Popshots of the Millennium Pt. V: Life of the “Pussy Party”

No porn sets were more consistently fun than the run of "Cousin Stevie's Pussy Party," which consisted of healthy competition and - much more important - a daylong shooting schedule in which everyone got to really know one another.

Seymore Butts' cousin Stevie joined the legendary pornographer to help him take care of his "Family Business." During the run of the Showtime documentary series, Stevie began shooting movies on his own, which became documents of 14-hour days spent following game, naked women as they crawled all over Porn Valley's juiciest performers.

"I'm not making Art," Stevie would (and still does) say. "I'm making masturbation fodder. You give me three minutes and I'll give you the world."

Maybe because no one was in a rush to get to the next porn set across the Valley, or maybe it was the competition angle that kept everyone focused, or maybe it was because - I have to admit - there were fewer guys around that made this series of movies so enjoyable. More than that, though, it was Stevie's benevolent Brooklyn lechery and sense of priorities and fun that made these weekend days a welcome diversion.

"I only cast people who I'd also like with their clothes on," Stevie said. Thus the happily married and devoted husband and father of two grown sons made sweaty and jubilant porn from the exertions of Flower Tucci, Amber Peach, Monica Sweetheart, Kami Andrews, Vivian West, Nicki Hunter, Sindee Jennings, Nikki Nievez, Alana Evans, and dozens of others before the series went on hiatus.

We hope the hiatus doesn't last too long, as we look forward to all tomorrow's Pussy Parties.
