Venus De Light Innerview Continued... "We were all topless, driving right in front of Madison Square Garden, yelling, 'Censor this Tipper Gore!'" Well, I took advantage of that fact and went around [topless] (it was during the Democratic National Convention, in New York City), when this law was passed. I was working at a club there. So, I got a truck and some of the hot looking girls from the club, and we got a bunch of T-shirts and free passes to the club, and put a big banner on the side of the truck. We were all topless, driving right in front of Madison Square Garden, yelling, "Censor this Tipper Gore!" Police officers were saluting us and we were passing out free passes and T-shirts. It was legal, it was ok. AINews: That's great! Venus: Only for about a day. They amended it to you can go topless in parks and beaches and places like that but not in Manhattan, which was where we were. But then of course, a couple years go by and now Gulianni is on a rampage to really change New York, and he comes in there and starts shutting down all the adult bookstores and adult nightclubs. They had a rule that you had to have 60/40. It had to be 60% general public viewing, 40% adult. What it did for the adult bookstores, was now all the other places that weren't adult, all of a sudden went, "Oh, great!, we can have 40% adult, in here. We'll make a fortune!" Just split up the pie so that all these people that have legitimate businesses there for fifty years are pretty much out of business. Now the places that pretty much have, you know, much broader general public viewing, now they're offering 40% adult. You can go anywhere now to get adult material. Which is good for everybody, but bad for the people that have been in the business for, you know, FOREVER. And that is their livelihood. They took away so many peoples livelihood. It's not even funny. And I was working at another, different club there, during this period with the Gulianni thing going on. A club that had been there again, 50 years. Flash Dancers. It's just a topless club. It's very clean. I mean, physically it is dirty, but clean (Laughs) as far as entertainment goes. It was actually a really filthy club. Unsanitary, let's say. The new statutes have pretty much ruined their business completely. And they also had to be within 500 feet from a resident or a church or school . Well a lot of the residences are right above all the stores, and businesses in New York City. So that pretty much closed down a lot of people, right off the bat. They opened up a church/ learning annex, across the street, from Flash Dancers. It's not even a real church or a real school, it's just an annex thing. So then that qualified for being within 500 feet, even though the church/ learning annex opened up a couple of years ago. When Gulianni started doing all this and Flash Dancers has been there over fifty years. AINews: Flash Dancers isn't there anymore? Venus: No, it's there, they're fighting it. Every thing is still being fought. AINews: OK good. So they were there first, so the church has to move. Venus: I would think so, or put up with it. Or agree to it, I guess. Why doesn't anyone ever take into consideration the fact that religion has killed and tortured more people than Hitler? This is supposed to be a good thing? I'll take porno over that anyday! AINews: They knew Flash Dancers was there when they moved in. Venus: Of course they knew! This is precisely why they did it! There is stuff like this going on all over the country. One of the reasons why I changed my focus to my websites and video work and modeling as opposed to touring. AINews:
Speaking of the Internet, what are your Internet sites? You have got
a few of them, don't you? Venus: Yes I do! I have www.venusdelight.com which is called Venus' Playhouse. It's my personal site, but it is also a full blown adult site. Its got hundreds top adult stars and models with several photo galleries, bios and live videos performances of each girl in my Models Pages. Then I have my Star Box Gallery, which features new centerfolds monthly Stars like Jenna Jameson, Playboy's Karin Taylor and International Playmate of the Year Chantale, Marilyn Star, Goldie Star and many more including some hot new up and comers too. A nice variety. In my Girlfriends' Gallery, I have sections like "Hot Asses", "Centerfolds", "Big Boobs", "Porn Stars", " Babydolls" "Black Babes", and all the different categories. And then I have my personal stuff, which is in My Photos. It has approx. 1100 exclusive photos in there, and my diary, and my magazine covers, layouts, videos, and biography, backstage photos, On the road photos, pics with celebrities etc.. And
then I have my "Cat Fight Corner" a specialty section with
photos from my catfight tapes and behind the scene AINews: The other Web Sites? Venus: Ok. My other adult site is an all live interactive site. http://www.Stripper2000.com . It's all live strippers, big name porn stars like Nina Hartley, Julia Parton, Becky Sunshine, Jacklyn Lick, Jasmine Raff, and me every month! two girl shows, centerfolds, solo girls, up close pussy cam, and then we have transsexuals, and we have a gay section Again it also offers a huge catalogue of 20,000 xxx videos. It offers 24/7 chat, Personals ads, Some xxx photo galleries, it is mainly concentrated on live streaming video and is more personal and interactive. My third site is a non-adult site. Its called http://www.abook.com , The place to get a book and a whole lot more! It's got about ten million products. You can get everything from a book to a Monet. I mean seriously! You can get computers, computer equipment, electronics, software, hardware, you can get camping gear, sporting goods, gifts, fan memorabilia, music, videos, games, artwork, toys everything! It also offers an auction site where you can post your items or find what you want at auction prices. I do all my shopping there! It's really easy. Great customer service, super fast delivery. I mean if it's in stock it's there right away. It's a really good site, if I do say so myself. It is. It's just that I don't have any marketing dollars so nobody knows about it. But it's got everything. Anything and everything you could possibly want and it is an easy to find format. I am really proud of that site. I also just created a new site at http://www.discountedtickets.com which is a travel site for booking discounted airfare, hotels, and car reservations. It's very easy to navigate and get low prices for your travel needs. AINews: Do you have clothes? Venus: Clothing, everything. AINews: Costumes? Venus: Not costumes per se, but because of the auction site you could probably find that too! If you don't find it with the regular retail stuff, click on auctions, its like Ebay. Go through and find all kinds of stuff. AINews: And that's all of your sites? Venus: Yes, Venus' Playhouse is at www.venusdelight.com , Stripper2000 is at www.stripper2000.com , and a Book.com is at www.abook.com. and Discounted Tickets is www.discountedtickets.com. Of course you can get to my Venus' Playhouse site by using www.thevenuscam.com or www.landovenus.com or www.myspycam.com and even www.honestbuys.com! But I REALLY want to include www.isex.cc, you have to see it! AINews: Ok, cool. Venus: You know what the people from the Midwest say, at least from my area. "Oh yeah" [with a definite Fargo like accent pronounced yaw] That's where I'm from. Minnesota. AINews: Oh, you're from Minnesota? The land of a thousand lakes? Do you like to fish? Venus: It's 10,000 lakes not a thousand. They counted them and it's really over 10,000 lakes! I haven't fished for years, but I used to. I liked it a lot. I even caught one once. It's not about catching fish for me, it's about going out on the boat with your fishing rod and just sitting there in the sun and kicking back. Communing with the dragon flies, all stoned out. That's to me what fishing is. (Laughs) AINews: Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man how to fish and he will sit in a boat all day and drink beer. Venus: (Laughs) I've heard that before. That's a good one. It's true. AINews: But with me, I'll take a bunch of fruit in my backpack and everything I need for a couple of days, and I'll live on fruit and fish. Venus: That's awesome, that's the best, I love that. I love camping out, and hiking. AINews: I'll go up to about 11,000, 12,000 feet up to Palisades glacier. Venus: I just went up to the Sedonia this past Memorial Day weekend. Talk about healing. You don't even realize your soul is sick until you get away from the city and you are out in the mountains hiking around and jumping into streams. You feel this energy, it's like a salve for the soul. seeping in through you eyes, you can feel it. And then you get out in it, it's just like "WOW!" I slept like a baby, I've been sleeping like a baby for two weeks now. It's basically been since Memorial Day. It was great. I haven't had a vacation in two years. I didn't realize how much I desperately needed one. AINews: I'm trying to organize a talent only trip, industry only trip, up to Palisades Glacier. Sometime in mid August. It's [the glacier] at 12,500 feet. And it's a hard climb, but it is SO beautiful up there! Venus: When you say a hard climb are you talking about using rock climbing equipment and what not, to get there or just hiking? AINews: Just rugged hiking. The last 500 feet is boulder hopping. You really should go with somebody. Last year I went with someone who pooped out after the first day and stayed at base camp. I went the rest of the way alone Which isn't advisable. Venus: No, that is probably somewhat dangerous. AINews: Yes, it was, but I get off on dangerous things sometimes. Venus: I usually go on roller coasters when I get in that mood. They have a new one at Cedar Point, Ohio. It's a brand new roller coaster, it's supposed to be the biggest, fastest, baddest roller coaster in the world, bar none. A friend of mine that I met on the Internet bought stock in this place and sent me all this information. He was there for the opening. It opened about a month ago, but they had to shut down. People were getting nose bleeds, throwing up and passing out. A lot of people. So that is probably a little, somewhat scary. (Laughs!) AINews: I called up someone named Tricia Brown today. Evidently, you are a singer. "But the guys would tolerate it, I mean, they would say oh, you're a good singer, but you could tell they really were like, 'Why is she singing? just take off your clothes!'" Venus: Yes, I have sung professionally. In Playboy's Girls of Rock and Roll in Las Vegas at the Maxim. I sang in Minski's Burlesque at the Hacienda. I sang in Hot Lips, which is just exactly like the Crazy Girls Show, same producer, same everything, different name. At the old Paddle Wheel, which then became Debbie Reynolds' Casino. I don't know what it is now. And also at the Riviera Hotel & Casino a couple of times. I used to sing once in a while in my show on the road. Usually the only person that really wanted me to do it was the club owner. It was like, "Oh, I love the way you sing!" But the guys would tolerate it, I mean, they would say oh, you're a good singer, but you could tell they really were like, "Why is she singing? just take of your clothes!" (Laughs!) They weren't at a strip bar to hear a broad SING! (Laughs) But then you know, I would joke and say well, if you want me to take my clothes off (Laughs!) But the sound systems were atrocious. So I only did it a few times. One of the clubs it was really successful at was the Admiral Theatre in Chicago. Wonderful club. One of the best in the country, in my opinion. They put on a real show there. It is a real stage. It's got backdrops, props, and real dressing rooms. The girls, even house dancers, bring in choreographers and put on real shows. The girls there all say it's one of the only places in the adult business around like this. So, it's got like the cream of the crop girls there. They're talented, they're beautiful, and they are enjoying their job. Because they are being treated like real entertainers and not a piece of meat, or someone to pay the clubs. That's what dancers are considered now by club owners. They are almost considered like patrons, because the club owners are making more money off the dancers then they are off the customers. It is just terrible the way dancers are treated now, it makes me sick! It makes me sick that the business has changed into that! That the value of a woman's body has become so cheapened that for five bucks or something, they will come back and grind down in their lap. In Canada, nude for five bucks, Canadian. What's that about 3.50 US? AINews: Nude? It's $20 bucks for a lap dance here and if they take off their top, I think it's thirty. It's usually for two songs. Venus: But then the club gets half of that. Anyway, it didn't used to be about sitting in a guys lap naked, it was about fantasy, it was about beauty, beyond respect, it was more like worship. If a woman did a show and took her clothes off, guys were sending flowers back to her dressing room. I remember, I came at the tail end of those days. Right when they were starting table dancing. When I heard that girls were paying to work at a club, I was shocked! I was like, "What?!" It didn't make any sense to me at all. How can they do that? How can they not realize the value of what they are offering. So the fantasy is gone and the reality is never as good as the fantasy. It is a good reality, but I think that what striptease is all about is fantasy. It's changed. However, thank God there are still the feature dancers in the business, and they are like the last of that burlesque talent. The only original American art form that we have. That's what is left of it, is the feature entertainer. AINews: The last place I remember having burlesque is the Body Shoppe, down in Hollywood. Venus: Are you kidding? That's where I started. It's still there? AINews: I haven't been there since it went nude. Venus: They went nude? Really? AINews: Yes. Venus: Well the guy that used to own it, Jamal, he was a real magic fan. He always wanted to be a magician, so he would bring in these magicians every week. It really gave it kind of a cabaret atmosphere. Lance Burton, who now has his own show room at the Monte Carlo, who got that 100 million dollar contract, Jamal hired him. Brought him out from Kentucky. We fell in love and had a hot and heavy romance on and off for about six years and then finally broke up. He married Melinda, the first lady of magic, on the rebound about three months after we split up. They were divorced within a year and right after they got divorced he got a hundred million dollar contract from Steve Wynn (laughs) so you know it's kind of funny. We're still friends and I'm just glad that he got the divorce first. Especially with a six month marriage, you realize you made a mistake. Venus: I really ramble don't I? AINews: It's perfect.. And the crunching of the crab legs is good too. [We then had been served and were eating.] |
