We learned about the situation when we saw the booth with Stephanie Swift’s sexy picture plastered up in a larger than life poster at a booth three times the size of our humble little space. In the picture, her makeup looked great. Her hair was perfect. Her unblemished body had been digitally polished to perfection. Stephanie Swift was definitely not a Homegrown Video amateur anymore; rather, she was now a true blue film star. Thousands of trade show attendees would be filing past that image and looking up to it and wagging their tongues and pitching tent poles in their pants to salute her and encamp their approval so their little helmeted soldiers could stand at attention. Then if they spied our booth, they could march on over and find out why we had a booth painted with an image of Stephanie when lo and behold we had no Stephanie at our booth.

Having opted not to let the teamsters charge their exorbitant fees to carry the booth in and set it up for us meant we were sweating our balls off to carry every single heavy wood piece inside. Since we weren’t going union to get the job done meant a few things. One, we learned the hard way that we couldn’t bring the stuff in through the conveniently close exhibition space giant doors; no, we had to carry each piece the long way, all the way through the casino, down the endless hallways, and no form of cart was permitted.  So we were sweating and breathing hard when we stumbled across the booth which was already installed and it looked like a temple with Stephanie as its primary inspiration for worship. At first it chilled us and took our breath away, but with each subsequent trip past it, I grew more heated and let a big grudge grow. Now I wasn’t just hauling huge 4’x8’ sections of graffiti painted plywood I was carrying a heavy load of unwieldy anger which I desperately wanted to drop off on Ms. Swift Porn Superstar’s head.

As the assembly of our booth took shape, peers and business associates mulling about making sure their booths were in order and sizing up their competition.  The questions started in right away. “Why do you guys have Stephanie Swift painted on your booth when she has an exclusive contract and is signing over there?”

Great. Well at least I was going to get some practice coming up with excuses.

Author Eric Schlosser, who wrote the best sellers “Fast food Nation” and “Reefer Madness”, described Homegrown Video in the latter with these words: “Made by the people, for the people, Homegrown Video represents the democracy of porn”.  To this day, that description is one that fills us with a certain sense of pride and heritage, and continues to inspire us in our mission to offer authentic and patriotic amateur porn, which as much as ever still represents an essential freedom celebrating liberty and our right to pursue happiness – albeit of an erotic nature. There could be no more important basic way to express that freedom than through our sexuality which next to eating and sleeping and thinking is such a basic and essential part of life.  The right to express ourselves sexually and in a creative way personally and for the enjoyment of others is something that we feel absolutely precious about so obviously we have our own reasons for celebrating the 4^th of July with special enthusiasm and gusto.

This year Homegrown Video will celebrate the 4^th with a major site update that is sure to make our membership stand up and salute our eternally vigilant efforts to provide top quality amateur porn to a republic of fans that has shown over 25 years of loyalty and support.  We are finally restoring some classic sections from our previous site iterations as well as adding new sections that are sure to impress our audience with not only great freshly rendered amateur sex action but also enhanced ways to access the material and bond with other members of the community. The tireless efforts of our dedicated staff should  be saluted!

Mr. Lake,

I saw “curvy amateur girls, volume 1″ yesterday and like most other adult movies I dound it to be very boring because there was no I-M-A-G-I-N-A-T-I-O-N in Homegrown’s starlets with this particular adult vid! For example, NO PROFANITY! Something like “fuck me like a dog”, “fuck me till I scream”, and then “fuck me for screaming!”

No ass licking. Have two middle age white woman licking a buck negroes black ass for about an hour and then they begs him to them up and he takes turns fucking both of their pussy and their white ass. When he gets off then those sluts begs him to whip their butts with his belt until their asses is black and blue.

I also would love to see those 2 white sluts take turns finger fucking his black ass and then they stick their fingers in each others mouth!

Get the idea mr. Lake?!

Ed. Note: I get it. More colorful. More perverted. But I don’t want any liability from overly excessive butt licking…
