Of Love And Flesh

DEEP INSIDE JOHNNY FORD’S “PORN HOUSE”

With nicknames like

“the porn house,” “a gay

frat” and “the Broners,”

a certain house in

the heart of L.A. has

developed quite a fun

reputation with the local

gay community. The

small house intended for

USC students was the

perfect find when Johnny

Ford wanted to start his

independent gay porn

brand, Of Love And Flesh

(OfLoveAndFlesh.com).

But Johnny didn’t realize

how essential it would

become for their little gay

family.

Johnny Ford worked for

years in gay nightlife,

notably the Adonis clubs

in NYC and L.A. But

when it came to starting

porn, he found a unique

opportunity with other

pornstar friends who

needed a new living

situation.

Four out of six potential

roommates were gay

adult models, so they

decided to find a house.

It worked out great for

roommates to make

independent content

together or openly shoot

all over the house. You can

see different areas of the

house on the sites for Of

Love And Flesh, Johnny

Ford, Quin Quire, Austin

X, and Isaac Parker.

The last member, Isaac

Parker, joined the group

in the late winter of

2020. They all went out

to celebrate on a fateful

Saturday night in March

(and rumor has it they

shot some juicy content at

West Hollywood’s Fubar).

Little did they know that

was the last night out for

a while; the very next day

came the announcement

of the sweeping national

Covid-19 shutdowns.

Restrictions prevented

any studios from

gathering anyone from

different households

for a shoot, so the porn

studios looked for models

living together and came

to Johnny and the porn

house.

Studios sent scripts,

lighting notes and

wardrobes and had

them blocking out the

different positions. With

connections to a handful

of studios, Johnny and

his team shot 11 studio

scenes in two months at

home, when no studio

shoots were allowed.

And that’s not to mention

the constant stream of

ongoing independent

content.


“My roommate

could walk into the

kitchen to make

lunch and I’m on

the counter serving

a different kind of

lunch. It became

our normal,” Johnny

explains, grinning.

The studios are

shooting again, but

things are going

slowly and the

future is always

uncertain. For now,

Johnny is proud of

what he’s built and

everything they’ve

struggled through

together.

“My goal was to

make a socially

conscious gay

porn brand,” he

explains. “I want

everyone to enjoy

the eroticism of

our animal nature,

but you gotta

enjoy porn only as

a fantasy and not

something to give

you unrealistic

expectations or

insecurities. I

try to bring that

conversation with

the content and

support LGBT

charities out of the

business as well.

That’s all we can

do while trying to

survive.”

CELEBRITY CORRESPONDENT

MORGAN

FAIRCHILD

“LIVE IN THE

FANROOM”

On February 21 @ 5PM EST,

please join iconic actor

Morgan Fairchild in the

FanRoom Live for a virtual meet and greet. There, Ms.

Fairchild will intimately be able to talk about various topics

that her fans wish to bring up. It’s kind of like meeting her

at her own private party. Following her meet and greet,

fans can also secure VIP backstage passes and hang out

with Morgan on an even more intimate one-on-one basis.

You can also get a copy of your event.

Morgan Fairchild began her acting career in the 1970’s

on the daytime soap opera Search for Tomorrow. She is

recognized for appearing in an episode of Dallas and for

her lead role in the series Flamingo Road, for which she

received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a

Television Series Drama. She also appeared on Paper Dolls,

Falcon Crest, Murphy Brown and Roseanne. She is also an

AIDS advocate.

Ms. Fairchild and I discussed FanRoom Live as well as her

career and her future projects.....


Hello, Morgan. It’s such

a great opportunity

for your fans to get to

meet you in FanRoom

Live. What are you most

looking forward to?

It’s always fun to explore

the possibilities in a new

format, and doing virtual

shows instead of in-person

is certainly new for me.

And I am SO bad at tech!

I’m very curious to hear

what kinds of topics will

interest my fans.

What can your fans

look forward to in the

FanRoom Live? What are

you hoping to talk about

once inside?

I’ll try to get as glammed

up as I can from home,

so they are not too

disappointed. Wouldn’t

want to scare small

children! LOL! I’m hoping

to hear what topics they

are interested in. I’ve been

doing this for a long time,

so there are lots to pick

from.

The world shifts around

us and we have to shape

ourselves to fit. Although

the FanRoom seems

like an innovative and

immersive way to do so,

how else have you been

attempting to fit?

I’ve been doing Cameos

and Zooms and trying

to learn new tech ways

to interact. Also, I’ve

tried to use my Twitter

and Instagram accounts

to cheer people up by

posting pics from my

walks each day of flowers,

Halloween and Christmas

lights, occasional videos

of encouragement. And

I’ve been touched that

my posts seem to mean

a lot to folks trying to get

through all this crazy time.

You’ve portrayed many

glamorous “rich bitch”

roles in some of the

most popular series on

the planet. How hard

did you have to work

at authenticating those

roles and how close or

far apart were they from

the actual “you?”

I’m actually a puppy dog

from Texas, so playing

bitches has always been

a stretch for me. But I’ve

had success at it because

I have no fear of the

audience hating me. Most

actors want to be loved,

but I realized early on

that I could play bitches

and make them funny,

so people hated me and

loved me!! I made them

laugh.

Have you had your

ultimate stage fantasy,

and if so, what was it?

I’d love to play Eleanor

of Aquitaine in The Lion

in Winter. But I did love

playing Mrs. Robinson in

the national tour of The

Graduate!

Do you recall a moment

that changed the

trajectory of your life?

Seeing Rudolf Nureyev

and Margot Fontaine in

the ballet of Sleeping

Beauty when I was a

teenager inspired me to

move to New York City

and seek a different life

than I might have had in

Dallas. Also, a friend told

me to go see a movie

called Morgan--A Suitable

Case For Treatment when

I was 16. It’s about a man

who lives in his fantasies

INTERVIEW

and thinks he’s a gorilla.

(Vanessa Redgrave got her

first Oscar nomination for

it). She told me, “It’s you”.

And it was!! I lived in my

fantasies because I didn’t

fit in in the high school

football culture at the

time. And she was right. It

was me! I even renamed

myself Morgan because

of it.

If you could have me

ask you any question in

the world, what would it

be and how would you

answer?

You could ask what

many of my Twitter and

Instagram followers have

asked me: How do you

stay “up” during these

crazy times? And I would

tell you that I have had

such a bizarre life that

I learned early on...

Life goes on….and I will

survive this. The secret is

putting one foot in front of

the other and not letting

yourself live in fear.

Advice taken! What

projects are you engaged

in for 2021 and beyond?

I have a pilot called

Melange that we shot

earlier and are waiting for

things to open up from

COVID to start production.

My producer/writer, Tom

D’Angora, has also just

spearheaded an effort to

save the West Bank Cafe

(successfully!) and is now

doing a fundraiser to save

Birdland. And I’m doing a

lot of Cameos, one of the

things I can do from home

until this blows over.

SKIN DEEP

Justin Ultey’s New Single, “Underneath My Skin,”

is about heartache, betrayal, and the feelings that

linger long after the final goodbye of a lost love.

Justin Utley’s newest single from

Scars departs from the rock and

roll feel of the album. “Underneath

My Skin” is a deeply personal and

emotional song; more theatrical

and packed with passion. It is

about heartache, betrayal, and the

feelings that linger long after the

final goodbye of a lost love.

Utley likens it to an Adele track.

“It’s based on an experience I

had that was so intense that the

only way I could express the pain

accurately was through music.

I think the song resonates with

anyone who has been at the

difficult end of a relationship’s

rope, forced to finally cut ties with

a love you thought would last.”

“I remember writing the song and

bringing it into the studio the next

day saying that I needed to add it

to the album,” he continues. “My

producer and I were so frustrated

because we were down to the wire

toward the release date for Scars;

the album needed to be finalized

and delivered to the label. I sang

through “Underneath My Skin”

and my producer sat quietly before

admitting, ‘yeah, this needs to

make it on the record.’”


The music video for “Underneath My

Skin” was directed by Christopher

Lee and filmed at Twig Media Lab

Studios in Salt Lake City. It was

Justin’s idea to paint the song’s lyrics

all over his body.

“I love the end product and how

everything came together,” he

says. “It makes me hopeful that our

communities, too, will finally come

together in 2021 and that we will be

able to celebrate once again. I look

forward to being able to resume

traveling and performing. I so miss

the connection and energy of a live

audience.”

Justin Utley is best known for “Stand

for Something,” a single he released

in June 2010 that inspired action

towards securing LGBTQ marriage

equality in the United States. The

single was nominated by the LGBTQ

Academy of Recording Arts for 4

OutMusic Awards, including Best

Songwriter and Artist of the Year. It

won Best Country/Folk Song of the

Year.

Scars is Utley’s third studio album. It

is one of the most heartfelt, brutally

honest, thought provoking and

vulnerable collection of songs he

has ever produced and it has been

embraced by fans. The pop-single

“Survivors” has now passed 100,000

plays on Spotify, and the four videos

from the album have received over a

million views combined.

Justin Utley’s “Underneath My Skin” is available on Apple Music,

Spotify and all digital platforms, along with the entire Scars album. Visit

Justin Utley’s website @ Justinutley.com. Follow him on Instagram @

JOHN DUFF

PUMPS UP THE JAM

John Duff’s “Do It” may harken

back to early 2000’s house music

but its message is pertinent today.

It is a call-to-action to the many

people who are afraid to pursue

their dreams out of fear of public

perception. “As a thirty-oneyear-old

gay man making music, I

understand the optics. ‘Are people

going to laugh at me?’ Probably...

but then I don’t lose anything if

they do. If I give up, however: I do

lose something. I lose time, I lose

opportunity.”

The song’s verses are a series of

questions we should all be asking

ourselves. Am I living in my authentic

truth? Am I actively playing a

positive role in my own destiny?

What do I have to lose? Who is

stopping me?

Says Duff, “I have a lot to prove -

but only to myself. I’m a science

experiment. I am here to prove that

I can keep coming out, falling on

my face, and surviving. I’m here to

prove that the human soul is more

resilient than plastic.”


The “Do It” video was shot at his own

home. “Essentially, I told the crew

to come over and film me for a day.

I wanted it to feel carefree and fun,

like life should be. When I was a kid,

I would sit alone in my basement all

day learning songs and dancing with

laser lights and fog machines. The

video was a way for me to get in

touch with that part of my self.

“One thing these months of

quarantine have taught me is that I’m

happy in solitude. I really only want

to come out of my room to perform.

That’s all I live for. Socializing is

draining, monotonous, and boring.”

John Duff grew up in a suburb

outside of Baltimore, Maryland.

After graduating college, he made

his way to NYC where he competed

on The X Factor. He lost because the

judges felt he was too flamboyant.

Simon Cowell even implied that he

should consider a sex change.

He hopes “Do It” will motivate

listeners to do something good for

themselves. “Maybe they’ll hear

it and think, ‘Ugh, that guy is so

annoying,’” Duff reflects. “Whatever

emotion they get from the song,

I hope they feel it to the fullest. Is

there anything worse than leaving no

impression?”

John Duff’s “Do It” is being distributed

independently and is available on Apple Music,

Spotify and all digital platforms. Its video is available

on YouTube.

JACK TRACY’S ROARING ‘20S

The indie-pop star and Sherry Vine Bring

Back the Nightlife in “Love Yah”

Jack Tracy paints a fantasy of

post-pandemic nightlife with

the help of drag icon Sherry

Vine in the video for his new

song, “Love Yah.”

The dance track, with its

funky vibe, was penned by

Tracy while he was feeling

isolated due to months spent

in quarantine. “I imagined

myself finally going out,

letting loose and blowing some steam,” he explains. “I’m currently single,

but for the song, I gave myself a man who worries I’d get caught up in

the nightlife and not come back home. He needn’t be concerned. I’m very

considerate to my fictional boyfriends!”

The single is the title track from Tracy’s soon-to-be-released Love Yah EP.


INTERVIEW

Hi, Jack. You’ve been busy since

the pandemic!

I have recorded nearly 30 new songs

during quarantine. Love Yah is

meant to give a sample of the types

of songs I’ve put together. “Love

Yah” and the next single, “Don’t

Compare,” lead the album as the

dance tracks. The EP then slides

into anthemic Prince before moving

to some moody vibes and then

concluding with my ‘90s-style pop

ballad.

The “Love Yah” music video

imagines a post-pandemic NYC.

I wanted to portray the first day of a

new roaring ‘20s.

You also squeeze in a message

about the need for vaccination.

I’ve heard a lot of talk from people

who don’t trust the vaccine--even

healthcare workers declining to

take the vaccine, despite it being

available to them. It sends a terrible

message to the rest of us. I wanted

to combat that selfish thinking and

do something that would encourage

everyone to get vaccinated as soon

as legally available so that we can get

out of this nightmare sooner rather

than later.

One of NYC’s and L.A.’s favorite

drag queens, Sherry Vine, stars in

the video with you.

Sherry and I met when we were

paired as partners in a cardio-boxing

class a few years ago. She has been

a sounding board and mentor to me

since I began making music. We

were always looking for a way to work

together, and when she reached

out to say how much she enjoyed

my pandemic-era web series, Dying

Alone, Together, I thought of writing

a similar scenario for her. In the video,

Sherry serves as the host of Drag

News, announcing that 80% of the

US has finally been vaccinated and

nightlife has reopened.

The video also features lots

of merchandise from popular

podcasts.

I’ve spent most of my pandemic

listening to podcasts like Trixie &

Katya’s Bald and the Beautiful and

Alaska and Willam’s RaceChaser. This

is my shoutout to them.

And as always, Janet Jackson

references are sprinkled

throughout.

A Jack Tracy video wouldn’t be a

Jack Tracy video without a nod to Ms.

Jackson.

All proceeds from “Love Yah” will go to

the funding of Season 4 of Jack Tracy’s

popular History web series.
