Page Six is all over the story of Dessarae Bradford and her self-published, spiral-bound "instant but unverifiable classic" "My S/M Romp with Alec Baldwin" again today (a story we broke here last week), and quotes Alec Baldwin as denying ever having met the "tattling tempstress". Since Dessarae was kind enough to give us her phone number when we met her at Erotica LA, we thought we'd give her a call this morning in Los Angeles to see what she thought about the news ...

Interview: Dessarae Bradford
Exclusive for Fleshbot - 7/1/04

Dessarae Bradford @ Erotica LA expo, June 2004
Fleshbot: So did you hear about the New York Post this morning? You made Page Six.
Dessarae Bradford: Wow, I had no idea! Someone called me from there to get a book but I didn't know they would write anything. I'm shocked and glad. I love the fact that they were titillated enough to write something. This is just the beginning!
Fleshbot: They quote Alec Baldwin as saying he never met you.
DB: Oh God, of course he would say that. But it happened, trust me. I still have the vibrator. Maybe I can scrape off the evidence and get a DNA sample or something?
Fleshbot: But not the Hershey bar, right?
DB: No, he ate that (laughs).
Fleshbot: So how's the book selling?
DB: It's doing well. I'm getting more links and coverage. I've gotten orders from the UK. Someone just ordered five copies. Maybe they're for Alec.
Fleshbot: Have you gotten a lot of feedback about it? What do people think?
DB: The women I've talked to think it's girl power at its finest. They're really into it. I call it my "women's locker room story." And the guys all think Alec's a jackass so they're all for it too.
I've only had two negative emails, like "That's fucked up" or "You're a freak". I just wrote back and told them to get laid. I don't worry about it. I'm happy about the experience.
Fleshbot: And what about Alec Baldwin's people? Any word from them?
DB: So far the only person that had a problem with the book was with this guy that said he was Alec's cousin who came to my booth at Erotica LA. He was all pissed off and said he was going to call Alec and tell him about it but I think he was full of it. He did look like Alec though a little.
I don't know why he's mad. It's more coverage than he's gotten in years. That's probably the first time the New York Post has contacted him since 1985 or something. As long as he doesn't get rude or crude or stupid with me, he can deny it all he wants. I'm still gonna talk about it. As long as he doesn't affect my book sales. I'll have to pull down his pants and fuck him again.
I talked to someone from The Star and they are scared to run the story. They say they don't know how to describe the contents, but some guy there said he talked to Alec's people and they said Alec's not going to sue. No shit. Help me get media coverage, 'cause I'm going to take this all the way.
Fleshbot: How far is "all the way"? What are you hoping to get from all this?
DB: I want this to be everywhere. I want my book to be part of the public record. In the Library of Congress. I want me and Alec to be on Larry King. It's nothing to be ashamed of, for me or for him.
And I have lots of stories about my experiences. I want it to springboard on to other things - movies, writings. But that's down the road. Right now I'm just having fun with it.
I heard that Alec is going to be on Bill O'Reilly in August. Should I send him a copy?
FB: Make him buy one!
DB: Well I've given away more than I've sold. I need to make some money off this!
Fleshbot: So what else are you doing with yourself these days?
DB: I do nothing now but promote my book. I'm not going to stop until I'm satisfied with the coverage I get.
Fleshbot: Anything else you want to share with Fleshbot readers?
DB: Tell them I'm not a trannie. I've had a few people ask me that. I am all woman, baby. And buy the book!
Fleshbot: We'll let them know. Thanks Dessarae!
DB: Thanks, take care!
