Somewhere out there, a journalist is crying. She probably suffered through years and years of media law, communications theory, belligerent editors, a seemingly endless series of obits, the most mind-numbingly boring local beats — all in the hopes that she’d get a column one day. Has she a column? Nah, but our favorite porn doll just landed one.

Not to be alarmist, but the face of porn may be about to change forever. Four Los Angeles council members are backing a motion that ultimately seeks the denial of permits to any porn company that doesn’t practice safe sex. Permits, if the motion succeeds, will contain safety requirements for “shields” to prevent “contact with potentially infectious material,” i.e., condoms, dental dams, face shields, goggles, etc.
Things have been heated between the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation (AIM) and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) since 24-year-old porn performer Derrick Burts tested positive for HIV in October. Among questions of whether monthly tests are sufficient to protect performers, AIM faces claims that it did not respond to the positive result in a timely fashion and that it denied Burts appropriate services.
Rose mentioned she had a Star Wars collection of ornaments once, but she’s been forced to start fresh — we can only wonder how she lost it. What we do know is that she lost the works of Spike Jonze, Chris Cunningham, and Michel Gondry during a custody battle with an ex-boyfriend — who also made off with her dog! The nerve. We hope it’s the same guy she decked at the AVNs last year.
We’re not sure why we’re so surprised over the home-making wares in porn dolls’ wishlists. Is it that we don’t think they have a need for them because we have enshrined them above any humanity (or dehumanized them to the point where they cease to exist once they step off the set)? We don’t think so. We’ve actually never seen a wishlist with dinner wear in it. A registry, yes. But a holiday wishlist? Never. There is something really charming in encountering items with a purpose on what should be a display of total self-indulgence.
Wishlists are interesting in that they can tell us a lot about a person. Zoe Voss wears an extra small — that we knew from watching her flicks. What we didn’t know is she wears an eight in shoes, her ring size is 6, she has a Kindle and reads, she subscribes to a variety of rags ranging from the banal (Cosmo) to the thought-provoking (Vanity Fair), she likes movies in the theater, she is either a gamer or she is interested in becoming one, and she cooks — or plans to learn how to make pasta.
