WTF? Cyber Monday Sale?

WTF is this now? "Cyber Monday"?

I thought we where only going to have to deal with "Black Friday", but nooooooooo... 'Retail' insists on milking this thing as long as it can.

Okay... I'm not going to be left out, so today only (Monday, November 29th, 2010) all of my DVD's and Blu-Ray's are "Buy 1 - Get 1 Free" when purchased from The Play Place Store.

The sale is ONLY good at the Play Place Store, because I don't have control over any of the other store's selling my films. Place your order thru my PayPal cart, and in the "Comments" Section of the order form, just list the FREE titles you want added.

ALL my titles are included, including 2 Disc Sets.

Happy Monday!

I Don't Like Mondays

It's dreary out today.


It's been drizzling for a few hours now.


I really miss the smell of the summer air.  I'm totally not ready for winter period.  I really need to go buy some more long sleeved shirts.  But I find spaghetti straps, or tank tops sexy.  Haven found any sexy long sleeves that I like yet ... haha

All though for as long as I can remember I've never liked Mondays or the cold.  Alot of people, especially women, always say it's because "Your so skinny".  Well, I've been a size 14 and it wasn't any warmer.  So I wish people would stop saying that.

I think I'm just a person who like the heat.  I like being in bikini tops and jeans.  Or little skirts if its warm enough.  But warm to me is 75 and above.

O the reason I hate rainy days and Mondays.  It makes me feel like blah.  I can't think of anything that sounds like it would be fun other than sex or getting drunk.  Or something that makes me not care what the weather is like outside.

"5 Ways To Get A Pornstar To Take You Seriously"

“5 WAYS TO GET A PORNSTAR TO TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY”

A Blog by Marie Madison for Rog’s Reviews
And now I'm sharing this one also for those of you
who may have not seen it.

I read a lot of Porn Industry Blogs, and I follow quite a few ‘Porn Fan’ Message Boards, and a common complaint among the threads is how difficult it is to get in touch
with Porn Stars. Or more specifically, why so many Porn Stars don’t reply to e-mail and don’t respond to messages.

So, in this crazy age of Social Networking, where we are ‘Friends With’, ‘Connected To’ and ‘Following’ damn near everyone… why is it so hard to get a Porn Star to answer you back?
Now, I’m far from what most people would consider a ‘Porn Star’, but I do get my fair share of e-mail and messages. Sometimes hundreds a day. I answer a lot of them, but the vast majority I simply delete. Because I don’t take them seriously enough to take the time to answer.

To be fair, a lot of Porn Stars don’t run their own Social Networks, so you might have to do a little research to find the best way to connect with them, but here are a few things you can do to increase your chances of a response.

1. KNOW WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO


Before you fire off a message, take a minute or two to actually read the web page you are messaging from. If it’s a site like MySpace or Facebook, read the profile. It’ll give you a sense if that page is run by the Porn Star, or if it’s run by the Company the Porn Star works for.

This idea seems basic to me, but yet a couple times a month, my Lawyer forwards me fan mail from someone who sent it from the USC 18 page on my web site. It’s not smart to assume everyone’s Lawyer will do that.


2. DON’T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS


While we all enjoy the work involved in creating the fantasy world we all play in week to week, for the vast majority of us, it’s still our job. Like you, we exist in the real world, in a tough economy, and all have the same basic bills.

To put a finer point on it, Web Cam Shows make our car payments. So, if you find me in a Chat Room and ask me to ‘Show me your tits’ on my Webcam… well, no offense, but that’s sort of where my pay check comes from.

Imagine if you were a successful auto mechanic who built his business from a real love of cars. Then someone comes up to you one day, because he recognized you from your television commercial and says “Hey, can you put a new transmission in my car real quick?” Asking me for a ‘Free Membership’, or a ‘Free Download’, or a ‘Free’ anything, is sort of the same thing.

And while we’re here, it’s never smart to assume that Porn Stars are also Prostitutes. Two completely different Professions. I shouldn’t have to say more.


3. DON’T MESSAGE SOMETHING YOU WOULDN’T SAY IN PERSON


True Story. A couple years ago, I was at a Film Festival promoting a ‘Mainstream’ Film, and a guy came up to me out of nowhere and said “Can I fuck you in the ass?” Two dudes from behind me grabbed him and tossed him out into the parking lot.

So here’s a good rule of thumb. If you wouldn’t say it to her face in public, don’t send it in a Message. This applies to pictures of your Penis. If you aren’t the kind of guy who would whip it out in the middle of a bar to ‘show me’, then don’t e-mail me a picture of your Cock. If you are that kind of guy… then well, fire away. But know it’s going to get deleted.


4. DON’T BE A STALKER


Asking me for my cell phone number or telling me what Gym I work out at is more creepy than charming. Also, being a ‘Historian’ is a bit of a grey area. Reminding me of every Anal Scene I’ve ever done is flattering to a point, but it can come off as being a little weird too. So, be careful with that.


5. USE COMMON COURTESY & SHOW SOME RESPECT


Again, seems like the basics to me, but you wouldn’t believe some of the stuff that comes thru. Just like in ‘Real Life’, if you talk to me like a person, with courtesy and some respect, I’m much more inclined to answer your question, or take a few minutes to chat.


Of course, there’s no guarantee that your favorite Porn Star is going to respond to you, but taking a few minutes to think it thru will greatly increase your chances. If you want to test it out, follow the rules, and write me at marie@mariemadison.com

What To Do When The Porn Your're Buying Sucks"

“What to do When the Porn You’re Buying Sucks”
(original guest blog - rogreviews.com)  Since I don't know how many of
you saw this there.  I'm sharing it again)

A Blog by Marie Madison

In my on going attempt to stay somewhat “tuned in” to the Porn World, I visit quite a few fan pages and message boards and there’s a common thread among the threads and it is: porn sort of sucks these days.


Most of the participants of these kinds of discussions typically muse about the myriad of reasons why, but I disagree with the notion itself. This week, I offer my “Top 5 Things To Do When The Porn You’re Buying Sucks.”

1. Stop Buying It

Don’t misunderstand. I’m not suggesting instead you steal it by participating in tube sites and torrents. I’m saying vote with your wallet. If you’ve grown tired of the same old crap being put in front of you, stop buying it. Cancel your subscription, put your credit card back in your pocket.

As a producer, many times the only indication I have as to the popularity of a title or a line, is how many copies are sold, rented, viewed, downloaded, etc. If a title moves a lot of copies, it’s got an automatic green light for a sequel. So, if you’ve been buying from your favorite director or studio hoping that somehow they’ll “figure it out” and start giving you more or less of whatever you like, you’re sending the wrong message.

I read it all the time. “Why did so-and-so stop doing this?” or “Why doesn’t Mr. Director do this or that?” Every single time, Mr. Director’s response is “Well, it keeps selling, so you must be the only one who doesn’t like it.” If you want to let porn studios and producers know you’re not happy, you have to stop buying it. Everyone knows “money talks”—well, it works both ways.

2. Get Specific With Your Search Engine

So you get down to thoughts of MILFs with Big Butts and Little Tits who like to wear pink t-shirts and wear purple leg warmers with cotton panties? Yeah…me, too. Try typing it into your favorite search engine. Get real, real specific. And not just with the look, but with the action of the scene too, since that’s the point. Want your MILF with Purple Leg Warmers doing an ATM? You might be surprised at what you find.



The Internet has become the main point of distribution for millions of solo girls, web amateurs and couples who have been making dirty movies for a lot of years. Millions. Just because you don’t see them covered in the ‘Porn Press’ doesn’t mean they don’t exist. But, they aren’t going to come to you. You have to look for them, and when you find them…

3. Support The People Making What You Like

Most Web Amateurs don’t have the resources to have the technical infrastructure and online distribution enjoyed by the mainstream companies. It might mean paying a little more for a DVD, and if what you like is really obscure, it might mean sending a money order in the mail. But the payoff of finding “good porn” is worth it.

For most of these Web Amateurs and Indie Producers, you’re dealing with maybe one or two people who pay their rent selling clips and cam shows and believe me, they’ll appreciate your business. You might be surprised at how professional and easy to deal with most of them are.

I’m not going to ignore the fact that when you go to the web for niche content, you are typically not going to receive the same technical quality as the “mainstream”, but again…money talks and you might be surprised at what smaller producers are capable of with a few more loyal customers.

4. Demand It Where You Shop

Look, I’m not suggesting you abandon your favorite smut shop. There are good reasons why you shop there—the convenience, the staff and the service. All things you shouldn’t have to sacrifice in your quest for quality porn. But understand that if you didn’t know about this Indie Producer or Solo Girl, then your favorite store hasn’t heard of them either. Write an email (or a hundred) or talk to the store manager. Let them know what you’re looking for and let them do their job in supplying it to you.

When I began in the adult industry over 10 years ago, I started by supplying single copies of my movies to video stores who were filling custom orders. Someone went in and asked for it, and said, “Call Marie Madison.”

5. And, if all else fails…Go Custom

If your tastes are so specific that you can’t find it from a web producer, then you have the option of a “custom video”. Understand, you are asking the model or producer to make something specifically for you, so you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $1000 or more for the pleasure of getting exactly what you want. But for many, having your exact fantasy played out on video (right down to the outfits and dialog) is a pretty big thrill and worth the price tag.

Many adult stars offer “custom video productions” and there are tons and tons of web amateurs who offer it as well. So if you’re going to go this route, do some research and really look around to make sure you get exactly what you want.

If you put in a little bit of effort, porn can not only be good again, but actually a little bit of an adventure to seek out. And who doesn’t love an adventure that ends with a cum shot?

Saturday Nights

It's only 8:11 p.m. (EST) and for some reason it feels much later than that.  Yesterday I thought it was Thursday all day.  Ya, I know...

Can you tell it was one of those days.  All day, more accurately all week it seems like the universe has been speaking to me throw text, astrology, and what have you.  I've been trying to listen.  But it's just one of those things... you can't control.

And I've hurt myself three times this week.  The first took place the other night.  I was cutting up peppers and onions to make stuffed pepper soup with.  I had a variety of bell peppers.  I tend to stick to have more red, orange, and yellow ones.  I usually add in one green pepper.

Why the sparse green pepper?  I love green peppers.  I  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them, but they unfortunately have hatred and rage for me.  I don't know what it was I did to piss off the Green Pepper Gods, but it was bad. 

Anyway...

I got to the red pepper, half way through chopping it I feel the knife pierce my skin.  Now my brain said, "OUCH! You can stop that, because it hurts!", but my hands did not even react.  I could feel the knife going in deeper with each swipe.  To the point I yelled , "Mother Fucker" and I dropped the knife.  Don't worry no stitches. 

Luckily for me I didn't push to hard.  I was doing more of a swooping motion.

Oh.. Oh and let's not forget about Sunday, before the "I tried to cut my finger off incident".
I went to the grocery store.  I put my groceries in the back of my van.  Mind you the winds that day were around 50 miles per hour.  I open the door, turn to get into the car, the wind blows my hair in my face.   The wind blows the door and it hits me right on the right side of my head.

What made it worse.  I was wearing my glasses and not my usual contact  look.   I thought they busted,  And I cant see shit without visual correction.  So the hurt part, when the wind blow my door shut it hit my glasses.  Which inflicted a lump and a small cut on my temple.

If it would have happened on the left side, well it probably wouldn't have.  I have no central vision in my right eye, so by the wind blowing the wind over my good eye I couldn't see the door flying at me.

And once it was my fault.  I was playing with Hamilton.  He got excited and jumped right up on me.  Now, he is an 85 pound Olde English Bulldog.  And he is only a year old.  So in his brain he is a 20 lb lap dog.  He is a cute shit, but man he hits hard.

That's him.

See I told you he was cute!

Anyway, he was lying  down and since we have been shooting 3D here at Maddy G Productions, well Mark thought this would make a cute picture, and it does.  He really got sick of all the 3D happenings around here. Ha Ha

I think it is a really weird week thus far.  But weird isn't always bad.

This week SUCKS ass, and not in a good way!

 

 

So this week just sucks ass and not in the good way.  I think that’s all I have to say about it.

Murphy’s Law

 

Yesterday was a weird fucking day.  It started the moment I woke up.  And the only reason I woke up was because Hamilton (my Olde English Bulldog) has this thing lately where he shakes his head until I get out of bed.

He does it because he knows I will get out of bed.  Then he jumps his ass up on the bed and goes to sleep.  Anyway, I saw that there was a text from my daughter.  It said, “We have no HW”.  So I assumed that meant we had no hot water.  I checked the bathroom adjacent to my bedroom and sure enough, no hot water.

I asked Mark to come and check it out.  For several reasons, 1) I can’t read the frickin small print and 2) He knows shit about heating and air.  Sure enough the pilot was out.  So he lit it for me and whaa La , in a half hour I had hout water.

We both started our day with checking email, etc.  Mark’s computer decided to stop working.  We fucked with it for a couple hours trying to do everything we could think of to fix it.  The last thing we tried was hooking up his computer’s hard drive to my computer to at least save all the video footage.  It instantly crashed my computer and now neither the Post computer or mine is working.  SHIT!!!

At this point we had worked on the computers all day.  Time for a little break.  I knew my daughter would be home from school soon too.  I went to go see her.  She had a horrible day as well.  You know 14 year old dilema of “boys”.  Well, one in particular was being a dick.  So we all tried to cheer her up a bit.  Then I said to her, “You were right, I had Mark check the hot water tank.”  She says, “What for?”  I said.  You sent me a text saying we had no hot water”  She said, “No I didn’t”

This sent a chill down my spine.  She has often said she feels paranormal activity in the house, so I don’t know. 

It ended up we had to go buy Windows 7.  I lost everything.  My email program and everything that goes along with it.  I’m slowly recovering some of them.  But it turns out Windows 7 doesn’t even come with an email program.  So I had to download Windows Live Mail.  I hate this mail program.  One, it has no disability settings for low visual aide that I can find.  And two, I just hate it.  I found a few of my emails, for people who ordered customs, but that’s about it.  My brother the computer expert says “Use the import button”.  I did, but it didn’t do shit.  And I cant figure out how to import anything.  The install did  save a lot of my information in a folder entitled Windows.Old.  But It won’t sync up.  I like my old email program Windows Mail.  I had it where I wanted it to be as far as disability settings, for my blindness, and all my separate folders for everything.  FUCK, FUCK, FUCK

So the installation took forever.  But at least the footage was saved.  Now, I have to learn a whole new operating system all over again.

So, Mark stayed a little later and we got some beer.  Why, because we fucking just had a bad day.  Why else?  Haha, like you need a reason to drink right?

So bed was the last thing.  And now it’s a brand new day.
