[ R'dom News Reloaded] A little Coal 4 Fetish XXX-Mas...GwenMedia too bite big one in 2010
GWENMEDIA TO "BITE IT"?
Dec. 3 2009
Well it is finally public that Gwen Media is basically now over. John
Fitzgerald has finally come back out to the public and basically said
that while he will only occasionally produce and release new content.
Fitzgerald stated quite clearly on his (former ?) website that he is
NOT working on any fetish stories or film products reliably anymore by
his statement of "I've struggled to find the time to keep it updated,
much less write new stories. I felt perhaps it was time to take my
site down for good, but I still hesitated to do so." (thndrshark.com -
Nov 9, 2009)
And as far as his films are concerned -- "Also note that any new John
Fitzgerald films will be announced on Mz Berln's
blog" (thndrshark.com - Nov 9, 2009) indicating that any new films
will be produced by Berlin's company, effectively ending any former
partnerships that existed.
True, this announcement is NOT a definite statement of "I am no longer
working with any company other than Mz Berlin from this point
forward". But if Fitzgerald was still effectively producing with
others and doing such production on any regular basis, he would NOT be
making a point of announcing such an exclusive arrangement nor his
statement of .time limitations.
I admit I was looking forward to the rumors that "Ivy Manor" and
"Sisters" would be continued in 2010. But realistically I knew that
was a VERY, VERY rare chance at best as Sinclaire has been and
currently is seeking mainstream acting opportunities as evident by her
recent national commercial for "Wonderful Pistachios", because most
entertainment contracts contain what are generally referred to "Public
conduct" and "Morals" clause. These so-called Public Conduct" /
"Morals" clause are usually a restrictive provision in a contract that
prohibits certain behavior (typically that deemed to be actual
criminal (but usually BEYOND minor criminal acts such as traffic
violations but also "unethical" or "reprehensible" acts that the
company may be against that are not illegal such as making political
statements against the company's position) in that person’s private
life. These "Public Conduct" clauses allows a contracting party to
terminate the agreement if the other contracting party’s conduct is
detrimental to the hiring party’s interests, or otherwise diminishes
the value of the performance due under the contract.
And BDSM actions, when these acts are paid for, are listed in many
states TODAY are STILL listed as prostitution EVEN WHEN THE GENETALIA
ARE NOT TOUCHED AT ALL. And in several states when BDSM actions are
NOT paid for such BDSM acts are STILL listed as a CRIMINAL ACT usually
under the statutes of assault (3rd or 4th degree) as one can NOT
consent to allowing another person to directly hurt or engage in
actions that may result in damage to another person. It is the same
law/legal restraint that prevents "backyard wrestling" in most states.
Thus, I do NOT believe that Sinclaire would risk her still active
contract with "Wonderful Pistachios" versus the money she MAY get for
any films that she would release from her still yet to be released
stock at this time.
So while the company is not formally ended at this time, it seems very
unlikely that Gwen Media will be reactivating in 2010 with new product
given this recent announcement.
But as most of the fetish film consumers have long since abandoned
Gwen Media in favor of active producers who have had more focused
latex fetish product such as Bianca Beauchamp and Sandra of fetish-
live.com for photo work and abroad producers for film work including
Rubber Eva, I do not think this is a major loss at this point.

[Ship Rubber] 2010 AEBN VOD Awards -- Best BDSM movie nominees
--- And the nominees are --
"Desperate Housewives In Bondage" (Maxine X Productions, Inc.)
"Perversions of Lesbian Lust" (Madison Bound Productions)
"Vicious Vixxxens 6: Asphyxiating Ariel" (Julie Simone & Summer Cummings)
"The Portal 3: Steffy's Rubber Adventure" (GwenMedia)
"Punished For A Price 2" (Bondage Barrix)
Dear Readers,
For best overall structure (story, character, execution of story and
on-screen action) I easily see Julie Simone winning this category
though I admit Maxine X productions have been doing very well and
"Desperate Housewives In Bondage" is a solid film from the Canadian
producer.
Madison Young's "Perversions of Lesbian Lust" is a solid lesbian story
of female on female desire and the longing for fulfillment of that
desire with a good on-screen execution of that base desire in a BDSM
focus. But is lesbian sexual interaction really a fetish today
despite the BDSM action? Or should it be considered a niche in the
same way that Asians and Blacks are now considered a niche rather than
a fetish as there are more than white male consumers in the USA
audiences. I cannot deny there is a definite attempt to intergrate
the depth of the relationship commitment though the proving of the
BDSM aspects. But again the BDSM action is NOT the focus of the story
in and of itself. The BDSM action is only a means for proving the
professions of love and devotion which of course many state should
never have to be done in a real relationship. The water torture is
the best example of BDSM action in the film as the film tries to
remain more realistic than indulgent. That will drive off a lot of
heavy BDSM consumers but again overall the core idea is the lesbian
lust than the BDSM desire which is a means of testing the depth of
loyalty and support of the other in the relationship. It is this type
of solid BDSM film that Madison seems to be focused on and whitesel so
as she is very good at it. The second entry in this series is far
more about mental surrender with public lesbian sex than this film but
a good execution of the core idea of the REAL BDSM relationship
commitment which most do not understand.
But does a good love story with BDSM action make it the best BDSM
film? Possibily, as many consumers are waiting the third entry of
this series and Madison has stated she IS planning on making a third
entry.
"Punished for a Price 2" from Bondage Barrix is the opposite of
Madison's film where the BDSM action and storyline is completely
indulgent. But the character and storyline of the film is poorly
executed. NO offense to bondage film star Dia Zerva but this is Sci-
Fi Channel monster movie of the week with BDSM action here. Don't get
me wrong if you want to turn off your brain and watch the power edge
as Sgt Major is known for -- and there is some good BDSM action to be
sure -- be my guest. But I expect higher quality and intensity than
shown in this SOLID BDSM executed film for the BEST BDSM film of the
year.
Which brings us to the so called "Finest in Fetish Entertainment".
Seriously? Portal 3 is thought to be the best BDSM for 2009 from every
producer? Portal 3 is supposed to be the best film just from Gwen
Media for 2009?
SERIOUSLY?
Be honest. Portal 3 is better than Captive? Portal 3 is thought to
be more powerful and has a more interesting story than Captive?
Portal 3 is suppose to have better execution than Mz Berlin's
sufferage? Look I understand if you are a fan of January Sereph but
was she the BEST BDSM performer of 2009? If so then why wasn't one of
HER company's (Smutty Films) films considered for this award? The two
reasons that this film got as high a vod amount was due to 1) Steffy's
formal film appearance with some hoping he would basically redo that
hot and heavy stage performance he did with Jean Bardot which he did
NOT do here and 2) this was rumored to be the last release from Gwen
Media.
As far as I am concerned this nomination was a sympathy vote for the
now retired Sinclaire in the idea that this IS the last of Gwen
Media. Even if that is true and despite the public note of Sinclaire
handing day to day operations over to JT Stockroom (sorry old habit as
I know JT left) there will be no NEW creations but only existing long
enough to get rid of existing stock of already recorded film product,
giving this film acknowledgement as the best film of the year for the
sympathy vote and hopes that she will return to active production in
the future if her mainstream pursuits fall through is the WORST reason
to give this film an award. NO award should be given an award that it
does NOT deserve, And this film does NOT deserve any award. Not for
any of the performer's on-screen action which were all good == yes I
already stated that I think Isabella was good in her ACTIVE indulgent
performance in this film but she was NOT best performer of the year by
any means -- nor for a storyline which is almost non existent, nor for
the abandonment of the latex fetish which is treated as ignorable
element throughout and the all too obvious ending.
Sinclaire left the industry by choice. So let her go. If she wants
to come back and actively produce she will. Don't think to insult her
and US -- the consumer base -- with this false enticement.
Yeah I could make a quick comment on the AVN Award announcement for
Gwen Media v3 as well right now beyond the obvious -- sympathy vote
for Isabella's retirement -- but I am thinking through the President's
speech as it has more impact for me right now. Maybe in a day or two.

Death on the Reeperbahn...
Death on the Reeperbahn...
Times are changing in Germany's most famous red-light district – and the brothels that thrived for decades are closing their doors. Tony Paterson reports on a sexual revolution
The inner sanctum of Hamburg's "Mile of Sin" looks as if it has been built to withstand a terrorist attack. Twelve-foot-high barricades block off both ends of the notorious Herbertstrasse brothel and large signs warn visitors: "Under 18s and women – Verboten!" Adult males have to squeeze through narrow doglegs in the barriers just to get into the street.
Past the barricades, about a dozen prostitutes in full pornographic regalia sit perched in narrow shop windows on shiny swivel chairs covered with Playboy towels. They look like kinky Barbie dolls. Each one has a little glass porthole in her window to help her negotiate with clients.
Last Tuesday at around 10pm the only punters on Herbertstrasse were two Asian men enjoying a fit of the giggles. They walked up and stared transfixed at the street's most spectacular exhibit – a full-blown Teutonic dominatrix in knee-high black leather boots, matching corset and a mane of hair that covered surreal breasts. The dominatrix did not bat an eyelid or even look up. She was too engrossed in the novel she was reading.
Controlled and legal prostitution – at least the kind that made Hamburg's Reeperbahn famous and profitable for decades – is dying in what still rates as one of the world's most famous red light districts. And if the scene witnessed on what is reputed to be the area's most titillating street brothel was anything to go by, even its practitioners have become bored with the idea of organised sex for sale.
The message was driven home explicitly less than a week ago with the announcement that Hamburg's oldest brothel is to shut down for good next month having provided an uninterrupted service for its clients for the past 60 years. Hotel Luxor is located in what could be described as the Reeperbahn's heart: a narrow side street called Grosse Freiheit or "Big Freedom". It is the street which was once home to the legendary Star Club that propelled the Beatles to fame. Nowadays it contains the only venue left in the city to feature live sex acts on stage.
Above the main entrance of Hotel Luxor an attempt is made to entice clients with a flickering neon sign that reads: "Pretty woman for happy nights." Upstairs the establishment is reminiscent of an Edwardian brothel: there is a small cocktail bar surrounded by acres of red plush and curtained-off niches with portraits hung on walls and flowers on little tables. A flight of stairs leading to rooms above is fenced off, with a sign saying "private hotel".
In the middle of this sex emporium stands Waltraud Mehrer, a petite woman in her sixties with bobbed blonde hair. She has been Hotel Luxor's madame for the past 21 years: "Yes many people see our closing as a sad development," she said, "But you can't make money by offering real sex on the Reeperbahn any more. I blame it on internet sex , the noisy discos and dance clubs and the popularity of call girl services."
The brothel had its heyday in the 1970s when demand was so high that it stayed open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and employed 12 prostitutes. Nowadays it employs four girls and is open four nights a week. The place will be shut down and put on the market from 1 April. "The only things up and running in the sex trade are the table-dance clubs. The discos on the street have ruined out business," said Ms Mehrer. "Men seem to prefer a hotel room and a call girl to a brothel these days," she added.
The Luxor's demise is reflected in police statistics. In the 1980s Hamburg St Pauli, the district in which the Reeperbahn is located, was home to more than 1,000 prostitutes. Many plied their trade at the district's famous six-storey Eros centre brothel which then counted as one of the biggest in Europe. The fear and spread of Aids forced the brothel to shut down in 1988. Today, Hamburg has fewer than 400 registered women on the game. Table dance clubs, which offer their clients table-top strip-tease and the chance of a quick grope at the stripper for an entrance fee of around €30 (£23) are the nearest equivalent to the city's once thriving brothels. Nowadays the Reeperbahn overflows with supermarkets, tacky discount sex shops offering such bizarre products as a beverage called "Cock a lada", transvestite clubs, cheap eateries and perhaps most significantly 99cent bars which give their teenaged customers the chance to get drunk for as little as €5.
The surge in teenage binge drinking had been accompanied by an alarming increase in violent street crimes, with up to 50 incidents of actual or grievous bodily harm reported in the area each weekend. More than 43 per cent of the perpetrators are under the age of 21. The police and city authorities have responded with CCTV surveillance cameras and last year they imposed a ban on weapons, including knives and baseball bats. Desperate to clamp down on the problem, the city is considering a blanket ban on alcohol being consumed on the Reeperbahn.
Just a few doors up from the doomed Hotel Luxor, drinkers still flock to Gretel and Alfons, a pub that the Beatles used to frequent virtually every night during their sojourn in Hamburg in the early 1960s. The bar is decorated with Beatles memorabilia including a glass case containing pint-sized models of them in their famous collarless suits and a bill which reveals that Paul McCartney only returned to pay the band's outstanding tab in 1998.
Patti, the pub's barmaid, looked back nostalgically to the days of the Fab Four. "Back then this place was the centre of the pop music business. There were loads of clubs which had new live bands playing every night," she said. "Now there are hardly any music clubs any more and the whole area is overrun at the weekends by teenagers who flock to the 99cent bars and get smashed," she added. Her views were echoed by Siggi, the 72-year-old doorman at the Safari club opposite. The club is Hamburg's last "live" establishment and its acts include a rendition of Fred and Wilma Flintstone indulging in Stone Age sex on stage. Siggi, who has worked at clubs on the Reeperbahn since 1951, said: "In the old days, there was no live striptease, only film of nice looking girls naked from the waist up. The whole atmosphere was different," he insisted.
Thirty years ago the venues around Siggi's club included a dance bar/brothel equipped with table telephones which enabled customers to ring up any prostitute they fancied, a miniature circus with a ring, prancing horses and animals that did tricks and perhaps most novel: an act that involved women wrestling in mud with the front row of the audience protected by a large rubber sheet pulled up to the neck. "That was in the Bikini Club," Siggi recalled. "Nowadays the street fills up with drunken kids who go and buy their food at Lidl and then throw up all over the pavement."
The Star Club, which attracted not only the Beatles but the likes of Cream, Chuck Berry and Ray Charles, closed its doors in 1969. The first attempts to cash in on the area's Beatles legacy was made in 2006 when a Hamburg radio station and the city government announced plans for a Beatles Square. Life-sized glass statues of the Beatles standing on a black stone circle in the form of an LP were meant to be a major tourist attraction coupled with a Beatles museum. Two years on the project has simply failed to materialise.
Critics blame Hamburg property developers such as Andreas Fraatz, the grandson of the former red light district "King", Willy Bartels, for the Reeperbahn's demise. Mr Fraatz reflects a trend that began in the 1990s when the city government began gentrifying sections of the St Pauli district. He is behind a €350m development project that includes 300 flats for high income earners and offices for a major advertising agency. He insists that the district's prospects will only improve if prostitution is left to die a natural death and the whole area is taken upmarket.
Few oppose Mr Fratz more vociferously that Karl-Hienz Böttrich-Scholz, an ex-Reeperbahn policeman and head of the St Pauli Preservation Society to which 200 of the district's businessmen belong. He is adamant that the area should stick to its pornographic traditions. "The Reeperbahn is the most important street in the world alongside 5th Avenue," he maintains. "International guests do not come to Hamburg for the seagulls, they come for the Herbertstrasse or to go to the Bums show," he added.
Yet probably the most significant reason for the Reeperbahn's seemingly terminal decline lies about a mile away on the opposite bank of the mud-brown river Elbe. The container port has more lights than the Reeperbahn and is busy round the clock round the year. There are plans to dredge the Elbe to accommodate bigger, deep draft container ships.
People like Siggi remember the Fifties and early Sixties when the streets of the Reeperbahn thronged with sailors because back in those days cargo ships took at least four or five days to unload which allowed their crews a run ashore every night. "These days the turnaround on the container ships is so quick that the crews often don't even get off," said Siggi.
To remind visitors of what those good old days were like, Hamburg has resurrected one of the old, slow-to-unload, cargo ships. The Cap San Diego is a beautiful white painted freighter which is kept in immaculate condition as a museum ship and visited by thousands of tourists each year. To complete the picture, a handful or so have been known to spend the evening on the Reeperbahn – before it disappears completely.

New Report Reveals the Depth of German Poverty
By TRISTANA MOORE / BERLIN Tristana Moore / Berlin

To many on the outside, Germany looks like a big, rich country enjoying the benefits of being Europe's largest economy. Inside, Germans know that looks can be deceiving. As in any nation, parts of Germany suffer from poverty, and Germans have always assumed they knew which parts: the west is rich and the east is poor. But a new report reveals the truth isn't that simple. The wealth imbalance in Germany isn't just between east and west; there are also large regional differences between the country's north and south. And across the country there are pockets of poverty more crushing than most Germans realized - and it's only getting worse.
Based on data taken before the recession hit, the new "poverty atlas" published by ParitÄtische Gesamtverband, an umbrella group for German charitable associations, and the Federal Statistics Office on May 18 is, according to the its authors, the first report to detail Germany's poverty levels and break the results down by region. It shows that in eastern Germany, for example, the average poverty rate is around 20%, with up to 27% of people in one area, Vorpommern, living below the poverty line. By contrast, in southern Germany, in the states of Hesse, Baden-WÜrttemberg and Bavaria, the poverty rate is around 11%. (See pictures of printing money in Germany.)
Chancellor Angela Merkel's home state, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, is the poorest region in Germany with a 24% poverty rate; one of the richest is the picture-postcard pretty Black Forest region, with a poverty rate of only 7.4%. According to the report, the massive gulf between rich and poor doesn't only exist between regions, but within them, too. The northern areas of the state of Bavaria have a poverty rate of 15%, more than double the 7% rate in Munich, in southern Bavaria.
The report also shows that the west and the north, regions commonly believed to be prosperous, actually hold some pockets of poverty. In places such as the city of Hamburg and the states of Lower Saxony, North Rhine Westphalia and Rhineland Palatinate, around 15% of people are living on a low income.
The authors of the report conclude that Germany is a deeply divided country in terms of income and wealth. "Poverty is on the rise," Ulrich Schneider, the head of ParitÄtische Gesamtverband, tells TIME. "Our poverty rates date from 2007, before the current economic crisis. Unemployment will rise this year so there's bound to be more poverty." In many towns in eastern Germany local factories have shut down and, since reunification, unemployment rates have climbed to 25% after an exodus of young people looking for work in the west - a far cry from those "blossoming landscapes" former Chancellor Helmut Kohl promised back in 1990. (Read "Kohl Wins His Way.")
Anyone who's living off less than 60% of the median household income is defined by the E.U. and the German government as living in poverty. In Germany, that's around $1,066 per month for a single person or $2,240 for a couple with one child. Some of the hardest hit by Germany's increasing poverty levels are children. It's estimated that there are more than 3 million German children living in poverty; in Berlin alone, up to 36% of all children are poor. "The gap between the rich and poor is wider than ever and more children have been plunged into poverty," says Bernd Siggelkow, a pastor who runs the Arche project in Berlin to help children in need. "People who claim state benefits are stigmatized by society and in the past children were simply forgotten by politicians."
Not surprisingly, the poverty atlas has reawakened the long-raging political debate over a national minimum wage.[ Rubberdom, says YES! ] Germany doesn't have a general legal minimum wage and only six sectors of the economy have a statutory rate - in the construction industry, for example, the minimum pay rate is between $12.50 and $18 an hour. Union leaders and politicians have been calling for a national minimum wage of $10.50 an hour, but Chancellor Merkel and her conservative party colleagues have refused to back down, saying a minimum wage could be counterproductive as jobs that pay less than the required minimum would be cut and that could lead to higher unemployment. "More and more people are on low wages earning less than $7 an hour," says Michael Pausder, spokesman for the VDK, an association that promotes equality for people in need. (See pictures of the former East Germany making light of its past.)
The authors of the new report say targeted measures are needed to tackle poverty and unemployment in the poorest regions, but they admit there's no magic bullet. As the recession bites ever deeper, and with a general election coming in September, German policymakers will have to wake up to the nation's growing poverty problems - and fast.

DAS KINK : From Zurich with love...

RUBBERDOM DEA DONATELLA MEETS GEORGE
(Part 1)
The Zurich I left behind was grey and cold. Montreux was milder. I felt calmer and relaxed as I drove up to the Le Montreux Palace Hotel, ready to meet George, a client I’d known for a while.
The hotel’s Belle Époque architecture had an old world charm. I liked it.
A hotel doorman stepped smartly up to my car and opened the door for me. I swung my legs out, the side slit in my knee length pencil blue suit skirt opening. If the doorman thought he was going to gaze upon my Cervin stockings, he was mistaken.
“You can get my bag from the boot,” I said. I had put my hair up into a tight bun, and made my eyes up with heavy mascara and plenty of dark eye shadow. The doorman would have known that I meant business.
I stood up, straightened my starched white blouse, buttoned my close fitting jacket and lifted a big Dolce & Gabbana handbag from the car.
“Have my case brought up to my room in precisely two hours,” I said, handing the doorman my car keys.
I headed upstairs to the adjoining rooms George had booked. I knocked on his door.
“Ah! Teacher!” The voice was George’s. Our game had begun.
