Twenty seven year old Haylie Hocking from Bristol works in a garage. Jason Blake, who is thirty years old, became a customer there and before long the couple had starting going out. Jason had told Haylie that he was a personal trainer which accounted for his weekends away while he was supposedly training his clients. The couple’s relationship progressed quickly and after six months they moved into together and two months after that, Jason proposed. The wedding was planned and a few days before the big day one of her friends discovered he was a (and I quote) a ‘pornstar’ and she called the celebrations off on the spot.

Fair enough, the silly bastard should’ve some clean (his defence was that he was “only acting” and that he would have given up his career if she’d asked, the twat) but what I object wholly to is the use of the term ‘pornstar.’

I get paid for working in a bloody office, does that make me an ‘officestar?’ is the bloke that works at my local Costcutter a ‘cornershopstar?’ It seems to me that if you’re prepared to fuck on camera you automatically get the title ‘pornstar,’ the word ‘star’ lends a certain degree of glamour to what is, let’s face it, a seedy exploitative industry. You could successfully argue that being in porn is the absolute antidote to being a ‘star’ as you’re reduced to the sum of your body parts at best, and at worst whatever your imagination will allow, and that could even involve poo, or Paris Hilton.

I had a pleasant night with IC and my two cousins, one of whom is a well-known photographer. Sadly, the latter is perpetually fighting his copyrights as the Internet allows his work to be distributed about the world willy-nilly for no fiscal gain. It’s a pretty sorry state of affairs and disheartening to hear as the unique methods he employed to make his name can be pretty much faked on Photoshop these days. I’d love to go into more detail but I can’t. Bugger. Anyway, it’s not fair.

After work and before I set off to the pub Swineshead, Napoleon and I successfully completed a podcast which will be on WWM (link right) shortly. It was rather fun at time but I’ve no idea of the results after editing, hey, why not find out yourselves…
