In the new issue of Vanity Fair, James Wolcott writes about XXX stars who’ve recently written autobiographies. Along with Jenna Jameson, Traci Lords, and Jerry Butler, the article features dear BB pal Christy Canyon, author of the excellent Lights, Camera, Sex! From the Vanity Fair article:
There’s no apprenticeship in porn. No boot camp for nervous recruits. You’re thrown naked into the gladiator ring to prove your mettle, and three weeks in the business gives you enough experience to accumulate quite a bushel of colorful anecdotes and pungent impressions. Three years as a porn thespian and you’re a regular Gielgud, full of lore… Paired with Ken-doll porn stalwart Peter North, Christy Canyon learns that there’s one part of his anatomy that’s strictly No Trespassing: “Can I just tell you one thing Christy,” Deep concern set in his brown eyes… “It’s really the only thing you have to know about me in a sex scene.”
“Of course you can tell me.” Maybe he was going to tell me that he easily formed a crush on girls that looked like me.
“Do not touch my hair.” … He glanced in the mirror. “It takes me a long time to get my hair like this, and if anybody touches it in a sex scene, I lose all of my concentration.”
I didn’t want that on my conscience. “I promise you Peter, I will not touch your hair.”
