Today I got an amazing email!!

Dear, Buck

You’ve been such an inspiration to my son who is also a female to male transexual. It would mean so much to me if you could send an autographed photograph to:

XXX

He has been such a struggle, it has costed so much money to make him happy and sometimes there was lots of doubt wether this was the right decision but you, buck was always there for him and has been a major impact on his life. Thanks for everything you’ve done for us. I hope you can get back to us soon, because it would mean so much.

Yours Truely,
(Mother of Kristian)

My trip to speak at YALE was so great. The minute I got there the girls from SWAY (SEX WEEK AT YALE) had a car waiting for me at the airport to take to 2 hour drive to CT. Once there the girls met me at the school to show me my private room on campus at the Masters College. Already I was feeling like a king.

It was freezing and thank god I had just bought a new down jkt. Amazing the gym was right next to my room and was fully equiped to give me a killer workout. I was a bit nervous as I was speaking at the Master’s house in front of students and professors.

So after finally having a couple days to rest and feel grounded. It was time to do my talk. Before the talk Master G had me over for a lunch with him and some of the students.I had been getting some threats on my visit to YALE so just to be on the safe side the school had police outside of every event. I just could not believe how I effect people so much they go as far as to threaten me!

After that it was time for the talk and as I walked from the dining room into the living room where it was jammed packed with not one bit of walking room. WOW I was so overwhelmed.

I sat down in front of the students and Master G and I were seated in front in chairs facing everyone. It was basically a very informal story telling time. All eyes on me no time to get shy!!

My talk started with a thank you to Master G and the fellow students for having me at Yale to speak as I was very honored to be there. I had not graduated high school so in all my wildest dreams I would have never thought I would be speaking at Yale.

Speaking at Master's Tea

After the thanks I started with talking about my childhood and how it was not a bad one and that it is important for people to know that I did not come from a bad childhood and thus that is not why I do what I do or who I am. Then I basically went through my whole life story, My drug addiction, suicide attempts, self hatred into becoming the man I am. I think I really made such an impact on people at the talk. They were so attentive and just so interested in my story it was so powerful for me!

Then I showed and episode of BUCKING THE SYSTEM and after opened it up to Q&A. Got all amazing questions from everyone. Then after had people lined up to take pics with me and say thank you.

Later that night I was on a Sex Panel with all the hottest women in porn! Joanna Angel, Tristan Taramino, Madison Young and Sasha Grey. It was moderated by my good friend and editor of Fleshbot Lux Alptrum. The panel discussion was centered around our work and how we are breaking down the norms of waht people think are porn and sexuality and gender. Great panel.

What an amazing life I have:)

Check out some of the other posts made about my trip to YALE. Not everyone thought it was a good idea! But that was why it was so powerful for me to speak there. I have broken down some of the walls and hatred that people have around people like me.

WOOF!!

Today I received this email and wanted to share..

Buck,
I stumbled on your website through a random chain of procrastination related web surfing. I’m sure you get supportive emails all the time from trans folks, but I thought I’d take a moment to let you know that there are us run-of-the-mill “breeders” :-p out there that support you and love what you’re doing. You have more balls than most men I know for putting yourself completely out there and educating people and promoting tolerance. Whether you realize it or not, and whether or not the results are immediately clear or may never be evident to you; you’re planting seeds of tolerance in people’s minds and hearts and you have my utmost respect and pride for that. Keep on keepin on!

Been working hard on my new bodybuiling site.Also getting ready for Yale and Nyc

First in a series of Body Building videos for my new website buckangelbodybuilding.com. In this video I talk about the importance of good food and pre-workout eating. I show you one of my favorite workout foods. Breakfast Protein Oatmeal.

Just returned from a month on the road. That was super intense. First I performed and showed a film a made exclusivly for the Edmonton Queer Arts Fest. called “THE BEST OF BUCK” Everyone loved it and I got 2 standing ovations. I was so nervous to watch how people reacted a just stood outside the filming. Then after I was called onstage to talk and answer questions about my work. that was fun as I really enjoying speaking to people.

The next day I was doing a live modeling show for artists. That was a blast and I had someone film that so I got some great footage for my reality show on buckangel.com.

Then I performed at steamworks where I did a live show and had a great write up on the show here on xtra.ca
But before the show Jackson who was one of the organizers of the show is also a photographer asked me to shot some photos with him. So of course I was excited( we have actually been trying to get that going for a while) I love the way they came out. I will be posting some later but here is a shot from behind the scenes.

From Edmonton I flew back to Mexico for one night to change my bags then off to Los Angeles to shoot for a new show on Spike TV.I was super excited as this was my first really mainstream tv show. I have been trying to get people to give me more of a chance on tv in the USA but they are so closed minded when it comes to a pornstar.

After that I was shooting for a new HBO show about the sex industry and then I did a 3 hour long interview with my buddy and co-author for my book Shaun Proulx. We shot at his hotel in west hollywood. Read the whole story on Shaun’s blog here.

Finally I got to meet for breakfast with my great friend Selene Luna. She just bought a new car, a mini!! She looks so hot driving it.

Then the next day I did a DVD signing at the Dyke bar Palms in WEHO. There is a club called Strapped there. loved meeting all my gay lady friends and spending time with them It’s so great to see my female fan base grow.

Ok this was probably the freakiest part of the trip..I got an email from Tyra banks Show and they asked me to fly to NYC for the show. I was already scheduled for a show the next night so I had to fly the redeye that night and do the show that next day to be wisked back to the airport to get my butt to Austin Young’s show downtown called BEYOND DRAG. I actually did it! But I am paying the price now. I am so exhausted. that is really hard on the body! I will talk more about the show later, But it airs in Feb.

Then the next day I was off to SF where I did a DVD signing at my friend Paul King’s tattoo shop Cold Steel on Haight street. I had a really great turn out. Amazing people came to see me.

Finally I am home and now resting up for my next trip which will be the Athens, Greece Porn Film Festival.

Oh one last thing! My friend Tristan Taormino mentioned me in one of her new interviews in Fleshbot. Check out the interview on her it’s great and see what she said.

WOOF!!

This is such a funny video. I loved shooting over 4 years ago and it never gets old! Bizarre magazine ROCKS!

Smitten Kitten in Minn. invited me to celebrate with them for their 6th bday! They were the very first store in the USA to have the balls to carry my very first DVD. After that we formed a great relationship. They started around the same time that i did and we have seen each other grow leaps and bounds.

My trip started with an early flight from Mexico to be picked up by Clare at the airport. That is always cool when you don’t have to take a cab. Then off to eat and check into my hotel. I rested for about an hour then she picked me up for my first night at the Kitten. I did a talk about my life in the porn business, How I started and some of my background. Then I opened it up to a Q & A. I had a packed house which is always nice. They really support my work there and you can feel it by the great energy people gave off. These are pics from that first night at the shop.

The Crowd

The next night I did a DVD signing for my new release ULTIMATE FUCKING CLUB it was the world premiere of the film and we showed it while everyone just mingled. I signed lots of DVDs and posters.

Now I am on day three and non stop between going to the gym with Clare everyday. She was so nice to pick me up and take me. I freak out if I miss the gym..So now it’s saturday night and I have to do my BDSM performance. I had two really great guys show up to perform with me and we practiced only the day of but we all had great energy together it worked out.
