Print Media Confusion starring Meggan Mallone

I confess I’m not much for looking at men’s magazines.  I mean sure I know the big ones like Penthouse, Playboy and Hustler but apparently there are quite a few more.  I caught a glance of a web page featuring Vivid’s newest tartlet, Meggan Mallone.  On this page it said that this year alone Meggan Mallone has either been on the cover or featured in 6 different magazines.   My any standards that’s pretty fucking impressive but that’s not what caught my attention.  What caught my attention is that just two hours earlier I was reading a story about how ad sales are down as much as 23% in traditional print media and that circulation has plummeted.  You hear this kind of thing all the time.  Instead of reading a real magazine people just prefer to go online and see what they can find.  In fact some magazines have gone all digital as a result.



So back to men’s magazine’s.  I had no idea how many of them there really are.  I think this has to contribute to lacking sales figures.  Quite frankly there are just to fucking many of them.  I read in one place there are some 318 different men’s magazines currently in circulation.  THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN?!!! So can we name some of these?  Sure but I promise I can’t name many.  Here are some of the more successful ones.  And out of this short life, I must ask, do we really really need even this many?

The Hanna Hilton Math Does Add Up

Something just isn’t right here about this Hanna Hilton hooker story.  It’s been bugging me for days, since I posted that story I found about her being a call girl or escort or whatever you want to call it these days.  Here is what is bugging me about this story, my momma always said when all else fails common sense will prevail.  Common sense in this story is what is failing.



Hanna Hilton either makes $750 or $2,000 to spend 1 hour with a client as a hooker.   This may or may not be true, not saying if it is, just hear me out on the math behind it because something isn’t adding up.


So as a Vivid girl we are told she probably earns around $80,000 to $100,000 a year for her contract, which is typically paid out every two weeks, like as if she had a job.  That’s not bad money but considering she only has to work about 3 to 4 days a month for the entire year, it’s even better.


Considering the fact that she was a former Penthouse pet and popular Internet model before coming to Vivid she probably got the higher end of the new girl contract so we can safely assume she’s not doing so bad with her weekly paychecks.


This also doesn’t account for the money she makes from her own personal website.  If you take the average earnings of an membership website, assume her traffic based on data found at sites like Alexa.com and Compete.com, and guessing she probably makes a 50/50 cut with whoever is running it minus 20% administrative costs, you can pretty much guess she makes about $1,500 a month or maybe as much as $2,000 on her personal website.  That’s not bad, on top of the money she makes from her Vivid contract.  On the low end we are now talking an estimated $8,000 a month here.


That being said we also know that a Vivid girl and former Penthouse Pet and popular Internet model no doubt has quite a few requests for personal appearances.  These she can expect to make about $2,500 to $5,000 to show up to a location and be there for an hour or two.   This doesn’t account for the extra money she will make on selling her DVDs that she signs, etc.  Girls always make good money.  One girl I think it was Racquel Darrian was said to make $1 million a year alone on just personal appearances and feature dancing.  Obviously Hanna Hilton isn’t that famous yet but let’s say she makes about $5,000 a day with her sales and fees and does about 3 a year.  That’s not much but it’s also known that she doesn’t tend to do a lot of these things.  But even at only a few each year that’s still roughly an extra $15,000 – but let’s round it down to $12,000 since we don’t really know FOR SURE her schedule.  That gives her $1,000 a month in personal appearance fees and related earnings.  That puts her salary at about $9,000 a month.


Now this is the part that gets me confused.   Why would you make $750 to $2,000 when you could make $2,500 to $5,000 and not even have to have sex?  Nobody is that stupid.  I mean think about it.  Would you take $2,000 or $2,500?  I mean duh!  Of course you would want the most money and no doubt so does she.


So then why would she spend her free time making $750 to $2,000 when she could be making personal appearances and earning $2,500 to $5,000?  It doesn’t make sense.


When it comes to Vivid we are all laughing it up about how much we don’t like their movies or whatever but let me tell you this, their shit sales.  Their movies are seen in hotel rooms across America as well as on cable TV versions and PPV specials.   And that’s why someone with the Vivid Girl title can command major cash just to show up and sign autographs at your store.  May sound insane to you and me but the Vivid girls have well known faces and names in mainstream society and that is what retailers want — it draws in the fans and fans that come in are likely to buy shit.


So then we factor in any money she makes which we can basically estimate to be about $9,000 a month, not including what her boyfriend was making prior to going to jail, she couldn’t have been hurting to much?  I mean $9,000 a month?  Hello?!  That’s great fucking money by any standards.  Why would she also be hooking?  It doesn’t add up my friends.


I’m going to go on the record as saying I just don’t buy the story that she’s a part time hooker.  The numbers aren’t computing. No matter how you do the math, $2,000 an hour to blow some dumb ass you don’t know is never as great as $2,500 to stand around and smile while people kiss your ass. What do you think she would chose?

Dr. Z will you come make a house call to me?

I got a press release today that I want to share with you. Not because I really like to share press release but because of who the press release is about. I mean let’s be real, we all know I don’t really publish press releases that often, only on a rare and special occasion but this is one rare and special lady its about. Her name is Victoria Zdrok.  Her personal bio describers her as a hottie and a smartie.  And while that may be true, it’s far from really capturing all that is Victoria Zdrok.


As you might have imagined by the name Victoria Zdrok is originally from Russia.  She came to the U.S. during the times of the cold war in a specially arranged student exchange program.  Victoria Zdrok was brilliant and went on to graduate high school a very young age.

She graduated from Pensacola Junior College in Florida at age 17 and West Chester University in Pennsylvania at age 18 with a B.A.   She speaks like 6 languages (English, Ukrainian, Russian, French, Spanish and German), has a law degree and a PhD in Clinical Psychology.

If all that wasn’t impressive enough she also happens to be hot as fuck and a former Playboy Playmate (October 1994) who years later would go on to be a Penthouse Pet (June 2002) and eventually the Penthouse Pet of the Year (2004), exactly 10 years after she was first named a Playboy Playmate.   Victoria Zdrok once told me that when she first became a Playboy Playmate in 1994 she thought it would change her life and in fact it did but not in the way she had imagined.  She had big dreams of going on to be a movie star and not be hit on and felt up by the likes of Donald Trump.  Her acting career never took off but for many years after she would be a very active Playboy model appearing several more times in Playboy either in International editions or in special editions  of the magazine like the Playmate Review or the Book of Lingerie.

Even more impressive she was an Internet pioneer, starting her official website in like 1998.    And no I don’t mean she had someone do it for her like many models of today. She was very hands on in the entire website creation process and ran her website almost entirely by herself, teaching herself how to upload photos and even did live web chats and posted on her message boards to her fans non stop.  It was during this time she also did some softcore porn with Danni Ashe and Nikki Nova.

Victoria Zdrok took a big yet calculated risk by going on with her own website.  At that time being independent was highly frowned upon by the Playboy machine and it cost Victoria several modeling jobs with them.  But in the end it was clearly the right thing to do because she became far more famous than just some chick who once was in Playboy.  She would go on to be hired as a spokesmodel for countless companies, raking in the cash and eventually she gained some fame from her work with Penthouse.  All of that was great but it was when she decided to be the Dr. Ruth of the Internet Generation that she really got what she secretly had desired all along, fame.  Everyone wants Victoria on their shows now and in their magazines.

Don’t get your kicks on Route 66

Route 66 Penthouse

view the Route 66 Penthouse DVD information while you can


What do you do if you can no longer get your kicks on Route 66? Well we may just find out because as reported today on TMZ, the fine folks who made the 1960’s TV show “Route 66” are more than pissed that Penthouse is trying to turn their beloved show into something smutty. The best part of the lawsuit is that they suggested a new title for the movie “Sex in and Around the Pink Motel.” LOL


Anyway you can view the full court documents from the TMZ website or view the details of the Penthouse movie Route 66 HERE which stars Katarina Kat, Renae Cruz, Holly West, Mia Smiles and Nikki Kane, who should not be confused with the new Vivid girl named Nikki Jayne. They are not the same people.


With porno spoofs of real life movies, TV shows and celebrities like Not the Bradys XXX from Hustler or Down, Dirty and Desperate Housewives from Factory 13, it’s really only a matter of time before we start seeing more and more lawsuits.

EX-WRITER FOR HIGH TIMES, HUSTLER, PENTHOUSE TO PEN MEMOIRS

Mike Edison has a sure-fire hook for his memoir: sex, drugs and journalism. Edison, former High Times editor and publisher and now the editor in chief of the revived Screw magazine, says his book will feature “more strippers, prowrestlers, porn stars, pranksters, potheads and punk rockers than have ever been assembled in one place.” So far, the list of well-known folks whose names will appear include Evel Knievel, Al Goldstein, Keith Richards and Snoop Dogg.
