Well. The website proper has just gone live with my sobering account of several porn stars who have tried to/have gone/are trying to/ go mainstream via their porn notoriety. The peg being Ms. J. Jonah Jameson, or, rather, Jenna Jameson, in the in-theaters-one-week-only something-fest Zombie Strippers.
I wonder. Have I ever told you guys about my one career-counseling moment with a woman who would, alas, soon become a porn star? I was thinking about it this evening and so many of my memories played like prose I'd already written that I was a little scared. The story involves a then-topless-dancer who would later go under the nom du porn Cheyenne Silver, future controversial-book-writer Evan Wright, photog Nathaniel Welch, porn actor/gun carrier T.T. Boy...and there's a cameo appearance by novelist David Foster Wallace. Stop me if you heard this one before.
But if you haven't, I'll be happy to lay it on you all...
UPDATE: Apparently I have not related this tale previously. Well. I've got a few errands to run, after which I'll get right to it. Expect something this afternoon, Eastern time. I think you'll find it worth the wait...
UPDATE THE SECOND: See the post above, lyrically titled "The Ballad of Cheyenne SIlver," for the whole sad story...
I know I ain't heard it.

Since I can't comment on the story, two things here re: Traci Lord.
1) Melrose Place was pretty darn mainstream.
2) Fallen Angel is one of the best singles ever.

What about Kristine DeBell? She was always my personal porn to mainstream crossover.
