Photos and text by Rick Garcia

“J. Star Motors http://www.jstarmotor.com/) an exotic car dealership in Anaheim Hills became an “erotic” dealership with the arrival of Nikki Benz http://nikkibenz.com/). Although not in the best of spirits, due to an unfortunate auto collision with an uninsured driver, in her new car, it quickly became a fun and light hearted photo shoot for High Speed Magazine’s http://www.highspeedmag.com/) DJ Foothill, owner and lead photographer. “We are thrilled to have Nikki for an upcoming feature and cover for the magazine. With the addition of industry professionals such as Rick Garcia, http://www.myspace.com/industrybyrick) photographer and Tricia James http://www.triciajames.info/ make up artist, our work is getting noticed by some very big companies!” Exclaimed DJ.”

Ed Freeman

You’re a 19 year old kid. You’re critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley , 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray, Vietnam . Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8–1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac helicopters to stop coming in.

You’re lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you’re not getting out. Your family is half way around the world—12,000 miles away—and you’ll never see them again.. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.

Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of helicopter, and you look up to see an un-armed Huey, but it doesn’t seem real, because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.

Ed Freeman is coming for you. He’s not Medi-Vac, so it’s not his job, but he’s flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.

He’s coming anyway.

And he drops it in, and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 2 or 3 of you on board.

Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire, to the doctors and nurses.

And, he kept coming back…13 more times…and took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.

Medal of Honor Recipient, Ed Freeman, died March 25th, 2009 at the age of 80, in Boise, ID…May God rest his soul.

LOS ANGELES – AVN launched a mobile site and partnered with PornStarTweet.com for the upcoming Erotica LA, June 12-14 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

“AVN enters the mobile arena with our m.Erotica-LA.com site. This mobile device website offers booth listings, event and seminar schedules, porn star signing times and locations, F.A.M.E. Awards coverage, news and more,” said Mary Beth Barnett, AVN’s director of digital media.

The mobile site also features answers to frequently-asked questions and provides an easy-to-use map of the must-attend event for any fan of erotica and adult entertainment.

“The Erotica LA mobile site is AVN’s latest method to connect with our audience, and the idea sprung from a customer service vantage point,” explained Cindy Cheer, marketing director for Erotica LA. “The site will enable our customers to receive content conveniently and with more flexibility.

“Plus, with the PornStarTweet.com tweet-ups happening all weekend, the consumers will be receiving information from several sources.  PornStarTweet.com will be reporting on the F.A.M.E. Awards and both Erotica LA and PornStarTweet.com will be tweeting on all consumer activities.”

With only 7 days left until the show, updates on exhibitor product launches, porn star appearances and giveaways are frequent and the mobile site offers the fastest access to the latest on Erotica LA.

“The mobile site allows us to directly network with our customers while providing them with the most recent event info,” Cheer said.

“I’m pretty excited to see how the fans respond to the mobile site as well as the PornStarTweet.com tweet-ups.”

Additionally, AVN’s development and graphics teams are jumping into the Erotica LA excitement by encouraging attendees to make the event part of their social media world:

• The staff is looking for the most creative use of #EroticaLA on Twitter — So, get clever — the AVN development team will be watching!

• Send your best onsite photos directly from your Smartphone during the event to elapics@avn.com to be posted on AVN.com member galleries. The coolest photo will be chosen by the AVN graphics team.

These two social media correspondents will each win a VUDU box featuring the AVN After Dark Channel.

“Keep up with unexpected celebrity sightings, newly added Porn Star signings, and special discounts,” Cheer said. “Tweet what you are doing at Erotica LA and don’t forget to use the tag @EroticaLA!”

Please note: Twitter just changed its policy regarding tweets, so if you would like the text to be public, integrate @EroticaLA within the text of your tweet.

OK, so there I was standing outside the Aqua Lounge in Beverly Hills, I was there for the  Marco Banderas  Music Video Release Party. When Mr. Adult Con himself comes up to me and starts to explain why I wouldn’t  be granted a media pass for this years Adult Con. He went on to say that only authorized members of the adult media will be issued media credentials. Well, says I, my photos have been published in XBIZ, Stiletto, AVN, Pain and Penthouse! (AVN and Penthouse on line galleries) and of course, lets not forget the every popular “Beach Cities Media” blog!!  “Does that qualify me as part of the “Adult Media”? “Yes”, says he, “But they already have their assigned photographers and you (yours truly) are not on the list”! OH WOE IS ME!!!  He apologized and went on his merry way…

I was really pissed off and insulted. But fuck it, I’ll stay home, I’ll show them…. Why I otta….. Then Porno Dan told me I was going to shoot him during the show for I Porn….

The show was small and crowds were smaller… I’m sure the economy, weather and very close to Chrismas had lots to do with the low turn out… Enjoy the photos…

Body Expo Los Angeles 2008
Photos and text by Rick Garcia
September, 26 – 29, 2008

The first annul Body Art Expo was held in the spacious Los Angeles Convention Center during
the weekend of Sept 26, 27 and 29, 2008.  Brought to us by Mega Production’s Edwin Quan and
sponsored   by “Baba” and Vintage Tattoo.
The first tattoo convention I attended was 5 years ago in Pomona Ca, Body Expo. My son and I
were so excited to see so many great artist under one roof. I think everyone else thought the
same. There were so many fans and so crowded, that it made walking through the isles very
difficult. The intense  July heat did not make matters any better. It was so crowed, the police were forced into shutting the ticket window down and turning the late comers away. All in all making “that” show a great
success.
Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the debut of Body Expo in Los Angeles. Which was a big surprise to
me considering the venue is in the heart of LA with its very dense population. As I walked
around the floor, the hot topic was the lack of patrons! Many were concerned about just breaking
even let alone making a profit.
I would have to blame to poor economy which kept many people home. It can’t be the lack of
advertizement. Months prior to the event, you could not step outside and not see a Body Expo
sign. I don’t know if the London show, held the same weekend had anything to do with the poor
attendance. Some of the Body Expo regulars were guest of that show. Who know’s what the
cause was, my son and I still had a great time shooting  and seeing old friends. I was very excited to see the very  respected and loved Chuco
. 

I know you’ve seen him in countless magazines and shows. He’s been very sick of late, and sadly he told  me the doctors have done all they could for him. It was only a matter of time. When he found out his friends
conspired to inter him into the tattoo contest, he told them no, he was not here to receive any
sympathy vote, but simply to see his old friends, possibly for the last time.
As spooky as this sounds, the tattoo of the day for Friday was an incredible color portrait of Paul
Newman… As you by now know, the legendary actor passed away the same night! Geeezzzz!

(Hollywood, CA) Superstar adult performer Sunny Lane is set to do the Vu in Kalamazoo starting this Thursday, September 4th through Saturday, September 6th where she will bring her exciting feature dance shows to the Déjà vu Showgirls nightclub for three appearances nightly.
The always smiling Florida native has been traveling as part of her nationwide Girl-Next-Door Tour 2008 that has taken her to meet fans in all parts of the country.  “I love traveling and meeting my fans but the best part is when I get to make new friends and win over new fans,” she said as she prepared for the big Adam & Eve/Zero Tolerance party tonight in Hollywood to celebrate the skate crazy movie Roller Dollz of which Sunny stars in.
“Feature dancing is one of the things I love to do because the audience is right there just inches from me and I can really feed off of their enthusiasm.  It’s a lot different than making movies which I also love to do especially when I get to make cool movies like the ones I’ve been in this year,” Lane rejoiced.
With a number of high profile movies on the way including Not Bewitched XXX and Roller Dollz plus Big Wet Asses #13 which is already in stores, Sunny has enjoyed 2008 more than any other year in her bustling career.
“You know, this has been one of those great years where everything is totally fun and I can’t wait to get to the next project.  There’s always something to do or something going on like the party tonight in Hollywood.” she said.
With her trip to Kalamazoo this weekend, Sunny returns to the Great Lake State where she wowed fans earlier this year in Saginaw.  “The Michigan fans are awesome and they really get into it so this trip will be wild and I hope everybody comes out to see me.”
Following Michigan, Sunny will travel to New York for the Exxxotica NY convention where she will meet and greet fans with Genesis Magazine in the Fantasy Island booth.
With dozens of appearances on her fall schedule and major feature movies on the horizon including the action-packed Roller Dollz from Adam & Eve Pictures/Zero Tolerance September 9th and the hilarious television spoof Not Bewitched XXX from Adam & Eve Pictures/X-Play September 23rd, Sunny is one busy girl so don’t forget to ask your favorite store to stock up on DVDs because Sunny told you so.
