Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

8/28/11	The best way to test the skills of a person trying to do a new job tends to be comparing the way they do the exact same thing as someone else has done. Like most philosophical principles, however, it tends to be difficult to test, since setting up the “exact” same task can be functionally impossible. Life simply has too many variables. Fortunately for us at risque.com some constants do exist, and we have people who have been around long enough to remember them. We’d never be so boring as to attempt a mere “Apples to Apples” analysis, however. Nope. We much prefer the “Cytherea to Cytherea” algorithm. We’re clever that way. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea, Missy Monroe, Jenna Presley, Angela Stone, Michael Ninn]
8/27/11	Occasionally in life you find yourself in a situation where your most sophisticated intellectual response follows generally along the lines of, “Huh. That’s odd. I wonder what in the world possessed them to do that.” … And then hopefully you do something worthwhile, like eat chocolate chocolate-chip ice cream or something. Today just might be one of those days, but when you have Shayla LaVeaux, Raquel Devine and various other miscellaneous pretty people to help you with your ruminations, you probably won’t mind very much. You will need to supply your own ice cream, however. We can only do so much. [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux, Raquel Devine, Katsuni, Miko Lee, Olivia Del Rio Video]
8/23/11	Be careful what you wish for. And while we’re on the topic of simple advice that people almost never listen to, you might be careful about the examples you’re setting for others in life. Dedicated (or perhaps more Devious) students might take advantage of an opening to provide some teaching of their own — which the teacher will almost certainly ignore, of course. Could it be that Lessons Learned are not in fact like Bridges Burned; or could it be that “learned” doesn’t really mean what we think it means? … It’s a good thing we don’t do philosophy for a living on risque. It’s hard. … Well, we do “do” hard, but that’s a different story. [FEATURED TAGS: Renee Perez Video, Sabrina Rose Video, Syren Sexton Exclusive Video, 247AdultStars.com, Michael Ninn]
8/20/11	Well a warden didn’t throw a party in the county jail — at least not for anyone we know, which doesn’t say much because we don’t actually know anyone in the country jail — so we had to modify the song allusion to “Jailhouse Walk” for our purposes today. If Elvis had not died back in 1977 he would be 76 now, as all of those people remembering the anniversary of his death kept telling us this week. Of course we responded by pointing out that if Duke Albert of Austria hadn’t died on the same date, he’d be 653 today. None of that has anything whatsoever to do with Cytherea or Katja Kean, however, a fact that probably makes members feel a lot better about coming inside. [FEATURED TAGS: Katja Kean, Cytherea Video, Michael Ninn]
8/17/11	One of the exceptional benefits of having an intelligent, insightful, and interested Membership base stems from the fact that it tends to keep poor, overworked, webmasters focused on task. Of course, should any web minions make an error, a zealous Member might jump upon the oversight, resulting in general feelings of sadness around the office. Over the years we have found a rapid and complete lapse into Denial to be quite a benefit in the recovery process — even if only in the psychological sense. In addition, a quick ratchet into righteous indignation can be helpful. In this case, alas, the intelligent, insightful, and interested Member might actually be correct, so after hours and hours of anguish and pointed despair, we arrived at a fitting Official Response: “Whoops. Dang.” … Honestly descending into proper angst really takes much more devotion and dedicated attention than we were willing to devote to the project. We have many naked women to document; we’re really busy. [FEATURED TAGS: Athena Angel, Shayla LaVeaux Video]
8/14/11	Every once in awhile, no matter how long you’ve been doing something professionally, you can still be surprised — at least if you have fun doing what you do for a living. Differently in this job, most likely, you can accidentally run across a beautiful woman masturbating and it doesn’t result in some mandatory report to Human Resources (a title which takes on an entirely different connotation when you put it in terms of masturbation, actually). Should Aurora Snow be such a woman you might be inclined to comment upon how many people in the country would welcome a little “snow” in their lives right about now. But that wouldn’t be necessary, really. “Beautiful Woman Masturbating” pretty much gets people’s attention without much elaboration. [FEATURED TAGS: Aurora Snow Video, Michael Ninn]
8/13/11	The intricate process of becoming a beautiful model — with professional-level skills — took Anais, well, maybe five or six seconds as it turned out. Some people just seem to be born for the camera. And wouldn’t you know it, we just seem to always have a collection of cameras with us. Ain’t serendipity cool? … Now since this complete (this time) collection of “first time as a professional on camera” photos happened to take place in a fancy bathroom, and since we’re set to the task of reminding everyone to check Shayla.com because Shayla does some bizarre stuff over there, well, this all seemed perfect. Truth be told, though, we honestly can’t remember when an excuse to see Anais (and Shayla) naked came up that didn’t seem perfect. Odd. … [FEATURED TAGS: Anais, Shayla LaVeaux Video]
8/10/11	Chaos surrounds us! France has turned out not to be that reliable of an ally, and people have suddenly realized that the stock market may not be something that we should just play around with on a daily basis. Gosh, who knew? To provide a calming influence, we’re doing a bit of “Dee Constructing” today, providing pithy economic lessons, critical utopian philosophy, and beautiful naked women. Seriously, where can you find a better combination — even on the big ol’ World Wide Web? [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, Inari Vachs, Alektra Blue Video, Jessica Drake Video, Kirsten Price Video, Kaylani Lei Video, Mikayla Mendez Video]
8/6/11	Did you happen to know that a flibbertigibbet refers to what you might more easily recognize as an “airhead” if you tried to have a conversation with one? Now the fact that we’re ruminating upon the vast array of adjectives that have evolved throughout civilization simply to describe stupid people should not worry you at this point. You can just ignore us as usual, and get to the more centered reality of our typical discourse, that being life in the adult movie business. … Yep. Not a flibbertigibbet around here anywhere. We’re a very serious lot. What does “serious” mean again? [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea, Cassidey, Anna Joy, The Four Trailer Video, Michael Ninn]
8/3/11	Kristal called in the other day, very excited about a series of “Wrestling Videos” she’s set to do with our old friend Tanya Danielle. Rather than correct Dear Ms. Summers by pointing out that “video” would probably not be the technically correct term anymore, D.Minion immediately recalled that she had a photo set of Kristal and Tanya from way back, ironically at another time in her life when our Dear Kristal Summers fell into the Eager Beaver category. Granted we probably didn’t correct Kristal because many of us here still use the term “video” to describe a shoot, but it could have been the thought of soon getting to see Kristal and Tanya naked again. That can be very distracting all on its own you know. [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers, Tanya Danielle, Lola, Jade Marcella]

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

6/30/11	We’ll pretty much consider anything as a topic if it leads to a discussion of female masturbation. We’re quirky that way. And every group needs a leader, of course. Well if you’ve spent any time at all as a member in the Risque Communes you’ve undoubtedly become familiar with D.Minion, our resident Queen of Quirk. This time around she somehow manages to take Lala X, a British adult actress, and meld her into a special Love, American Style. As you probably guessed, we are in fact talking about the television show that ran 40 years ago. … See? … Quirky, right? [FEATURED TAGS: Lala X Exclusive Video, 247AdultStars.com ]
6/28/11	Odds seem pretty solid that we’d have paid a lot more attention in Health class if Nicki Hunter had been our teacher. In addition to being an awesome singer, Ms. Hunter has a rather unusual (we assume) perspective on at least one of the four basic food groups, as you may learn today. Should education enterprises such as this seem overly taxing for your current mood, you might just pop over and see how Shayla LaVeaux chooses to pass the time in a recreational vehicle. Road Trip anyone? [FEATURED TAGS: Nicki Hunter Exclusive Video, Erica McLean Exclusive Video, Shayla LaVeaux Exclusive Video]
6/25/11	If you spend some of your free time reading, you’ll occasionally run across some wonderful quotes. For example, John D. MacDonald wrote, “Life is the process of finding out, too late, everything that should have been obvious to you at the time.” Now the fine author penned this pithy observation in The Only Girl in the Game, but to be fair, we actually discovered it as the introduction in Paul Levine’s Slashback. After such a literary introduction of our own, you might think that we’d be on an intellectual quest today, perhaps explicating a poem by John Donne and dealing with a rather different form of conceit than the adult industry usually provides, this of the metaphysical sort. … Naw. We’re just letting D.Minion rant about how she hates to miss things and remembering fondly the first time we got to see Cytherea’s new boobs. … We all enjoy life’s callings a little differently. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea]
6/23/11	To be quite honest, one of our favorite aspects of working on this site for over a decade has to be that we simply don’t need to make stories up. While we do rather enjoy reading fiction, the dedication and attention to detail that it requires to actually write it really doesn’t interest us much. Around here it works much more like a typical “editorial” job in an old fashioned journalistic setting. Of course we would maintain that our particular subject matter tends to keep one’s general interest more than, for example, local politics, or even the local football team. Come to think of it, probably all the NFL players are looking at risque.com every single day while they wait for the lockout to end. That makes sense, right? [FEATURED TAGS: Cassidey Video, Michael Ninn]
6/20/11	Most of us have probably heard the saying “The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry” – or some sort of variation on that translation. Many of us, however, might be surprised to learn that the quote does not come from the book Of Mice and Men, but rather comes from a really old poem by Robert Burns, which inspired the name of the aforementioned book. Sadly neither Mr. Burns, or the excellent author John Steinbeck ever got a chance to photograph Cytherea taking a bath, and we feel sorry for them. As for the members, you can look up the poem if you want, but looking at Cytherea would probably be a lot more fun. Because we’re kind and like to give hints, the relevant lines in the poem read literally, “The best-laid schemes o’ mice an ‘men / Gang aft a-gley” (ouch) while Cytherea in a tub reads like the photo here. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea Exclusive Video, Wendy Divine]
6/17/11	At its essence life comes down to a matter of perspective. You can approach it with emotions ranging from calm benevolence to malevolent ire, but in the end we’re all going to end up in the same place. No matter how rich you happen to be, no matter how many friends you have on facebook, the final chapter will read the same for each of us. What matters, therefore, becomes how we interact with the world before that final date on the tombstone. Take D.Minion. … We keep asking and yet no one seems willing to. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo 2011, Shayla LaVeaux Exclusive Video, Cytherea, Raquel Devine Exclusive Video]
6/15/11	Do you know how you can tell if you’re bowling with Cytherea? At some point in the evening the PA announcer will utter the words, “Wet cleanup on Alley 11” in one variation or another. (True story.) … Not everything that porn people do in life has to do with being nude and sweaty, shocking as that may seem, and this time around we’re celebrating that fact to rather lengthy extent. Heather Vandeven and Michelle Maylene drop by to help D.Minion’s story (thus the “lengthy” part of the description), and then you can pop over to Cy’s site in case you missed her update earlier this week. Come to think of it, you can watch her “prepare” for bowling, although you’ll still need to bring along your own sweat, assuming you find that appropriate. We figure you can handle that part. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea, Heather Vuur Exclusive Video, Heather Vandeven Exclusive Video, Michelle Maylene Exclusive Video, Nicki Hunter]
6/11/11	Let’s see, shall we? We should be talking about shooting explicit photos of Cytherea on a couch, and eventually we do get there, but we take what we’ll term an unusual path in the process. We’ve got modern technology, Greek Mythology, inventions from classic Hollywood starlets, WWII, and even foreign nuclear reactors to get through first. Can you tell Lon wrote the story? Really, really smart fellow, that Lon. He does seem to rattle easily on occasion, however. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea, Vicca]
6/8/11	Doing some of the most normal things in life can take on an … let’s go with unusual … twist when you do them with porn stars. Of course given the choice between the normal and the not, everyone in this business would choose the latter. Look at it this way: We wouldn’t have chosen this profession if we felt at all typical in our overall approach to life. Allegedly time will tell if we’ve chosen the right path, but until then, everyone should lobby for the chance to make ice cream with Shayla LaVeaux. [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux Exclusive Video, Jessica Drake, Phoenix Ray, Dolorian, Evan Stone]
6/4/11	You have your basic Hall of Fame in a lot of different places in life. What you’ll find a lot more rare will be these instances where you can find a Hall of Should Be Fame when you run across it. Of course if you found a hall that contained Sabrina Rose, Celeste Star, and our good friend Charlie Laine, you could probably think of a lot of ways to make that famous too. It all seems relative in life, doesn’t it? [FEATURED TAGS: Charlie Laine Video, Sabrina Rose Video, Celeste Star Video, Michael Ninn]
6/2/11	Should you be reading this historically, you won’t notice any difference, but those looking at it currently certainly will. As almost all of you know by now, for the last week or so we (along with millions of others in cyberland) have been under attack by an admittedly quite smart, but altogether nefarious character nonetheless. For the first time in our history we actually got “cracked” and have been frantically dealing with the aftermath for some time now. Finding the leak, as it were, is nothing compared to repairing all the damage done, if you want to know the truth. We’ve got it all locked down again now, better than ever ironically enough, and we’ve got a bunch of stuff backed up in the queue which we’ll rebuild quickly. We’ll catch up. We always do. And we do so elegantly, as you can tell from the picture of Shayla here. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo 2011, Shayla LaVeaux, Cheyenne Silver, Rayveness, Stormy Daniels, Kayden Kross, Sophie Dee, Bobbi Star, Stoya, Ginger Lynn, Monique Alexander, Faye Reagan, Jesse Jane, Jenna Haze, Tori Black, Alexis Texas, Jessica Drake, Alektra Blue]

March 2008 Risque | What’s New

… With appropriate credit to Garth:

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

3/29/08	And now for something completely different. … OK. So those of you that have been members for some time probably realize that one could use that particular sentence referring to just about anything we’ve ever done around here. But we did make a conscious effort this time. After our last “topless girls pretending to wrestle” effort, we decided we should do something as far away from that “fluff” as possible. It didn’t take very long for someone to say, “Well, D.Minion on any of the Neo_ sets would fit that bill perfectly.” We decided this to be perfectly true, and so we’re heading into this particular “matrix” with DM on the set of Neo_Pornographia 4 – because why in the world would we start with number one, after all? Oh, and the person that came up with this idea has now received a very public “Thank You” for the suggestion, which turns out to be a lot cheaper than giving them an actual raise in salary. [FEATURED TAGS: Audrey Hollander, Holly Wellin, Stacy Thorn, Nicki Hunter, Marie Luv, Michael Ninn, Exclusive Video, D.Minion, Risque News Insight]
3/26/08	After surveying a very knowledgeable group of people deeply involved in the porn business, here is what we can definitively explain about the breadth of human sexuality: “We have no idea if limits even exist, and we’ve long ago stopped looking for them.” Great. That helps a lot. … Quite honestly what we’re talking about this time really looks a lot like a significantly more amateurish and topless version of the WWF – or any other of those confusing wrestling acronyms. Still, those poor souls don’t have Kristal Summers and Charlie Laine in the ring. … Um, so WE WIN! … Don’t you just love it when that happens? [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers, Charlie Laine]
3/25/08	It might actually be “all in a name” – if you’re like a philosopher or something. If you still have to pay your rent every month, though, erudite musings really lose their luster quickly. So we thought we’d offer the one super-secret to success in the movie business today, and we thought we’d use the adorable Cassidey as sort of a visual aid. If you get to choose, we’d always suggest picking beautiful naked women to help you out. Just put an “e” on the end of the “aid” word. [FEATURED TAGS: Cassidey Video, Exclusive Video]
3/19/08	The annual Adult Entertainment Expo can be a deeply personal experience, as any of you that have been members for very long can attest. … That’s one of the themes for today, as we pay necessary homage to the American writers in the fold. It seems that we’ve been ignoring those particular contributions, but we can assure you that it’s only because of volume rather than malice. (Never attribute to malice what stupidity can adequately explain.) If we give you another quote it may help: “It actually looks as though Sunset Thomas may have some new competition in the “Best Star to Get Multiple Photos With” category. Being the consummate professional, and purely dedicated to the edification of the risqué Member, however, Lon probably forgot to enjoy this at all. … Probably.” Or it may not help at all. We can never tell. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Sunny Lane, Celeste Star, Kylie Ireland, Sunset Thomas, Jessica Drake Audio, Shane Audio, Exclusive Audio, Steve, Lon]
3/15/08	Thus speaks anew the U. K. contingent. (Well, it’s really just Mav and a U. K. production company that we work with, but “contingent” sounds much better, don’t you think?) And although technically this would just be Maverick’s experiences and photos of Day Two of the AEE, when you’re talking about U. K. folks you get to say fun things like “thus speaks anew” – and that’s fun. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars, Adult Entertainment Expo, Lexi Love, Christy Canyon, Jenna Haze, Gina Lynn, Natasha Nice, Exclusive Video]
3/12/08	In an unusual twist, even for us, we’ve set about a Variation on a Theme as we continue a bit with Ms. Kylie today. Well, maybe it’s really more of an Extrapolation on a Theme … or really even more precisely an Extrapolation on a Hypothetical Theme. … Come to think of it, maybe it’s best if we just stop trying to explain it and let you get to it. Begin with this: Nudity as Life …. [FEATURED TAGS: Kylie Wylde]
3/10/08	We’re going in search of Kylie today, although which one remains a bit of some conjecture. Now you have to consider that there are a few of them in XXX now, and then you have to factor in that each “persona” in our business tends to take on a wide variety of incarnations over time. So depending on which Kylie, at which point in her career, that we get, the impact could change a lot. On the upside, naked females enjoying themselves has always seemed like a dandy control group to us.. Don’t you just love our science? [FEATURED TAGS: Kylie Wylde Video, Exclusive Video]
3/8/08	Have you ever spent a few weeks watching people getting bloodied in a bunch of, although certainly creative, relatively messy ways? … That doesn’t matter. … You know what’s better? … Looking at lots of pictures of Kristal Summers naked. … Now granted looking at lots of pictures of Kristal Summers naked pretty much beats anything, but this time you can also listen to interviews of Ninn Worx Producer, Lorraine Sisco, and risqué Friend Kylie Ireland while away a little time with D.Minion as she played around with some new toys. (Before you get too excited here, we should tell you that it was just a new digital recorder and had nothing to do with the more traditional “adult novelties” as you may have come to think of them. On the other hand, we do have those pictures of Kristal Summers naked. Could be worse. (Horror movies are bloody. Have you ever noticed?) [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers, Lorraine Sisco Audio, Kylie Ireland Audio, Exclusive Audio, D.Minion]
3/4/08	Ever think about traveling with a porn star? … We mean seriously think about it. … Well, it can be an interesting experience, if for no other reason than looking at the people’s faces around you when you walk into an airport, or a hotel, or any other “normal civilization” location. Today we thought we’d give you a little previously unseen exposure to what it can be like – with, say, Inari Vachs. Upon reflection you’ll probably like the way we think. [FEATURED TAGS: Inari Vachs, Risque News Insight]
