Living in a World of Porn
I hail from the Porn Capital of the World. That's right, porn. SoCal's San Fernando Valley (see: Magnolia) is the mecca of all that is porn-y -- buying, selling, producing, you name it. And Chatsworth, my little hamlet wedged against the Santa Ana mountains, is the central hub of activity . That's our claim to fame: porn and raining frogs. Of course, growing up, I was always oblivious to this. It wasn't until high school that I became faintly aware of the undercurrent of the town. And it wasn't until college that I realized the peach house down the street was really a "production studio" for porno films. Fun times. Today we talk to Claire Hoffman about why the porn industry is suffering at the hands of its would-be savior: the Internet.
