gathered that. Thanks for the link, I'm reading with interest. Some of the best writers wrote under a nomme de plume (sp?). Um, Lewis Carroll anyone? (I learned to read through my oldest brother reading the "Alice" books to me over and over. Really irritated my primary school teachers.) Sometimes a record plays to the end and the needle is stuck on a circular track with static on repeat. Often one's circumstances feel a lot like that.

You made me Google! I’m sure one of it’s spellings includes some extra letters, but “nom de plume” is definitely a thing in the arts. Helps so many of us find our voices and play without everybody all up in our business. lol
