The Way We Were

[A lot of people would not expect any sort of a “biographical moment” for an adult movie star to ever include the sentence, “I had flown out to PA to work with a friend on the oil pipeline….” Of course, these Cheyenne Silver Views reflect our traditional Risqué Philosophy, that being essentially, “Yeah, well normal people are boring.” … What follows, then, serves as a literal introduction to the weirdness — albeit definitely of the fun variety — in our lives. Why be boring?]
Watching a young couple under the influence of infatuation can be a wonderfully entertaining experience. Doing so when the couple in question has only known each other for a few days, and they both happen to be adult performers 
Consider this one of those “we like to do nice things for friends” kind of things, where we talk a little about what’s new, reminisce about what was old, and probably take a moment to consider the beauty of the female form in today’s Tails from the Stripped

Too often people have to die before we consider their contributions in life. Of course mortality slapping us in the face tends to bring out all sorts of defense mechanisms, because let’s face it: The dead person would probably still rather be alive, even if nobody talked about all the really brave things they did in their lives.
