I have been very lucky to meet a very big name in the porn industry: Larry Vinaver. His name is absolutely everywhere and his moustache can be seen in a large collection of pictures and movies. The man despite being famous kept a simplicity and a passion for his job that I find amazing … I will not tell you more, just read the interview and get charmed!

****

-“All right Larry. First thing, thank you for having me and taking the time to answer my questions. So you have chosen to have the interview here, tell me why? What is special here?”

Well I chose this venue mostly for its aesthetically pleasing look and its friendly atmosphere…and they have a great bar and snack area with plenty of activities … of all kinds. I find it is less formal than most places but grander in appearance…and the beer is good too

-“I see a great place for a relaxed interview if I may put it this way. So Larry, tell me about your early days in SecondLife, how was it like?”

Well at first I mostly explored around, checking out what was going on , visiting several lap dance clubs ..I was a regular visitor and subsequently became friendly with a Danish lady with whom I helped to run a dance club called juggs and strokers; it recently reopened as ‘new juggs’….SL in those days was a lot more restricted in places and activities than it is now of course…I can only say how everything has changed for the better …the extracurricular activities I enjoy here now are tenfold…

I also spent my days motorcycle riding and car racing , which I still do today .. Although most of the time my SL was taken up with social activities..I joined the porn group here after chatting with a friend , I attended a lot of events and met a lot of great people, it was at that time that I ‘grew’ my moustache and cultivated a ‘porn star’ look. It was purely as a gag at first but the look seems to have caught on and got me shoots and eventual parts in movies…it still does …

-“I have to admit I am a big fan of your moustache Larry!! And your older look too. Why such an atypic choice?”

hehe …well Cathy, no getting away from it, I am no spring chicken of a youth, I am a middle aged guy who is still very active and who feels he has a lot to offer in this sometimes very ‘youthful’ looking profession we have…..I am also delighted to note there are a few other ‘silver foxes’ who are not afraid to shine their light as well. I always have felt here that I am what I am, why be something you are not? I am middle aged and proud …and love to show it off :-)) I have noted that the ladies do not mind either:-)) We do have some gorgeous looking women as well as some great looking guys in the groups.

-“I definitely agree with you Larry. You seem very well and very comfortable with it anyway. So who is Larry today? What do you do? What do you like? Tell me more about yourself”

I am an easy going adult movie actor (I never say ‘star’..I’m an actor in a great company of actors lol…I leave the compliments for others). I love to do movies and modelling shoots, enjoy myself at parties, clubs and events , race cars and motorcycles and enjoy fun with friends here in SL. I am proud of the work I have done here, with 52 movies and 6 awards to date:

2016 SX Magazine Best Actor *

GOLDEN COCK *

2015 ACTOR OF THE YEAR *

2015 MOVIE ‘I CAN FUCK YOU BETTER: BEST ORGASM OF THE YEAR *

2014 BEST COCK *

BLACK TIE AWARDS: 2014 BTA BEST MALE PERFORMER *

(*) Editor’s notes

-“52 movies… that’s amazing! What was was the first? The last? Your favourite ones?”

Well my first movie was called ‘Mutual Pleasure‘ with Marika Blaisdale. This lead in a roundabout way to getting a walk on role in Miss Emily‘s award winning movie ‘Legs wide spread‘ I was the man in Gillespie’s Cafe lol…However this appearance got me noticed and went on to roles in such movies as ‘Dear Santa Claus‘ with Erin Cedarbridge and the award winning ‘Stepford Sluts‘ in which I play the villainous Mike . That was an award winning movie of full feature length that involved a huge cast in SL, a real ground-breaker…I also have played the recurring role of ‘One Eyed Larry’ the villainous slaver in Miss Emily‘s ‘intergalatic sluts‘ sci-fi series on her blog…These roles have lead to various movies, working alongside people like Anita Dark Vuitton, Dillon Lecker, Miss Emily , Virgil, Mitzy Broadway and Isa Cheviot to name but a few. At present my most recent movie was ‘Love‘ by Dillon Lecker in which I once more play a cop * laugh *

My faves were of course ‘Dear Santa Claus’ as it is a heartwarming christmas porn tale and ‘Stepford Sluts‘ as it was a groundbreaking movie that everyone worked hard on, especially Erin Cedarbridge. I also love ‘Empire‘, Isa Cheviot’s roman drama where I play both a murdered senator and an avenging praetorian guard at the end.

-“You’re probably the most active actor I had the luck to interview so far Larry. So what do you like in being in actor? I have heard it’s a long process to build a movie, what’s in for you?”

I love the pleasure of working with others on a fun and worthwhile project. I worked with the lovely Kayla Whittaker on 3 movies of hers, she is wonderful and we always have a great laugh and joke whenever we meet.. It is long and sometimes can last 3 or 4 hours if pushed…but the camaraderie, the fun and the joy at the finished product as well as the laughs we have on screen are all rewards in their-self.

-“I think I can understand this. Did you produce some movies yourself? Or maybe have you been a director?””

Well only in the confines of a movie set, Cathy as you may note from the movie ‘Casting Couch‘ by Mitzy Broadway I played a producer/director ..in which I also get to work with Sil and the gorgeous Racheal Rexen (Sil & I are already the envy of all SL Males * laugh *)…. As for actual producing or directing I have never sat ‘behind the camera’ ..for now I am just an actor taking direction from some of the most wonderful people in SL: our directors/producers! I guess I love being ‘up front’ too much to change.

-“I understand. Let’s talk a little about photography now. Are you a model? A photographer? Both?”

I am a bit of both really Cathy, I take all my flickr pics and publish them after the ‘clipping and dipping’ process of photo enhancement. I get people to pose for me and I pose for them, it is a mutual two ways process that helps us all, an ‘invite back’ so to speak * smile *

-“I have heard that already from a few models/photographers…. I start to believe this is the secret for success, do you think it is the case?”

Absolutely, you get to know them and they get to know you and we all rely on each other, share experience and tips which all help to improve overall performance and general goodwill. Once you are out there you become known, that is why everyone needs a Flickr site.

-“Would you choose for me in your Flickr stream a few of your best pictures and tell me why you like them?”

Certainly… I did like the recent pic I did with Moxxie Kalanikova, called ‘Mrs K and me’. It was catching up with a friend who I had not been in contact with for a long while.

The picture of Kelley Blackheart with my daughter Raelynn as that is a special picture.

The picture with Jane Muliana , the juggs owner, my oldest friend in SL and my juggs business partner.

And the one with Sammijo, a close and intimate pic together

-“Well I would like to do the same exercise but now … you are going to choose pictures of you … taken by others. Choose a few of your faves and let me know why?”

Certainly. The first 3 are by Tammy Jones (TJ to me) who I consider one of my favorite photographers, she has captured an impressive array of photos and works of art pertaining to me over the past 4 years and is very talented * smile *. She is definitely a ‘photographer to the stars’ in that her work is excellent always. The detail and the virility that she manages to capture in all pics is evident.





My next is from the lovely Heather Ashford …:-)) This is an amazing pic taken at that wonderful photo venue of Surfers Bay…One can see why she is a very talented photographer whose work is followed and admired by over 6000!!

This one is with the lovely iconic Louise Kristan-Faulds, who with her Partner Serenity are loved throughout the SL porn world. This was from a delightful movie called ‘Lou & Sere’s Grand tour‘, where I am lucky enough to star with both of them and Tali Braveheart too.

An earlier one from Dokie from 2015…I was new to the industry then and she was only too pleased to give me a session. She is a talented photographer and a very good friend. I hope to do more.

This is a CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) representation by the talented Waif Ah, another good friend, co-movie star and model..This was from a set she did and is very enjoyable to view always. She has many talented works and I am pleased that she includes me in her pics, indeed her style has influenced my own in image and work.

Missing

-“How so?”

Well my mesh look in particular …and my interest in feature pictures showing a story line ….I have a few of that type of genre in my work and it is definitely thanks to Waif’s influence.

Finally, Tatiana of course immortalized me in her celebratory collection of porn stars done about 3 years ago which featured some of the major persons in the industry. I was so proud to be a part of it. We have remained good friends and this shoot was a very lovely picture I enjoyed making (as you may have gathered hehe)

I hope that was a comprehensive list, Cathy, there are so many more but space will not permit a full gallery :-)))

-“So … we have spoken of your career in the movie industry, as a model … now I would like to talk about another aspect of your character. You appeared recently in Attention Magazine… as a fashion model. I know you are very skilled at tailoring a nice appearance for men … a rare skill. Can you tell us more about your conception of men’s fashion?”

I had a vision long ago (sorry if this sounds corny lol) of an industry where the males were smartly dressed and fashionable in all aspects as well as having the best looks in all ways possible. At the time we, males, were hopelessly outdone by the incomparable beauty of you gorgeous ladies (and still are) so I dedicated myself, already by then wearing the cliched chest medallions, rings , bracelets and porn moustache to watching and searching out Men’s fashion in a huge trawl as far as my slightly occasional conservative perceptions allowed. I was successful as time went by in finding such places as AES, DEADWOOL, COLDASH which are mesh dedicated and costly …You get what you pay for. I also looked at GAS who have a very high quality economical range for both males and females that cater for most mesh types and only 150 $L on average!

My conception is of a smart well dressed group of males with a range of amazing suits , tuxedos for social events, sports and outdoor wear that looks great on shoots and also in the movies that are produced, I even envisaged movies and magazines crediting the stores and designers :-)) It is true I do smoke and drink in pics and movies ..I promote Nikotin as they have a full range of tobacco products in SL..it does lend a certain mystique that is now past times to many pictures, in spite of being a very unhealthy habit!

Shoes are another thing men cannot neglect…..I have a very stylish range. From L&B to Pixelfashion oxfords..It is true that as well as smart suits and clothing you need smart shoes, just like the women do!

I have had nothing but praise from women everywhere for my look and my idea of promoting a smarter image. I am proud to say that a few males in SL have told me I have been their ‘mentor’, so to speak..Alex Topaz-Rodgers even featured me in her blog as being one of SL ‘Best dressed males’

-“I must agree with Alex Topaz, you’re having one of the best look of SL, a lot of variety and a taste for details… I particularly like your moustache!”

Oh thank you Cathy ..It has been a long road from D&D discord through Jaryth fireman/lumberjack to the present Deadwool. I also look at Doux too and Action , for the more 1970’s looking ones lol. I change my moustache for ‘One Eyed Larry’ in Intergalactic Sluts as he has a more scarred/severe look as a villain:-)) I am just surprised that so many guys are still clean shaven. It seems Talisker and Argo have the beard monopoly (and Lord Uri Jefferson) and I have the Moustache cornered lol. I’d like to see more facial hair lol.

-“My next question to you, and we are approaching the end of the interview: what are your projects? What do you prepare? Anything big you would like to achieve in the more long term too?”

I would like to be involved in another major feature length movie I have a few movie offers in the pipeline as well as a mandatory appearance as ‘One Eyed Larry’ again in Intergalactic Sluts ….which is now going to its 3rd season … I am also involved in story line pics such as Mythos with SX MAGAZINE (Virgil). This also included an interview with the gorgeous Isla Grace. I have another story line planned with both Virgil and another producer… I also love my cameo roles (editor’s note: see Onyx Blaze, Britannia music video, Brit X Nightclub Sept 2015, Billionaire’s Club .1 Promotional, Billionaire’s Club 8, Dancing on the Moon, EMP 2016 Year End Video Mish Mash) … I get to play a lot of minor roles as well…usually as the cop lol. I am sure I still have a little more to offer even as we get newer and bigger stars in this wonderful industry of ours:-))

-“A less serious question now: You’re a Scottish Larry, I think it’s no secret… do you sometimes wear the kilt?”

I do yes ..but not every day lol

-“So sad!. Ok … it will be my last question Larry….I dare you to tell me a little secret about yourself … something you rarely shared.”

Ok …happily. I also have an Irish passport, dual nationality!

-“A good mix I would say! “

And I also do not drive a flashy car…in RL i have a suzuki wagon lol

-“Thank you Larry… I know it’s been long so thank you for your time. Is there anything else you would like to talk about?”

I think that has covered it all. Thank you Cath, but I should like to thank you for giving me this opportunity:-)))

****

This is the end of this interview with Larry unfortunately. There were so many additional questions I could have asked but the man is entitled to keep some secrets, it left more to the imagination. Moreover he has been very patient with me, it has been my longest interview ever and I did not see the time passing. Do not forget to check both his Flickr Streams: Larry Vinaver and the Extras. Pay attention when you watch a movie … if you see a cop it might be Larry.

Kiss,

Cathy
