At the Ace Hotel for Palm Springs Gay Pride over the weekend, James St. James bumped into gay porn star/author Aiden Shaw by the pool. Aiden is also a featured model and interviewee in Butt magazine, which sponsored the hotel’s Pride festivities. Aiden and James jumped into an impromptu interview about Aiden’s years as a sex worker in a London gay brothel, the joys of Ecstasy in the early ’90s, and his new novel, Sordid Truths. Aiden will be reading from Sordid Truths and signing copies this Wednesday at the San Francisco A Different Light bookstore at 7:30pm. A full Daily Freak Show about James’ weekend at The Ace is coming soon.
