1/31/09 | So Day One with DM concludes today as we "coitus continuus and culminatus" — which probably isn’t proper Latin if you want to know the truth. (Yeah, we know: You’re shocked.) Fortunately you don’t need to be fluent in dead languages to understand the festive lesbian attitudes on this day on the sweltering set. That said, if you know obscure Ray Stevens songs, you can have a dandy time humming Along Came Jones when Georgia makes her faithfully anticipated appearance.

1/28/09 | You don’t often get a chance to look Behind-The-Scenes in our fundamentally Behind-The-Scenes approach on risque.com. We decided, though, that it would be worth the effort if we gave you such an opportunity today. Of course, a more in-depth (as it were) look at Kristal Summers as she began her learning curve on our first risqué chat sessions can pretty much justify a great deal of effort. And considering how miserable "work" happens to be for most people today, assuming they still have a place to actually go to work, spending an inordinate amount of time working with Kristal naked somehow doesn’t seem like much of a chore. [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers] |
1/25/09 | Oddly enough, we find ourselves guilty of coitus interruptus today, which doesn’t often happen considering our line of work. That said, given the fact that we left D.Minion pretty much alone for an entire week, we probably should have anticipated that her next On-The-Set piece would end up another in the list of her occasional "epic" productions. Consequently, you’re seeing a first-ever, "Day 1A" version of another Lesson in the Life of D.Minion. … Of course we could be wrong about that "first-ever" part, as we’ve been doing this so long that we occasionally forget when we’ve done something before. Actually, come to think of it, one of the oddest things about us might be that we regularly forget how odd we are.

1/23/09 | Because we have a half-dozen stories about the AEE in the queue, Maverick felt it appropriate to submit a story about Erotica 2008 in London. Seriously, most of us here hold the opinion that all that rain over there seeps into the brain after enough exposure. On the other hand, Maverick could just be bragging that performers in London can be topless at their conventions, which we’ll grudgingly admit does give England one up on us in this specific instance. We’re still winning, though. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars.com] |
1/20/09 | So almost all of us, on this inauguration day, are doing our darndest to honestly believe, "Yes. We. Can." … And, of course, St. Louis Rams fans are trying to come to grips with the fact that the quarterback they dumped for being too old has taken a different team to the Super Bowl this year. Thus we felt obligated to at least mention recent NFL news, and then completely ignore political current events. (Because that’s how we are.) We do have some atypical views of the recent AEE show decorations, and some perhaps not atypical exactly, but certainly entertaining, adult video activity. While the rest of you are enjoying these options, we will offer a bit of solace to the Rams fans out there: Come next April, you’ll get a lot better draft choice than those poor folks employing Mr. Warner. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo] |
1/17/09 | Channeling Sylvester the Cat and Daffy Duck seems a bit odd, even for us, but somehow that accurately describes how we begin today. On the upside, although providing a potentially animated introduction to the Adult Entertainment Expo, circa 2009, we do get back in touch with real women fairly quickly. And if you think about it, that’s pretty much the point of life, isn’t it, even if you do happen to be a bit Looney Tunes? [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Shayla LaVeaux] |
1/12/09 | As many of you probably know already, D.Minion chose to lie around eating bon-bons while watching old Beverly Hillbillies episodes while the rest of us headed off to Las Vegas for days and days of grueling exchanges with scantily-clad porn stars. (Alright, that’s not really the reason DM didn’t go with us this year, but it made for a dandy visual, didn’t it?) … Well, we happened to run in to our old friend Vicca in a casino while we were there, and it seemed a fine opportunity to call up Ms. Minion and say something subtle like, "Hey, do you think you might be able to pull some archived Vicca content we haven’t used while you’re busy letting your nails dry?" (Alright (again), while we did actually say that, we remain too stunned by DM’s response to repeat it here.) … D.Minion did uncover some wonderful new photo sets for everyone though, and, just for the record, we’re pretty sure some of those suggestions she had do in fact constitute biological impossibilities, no matter how colorful the descriptions. By the way, we did ask Vicca if she wanted to go to the convention and attend the AVN Awards show with us for old times’ sake. She said, "Um. No, thank you." And then she laughed for altogether too long a period of time it seemed to us. … At least it sounds much nicer being turned down with a Russian accent. We miss Vicca, even if she can be mean … . [FEATURED TAGS: Vicca] |
1/7/09 | Well it’s been rather hectic getting ready for this year’s convention, since D.Minion won’t be able to attend this time around. Turns out she does a lot of work at these gatherings, which means Maverick, and Lon, and SteveD have a lot of slack to pick up. Anxious to assume their new roles, Mav and Lon are already in Las Vegas, but Mav took time to show off his interview techniques via a topless trip with Kristal Summers. We were going to point out the irony of using D.Minion’s interview as Mav sets out to show his own skills in the area, but as far as we can tell, irony gets wasted on the Brits. We’ll be back first of the week with … well, something probably. Take care until then. Here goes nothing … [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers, 247AdultStars.com] |
1/1/09 | Happy New Year! … At least the prevailing theory seems to be that we should all feel more positively about things now — because it’s one day later. … Have you been watching the national news lately? The first story always focuses on the truly sucky nature of the economy, and the second launches into desperate pleas for banks to start lending and consumers to start spending again. It seems like they’re trying to scare us into not being frightened. Right? Now being much wiser than this, Maverick has chosen to demonstrate his "Best" version of the immediate future, this being in the fetching form of his own Suzie Best. Maybe they have learned a few things in England over the centuries. [FEATURED TAGS: Suzie Best, 247AdultStars.com] |

January 2008 Risque | What’s New

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff
1/31/08 | Somehow we got all serious today, at least for a good part of D.Minion’s industry report. Still a great deal more than "fun and games" goes along with being in the XXX Industry (and a good many fewer orgies than people think if you want to know the truth). It doesn’t hurt any of us to at least consider some of the Bigger Pictures every once in awhile – particularly when you can just click the little camera icon at the top of the page and skip to the "smaller" pictures – happily involving gratuitous nudity. We have a t-shirt pinned to the bulletin board in the office that says, "Everyone should believe in something. I believe I’ll have another beer." … Insightful perhaps. [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, Alana Evans, D.Minion] |
1/27/08 | We said all of that last post so we can tell you all of this today. Per a significant number of (at least potentially misguided) requests, we’re trying a brand new approach to Dee-Land this time around. We’ll let you know if it works and people are happy, obviously. And if you think about it, if you have Dee as Preface, Content, and Conclusion, how bad can it be really? [FEATURED TAGS: Dee Cam Show, Exclusive Video] |
1/25/08 | Apparently we’ve been slacking off on bringing Dee’s KSEX Index up to date with all of the missing days from her tenure there. And apparently some people have noticed, because we’re getting emails about this oversight. … Well, coincidentally we were working on a rather large NEW approach to Dee’s Diary and decided to fill in for a brief bit here with some of those requested posts. For what it’s worth, we’ve long been of the opinion that there’s no such thing as too much Dee – particularly if Dee happens to be naked. She’s wonderful otherwise too, but naked saves on laundry. And we care about the environment — particularly around the office. [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, D.Minion] |
1/23/08 | We suppose we had to start somewhere in our daunting task of covering this year’s Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas. Consequently a "Best of" stills collection from Maverick, along with his "Convention Floor" video contribution seemed a nice, gentle way to begin. He’s also provided some of the "autographs" that he collected, which presumably (and hopefully) he’ll explain a bit more when he launches the 247AdultStars.com site within the risqué family. Last we heard he was "working frantically" on that task, but one can never really be sure what "frantic" means in the UK we’ve learned over the years. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Exclusive Video, Maverick] |
1/20/08 | Upon the internal review of today’s contribution we actually had an unusual bit of disagreement among a couple of the troops. D.Minion wanted an explanation "elaboration" while Maverick held firm in the opinion that, "Hey. It’s just another story in the life of risqué." … As for what we all eventually decided, well, we can’t really get into that here. There are a couple of football games going on today, and we plan on grilling out and thanking our stars that we live in Southern California and not in either Boston or Green Bay. Brrrr. [FEATURED TAGS: Sasha Grey] |
1/16/08 | Well we survived again and we’re all back and kicking. OK. So most of us are not kicking like the Rockettes exactly, more like Charlie Brown if you want to know the truth. Still, we managed yet another round of kissing, hugging, over-eating, and laughing amidst enough exposed flesh to cause sensory overload – even without the whole "being in Las Vegas" part. As is our custom – and since we’re very old it’s perfectly acceptable to have a "custom" by the way – we’re not going to simply bury you with everything at once. Over some time you’ll get a true feeling of at least our perspective on The State of The Industry, but we need to start somewhere …. So we decided to start later and today show you a truly ambitious scene from Couch Tomato Isabella instead. Hey, the last thing you want to do after taking 10,000 photos and 100 hours of video footage is actually look at it. [FEATURED TAGS: Isabella Video, Exclusive Video, Maverick] |
1/8/08 | As a technical matter we’re putting up tomorrow’s post today, since tomorrow we leave for Las Vegas for a week to attend the Adult Entertainment Expo (and the Consumer Electronics Show). Of course, when we actually leave it will be today, even though this will have gone up yesterday. Still, it’s a lot better than putting up today for day before yesterday, or even last week, as sometimes happens depending upon the goings on around these parts. If you think about it, why would we put off until tomorrow what we can do today anyway? And yesterday all our troubles seemed so far away – at least the way we remember it from years ago. … Oh, it’s Day Two on the set of Sophia with D.Minion’s usual bizarre observations and many, many pictures, by the way. But that seems sort of beside the point now, considering all of this. … Maybe it’s best if we stop thinking now. [FEATURED TAGS: Sophia Lynn, Renna Ryann, Moxxie Maddron, Sabrina Rose, D.Minion] |
1/5/08 | Well, we have to confess that somehow D.Minion snuck in some more pictures of ladders, in additon to a shot she swears is snow falling in Las Vegas. (You can decide on that one.) But she also managed to shoot over 200 pictures of scantily-clad women as she finished up AEE 2007 for your scientific analysis. Of course she also captured Kristal Summers in basically no clothing for an impromptu hotel room dalliance, so that’s always good. Basically, it’s always good to see how people change (or don’t) after a mere year in the business. We’ve always said that it’s an odd planet that we live on, this one called the XXX Business in Los Angeles.

1/1/08 | It’s a rebirth! It’s a revision! It’s a revolutionary enterprise! … Or else it’s a moderately interesting new approach. … We always get those confused. We do know it’s a New Year, and we’re going forward with our usual philosophy: How bad can it be? [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Exclusive Video, D.Minion] |
January 2007 Risque | What’s New
… With appropriate credit to Garth:
Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff
1/31/07 | Haiku, you may see with a gasp, Hey, iambic pentameter was too tough for us too, but the barrage of Member Submissions on the convention has commenced – weirdly, via SteveD. That seemed appropriate somehow. Did you know it’s really hard to fit the phrase “iambic pentameter” into iambic pentameter without using those pesky triplet things? Gosh, the stuff you learn on a porn site …. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Kristal Summers, Dee, Julia Ann, Faith Leon, Monique Alexander, Jessica Drake, Heather Vuur, Heather Vandeven, Exclusive Video, Steve] |
1/24/07 | Here’s a shirt you can’t wear just everywhere: “ASS. The New Vagina.” … This and other observations come through today in the first “Dear Readers Speak” in a couple of years it seems like. Sometimes the uninitiated are so darned cute. And sometimes they’re a bit painful in their honesty. It’s interesting how “regular” people look at an event like the AVN Awards Show, and it’s equally interesting (although certainly quite a bit more odd) how many pictures our own “three amigos” seemed to take of each other. Fortunately they at least had the courtesy to include various fetching women in the photographs too. In the midst of “plowing through” we seem to have wandered down a diversion. We love that. [FEATURED TAGS: AVN Awards, Adult Entertainment Expo, Kristal Summers, Heather Vuur, Heather Vandeven, Belladonna, Mika Tan, Kylie Ireland, Julia Ann] |
1/20/07 | We’re taking baby steps here, not so much because of the Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss movie but because that seemed like a reasonable way to start our assault on the current queue. Consequently we decided to open with a nice little D.Minion story about getting ready for the AVN Awards show this year … with Heather Vuur, Audrey Hollander, Faith Leon, Monica Mayhem, Ruby Flame, Lorraine Sisco, and of course Dee and Kristal. There were some boys there too, but who really notices them with this cast of females? We did read a wonderfully pithy quote in a Lawrence Block book that would fit right in here. Speaking of a particularly attractive female character Mr. Block described her as sending off “a subliminal message that said, Sleep with me and you will die. But it will be worth it.” If you haven’t read the Bernie Rhodenbarr “Burglar” series by Lawrence Block, by the way, you’re missing out on some very funny and entertaining times. While you’re checking Amazon, though, you might look at these pictures and Mav’s video. That’s a fine way to spend some time too.

1/15/07 | Hey, we lived through it! (Of course “lived” would be a relative term here.) You know what’s a really bad idea? Reading a Steven King (technically Richard Bachman, though) book about a grueling and ultimately fatal competition whose only characteristic happens to be that it involves lots and lots of walking, precisely while you’re attending a convention that also necessarily involves lots and lots of walking. This is a bad idea. While we’re valiantly trying to make some semblance of order of the 2,000+ pictures, a couple hours of video, multiple audio files, and more autographs then we’ve even begun to count, we thought we’d share a little joy that can come from a virus. Hey, weirdness begets weirdness, and if the Risqué site doesn’t prove that theory for you, then you haven’t really been paying attention. On the upside, we’ve recently had many opportunities to use an almost forgotten phrase, “My dogs are barkin’ now.” And if you know what that means, while you may not be a Redneck yourself, you certainly know at least one. [FEATURED TAGS: Keana Moire’, Twigy, Zoe, Nella Norrington, Exclusive Video] |
1/8/07 | You knew, of course, that we would not be allowed to leave the LA area and head for Las Vegas before we had accomplished DM’s task of adding the Essentially Juli AND Shayla Double-DVD to the catalogue, right? Well, we did that, and then we set up some things to keep you occupied for the next week as we converge (from many points of the world, truth be told) on the annual Adult Entertainment Expo for the next week. Consider it a bonus for today, and then consider coming with us next year. You really haven’t lived until you’ve seen some drunk and crying XXX performer, devastated because she didn’t win the “Best Anal Sex Scene” Award. What a surreal world in which we exist. [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux Video, Keri Windsor Video, Juli Ashton, Anais, Dee, Kristal Summers, Exclusive Video] |
1/6/07 | Guess what follows “Day One” of something, and even sometimes only a few days later. Correct. … “Day Two” …. So we really needn’t even give you much of a build up here, because certainly you’ve already committed Day One on the Set (of Facade) with D.Minion to memory and all that has been keeping you from sleeping is wondering what in the world happened on the dialogue day of the movie. Well, you can in fact read about that today, but you’ll have to wade through all the sex scenes with Mika Tan, Daisy Marie, and Alexis Love in order to find this crucial information. It’s a good thing you’re committed to your education; we respect that. [FEATURED TAGS: Mika Tan, Daisy Marie, Alexis Love, Michael Ninn, D.Minion, Risque News Insight] |
1/3/07 | We learned a fun fact about the entertainment industry today. The cost of shooting ONE episode of the formerly famous TV show, Maimi Vice, actually cost more money than the budget for the entire YEAR of Miami’s actual Vice Squad. Hmm. … Well, nobody said that the entertainment industry makes sense, and so we quickly gloss over our bit of insight into that and look at some pictures of beautiful Dee, gracing the shores of Jamaica. We figure that’s understandable entertainment for pretty much any industry. [FEATURED TAGS: Dee] |
1/1/07 | It occurred to us that peering into a Facade might be a dandy way to start the New Year, considering the business we’re in and all. We didn’t really give that enough thought considering all the football on TV today though, as even just Day One on the Set with D.Minion turned out to be one of those “thousands of words and 225 pictures” sort of DM days. Ah, well we technically made it as a New Year’s Day post anyway, assuming you happen to live in the Pacific Time Zone at least. Some times you just need to channel some old country songs as you go through life. Those of you that remember Bobby Bare will understand this: “[We] got ‘er, boy, and that’s what makes [us] THE WINNER.” Whew ….
