12/31/10 | At this point we’ve pretty much given up on Business as Usual around here, as everyone has pretty much fallen into the Full Panic mode about the upcoming convention. When we decided to put that Countdown for Gibby on top of New Stuff, we didn’t really anticipate that this would result in common wails of AAAARGH! in the office – every time somebody here opens up the site to check something. Presuming we haven’t been overrun by a collection of pirates, one might assume that the old “Ignorance is Bliss” theory definitely seems to hold water in this establishment. Of course, since we’re almost always happy here, that should give us reason to worry, right? … We’ll think about that, and y’all enjoy Bullet Points from DM.

12/27/10 | You know how it feels when you get the opportunity to hang out with a friend that you’ve had for going on 20 years? Well, that’s how we’ve been enjoying for the past few months as we’ve all been showing off what we can do for just such a friend, Shayla LaVeaux. Today happens to be Shayla’s birthday, and today also happens to mark the launch of Shayla’s brand new personal web site. Members here get that access for FREE, and all of Shayla’s members will also get to hang with the rest of us for the same price. We’ve had a saying around here that we’ve used for years: “Things tend to work out.” … Happy Birthday, pretty lady. We love you. [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux] |
12/25/10 | Sometimes simple works best: Merry Christmas. [FEATURED TAGS: Merry Christmas!] |
12/24/10 | Don’t you just love presents? In the long list of quirks resulting in social deficiency that we possess around here, not being Politically Correct doesn’t even make the Top 40 list in all probability. Consequently, we feel quite comfortable just saying “Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas” and offering up another collection of gifts that you really shouldn’t share in just your basic family gathering. On the other hand, it does make us feel quite good to be able to offer this to the Members, and if that makes us odd, well, we weird people need love too. [FEATURED TAGS: Justine Joli, Anais, Georgia Adair, Jana Cova, Angel Cassidy, Charlie Lane, Jassie, Moni Michaels, Melissa Lauren, Audrey Hollander, Brittney Skye, Marie Luv, Daisy Marie, Heather Vuur, Heather Vandeven, Rita Faltoyano, Michael Ninn] |
12/22/10 | It’s … a Poetry, Nudity, Gala (Oh, My!) … And for what it’s worth, we’ve never heard tell of Cytherea actually appearing in a home having magically come down the chimney, but we can assure you that she’d be welcome most anywhere we suspect. At the very least she provides a lot of decorative value to the area, regardless of the season. And while we make no claim to Shakespearean aspirations around here, we can do a dandy bit with the Limerick. If you have the time to wander through, you might even enjoy the poetic license. If you just have time to gaze at Cytherea, you’ll definitely enjoy her license to thrill. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea] |
12/20/10 | Did you know that even porn stars can get jealous when “their” man participates in a scene? Well, strange as it may seem normal human emotions don’t completely abandon a woman just because she’s decided on this rather atypical career choice. On the other hand, even in the presence of these feelings the guy usually gets to escape with all his limbs intact – even if not so much his breath. … If any of you folks out there ever find yourself in this unusual situation, take some advice from someone who’s seen it a lot: Walk away clean, and whatever you do, don’t brag too much. Shayla LaVeaux, Olivia Del Rio, and Anthony demonstrate a point (or two) this time around. That’s handy. [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux, Olivia Del Rio] |
12/17/10 | If you live long enough, you’ll get an opportunity to use the word “redact” in a sentence. Actually, if you happen to work for one of the various “critical” agencies for the U.S. Government, you’ll probably get to use that word all the time — generally in response to the bellows of all those pesky But The First Amendment is Important! people. On the upside, we use bellows a whole lot more than we use gallows these days, so that seems like progress. [FEATURED TAGS: Sunny Lane, Kimberly Kane, Evan Stone, Erica McLean, Kaz B. Exclusive Video, 247adultstars.com] |
12/13/10 | Think about “C’mon Baby Light My Fire” … And if you know anything at all about Cytherea’s “speciality” in her adult performances, you know that if she did in fact light your fire, she could at least put it out all by herself. If you don’t happen to know what we’re talking about with Cytherea, well, you certainly will after a careful perusal of today’s video example. If you don’t understand “C’mon Baby Light My Fire” at all, just check YouTube. You’ll figure it out. And once reaching the video clips, if you wonder why someone in our Video Department went to all the trouble to create the complicated blueprint graphics as the background for the little introductions, we can explain that easily here too. Upon questioning we learned that this resulted from the simple fact that “Cytherea wrote the blueprints on this type of scene.” In addition to Web Geeks, Video Dudes also think they’re funny. … On the upside, you’ll even understand the Classic 60’s song reference at the end of DM’s story too. It’s fun around here. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea Video, Taylor Hayes Video] |
12/10/10 | Have you ever had a party with a bunch of porn stars and all of the sudden they all decided to pile on each other and pose for naked pictures? … OK. So probably not, but there are a great many worse ways to spend an evening in life. So we decided to look at a life of one of those stars today, and then illustrate her adorned with Devinn Lane, Kristal Summers, Dee, and Wendy Divine. That’s a heck of a good way to be adorned, just so you know. [FEATURED TAGS:Kristal Summers, Dee, Wendy Divine, Devinn Lane, Jessica Drake, Cheyenne Silver] |
12/7/10 | The more philosophically positive around here try to remember today for a different reason than history aficionados. Today, of course, happens to be Chasey Lain’s birthday. Naturally we have always wished the best for Chasey, and she’s (by all accounts, including her own) doing well. She’s actually talking about learning some web design techniques, which would make her a certainly entertaining person around the office. Consequently we’re doing some celebration of our own around here today, and giving a public vote of confidence for another lass that has had career hiccups – albeit those being of a substantially less physically risky than Chasey’s past. As D.Minion says, “We just want everyone to be happy.” [FEATURED TAGS: Capri Anderson, Chasey Lane Video, Isabella Video, Daisy Marie Video] |
12/2/10 | Each of us brings a unique perspective to life, well, unless you happen to be one of those lacky “Dear God, Don’t Let Me Lose My Job” types in Washington, D.C. of course. Of course gradations of “unique” come into play, and both D.Minion and Sunny Lane certainly represent Whos of Different Hues if you want to look at it that way. Put them both in a Las Vegas hotel room, and you can imagine where the conversation (to say the least) will go. Since we’ve now started serious planning for the upcoming Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, this little soirée seemed the perfect beginning. One thing about Vegas with a boatload of porn stars, you can find soirées out the ying-yang. … There’s another title in there somewhere.

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff
2/28/10 | Maverick and 247AdultStars begin the "official" Adult Entertainment Expo coverage, which makes those of us waiting on the reports from Lon and Steve just a little nervous, quite honestly. If you think about it, one doesn’t need to spend much time writing two or three hundred words, particularly when you’re talking about the contributors around here. Oh well, in typical fashion we’ve decided to panic about that bridge when we suddenly have to cross it, and at least Mav decided to break this mega-event up into four parts. For our part, we’ve decided that only brief editorial comment, supported by a very few quite wonderful pictures of Kristal Summers at home might be just the ticket today. Apparently there’s a big hockey game at the Olympics that people want to watch anyway. At least hockey makes some kind of sense as a sport, we’ll give it that. [FEATURED TAGS: AdultStars247.com, Adult Entertainment Expo, Kristal Summers, Riley Steele, Jesse Jane, Alexis Texas, Tori Black, Sunny Lane, Rayveness, Raylene, Gina Lynn, Jenna Haze, Jenny Hendrix, Jesse Jane, Kayden Kross, Lexi Love, Exclusive Video] |
2/23/10 | Granted most people in the adult business probably don’t look at the Tiger Woods situation the same way as more "regular" folks do. We certainly don’t want to look at it as often, that’s for sure. It seems to us (at least the males) here, that no one has ever asked the question we really all want to know. How the heck can you be that famous and get away with it that many times with that many women? We don’t give one whit about "why" you did it, but if you could just tell us HOW, that would be useful information. Being (often decidedly) not one of the males here, however, D.Minion brings in her timely (and predictably weird) take on the whole sex addiction scenario. And the benefit of looking at question here? … We get to use illustrations. [FEATURED TAGS: Devinn Lane, Penny Flame Video] |
2/21/10 | We’re not sure how many of you actually watch the world competitions going on up in Vancouver right now, but we do have a question for any of you that might be more knowledgeable than we seem to be. What kind of a person thinks it’s a wonderful idea to jump on a sled and fly down a winding tube of ice when the first thing that hits something if there’s a problem will be their head? Shouldn’t we all be just naturally wary of a sport called the "Skeleton" anyway? … At any rate, while pondering these more confusing questions, we’re continuing our own Olympic efforts with the Dee at KSEX saga, not only because it stands in marked departure from Mav’s latest entry, but also Dee has really great breasts — which never seem to be covered up by all that necessary winter clothing. [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, Kylie Ireland] |
2/19/10 | This seems to be the ultimate day for sweethearts, which seems to assume the possibility of bitterhearts, right? … And on a completely unrelated topic (Yeah, right.), we finally got a convention report submitted by one of our certainly dedicated professionals. Curiously it was not the most recent convention, but we’re getting closer, so that has to count for something. Also, Maverick’s new post does feature a great many U.K. stars, albeit in a more clothed perspective than we’d prefer. … Finally, just as a public apology here, the date on this post was supposed to read "2/14/10" to not only fit in with the introduction above, but also to coincide with Mav’s Two Year Anniversary of 247AdultStars. The person writing the New Stuff part happened to be on time. The rest of us that had to deal with a completely unexpected deluge of material, well, we were tardy. We explain briefly inside. You’d think by now that we’d have come to expect the occasional deluge from England, wouldn’t you? [FEATURED TAGS: AdultStars247.com, Erotica London, Pixie, Syren Sexton, HollyD, Keisha Kane, Exclusive Video] |
2/12/10 | Gee. It seems like about a third of the country happens to be buried in winter weather, so we made it our task to provide a splendid diversion today. Without going too much out on a limb here, we’re assuming that getting Topless with Tenaya, and Inari Vachs and Dee working on a nude advertising campaign, just might warm you up a bit. Oh, and in case you’re curious, when we go out on a limb in California, we can still see leaves. [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, Inari Vachs, Tenaya Video, Exclusive Video] |
2/9/10 | Rumor has it that if you "find a penny, and pick it up, all the day you’ll have good luck." We all know that, right? Now rather a penny, we found a Penny one fine day on a Ninn set, and although we didn’t technically pick her up, we do find the meeting particularly relevant considering the coverage (so to speak) in the risqué queue right now. Don’t you just love it when nudity and brazen sexual activity become relevant? [FEATURED TAGS: Penny Flame, Breanne, Jessica Jaymes, Dee, Lonnie, Michael Ninn] |
2/7/10 | You may wonder, "Who’s playing at half time in the Super Bowl today?" The answer, simply, would be, "Of course." ("Who is the band playing at half time today?" "Absolutely,") … It always makes for a fun day when you get a chance to pirate an Abbott and Costello routine, don’t you think? … On the off chance that you’re one of the three people on the planet who don’t plan on watching the game (or the commercials) today, then we’re giving you a treat with Uncle Gibby’s brave entrance into professional journalism. More likely you’ll be looking at this some time after the final gun, and you’ll either be happy, or sad, or even just indifferent, but the AVN Awards Show 2010 will still be here to entertain you. As Gibby can certainly tell you now, it’s good to know people who know people. [FEATURED TAGS: AVN Awards, Julia Ann, Tori Black, Kylie Ireland, Syren, Wendy Divine Video, Exclusive Video] |
2/3/10 | One needs to be well suited toward the adaptable in this business, and today aptly demonstrates how this can be a darned handy survival trick. We almost never follow a feature on one lady with another one of the same lady, but if that’s what seems wisest, that’s what one has to do. Consequently, Tori Black is Back (and we’d all love to hit the sack with her, come to think of it). In our own inimitable way, we’ve decided to call the entry, "Recipe for Catchin’ a Tori" — which probably shows why people don’t really line up to imitate us, if you want to know the truth. In life you have to play the cards you’re dealt, but darned if it doesn’t seem a whole lot easier play when the deck looks like this one. [FEATURED TAGS: Tori Black] |

AEE 2010 Showfloor
Roaming the AEE 2010
courtesy Maverick
In some ways the AEE 2010 provided a typical adult gathering experience. Wandering a Porn Convention can bring about quite a few feelings, not the least of which would be sensory overload. Every year we condense the experience into a few short minutes to try and ease the pain. As we all know, beautiful women can bring a lot of pain with them.
AEE 2010 — Abbreviated and Condensed.
As you’ll likely notice, we had to do some quick blur tricks in order to put even this greatly shortened clip out on the free side. It turns out that an AEE has lots and lots of adult images floating around. Go figure.
It goes without saying that the Members’ Area has no such limitations, making our presentation much easier as a matter of fact. … Yeah, we know: If it goes without saying, why did we bother saying it? … Well, we’re like that sometimes. Being surrounded by beautiful women can bring pain or confusion.

December 2009 Risque | What’s New
… With appropriate credit to Garth:
Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff
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. [FEATURED TAGS: Erotica Los Angeles, Julia Ann, Jessica Drake, Monique Alexander, Tori Black, Christy Canyon, Nicki Hunter, Kirsten Price, Kaylani Lei, Exclusive Video] |
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. [FEATURED TAGS: Taylor Hayes Video] |
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. [FEATURED TAGS: AdultStars247.com, Syren Sexton Video, Exclusive Video] |
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. [FEATURED TAGS: Tyla Wynn, Roxetta, Venus, Nicki Hunter, Michael Ninn] |
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.) [FEATURED TAGS: Jenna Haze Video, Sasha Grey Video] |
