PORN CAN BE FUN(NY): “TO MY DEAR CIVILIANS, WITH LOVE†by Rebecca Lord
Did you ever think a woman’s take on the adult industry would be humorous? Hall of Fame actress and director Rebecca Lord shares exactly that perspective based on twenty years of behind-the-curtain stories in TO MY DEAR CIVILIANS, WITH LOVE.
Rebecca’s autobiography tells tales of her experiences with her friends such Asia, Jenna, Felecia, Kaitlyn, Kylie, Julie, Rocco, Pierre,Marc, Ron,Tony, the Hedgehog and too many more to name from around the world as she takes you into the strange and often hilarious world of adult films. Yes, “porn†is a very different village, with fun and interesting people as well as a few nuts. No doubt, people who live here share unique outlooks and mentalities, which she offers to readers.
Rebecca’s tome is not only fun and funny, however. She is in a unique place to provide a true picture of the adult industry — good, bad, happy, sad, all the way up to weird. Her book deals with issues such as “… it explains and shows how women in this industry aren’t generally a victim, as the outside world likes to believe”, including the multi-faceted roles of women in the industry. She addresses these matters from a solid basis of knowledge and experience, not speculation, rumor and innuendo.
Overall, her goal is to show “civilians†– that’s how industry people refer (kindly) to outsiders – that porn may be a strange business … though still a good one for its people.
Rebecca also recounts her experiences arriving in the U.S. as a young woman, not yet 20, after establishing herself in France. She travels through the process of coming to love this country and working in the adult industry. Since adult actresses also perform as feature dancers in clubs throughout the country, she was soon exposed to all regions and cultures. Clearly, she flourished in her career, though with ups and downs along her path. This industry, her work, can be very challenging, and is not for the faint of heart, yet still a good and enjoyable place for those who embrace it. Those who could not handle it simply moved on to other things in their lives.
This book deals with industry people and issues through amazing, sexy, and too-funny stories that will leave you laughing out loud! Porn … as you want to know it, as you will thoroughly enjoy knowing it, from a woman’s honest and candid viewpoint. ;-)
