1/28/15 Breanne Benson & Sarah BlakeIn a completely uncharacteristic burst of timeliness and relevance, we have returned from the “2015 Adult Entertainment Expo” in Las Vegas with our observations. OK. So technically we brought back well over 200GB of data from shoots and such, and it will take a bit of time to get all of that organized, but we do have written observations, which we have enhanced with Sarah Blake and Breanne Benson for those people that prefer the more traditional observations. Spend some time considering lofty issues, you know, while watching lesbian sex on a rooftop in downtown LA. [STAR TAGS: Sarah Blake Video, Breanne Benson Video]

1/18/15 AEE 2014Being the exceptionally clever sorts, it occurred to us that we should probably put up the coverage of last year’s AVN Awards show before we left for Las Vegas to attend the one this year. Yeah, sometimes we display a truly dizzying intellect. As we prepare this time, though, we have more than 50 years of combined experience, so we know exactly what to do. In fact, our ledger that shows the posting schedule lays out the plan perfectly: It says, and you will notice the quotes here: “VEGAS BABY! … Eat Ice Cream … Get Fat … Don’t Care. … So there.” And now you know how the professionals do it. … See y’all in a week.

1/17/15 Chantelle Fox People come in from all over the world to hang with us at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas. Each year you will find us amazed at how many people we have never even met will schedule often expensive trips just hoping to buy us a beer. Of course some less enlightened folks might think that all of these strangers have traveled to the “City of Lights” to see all the porn stars, but we’re pretty sure that can’t be it. And we’re never wrong — at least that we can remember. [STAR TAGS: Chantelle Fox Exclusive Video, Bliss Dulce, Karmen Karma, 247AdultStars.com]

While we can think of 13 reasons not to get away today, we can think of 24 reasons that we absolutely should stop thinking about reality so much. Of course we do not mean to imply that 24-13 has any significance at all after the playoff games this past weekend. … Nope. … Can’t remember a thing. Been thinking about Taren Steele and Dee.

1/1/15 Faye TaylorNext year we want to be on the college bowl selection committee. Honestly we couldn’t care less which teams actually play in the games; we just want to help pick the names of the bowls themselves. Of course we understand that sponsorship means money to these places, but it can get silly. We’re starting to get them named after duck call manufacturers, if you can believe that. We have some that appear to be just colors, which seems confusing, because who pays for those? And when was that last time you associated anything “new era” with pinstripes? What, do they sew the little lines with itty-bitty binary code or something? … While we Welcome in the New Year in the fashion people pretty much care nothing about imitating anyway, you can think about what you might like to see in the next college football season. So far we know we want a mini-championship that we could use like every month or something, just rotating teams. We’ll call it the Serial Bowl. [STAR TAGS: Faye Taylor, 247AdultStars.com]

Supposing you just want to experience our lovely Tenaya providing her own amount of Pink Comfort today, you’ll be quite happy with the exclusive photo set she’s provided today. If, on the other hand, you enjoy a little erudite contemplation with your less cerebral pursuits, you might find today’s editorial worthwhile as well. Considering that you all might be watching the NFL today anyway, just take solace in the fact that this will all be here tomorrow. [FEATURED TAGS: Tenaya]

The cover of Cosmopolitan this month lists an article titled, “His #1 Sex Secret” in big bold red letters at the top. Clearly they forgot to include the necessary tag line which should obviously read, “Does Not Involve You.” That said, we males should probably be thankful for that oversight, and with today being the official day for giving thanks, it seems appropriate to mention it here. We touch on some more reasons inside … which also seemed appropriate.

Cold weather brings thoughts of bitter cold, too many clothes, travel woes, and general mushiness in many aspects of life, right? Well, in Southern California we do what we can to empathize with the rest of the country, but we generally only get as far as Aurora Snow before we forget to be kind and start thinking how we really don’t miss this time of year back in our home towns. Unless you’ve spent some time here, you probably don’t know it, but despite the vast number of people in Los Angeles, no one really seems to be “from” here. A dandy collection has migrated in, however, so we’re all planning on getting together to feel bad for those of you whose “drift” still means a bunch of frozen water, and not a clever idea. We’re planning on doing this at the beach, though, so odds are good you’re on your own this winter too. Sorry about that (theoretically).

So D.Minion walks into the office this morning and says, “I had a dream about Dinah Shore last night.” … Now the story went on from there, but you don’t really need to hear it all in order to understand that life with D.Minion defies description — almost all of the time. Stir in a Day in the Life of Devinn Lane, add a bit of Juli, Wendy, and Tiffany seasoning, and you might be satiated enough to even forget the weirdness. If not, D.Minion recommends Krispy Kremes.

One of the basic tenets around here for the last ten years has been that we should always show the adult industry in its actual light, however dim that may be. After all, only network television routinely scripts “reality” shows, and having a bunch of isolated writers, some making tens of thousands of dollars per episode, set about determining how things “should” be to “look” real has always seemed, well, silly to us. (Yeah, yeah … So maybe TV in general elevated ludicrous to an art form, but that’s another discussion for a different day.) For now, we’re bringing in another of Maverick’s “Cam Shows” — which essentially involve simply putting a video camera on a tripod and pointing it at the beautiful women currently teasing Mav’s still camera. Even though it wouldn’t qualify as a dazzling new incarnation of applied technology, when Cate Harrington provides the talent pool, you don’t really need to over pay people completely inexperienced with the premise to tell us all how it should play out. When you look like Cate, you can pretty much play it any way you want. Some things in life do in fact make sense. [FEATURED TAGS: AdultStars247.com, Cate Harrington Video, Exclusive Video]

Friday the Thirteenth supposedly brings an ominous ambience. We fear. We fret. Or perhaps we happily embrace a “reason” to just stay home and look at porn — whatever works. In our case the day has for some reason always been a rather refreshing one, perhaps in part to the leader named “Lucky” we conjecture. On this particular day, however, we attribute our good feelings to a decision to once again let Kylie Ireland be in charge, and let D.Minion document the event. Long days spent working seem ever-so-much more pleasant in retrospect. Have you noticed? [FEATURED TAGS: Dana Vespoli, Chayse Evans, Charlotte Vale, Kylie Ireland]

When Steve (or “Just Steve” to you older members) visits the risqué LA offices from the wilds of Colorado, people begin to reminisce. Much to Lon’s dismay, Steve happens to have been the very first member of the Risqué Commune Sites, before at some point we realized that we needed more help around here and enlisted his assistance. … More to point for today would be the conversation that began about Kristal Summers and her early days, and even more pertinent would be the actual visual evidence we have of that first memorable trip with the crew. Now Steve will eventually be heading back to work out of South Park, Colorado (Yes, there really is a place called that.), and all we’ve been able to advise him so far is to stay away from the little fat kid, because he’s always trouble, and never, ever stand too close to anyone named Kenny. … If you have any better advice, Steve would probably like to hear it.

Steve here (AKA SteveD, Just Steve, for today known as “Mav’s Not Here So Let’s Give That Guy All The Work” ), on location from Risqué central. While bemoaning the Broncos first loss of the season, the topic of Julia Ann came up. I don’t remember exactly how, but if you’ve spent any time with us, you know the topic can quickly shift from just about anything to a beautiful woman — and then to that same woman naked. At some point I asked if anyone knew how many tattoos Julia has, which was a trivia question at one of the member’s parties. I didn’t know the answer then, and I still don’t today, but if anyone has a guess, I’d be willing to personally check with Ms. Ann to see if you’re right. … We had to cut Just Steve off here, explaining how we really try diligently not to ramble, at least in the introductory section of a story. Understanding that, you might feel free to jump over all the whereas and whys contained in today’s presentation and just get right to that beautiful naked women part. We call it Sybian Symbiosis, and that should explain enough all by itself. [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton, Julia Ann, Becca]

Two common, albeit amazingly distinct, definitions come to mind when thinking of “The Golden Rule” , neither of which seem to steadily rule the roost when it comes to adult movies, at least in a microeconomic sense. Although certainly the women in the business appreciate a hearty being done unto, they pretty much make the rules even if they haven’t socked away a whole bunch of gold yet. Maybe it’s always men that make up these sayings, you think? [FEATURED TAGS: Julia Ann Video]

Maverick has won the intra-office race to post the debut report on Erotica LA this year, or at least the opening volley. Our posting queue still seems to be surviving in a bit of a content food processor, though, so as a favor to some of the people working diligently on this side of “the pond” we have created a special page with a not-so-subtle hint as to what’s in store for mid-summer meditation around here. As for Mav, there seems to be a rather prominent theme surrounding British Baked Beans amidst the bevy of porn performers, probably proving once and for all that we’re potentially a bad influence.

Part of the interest in the adult entertainment world comes from the way that even though it can get a bit plodding, just like any job, every once in awhile things just come up in this world, and you have to make adjustments to your original plan. Even forgetting that whole “Man plans. God laughs.” philosophy for the moment, sometimes you really do get a chance to do something just a little different, and so you put whatever plan you used to have on hold for a minute. When such diversions involve Tori Welles, Ginger Lynn, and Christy Canyon, well, that brings up a whole other range of unique aspects to the XXX life. For centuries the prevailing intellectual theory seems to have been that history repeats itself, what with there being “no new things under the sun … yada, yada, yada” — although we will admit that intellectual theory sometimes resembles a lot more the latter than the former. That said, retrospect can provide both joy and education. Handy, that. [FEATURED TAGS: Tori Welles, Ginger Lynn, Christy Canyon, Exclusive Video, Risque News Insight]

How long has it been since we’ve had a leader that seems to have some actual grasp of real world knowledge? Now we’d be among the (potentially few) that would say that any successful politician must possess a level of intelligence, but we feel obligated to point out that a substantial chasm separates “smart” from “quick” on the mental scale. Those of you that were able to see President Obama’s press conference today got a chance to see one individual with both cerebral characteristics, and gosh but that’s fun. … Fortunately for all of you, we’ll leave the analysis to the plethora of newscasters that assume we all need the guidance and open instead our coverage of the just completed Erotica Los Angeles convention with our traditional “Two Days in Two Minutes” video presentation, along with a very few editorial ruminations. … All in all, even really, really smart people sometimes aren’t as interesting as a vast collection of scantily-clad women. Go figure. [FEATURED TAGS: Erotica LA, Exclusive Video, Maverick]

Dallying among the allegedly demimonde, we were, and having a darned good time of it, actually. While we’re busy collecting our various thoughts and illustrations on last weekend’s porn convention, we thought we’d take the opportunity to get one step closer on Dee’s KSEX anthology. It may seem that we approach certain topics with a bit of a plodding nature at times, but can assure you that should you ever need to plod in your life, doing so with naked pictures of Dee can really help make the enterprise more enjoyable.

Depending on what day you happen to be reading this, you may feel as though you’re in a bit of a time warp. As you’ve learned if you’ve been around a couple of weeks here, we’re all off in Los Angeles commingling with various porn performers at Erotica LA right now. However, since our historic attempts at setting updates to “automatically” create themselves have generally sucked, we just decided to go ahead and put your weekend entertainment online before we actually left. … So if it happens to be before the thirteenth of the month when you’re reading this, you’re not crazy. … Sadly, we can’t exactly claim the same mental status for D.Minion as we’ve had to actually split up one day on set with Night Moods into multiple entries, just to give people a reasonable chance to work through it all. Sanity, it seems, remains relative. Welcome to our world. [FEATURED TAGS: Night Moods Productions, Kylie Ireland Video, Capri Anderson, Dana Vespoli, Exclusive Video, D.Minion]

Before Maverick set out for his next bit of travel to sunny Southern California he felt it important to polish a bit of 247AdultStars so that it would gleam in his absence as well. He decided that adding a “Dirty Bedroom Solo” of Cate Harrington would be quite the appropriate way to decorate this time around, and having seen the video clips, we really would find it difficult to disagree. In a manner of attempting a truly symbiotic assessment here, odds are pretty good that this particular polish may have several people polishing various body parts of a decidedly more personal interest. It beats the heck out of a great many alternatives, though, right? [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars, Cate Harrington Video, Exclusive Video]

Lon finishes up today with a wall of undulating vaginas. Now the reality of the situation probably didn’t turn out exactly as it sounds, but the description will make Lon happy, and isn’t that the point of life, really? Technically he’s finishing up his Adult Entertainment Expo story before he gets to Los Angeles to begin his Erotica Los Angeles story, but thinking of undulating vaginas simply sounds a lot more interesting. We plan on directing Lon to ask each star he meets at the LA convention about the state of undulation in their respective vaginas, come to think of it. We’ll let you know if anybody slaps him. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Exclusive Audio, Exclusive Video, Lon]

Somebody asked an interesting question yesterday, and we thought you might be able to help us with the answer. When Sting retires, will he become Stung? … Now Lon does not address this issue in his Part One coverage of the AEE this year, but seeing as how we’re all getting ready to head out to the next convention, we figured we should at least try to wrap up the last convention before we get hopelessly behind. We wouldn’t want these convention stories to pile up like we’ve got Dee at KSEX stories, after all. Of course no sane person could consider Dee’s behind “hopeless” by any means, but you get the picture(s) — and some fun ones here today too.
