Had a great day today. Went for lunch with the MD of the Lovers' Guide and he asked me if I'd like to be a company director from March. Seems to make sense given that I'm already writing the vids and editing the website so it's taking up a fair bit of time already. And it's fun.
Got to write the latest Messagizer newsletter - something about sex, subject to be decided. And then got a load of emails to reply to/interviews to write up. The first is with the author of Fearless Loving (surprisingly good book. I usually hate self-help books but this one actually contains no bullshit interesting info/advice. Then again, the author watched her dad shoot her mother and then kill himself when she was 14 years old and had to figure out how to deal with it so she's dealt with some heavy shit in her time. Best of all, it's not a whiny 'victim syndrome' book, which makes a change.)
The other is rather different - it's with Lindsay Honey, better known as 'Ben Dover'. We've had loads of women say they like Ben Dover films when asked about the porn they like so figured an interview with him would be a good thing for Cliterati. Apparently his ambition is to be a politician (This piece gives an idea of his politics). Apparently, the most amusing moment on set was as follows:
We turned up to do a housewives shoot and the lady had been called to a meeting with social services. She asked her next door neighbour if she'd do it instead. And she did! She had the time of her life.
Tad different from asking a neighbour if you can borrow a cup of sugar.
If you fancy being in a Ben Dover film, mail ben@ben-dover.com . However, bear in mind this comment:
"I don't audition English guys any more. They're all rubbish."
