12/31/09 | Did you know that the term “Blue Moon” technically refers to the second full moon in a given calendar month? Now that pretty much sums up the educational value from a purely scientific perspective, but Maverick chose this last day of 2009 to celebrate his continuing love of breasts (which happens a lot more often than once in a blue moon, as you might know). Given close inspection here, we’re all perfectly prepared to defend the position that Syren Sexton has two characteristics relevant to this discussion that could give one a reminder of full moons, though, and there are, by definition then, two of them in a calendar month, so maybe this all closes out the year quite nicely. Isn’t science fun? [FEATURED TAGS: AdultStars247.com, Syren Sexton Video, Exclusive Video] |
12/29/09 | Having given it careful consideration, it seemed prudent to finish talking about one convention before we start the next convention in about a week. We should admit, perhaps, that D.Minion happened to be the big proponent of this approach, concerned as she remains with tidiness when it comes to all things porn. Now the fact that we happened to be behind on her Erotica LA coverage probably had nothing to do with that (rather firm, if you want to know the truth) decision. Really. Swear.

12/25/09 | If you’re one of those people that think Christmas has become way too commercialized and has thus lost the quaint, family-oriented (if not distinctly religious), meaning behind the holiday … Or if you’re one of those people that think Jesus was just a prophet, and not the Son of God, anyway … Or if you’re one of those people that think that regardless of any of that, h/He was actually born in the summer and hundreds of years later some folks “changed” his birthday to coincide with a distinctly Pagan Celebration surrounding the Winter Solstice … Well, gee, we hope you get all those tough issues figured out so you can be happy again. For our part we’re going to simply wish you all Happy Holidays! And then we’re going to sit peacefully and drink some eggnog. Odds are good there’ll be rum in that eggnog come tonight, actually.

12/24/09 | Elected officials in Washington claim to be giving us all a “gift” this holiday season, and if that’s not enough to terrify any sane U.S. Citizen, then we don’t know what might be. That said, Health Care Reform really does hold an important place in the evolution of any society wishing to grow, and we consider all the grousing about special consideration given to one state simply out of place in reality. We questioned every single person we could get to talk to us over the last few days, and not a single one of them said they would be unwilling to pay not to have to live in Nebraska. … While you mull that little fact over, it seemed an excellent time to hear Holiday Greetings from our British friend – and his friend.

12/23/09 | We could make polite conversation about the weather, because it seems that the entire country finds itself suffering from a cold spell. Living in Southern California, of course, we need to be careful about that sort of thing, because people here wear hooded sweatshirts and gloves when the temperatures drop below a frigid 60 degrees. Instead, we decided we’d distract everyone with the decidedly not frigid inspection of Kristal Summers and Dee. This ought to jump the room temperature at least 40 or 50 Fahrenheit points we figure, thus giving people in the rest of the country some solace. At least you folks won’t need to turn on the air conditioner. [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, Kristal Summers] |
12/20/09 | How many adult entertainment sites can you think of that occasionally make copious use of footnotes in their articles? Maybe most of them have a sufficiently narrow focus that makes the use of a literary “aside” unnecessary, but a broader perspective (pardon the pun, if you’re old enough to understand it) honestly does make life more enjoyable. Along with our trademark dual-color font approach to industry reporting, we’ve figured out that we have over the years developed quite a few ways to convey said literary aside. … We don’t mind rambling so much as confusing rambling. You need to keep that distinction in mind in life as you meet various entertaining people – or simply strange ones. [FEATURED TAGS: Chasey Lain Video] |
12/16/09 | So we’re on set with Ron Jeremy on Monday and he lets everyone know that from now on we should not be calling Tiger Woods a Tiger, since he’s clearly a Cheetah. (For what it’s worth, Ron specifically denied responsibility for the joke, maybe because that’s fair, or maybe because Ron specializes in making audiences groan yet another way these days.) … At any rate, you’ll probably be happy to know that we decided to focus on Chasey Lain today, rather than Mr. Jeremy, although we did manage to tuck in a brief discussion of humor as an art form, and even a little more Tiger, er Cheetah, Woods. Whatever. |
12/11/09 | We’re gearing up (and wardrobing up, if you want to get technical about it) for the upcoming round of “Parties Disguised as a Convention” in Las Vegas next month with a little exclusive retrospective on how Kristal Summers and Dee chose to “relax” at an earlier similar event. We’re also unveiling yet another update to the navigational system in the Members’ Area, just so you know. Will it make it much easier to get around and much less cluttered while you’re trying to do so? The Geeks here say that it will. Will it encourage you to take advantage of the now decade-plus volume of archival wonderfulness at the Risqué Commune? The Geeks here say that it will. … Will it make us seem any less bizarre than you may have considered us before? Absolutely not. [FEATURED TAGS: Chasey Lain Video, Daisy Marie Video, Isabella Sky Video] |
12/7/09 | Virtually a decade to the day since delineating our desires, we deploy the First Official Members’ Search Engine across the Risqué Commune. … We decided that December 7th might be the ironically perfect day to launch such a venture, in celebration of Chasey Lain’s birthday, an early risqué client, of course, and certainly not because of that other December 7th reason. Honestly we’re hoping that bit of historic misery does not portend anything at all in our circumstance. We’re a tad intrepid about this whole thing, as it turns out, as the effort could have the impact of foisting our foibles to the forefront. Suddenly it has become amazingly easy to uncover heretofore obscure links to very old stories, and it remains to be seen whether or not that constitutes a good thing. At least we’re left with our alliteration. We can always grimace eloquently. [FEATURED TAGS: Jelena Jensen Video, Charlie Laine Video, Jesse Jane Video, Andie Valentino Video, Kirsten Price Video] |
12/5/09 | Presumably one can become desensitized to anything. If you can believe detective novels, law enforcement officers begin to simply accept how bad human beings can be toward each other. An Emergency Medical Technician must develop some ability to accept the gore they might see as a regular part of life, and just get on with their jobs. Even lawyers eventually learn to accept one another. It seems to happen, after all. Similarly, in the sex business, our threshold for outrageous behavior must by definition expand as we go along. D.Minion focuses on this concept in her on-the-set report today, or maybe we’re just reading too much into it. Shock can do that to a person.

12/2/09 | As it turns out, we can really antagonize some people without even meaning to. Apparently the admittedly subjective opinion of our leader here on the topic of porn star management has reminded some industry people that they do in fact know how to read. Well, good for them, we say. Reading is important. And while we’re compiling the list of things we might wish to pursue in this suddenly intriguing vein, we did ask the aforementioned leader if he wished to apologize to those affronted by the comments in the last post. “Sure,” he said, “tell them I’m sorry they got so offended.” (We really can’t make these things up.)

4/30/09 | Both Tenured and Interned types assisted in today’s trials and tribulations in the Tempering of Tenaya. Watching young talent develop can of course be one of the most entertaining aspects for members here, and if you’ve seen any of our other Tenaya posts over the last couple of months, you can testify to that. This time around you’ll get to peek in on some of the initial “lessons” that Tenaya undertook, and if you pay close attention, you’ll even see some tidbits of editor attitude popping up now and again. If you are new here, you have some catching up to do. … Maybe now would be a good time to note that we continue to like alliteration too.

4/25/09 | The NFL Draft finally airs today on ESPN so we can finally stop talking about what some team might do given a list of potential decisions regarding several possible courses of action. Maybe. For our purposes, Maverick chimes in from 247AdultStars with something of a much more certain universal interest, that being Kristal Summers. OK. So technically he forgot to turn on the audio feed when recording the BTS video, but most of us won’t mind that nearly as much as listening to functionally innumerable football “experts” telling us all the good and bad stuff that happened today. … Just because you’ve done something professionally doesn’t make you qualified to explain, or even talk about, it. Right? If you don’t believe that, try listening to a porn star talk about sex some time. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars.com, Kristal Summers Video, Exclusive Video] |
4/22/09 | It’s Earth Day today, and what better way to celebrate the wonders of Mother Nature than by planting a tree for the health, edification and enjoyment of future generations? … Yeah, well, after you do that, you might want to drop back by here and take a look at what a new company like Night Moods Productions can get us to do. In some ways this resembles our occasional “Gee, you get to be test subjects for new technology” approach, actually. (OK. It may not “resemble” so much as it “exactly duplicates” that approach, but why be overly picky?) On the decided upside, though, if such experiments fall under the heading “Variations on a Lesbian Theme” and include A.J. Bailey, Monique Alexander, Capri Anderson, Tori Black, Samantha Ryan, Melissa Jacobs, Renee Perez, and Jenna Haze, you’re not likely to mind the examination very much at all. [FEATURED TAGS: A.J.

4/20/09 | We continue with our “Dee“lightful promises today as yet another installment of the Dee at KSEX history sees the light of day. And this is good, and makes Dee happy, which is always very good. … We also provide a much less subtle hint regarding future plans here as you get one of the most candid video views you’re likely to see on our new friend in “The Law According to Tenaya” — which probably isn’t anything like you think it might be. On the upside, not being able to predict beautiful women sort of refines their charm, doesn’t it? [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, Cytherea, Tenaya Video, Exclusive Video, D.Minion] |
4/17/09 | With coverage of the latest Michael Ninn shoot for Celluloid Addiction, we’re offering up our own (certainly reverent) “Rocks of Ages” today. Honestly, it can become a bit difficult to maintain journalistic integrity when you’re watching a porn star give a lap dance to a Buddha. Then hearing one of the attendant starlets proclaim “Other girls have so much drama,” pretty much leaves one the choice of laughing out loud … or leaving the room and laughing out loud. Fortunately for us, we don’t claim much in the truly “journalistic” field, and as for integrity, well, we plan on looking that word up in the dictionary some day. [FEATURED TAGS: A.J. Bailey, Monique Alexander, Capri Anderson, Tori Black, Samantha Ryan, Melissa Jacobs, Renee Perez, Jenna Haze, Michael Ninn] |
4/13/09 | Apparently there are some alleged dawdlers out there who just now seem to be finishing up their tax returns for last year. … Actually we say “alleged” just to be nice, since we happen to know at least two of them personally, if you want to know the truth. … So for these folks we’re providing a temporary, and humorous, respite from icky tax terms. If you happen to be from California, you might just enjoy this Members’ Post a little more than usual, and you should be able to enjoy a beautiful naked woman in sunny Mexico, regardless of your domicile. Don’t worry, you dawdlers, “The sun will come out tomorrow.” (We should write a song.) [FEATURED TAGS: Emmanuelle] |
4/8/09 | So all the new servers were up and humming along happily. The Message Board was working again. The store could process transactions again. All was well in the world as we headed off to LA for the big shoot. Maverick had even carefully crafted his 2009 AVN Awards Show report, and was all set to go out like a lamb with it on March 31st. … But apparently in our haste to hit the proverbial porno road, we forgot to give Mav access to the new happily humming servers. … Well, you know what they say: OOPS.

4/6/09 | We explain this unusual lapse in the time between our posts very thoroughly in the members’ section. Actually it might be more accurate to say that we “define” the lapse, and have a grand ol’ time while doing it. Have you ever had every single knowledgeable person you meet tell you not to do something, but you really, really want to do it — so you do it anyway? Well, meet A.J. Wells.
