A SPECIAL POST with thanks to Morgan and Patrick for contributing their awareness, and to Billinexile.com for their cotinuing and  admirable dedication and attention on social issues. (Local Spirit Day observations may be at different times and include different events, but worldwide, October 20th is the Day.) October 20th is Spirit Day here at Turkxxxonline – and at Bill in Exile and other blogs, places of work, schools and wherever gays and lesbians live and breathe. Spirit Day was started by Brittany McMillan , and on the 20th we will wear purple in honor of the 7 gay boys who committed suicide recently due to homophobic abuse in their homes or at their schools. Purple represents Spirit on the GLBTQ flag – and that’s exactly what the sponsors of Spirit Day would like all of you to have with you: spirit and something purple to wear on that day in celebration of the spirits and lost lives of these seven young men. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and schools about Spirit Day and why it’s so important. RIP Tyler Clementi, Asher Brown, Seth Walsh, Justin Aaberg, Raymond Chase, Billy Lucas and Cody J. Barker (picture not shown). You are all loved. When we all say ENOUGH!!! together, in one voice…it will be enough.

LIFTED SPIRITS

I knew I wouldn’t get up early for my 5 days straight of shooting, events, parties, and the GayVN awards so I left myself a little note on my alarm clock lol. Last Thursday night went well at the Eagle for the PornTeam & Nakedsword party with yours truly – then we headed to the Hot House Party & later the Cocky Boys party where I ran into several friends and fans. Just to name a few…Austin Wild, Jason Adonis, Trevor Knight, Bobby Clark, Matthew Rush, Jake Steel, Diesel Washington, and many, MANY more! You can see me also with Diesel & Nick Starr,  with Jake Steel & my co-trophy boy at the awards Dillon Roberts. We also chatted with Roma & Angel Benton.   Friday morning I was in rehearsal with Alec Mapa at 10 AM to 1PM, where they informed Dillion and I that we would be wearing leather collars and latex booty shorts for the Awards show that evening – Let me just tell you, latex is not comfortable or flattering – we put them one with lots of baby powder and ended up cutting each others down significantly as they were very long. The latex made us both look like we had no dicks or asses! Ahhh, but people still seemed to like them. After I left rehearsal and modified my outfit, I went to shoot a scene for 2 hours, then right back to the theater for the awards. Dillion, Steven Daigle (Ex-Reality TV Star turned Porn Star), Alec Mapa, and myself got lots of behind the scenes coverage for the showtime special. Once the show began Alec, Dillion and I remained on stage for the entire ceremony (3 hours). The awards had a couple of technical errors but overall went well. Our job as Trophy Boys was to hand out the “And the winner is…” envelopes and trophies. The trophy situation was kinda problematic – there was only 2 ‘dummy’ trophies that we had to collect back from the winners as they exited the stage, and some didn’t want to give it up. The real trophies engraved with their names were to be mailed after the show. Afterwards, a few friends and I, including my friend that does drag and made a dress outta trash bags before the show – hit up a couple of the after parties where I ran into some more of my buddies including Shane Frost who looks better and better each time I see him! Then on Saturday I had class in the morning and a night filled with 3 more parties…and still not out of gas!!!!LOL Sunday morning I worked the PornTeam booth and did some signings while in my leather wear, including my new knee high boots. I of course got nude in public more than once hehe. Then off to see Margaret Cho who is just as busy as me – after the show she had to head straight back to LA for ‘Dancing with the Stars’ the next night Live. She was of course awesome! And there I met my scene partner for the following morning Lance Navaro. So Monday I once again got up early and it was off for a day of shooting. It’s been hard to find time to breathe…phew! ***** This week’s LIVE CAM AND CHAT  is going to be rescheduled for 7PM PST on Thursday (TOMORROW) ! See you there! Hope to see you all and also SJguy (we ran into each other at Folsom St. Fair)!!! *****

RETURKING

SUNDAY, JUNE 27   The day kicks off with the parade , with the Dykes on Bikes revving their engines and rolling out from Market and Beale at 10:30 a.m., followed quickly by the slightly quieter, more eco-friendly Mikes on Bikes. Celebrity Grand Marshals this year include novelist Alice Walker, who’ll be near the front, the Backstreet Boys, DADT activist Zoe Dunning, and Andy Bell from Erasure. Celebrity guests this year include Rupaul’s Drag Race breakout star Ongina, trans actress/activist Calpernia Adams, and Noah’s Arc star Darryl Stephens. By 1:30 or 2 the parade will wind down, and everyone who isn’t crowd-phobic will wind up in Civic Center , where there’ll be various stages playing a variety of music. The main stage will feature Nancy Pelosi at 2:55, the Backstreet Boys will do a 20-minute set at 4:05, and Andy Bell goes on at 4:45. To satisfy the many tastes of the LGBTQs, there’ll be multiple stages and venues for different communities, including Swing Block hosted by Queer Jitterbugs,  Leather Alley, and the Community Dance Stage hosted by BeatBox Events, featuring DJs Jim Hopkins, David Harness, and a performance by Brazilian electro diva Bella of The Fire and Reason. If the Civic Center scene gets to be too much (and it likely will), you can head up to the Lookout in the Castro where the weekly JOCK party will likely be pretty happening. – from sf ist, edited Hi all, this is such a GREAT event, will have more to tell you when I get back – it’s hectic as always but fun hectic. Thanks, wish you were here!!!

40 AND FABULOUS

Two events yesterday, Vance and I had our 6 year anniversary of something lol, but many many miles apart. The series finale of Lost (lol). I must say though, my friend and I who sat down to watch the four and a half hour recap and finale were somewhat disappointed by the ending. We both new it had to have something to do with heaven and hell, faith, and all that good stuff, but we were irritated that none of the 6 years several questions about the island itself were answered – NONE! Wtf? Anyway, it’s back to school tomorrow! So I went shopping today for some final things, like school supplies and food for lunches. I made about a weeks worth of lunches so I don’t have to worry about it every morning – of course I may have taken a break along the way for a cookie or two lol. Wish me luck on my first day! It’s off to bed early tonight, early mornings begin tomorrow – I hope I’m not late, as you all know I am not the most punctual person lol.

SCHOOL OF LIFE

Yesterday two of my friends and I went to my favorite tattoo parlor on Haight Street in San Francisco to get tattoed. I typically get a new tattoo every time I end or begin a new chapter of my life, and as I am beginning school next week I wanted one that represented that change…don’t worry, Turk XXX Online isn’t going anywhere, I am simply beginning a new chapter of my life going to school to become an Esthetician. So I wanted to commemorate the last 7 years with a tattoo as part of my tattoo road map so-of-speak, as I have with all the other major events in my life. The tattoo is on my right ankle (I have all even tattoos so I already had my left ankle, now I needed my right). It is a dagger with a star at the top (porn star) and a banner around it reading ‘Nakkid Youth’ – since I have spent most of my youth in the adult industry, nude of course lol. My friends got tats too. They are sisters. The older got a cute butterfly with a saying around it in Italian that means ‘To the End Faithful’, and the younger sister got a couple of flowers with her little brothers name under them. In case you were curious, here is my ‘road map’ so far… 1. The symbol for balance on my left shoulder, this was my first tattoo, I got it in high school while everything in my life was still very balanced and well-rounded, before life truly began for me. 2. Next is the symbol for chaos (the chaos star), I got the year after I graduated high school on the right shoulder. This was an incredibly chaotic time for me, working, going to college, moving away from home, beginning in the adult industry, and trying to carve a future path for myself. 3. The tree of life on my back, well by this point I was well on my way in school and in the adult trade, plus I had my first official boyfriend. The tree of life symbolizes life and how we all grow, that is why I got it on my back, the largest part of my body, so that it can grow a lot! 4 & 5. My two wrist tattoos symbolizing Vance and I. We both have the same ones, he is on the left side (symbol for Taurus) and I am on the right (symbol for Scorpio). These tattoos began as necklaces that we wore, I used to wear his sign and he would wear mine – you can see them in many of our earlier films. 6. Under my right arm, Arabic writting that says ‘Live for Me’ – this became a life mantra for me after a tough year that included the breakup of Vance and I, my return to the adult industry, and the creation of this site. I learned a lot of lessons that year, one above all was that you can’t help others until you have first helped yourself. 7. The Kanji script on my left ankle are Chinese Zodiac symbols, Vance as the year of the Ox, Myself as the year of the Rat. This was when the two of us got back together after nearly a year apart living our separate lives. The time we spent apart was necessary, we were so young when we originally got together that we missed a lot of opportunities, opportunities that I feel we needed to have and go through before we could truly commit to one another. 8. ‘Marilyn’ in cursive under my left arm. This tattoo is my grandmothers name, she was very influential in my childhood when others weren’t there for me. She basically raised me and when she passed away in 2004 I was devastated. But she has always stayed with me, especially when times were rough. I got this tattoo late last year, 2009 was a very tough year for me, three of my friends had committed suicide, Vance and I were on again off again, I was not getting much work and often couldn’t support myself, the year in total was bad for most people. Through it all I thought of my grandmother and she helped me get through it. 9. My latest as described above, to commemorate my long and successful adult career and moving forward with that and other venues. Thats it for now, off to work that bar and let my tat heal a bit more

TATTOO YOU

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!! THINK ABOUT COMMITTING TO LIVING A BIT GREENER…ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ADDS UP!!! I am thinking today of how busy I am going to be once school starts next month. Between school, the website, bartending, photo and video shoots, and all the events and awards shows – I don’t know when I am going to sleep I just spent the last 3 hours this morning scheduling my life for the next six months. Sheesh! Well, at least things should slow down a bit after I graduate and get a ‘regular’ job – maybe…I hope lol.
