AMANDA HESS

Amanda Hess is a writer in Los Angeles.
She is in the middle.

I saw some of the best writers of my generation destroyed by celebrity profiling.

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

basically.

Hi Jake.

Hi Jake.

The lonely person was just about the most terrifying spectacle in the world.

You’re making it sound kind of boss, though.

Anonymous asked: are you being sarcastic in your response to '50 shades of gary' or do you agree with what he said? Personally I think he's wrong, I know of a lot of male pornstars but james is still my favorite

I’m being sarcastic! That man knows nothing.

Anonymous asked: Is the storyboard interview with James Deen going to be published or not?

Unfortunately, no. Storyboard is dead—but even before it was dead, the higher-ups there got skittish about highlighting pornographic content (this happens to me not-infrequently) and killed the story. The Daily Beast did end up publishing this video interview I did with James, in which he answers questions posed by fans. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

50-shades-of-gary:

Casual reminder to all the ladies out there: James Deen isn’t your favorite porn star as much as he is THE ONLY ONE YOUVE EVER FUCKING HEARD OF.

“50 Shades of Gary” has his finger on the pulse of female sexuality.

I went to a Playboy party at the Chateau Marmont and said, “I’m with the New York Times.” I left with seven fat business cards: Six Playboy, one Jaguar.

It’s a Teen Mom claiming to have a really lousy time with a porn star known for making women feel sexually empowered.

How Vivid and TMZ used Farrah Abraham and James Deen’s “sex tape” to troll the sexualities of young women

Everyone is, in fact, alone. Being contractually tied to another person—in marriage, for example—accentuates the loneliness, because you have effectively allowed the state to determine your obligations to someone, as if you can’t trust and manage your own feelings by yourself. Anyway, I see humans as essentially solitary creatures, and this is not changed by surrounding ourselves with others, because they, too, are solitary. Life is a very serious business for the simple reason that nobody dies laughing.
