5/28/12 | If someone gives you an extra-special, handy-dandy, super-secret coupon, it’s pretty easy to just throw it away. However, if someone gives you this coupon along with a whole bunch of other fascinating memories, well, then, you can spend an hour or two being entertained — before you throw the coupon away. Still, we’re covering Members and Memories today, and that seems apropos for Memorial Day. (You will need to supply your own beverage and BBQ. Sorry about that.) [FEATURED TAGS: Heather Vuur Exclusive Video, Heather Vandeven Exclusive Video, Jassie Exclusive Video, Monica Mayhem Exclusive Video, Eddie Van Halen, Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn] |
5/26/12 | Looks count apparently. Consequently a couple of talented folks spent some time on presentation this time around, although honestly the fact that you’re presenting Kristal Summers, Julia Ann, and Steve (before he left too early) doesn’t hurt one’s dedication to the effort. Sadly limited to only a “Virtual Dee” this time around, D.Minion nonetheless managed to work in yet another reference to donuts with sprinkles. Maybe it comes from hanging out with all those sweet women … maybe. [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, Julia Ann, Nina Hartley, Kristal Summers, Shayla LaVeaux Video, Michael Ninn] |
5/23/12 | Regardless of one’s level of education, we all seem to be susceptible to the devilish “grass is greener” trap. Even if we happen to be exceptionally talented in one area, we all display an apparently human desire to do something else. Well, just so you know, that doesn’t always work out exactly as we anticipated. It does not diminish the “fun to try” factor any, though, and so around risqué we tend to let people play a bit when they feel the urge. Honestly, this should be the last place anyone ever discourages urges, right? … By the way, do you think rock stars sit around lamenting, “Dang, but I surely do wish I could do web code!” before they go to bed every night? [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea Exclusive Video, Kaz B., 247AdultStars.com] |
5/18/12 | Today happens to be all about Shayla LaVeaux, which honestly would make any day a darned special occasion. Everyone loves Shayla, to tell you the truth, mostly because she’s kind, considerate of the feelings of others, and even after all these years in the industry still goes out and puts “fun” first in everything she does. Of course the fact that she’s sexy as all get out doesn’t hurt anything either. Life being what it is, though, somehow all of us people that love Shayla don’t get treated exactly the same way as some of the people that Shayla loves back. Presumably that has something to do with the whole sexy as all get out thing. … That bites. [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux, Alexandra Silk, Carmen Luvana] |
5/14/12 | Having gotten quite confused over the weekend with what we had as a plan to introduce Cytherea’s site wishes, we came into work this morning to the greetings of all those annoying “stickler for a schedule” types pointing out that we sort of forgot to put up what we were supposed to. Fortunately, a healthy dose of humor goes a long way in these parts, so we managed to sneak by with our illustration from yesterday, if we promised to put up the “other” Cytherea post today. More Cytherea? … No one can see a down side in that. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea] |
5/13/12 | We celebrate “Mom” today, even as the rest of the country does the same thing. Granted, as a general rule we probably celebrate the process in which women become moms a bit more than does the average person, but as difficult as it may be to believe for the politically conservative out there, we have mothers too. We also have fathers. … And pretty much after that everything is different. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea Exclusive Video] |
5/10/12 | Today we’re doing something a little different, which considering our usual method of operation probably provides no practical clues as to our intent at all. Even we couldn’t remember the last time we did something “normal” when we tried to think about it. That said, we have never used this particular approach before. You see, our leader actually wrote an article for the FREE SIDE of risqué, and then we adapted that document to the MEMBERS’ SIDE of our world. Members may not even realize it, because why would you ever go back to the Free Side, after all, but we (sporadically) run “web safe” stories out there with the hopes of finding new folks that might enjoy our approach in here. Of course they are rarely truly “topical” — often running years after they appeared in the Members’ Area — but we spend the vast majority of our time taking care of Members, so this approach has always seemed logical to us. This time, we got instructions to flip that approach completely around. We have no idea why, but however odd we may be, we also have a decidedly prudent streak. We do what the boss says. [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton, Dee, Holly Hollywood Video, Michael Ninn] |
5/7/12 | We always celebrate Cinco de Mayo in this office, either because we’re extraordinarily culturally aware, or we just love dark-skinned women. That could be it too. Of course it could also be that for whatever reason we all really love very spicy Mexican food. But that could be simply because initial interviews are always done at a local “Cantina” and anybody that wimps out over the chile verde never gets hired. Our own “El Jefe” disputes that last claim, but interestingly that’s not quite the same thing as denying it. … Now this year the holiday came on a Saturday, and what with all the work we’ve been doing on the new catalogue, in a rare turn of events every one of us had the weekend off. Fortunately we suffered no digital disasters in our absence, but we did miss the celebration. Consequently we’re celebrating Siete de Mayo this year. Tequila makes one quite adaptable, after all. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea] |
5/1/12 | So if you spend a few hundred words trying to explain just how well you can be brief, well, that sort of seems to miss the point, right? If, however, a lovely lass such as Shayla LaVeaux makes the request, you certainly try your darnedest to accommodate her. We may not have done an exemplary job per se, but if you look at it honestly we nonetheless feel rather fine about the issue. How many times in life has a pretty girl reduced a group to a bunch of blithering idiots, after all?

March 2012 Risque | What’s New
… With appropriate credit to Garth:
Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff
3/30/12 | Freeways in Los Angeles can be quite entertaining places — at least if you’re the type to let traffic bother you very much. We got behind one of those tricked out SUV’s this week, the kind where the guy makes up for what he lacks in testicles with the tire size on his truck. You’ve seen them. … Well, this one had a license plate that said, “NVRGLTY” leading us to the conclusion that the owner was either a criminal defense attorney, or a six-year-old bully — not that those two psychological states differ all that much really. Still it did make us wonder about how occasionally looks can in fact be deceiving, much as the case with Nick Manning’s photography today. Of course the fact that Nick chose Dee as his subject helps a lot. People can get away with many things if they illustrate with Dee naked, after all. [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, Shayla LaVeaux Video, Jenna Haze Video, Michael Ninn] |
3/27/12 | The original plan for today centered around a wildly entertaining display of a bunch of scantily-clad women frolicking in a rain-soaked park. We planned on a vast amount of prose surrounding these compelling images, sufficient to secure our position as one of the web’s top Meandering Professionals. Sadly, we have no such pictures, so our wonderfully clever title of “Hello mudder. Hello Fodder.” will thus go unused. We do have a fascinating discussion of Shayla’s views on winning awards in porn, however, and have potentially found some equally interesting — although freshly showered — illustrations. [FEATURED TAGS: Bobbi Star Video, Jenna Haze Video] |
3/24/12 | Of “Cats, Tats, & Fantasy Begats” tells the tale this time around, although we do attempt to clarify that theme just a bit. Now if you have been a member for much time at all, you might be more than a bit dubious regarding our clarification skills, a stance really that we’d have a hard time arguing with, sadly enough. We do have fun, though, and how many people can say that about their lives every day? [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux, Alexandra Silk, Carmen Luvana] |
3/20/12 | What we lack in eloquence we more than make up for with verve. Should you choose to read the technical trifle over on CythereasWetWorld today, you will understand precisely what we mean by that too. You may not agree with the statement, but you will at least understand it. … Feel free to disagree with us, actually. People often do. … Silly, people. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea Exclusive Video] |
3/17/12 | Top o’ the mornin’ to ya. … Pip. Pip. … Cheerio. … Well, that’s a sticky wicket, wat? … To we self-absorbed Americans, most foreign expressions said with an accent that sound kinda-sorta like the Beatles must mean it’s British. Of course most Americans would probably have a hard time pointing out Ireland on the globe, but hopefully they could at least get Australia right — even if they do think Crocodile Dundee sounds like he’s from London. Fortunately on this lovely holiday, we ignore all the foolish American tendencies and leap right into the leprechaun spirit with our annual mammalian — so to speak — salute: “Erin Go Braless!” … In case you’re curious, this has less to do with having hair on our bodies or being born alive than it does that whole breast feeding thing. We never quite grow out of that fascination, you know. [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton] |
3/15/12 | Continuing to let the Fates guide our digital meandering, we somehow find ourselves adapting the theories of Albert Einstein today. OK. So they’re not any of the scientific theories, because honestly those seem really, really hard, but we figure we can debate philosophy with anyone — particularly if they’re dead. Michael Ninn happens to be alive and celebrating another birthday today, so rather than cerebral rumination with him, rather we have decided to consider the metaphysical ramifications of Jenna Haze. All in all, this did not turn out to be a tough decision. [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux Video, Jenna Haze Video, Michael Ninn] |
3/13/12 | The power of words tends to hold a rarified significance around here, as any Member could tell you certainly. As Maverick takes 247AdultStars further into the modern world with his porn star interview system, we take the opportunity to consider old-fashioned newspaper publication versus the contemporary digital approach. Bottom line: You have to be more careful if your company uses actual ink to deliver its message. To quote Ann Landers, “The trouble with talking too fast is you may say something you haven’t thought of yet.” … And we’d venture to say that not many adult web sites quote Ann Landers, actually. … Yet that remains only a small part of what makes us odd. [FEATURED TAGS: Kelly Hart, 247AdultStars] |
3/9/12 | Did you know that “laser” actually happens to be an acronym for “light amplification by simulated emission of radiation”? Well, if you had read the excellent biography on Einstein by Walter Isaacson you could have learned this. Of course, having said that, you could now also learn this same thing here at risque.com — and have the benefit of enjoying the lives of beautiful women that make their livings au naturel. For example, now you can learn about how a self-proclaimed “cheesehead” approaches a Feature Dance booking with Shayla LaVeaux. … Sorry, Walter: You just can’t compete with Shayla naked. We love your books, though, if that helps. [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux] |
3/5/12 | Invoking the Deities today we further contribute to the science of modern friendship by visualizing a new method of keeping one’s furniture clean. OK. So technically we’re just sending Maverick best wishes on his next shoot and watching Cytherea on the next kitchen table in her squirting quest, but grandiose explanations tend to abound here, truth be told. On our way to a shoot last week we ended up behind a car with a bumper sticker that read, “Slay the Dragon of Ignorance.” A voice from the back seat quipped, “Well, we would, but we don’t know where it is.” … And that pretty much sums up the“aRB” view of life certainly. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea Video, Tiana Lynn Video, Natalia Forrest, 247AdultStars.com] |
3/2/12 | Consider Kristal Summers Consciously Artified if you will. And if you have been around here much at all, you will know that we have as a rule no problem at all simply making up words to suit our purpose. Granted, the only suits worn around here tend to be of the birthday variety, but that does not mean we lack respect for those poor lost souls who must familiarize themselves with the intricacies of the “double windsor” all too often in their everyday lives. … No-No! … Truth be told, we try not to think about those people at all. They sort of give us the willies. Interestingly enough, so does Kristal, but for an entirely different reason. [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers Video] |
February 2012 Risque | What’s New
… With appropriate credit to Garth:
Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff
1/30/12 | Years ago now, our dear friend SteveH decided to move back to his home town of Bumfuck, Missouri to chase some woman — although we cannot swear to this being the exact name of the town, honestly. Still, it did give us a chance to finally stop using “SteveD” to indicate the Other Steve in the office, as we progressed quickly through “Just Steve” to simply “Steve” when we refered to him. … And then the Original Steve decided to come out and visit us for the show this year, creating the Steve Confusion all over again. On the other hand, it did give all of us the chance to talk about “that woman” whom Original Steve eventually caught out in Missouri. Then we got to oft repeat one of our favorite adages: “Be careful what you wish for … .” What are friends for, after all? As for the New Steve, who became Just Steve after the Old, Original Steve left, well, his timing continued to be less than he might have hoped as you shall see. [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux Video] |
1/26/11 | We recently learned from The Big Bang that you call a person that studies flags a vexillologist. This of course would not be the same “Big Bang Theory” that arrived to all of us courtesy of Georges Lemaître, but all in all the television series is a whole lot funnier. We can see how Fundamentalist Christians might be offended by both, however. Of course neither of these things have anything whatsoever to do with Becca, or Kristal Summers, or Kira, or Wendy … but we did want to mention them, because honestly how often do you see an adult web site admitting they understand anything at all about Fundamentalist Christians? [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton Video, Kristal Summers Video, Wendy Divine Video, Becca Video, Cytherea, Kira Reed] |
1/16/12 | Some people would argue that a “business” should not even exist that essentially bases its success on naked people. Apparently when these folks left the Garden of Eden they quickly bid it, “Good Riddance!” and took off with a whole tree’s worth of fig leaves for themselves. Of course some people also believe that if “their team” fumbled the ball at an inopportune time over the weekend, the world might indeed end — or at least be no better than a really depressing place for a few months. … You just can’t please some people. What can you do? … Well in our case, on the eve of our annual trek to the AEE in Vegas, we decided this year to take a moment to reflect upon the upstart in the industry, this of course being XBIZ. At first glance, the new approach seems quite a bit different from the older one, but then AVN has an entirely new plan this year as well, so we will see. If nothing else, we have learned to laugh — an important lesson in life. [FEATURED TAGS: XBIZ LA Convention, Brittney Skye Video] |
1/15/12 | Unless you happen to be a fan of one of the four teams that will remain in the championship race in the NFL after today, you might find a common thought running through your brain incessantly: What to do? What to do? … Of course a very slim chance exists that you happen to be one of those people that does not follow professional football, but worry not about that: We still have that Fifth Amendment thing, and no one can make you admit that. More significant this time around would be Tenaya’s contributions to our traditionally “uncommon thoughts” on life in the XXX Business. Now “valuable” one could argue, but “uncommon” seems self-evident. Tenaya, and Shayla, and Capri? Obviously, they would all be both. [FEATURED TAGS: Tenaya, Misty Rivers, Capri Anderson Video, Shayla LaVeaux, Bianca Video, Tanya Cox Exclusive Video, 247AdultStars.com] |
1/11/12 | One of the best things about attending the annual AVN convention in Las Vegas has to be that you get a chance to see a lot of friends in the business that you may not have run across on set in a few months. Given that this year’s event has all the indications of being a massive … well, we won’t say because we happen to like the AVN people a lot — but think “massive amounts of copulation in a tightly bunched group” — we plan on having a lot to talk about with them as we all sit around waiting for the organization to catch up with us. All in all, we’re going to have a good time regardless, and honestly the regular conversations with Jenna Haze always rank highly on our good memories list. Speaking of Jenna and good memories, we have a few with D.Minion — and surprisingly few dogs, truth be told. [FEATURED TAGS: Jenna Haze Exclusive Video, Kortney Kane Exclusive Video] |
1/7/12 | Travel looms. Technically, loads and loads of travel looms. … What with XBIZ being on the schedule for the first time this year, and AVN deciding that they don’t need all those pesky CES attendees to fill up its convention halls, we will find ourselves living out of suitcases more often than not over the next couple of weeks. Naturally that got us to thinking about earlier times when this has come to pass in our world, and you know what? Come to find out, sometimes it really isn’t all that bad. Porn stars tend to be entertaining travel-mates as it turns out, even if there will likely be not near as much mating as one might hope. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea Exclusive Video, Dee, Inari Vachs, Devinn Lane] |
1/3/12 | If you rap about a wrap party, is that redundant? What if they play rap music? Worse yet, what if the party involves absolutely no nudity, even though Julia Ann and Inari Vachs are there and so you “rip” it? Well, a wrap party by definition marks the end of something, and in that case R.I.P. would be perfectly in order, right, even if you happen not to be disappointed at all? Who knew what chaos could spring from words with just three little letters? … Hey, you should see what we can do with Cytherea and some of those $10 words. We have been waiting literally years and years for the perfect opportunity to roll out supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. “Fantastic” huh? [FEATURED TAGS: Julia Ann, Inari Vachs, Cytherea] |
1/1/12 | Ringing in the New Year always brings a lot of joy around here. And doing so with Shayla LaVeaux and Kristal Summers (sadly separately this time) adds a predictable enhancement to the experience. All in all the first of the year invariably brings even more chaos to our existence than even we generally experience. That said, you really can’t complain too much if the bedlam in your life involves a plethora of naked women. If it occasionally involves beds too, well, you get the picture … [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers, Shayla LaVeaux Video] |
August 2010 Risque | What’s New
… With appropriate credit to Garth:
Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff
8/31/10 | Did you ever see The Wedding Crashers? … Well we can assure you that you’ve never seen the concept explored quite the way that Cytherea does it. Come to think of it, Cy’s little “version” might have made a wonderful addition to the actual movie, and would even have contributed some exceptional comedic tension. … Of course if they had included this Cytherea bit, the movie probably wouldn’t have played in as many theaters as it did. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea] |
8/27/10 | Let’s say you’d really enjoy a job where all you have to do all day long boils down to taking pictures of Shayla LaVeaux naked. In that case odds seem good that you’d feel like you have a pretty darned good job. It would also mean, of course, that you have D.Minion’s job, and if you’re curious – at least the way she explains it – you’ll have to pry the job out of her cold, dead, fingers. Of course that would be another issue altogether. Still it always makes us happy when we can work a Constitutional allegory into an adult web site introduction, and let’s face it, a naked Shayla LaVeaux pretty much makes everybody happy. [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux] |
8/25/10 | As much as it seems like we try to avoid current events around here, sometimes we just can’t ignore them. To wit, Lon noticed an amazingly relevant article in his local Las Vegas paper that could have deeply personal ramifications for all of us at the January convention. It brings into play the potential for pithy commentary from our British arm, via the reporting of Dear Maverick, and it may quell feelings of despair for a situation that last year we felt portended ill for our favorite bargain lodging on the Strip. … To make it a little more interesting, assuming it be possible that you’re not planning on attending AVN’s annual shin-dig, we have also popped in a few rather sultry photos of Inari Vachs in bright yellow thigh-high boots that we’ve had floating around the office for some time. That always brightens a day, and, besides, how many times do you really get to say “to wit” in life? [FEATURED TAGS: Inari Vachs] |
8/22/10 | We have formally resolved, you may be glad to hear, to keep putting the “fun” back in dysfunctional. … OK. So as a technical matter that falls more into the “analysis of our usual situation made by a visiting friend this past week” than it does the “resolution” category. Still, we can’t see anything particularly wrong with this approach to life, and we certainly can’t argue with the assessment. If nothing else, today’s editorial and accompanying view of obscure architecture illustrates our philosophy perfectly. Don’t you just love it when that happens? [FEATURED TAGS: Tenaya Video, Erica McLean Video] |
8/18/10 | You English majors out there may remember that the final line of The Great Gatsby reads, “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” Now if you’ve actually read the book you’ll probably be a little worried here, but we can assure you that D.Minion’s fond account of Vicca and Nikita happens to be a whole lot more cheery than the resolution with Jay Gatsby (or Nick Carraway, if you’re a stickler for literary details). Let’s face it: If you feel a need to look back on life, having two beautiful Russian women in it helps a whole heck of a lot. [FEATURED TAGS: Vicca, Nikita, Juli Ashton, Doria,Savannah, Gina Stasia, Diva, Alexandra Silk, Shelly Jones, Angela Ayers] |
8/13/10 | Now supposing you had a “leader” (of some sort or another) whose parents gave him the name “Lucky” at birth. You might be inclined to think that Friday the 13th could turn out to be atypically interesting days for folks that hang around with this chap, right? (Hey, after you’ve seen the name “Lucky” printed on an actual driver’s license, the whole leap into numerology and mythology really doesn’t take much. Trust us.) … At any rate, because of this special day, we decided to break our usual tradition and do back to back posts regarding the lovely Tenaya. It turns out the last entry stirred some feelings around here, and if an adult web site can’t share some stirring feelings with you, well what good are they anyway? [FEATURED TAGS: Tenaya] |
8/9/10 | Most of you know how much we love to celebrate holidays around here, so we just had to do something special this morning. … What holiday, you may wonder? … Why, naturally, it’s “eight, nine, ten” – and you don’t even have to be a history (or math) whiz to know that this just doesn’t happen very often. Odds are good we’ll be around for “nine, ten, eleven” and probably even “ten, eleven, twelve” – but after that all bets are off. If any of us are around for the next “eight, nine, ten” well, we’d better be a lot richer by then. That’s all we have to say. Well, except that we’re celebrating today with Tenaya. We should probably mention that. [FEATURED TAGS: Tenaya Video] |
8/7/10 | Kristal Summers makes a darned fine office assistant, an assessment you’ll likely agree with after today. Of course Kristal Summers makes a darned fine almost anything, so perhaps that’s not saying much. On the other hand, when you have an entire day devoted to Kristal, how much time do you really need to waste saying anything at all? [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers] |
8/3/10 | If you think of the lyrics “What EVA … Cocks Your Pistol, What EVA … Toots Your Whistle” and then you think of a clever parody of a classic Statler Brothers song, well, you’d have the same brain as exactly one person in the office here. If, however, when you think of EVA you think of “Angelina” why then you’d match everyone else. Depending upon whom you ask here, you’d either be a very savvy aficionado of adult movie fare, or woefully ignorant in your knowledge of 1970’s country music. You get to determine whether a failure in either area bothers you more as you go with D.Minion coincidentally on set with Eva Angelina. We should warn you: This will be one of those “better have a beer with you” sorts of posts. Maybe two. [FEATURED TAGS: Eva Angelina, Angela Stone, AJ Bailey, Joey Valentine, Wanda Curtis, Michael Ninn] |
