Oh wow! We’re going to be in Oprah’s “O” magazine!
Violet told me about this a couple of weeks ago, and I hinted at it in our last newsletter. But I guess now that it’s posted on the TinyNibbles.com website it’s official – Comstock Films is getting the Oprah Winfrey seal of approval. Says Violet in her O Magazine article:
“Comstock Films’ Xana and Dax and Marie and Jack — insanely high quality production documentary style videos about couples deeply in love, who talk about how they met, and sex, and then show us all how they make love to each other. Shot on film, thigh-clenching chemistry between people who are sexy as hell and really love each other.”
Insaneley! Deeply! Thigh-clenching chemistry! I am insanely, deeply, thigh-clenchingly excited!
I am also wondering what the hell is happening. If we’re living in a world where Violet Blue is giving Oprah Winfrey advice on what to rent so she can heat things up a stay home date with Steadman, or enjoy a nice gushy afternoon wank with herself, can cold fusion be far behind?
I’m also thinking that porn (or erotica or adult films or whatever the fuck you want to call them) has officially run out of excuses for being lame, and that includes me. The bar has been raised on what’s possible, and crybaby excuses (including my own) aren’t going to cut it anymore. Thanks to Violet, the door is open (more like kicked clean off its hinges!) Who’s going to have the gumption to walk through it? Here are a few candidates:
Now I can already hear the Chatsworth old-guard, “Well O is a chick magazine and those are all chick directors.” True enough. But riddle me this, Batman: when was the last time Esquire, or Maxim, or even Playboy called out four male porn directors in one issue?
Feel free to answer (if you can) in the comments below. I’m not going to hold my breath.
(BTW, watching movie The Color Purple is a major plot point in our newest film Ashley & Kisha. I love these sorts of coincidences!)

Yep, congrats on achieving the big O, as it were.
Who knew that Oprah would suddenly decide that porn was OK?

It will be interesting to see what the combination of national press and mainstream availablity of our DVDs will do to sales. Hopefully something good!
