Behind the Scenes with Doug Jeffries
July 4th Blog
Like I promised last week I’m here to report the exciting weekend Chi Chi, Blake Riley, Jeremy Bilding and I had in Saugatuk, Michigan this week! I always love going there on July 4th weekend. It’s so warm and nice out, lots of hot sexy men running around and all my friends from the mid west that I see once or twice a year are there. We arrived at the Grand Rapids airport really late Thursday night, which is 45 minutes from our resort destination. We had to stop at a Target type store to get what I thought was basic needs for our stay in the woods…but the boys I guess needed to get Fireworks! I kinda thought that wasn’t such a good idea with those two and I was proven right when the Michigan police stopped them for setting them off on the streets late Friday night!
Chi Chi Dj’ed by the pool on Friday day and I have to say the sun wasn’t as sunny as it usually is for us at that pool party. That didn’t stop Chi Chi from spinning a great set and all the guys having a great time! I filmed pool footage that afternoon for our new Club Channel 1 DVD as well as the boys dancing at the Dunes resort Bar that evening. Talk …
NYC Blog
If I can make it there…I’ll make it anywhere! Hey gang…It’s Doug Jeffries reporting to you fresh back from NYC!
Chi Chi and I had an amazing time seeing the hit Broadway musical IN THE HEIGHTS! I was resistant because I really wanted to see HAIR which just won best revival. Once it won the Tony there was no way of getting a ticket.
My good friend and boss, Tony Rios told me that IN THE HEIGHTS was the best musical he ever saw and that I would love it…and guess what…he was right! Hip hop, rap, salsa and Broadway all mesh together in an amazing good feeling show! I was lucky enough to have reserved a hotel room right across the street from the musical itself so all we had to do was walk out of the hotel at 7:45 and get right to our seats.
A funny story about the hotel I stayed at. I reserved a room at the Paramount Hotel on 46th street (which is prime location) for like 120.00 a night on Orbitz…REALLY CHEAP!!! When I arrived at the hotel there was the cutest little Latin boy working the front and he had a hard time checking me in since they were so booked up. He finally found me a room on the 10th …
Pride Blog
So this was gay pride LA weekend!!!! What a great time pride is for the community! Everyone is out and about and there is a strong sense of unity throughout the Los Angeles gay lesbian and transgendered community. We at C1R celebrated with a party at our store (Chi Chi LaRue’s), a part in the parade, and a great booth at the festival in erotic city.
I actually kicked off my gay pride weekend at Cocktails with the Stars on Thursday night with the extremely sexy Jeremy Bilding and the very entertaining (and I mean he should really do a stand up routine) Vance Winter. Chi Chi was there (out of drag) for support, and we talked about everything from how old Vance really is to how dirty of a scene Jeremy just did for Chi Chi in TAKEN. The host (Scotty B.) gave me a trivia challenge on my movies thinking he was going to stump me but of course I got every single answer right. My favorite title to say in public is “He Fucked My Father” which Vance is deliciously placed naked and hard on the cover of. I’ve got to say this about Micky’s…they have some FINE ass bartenders working there. I had no idea where to look first!…
What a Week Blog
This week Chi Chi and I did a whirlwind our across the country promoting Channel 1, Taken, and Club Channel 1. I have to say I don’t know how she keeps up her schedule. I mean from city to city…from airport to airport…hotel to hotel. It can really take its toll on you! But having Chi Chi with me the entire trip is great since we love so many of the same things…like food, shopping, and best of all…SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE! What a fucking show that is huh? I have to say I’m a little upset with Mia Michaels and that little C whoever he is dogging on that hot black classical dancer Brandon…who is like the best dancer I’ve seen maybe ever! Come on Mia…it’s not about personality..it’s about dance…and that boys got it!
Ok…back to our trip. First we get up at 4:30 am on Tues and head to Dayton, Ohio, that’s right folks I said Dayton, Ohio. Once we got to Dayton they immediately dropped us off at a hotel in downtown Dayton where everything closed (and when I say everything I mean CVS) by 5pm. With no car, we are left to sit and look at each other for a couple nights. Thank God the dance show was happe…
Grabby Blog
Well I just got back from a very exciting weekend in Chicago with my good friends at the Grabby Awards. When I got on the plane on Wednesday with Chi Chi, I never expected the amount of fun I would have…nor did I expect to receive the great honors that me and our company would receive! I can always count on the good taste and the great support I get from Stacey, Mark and all the folks at the Grabbys.
Wednesday night we were taken to the Kit Kat Lounge and Supper Club for dinner with Mark and Stacey and I saw more Cher and Whitney drag numbers then I think I need to see for the rest of the year. The food was delicious…the manager made us feel very welcome and the company of course was amazing!
We then headed over to Hydrate where Chi Chi was to spin the following night to make sure everything was all set and ready for her.
Thursday night was the big party night. C1R and Fabscout hosted the VERY VERY busy Hydrate pre-grabby party. WOW…I never saw so many porn boy dancers in one place in my entire life! Those in attendance and swinging from the stripper poles included C1R Exclusives Jeremy Bilding, Cameron Mar…
Mother's Day Blog
Well as you all know it was Mother’s day this past Sunday and I took the advice of our extremely smart and cool accountant Polina, and took my mom out for dinner on Saturday night instead of Sunday. This seemed perfectly logical to me as I realized that if I go on Sunday I will avoid the huge lines, the crazy crowds, the tons of kids and the escalated prices. This all seemed like a perfectly calculated plan…except for the fact that I guess everyone else in the North Hollywood area must have spoken to Polina as well and received the same advice!
Danny and I took her to one of my favorite spots to eat steak: Outback Steak House (in Burbank). Being a creature of habit I always order the same thing, and pre-mother’s day Saturday was no exception. I always start our with a house salad (blue cheese and Italian dressings on the side), a 20oz rib eye cooked medium rare with a baked potato with sour cream and butter on the side. The waiter was our same waiter as last time and remembered what we got from a month ago!!! That amazes me since I can’t remember what people tell me from the morning till the afternoon!! It’s n…
Disappointed Blog
Well I know that I’ve been talking about this bear movie of mine for quite a while, but unfortunately the movie has been postponed for a few months. We realized here that we have so many shot movies in the can (as they say…lol) that we need to get those products out before we start shooting more and getting far behind. UGHHHH!!! It’s a bit disappointing because I had the best cast and location…but I spoke with all the boys and men and they are good to shoot for me in the fall. They even said that they can be bigger and hairier by then!!! Good!! We will have big muscled bears for CUB SCOUTING! It also gives me some more time to really plan how sick and twisted I can make the bears in the woods!!! LoL
So I was at Golds Gym in Hollywood where I train and I realized that it is an absolute mecca for gay porn stars. I took a pic of a couple for you to see that I’m right, but I think there are more porn stars then regular guys there. Besides Eric York and Alessio Romero, Blake Riley, Johnny Hazzard, Colt cover man Chris Wide, Aaron Ridge, Tyler Saint, Lex Baldwin, Eduardo, Corey Jay, and Zak Spears can all be seen th…
PS Blog
Well I just got back from a fabulous weekend in Palm Springs…I guess my own version of after white party! I was able to help out my friend Chi Chi on her movie RASCAL – A TOY STORY and we got a whole bunch of hot new guys in our stable of stars like sexy fisting bottom Jackson Lawless and hot latin stud Manny Max! It’s great to be in Palm Springs shooting. Everything is laid back, the airport is small and close and the weather was perfect!
Channel 1 has its warehouse in Palm Springs and we were able to utilize that great facility. I think we used every type of toy possible in this movie…from Blake Riley fucking his own ass to the Black Balled Dildo that Jackson took amazingly!!!
Make up artist (and ex-porn stud) Rob Kirk and I went to dinner one night at one of my favorite place,: The Cheesecake Factory on the river. I love me some spinach and artichoke dip and a nice turkey burger (so that I feel at least somewhat healthy) when I eat there. We walked around the river and looked at all the great shops which mainly consisted of more food! We went to this great skin specialty store and I was horrified when t…
A Day at Venice Beach Blog
This weekend my boyfriend Danny (aka Danny Bare on dvd production credits) and I decided to enjoy the amazing summer weather at my favorite place in the world…the beach!! When I commit to going to Venice Beach I make an entire day of it. When I’m alone I love to lay out and bake my skin, and then go into the water, but since Danny has no interest in that and wanted to ride bikes along the beach…we needed to compromise.
I woke up Saturday and got ready to go to golds gym Venice which has the title “The Mecca of Body Building.” I believe this is true. Lots of the men and women that lift in that gym are in competition form, so of course I’m not only in awe at these magnificent bodies, but I’m a little jaded that I’m not getting my body to that level which I so desire. After a grueling workout I take a shower and walk over to the beach boardwalk. The weather was so nice and everyone was out!
If you don’t know Venice Beach it’s quite the place to people and freak watch! There are tons of fortune tellers, vendors, musicians and my favorite thing…muscle boys working out on Muscle beach!!!! Danny saw an old …
Not at White Party Blog
So, there was a couple major events this weekend. The first was the White Party in Palm Springs. It seems like everyone from Channel 1 from Chi Chi to Jeremy Bilding was there in some capacity. I heard Lady Gaga, who I really really cant stand was performing and that it was the most crowded (crowds…I also hate them) that the party has been for years (so much for bad economy). I hear that folks were drinking and carrying on all hours and that the hotel lobby was quite a site from Thursday on. I missed all of this excitement in order to stay here and receive my seven year AA and NA birthday cakes! Happy birthday to me!!! That is the second and more important event!
Saturday my boyfriend and I worked out and then he took me to my most favorite get away spot, the Sherman Oaks Galleria! I got to do all of my favorite mall things which included going through the Macy’s Children’s and bed linen sections on the ground level (why I like this, I have no idea),
checking out the stores that are coming, and eating in the food court. Yes that’s right, my favorite thing is to eat at mall food courts, as you can tell from…
