I swear that somewhere I've read that the change happened as gay porn become big business. So I think Peter North was just part of a general trend; gay porn led to more attractive men in the business. And around the same time the home video market exploded, so appealing to female consumers became more of a priority.

Strega, your knowledge base is a thing of awesome beauty and power.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Four confirmed cases of E.Coli here in town. Feh.

Heh. Thanks! I'm sort of annoyed because I have no idea where I picked that up.

Oh, it might be from a Susie Bright essay. That sounds plausible, at least.

In other news, I somehow managed to score a haircut appointment for tomorrow.

That doesn't qualify as "other news" for me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

This whole conversation is worth it just to add "get your bork on" to the lexicon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Get these motherborking snakes off this motherborking plane!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

To ask the Swedish krav instructor or not to ask...

This week I have asked him to stand up, turn around, drop something on the floor and pick it up. So it's either the right week to ask him about vanilla!Sweden, or the wrong one.

Were you aware that North didn't actually get his start in straight porn, but migrated over from the gay side of the business? His stage name for that used to be Matt Ramsey.

Oh yeah. Well, I didn't know that offhand, but I didnt recognize his name at all. So I Googled, and his bio seemed to fit my trivia-based impression of what had happened.
