100..........,

15. How many languages do you speak?
---------------

One.
(and my French is pretty decent)

(unless you're French of course, in which case... Je parle seulement anglais :winkwink: )

You're almost halfway there Aly! You can do it!

You just haven't tried the right woman yet... It really is about time I show you what you've been missing. :winkwink:

I love aly!!

Can I watch and take notes? :winkwink:

1/2 way there

16. What was it like living in the sex.com mansion?
--------------

I was living in an apartment in San Diego (briefly) when a large fellow came into my place one night uninvited. We had a scuffle, I won and he ran away, but I was a little nervous about staying there alone the next night, so Gary and Sue Whatley (LadyLaw) invited me to come and stay at the Sex.com mansion for a few days. I ended up staying a year...

That year was a huge one in my life on many levels for many reasons, and the location and cast of characters had everything to do with that.

The weather was perfect up there. Almost as if the higher the property taxes you pay, the better the weather. It could be raining in downtown San Diego, cloudy at the beach a mile or so away... but it was always perfectly sunny over Rancho Sant Fe! It was also perfectly silent an awful lot of the time.

During the year I lived there, there was a stream of people that stayed in the house for various amounts of time. Until J$style$ they were all women, so I called the mansion 'Gary's Home for Wayward Girls'. Which was really no exaggeration!

Gary is a very generous, entertaining, brilliant guy. We'd sit in the hottub scheming brilliant business startegies that we'd rarely implement, just for fun. He loved to throw parties at the mansion and I think was taken advantage of a little too much in that respect... although he didn't seem to mind that if the party was a hit. LOL.. :winkwink:

KB was there right from the beginning (and probably still is, I imagine) he'd drop by almost every day with either a girl on each arm, or the photographs to prove it! He was funny as hell and a great friend at the time.

J$tyle$ moved in not too long before I left. There's an awful lot I could say about Jon but you've all heard it before and he doesn't need to hear it again from me. My fondest moments with him were sitting late at night (many nights) by the fireplace outside my bedroom (an outside fireplace) staring at the flames and not really saying anything at all... those were very peaceful times!

I learned a lot about myself during that year, and it was also a lot of fun.

Thanks, Gary! :thumbsup

17. How many conventions do you attend a year? Favorites other than internext? (hey you work there - you have to say them first)
---------------

Remember back when CE was throwing the AWE events? They were monthly in different cities across the states and I went to every single one of them, along with every other show/ event that happened. I got SO tired of travelling!

The convention/ event options change a bit every year, so it's hard to give you a solid number on that. My top three favourites (and NO, I wouldn't call Internext my favourite because it's my job, fuck that) are Summer Internext, Phoenix and LA Webmaster Access (I'm REALLY excited about the Amsterdam webmaster access too!)

After going to so many events for so long, I love looking at the folks I met at events years ago and how they've changed, made millions, lost millions, grown up, or in some cases regressed. :winkwink:

18. Who do you look up to in the adult industry? Down on?
-------------

I have respect for the people in this industry who created new and innovative ways to make it work for them. Ron and Dave Levine back in the earliest moments of this industry built affiliate programs that laid the foundation for how the largest segments of this industry now operate. Yishai and Fred Warner broke new ground in marketing tricks and mechanisms that, again, became common practice in online marketing. There are others who broke new ground who are very impressive for their innovation.

The others who've impressed me are the ones who took existing models and substantially improved upon them. Marc deForest for example... I remember looking at ARS at the New Orleans show a few years ago and marvelling at how they took the basic affiliate program model at the time and pumped it up to kick the asses of the larger programs in a matter of months. That required brilliance, an immense amount of hard work and some very innovative ideas... :winkwink: SilverCash did a similar thing... very impressive.

What doesn't impress me at all is the type of 'webmaster' or other business owner who is basically just lucky. One trick ponies (if that) who make loads of money because they happened to be in the right place at the right time. Good for them. That's great... but I'm not particularily impressed.

I also look up to people who are honest, intelligent and have good manners, no matter what they've accomplished business-wise. I dislike people who are arrogant, self-righteous and rude.

I try to live my life by the Golden Rule. When I encounter others who don't I just kind of turn them into 'chatter' that I either deal with politely (most of the time!) or ignore.

I also have a lot of respect for the independent free-thinkers that I've met in this industry: Fred, Halcyon, IrishPimp... and a few others. There are far too many people in this business who jump on bandwagons and trends and spend very little time thinking for themselves. That's very unimpressive.

19. What would you do different with your career if you had to start over from the begining?
------------------------

Assuming we're talking about my Online Adult career...

Actually, I'm pretty satisfied with the choices I've made, so I'll just leave it at that.

I'm often asked why I haven't started my own program. One reason is that I wouldn't want to turn around and fuck with Python; they're my friends and everything I know about this industry I learned while there. That's also why I didn't move to a different affiliate program when I left.
BUT... the primary reason is that I'd never want to have my own online adult company. The liabilities and headaches aren't remotely attractive to me and I've never really been driven to make millions of dollars a month. The wealthiest people I've known have been, without question, the most miserable, too. I'm not saying that's a general rule, but the fact that money can't buy happiness certainly is. I'd rather have the freedom of being somebody else's liability. :winkwink:

nice :thumbsup

20. What happened to AlyTV? Every had any other mainstream or adult media opportunities? What happened?
-----------------

AlyTV was a wonderful experience for me and I really enjoyed doing it. As time passed I got to enjoy improving and developing the show so that it got better each week, which was very fulfilling. When I started at AVN I had every intention of continuing the show, but I ended up becoming far too busy to do it. Earlier this year I made the choice to archive all the episodes on the site and focus on my day job. I've been presented with quite a few adult and mainstream opportunities but for various reasons they didn't grab my interest enough to drop everything and pursue them. I still get offers, and maybe one day one will work for me but, shockingly enough, I'm not going to jump on the first opportunity to be infront of a camera simply out of a desire to be there.

I bet at least 700 of them was KB refreshing :1orglaugh

Nice answers so far..pls keep going

:1orglaugh THANKS!

Okay... I probably should speed this up a little...!

Why would I do that, I consider Aly an old friend-
and she is deserving of all the attention she gets-

More people need to know who Aly is-
She is a very passionate woman with strong beliefs

I don't fault her for taking a paycheck and not knowing that she works for the devil-

In due time, people learn things for themselves through trial and error.

It's a nice read actually.

Up with Aly
Down with AVN.
:pimp

21. Do you perfer blondes, brunettes or redheads. Discuss.
--------------

Brunettes, redheads... and possibly pinkheads. :winkwink:

I don't have anything against blondes, I really don't... I just never seem to find myself attracted to them. (That said, all stunningly goodlooking, brilliantly witty blondes should feel free to contact [email protected] anytime!)

:pimp

Thanks darling. I knew it would be awkward but never imagined this.

Anyway... moving right along...

You are paranoid, but I can say that because I know you-

By the way did u find out who our friend Judy Sweeney is yet?


:1orglaugh

22. Why do you come to GFY? What topics interest you here. Personal/professional.
--------------------

Great question! Nowadays I primarily come to GFY to answer posts about AVN and Internext. One of the things they were doing wrong in the past was to not respond to public criticism (or praise). It gave the impression that they weren't playing with the other kids, not participating with the community, not keeping 'in-touch', and not listening to their key audience.

Threads that catch my attention usually touch on industry news (even gossip), and general news if I haven't heard it yet (eg: the fire in St Louis today). I click on drama if it involves someone I like, respect or detest. The random posts about nothing in particular, and joke threads I usually skip.

23. In your opinion what's the worst thing you've ever experienced in your life? Best?
----------------------

I really can't answer that question honestly - because I really can't think of an honest answer.... but I guarantee each answer involves a woman!

Women are crazy. I love them for that, but I think most of us can agree that they're what's most likely to cause the most pain and joy in life. (Unless you have kids, of course. :winkwink: )

24. Where does one sign up for your squirting lession seminar?
------------------

That's really not necessary! I'm more than happy to share my vast, extensive knowledge on this subject right here! LOL...


Here's what you do:

First off you need to get your partner warmed-up, get the juices flowing, so to speak.

When you feel that she's near orgasm, start gently playing with her clitoris and pushing on the paraurethral gland, as you do so, apply a little pressure to her belly right above the area. Keep bringing her closer to orgasm and doing all this, and as she comes she should, in theory, make a big wet mess all over the place!

Yippeeeee! :thumbsup

GFY - Where you learn something new everyday!

finally a woman who agrees with me on this.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup

Yes this is indeed the trick
:-))

I have a new pair of scuba goggles as a result of this -
Took me years to figure it out and get right to it
but then again it's the main reason I bang 23 yr old hotties...

Those 36 yr old guys in porn sure know what the fuck they are doing these days

HOLLA if you are over 35 and LOVE the YOUNG TIGHT PUSSY!

k bizzle im lookin foward to meeting you. :1orglaugh

Hehe, you know what you're doing ;)

Aly probably just made a lot more people's sex lives more interesting :thumbsup

Glad to be of service! :winkwink:

25. Are you a superstar? How many do you know?
-----------------

LOL... I wouldn't want the pressure! I really truly can't stand it when people have unnecessary expectations of me, so Superstardom would be a disaster. I'd end up like one of those Hollywood recluses, rarely leaving their house and hiding behind big floppy hats and glasses when they do. I look terrible in floppy hats so it's not the life for me.

I don't consider anyone I know to be a superstar... except my dog Kinsey of course. She's quite the Primadonna.

26. Talk about golf.
-----------------

Mark Twain called golf "A nice walk, ruined."

Truer words were never spoken.

27. What does the color orange mean to you?
---------------------------

Some of you don't know Joan from ASACP very well, and those that think they do probably aren't seeing the whole picture. She's a very smart, very generous, very educated woman who goes out of her way to help people with all sorts of things. Including me... You see, among her many accomplishments, Joan's also a clinical hypnotherapist. She hypnotizes people to help them deal with certain things.

6 or 7 months ago my partner at the time insisted that I quit smoking, so Joan offered to help. One evening I showed up at Joan's apartment in LA and she sat me down, said a whole bunch of things which are now awfully blurry and helped me quit smoking. An exercise she had me do was to imagine myself in a very safe place in complete comfort, she then asked what the general colour was in that place. It turned out to be orange. Now, in theory, whenever I'm stressed or in need of a smoke and so on I just have to go to my orange place and I'll feel better. It worked pretty well actually. Thanks Joan!

Of course, I started smoking again as soon as the relationship ended. :smokin

28. Do you own your own home? What kind of car do you drive? pics
---------------------

It's terrible of me I know, but, no I don't own my own home. I really should, but I'm relatively new in the US and don't have a credit history with which to buy a home. One day... one day.

This is what I drive:

It's great for the dog, and I love it! :thumbsup

29. What nationality(s) are you? Any plans on changing it?

------------------

I'm Scottish. I have Canadian citizenship as well.

You can't change a Scot's nationality. Wars have been waged over far less.

30. Do you have any new hobbies?
-----------------

I race sailboats. I have a feeling I'm going to get pretty good at it actually... Americas Cup here I come!

I also go to the gym a lot. I gained weight in all the wrong places when I quit smoking. So I started smoking again and joined the gym... :winkwink:

Hello, again, Aly -- :)

I just want to say this is a difficult place in which to be visible -- doubly-so when that visiblity is a part of your business persona, and an accountable one.

I have on GFY seen what have appeared to me at the moment I observed them to be terrible cruelties, terrible violences of spirit, and an appropriation of the medium's capacity to provide concealment for the wicked that goes beyond the dastardly (ooh, there's a lovely britword).

To be honest with you, in many of those cases, I still don't know whether the injuries and transgression I observed were "real" -- but then, what is "real" -- and you can follow that thinking in a loop all the way around again -- forever.

Suffice it to say this: There are some people I have met in the business whom I know from chiefly live, personal interactions, others from mainly this exotic e-zoo called GFY, and a quite small number whom I would say I know both HERE and THERE -- Aly among them.

The value of character consistency is an old and well-established one . It's the sort of thing you'd expect grandmothers to impart to young children on their laps -- BASIC.

In this day and age, the perils of character inconsistency extend to an entirely different universe of existence and landscape of action.

Though I know that it is usually wise to make use of opportunities to veil your meaning or permit veiled meanings to stand, it's not a thing I really feel comfortable with or have the talent for -- I am a fool, often.

To Aly Drummond I wish to say "Very, very, very consistent, hun* -- both HERE and THERE.

This suggests to me not only that Aly is a solid human in the old-fashioned way her grandmother would have approved of, but also that she is one of a very few PROGRESSED e-beings I have met who navigate both the realms of our lives while remaining always herself, and in my opinion, always a person of enormous truth.

Thank you for the friendship you have showm me, Aly -- :thumbsup

*hard to pick the right endearment term, since my affections for Aly are complex

31. How many people have you been photographed kissing? post pics
------------------

A long time ago, Melissa at CCBill convinced me to start the site AllAboutAly.com, where I posted pics of me kissing lots of industry luminaries. It turned out to be a really effective way of breaking the ice actually! The only problem with it was when people whom I neither wanted to kiss nor wanted to put on my site would approach me for a pic of me kissing them... Valuable lessons in diplomacy were learned because of that site!

I took the site down a year or two ago. At last count I think it had about 40 or 50 photos on it. They're all gone now. You'll never find 'em... :winkwink:

Thanks, 2HP. :upsidedow

*how complex?

I have ONE QUESTION LEFT! Just ONE!

Goodnight!

hummm, way back machine maybe......

you must find the right mortgage broker, you can buy if you wanted.

Lars where the hell are you?

Wow what an awesome interview Ally. I will see you in Florida.

Mark

Thanks! I look forward to it! :thumbsup

Hopefully that day will come soon-
we are looking at possibilities still
and met with our agent today-

If we do what we make it do-
It will piss off a lot of people, and be a fucking blast!

Please pass whatever it is you are smoking my way bro-
Your posts require intense concentration and a thesaurus
:-))

WOW- I have to move to SF with you and Ev so I can get Irie like you guys...

:pimp

Count me in! :1orglaugh

Great interview so far... Aly ROCKS :)

AND ... FINALLY:

32. If you weren't in the adult induatry, what would you want to be doing for a living?
-------------------

I'd own my own jazz club in LA. :thumbsup


Thanks so much Sleazy for your excellent questions. That was fun!
