Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

7/30/10	Just for the record, if you ever get a new friend in Los Angeles, she should own a ranch in the hills. We happened to be at two such places over the last few days, one of them drinking margaritas, and one of them not drinking margaritas because we just had to bring by our donation for the Pet Rescue Center before getting the heck out of Dodge – because we didn’t want to be stuck late drinking margaritas again. When Pour Me Another Tequila Sheila starts sounding like one of the greatest songs ever written, you should really call it a night. Also you all donate something to your local pet rescue … after reading this right now, naturally. [FEATURED TAGS: Tori Black, Erica McLean]
7/24/10	Did you know that déjà vu has an opposite partner called jamais vu? It means feeling like you’re seeing something that should be familiar for the very first time. Well, Felicity lends us her photographic talents today, and even after having been present on literally thousands of adult movie sets, we found ourselves amazed. People might be surprised to learn that a great many very talented people populate this industry, and not all of them work in front of the camera. Not that we wouldn’t want to see Felicity naked, but that’s another story entirely. [FEATURED TAGS: Megan Foxx, Emy Reyes Video]
7/22/10	To some extent we find ourselves without guidance today as the head guru dude is off working with Cytherea to help get the rest of the elements in line for the launch of her new site, and D.Minion is (we swear) off attending the General Hospital Annual Convention in Los Angeles. Obviously the first decision we understand completely, and the second one baffles us completely. At any rate we have been left to “complete” Maverick’s latest 247AdultStars entry today, and we have done so with our completely typical aplomb. Basically, we complete you. … Nice, isn’t it? [FEATURED TAGS: AdultStars247, Sandie Caine Video, Exclusive Video]
7/18/10	None of us here could find a definitive answer regarding how old a person has to be before they can become an existential, but it does seem like you should probably be older than your typical new porn star. Of course some would argue that women that choose making adult movies as a vocation must by definition hold at least some existential concepts dear, even if they don’t perceive them as such. Others would argue that expressing one’s sexuality openly and without shame indicates rather a strong moral compass and a dedication to individual empowerment. … Then there are those of us that would argue that there’s altogether too much arguing in life already, and so we should really just stop arguing and enjoy the unusual people, like Erica McLean and Megan (“not that one” ) Foxx, that populate the planet. … Also, everyone should have dogs. If everyone had dogs, there would be no war. [FEATURED TAGS: Megan Foxx, Erica McLean]
7/14/10	Feast or Famine. That’s what they say, right? Well, whoever “they” happen to be, “they” certainly hit the nail on the head this time around. All of the sudden everybody here has so many independent projects going on that we actually have a temporary written sheet to help keep track of them all. And computer geeks don’t like writing; that’s a fact. Still according to the Aged Ones in charge writing is actually faster and more efficient sometimes. (Yeah, right.) On the other hand, the crush has given one of the newer team members a chance to do a little investigation of Dee, along with Kinzie Kenner and Yasmine Milan. How bad can that be? As a matter of fact, also according to the Aged Ones, if we let people play with Dee stories once in awhile, they don’t whine nearly as much about workload. Even computer geeks agree with that. [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, Kinzie Kenner, Yasmine Milan]
7/9/10	This has all the markings of an interesting few days coming up, as we’re headed into downtown to help Cytherea with her next web content shoot, and then we plan on visiting our first ever “Exxxotica Los Angeles” convention. Usually we go to “Erotica Los Angeles” which would obviously be a completely different gathering (as you can tell by the completely different name), but AVN decided not to have “Erotica” this year (not that they really told anyone or anything, but we’re not bitter). Then we’re going to be on set for a couple of days with Erica McLean where presumably we will learn that on occasion pigs do indeed fly. Cytherea has chimed in further to help everyone pass the time in our absence with a blast from her past we’ve entitled “A Cy and a Thigh High Sigh” – simply because we’re weird that way. And if you’re familiar with Cytherea at all, you understand completely that we use the term “blast” here in a literal sense. The Geeks will be here doing their Geek Things, though, and after perusing today’s commentary, you’ll likely understand a bit more – and be quite happy doing so. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea Video]
7/6/10	Just to be sure we get everyone mentioned, because they do bop all over this “socializing” story here, it was (in order of Marty’s Photo Page Appearance) Nicki Hunter, Jenna Haze, Sara Sloane, Misty Stone, Belladonna, Bobbi Star, Kirsten Price, Savanna Samson, Joanna Angel, and one bodaciously cute Production Assistant named Mandie hanging around on this day, but Tori Black, Kayden Kross and Kagney Lynn Karter didn’t get there until very late, so we have to save them for the next installment. Of course we still have plenty to cover (or uncover) today, so we’re not overly sad. Also, if you’re a Member here you know how much extra credit counts, so you might think about boning up on Kenny Rogers trivia and Greek Mythology. That’s probably not the type of “boning up” you expected here, right? [FEATURED TAGS: Nicki Hunter, Jenna Haze, Sara Sloane, Misty Stone, Belladonna, Bobbi Star, Kirsten Price, Savanna Samson, Joanna Angel]
7/2/10	The current favorite for the Local LA Area Bumper Sticker contest we keep perpetually in motion around here reads, “Where am I going, and why am I in this hand basket?” Now you shouldn’t read too much into the fact that we’re talking a bit about AVN today, and if you do read something into it anyway, we can assure you that we plan on denying everything. As a matter of fact, that turns out to be a pretty good plan for life in general. Feel free to try it yourself. If nothing else, it annoys the dickens out of most people, and that’s always fun. [FEATURED TAGS: Felicity]

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

6/30/10	You know how comfortable old friends can be? When they happen to look like Shayla LaVeaux, and they happen to have Shayla’s decided openness about nudity in general, well, they make darn good house guests too. Of course Shayla happens to be much more than a pretty face, and she has some dandy ideas about excellent travel arrangements, as we learn today. She’s even gotten into the spirit of our liaison with our British bud Maverick, although we’d be willing to bet she’s going to win the flirting contest with pretty much anyone named “Lexi” that you’re likely to run across. As long as we get to watch, though, we don’t really care who wins. (Hey, sorry about that Mav.) [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux, Phoenix Ray, Evan Stone]
6/26/10	Oops! We’ve mentioned this before, but we really hold to the opinion that you should never let the boss at your place of employment actually do any important work. It’s just going to get messed up, either because they haven’t done this particular task for years, or (in a technology field like ours) they may well have never known how to do it in the first place. Consequently we’re putting up the picture set courtesy of Michael Ninn’s wonderful skills at still photography today, that actually should have gone with the story a couple of days ago. We suppose it’s nice that somebody noticed, and we do appreciate all those (occasionally annoying) “silver lining” people around here, but for their benefit, we felt obliged to close with this little bit of wisdom we’ve acquired over the years: When you wake up seemingly stuck in life’s same ol’ thing circle, you should never forget that not everyone who shows up is there to help you. [FEATURED TAGS: Jana Jordan, Jana Cova, Georgia Jones, Faye Reagan, Karlie Montana, Jennifer Dark, Michael Ninn]
6/24/10	Here’s something we learned this week: Hockey introduced the first testicular guard, the Cup, in 1874. The first helmet showed up in use in 1974. Consequently, this means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important. That kind of adds a little perspective to evolution, doesn’t it? Speaking of evolution, that concept as it pertains to the personal relationships of porn stars actually mirrors the lives of the rest of us mere mortals more than you might think. Theoretically we’re continuing our analysis of the issue, this time benefited by “The Janas – Jordan and Cova” – not so much because they’re vital to the illustration as because they’re just really darned beautiful. One needs standards in life. And one needs to be able to define the logic behind those standards as one sees fit. [FEATURED TAGS: Jana Cova Video, Jana Jordan Video, Michael Ninn]
6/20/10	Most of us really hate doing something over again. Of course most of the time we don’t have Wendy Divine offering up some very good reasons to do so. We won’t belabor a rather mundane web coding point here, but if you want to read about how this all came about you can certainly do so. Of course if you just want to see the 225 rather impressive pictures of Wendy enjoying herself with Nick Manning, well that’s fine too. For what it’s worth, Nick seemed to be doing certain things over and over again, and he seemed fine with the concept. It’s really wonderful to make Wendy smile, actually. That’s probably what Nick was after. [FEATURED TAGS: Wendy Divine, Nick Manning]
6/18/10	Do you want to start an interesting conversation tonight? As you’re sitting down with your Significant Other to eat dinner, just try out this sentence and see where the conversation takes you: “So, if you had a clone, and I had sex with the clone, would that be cheating, since the clone is by definition an exact copy of you?” … OR … If you prefer to actually eat your food, as compared to wearing it, you might talk about the wonderful insights on Georgia Jones that you derived from the risque.com Members’ Area today. … OR … Maybe not. … This all comes down to how understanding your Significant Other happens to be, and doesn’t that just about sum up life perfectly? [FEATURED TAGS: Georgia Jones Video, Michael Ninn]
6/13/10	Apparently at least the East Coast newspapers haven’t learned a whole lot in the last 230+ years. It wasn’t exactly Bunker Hill, but when U.S. and England tied in a soccer match yesterday, the coverage in that part of the country celebrated like we’d actually won the contest. Fortunately we devote absolutely no time whatsoever trying to figure out why that might be as we instead delve into the “Bonus Evolution” of our own special Brit. … Seriously, we’re probably way too American to understand why people seem to get this excited about the World Cup anyway. It’s not like they’re playing football or anything. [FEATURED TAGS: AdultStars247, AVN Awards, AEE, Faye Reagan, Sasha Grey, Lexi Love, Exclusive Video]
6/10/10	Brandy. What a fine girl. In fact, what a good wife she would be. But D.Minion’s life, her love, her lady, is Marie. … Some days are just like this around here, and while we could apologize for the occasional pun and references to very old songs, it wouldn’t make them any less painful. Members have learned to either forgive or ignore us; we’ve never been quite sure which. … And if other adult sites don’t work in this fashion, well, We pity the fools. [FEATURED TAGS: Brandy]
6/7/10	If you look around and you notice a bride having sex with the groom and a priest in one room, and a couple of basically naked women cutting the heart out of a guy in another room, you’re either at a Kylie Ireland movie or one of our office parties. … OK. So we’ve never really killed anyone at an office party, but we did see what transpires when someone gives Kylie “artistic control” of certain parts of a movie, and then asks her to direct as well. … She ends up casting herself as the bride … and then that other stuff we just talked about happens. We call it A White (Trash) Wedding, because that’s the way we are. [FEATURED TAGS: Kylie Ireland]
6/3/10	What could possibly possess someone to travel to the middle of the some Fates-Forsaken desert in 100-degree heat? OK. So thirteen beautiful porn stars hanging around a swimming pool wearing itty-bitty bikinis might do it. … But not much else could, right? … Fortunately for us, we’re going with the thirteen beautiful porn stars scenario, and today we’re letting you in a little bit about how this all came about. We’re also packing sun screen and looking up on the internet how to fake sunstroke. Do you think porn stars give mouth-to-mouth if you have sunstroke? How about a hurt leg? … We can limp. [FEATURED TAGS: Monique Alexander Video, Belladonna Video, Stormy Daniels Video, Exclusive Video]

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

5/30/10	Can you look back at any particular group of days in your life and think, “You know, that was really, really good … “? We assume that almost all of us can do that, and if you can’t, well we’re sincerely very sorry for you. That said, you should really get about setting up one of those times for yourself, and we’ve helpfully provided some suggestions here today. Just as a hint: It helps if you can bring along a few beautiful porn stars. Having someone else foot the bill turns out to be important too. Things definitely don’t go better with broke. [FEATURED TAGS: Vicca, Nikita, Lola, Doria, Heather Hunter, Lexus Locklear]
5/28/10	Advertising Campaigns don’t usually set themselves up as themes in our little Risqué Commune world, but they do seem rather prevalent around here over the past month or so. Consequently, when we decided to keep plodding though all the Dee at KSEX Coverage, the slight (but ever-so-beautiful) bonus at the conclusion became interestingly appropriate. Also, assuming things go according to plan, we’ve now set the stage for a more significant Advertising Campaign Contribution in the future. Of course according to plan always seems to be the wild card around here. One thing about it, our lives are never boring. [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, Kinzie Kenner, Lexie L’Amour, Stella]
5/23/10	If you’ll pardon the potentially politically incorrect influence for a moment, we’ll tell you that although we’ve shown all manner of “chicks” around here, this might be the first time we’ve actually shown you chickens. And what, you might wonder, do chickens have to do with Maverick’s observations (and various levels of stalking) with Days 3 & 4 of the most recent AEE? Well, we would tell you, should we deign to answer such a reasonable question, not so much really. On the other hand in this case they do work as a metaphor for the condition that arises when you take a boy out of his normal element and he seeks to commune with nature. Being potentially politically incorrect can be pretty deep it seems.

5/20/10	I wanted to call this “Cytherea Flies Solo Anew” but D.Minion said that would be overly erudite. (Yeah, she talks like that.) Of course “anew” she wouldn’t go for it. … Now how’s that for not overly erudite? … We should probably get to the story. It’s always a bit scary when we start making editorial comments before the author even gets a chance to start the actual article about which we sit posed to comment. … Hmm. Maybe we can be overly erudite. … Ah, well, Too erudite is human. To eschew sublime. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea, Exclusive Video ]
5/14/10	Confounded you may be by the conceptual alliteration levied today, although you should find it fairly easy to ignore the intrusion into a part of your brain you weren’t seeking to stretch at this time. It’s the latest in the Shayla scenario, and that fairly well covers all the important part. Should you feel particularly erudite, you may also enjoy D.Minion’s Intelligence Quotient contribution, although we’ll tell you right up front that if you happen to be an English Major who grew up on a farm, it will enhance the likelihood of your success. [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux Video, Brynn Tyler Video]
5/10/10	Quick to correct a cultural error, we are. And talk like Yoda, we might. On the other hand, in case you’re curious, we also understand The Trouble with Tribbles. Of course that doesn’t do much to explain the rather festive lesbian liaison we have on tap today between Paola Rey and Marlie Moore, but how much explaining does that really need anyway. Heck it’s probably in the part you just skip over anyway. For what it’s worth, we’d advise against that, honestly. “Once you start down the Dark Path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will.” [FEATURED TAGS: Paola Rey, Marlie Moore]
5/8/10	Have you ever seriously considered doing something just because it sounds fun, even if pure logic would probably recommend against the idea? And then have you ever considered that this illogical idea probably sounds “fun” just because it will involve regular interaction with a spectacularly sexy woman? And have you cared? … Well, we’re big fans of sexy women around here, and although we haven’t quite “decided’ what precisely we’re going to do, odds seem good that you’ll enjoy the thought process here. [FEATURED TAGS: Audrey Hollander, Kimberly Kane, Madison Scott, Erica McLean]
5/5/10	Naturally we celebrate Cinco de Mayo every year around here. We’re deep believers in the benefits of cross-cultural understanding, the recognition of world history, and the progressive evolution that marks the ongoing transcendence of the human spirit as it seeks its peaceful nirvana. Also, we pretty much go for anything that includes a party with tequila and guacamole dip. Now our newest risqué office member put together the post for today, and we’ll freely admit that he may have missed the entirely accurate mark. Just as soon as we recover from the cerveza tomorrow we’re going to do a little bit of explaining to him too. Still, what we lack in technical accuracy we more than make up for in raucous conviviality. [FEATURED TAGS: Jessi Palmer Video]
5/2/10	Porn Stars can actually teach us a lot. Now we’d be the first to admit that not everything they can teach us will turn out to be extraordinarily valuable on a regular basis, but any artisan can tell you that a lot of truly fine work in the world starts with simply possessing the right tools for the job. And let’s face it: Who can really tell us better how to handle uncomfortable questions or situations than a Porn Star? And given Dee’s attire during the contribution today, we’re reasonably certain you won’t care if you ever have a reason to put any of the more erudite recommendations to use anyway. [FEATURED TAGS: Dee]

January 2010 Risque | What’s New

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

1/31/10	Ah, but we love these “Performer of the Year” posts. OK. So we love them even more when we happened – some months ago – to suggest to Mr. Ninn that should his new company really wish to lock up at least one contract player, this woman would be an extraordinary choice. Well, Michael did not in fact sign Tori Black, and ironically her continuing freelance status undoubtedly led to her ability to work enough to capture her lofty title. Still, it seemed like a dandy turn to the more traditional around here if we’d pause our “Seen Behind the Scene” on the industry and just provide some video evidencing that occasionally even AVN gets it right. [FEATURED TAGS: Tori Black Video, Michael Ninn]
1/29/10	Highlighting our dedication to really funny t-shirts, we thought we’d share our favorite entry at the Adult Entertainment Expo this year. It read: I got a dog for my wife, and it was the best trade I ever made. … So it’s not exactly Shakespeare, but it does contain a charming pithiness, don’t you think? Well, speaking of endearing pith (and not Shakespeare), we’re continuing our bizarre (even for us) approach to the AEE coverage with D.Minion’s Behind the Scenes look at the filming of those silly and highly entertaining “Intermission Skits” – which AVN uses at the Awards Show while important and necessary things are happening back stage. Rumor has it that Uncle Gibby has video footage from the audience, he having somehow snaked a “VIP All Access” pass to the event, but we’ve seen nothing official confirming that. We’ll keep an eye out, though, even as we’re off to the store to buy a Snuggie. Then we plan on seeing if we can get Monique Alexander to get into it with … basically anyone in the office she chooses. We’re all pretty much on the same page as far as that goes. [FEATURED TAGS: Sunny Leone, Riley Steele, McKenzie Lee, Kayden Kross, Ashlynn Brooke, Belladonna, Alexis Texas, Monique Alexander, Stormy Daniels, Georgia Jones, Faye Reagan, Ron Jeremy]
1/26/10	As it turns out, the higher the quality of the assets you’re dealing with, the better your equipment needs to be in order to handle it. … Hmm. That’s sort of like dating porn stars if you think about it. … Well, much to his current (and ongoing) dismay, Maverick doesn’t happen to be dating any porn stars at the present, but he does get invited to their parties often. Since he couldn’t handle the low-light video with his system in London, he did have to wait to come to the home office in sunny Southern Cal in order to ready the clip for posting, however. Consequently, the “Christmas Party” reference might seem a bit “dated” (as it were). On the other hand, the concept of beautiful women drinking and getting naked on a dance floor does seem to be one that transcends seasonal interest. We’re fine with it. [FEATURED TAGS: AdultStars247.com, Cate Harrington Video, Katie K Video, Faye Rampton, Saucy Sally, Tanya Cox, Sarah Kelly, Michelle Moist, Tracey Lain, Exclusive Video]
1/23/09	Now we’ve done a lot of fairly bizarre things on the web over the years, but as far as we know today will constitute the first time that we’ve ever posted what boils down to an open email correspondence to the dozen or so aspiring Porn Starlets we talked to at the convention a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps this approach will turn out to be a little less insulting than getting what would have to amount to a glorified form letter (without all that much glory, truth be told), or perhaps the comely lasses may still take offense. We can say for certain, however, that the Members continue to get industry insights that you just can’t find anywhere else. … Of course they’ll have to decide for themselves whether or not this constitutes a good thing. [FEATURED TAGS: Georgia Adair]
1/18/10	Have you ever noticed that the fancier and more sophisticated you get in your work, the longer it takes to accomplish it? Maybe we just get pickier as we get older; that could be it. Whatever the cause, we’ve come up with yet another technical advancement around here, put in place via the newsworthy Expo we just left. It’s darned impressive, if we do say so ourselves. (And honestly, sometimes in life you need to say so yourselves.) These days people get bombarded with a sheer volume of information via the Internet to such an extent that nice people like us need to help. We live to serve you know. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Exclusive Video]
1/12/10	You’ve probably heard this a lot of times over the years in various contexts: We’re BAAAACK. Now you’ve probably not heard it all that often when you happen to be talking about a group of rapidly aging journalists attending a big honking porn convention, but life has curious turns, so maybe you have. That said, if you’ve been a Member here for very long you understand how hanging around with young, beautiful, people who happen to make their living having sex on camera can provide a youthful influence to any life. Let’s look into that, shall we? [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Devinn Lane, Miko Lee]
1/6/10	True to our occasional form we take awhile to get around the point today, so you might think about just clicking that handy-dandy video icon at the top of the page, thus skipping all the rationale (and metaphysical aspirations) that basically come down to today’s system being an excellent way to torment those we love. Uncle Gibby’s moving into a new phase of the “Commune Risqué” this month, so we’re Suitably Celebrating with Anais and Dee. Hey, if anyone can think of a better way to celebrate than that, please let us know. [FEATURED TAGS: Julia Ann, Dee Video, Anais Video, Michael Ninn]
1/3/10	Generally when we create this “New Stuff” part of the current site entry, we decorate it (while providing a handy visual link to the story) with a thumbnail graphic culled from the story itself. It’s quick. It’s easy, and it makes sense. Occasionally, though, we do weird things around here, and whatever’s on tap for the day doesn’t actually have a quick and ready graphic for us to multitask here. That happened on December 7^th, but little did we know that this one puny image would actually spawn emails full of curiosity. Well, we decided to answer that question, and pose a few more. Even though we’ve all embarked on a New Year, some things really don’t change all that much. [FEATURED TAGS: Charlie Laine Video, Michael Ninn]
1/1/10	The date pretty much says it all here, right? Sadly this could describe way too many dates you’ve had in your life as well, a topic we’ve promised to avoid in the Commune Team Risqué Resolution this year. Putting decade upon decade of experience together we’ve come up with a fail-safe New Year’s Resolution System, and if you want to borrow it, feel free: Aim Low! Disappointment can be really depressing, so we’ve found it best to avoid it as much as possible. For example, we all Resolve to continue to adore Krispy Kremes this year. … See? You can do this. … We also have other Resolutions that involve many, many naked women, but you’ll have to hang around a bit to figure some of those out – the resolutions, not the women. (You can’t figure women out. Decade upon decade of experience has taught us this too.) [FEATURED TAGS: Happy New Year!]
