S2. Ep. 12 She's Got a Future in Pictures! ft. Chi Chi LaRue
We caught up with Chi Chi LaRue for a very special Pride episode. We asked her all about her assent to greatness in the porn industry over the past 38 years, including her first lesbian sex inquiry and her secret process for the difficult work of capturing boners on film long before computers OR Viagra! We spend some time talking about those we have loved and those we have lost, including Joey Stefano and his lasting resonance and the sheer obsession that many still hold for the beauty boy. This episode is a bit of a sweet tribute to our loved ones in the adult film industry and to the future of porn!
Chi Chi tells us about her recovery and we find out what Heklina would do for $2,000,000. This is an episode not to be missed. Happy Pride!
