[As with many of our “convention posts” this has somehow grown well beyond our initial complication expectations. If you don’t want to read the rest of D.Minion’s observations — or our editorial additions, for some inexplicable reason — you can just jump to the pictures below. You’ll be missing a lot of wonderfully entertaining exposé, however. Also, you’ll be missing the former host of Night Calls 411 in her new gig teaching people how to pole dance, and who knows what else. (We never read these stories before we’re all sitting down to provide the editorial blue. It makes for a fun time that way.) Finally, for now, we’re pausing with one of those fun times that happen when DM takes video. According to her, the motivation for this clip came from her desire to shoot “Ron Jeremy” at the convention. We should tell you that if you look closely, you can sort of see Ron in the clip too.]

** STEPHANIE SWIFT STORY:

So over the years there have been quite a few women in the industry that we tend to help a lot when we can, even though they have never been “risqué clients” per se. Since you understand that we’re wonderfully adept at transitions, you have probably figured out that Stephanie falls into that category.

OK. So back a few eons ago, Devinn Lane left our little group somewhat — for our purposes here, let’s call it rather inauspiciously. We had negotiated her first season on Playboy TV’s 7Lives Xposed, and we were just about to begin production of season two, that negotiation having been concluded too. Well, depending on the strength of your risqué history, you might remember that Playboy TV’s Night Calls, starring another risqué client, Juli Ashton, happened to be at a point somewhere around its height of popularity at that time too. Even though Playboy always tried to mimic “regular” cross-promotion techniques by using characters from one show to appear on another one, for some time after the Devinn exodus we hadn’t actually approved her popping by Night Calls — regardless of how wonderful that might (or might not) have been for Playboy. (And we can assure you that network executives took great pains to explain to us how wonderful promoting 7Lives and its star on Night Calls would be for just everyone concerned.) Still, seeing as how strong Juli’s Night Calls contract happened to be, it turns out that we didn’t have to agree, and we didn’t even have to give a reason. Handy little clause, that.
