The latest feature, released this summer, is “Therapy”, a series of ten self-pleasure scenes that take place in a therapist’s office. It’s a fascinating journey inside the women’s minds as each visit to talk about her individual connection to sex. Viewers learn what excites the women, scares them, and what makes them wet. According to Jincey, “Women love being sexy, and they are embracing all things related to sex.” That is why Juicy Pink Box is more than its adult film offerings. “Juicy Pink Box is a lifestyle,” Jincey continues. “It’s about living the fantasy of an exclusive world that features glamorous ladies who love ladies.” It’s being compared to Hugh Hefner’s Playboy. As Hef in his smoking jacket once represented the quintessential bachelor, Jincey in her cocktail dress and Gucci heels represents the modern day femme on top of the world.
Juicy Pink Box hosts events that bring the experience to life. Invited guests enter an unmarked door where a woman in a short black dress pulls aside thick curtains, ushering in a world of temptation. Waitresses pour pink champagne into the flutes of the glitterati; photographers mingle with m usicians; Juicy Pink Box porn stars engage with elite hipsters…
Membership to JuicyPinkBox.com is $25 per month. A new erotic episode is released every week and website extras include behind-thescenes documentaries and interviews with the cast and crew, plus erotic portraits of the stars and photo stills from the set. “The glamorous world of Juicy Pink Box is not for everyone,” Jincey cautions. “We are for women who crave intense sensuality, soft caresses, and gentle seduction. If you are a woman who finds women super sexy and you fantasize about their curves or their lips on your lips, then we’re here and we welcome you to explore a new frontier.”

As part of Outword's Careers and Business issue, we have included some Sacramentans with interesting and successful careers in our print edition. There are many paths though, and here are five more exotic examples of gays who have found their calling:
Merrell Hollis, Makeup Artist for Wendy Williams What makes your job so amazing? I transform people with my own personal stamp. Did you always know you wanted to work with celebrities? I knew I wanted to work in the fashion industry but I wasn’t sure in what capacity. How did you land your job? I snuck on a music video set when I was 17 and met a make-up artist who took me under his wing and offered me my first job. Is the money good? It’s feast or famine. Some months the industry is rolling in dough with so many new jobs for artists. Other times, it can be as dry as the Sahara dessert! Make-up artists have to be smart with their money. What fringe benefits does your job offer? Benefits are fabulous: VIP parties, great seats in restaurants, travel all over the world. I meet people I would never meet in any other profession. What’s the worst part of your gig? It’s dog-eat-dog. I’m a good ol’ southern boy. Sometimes I feel like a guppy swimming with sharks. What does someone need to do to get your job? Learn everything you can about applying colors. Education and professionalism is key.

Brock Sousa, Event Production Manager, Manhunt.com What makes your job so amazing? I work for the biggest and best site for men to meet men, and I love that traveling and socializing with men from all around the world is part of the job. Did you always know you wanted to work in gay event production? No, I never thought I’d be working in this industry. I grew up in a conservative, strongly religious family where everyone shuddered when they heard the word gay. How did you get your job? Five years ago, I came upon a job posting on Manhunt seeking a Marketing Assistant. I really didn’t think in a million years I had a shot, but I applied and got hired. What fringe benefits does your job offer? I travel all over the world and meet lots of sexy guys, all on Manhunt’s tab. Who else would send me to Key West in the middle of winter to stay in a four-star hotel and throw a fun party? What’s the worst part of your gig? Being sent to an event in Nebraska in October when there’s a foot of snow on the ground. What does someone need to do to get your job? You have to be willing to start at the bottom (insert Manhunt joke here) and work your way up. Daniel Lee, Director of Male Massage Site, Manworks.com What makes your job so amazing? I like to get my hands in everything and with this job, I get to do that: from product development of new user features to marketing and sales. It’s great to have input in all areas of the site. Did you always know you wanted to do your job? I didn’t. I’ve done so many different things in my life. I was a stripper and a dotcommer. I worked for a non-profit, a national gay magazine, then consumer products. How did you get your job? I’ve known the CEO of Manworks.com’s parent company for years and with the launch of the new site, he needed someone to head it.

Dream Pink Collar Job
Is the money good? In this economy, isn’t any salary good? What fringe benefits does your job offer? I get offered free massages from gorgeous masseurs and bodyworkers. I have never taken advantage of the offer. What’s the worst part of your gig? There is an incredible satisfaction that comes with having an actual physical product be out in the marketplace that one doesn’t get at an internet company. What does someone need to do to get your job? A big bag of tricks. A person really has to have a broad, critical and strategic mind and a great sense of humor. There isn’t one specific area of the site that I am dedicated to so that requires a whole range of skills: writing, number crunching, editorial direction. I never thought my job promiscuity would ever be an actual asset, but in this case, it has been.

Jincey Lumpkin, Lesbian Porn CEO, Juicy Pink Box What makes your job so amazing? I own a company that produces lesbian porn. What’s incredible about my job is that I get to be around really exciting, “out there”, wild people who are living their lives the way they want to live them. I work with porn stars who let it all hang out, and that kind of honesty is really cool to be around. Did you always know you wanted to do your job? I never imagined I would become a porn producer. After graduating law school and while working at a super boring law job, I started writing a sex blog. Everything grew out of that. How did you get your job? I created it. I think that there are two kinds of people in the world: people who do things (“doers”) and people who wait (“waiters”). Doers get shit done. They don’t sit and wait for opportunities to come to them or for some magical moment where everything becomes clear. I am a doer! I go out and make things happen. I guess that’s why I became a producer. I don’t think being a “waiter” is bad, but it just means that while you are waiting, others are creating the very opportunities you might be waiting on. Is the money good? Mama don’t work for free! Pornography sales are higher than the revenues of ABC, CBS and NBC, combined. In this man’s market, I am making my place and creating content by women for women who like women. It’s sexy to know that my creativity is rewarded with a loyal, paying customer base. What fringe benefits does your job offer? Perks include seeing naked boobs for free all day long, invitations to cool parties filled with colorful characters and the ability to live glamorously. Life is better when it sparkles, I think. What’s the worst part of your gig? The hardest part for any boss is managing other people. I hate to reprimand people, but sometimes it’s necessary. I also hate it when people are late. People should realize your time is just as important as their time. What does someone need to do to get your job? Come and work with me! I’m looking for good interns. You might end up becoming a producer yourself. Tim Wildman, Men’s Swim/Underwear Designer, Wildmant What makes your job so amazing? I get to be creative, designing products, ads, Web sites, hang tags. It’s not a stuffy office job. Did you always know you wanted to do design? I always knew I wanted to be a designer but I didn’t know I wanted to be a men’s underwear/swimwear designer. How did you get your job? Built it from the ground up. Is the money good? The money that comes in goes right back out in order to grow the business. Growth is good — and we’ve got plenty of that! What fringe benefits does your job offer? My dogs are always with me. There’s never a shortage of pool party invitations. What’s the worst part of your gig? An unhappy customer. I don’t like it and we always try to fix it! What does someone need to do to get your job? Sleep with the boss. If you didn’t have your job, what other job could you see yourself doing? I would create chocolate bars. Wildmant Chocolates!

2010’s events predict more, and less, in 2011
PRESIDENT BARACK Obama makes Congressional calls from the Oval Office before the final Senate vote repealing the ban on gay men and women serving openly in the military, Saturday, Dec. 18, 2010. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)
by Lisa Keen
Keen News Service If past is prologue, 2011 should turn out to be a fairly decent one for the LGBT community. It’s not that everything turned out so rosy for the community in 2010, but the gains registered more powerfully than the losses. Here’s a look at the top five news stories for the LGBT community in 2010 and why, in many cases, they signal a better tomorrow: Congress passes a bill to repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. Anyone who was paying attention in 1993 knows what a devastating setback the community suffered with the codification of the military’s ban on gays. The commu-
nity itself had asked the newly elected Democratic President, Bill Clinton, to end the military’s long-standing policy banning gays from service. But instead, Senator Sam Nunn (D-Georgia) orchestrated a parade of testimony and innuendo to suggest that the mere presence of gays would violate the “sexual privacy” of heterosexual servicemembers. One female Naval petty officer testified that, “You are asking me to sleep and shower with homosexuals. You are asking me to expose my sexuality….” Not surprisingly, 56 percent of the public opposed allowing “homosexuals” to serve “openly” in the military in 1993. In December 2010, only 21 percent of Americans felt that way. And Democratic President Barack Obama, using a
strategy of sticks and carrots that sometimes angered the LGBT community, helped drive through passage of a bill that will eventually lead to a dismantling of the ban. What does that say about 2011? Given the shaky economy, high unemployment, and intense partisan divide in Congress, there is little likelihood the Obama administration will take on another piece of pro-LGBT civil rights legislation in 2011. The presidential election campaign of 2012 begins in earnest now and President Obama must tend to a wide variety of constituencies, as well as Middle America in general. But he has shown –even before repeal of DADT— that his administration is willing to use its power to adopt more LGBT friendly regulations and policies that will advance the LGBT civil rights ball down the field. And that is likely to be where the action will be, for the Obama administration, in 2011. Federal judge rules Proposition 8 unconstitutional. U.S. District Court Chief Judge Vaughn Walker ruled August 4, 2010, that California’s voterapproved constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage violates the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection and due process. The result came following a three-week-long trial in San Francisco during which famed conservative attorney Ted Olson and famed liberal attorney David Boies mounted a comprehensive case against Proposition 8, passed in 2008. They showed how the initiative harmed gay

LGBT equality lawmakers getting ready to be sworn in to office come January. During the 2010 election cycle, MassEquality made approximately 46,000 get-out-the-vote phone calls, and an additional 9,000 calls to district voters about our endorsed candidates. We mailed out 88,000 pieces of campaign literature educating our members and key district voters about our endorsed candidates. We recruited 62 organizers for Gov. Deval Patrick’s
reelection campaign (each of whom pledged to get 50 of their friends to support Patrick on Election Day) and 110 campaign volunteers. We also assigned a dedicated volunteer to work full-time on the Patrick campaign who liaised with the LGBT community. And during an October LGBT fundraiser for Gov. Patrick, MassEquality brought in a full third of the money.

Brock Sousa What does someone need to do to get your job? You have to be willing to start at the bottom (insert Manhunt joke here) and work your way up.
DANIEL LEE, DIRECTOR OF MALE MASSAGE SITE, MANWORKS.COM What makes your job so amazing? I like to get my hands in everything and with this job, I get to do that: from product development of new user features to marketing and sales. It’s great to have input in all areas of the site. Did you always know you wanted to do your job? I didn’t. I’ve done so many different things in my life. I was a stripper and a dotcommer. I

worked for a non-profit, a national gay magazine, then consumer products… How did you get your job I’ve known the CEO of Manworks.com’s parent company for years and with the launch of the new site, he needed someone to head it. Is the money good? In this economy, isn’t any salary good? What fringe benefits does your job offer? I get offered free massages from gorgeous masseurs and bodyworkers.I have never taken advantage of the offer. What’s the worst part of your gig? There is an incredible satisfaction that comes with having an actual physical product be out in the marketplace that one doesn’t get at an internet company. What does someone need to do to get your job? A big bag of tricks. A person really has to have a broad, critical and strategic mind and a great sense of humor.There isn’t one specific area of the site that I am dedicated to so that requires a whole range of skills: writing, number crunching, editorial direction. I never thought my job promiscuity would ever be an actual asset, but in this case, it has been.
JINCEY LUMPKIN, LESBIAN PORN CEO, JUICY PINK BOX What makes your job so amazing? I own a company that produces lesbian porn.What's incredible about my job is that I get to be around really exciting, "out there", wild people who are living their lives the way they want to live them. I work with porn stars who let it all hang out, and that kind of honesty is really cool to be around. Did you always know you wanted to do your job? I never imagined I would become a porn producer. After graduating law school and while working at a super boring law job, I started writing a sex blog. Everything grew out of that. How did you get your job? I created it. I think that there are two kinds of people in the world:people
Jincey Lumpkin who do things (“doers”) and people who wait (“waiters”). Doers get shit done.They don't sit and wait for opportunities to come to them or for some magical moment where everything becomes clear. I am a doer! I go out and make things happen. I guess that's why I became a producer. I don't think being a "waiter" is bad,but it just means that while you are waiting,others are creating the very opportunities you might be waiting on. Is the money good? Mama don’t work for free! Pornography sales are higher than the revenues of ABC,CBS, and NBC,combined.In this man's market,I am making my place and creating content by women for women who like women. It’s sexy to know that my creativity is rewarded with a loyal, paying customer base. What fringe benefits does your job offer? Perks include seeing naked boobs for free all day long, invitations to cool parties filled with colorful characters, and the ability to live glamorously. Life is better when it sparkles, I think. What’s the worst part of your gig? The hardest part for any boss is managing other people. I hate to reprimand people, but sometimes its necessary. I also hate it when people are late. People should realize your time is just as important as their time. What does someone need to do to get your job? Come and work with me! I’m looking for good interns. You might end up becoming a producer yourself. JANUARY 7-20, 2011 PULP · 13

’Juicy Pink Box’ opens new world of lesbian porn by Winnie McCroy EDGE Contributor Monday May 10, 2010
Jincy Lumpkin, Esq. was dissatisfied with what lesbian porn there was available to view; which led her to create her own. Called Juicy Pink Box, she takes the genre to a new level -offering women the opportunity to watch sensual porn made by lesbians, for lesbians in the comfort of their own home. EDGE’s Winnie McCroy spoke to Lumpkin about what she didn’t like about lesbian porn, how she got her company going and what the future has in store. Blond bimbos in tacky lingerie, leaving lipstick smears and stroking each other with their long acrylic nails: until recently, this "gay-for-pay" lesbian porn is what most women have had to be contented with. But now, thanks to Juicy Pink Box founder Jincy Lumpkin, Esq., women can watch sensual porn made by lesbians, for lesbians in the comfort of their own homes. "As a lesbian porn watcher, I had few options," said Lumpkin. "There was mainstream gay-for-pay porn, made for men by men, which for a lot of other lesbians was not arousing because it was not real. A second option came later, with the Crash Pad series out of San Francisco. Dyke porn is what they call it, and many lesbians find it too extreme. I wanted something in between, something real yet beautiful and cinematic, and that’s what inspired me to start Juicy Pink Box."
A place to share erotic experiences As a banking litigation lawyer, Lumpkin said she found her 70-hour work weeks unfulfilling, and the long wait periods between cases frustrating. Single at the time, Lumpkin remembers spending most of her down time amusing her straight male coworkers with stories of her dating exploits. Because she had intended to practice fashion law, she had maintained a fashion blog, but at her coworkers urging, started an anonymous sex blog in 2008. "There was a surge of interest-it took off in a way the fashion blog had not," said Lumpkin. "I thought that if people wanted to talk about their sex lives on the Internet, I might as well make a space for them to do it." Lumpkin connected with a network of lesbian sex bloggers and in the fall of 2008, launched Digiromp.com, a social network for women to share their erotic experiences. According to her, the site soon gained worldwide popularity as a space for lesbians, bisexuals, and genderqueer folks to talk about sex. Looking to make her site into a successful business, Lumpkin began toying with the idea of creating porn for women, by women. "I had it in my mind that I wanted to do porn videos, but as a lawyer, I had no contacts in the porn industry," said Lumpkin. "So I left my law job, and started contacting porn stars through fan sites. In July 2009, I shot my first video series, Taxi, a dozen encounters between women in the back of a cab."

High quality, unscripted vignettes The series had professional-quality styling, lighting, and aesthetics, all produced with a cinematic quality. The 10minute erotic vignettes didn’t bother with the premise of plot lines, but unlike soft-core "Skinemax" flicks, did feature graphic footage of penetration. The dialogue was unscripted and the narrative loose, but the scenes were shots with "all that stuff that makes it more like a movie than porn." Lumpkin said that although all of the scenes are filmed with the same aesthetic take, the actors "encompass a range of womanly beauty from pretty femmes to butches, styled in a way that makes them their sexiest possible." The Taxi series featured a classic retro look, with butches styled in a way reminiscent of Grease, cigarette packs rolled in sleeves in a soda-shop vibe. Her upcoming series Therapy, set for release this summer, will feature women in a therapists office, sharing their fantasies with an aesthetic she describes as monochromatic and futuristic, with a Studio 54 vibe. Lumpkin does not work with amateurs, but often uses the same actors, like crossover lesbian porn star Dylan Ryan. She asks her actors to keep their nails natural, and to keep the hair down there. "I don’t need them to have disco-era Three screen shots taken from the Taxi series. bush, but I want real bush, not shaven. That’s too prepubescent. I think it’s crazy how porn has penetrated our culture, so that women think that’s how they have to do things. I like it to be natural but glamorized." She released a new scene each week via her website JuicyPinkBox.com, a $25-per-month subscription site. Due to overwhelming demand, Lumpkin has began investigating releasing the series as full-length DVDs for home use, and has also added a new three-day trial membership for five dollars.

Her work has been screened at several film festivals, including CineKink in New York; Lumpkin was among audience members at the screening, and said women approached her after the film to thank her. According to Lumpkin, the site has reached its target demographic. "Honestly, most subscribers are bicurious and bisexual women, followed by lesbians, with straight men as a distant third," said Lumpkin. "People seem to be really excited about it. There is a market out there for those interested in seeing real lesbian sex in a way that’s glamourous." And while she no longer spends her days negotiating banking litigation, Lumpkin’s background in law has given her leverage in making her new business a success. Understanding the legalese of state and federal regulations has allowed her to safely push the boundaries of her content to include more graphic acts like fisting, which she says many lay people falsely believe is not permitted. She also writes all of her own contracts, without which she refuses to conduct business, saying, "I can see where the sticky points are from the beginning, and that has given me the armor to go forward in business, because I know the legal repercussions." The success of JuicyPinkBox.com has prompted Lumpkin to pursue a line of products, events, and parties. With her eyes on the model established by the Playboy Mansion, Lumpkin hopes that a successful series of parties may eventually be parlayed into a club, and a larger, more well-known brand featuring articles about the lesbian lifestyle and culture. "I am in it to win it, for the long haul," said Lumpkin. "This is an interesting time for lesbians; everybody is fascinated by them, and it’s reached a fever pitch in pop culture. I get creative fulfillment out of being a pornographer, and would like to become a household name."

PORN
THE SIZ BIZ
Has the Sizzle Fizzled in Porn? By Leif Garrison
Jason Pitt has made a career exposing himself. But earlier this month when the 21-year old adult film star announced that his next movie will be his last, he issued a statement on his website, www.jasonpittxxx.com, that exposed the dark side of porn. In it, he wrote: “I no longer want to be in an industry that doesn’t care. I no longer want to be the person who goes to events and watches other entertainers/models get plastered and high on drugs… This industry is getting worse… sloppy and unsafe… Studios are using pretty much anyone who walks in off the streets. More and more people that I know and are close to are turning up positive. I see very few models who actually have a plan for their future…” 38
GRAB Magazine
It was a hard blow (pun intended) to an industry that is already struggling with decreased sales due to the down economy and the nuisance of online pirating. The glory days when lots of sex equaled lots of money have ended and many now wonder if the sizzle has fizzled in porn. We spoke with the heads of three leading studios - Gary Blumenthal from OntheHUNT.com and Maverickmen.com, Michael Lucas from LucasEntertainment.com and lawyer-turned-lesbian pornstress Jincey Lumpkin who recently launched the first by-ladies-forladies studio JuicyPinkBox.com. Times may be tough in porn but they all contend there is still lotsa siz in The Biz. Leif Garrison: What is the state of porn today?
October 12, 2010
Jincey Lumpkin: It's pretty gross. It's sort of like American fast food: cheaply made for quick consumption, but with little substance. Michael Lucas: On the flip side, the flood of cheap content makes it difficult to find decent porn for free and that helps studios like Lucas Entertainment. Leif: What’s hurting the porn biz? Gary Blumenthal: For years, the industry felt it was impervious to economic conditions. This recent recession has proven that false. Porn is a luxury item. When people don’t have disposable income, less porn is purchased. Michael Lucas: Our sales continue to increase 20% year on year.
Leif: What is the biggest misconception about porn? Michael Lucas: That it's all about hot boys and hot sex. Some of it is, but most of it is just business like any other business.
Jincey Lumpkin: Today’s studios have boiled sex down to a few sex acts played out in the same scenarios over and over. The over-the-top cum shots and orgasm screaming is just not realistic. Quite frankly, I think this fake sex has become so pervasive that it has sadly crept its way into bedrooms across the country.
Leif: What do your customers want in their porn? Jincey Lumpkin: A real connection between sexy women. We give them that sensual interaction and present it in a way that still Leif: How do you feel about maintains a sense of fantasy to gay-for-pay porn stars (straight create a cinematic, elevated actors engaging in gay sex acts experience. on-screen for money)?

Jincey Lumpkin: We have a plenty of sizzle in the hizzle. 100% commitment to quality. New talent and new studios are creating a different kind of porn.

There will always be a place members want, you are for porn but studios need to keep producing quality porn. up with the wants of their viewing public.

Jincey Lumpkin: At the core, we all desire something real and genuine. Even if it's not glamorous, amateur porn is usually real. Leif: Do you think amateurs may one day trump studio porn? Jincey Lumpkin: Technology has certainly made it easier for people to make their own home movies. But here's the thing. We love to watch peoples' Youtube videos of their cutesy kids and cats, but we don't pay for that. What we do pay for are the bigbudget Hollywood movies. So, while amateur might not go away, it's not going to trump a sexy, well produced porn. Leif: How important are marquis names in a porn film? Gary Blumenthal: There are so many smaller studios. It’s not like the old days of big name porn stars.

Leif: Do stars still hold the power they used to? JJincey Lumpkin: Celebrity is an important part of our culture, and it's no different in porn. Each star has a certain way of approaching sex; his or her unique way of experiencing sex and giving pleasure. I'm always trying to find and cultivate new stars. Leif: Is it important for stars to create their own niche? Jincey Lumpkin: For sure. To cultivate a following, they need to offer something that makes them stand out from the crowd. Syd Blakovich, for example, has become known for something as simple as kissing down the women's backs and sort of breathing her way across the ass with her lips. It's amazingly hot. She does it because that turns her on, and it turns on her co-star. Those natural quirks make her memorable. Michael Lucas: There are more stars in porn and therefore their power diffuses. Leif: Porn star Jason Pitt recently announced he’s quitting the adult industry because he feels studios aren’t doing enough to keep their stars safe against stds. How do you respond? Jincey Lumpkin: Health and safety of our stars is a priority. For partner scenes, we require up-to-date full STD panel testing. Once we know that everyone has a clean bill of health, we let the stars negotiate their safe sex requirements. Also, I always buy new sex toys, and I let the stars keep them after each scene or we discard them. We do not recycle them for another scene. Michael Lucas: If every gay

man had sex the way we do on our sets, the HIV epidemic among gay men would be over. Gary Blumenthal: It is the responsibility of both the actors and the studios to keep themselves safe. Leif: What does the future have
in store for porn? Jincey Lumpkin: 3D is a big trend right now. At the AVN Expo in Vegas this past year I saw some really interesting gadgets that allow for mobile phone 3D porn. I am looking into 3D for Juicy Pink Box. Clearly I don't want it to be a gimmick, so it has to be incorporated in a chic way. There is also a trend toward interactivity. Michael Lucas: I don't think there is any single great idea floating around. There are a lot of interesting ideas and every company will have to knit them together in a way that makes sense for their company.
October 12, 2010
Leif: Is virtual reality just around the corner? Gary Blumenthal: I’m not really sure we are ready for that yet. Jincey Lumpkin: It will manifest pretty soon, but I don't think it will be a wide-spread phenomenon. Nothing beats having steamy sex with an intense connection. Feeling someone breath in your ear and move under your palm is not something a computer will provide. Leif: What exciting new releases can we expect to see soon from your studio? Jincey Lumpkin: We just released “Therapy”, a series of solo-masturbation scenes that take place in a therapist's office. I am the therapist, but I am off-screen asking questions. The women are playing different versions of myself. We talk in an impromptu dialog about feelings, fears and fantasies. We get to explore what turns them on in a way that exposes intense expression for the women. Mega mega hot. Very soon all of our titles will be available on DVD in stores in addition to streaming. Check out the site- we have a three day trial for a mere $5. Gary Blumenthal: As always we hope to grow the Onthehunt. com website and at the same time introduce people to what we consider is a new level of amateur porn in the Maverickmen.com website. Visit OntheHunt.com, Maverickmen.com, LucasEntertainment.com and JuicyPinkBox.com. Photos courtesy of Lucas Entertainment.

Is Jincey Lumpkin the Hugh Hefner of Lesbian Porn? The internet queer porn maven behind Juicy Pink Box wants to transform lesbian porn. LORI SELKE
Jincey Lumpkin pitches her company, Juicy Pink Box, as “a new digital media Playboy,” only with lesbians. She styles herself as the Chief Sexy Officer of her company, a Hugh Hefner of the new millennium. And lest you think the comparison is merely superficial, listen more closely. She hopes to have JPB sponsor private parties and public events galore, plus she envisions launching a line of products – “not adult products,” says Lumpkin, but items like premium vodka, “a line of lipstick. I’d like to become a well-known, mainstream brand. A lifestyle brand.” Lumpkin describes her web-based lesbian porn video company as “sexy, not seedy; above-board, chic.” Launched in December of 2009, it took off like a rocket. Its emphasis on glamour and style might make the average lesbian a little suspicious—after all, lots of people have tried to sell us slick up girl-on-girl action without any sort of depth or connection to the community or our real desires and fantasies. And, starved, we often lapped it up, but resentfully. How is Lumpkin and JCB different?

For one thing, Lumpkin loves butches. “I wanted to see butch women in a sexy role,” she says emphatically. “Sexy female masculinity.” Butch-femme is central to Juicy Pink Box’s aesthetic. For another, Lumpkin tired of clichés. Especially the one about how women need a story to appreciate porn. She says she likes to imagine her erotic clips as like sex scenes cut from a movie—the story’s there in the background, but the viewer gets to start directly with the good stuff. In other words, when Lumpkin says she wants “glamorous lesbian porn,” what she means is that she intends to provide the highest production values possible, wedded to the hottest sex caught on film. “Styling is a huge aspect of what we do,” she says, and that means everything from wardrobe and makeup to set dressing and lighting. What it does not mean is an emphasis on the soft and sensual. Ask Lumpkin who her inspirations are, and she cites Helmut Newton and David Chapelle. Glam with an edge, in other words.
Lumpkin does her best to foster chemistry and connection between her actors and, once they’re styled and lit, letting them do their thing without too much pulling of strings. “I don’t script any dialogue,” she says. “I like to allow performers some room to do what turns them on. I never make anyone do anything they’re not comfortable with.” This makes for sex onscreen that is both natural and highly charged. Lumpkin is also aware of the complexities around identity and presentation that her work presents. She says that she doesn’t call the material at Juicy Pink Box “dyke porn” because she doesn’t like the word, but she knows that many of her performers proudly identify themselves as dykes and queers, and that’s OK with her, too. She also notes that her audience isn’t just lesbian-identified women. In fact, the biggest slice of her subscribers right now identify as bisexual— and straight (straight men run a distant third.) “It’s cool to open this sort of porn” to other women regardless of their personal identification, Lumpkin says. So how did Lumpkin end up in the lesbian porn business? She started out by coming to New York City to work as a fashion lawyer. The firm she worked for encouraged her and the rest of the staff to bill as many hours as possible despite the fact that there wasn’t much work to go around. So in order to keep from dying of boredom, Lumpkin started an anonymous sex blog. It turned out to be a big hit, so she moved on to founding DigiRomp, a place for women of all orientations to talk to each other about their sexual experiences. “It immediately blew up,” Lumpkin says, so she paid off her investors, quit her job, and contemplated her next move. Meanwhile, queer porn stars were using DigiRomp to

interact with their fans in a safe space, and she made the online acquaintance of Jiz Lee. Lumpkin gushes, “she’s fantastic.” Lee gave her some guidance and helped connect her with other performers, and soon Lumpkin was teaching herself how to do video in preparation for the launch of her next project. As for the future? “At first, I thought I’d only do it online,” Lumpkin says, “but now, DVDs are something I am looking into.” She plans on releasing sometime in 2011 a compilation of all 11 episodes of her series Taxi, where two (or more) women get busy in the back seat of an N.Y.C. cab. Next up would be the solo Confessions series. After that, well, you just might want to cadge an invitation to the inevitable JPB Mansion housewarming party. It’s sure to be a blast.

Jincey Lumpkin, Esq., is the Chief Sexy Officer of Juicy Pink Box, a company devoted to making porn for women who like women. The first venture of its kind, the films offer women a new option in a world of lesbian pornos filled with fake tits, fake hair, and fake orgasms made by and for men. We caught up with Lumpkin to chat about moving from fashion law to lesbian porn, challenging stereotypes, and what she thinks makes for a really hot porno.

Out: What are your first memories of porn? Jincey Lumpkin: God [laughs]. Well, I grew up in the South -- in Georgia -- and I come from a really small of town of like 30,000 people, so I did not know one single out gay person, man or woman. This was in the pre-Ellen [DeGeneres] days, so I had absolutely no concept of lesbians what so ever. So, the very, very first thing was that I found porn videos in my house where my dad had hidden them in between the drawers in our media room. I learned more about lesbians, actually, from The Howard Stern Show. So then how did you get started in the industry? I came here to New York -- I'm a lawyer by trade -- to practice fashion law, and while I was building up my practice, I took a job doing banking litigation, just to build up clientele. It was crazy; we worked like 70 hours a week, but we did nothing for months on end -- like 10 months. Nothing. No work. And I sat study hostel-style with about 30 other lawyers in a team and we just talked. Like, what can you do? You can only surf Facebook for so long. We would talk -- I was single at the time, this is in 2008 -- and they said, "Why don't you start writing a sex blog?" I was already writing a blog about fashion law. So I did. I started writing this anonymous sex blog, and it was crazy. It took off really well. And I saw that it was so different from the fashion law blog, in terms of the interest that was there, so I started thinking, "OK, people really like to read about lesbian sex. How can I do this for a living?" I knew I always wanted to do videos, but I was a lawyer, I didn't have any contacts in the adult industry whatsoever. So, basically, I thought about ways to bring the lesbian community together to talk about sex. So in the summer of 2008, I launched DigiRomp.com, a lesbian social network where women come to talk about their sexual experiences. And so from that I was able to aggregate everybody into one place, and then the porn stars came to me, because that's where their fan base was. So I was able to network with all these authentic lesbian porn stars, who were coming mostly out of San Francisco, because they have the dyke porn movement there. I don't like to call it that, because I don't like the word "dyke," but that's what they call it. So from that, I was able to really start that dialog with them, and then in January 2009 I started preproduction on my first series. Actually, before that, in August 2008 is when I left the law. So I'm a full-time porno lady. What is your least favorite part lesbian porn made by men, for men? Well, the fact that it's made by men, first of all because, I mean, we've all seen it. It's just -- for years and years, there were really no options. You go to the porn store, everything looks the same, it's mostly all women with huge tits and blonde, fake hair, long nails, and they're fucking each other with purple, sparkly dildos, and that is obviously not how most of us have sex. So that was frustrating for me to want to watch porn and to be totally not aroused by that. And so in 2006, I think, is when the dyke porn movement started in San Francisco, and I bought Crash Pad

Series, which was their first big film. I thought, Wow, all right. This is real women having sex with women who like to do it. These are lesbians, or whatever, however they label themselves. But at the same time, that was very unglamorous, in a way, and kind of not necessarily a lot of attention to the aesthetics of it. So I wanted to do something that was a good mix between the two of those. Something that was glamorous but also real lesbian sex. So that's where Juicy Pink Box came together. We're forever hearing that women aren't stimulated visually and therefore, they aren't interested in porn. Well, that's not true. That's a myth. And recently, I think it comes from the fact that women have had a hard row to hoe. It's gotten a lot better in the past couple of years, but I think the sexuality part of us was sort of denied for a long time. We were supposed to be sexual creatures but not talk about it. And so for a long time, we never even talked about masturbation, or anything like that. And I think shows like Sex and the City and The L Word helped to sort of bridge that gap. So now, we are much more comfortable talking about sex in public. It always went on kind of behind the men's backs. Because women, that's like the number one thing -they love to talk about sex. They love to talk about it, they love to read about it and they love to watch it, too. It's just that they don't necessarily like to watch the same kind of porn that men like to watch. They want to see something that isn't just 20 minutes of straight vagina shots. They want to see something with foreplay, they want to see a connection. Now, a lot of people have said that women have to have a story, and I don't believe that that's true. Everybody that I know who watches porn just fast-forwards right to the sex scenes. So for Juicy Pink Box, that's what we do. It's like sex in a movie, but just the sex scene itself. Cinematic and classic, but just that five-, seven-, 10-minute long sex scene. Right, you don't need the pizza delivery woman ringing the doorbell. [Laughs] The softball coach, totally.

Bienvenido al mundo de BABYLON
¿BI AHORA, GAY DESPUÉS? ¿ ¿Cuál es la razón para que en la comunidad –especialmente entre los gayshaya tanta fobia hacia las personas bisexuales? ¿Puede ser porque muchos h han usado la “bisexualidad” como una prueba antes de lanzarse de cabeza h a la homosexualidad? ¿O porque creen a pies juntillas que en cuanto un tío ttiene una relación homo entonces ya se queda ahí? Hemos preguntado a algunos personajes cuál es su posición frente a la bisexualidad. a
Ron Perkov Out Singer “Hay tantos tipos de amor. En vez de empeñarnos en etiquetar, dejemos ser a cada uno como es. Como el título de mi nuevo single: “It doesn’t matter” (no importa).”,
Raven O Superstar Andrógino “Un agujero es un agujero cuando las luces se apagan. Estoy seguro de que “su santidad” el Papa tiene la respuesta a si la bisexualidad es o no real. Yo no. Después de unas cuantas copas todo es posible.”
Jonathan Crutchley Fundador Manhunt “Estando soltero, intentaba quedar con tíos hetero casados o con novias. De hecho, mi actual pareja (con el que llevo diez años) tenía novia cuando nos conocimos. La dejó y se vino conmigo, y ahora es completamente gay – o eso espero. Creo que la bisexualidad es un hecho, algo real.”
Jincey Lumpkin Juicy Pink Box “Antes me definía como bisexual, pero era antes de que tuviera una novia formal. Una vez que me enamoré, me dí cuentea que nunca había tenido nunca esa conexión con un tío, y supe que era lesbiana. Pero me llevó 25 años darme cuenta. Mucha gente piensa que son bisexuales, cuando deberían definirse como homosexuales porque se han condicionado con que ser gay o lesbiana es malo. Crecí en una pequeña ciudad de Georgia, y no habían gays o lesbianas visibles. Ninguno. Era antes de Ellen, así que no sabía que había mujeres que podían sentir atracción por otras mujeres. ¡No sabía lo que era una lesbiana! Lo supe a través del Show de Howard Stern.
Leah Driscoll Pop Star/ Hetero Mariliendre “Pudiera parecer que quienes se llaman a sí mismos bisexuales con el tiempo se de nen como gays o lesbianas. La gente no cree en la bisexualidad. Queremos pensar que todo tiene que ser o blanco o negro, sin grados intermedios.Y las personas bisexuales son precisamente esas tonalidades intermedias. Sentimos la necesidad de etiquetar a la gente – tú frente a mí, nosotros frente a ellos. Creo que la idea que tiene la gente de la bisexualidad la hace sentir incómoda. Al n y al cabo, pienso que nadie está en el poder de juzgar los sentimientos de nadie.”
DJ Seth Gold Gay Spinner “Creo que si hablas con un hombre que ha sido la pareja de otro hombre durante 20 años, te dirá que él es exclusivamente gay. Por otro lado, si hablas con alguien más joven, de 20 años en un instituto que tiene novia y a la vez un tío amante, seguro que te dirá que es bisexual. Lo que crea cada uno está basado en su propia experiencia. Pienso que la mayoría de los gays no creen en la bisexualidad porque ellos se sienten muy orgullosos de ser gays. Pero, como quiera que sea, pienso que la bisexualidad es algo real, que existe.”
