Hot Time At The Tera Show
Nobody turned the A/C on at the Tera Show until the show had been running for an hour. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
The sliver-on-black couch was at an oblique angle and the hostess was being interviewed by Canadian television a few minutes before the show started this week. The mainstream crew was using a camera on a tripod that looked like a locomotive compared to the sleek little cameras used on adult shoots.
The interview over, Tera sits on the couch, asking "Are my knees okay?" They look okay, not bruised or anything. Zana walks in in a short leopard-print slip dress. Tera admires it, and Zana asks "Do you want to trade?" Tera says yes, but Joone is counting down so there's no time. "We should recycle porn clothes," Tera says as Joone starts the show.
Tina Tyler comes in, sits down. We smile at each other. This is the second time we've seen each other in less than a week. We usually go months between encounters.
Tera starts the show by plugging Digital Playground's latest Virtual Sex DVD, Virtual Sex with Janine, and points out that the trailer for the latest Nic Andrews opus, Rush, can be downloaded from the Digital Playground Website. On the 27th Tera will be signing at a distributor's open house in San Francisco, and the next Tera Show will be on the 24th with Bridgette and Skeeter Kerkove, Aurora Snow and Flick Shagwell. The trivia question is asked — What was Joel Lawrence's character name in The Gate? — and Tina Tyler is introduced at 7:02:03.
"Chloe said good things about you," Tera says, to which Tyler responds "She knows too many of my secrets."
Tyler started in adult at 19, and "did the stripper-magazine-porn progression. It's such a cliché," she shrugs. She describes herself as "a flaming heterosexual — not that there's anything wrong with that." Her first performance was a loop that was only put out in Germany with Jake Steed and Sean Michaels. "Fisting was involved and I can't find it for love or money."
The size of Tyler's co-stars is discussed. Tera says "I'm afraid of small penises" and Tyler reassures her, saying "They're a lot less intimidating than you'd think."
Tyler has been in 250 to 300 videos over the past 10 years, a majority for VCA. Her latest is a non-sex role in The Ozporns. "You're the best actress in adult," Tera tells Tyler. "Tell AVN that," she ripostes, looking right at me.
"What are your plans for the future?" Tera asks. Tyler says that she retired from sex performing eight months ago and is focusing on non-sex roles and directing. Her last sex performance was in Michael Ninn's Perfect. She's also been in "a lot of straight-to-Skinemax stuff. Stars Richard Grieco and Angie Everhart," and appeared at 16 in the Bob Fosse-directed Star 80.
Tyler is traded out at 7:25:01 for Zana, who walks in as Tera says "I want that dress." They sit down and Tera reads an e-mail: "Get naked."
"Okay," she says casually, and stands up and doffs the dress. Zana does the same. As they sit, Zana observes "They look fine on the floor."
After saying "I'd rather be naked than wear clothing" and getting applauded, Zana tells of a 40-horsepower tool that a friend adapted as a power dildo. "I can't use it," she says. "Somebody has to use it on me."
Zana says that she does d.p.s, and Tera asks her what that's like. "Have you done it?" Zana asks. "In my private life, yes. But I don't remember it."
Zana talks about the mechanics of doing a double-anal, then says "if I could get a guy in my pussy at the same time..."
"There should be more new guys in the industry," Tera says. Tyler taps me on the shoulder, whispers "Get in there!" I tell her "I'm gonna go out and lose 20 pounds. I'll be right back."
An e-mail is read. "How do I get in the business?" Do your research, Tera tells him. "The adult business is a big playground. Find a place. But first, get a camcorder and a bunch of friends and if you can fuck in front of them, then you can do this."
Zana says that she got into porn because she scared "civilians." She tells of trying to arrange a gangbang and getting "a 95-year-old guy, and one who slammed down his beer and said 'Call me Mad Dog.' I said call yourself a cab." She's been in over 100 videos and her first was New Girls In Town for Wicked.
Zana is traded out at 7:52:38 for Kaylynn, who walks out fully dressed. Tera undresses her before she sits down. Kaylynn just shot a video with Robby D. She doesn't know the title and "I played a junkie, I think. I looked like shit."
"You're like the Loch Ness Monster," Kaylynn tells Tera. "Nobody ever sees you."
At 8:10 the air conditioning is finally turned on, to the relief of most of the audience and the talent sitting on the couch in the light.
Kaylynn says that she likes working with Alana Evans ("She's real") and the subject of dirty talking during sex comes up. Tera says she'd like being called dirty names and Kaylynn says "Fuckin'bitchwhoreslut something like that?"
"Not like that, all fast," Tera protests.
Tera reads an e-mail "I want to know where you're from." She looks at Kaylynn: "What planet are you from?"
"Uranus," Kaylynn grins, with the long-a pronunciation. Then she gets serious, detailing where she has lived across the country and concluding with "I came out here when I was 15, which was two years ago."
She recently worked with Dave Cummings. Tera asks how old he is and Kaylynn says "He told me he was 35." She says she likes guys with grey hair. Tyler taps my shoulder again. I ignore her.
Kaylynn's first video was a Dirty Debutantes. "He scammed me!" she says. "I did two scenes. First I get there and Jake Steed is there. His penis is this big. First it was Jake, and then Ed. As if I'm supposed to feel anything."
"Have you met Lexington Steele?" Tera asks. "I've blown him," Kaylynn replies. "I've also worked with Jack Napier."
"How do you suck a 14-inch cock?" Tera asks.
"Very carefully," Tyler murmurs behind me.
In answer to an e-mail, Kaylynn says she's Puerto Rican and French, and some of her family knows what she does. She jokes that she bribes them so they don't tell the rest of the family.
Tera hands Kaylynn an e-mail. "Is this for me?" she asks.
"It's for all of us," Tera says.
"Then we should share it," Kaylynn says, and rips it in half, handing one half to Tera.
Virgin Vixen Taylor Ann enters at 8:20:10. Tera gets up and kicks over her water cup on the e-mails. They dig around on the couch to find the Virgin Vixen questions, but they can't and they improvise. She's been in three videos so far, a b.j. with Peter North ("He was large and in charge") a g/g with her best friend, and a g/g/b. She hasn't done magazine work ("I'd like to") and before this she worked at Nordstrom. "Me too," Tera says.
"I worked in hardware stores," Kaylynn says. "Osh, Home Depot. Nothing ever goes with an orange smock."
Taylor is from San Diego, and she's 26. She got in the business because "I wanted to brush up, get some experience. What better way to learn?"
The entire group is called to the couch at 8:29 for final goodbyes, and the show signs off at 8:34:35 with a flurry of Website plugs as Tera observes "I've plugged everything I need to plug," then grins at Kaylynn, "except maybe you."
