7/31/09 | Does everybody remember the story of the Syrens? Well, it seems our own Dear Maverick has sailed too close to the shore, or more accurately her shore. Come to think of it, we traditionally refer to boats in the feminine, but are shores feminine too? … Better yet, don’t think about any of that and just see why Mav loves his job as Syren Begins Her Song over on the most famous British Isle.

7/27/09 | Apparently over there in London an “ISP” doesn’t seem to involve anything that actually looks like “Service” – at least if Maverick’s experiences lately has been any indication. Consequently, the poor lad has been chomping at the bit to get 247AdultStars updated, and we’ve … well, we’ve sort of been laughing hysterically at what an actual business can get away with in the U.K. But he’s back up and running, some three weeks after “they couldn’t find a problem” (Don’t you love that?) and we have agreed to at least stop laughing at him until we see more of Syren Sexton. That’s a shiny Brit, that one. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars, Holly D. Video, Syren Sexton, Exclusive Video] |
7/24/09 | Wow. Historic moments in time can be interesting, right? Forty years ago the first man walked on the moon. Twenty years ago the Game Boy debuted. And any day now the new SEARCHABLE Index will debut on risque.com … although those might not all be of equal importance in the development of modern civilization. They might be, though. They never had Dee on the moon or in a Game Boy, though. There’s that. [FEATURED TAGS: Chasey Lain Video, Asia Carrera Video, Kelly O’Dell Video, Taylor Hayes Video] |
7/20/09 | Sometimes you simply need to do things for fun. Let’s face it: In 100 years, we’ll all be dead. Consequently, our leaders (more accurately: those that have been around here the longest) set out this past week to track down Tenaya. Hey, if you’re going to do fun things, they might as well involve a Penthouse Pet if you can work that into the equation. So as you pop on inside and see what we discovered, you can be prepared to smile with the lass once again … and you can also be glad we decided against using our first inclination of the “stop and smell the roses” approach here. Even a Penthouse Pet might have some olfactory issues with that particular metaphor, considering we found her way out in the California desert. [FEATURED TAGS: Tenaya Video, Exclusive Video, Uncle Gibby] |
7/16/09 | We’ve more on our We Love Julia Ann month today, which it occurs to us that people out here in the free section may not even know has started. Those people have a sad life, really, so we need to be kind to them. If you ever get really depressed with your own life, just look around a bit and consider what some others have to be dealing with. For example, some people live up in the “frozen tundra” like Uncle Gibby – on purpose. All in all, a regular interaction with bodacious babes seem preferable, even when you only get to visit. [FEATURED TAGS: Erotica LA, Julia Ann Video, Exclusive Video, Uncle Gibby] |
7/11/09 | One would think that writing on a day indicated by 7-11 would require at least passing consideration of “convenience” in some fashion or another. Of course we’ve pretty much ignored the 7-Eleven chain since they stopped selling magazines with naked women in them and then went and decided that they could make a better ICEE under their own brand name. Sometimes you should just let people do what they do, and concentrate instead on doing what you do, and everthing will work out just fine. How this all relates to Lon and DM’s crew tackling Erotica LA remains a conclusion we’ve left to you. That’s what we do, after all. [FEATURED TAGS: Erotica LA, Jessica Drake, Exclusive Audio, Exclusive Video, Lon, Uncle Gibby] |
7/9/09 | Dear Maverick finishes up his Slanted by (Lexi) Love review of the big Los Angeles convention this year, which turned out to have the distinct advantage of taking place a couple of weeks before Michael Jackson decided to die. Otherwise, parking down at the convention center would have been a real pain, and we’d have ended up walking as much as if Lon would have been in charge. Still it is always sad when people leave this plain, and as great a talent as Michael Jackson undoubtedly was, we still mostly feel sorry for Farrah Fawcett. She spent the bulk of her career struggling to get top billing, and the poor thing didn’t even get it when she died. God has a wicked sense of humor sometimes. Hopefully considering the recent porn outing will distract us from such sagacious musings, however. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars, Erotica LA, Lexi Love, Julia Ann, Exclusive Video] |
7/4/09 | There really generally happens to be a method to our madness, and on this festive national anniversary we thought we’d explain how Kristal Summers fits into the current agenda. We had a special request from a member recently for “more on Kristal” , and we therefore felt motivated to happily comply. Don’t you just love it when you agree to do favors for people that won’t require any actual inconveniences on your part? … You get credit for doing something that you certainly would have done anyway, and you can pretend it was all very difficult, so you can bank some favors of your own in the future. Now there’s a goal we can always strive for. … Y’all go watch some pretty explosions tonight, and then have some of your own with Kristal. … Oh, and Mav, sorry about that whole tea in the harbor thing. [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers Video, Exclusive Video, D.Minion] |
7/2/04 | Ah, the question of feminine beauty. … Don’t you just love questions that defy an actual answer while concurrently providing a wonderful enjoyment in the search for it? Much as our custom dictates, we approach the issue from yet another angle today, and as alluded to, we rest quite comfortably in our ultimate lack of a conclusion. We did come upon one corrollary that we could all agree on, and you’ll see that clearly in the thumbnail below, but that pretty much wraps up the real conclusions today. … Oh, and the estrogen-laden members of our team insisted that we point out that another question looms out there regarding the question of male beauty, to which the rest of us (quite reasonably, we thought) responded, “Yeah, so?” [FEATURED TAGS: Kenzie Ryan] |

4/30/09 | Both Tenured and Interned types assisted in today’s trials and tribulations in the Tempering of Tenaya. Watching young talent develop can of course be one of the most entertaining aspects for members here, and if you’ve seen any of our other Tenaya posts over the last couple of months, you can testify to that. This time around you’ll get to peek in on some of the initial “lessons” that Tenaya undertook, and if you pay close attention, you’ll even see some tidbits of editor attitude popping up now and again. If you are new here, you have some catching up to do. … Maybe now would be a good time to note that we continue to like alliteration too. [FEATURED TAGS: Tenaya Video, Asia Carrera, Exclusive Video] |
4/25/09 | The NFL Draft finally airs today on ESPN so we can finally stop talking about what some team might do given a list of potential decisions regarding several possible courses of action. Maybe. For our purposes, Maverick chimes in from 247AdultStars with something of a much more certain universal interest, that being Kristal Summers. OK. So technically he forgot to turn on the audio feed when recording the BTS video, but most of us won’t mind that nearly as much as listening to functionally innumerable football “experts” telling us all the good and bad stuff that happened today. … Just because you’ve done something professionally doesn’t make you qualified to explain, or even talk about, it. Right? If you don’t believe that, try listening to a porn star talk about sex some time. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars.com, Kristal Summers Video, Exclusive Video] |
4/22/09 | It’s Earth Day today, and what better way to celebrate the wonders of Mother Nature than by planting a tree for the health, edification and enjoyment of future generations? … Yeah, well, after you do that, you might want to drop back by here and take a look at what a new company like Night Moods Productions can get us to do. In some ways this resembles our occasional “Gee, you get to be test subjects for new technology” approach, actually. (OK. It may not “resemble” so much as it “exactly duplicates” that approach, but why be overly picky?) On the decided upside, though, if such experiments fall under the heading “Variations on a Lesbian Theme” and include A.J. Bailey, Monique Alexander, Capri Anderson, Tori Black, Samantha Ryan, Melissa Jacobs, Renee Perez, and Jenna Haze, you’re not likely to mind the examination very much at all. [FEATURED TAGS: A.J. Bailey, Monique Alexander, Capri Anderson, Tori Black, Samantha Ryan, Melissa Jacobs, Renee Perez, Jenna Haze, Michael Ninn] |
4/20/09 | We continue with our “Dee“lightful promises today as yet another installment of the Dee at KSEX history sees the light of day. And this is good, and makes Dee happy, which is always very good. … We also provide a much less subtle hint regarding future plans here as you get one of the most candid video views you’re likely to see on our new friend in “The Law According to Tenaya” — which probably isn’t anything like you think it might be. On the upside, not being able to predict beautiful women sort of refines their charm, doesn’t it? [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, Cytherea, Tenaya Video, Exclusive Video, D.Minion] |
4/17/09 | With coverage of the latest Michael Ninn shoot for Celluloid Addiction, we’re offering up our own (certainly reverent) “Rocks of Ages” today. Honestly, it can become a bit difficult to maintain journalistic integrity when you’re watching a porn star give a lap dance to a Buddha. Then hearing one of the attendant starlets proclaim “Other girls have so much drama,” pretty much leaves one the choice of laughing out loud … or leaving the room and laughing out loud. Fortunately for us, we don’t claim much in the truly “journalistic” field, and as for integrity, well, we plan on looking that word up in the dictionary some day. [FEATURED TAGS: A.J. Bailey, Monique Alexander, Capri Anderson, Tori Black, Samantha Ryan, Melissa Jacobs, Renee Perez, Jenna Haze, Michael Ninn] |
4/13/09 | Apparently there are some alleged dawdlers out there who just now seem to be finishing up their tax returns for last year. … Actually we say “alleged” just to be nice, since we happen to know at least two of them personally, if you want to know the truth. … So for these folks we’re providing a temporary, and humorous, respite from icky tax terms. If you happen to be from California, you might just enjoy this Members’ Post a little more than usual, and you should be able to enjoy a beautiful naked woman in sunny Mexico, regardless of your domicile. Don’t worry, you dawdlers, “The sun will come out tomorrow.” (We should write a song.) [FEATURED TAGS: Emmanuelle] |
4/8/09 | So all the new servers were up and humming along happily. The Message Board was working again. The store could process transactions again. All was well in the world as we headed off to LA for the big shoot. Maverick had even carefully crafted his 2009 AVN Awards Show report, and was all set to go out like a lamb with it on March 31st. … But apparently in our haste to hit the proverbial porno road, we forgot to give Mav access to the new happily humming servers. … Well, you know what they say: OOPS. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars.com, AVN Awards, Exclusive Video] |
4/6/09 | We explain this unusual lapse in the time between our posts very thoroughly in the members’ section. Actually it might be more accurate to say that we “define” the lapse, and have a grand ol’ time while doing it. Have you ever had every single knowledgeable person you meet tell you not to do something, but you really, really want to do it — so you do it anyway? Well, meet A.J. Wells.

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff
10/28/07 | We learn about money and naked British women today. Or maybe we just read about the process of Maverick coordinating a photo shoot for naked women utilizing almost no money. … Or (and this would be the more likely option, truth be told) we just look at a bunch of naked pictures of Kaz B and Masie and we pretty much ignore everything else. Hey, the NFL’s broadcasting in HD again today. For our part we have learned the occasional value of brevity. [FEATURED TAGS: Masie, Kaz B., Maverick] |
10/25/07 | Relationships are tricky animals. And relationships in the porn industry can be downright treacherous. Of course that doesn’t keep them from happening, and thus nothing keeps us from talking about them. Of course none of this technically has a great deal to do with Inari Vachs creating some “Pier Pressure” of her own, but we do find a way to work in Winkin’, Blinkin’, and Odd. Sometimes we worry about ourselves. We really do. [FEATURED TAGS: Inari Vachs] |
10/20/07 | Well this might be another “how” issue, but of a much simpler variety as Dee offers up one of her very early Cam Shows for replay. Of course we also give a brief look at another of her KSEX exploits, this time with Kiki Daire of the “Triple-D” fame. Sometimes just appreciating the how can look very nice indeed. [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, Kiki Daire, D.Minion] |
10/16/07 | In an unusual twist, even for us, we offer up an examination of The How as much as The What this time around. Now we still let you in on the inside scoop on the latest big movie shoot we attended, and we provide impetus for soulful ruminations on life in a Microsoft World. We actually open with a brief reality check as we’re poised on the regular American Political Proving Ground, and eventually we even transition into some heretofore not publicly known intrigue involving Juli Ashton’s Night Calls, her original cohort, Doria Rone, and Playboy TV’s foray into the “Let’s Make a Movie About Our Series” business. Not to give too much away, and we’ll tell you right up front that we haven’t honestly seen the necessary sales or income reports required to be absolutely sure, but we’re thinking that The Simpsons Movie probably made more money. Clearly there’s no accounting for taste. … Of course we pretty much rely on that around here. [FEATURED TAGS: Night Calls, Juli Ashton, Doria, Vicca, Nikita, Emma, Chrissy, Risque News Insight] |
10/11/07 | As you read the varied historical perspective we’ve provided as accompaniment for a title called a capella, you’ll probably pick up on the irony. By definition, obviously, these items are meant to stand alone (or in this case usually lie alone). Come to think of it, if you “lie” alone to have sex, do you more correctly, then, lay alone? Things can get very confusing fairly quickly around here, but if you just concentrate on Jana Jordan, Heather Vuur, Rita Faltoyano, Carli Banks, Marie Luv, Daisy Marie, Holly Wellin, Ginger Lea, Andie Valentino, Marlie Moore, Lena Nicole, Alana Langford, Alexis Love, Tiffany Sweet, Jenaveve Jolie, Kaiya Lynn, Mika Tan, Nikki Benz, and Renee Perez it will help. It may not technically clarify much, but it does serve as a dandy distraction.

10/9/07 | We’ve done it to ourselves again. We don’t really have that many people working around here and everyone seems to be in the middle of one of those “Mega-Posts” that take a lot of time and organization. Consequently, if we ever make it through the queue, we’re quite certain you’ll be fascinated and intrigued … or maybe just entertained. We can live with either. Until then, we’ve taken a moment to appreciate Dee’s breasts, which if you’ve ever wondered turns out to be a dandy way to motivate people in the workplace. Now we have to be honest and point out that it may not work for all of you in all of your work places, but if it does, feel free to share. Dee’s very friendly as a rule. [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, D.Minion] |
10/5/07 | Well, we’re not exactly sure what an “Old Wave Hooker” would be, except maybe Xaviera Hollander. And we certainly have no idea what a “Neu Wave Hooker” might be, presumably because we’re much to old. Still, we have a very good idea about a couple of “New Wave Hookers” and how artists like Gregory Dark and Michael Ninn interpret them. Hey, if you have to start a weekend, doing it with hookers is always a good idea. (Please don’t tell your mom we said that.)

10/02/07 | How about we go back to something a little more normal here? OK. So we don’t really have all that “normal” in the grand scheme of “normal” around here, but how about we go back to something that doesn’t involve fairly dubious fact checking? We can be absolutely certain of what happened when D.Minion was on Day Two of the Mamacitas 8 set, and we have over 150 pictures to prove it. That Dee, she’s a talented thing, ain’t she?
