Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

1/31/14	Probably not very many adult companies have a Dolly Parton quote framed in their entry way, but we do. During an interview one time, Dolly said, “People have no idea how much money it costs to look this cheap.” … And why might this make us think of the adult industry instead of country music? Well, people probably have no idea. … [STAR TAGS: Cytherea, Natasha Marley, Jessica Drake Video, Monique Alexander Video, Nikki Fairchild Video, Olivia Del Rio, Bailey Blue, Celeste Star, Sunny Lane, Jayden James, Jessica James, Shy Love, Kennedy Leigh, Jessa Rhodes]
1/28/14	One of our all-time favorite adult industry quotes came to us from Alex deRenzy who explained, “If they’re looking at my furniture, I ain’t doing my job.” … Sometimes you need to take a step back and think about the bigger picture, a task we approach both directly and subtly today. You may need to pay attention, though, because having Kristal Summers in addition to a lesbian orgy can make your thoughts wander to more immediate considerations. [STAR TAGS: Kristal Summers, Anna Joy Exclusive Video, Marie Luv Video, Ruby Knox Video, Lana Croft Video, Eva Angelina Video, Sammie Rhodes Video, Sindee Jennings Video, 247AdultStars.com]
1/25/14	How do you provide a Gestalt View of a ceremony where they give out serious awards for Best Blow Job — and women cry if they do not win? Well, every year we try to do that, and every year we think, “My, but this seems like an odd thing to do.” … In every walk of life, some things just go with the territory, though. In a porn life, they just tend to be surreal on occasion. [STAR TAGS: AVN Awards, Kylie Ireland, Jessica Drake, Stormy Daniels, Samantha Saint]
1/22/14	We blast back into the membership business today, fresh from yet another fascinating (and regularly unclothed) trip to Las Vegas. OK. So maybe “blast” should be “crawl” if we find striving for complete accuracy to be important, but folks are blasting through the organization of a “boatload” of new assets even as we speak. Interestingly enough, our web site assets often include part of that word literally. [STAR TAGS: Inari Vachs]
1/12/14	Visions of sprinkle donuts dance in some heads at risqué, while entirely different sorts of naked beauty dominate the thoughts of others. Now we wouldn’t want to tell anyone what they “should” enjoy, so we’ll go on record as saying should you prefer to enjoy Jayden Cole in D.Minion’s “Cole-Hearted Thriller” while you eat donuts, well, we will be just fine with that. Assuming we make it back from Vegas again, we’ll see you in a week. We’ll tell you all about it. [STAR TAGS: Jayden Cole Exclusive Video, Shayla LaVeaux Exclusive Video, Cytherea, Kylie Ireland Video, Kristal Summers Video, Dee Video]
1/8/14	For future reference let us give you a little advice that you probably do not hear every day: If at all possible, you should try really, really hard NOT to be in Pasadena on the day of the college national football championship game — at least if they happen to be playing that game at the Rose Bowl. Trust us: a quarter million drunken tourists are a lot more fun if you just watch them on television. We tend to learn by doing, however, a point to which at least a couple of the new people here can attest. As “BAAB” considers the role of Powerful Women, she does an admirable job of elevating females without being overly “BAAB to the Bone” … . (Sorry, George.) [STAR TAGS: Melissa Monet Video, London Keyes, Elexis Malone]
1/4/14	To paraphrase Ron White — a pastime we rather enjoy, as you may already know — “Once you’ve seen one woman naked, you pretty much want to see them all.” Understanding that sentiment, we feel for poor Maverick and Steve who will be absent from all the naked ladies in Vegas this year. We didn’t want them to feel too badly, though, so we put together a “broad selection” (as it were, should you be one of the more politically incorrect out there) in order that they might pass the time while we’re away. We said we feel bad for them, not that we won’t have an excellent time teasing them. [STAR TAGS: Happy New Year!]
1/1/14	So what happens when two porn stars take a bath together? … Um … If you cannot answer that question without checking out our “answer” inside, then maybe you should think about joining a different kind of site. We’re not certain, but there are probably excellent ones on like internal combustion engines, or model rockets — something like that. For our part, even though we don’t use “fuel” per se, we have been known to cause a controlled explosion or two. We see no reason to change that course this HAPPY NEW YEAR!

June 2011 Risque | What’s New

… With appropriate credit to Garth:

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]

February 2009 Risque | What’s New

… With appropriate credit to Garth:

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

2/28/09	Well, we did warn you that the 2009 Adult Entertainment Expo reports were about upon us, so at least we’re not hitting you completely out of the blue here. That said, Uncle Gibby has thoughtfully begun to burst the dam with only a trickle from Day One today. He had grander plans, truth be told, but as it turns out creating projects for your friends and creating projects for web publication happen to be completely different animals. As does our old buddy Georgia Adair, though, Gibby does hail from the often bitterly cold state of Wisconsin, and we can tell you that the “frozen brain” syndrome at least comes up in the conversation when you’re enquiring about rationale, née excuse, in these sorts of situations. Still, he has a fine sense of adventure (or else he would have run from the rest of us screaming in terror, like most sane people do) and he has an excellent serendipitous flair when it comes to providing opportunity for a dazzling intermission. After seeing his words in print here, you should know, odds are good that Gibby will then set about wondering why he couldn’t accidentally get this beautiful women in his home instead of finding himself watching her from it. Yeah, we’ve all felt that on occasion around here; we consider it just one of the oddities of porn life. Cheer up, Gibby. It could be worse: You could live in London. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Jessica Drake, Stormy Daniels, Sunny Leone Video, Adriana Sage Video, Exclusive Video, Uncle Gibby]
2/25/09	A person can say a lot of things about people that order milk in Las Vegas casino bars, and we’ve said both of the nice ones today. Providing both a Cliffs Notes version and a caveat with regards to impending AEE coverage around here, we also offer some unique audio interviews from the show floor. Hopefully Shayla LaVeaux, Jenna Haze, Sunset Thomas, Monique Alexander, Jessica Drake, and Lexi Love can help us all quit thinking about milk — at least in some forms. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Shayla LaVeaux, Jenna Haze, Sunset Thomas, Monique Alexander, Jessica Drake, Lexi Love, Exclusive Audio, Lon, Maverick, Steve]
2/22/09	Basically ’tis a story of a Message Board gone awry today, but we do have Heather Vandeven (Vuur) being a distraction from the deep sense of gloom and despair. Also, we have Dee, Inari Vachs, and a bit of Devinn Lane playing the part of Young Louvres. … We’re still crazy here, in case you were wondering. [FEATURED TAGS: Heather Vandeven, Heather Vuur, Dee, Inari Vachs, Devinn Lane, Exclusive Video, Risque News Insight]
2/19/09	So … “The cows were jumping out of the barn.” Or maybe “It is a tale … full of sound and fury; signifying nothing.” Or maybe if we keep saying the word TRILLION enough, pretty soon it won’t seem like such a big number. Or maybe we should just help Maverick celebrate the birthday of 247AdultStars, and try not to think about anything except pretty girls. … Yeah. Let’s go with that. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars.com, Cate Harrington Video, Exclusive Video]
2/13/09	For some reason Friday The Thirteenth seems to be a festive day for our illustrious leader here at risqué. That could, of course, be due to the rather unusual name that his hippie parents anointed him with, or it could be because we find ourselves once again discussing life on a lesbian porn set. Whatever the case, it does make for a dandy day, ancient superstitions aside. Since we also have a reputation for honesty around here, we should probably also point out that our leader could perhaps be more illustrative than illustrious, though. Still, with enough beautiful naked women in the mix, who really cares? [FEATURED TAGS: Renee Perez, Charlie Laine, Celeste Star, Sabrina Rose, D.Minion]
2/9/09	Don’t you love it when really famous people say really stupid things? This morning on NBC a quite well-known chap actually said, “You show me a man, and I’ll show you someone that likes cross-dressing.” Now we don’t claim to speak for every man in the world here, but we’re thinking this dude really might need to spend some time outside of the theater district in New York City. … Call it a hunch. While he’s figuring that out, and undoubtedly answering all the similarly-suggestive emails he’ll certainly receive, we decided to Debut Tenaya for the members today. We’ll obviously explain more inside, but let’s just say that we’re confident in our belief that more men will enjoy meeting Tenaya than enjoy wearing high heel shoes — and probably more women too, come to think of it. [FEATURED TAGS: Tenaya]
2/6/09	Consider today a public service announcement on “Acceptable Hazing” methods if you will. Of course since we’re talking about Maverick’s jet-lagged haze as he prepared for the Adult Entertainment Expo this year, and we’re essentially using Jenna Haze in some admirable illustrative enterprises, some people in “The Public” might not find this announcement all that helpful (or appropriate if you want to know the truth). Basically, though, we’ve learned to ignore those people. They’re depressing. [FEATURED TAGS: Jenna Haze Video, Michael Ninn, Exclusive Video]
2/2/09	We have a new writer debuting today, one Mr. “Al K. Purria” — which apparently translates to some tasty Puerto Rican dish if you know how to speak Spanish. Since he did happen to be covering his newbie view of the Las Vegas Show this year, we suggested that a more appropriate pseudonym might be “Al K. Holl” … but apparently some Puerto Rican people don’t know what’s funny. Más cerveza, por favor. ¿Dónde está el baño? [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, AVN Awards Show]

March 2008 Risque | What’s New

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]
