I was about to go home after an exhausting day at work when the doorbell rang. Orchids. The sweet smell of purple orchids and my name written on a small envelope. Deep breath. No one’s ever sent me flowers before. Who's it from? A phone call. His voice on the other end of the line. An invitation to dinner and a movie.
He picked me up in a convertible. A quick drive to the theater. No, he wouldn’t let me pay. Not for the tickets, not for the popcorn, not for the French food or the California wine. He was shy, sweet, attentive. A gentleman who drove me home and parked the car so he could walk me to the door. A hug, a kiss on the cheek, a bashful smile. A date with a porn star.
From ..."The Color Purple"
Shug Avry: I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple and don't notice it.
Celie: You saying it just want to be loved.
Shug Avery: Yes, Celie, everything want to be loved.
Are YOU taking notice Ethan, everything just want to be loved ... even Porn Stars.

sounds like a fabulous date! wow

being one of your faithful readers, i think there are enough "clues" (comments posted) for even someone like ME to figure out WHO your mystery "adult film star" date was with...my real question is: now that your dating someone so 'perfect,' am i still going to be able to connected and relate to your entries and continue to feel 'alright' with my own life and world (nyc) ?!
perhaps you (both) could consider allowing one of your "fans" to tag along on a "double-date" sometime ? that is, IF there are anymore "porn stars" that are still single out there...?
ps - once you have had the 'blue-balls' for as long as i have...they do start to turn "purple"...

As a rule, I don't date club promoters, porn actors, or guys named Chad.
No offense to anyone named Chad. I just have bad associations with that name.

Apparently after I bump off this guy you went on the date with I either need to change my name to Walter, (trying to remember everyone's real name on set to see if any were Walter so can try and get a two for one deal with the asassin) or go out with Roy!
Posted by: Chad Hunt | July 28, 2005 at 01:28 PM
I vote for the latter Chad! Bring it!
