I met the guy - he tried to get me to bid on an apartment through an open-outcry auction, at the height of the boom.

I rented instead.

There's a dirty limerick somewhere in "open-outcry auction, at the height of the boom,"

Very few people can share his success in both worlds. He must be a smart guy who was able to pull it off in a very conservative country (USA). he must be charming and an excellent sales person. I would bet my money on this guy.

He is charming, but that porn star gig was no fluke.

Question: Is everyone who does porn a "star?" I mean, people always seem to label someone a "porn STAR" regardless of whether the "actor" was in one scene on one DVD or was in 500 films, on home pages of websites, and won awards at whatever the adult enterntainment Oscars are called. Those with more knowledge in this area are free to weigh in, but I would think someone could be bad at porn and not worthy of the "star" designation. Was the guy being discussed here really a star? Was he that good at it? Did he have a specialty--that is, as Tessie Turra and Mazeppa and Electra might say, a "gimmick"?

He could hold out for hours -- just by thinking about Long Island City.

Question: Is everyone who does porn a "star?"

Answer: No, but he was featured on the cover of each and every DVD he was in, and was always #1 or #2 billed.

And after he "quite" he kept hounding my best friend and his then-boyfriend to have a four way with him and his then boyfriend. Like, drunken and beligently and non-stoppedly. You know, after he cleaned up his act. Not a fan, in case you can't tell.

A friend just suggested that they are all 'stars' because there are not supporting actors in the scenes. Each scene only has stars so to speak. Perhaps. But to be a real star, I do think you gotta have a gimmick.

Do you watch Selling NY? It is great. Just awesome TV. Cringe worthy and RE porn all at once. No one comes close to the idiotic blather and oily smooth-operator attitude of the CORE people on the show.

If you have watched it, try it. Its delicious. That show with the CA brokers is even more tragic and fun, but Selling NY is pretty darn close.

Jason -- so a hot pornstar with presumably hot partner wants to do a fourway with another couple and you find that offputting?

In the straight world we call that a fantasy come true.

I found it offputting mainly because they kept asking and my friend kept saying no and his boyfirend kept wanting to fight him because he kept asking and being told no and I kept having to physically hold my friend's boyfriend back.

He's actually a good guy... so what if he has a past... good for him for making something out of himself.

This is now old news but now do we really need to hear Jason10006 bragging about his and his boyfriend's sexual desireability and exclusivity?

What this comes down to is stiff competition...
Who really measures up?
I've heard of exaggerated measurements when it comes to square footage but what about linier measures?
Puts a whole new no, no, hole new spin on closing the deal!
When you say your broker is a dick...is that now a compliment?

Right falco!
Examine this from top to bottom.
There are loads of issues involved.
Concerns about studs.
Really it's a lot to swallow.
Brokers will be creamed by the time this is over.
