Many ask `Just Who IS Chi Chi LaRue?. Well, take a look at what the encyclopedia has to say: `Larry David Paciotti (born November 8, 1959) is an American film director of gay, bisexual and straight pornography. He is best known in his drag persona as Chi Chi LaRue and has also directed under the names Lawrence David and Taylor Hudson. Director and DJ Paciotti, mainly acting under his drag diva persona, Chi Chi LaRue, is one of the most recognizable names and faces in the adult film industry. His fame far surpassing that of most superstars he created over the past decades. Beginning in the press department for Catalina Video, a label he now owns under his company Channel 1 Releasing, it wasn't long before Chi Chi LaRue's creative spark set afire. He was soon directing some of the highest selling releases of all time. Multi-award winning and an GayVN Award Hall of Fame inductee, Chi Chi has branded his name and image creating everything sex toys to candles to Chi Chi LaRue water, all sold at his adult boutique.'

In this 2007 book based on outtakes form his film by the same name he once again manages to challenge the borders of fantasy and taste, his models here are in (and out of) costumes that represent a rather wide variety of erotic situations. There is a definite emphasis on leather, sweat, heavy lifting, and challengingly raw situations. His models seem to enjoy the tease of being viewed through the camera lens and the result is a collection of sensual setups - with a definite tongue in cheek added!
