Porn Prognostications

Video Willed the Rock and Roll Star

by Nobody Special

Clearly most of us at risqué tend to appreciate the written word, and we happen to love porn prognostications. That comes as no surprise to anyone who has ever even glanced at one of our pages. Similarly, as you might expect, in addition to writing, we read a lot. Sometimes we even read about the adult industry — a practice often laced with no small amount of personal humor, since the majority of these writers happened to be in grade school when I first got into the business. (Actually, some of today’s “stars” had yet to be born, but we try not to talk about that little detail too much at the office. In fact, moving rapidly along appears distinctly in order at this point. … )

The AVN “Evolution” notwithstanding, we have made much mention over the past few years with regards to the transformation of the adult industry, no small part exemplified by the rise in “importance” of XBIZ and its various web incarnations. Well, they ran an article last week showing the results of a poll on the readers’ views regarding the potential for Porn Superstars in the future.

A Penny Flame for Our Thoughts

In For A Penny …

by D.Minion

When I’m not watching porn (purely for research reasons, of course), I like to watch what I call, “Thank God That’s Not Me” shows. I enjoy The Dog Whisperer because, “Thank God Akasha and Buda are very well behaved!” I like Jon and Kate Plus Eight and the Dugger Family because, “Thank God I don’t have all those kids!” [The rest of us regularly think, “Thank God I don’t live with D.Minion. … By the way, although ostensibly talking about Penny Flame today, we should mention that the few photos that accompany this editorial are not of Penny. Theoretically The Boss will explain why we’re using them on the video page. If not, well, that’s SEP in Douglas Adams’ world.]

But my new favorite program is Dr. Drew’s Sex Rehab. “Thank God I don’t have those problems!” Although I have great sympathy for people who do. [OK. So we’ve already said our bit about famous people having lots of sex in the New Stuff opening, but in all seriousness this does seem to be an affliction that most of us have trouble even seeing this as a potential issue. Drink too much? … Got it. … Use illegal drugs? … Completely understand. But like sex too much? To the point it starts taking over your life? … That’s a tough one. Of course, we’re in the porn business, so we’re probably not the most objective judges on the topic.] Continue Reading Risque →

House of Perez

A House of Cards (as it turned out)

by D.Minion

DAY ONE — HOUSE OF PEREZ

As I mentioned in my Sophia story, I believe that when humans announce their plans, God laughs. And I’m sure He was chuckling in Heaven as Lucky and I got ready to cover the last story of our Ninn Worx career, House of Perez. Except we didn’t know it was the last story … [Despite her relatively lengthy career in the adult business, D.Minion still approaches things with a refreshing naivete. The much more worldly, and therefore cynical, among us saw the writing on the wall weeks before this particular shoot, and some day we’ll write about that. Today, though, we have enough to cover, what with DM’s 650+ pictures (and a half-dozen typically bizarre video clips). For now, just understand we realized that when the owner suddenly sells his business and becomes a 49% shareholder in a new business, well, odds are extremely good that this will end badly. … So let’s get on to the pretty girls. … That’s Renee Perez adorning the next paragraph. Good-Lookin’ thing, isn’t she?]

Risque Origins — Let There Be Sight

Origins of Our Species

by (Just) Steve

[Ah, Risque Origins. What a topic, and one we approach quite carefully in some situations, just so you know.]

I guess D.Minion ran across some old pictures of the very first member’s party the Risqué gang held in Las Vegas, and to show you how jaded they’ve all become, nobody could remember much about it. [Hey, we can’t remember what’s in the storage room, and we have a couple of databases detailing the contents, and we’re in there every day. Be nice to old people, there, Mr. Use a Dog House for a Chicken Coop.] Since Lon and I were the only members able to attend (actually, we might have been the only members period way back then) she and Lucky figured the experience must have been seared into both our minds and we’d be able to supply a blow by blow account of the entire evening. Now, I’m quite sure I haven’t attended so many porn functions as a Risqué insider that I’ve become jaded, too. More likely it’s just advancing age that’s clouded my memories. But here are the few tidbits I can be reasonably sure happened that night. [For what it’s worth, I’ve been hanging around with porn stars for twenty years, and “reasonably sure” represents the highest standard one can hope for, actually. It gets distracting. When you literally have clothing older than some women making sex movies for a living, well, you try not to think about it. Ah, Risque Origins … ]
