Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

11/29/09	Supposing you just want to experience our lovely Tenaya providing her own amount of Pink Comfort today, you’ll be quite happy with the exclusive photo set she’s provided today. If, on the other hand, you enjoy a little erudite contemplation with your less cerebral pursuits, you might find today’s editorial worthwhile as well. Considering that you all might be watching the NFL today anyway, just take solace in the fact that this will all be here tomorrow. [FEATURED TAGS: Tenaya]
11/26/09	The cover of Cosmopolitan this month lists an article titled, “His #1 Sex Secret” in big bold red letters at the top. Clearly they forgot to include the necessary tag line which should obviously read, “Does Not Involve You.” That said, we males should probably be thankful for that oversight, and with today being the official day for giving thanks, it seems appropriate to mention it here. We touch on some more reasons inside … which also seemed appropriate.

11/21/09	Cold weather brings thoughts of bitter cold, too many clothes, travel woes, and general mushiness in many aspects of life, right? Well, in Southern California we do what we can to empathize with the rest of the country, but we generally only get as far as Aurora Snow before we forget to be kind and start thinking how we really don’t miss this time of year back in our home towns. Unless you’ve spent some time here, you probably don’t know it, but despite the vast number of people in Los Angeles, no one really seems to be “from” here. A dandy collection has migrated in, however, so we’re all planning on getting together to feel bad for those of you whose “drift” still means a bunch of frozen water, and not a clever idea. We’re planning on doing this at the beach, though, so odds are good you’re on your own this winter too. Sorry about that (theoretically).

11/18/09	So D.Minion walks into the office this morning and says, “I had a dream about Dinah Shore last night.” … Now the story went on from there, but you don’t really need to hear it all in order to understand that life with D.Minion defies description — almost all of the time. Stir in a Day in the Life of Devinn Lane, add a bit of Juli, Wendy, and Tiffany seasoning, and you might be satiated enough to even forget the weirdness. If not, D.Minion recommends Krispy Kremes. (Hey, she’s not always crazy.) [FEATURED TAGS: Devinn Lane, Wendy Divine, Juli Ashton, Keri Windsor]
11/15/09	One of the basic tenets around here for the last ten years has been that we should always show the adult industry in its actual light, however dim that may be. After all, only network television routinely scripts “reality” shows, and having a bunch of isolated writers, some making tens of thousands of dollars per episode, set about determining how things “should” be to “look” real has always seemed, well, silly to us. (Yeah, yeah … So maybe TV in general elevated ludicrous to an art form, but that’s another discussion for a different day.) For now, we’re bringing in another of Maverick’s “Cam Shows” — which essentially involve simply putting a video camera on a tripod and pointing it at the beautiful women currently teasing Mav’s still camera. Even though it wouldn’t qualify as a dazzling new incarnation of applied technology, when Cate Harrington provides the talent pool, you don’t really need to over pay people completely inexperienced with the premise to tell us all how it should play out. When you look like Cate, you can pretty much play it any way you want. Some things in life do in fact make sense. [FEATURED TAGS: AdultStars247.com, Cate Harrington Video, Exclusive Video]
11/13/09	Friday the Thirteenth supposedly brings an ominous ambience. We fear. We fret. Or perhaps we happily embrace a “reason” to just stay home and look at porn — whatever works. In our case the day has for some reason always been a rather refreshing one, perhaps in part to the leader named “Lucky” we conjecture. On this particular day, however, we attribute our good feelings to a decision to once again let Kylie Ireland be in charge, and let D.Minion document the event. Long days spent working seem ever-so-much more pleasant in retrospect. Have you noticed? [FEATURED TAGS: Dana Vespoli, Chayse Evans, Charlotte Vale, Kylie Ireland]
11/9/09	When Steve (or “Just Steve” to you older members) visits the risqué LA offices from the wilds of Colorado, people begin to reminisce. Much to Lon’s dismay, Steve happens to have been the very first member of the Risqué Commune Sites, before at some point we realized that we needed more help around here and enlisted his assistance. … More to point for today would be the conversation that began about Kristal Summers and her early days, and even more pertinent would be the actual visual evidence we have of that first memorable trip with the crew. Now Steve will eventually be heading back to work out of South Park, Colorado (Yes, there really is a place called that.), and all we’ve been able to advise him so far is to stay away from the little fat kid, because he’s always trouble, and never, ever stand too close to anyone named Kenny. … If you have any better advice, Steve would probably like to hear it. [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers]
11/6/09	Steve here (AKA SteveD, Just Steve, for today known as “Mav’s Not Here So Let’s Give That Guy All The Work” ), on location from Risqué central. While bemoaning the Broncos first loss of the season, the topic of Julia Ann came up. I don’t remember exactly how, but if you’ve spent any time with us, you know the topic can quickly shift from just about anything to a beautiful woman — and then to that same woman naked. At some point I asked if anyone knew how many tattoos Julia has, which was a trivia question at one of the member’s parties. I didn’t know the answer then, and I still don’t today, but if anyone has a guess, I’d be willing to personally check with Ms. Ann to see if you’re right. … We had to cut Just Steve off here, explaining how we really try diligently not to ramble, at least in the introductory section of a story. Understanding that, you might feel free to jump over all the whereas and whys contained in today’s presentation and just get right to that beautiful naked women part. We call it Sybian Symbiosis, and that should explain enough all by itself. [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton, Julia Ann, Becca]
11/3/09	Two common, albeit amazingly distinct, definitions come to mind when thinking of “The Golden Rule” , neither of which seem to steadily rule the roost when it comes to adult movies, at least in a microeconomic sense. Although certainly the women in the business appreciate a hearty being done unto, they pretty much make the rules even if they haven’t socked away a whole bunch of gold yet. Maybe it’s always men that make up these sayings, you think? [FEATURED TAGS: Julia Ann Video]

June 2008 Risque | What’s New

… With appropriate credit to Garth:

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

6/28/08	You know, when we called Maverick yesterday to joyously tell him about the new Kristal Summers post from his trip here, he said, “Hey! Remember that I was going to announce the new Kristal videos on 247 and I made you screen grabs for Carol so you could put that part on risqué and talk about it too?” … And then we said something like, “Oh, yeah. That’s right. … Um. … BYE.” (Sometimes the Brits just don’t seem to understand the whole joyous appreciation of life thing. Have you noticed?) … So anyway we might be putting up this Kristal solo in the wrong order, but it won’t matter much in the long run. Brits may not be the most joyous folks, but Americans can flat rewrite History with the better than most anyone. [FEATURED TAGS: 247 AdultStars.com, Kristal Summers]
6/27/08	Well, it’s summertime for sure, and although perhaps not technically “easy” these days, it sure beats the heck out of the alternative. Besides, one of our favorite philosophies has always been, “If it were easy, anyone could do it.” … That said, Kristal Summers offers up a little proof that it’s a nice way for a white bedding, and any time you can get a solo Kristal into the same paragraph with Billy Idol and George and Ira Gershwin, well it seems like a pretty successful day all the way around to us. [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers Video, Exclusive Video]
6/22/08	“Titillating” seems to be a reasonable goal around here, and sometimes we even manage to accomplish that without resorting to the obvious pun references the word implies. Theoretically we set out today to allow you members to see a much more visual distinction between the “Las” Vegas Adult Convention and the “Los” Angeles Adult Convention. D.Minion provides some highlights of the former while we wait for Lon on the latter. Now the LA part this year involved trips to (count ’em) three new restaurants, though, including one rather lavish buffet, albeit perhaps not up to Las Vegas standards. We will see. Those of you that have been around awhile will know how much Lon appreciates a good meal, and will consequently understand the labor-intensiveness of his current assignment. Then, as current events have a way of doing around here, more titillation has been ensuing, and we’re helpless to avoid its pull. At the very least, we entertain ourselves. But feel free to pop along for the ride. It’s always interesting. (That’s a Chinese curse, right?) [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Stephanie Swift, Belladonna, Kylie Ireland Audio, Jessica Drake Audio, Exclusive Audio, D.Minion]
6/18/08	We have a “Wilde” “Trinity” (with a triptych) today. And we even lay out our insightful version of the simple “Vachs” at risqué . Sometimes it’s confusing enough just saying what it is; have you ever noticed that? It may, however, lead to simpler understanding as you go through life. Thus, you may feel free to spend the rest of the week asking, “What it is?” to everyone you meet. At the very least you’ll amuse yourselves, and if that’s not the mark of a supremely successful life, we certainly can’t think of what it might be. [FEATURED TAGS: Inari Vachs, Kylie Wilde, Trinity]
6/15/08	Sadly, as a result of the recent major earthquake, one of the giant pandas at the Wolong Research Center in China lost its life. As do people throughout the world the children of the land love the pandas, prompting one distraught youngster to question which fine animal passed away. “Who died, papa? Which one was it? Papa, papa, who?” … At least this was how one of the major networks here reported the news. Probably because of time constraints the network cut away before airing the father’s reply, but we’re pretty sure it went something along the lines of “Papa, papa who? Mao Mao.” (… And if you know how to pronounce the most famous leader of the People’s Republic of China to date, and know a little American popular music history, well, it won’t make that the most impressive joke you’ve ever heard, but it will help a lot with understanding it.) … Fortunately today we’re taking a video look at our old friend Cheyenne Silver, and we’re not even mentioning a thing about natural disasters anymore. Still, it’s good to remain at least somewhat aware of world events, and it is Father’s Day, so we had to at least mention dads out there. (Besides, they might know The Beach Boys in China.) [FEATURED TAGS: Cheyenne Silver Video, Exclusive Video]
6/10/08	Well, we have to start somewhere, so we might as well start with the artistic angle, right? Or maybe we should start with the bizarre. That’s always fun. … Or we could show off some fancy Photoshop collages too; that would be nice, as would a custom video segment showing off the general weirdness of our existence. Those are always popular. … So that’s how we started bright and early this morning, and then we figured out that we’re in LA, and we just got back from Erotica LA …. And that pretty much ties together all these things. OK. So it’s not earth-shattering logic, but we’re really a lot better after a few cups of coffee. [FEATURED TAGS: Erotica LA, Exclusive Video, Maverick]
6/5/08	Ah, but we love the BTS footage. We find it a wonderful way to really see not so much what movie sets are like (because even if you’ve never been on one you’ve probably seen enough clips on television to pretty much know what they’re like) but because this type of footage gives the most accurate capture of the moods of the actors and actresses at a precise moment in time. (And you’ve probably seen enough clips on television to know that those little moods are nothing if not volatile too.) As is his now tradition, Maverick has also put together some screen grabs for Carol, since she still can’t see video on the web, as most of you probably know even if you’re not a member. By our estimation, Mav’s either a very nice man, has a not-so-secret crush on Carol … or he just thinks it would be very handy to marry an American. … For today, color us cynical and entertained. [FEATURED TAGS: Lorraine Sisco, Faith Leon, Daisy Marie, Kellemarie, Nevaeh, Exclusive Video]
6/2/08	Oh, we’re learning a lot today. We have a functional display of the typical interaction between the Homo sapien male and female. We investigate the inherent quirkiness of cab drivers around the world. We highlight a bit of the cultural differences just the distance of one ocean can create, oh, and we talk about the weather. All in all, just consider it another day of Maverick Adventures with Isabella Kay. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars.com, Isabella Kay Video, Exclusive Video]

June 2007 Risque | What’s New

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

6/30/07	It may seem hard to believe, but we always read and (mostly) listen to the member emails that come in. Now we can’t say we always follow the “advice” since some of the “suggestions” seem to be physically impossible, but some of them are actually nice, and those we tend to pay attention to. We also like giving friends a semi-public chance to “vent” when life has given them lemons … or marshmellow bunnies, or something … and so we’re able to accomplish two goals very early in the process today. We get to see a lot of “Dee Behind the Scenes” changing clothes and generally being adorable and we get to learn some history that involves many, many naked women. All in all, with this much accomplished before nine o’clock in the morning, we’d better go spend some quality time with the dogs. Y’all have a good time, and feel free to eat some chocolate waffles this weekend. Live a litte. [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, Georgia Video, Justine Joli Video, Michael Ninn, D.Minion, Risque News Insight]
6/26/07	Details remain sketchy at this point, but it appears that D.Minion and Lon had a meaningful experience with Julia Ann over the weekend – which happened to include the use of a bed. We decided that while we’re uncovering (as it were) more details, today might just be a good day to recount some Julia Ann experiences with our old friend Inari Vachs. Apparently Julia Ann has developed some experience dealing with Naughty Amateurs – which would undoubtedly include both Lon and D.Minion, by the way. [FEATURED TAGS: Julia Ann, Inari Vachs, D.Minion, Risque News Insight]
6/17/07	We’re off to a geek convention so that we might learn new and improved ways to be confused in our everyday efforts, and then we’re staying down for the Erotica LA Convention next Weekend. Now as we understand it, one should make a practice of being kind to strangers, and so that’s what we’re doing in this particular mega-venture to entertain you in our absence. While Maverick doesn’t qualify as someone we don’t know obviously, we can assure you with absolute certainty that he is indeed stranger than most people you’ll ever meet. Lamenting his failure to arrange a visit to correspond with our upcoming parade with porn stars, he … let’s say, unhappily … pointed out that we never made time to publish his … let’s say unique … adventures at the AEE last January. So we’ve made the (considerable) effort to do that. Without providing too much editorial comment at this early juncture, let us just point out that you could read 1,000 words and look at 100 pictures on each of the seven days covering our little trip here, and you’d still have four more pictures to go – along with Heaven knows how many words. Culture is a curious thing; add it to the XXX world, and you’ve got an interesting animal to say the least.

6/14/07	You know what’s good about Mia Smiles? Well, darned near everything if you want to know the truth. So when Mia stepped in as wardrobe mistress, and cell phone aficionado, and talent to work with Katsumi, we decided we’d hang out and see if anything interesting happened. It seemed to oddly enough. Go figure. We love that about life. [FEATURED TAGS: Katsumi, Mia Smiles, Trinity, Monica Sweetheart, Penny Flame, Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn, D.Minion]
6/9/07	We’re reveling in technology today, which fortunately we’re making with a great deal of Juli Ashton and even more gratuitous nudity. And if you think about it, any day where you can say that seems like a pretty good day all the way around. Consider it technically Juli as a Diva and effectively as Juli just being dazzling. It’s good in life not to overcomplicate. [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton Video, Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn]
6/6/07	In keeping with our basically weird existence we have a special report today that’s a “Lala” shoot that doesn’t actually happen in LA. We know: It sounds confusing. And if you think that’s bad, just wait until you get to the European Geography part. Uh-Huh. Now we’ve said this before, but you really might consider just skipping to the 100+ pictures of the beautiful naked woman. Either that, or you’re gonna need a map, and you really have to be careful about paper cuts … at least on some parts of your person … that may be rather exposed while you’re looking … or maybe not. We’ll just move along now. [FEATURED TAGS: Lala X, Maverick]
6/2/07	Favorite shirt we saw at the rodeo this weekend: “Sure beer has no food value but food has no beer value either.” … OK. We didn’t really go to the rodeo this weekend, but there’s one in town and this guy wearing a cowboy hat had that shirt on, so we figure it’s a fair assumption that the shirt ended up at the rodeo too. We make leaps of faith like that, and you’ll likely notice a few more of them as we conclude Becoming Georgia Adair: Self Portrait with Day Two of D.Minion’s traditional epic. Be warned: There was a kitty cat on set and if you’ve been a member for awhile, you know what that means. [FEATURED TAGS: Georgia Adair, Sharon Wild, Michael Ninn, D.Minion, Risque News Insight]

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

1/31/07	Haiku, you may see with a gasp, And fear all your reason has passed. But fret not our friends. Insanity ends, When only we’ve posted our last. 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. [FEATURED TAGS: AVN Awards, Kristal Summers, Dee, Heather Vuur, Heather Vandeven, Faith Leon, Monica Mayhem, Audrey Hollander, Lorraine Sisco, Aurora Snow, Lyla Lei, Rebeca Linares, Charlotte Stokely, Exclusive Video, Maverick, D.Minion]
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 …. [FEATURED TAGS: Mika Tan, Nikki Benz, Jenaveve Jolie, Kaiya Lynn, Lorraine Sisco, Michael Ninn, D.Minion]
