Porn Valley- Papa bear Bill Margold was on PervertRadio,www.pervertradio.comTuesday night. During the course of the interview, Margold mentioned that Pervert should consider doing a remote from Las Vegas in January at the upcoming Legends of Erotica Show. Margold said the date for that was January 7.
“It’s the real Hall of Fame,” said Margold. [Located at Showgirl Video, 631 S. Las Vegas Blvd.] Among the inductees will be Johnny Keyes, Angel Kelly, Mai Lynn and Lynn Lemay, in all probability. “The thing about Legends is it’s the most gratifying thing I’ve ever put together,” reflects Margold. “I do it in conjunction with Raymond Pistol, www.xxxdeepthroat.com, a wonderful man who should be interviewed for Pervert Radio. He’s one of the great unsung heroes of this business. ”
Margold described Legends as an annual audience of about 250 to 300 people. “The fans for the most part,” he says. “But when those speeches are made, the induction speeches and the presentations, you can absolutely hear a pubic hair drop. The reverence and the awe and the appreciation of The Legends by the fans has made me cry year end and year out.”
Margold says this is going to be the 11th show. “I have just stood there with tears pouring down at the affection that the fans show the performers and the admiration that the performers show to the fans for making them famous. It’s the greatest of all the events I’ve ever staged.”
Margold refers to the Legends show as being an inspired idea, and Margold mentioned how he was honored in 1998 and was dumbfounded. “It was one of the rare moments of my career that I was absolutely speechless.” Margold said he did manage to put in the cement the bear that he wears around his neck. “The bear that Viper gave me in December, 1986. It’s the only thing that I would not give away in my home.”
Last year’s host was Christi Lake. “She’s very special,” says Margold. “I’ve always referred to her as my spiritual sister. When I first met Christi I told her she’d be the heir-apparent to Nina Hartley who I refer to as the bowl of sunshine and is the greatest of all the people with the exception of Gloria Leonard who is the greatest of them all. I think Gloria’s the most important female in the history of this business and should come back. I’d love to bring her back one more time to take over Free Speech but she won’t do it. And I’m not even sure that Free Speech is worth taking over.”
Margold said the host this year for Legends is Summer Haze. “Christi has decided not to do it any more,” said Margold. “Summer and her gentleman- Craig Valentine- Summer and Craig look like lions. They have this sort of interesting look about them. Long hair, very lionesque people. And I’ve adopted them as I intend to do with most people and it will be her show now. And really her show is the second half. I host the Legends portion and then I turn over the dancing portion to someone a helluva lot better looking than me.” According to Margold, the proceeds are donated to PAW. “It’s my first official fundraiser of each year. Then the FOXE Awards- that’s also a fundraiser for Protecting Adult Welfare. It’s a lot more racy and exciting than the Legends event.”
