The Search for Love in Manhattan

May 02, 2006

A few years ago I wrote a couple of posts about being filmed in my first (and so far only) porn movie.

In the second of these posts, I revealed the porn name that I had chosen. I did not use the standard Name of First Pet/Name of Street Where You Grew Up algorithm (though, to be honest, doing so would have resulted in the terrific porn name Stan Savage); it was simply the inspiration of the moment. However, I have just gone back and removed it from the post, because yesterday inspiration struck much more powerfully and I have now come up with a porn name for myself that is quite possibly the most brilliant thing I will ever do and I should just kill myself now because it'll all be downhill from here.

And the name is:

Toby Defarge.

"Toby" is the bottomest name I can think of. And "Defarge" of course is the name of the woman in A Tale of Two Cities who works her enemies' names into her knitting, thereby dooming them to the guillotine.

Bottoming, knitting, and revenge. If only there were a way to add chocolate to the mix, I really would have distilled my very essence into a name, at which point I would probably never be able to reveal it to anybody for fear that, by using it, s/he would gain power over my very soul.

Of course, this is all moot anyway, unless I can persuade E.S. to appear in a porn movie with me.

Okay, I know what I'm asking for for my birthday next year.

Faustus becomes a home owner and pays the mortage with homemade porn ~ this is going to be as much fun to watch as Lucy and Ethel in the chocolate factory.

Toby McGuire is on line 3...he'd like a word with you.

3) Adam875 said (on 05/ 2/06 at 09:56 AM):

I'm not sure what's weirder - that you had a pet named Stan or that you grew up on Savage Street.

4) Kenny said (on 05/ 2/06 at 09:59 AM):

Toby Skor Defarge. The addition of a middle name is great for two reasons: first, Skor is a chocolate bar, so mission accomplished on that front. Also, Skor is a homophone for "score," which carries strong sexual overtones.

The only thing I'm unsure of is whether a middle name is acceptable in the world of porn.

5) John said (on 05/ 2/06 at 11:20 AM):

Personally, I think Stan Savage is better. But that's just me.

What would E.S.'s porn name be??

6) anapestic said (on 05/ 2/06 at 11:45 AM):

I'm sure that the scene where you're turning a heel while taking one (or two) for La République will bring tears to our eyes.

7) Ruby said (on 05/ 2/06 at 03:07 PM):

So if E.S. doesn't participate in it, you won't do another one? *Shocked* Where did the old Faustus go?

Are you saying this willingly or because the bf has put his foot down? ;)

8) goblinbox said (on 05/ 2/06 at 05:19 PM):

You truly are a genius!

9) tralfaz said (on 05/ 2/06 at 10:19 PM):

Hmmm.... The Tail of Two Cities. Toby Defarge works his enemies over, thereby dooming them to the guillotine.

10) Dave said (on 05/ 2/06 at 11:11 PM):

I'd like to preorder a copy, please. In fact, I'll take two.

11) campbell said (on 05/ 3/06 at 05:51 AM):

Nah! Toby Defarge is far, far too foofy for a nom de porn. If, on the other hand you were looking to work as an interior decorator.....

12) Uncle Zoloft said (on 05/ 3/06 at 06:57 AM):

Now Savage Defarge would really work as a porn star name.

Faustus, with a buzz cut, some tatoos and a few scars you'll be ready to go

Scene 1:
Savage Defarge sits naked amongst the Spanish Moss knitting a thong for his next gig at Splash. His attention is diverted to a student of psychology sunbathing while going over the works of Jung. [Savage looks into the lens and smiles like a Cheshire Cat, ready to plunge.]

13) Jeff said (on 05/ 3/06 at 11:12 AM):

Wait, how much did you get paid for the gig?

14) Anono.Blogger [TypeKey Profile Page] said (on 05/ 3/06 at 05:05 PM):

I would be "Bala Dahlgreen" and that sucks. I want a new name.

15) Jill Smith [TypeKey Profile Page] said (on 05/ 3/06 at 09:23 PM):

What, not Toby Godiva Defarge or Toby Defarge Ghirardelli?

16) Anonymous said (on 05/ 4/06 at 01:17 PM):

My pet/street name is Lulu Winston. Much sexier than Velma Biggers. I just may have to get a name change.

17) Eric said (on 05/ 4/06 at 05:22 PM):

Wow. That is a lot of thought. I usually just go with the traditional, which results in my becoming: Skunk Carter.
It's kind of more like a mob hitman name, I think.

18) Johnboy said (on 05/ 5/06 at 07:30 AM):

Will your Colt Men calendar be available at more discriminating newsagents in time for Christmas? Goodie, that's my shopping done!

19) Patrick M said (on 05/ 7/06 at 05:04 PM):

With bottoming, isn't chocolate always in the mix?

20) Sin said (on 05/ 8/06 at 10:55 AM):

The problem with my using the drag queen algorithm is that having grown up in a Third World country, I'd probably sound even MORE like a terrorist than I do now.

Then again, my first pet's name was "Tricks". Which as I'm sure you can imagine, would lend itself to any number of images.

21) Will C. said (on 05/ 8/06 at 11:54 AM):

My porn name -- according to your given algorithm -- is "Fluffy Partridge".

Hardly a top's name. I protest!

-- W

22) Mel said (on 05/ 9/06 at 02:37 AM):

I learned that pet/street was for drag & HS mascot/first car was for porn. For the former, I'm Bootsie Ponderosa - which means I'd have to do Patsy Cline numbers, cowgirl boots with fringe. For the latter, I'm Ram Nova (perfect, no?), but I do not expect to be getting any calls from the studios.

23) Frank said (on 05/15/06 at 08:59 PM):

Nice to see you've kept the original first name.

24) Kit said (on 09/26/06 at 04:18 AM):

I'd go with Toby "Fudge" deFarge
