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.

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] |

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 ….

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.

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.

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.

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 ….

1/31/05 | We don’t know quite how to describe Mav’s MEGA Report on Internext, the AEE, and the AVN Awards show except to say it’s BIG. It’s really, really BIG. There are well over 300 pictures and 7,000 words. Heck, we had to build the mother of all index pages, just to try to help people figure out where they are in the story when they come back to it. Let’s put it this way, from within the story and picture pages there are FORTY THREE individual links back to the index page. You’re going to need a lot of beer for this one, folks. Lots of pretty girls, though, and Lon becomes a Hip Hop artist. I guess if you’re really interested there are a lot of pictures of Juli Ashton, Kristal Summers, Paola Ray and Dee, and quite a few of Inari Vachs and Alicia Rhodes, surprisingly. Even more surprising are the pictures of Chasey Lain and the fact that Maverick was able to tell us every minute detail of his trip, except where he got the DVD that Christy Canyon asked him about. Life is weird … [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, AVN Awards, Juli Ashton, Dee, Kristal Summers, Julia Ann, Inari Vachs, Kylie Ireland, Tiffany Granath, Jenna Jameson, Georgia Adair, Chasey Lain, Justine Joli, Alicia Rhodes, Paola Rey, Tera Patrick, Mary Carey, Christy Canyon, Exclusive Video, Maverick] |
1/27/05 | Our own intimate version of “The Hall of Fame” shows up today, with a fascinating story of a guy that actually succeeded in our business … with his clothes ON. Weird. More traditional are the shots of Julia Ann, Devinn Lane, Inari Vachs, and even a little Kristal Summers and Asia Carrera. Interesting what Risqué Women can do sometimes, isn’t it? [FEATURED TAGS: Julia Ann, Devinn Lane, Inari Vachs] |
1/24/05 | Hey, we’re back on the set of Night Callswith D.Minion and (Juli Ashton and Tiffany Granath, of course). As it turns out, The New Executives at Playboy TV decided that they should wait from August 25, 2005 until October 29, 2005 between episodes, and then wait another two months until December 31st for the next one. Allegedly there’s going to be another episode this Friday, so we’ll check with Juli for you. Basically today we’re just pointing out the apparent stupidity of Playboy TV executives sometimes. Fortunately, they give us lots of ammunition. [FEATURED TAGS: Night Calls, Juli Ashton, Tiffany Granath, Katie Morgan, D.Minion] |
1/21/05 | The quick story would be this: 1/21/05: 33 pics The longer one would involve trying to think of Stream of Conciousness writers that hailed from Great Britain, and then debating whether or not Ireland counts, and when exactly it began to … if it did, or does, or something. As you can see, this all gets pretty convoluted pretty quickly. Maybe we should just look at all the pretty girls. Oh. We should also book our trips to hang with Juli. That seems good … [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton, Devinn Lane, Nicole Sheridan, Maverick] |
1/19/05 | We’re doin’ a little Sex Magictoday, as we pop off to the set with Julia Ann. We don’t mention it enough, but we love Julia. She cares about people and animals. She kisses like dawn on the beach. She can cook wonderfully, and she looks great naked. That’s pretty much it as far as guys are concerned, right? [FEATURED TAGS: Julia Ann, D.Minion] |
1/18/05 | The beginings of the AEE report are here. Um. We’re pretty sure that’s all we want to say at this point except thanks to Lon and SteveD for their efforts. As it turns out, Lon is secretly a very successful “art” photographer, and SteveD is … (also “Um” … uh …) … [That SteveD] … He’s a really nice guy. Bumer. Sucks to be you, dude … =) [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, AVN Awards, Juli Ashton, Kristal Summers, Dee, Inari Vachs, Chasey Lain, Tiffany Granath, Katie Morgan, Sunset Thomas, Alicia Rhodes, Brittany Andrews, Christy Canyon, Rita Faltoyano, Janine, Brittney Skye, Steve, Lon] |
1/15/05 | Not taking anything away anything from Mav’s recent contribution, we felt it time to present a set of Dee in a more “professional” setting. Dee’s a particularly apropos subject today for many reasons, not the least of which is that she’s just so darned pretty that it’s just hard not to talk about her. There are actually 100 photos today, AND an underwater view of Dee that … well … you really have to see it …. By the way, as far as we can tell, none of this has anything at all to do with “Wells Fargo Wagons,” or “Trouble,” or even “Lida Rose” … although I always liked “Lida Rose” … Good day, our someones; isn’t this almost like being in love? Oh, and by the way, if you have comments, you can now contact Maverick directly. He’d love to hear from you in his new official position of Foreign Minion … We’ll call him FM for short. (Be careful what you wish for, my friend …) [FEATURED TAGS: Dee Video, Exclusive Video] |
1/13/05 | “Seventy-Six trombones led the big parade,” as I understand it. So that means that today’s post is better than a big parade, as it has 77 more pictures of the 2004 KSEX Awards show, this time taken by Foreign Correspondent Maverick. Now we need to explain three things. 1. We’re making no attempt to draw any correlation between trombones and photographs of partying porn stars, rather leaving to future generations of literary students an attempt to try to decipher what deep and tortured reasonings led us to this strange juxtaposition. 2. A simple fact of corporate America rejoices in giving someone a grand-sounding title like “Foreign Correspondent” rather than actual money, and 3. No. We do not think it at all strange that a straight man might know a few show tunes. I can also cook, but I can’t sew … so there. Ready to move on now?

1/8/05 | If you’re reading this, well then Praise the Digital Dieties. That means you’re looking at the new server like you’re supposed to be. By the way, really, really smart people wouldn’t have chosen the end of the year … over the holidays … right before the largest annual industry convention in Las Vegas … at the same time as moving a home and office … as the perfect time to change hosting and billing companies for the two biggest sites we operate. Nope. That’s certainly not what a really, really smart person would have done. That’s just what we did. On the upside we still have many good contacts with some exceptionally beautiful women, like … let’s see … this is Kristal Summers, Becca, Dee, Inari Vachs, Cheyenne Silver, Juli Ashton, and Wendy Divine. It might be easier to just look inside the members’ area, rather than just believe us. The pictures get bigger in there. Actually a lot of things get bigger around these women. Go figure.
