8/30/08 | Oops. You’ve undoubtedly read somewhere about the importance of being a good example for your children, indeed for anyone around you as a practical matter. You know, “You lead much better by example than you ever will by direction” and all that. (For now let’s just forget about that whole Machiavellian philosophy and Sun Tzu, Art of War things. They’re overrated anyway.) … Well, somewhere along the line our buddy Maverick determined that our particular brand of humor must constitute the “proper” way of all web presentation. Consequently if you decide to foray further today, you’ll likely see some, um, video creation that firmly demonstrates our failure as exemplary figures. Of course Mav now thinks that every American uses “y’all” as a part of their normal conversation and all of us have alarm clocks that play “Titties ‘n’ Beer” every morning. He probably has deeper issues than some potentially cheesy artistic expression if you want to know the truth. We said, “Oops,” right?

8/29/08 | Oh, D.Minion was floating in the excited clouds today. She’s learning video editing — because creative people always get bored, basically — and she decided to start with a video scene from Essentially Juli between Taren Steele and Juli Ashton. Yeah, well … …So we had to substitute a scene featuring Taren Steele and Shayla LaVeaux (albeit on their own, so to speak) from Screen Play (not available anymore). Still if you have to pull a substitute off the bench, it’s good if you have Shayla in reserve. Everyone should.

8/24/08 | All good things come to an end, at least that’s what people who are trying to rationalize their condition after realizing that they won’t be able to enjoy something that has been really fun try to think. For us, having the Olympics on pretty much all the time in the office has been a splendid way to add a little mix to the mesh. We will miss it for the next couple of years, but we have learned about a whole lot of countries we’d never even heard of, so that’s a bonus. Also for us, assisting Maverick with his redesign has come to an end as well — which goes to show that even not necessarily all that good things come to an end too. Whew. Now we’re able to go back to the more fun adventures, this time involving our much more traditional entertainment in Kristal Summers and Dee. Everyone should have closets full of things like we do. It would make everyone a lot happier, and that whole “come to an end” part would be a very long way off. That’s always nice. [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers Video, Dee Video, Exclusive Video] |
8/22/08 | Maverick laughed at our gentle jibes yesterday, consequently we’ve decided to run his Day Two experiences from Erotica LA this year, just to demonstrate his substantially more typically human side. Nice job on the tour, Mav. You’re still a lot more Nerd than Geek when it comes to actually dealing with the beautiful women. We’re here to keep you humble. After all, if you’re friends can’t remind you of all your funny mistakes in life, what good are they?

8/21/08 | Those of us that work on the web regularly find ourselves in a peculiar form of Geekdom (for lack of a better term). Any time you’re faced with a basically endless potential for variable interpretation it can be daunting to even attempt any sort of “mastery” in your approach. True to our optimistic nature, however, we’ve learned an important secret to remember if ever you find yourself faced with any sort of depressing reality: Some people have altogether too much free time. … Enter Maverick. He’s redone his 247AdultStars.com tour, and it seems to us that he’s really just showing off. Granted he had a lot of help from us, so we don’t really mind giving our insights here. Besides, that young man owes us many, many beers. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars.com] |
8/20/08 | We’ve all heard that “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” … Uh-Huh. It must be in the Mom Handbook that this constitutes the appropriate response to a crying child’s complaint about being “copied” by someone. … We’ve all also learned that this sentiment doesn’t really help us feel better at all. In porn star terms, then, we’re strolling down a little “Lane” of intimate observation today. Or is that “Lain” ? [FEATURED TAGS: Julia Ann, Devinn Lane, Tory Lane Video, Exclusive Video, Risque News Insight] |
8/15/08 | It seems like our invitation to the big premiere party for “The Four” must have gotten lost in the mail. Dang. Consequently we decided rather to spend our entertainment dollars on Rodney Carrington, who happened to be in town. We figured out why Mr. Carrington enjoys our site (at least as much as we’re sure he would if he actually knew who we are, naturally). Early in his act he relates a story about going to church that certainly sounds like us. “My heart’s in the right place,” he says, “It’s just my mind that wanders off into the gutter.” … Now this really has nothing whatsoever to do with D.Minion’s coverage of Angel Cassidy Exposed, but it was funny. And if you know us at all, you know that this pretty much covers the minimum threshold requirements for us to talk about it. If you aim low in life, you’re rarely disappointed. Feel free to quote us. [FEATURED TAGS: Angel Cassidy, Michael Ninn, D.Minion] |
8/12/08 | We can’t help it. International sports has been a common topic of conversation around the office this week, and so we got to wondering. Don’t you think they could draw in a lot more consistent interest in gymnastics if they just took that little 4” beam and raised it up about 30 feet into the air? You could at least pull in the NASCAR and Ultimate Fighting Fans, and they drink beer. Somebody should tell Budweiser. …Well, it was just a thought. And as it turns out, a rather adventurous woman had a thought of a slightly different kind as she showed up during one of Dee’s KSEX shows and proceeded to — well, let’s call it try to make her team. While Dee was busy being au naturel, D.Minion was naturally providing visual documentation of the event. No word from the judges yet, but you members let us know. [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, D.Minion] |
8/11/08 | Oh, good grief! We turned on the Olympics each of the past two weekend mornings, and can you guess what NBC was showing? Yep. Rowing. … Worse yet, on Saturday, the UK team beat the US team, although we can’t say we were paying enough attention to determine if this happened to be some qualifying heat or some other kind. Still, what are the odds? Well, in addition to dodging phone calls from Maverick we also decided to show off something that not even one Olympic competitor can claim. Dee. Basically, Dee gets a gold medal from us any time we see her, and she doesn’t have to get sweaty to do it. It never hurts, though. [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, D.Minion] |
8/8/08 | We had to post today, because all those eights are really good luck, and we can generally use all the luck we can find. If you knew about eights being good luck, and you’re not Chinese, then odds are good you’ve been watching all the hype for the opening of the Olympic Games in Beijing tonight. In the spirit of friendly competition we thought we’d feature a couple of a different kind of athlete today, albeit in slightly less clothing. OK, actually Faith Leon and Puma Swede basically have no clothing at all, which really makes it hard to get those endorsement deals, you know. Maybe if Nike starts making high heels or something. … So in the spirit of friendly taunting (that often accompanies that friendly competition), we called Maverick to ask if the Brits even watch the Olympics or if it’s just too depressing. Mav said they often do well in “rowing” …. Uh-Huh. We often pop down to the sports bar and slug down some beers while we watch “rowing” on TV. That sure gets exciting. Don’t they have a silly name for it like skullduggery or something? Sometimes the world stage ain’t all it’s cracked up to be, and you should really just watch girl on girl porn. [FEATURED TAGS: Puma Swede Video, Faith Leon Video, Exclusive Video] |
8/2/08 | Although we’re thankfully back to the “beautiful naked woman” philosophy, somehow our beloved D.Minion has managed to work in 70’s television themes, specifically involving The Mod Squad this time around. We’ve often wondered how DM’s unusual brain actually works, and then we pretty quickly become very afraid that some day we’ll find out. … If you drink enough beer quickly after these disturbing thoughts, it can help take away the fright, by the way. You’ll do well to remember this if you ever find yourself wandering down this scary path. [FEATURED TAGS: Lala X, D.Minion] |

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff
7/31/08 | Did you ever do anything really dumb just because a good friend wanted you to? Yeah, well, this doesn’t exactly qualify as jumping off a cliff, or climbing up and painting the town water tower or anything, but we’re still putting up a story today that in good conscience we must simply encourage all of you not to read. For some undoubtedly deeply psychological reason, D.Minion has decided that we’re really all quite interested in a couple of aging domestic animals, and she has gone so far as to provide pictures (to our great shame). That said, we always make it easy for you to skip down to the bottom of an entry just by hitting the little camera icon at the top of the page, and you should definitely do that today. Once there you’ll find that we did manage to sneak in a bit of lesbian shower fun with Taren Steele and Juli Ashton — and there’s not a household pet in site. We really need to define more carefully the kind of Pets we’re interested in here. DM’s obviously quite confused. [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton Video, Taren Steele Video, Exclusive Video, D.Minion] |
7/29/08 | Maverick has taken a break for rebuilding his tour to share his views of Day One of Erotica Los Angeles. The lad likes to visit the U.S. and always has a slightly colorful perception of the trips. Of course Mav would say “colourful” — which sort of typifies the charm we think. We’ve long since tried to correct such decidedly British inflections, just so you know. We’d hate for him to get his knickers in a bunch, after all.

7/26/08 | Blatantly bowing to peer pressure today, we’re going ahead and talking about “the men in porn” — basically because the women around here won’t stop whining. That said, we’re bringing in Alex Sanders and his more than able assistant for the day, Ms. Bree Olson, from back before she was an Adam & Eve contract player, of course. Have you ever noticed that just when you start thinking you’re without peer a bunch of pesky ones start annoying you? Yeah, well, we’ve always thought humility to be an over-rated characteristic anyway. Still, we did bow to the pressure, and for your part, feel free to peer away — as it were. For our part, we’ll simply conclude with the newest male bellow in the office, which seems ironically appropriate when talking about male porn stars: Go Meat! [FEATURED TAGS: Bree Olson, Risque News Insight] |
7/20/08 | Apparently, there has been grumbling among the ranks. Allegedly the senior member of the “team” here has been absent altogether too much as of late, causing the whiners to commence with their harmony. So the senior team member chips in today (with the aid of D.Minion who ranks third on that list, by the way) just to show the whipper-snappers how one should create a proper risqué post. What’s five videos, 130+ pictures, and some 5,400 words between friends, after all. We learn a bit about “Nymphos” and we learn a bit about “Lords of Porn” and those of us in the office learn that the boss eats all the Skittles when he’s here.

7/17/08 | Sometimes even rather technically proficient people will leave a silly little sticky note on your monitor that says something innocuous like “Hey put together that audio interview that D.Minion did with Stephanie Swift at the last convention.” … And then said person pops off to something or other (that will hopefully bring us all nice raises). … Hey, we can hope. … Oh, and on that note, we’ll leave you with some memorable words from the same “sometimes rather technically proficient” person around here: Hmm. If it doesn’t work, at least we’ll always think it should have. [FEATURED TAGS: Stephanie Swift Audio, Kristal Summers Audio, Charlie Laine, Monique Alexander, Penny Flame, Exclusive Audio, D.Minion] |
7/9/08 | You’d think we’d learn. Every time we put up a “D.Minion at a convention” story we’re amazed at the amount of quirky information she manages to uncover — even when she tries to “tame” her approach. Then, naturally, as we go through the process of adding our minutiae (which sometimes turns out not to be all that “minute” if you want to be technical about it) the posts seem to take on a life of their own — typically a very weird life. … Well, you’ll be happy (or maybe sad) to know that we’ve done it again with Erotica LA, 2008. If you do nothing else in life, at least you should try to be consistent, we think. Consistently good occasionally happens as a bonus, but we always strive for that. It’s good to have a plan.

7/4/08 | So we decided to make it Kristal Summers week. Although it seems unlikely we’d get much complaint on the matter, we did have some reasoning behind the decision, just so you know. You see, we noticed that it’s the Fourth of July. And what could be more All American than a Beautiful Busty Blonde in Bed? And if you can have alliteration and celebration, you might as well quit while you’re ahead. [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers Video, Exclusive Video] |
7/1/08 | Reading a book the other day we realized that we don’t say “various and sundry” enough around here, particularly when you realize that this phrase pretty much sums up our lives. So we’re down shooting some more content and we stop for lunch. As we pull in to the lot for our favorite Valley-Local “Burger, Hot Dog, Chinese Food” joint, we notice a new bus stop bench out front advertising a “Topless Truck Wash” . Now presumably they don’t wash only topless trucks, but that’s still not overly odd. It’s LA, after all. Then we pop into a restroom inside and notice an expression of the quickly dying graffiti art written on the wall above the urinal. “Fuck the bitch, Suzie” it said, and it gave the anticipated phone number. Now other than obviously being less elegant than the traditional “For a good time” approach it didn’t really capture our attention until we read the last line reading, “Recommended by Ed.” … Don’t you just love style? Fortunately today we’re discussing neither men’s rooms nor Chinese restaurants that serve hot dogs. Instead we’ve unleashed even more “Dee on KSEX” entries, these being specifically from June 3rd and June 10th – of 2004. And we consider new entries from four years ago falling into the various and sundry category particularly well. Don’t you? [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, D.Minion] |

June 2008 Risque | What’s New
… With appropriate credit to Garth:
Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff
6/28/08 | You know, when we called Maverick yesterday to joyously tell him about the new Kristal Summers post from his trip here, he said, “Hey! Remember that I was going to announce the new Kristal videos on 247 and I made you screen grabs for Carol so you could put that part on risqué and talk about it too?” … And then we said something like, “Oh, yeah. That’s right. … Um. … BYE.” (Sometimes the Brits just don’t seem to understand the whole joyous appreciation of life thing. Have you noticed?) … So anyway we might be putting up this Kristal solo in the wrong order, but it won’t matter much in the long run. Brits may not be the most joyous folks, but Americans can flat rewrite History with the better than most anyone. [FEATURED TAGS: 247 AdultStars.com, Kristal Summers] |
6/27/08 | Well, it’s summertime for sure, and although perhaps not technically “easy” these days, it sure beats the heck out of the alternative. Besides, one of our favorite philosophies has always been, “If it were easy, anyone could do it.” … That said, Kristal Summers offers up a little proof that it’s a nice way for a white bedding, and any time you can get a solo Kristal into the same paragraph with Billy Idol and George and Ira Gershwin, well it seems like a pretty successful day all the way around to us. [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers Video, Exclusive Video] |
6/22/08 | “Titillating” seems to be a reasonable goal around here, and sometimes we even manage to accomplish that without resorting to the obvious pun references the word implies. Theoretically we set out today to allow you members to see a much more visual distinction between the “Las” Vegas Adult Convention and the “Los” Angeles Adult Convention. D.Minion provides some highlights of the former while we wait for Lon on the latter. Now the LA part this year involved trips to (count ’em) three new restaurants, though, including one rather lavish buffet, albeit perhaps not up to Las Vegas standards. We will see. Those of you that have been around awhile will know how much Lon appreciates a good meal, and will consequently understand the labor-intensiveness of his current assignment. Then, as current events have a way of doing around here, more titillation has been ensuing, and we’re helpless to avoid its pull. At the very least, we entertain ourselves. But feel free to pop along for the ride. It’s always interesting. (That’s a Chinese curse, right?) [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Stephanie Swift, Belladonna, Kylie Ireland Audio, Jessica Drake Audio, Exclusive Audio, D.Minion] |
6/18/08 | We have a “Wilde” “Trinity” (with a triptych) today. And we even lay out our insightful version of the simple “Vachs” at risqué . Sometimes it’s confusing enough just saying what it is; have you ever noticed that? It may, however, lead to simpler understanding as you go through life. Thus, you may feel free to spend the rest of the week asking, “What it is?” to everyone you meet. At the very least you’ll amuse yourselves, and if that’s not the mark of a supremely successful life, we certainly can’t think of what it might be. [FEATURED TAGS: Inari Vachs, Kylie Wilde, Trinity] |
6/15/08 | Sadly, as a result of the recent major earthquake, one of the giant pandas at the Wolong Research Center in China lost its life. As do people throughout the world the children of the land love the pandas, prompting one distraught youngster to question which fine animal passed away. “Who died, papa? Which one was it? Papa, papa, who?” … At least this was how one of the major networks here reported the news. Probably because of time constraints the network cut away before airing the father’s reply, but we’re pretty sure it went something along the lines of “Papa, papa who? Mao Mao.” (… And if you know how to pronounce the most famous leader of the People’s Republic of China to date, and know a little American popular music history, well, it won’t make that the most impressive joke you’ve ever heard, but it will help a lot with understanding it.) … Fortunately today we’re taking a video look at our old friend Cheyenne Silver, and we’re not even mentioning a thing about natural disasters anymore. Still, it’s good to remain at least somewhat aware of world events, and it is Father’s Day, so we had to at least mention dads out there. (Besides, they might know The Beach Boys in China.) [FEATURED TAGS: Cheyenne Silver Video, Exclusive Video] |
6/10/08 | Well, we have to start somewhere, so we might as well start with the artistic angle, right? Or maybe we should start with the bizarre. That’s always fun. … Or we could show off some fancy Photoshop collages too; that would be nice, as would a custom video segment showing off the general weirdness of our existence. Those are always popular. … So that’s how we started bright and early this morning, and then we figured out that we’re in LA, and we just got back from Erotica LA …. And that pretty much ties together all these things. OK. So it’s not earth-shattering logic, but we’re really a lot better after a few cups of coffee. [FEATURED TAGS: Erotica LA, Exclusive Video, Maverick] |
6/5/08 | Ah, but we love the BTS footage. We find it a wonderful way to really see not so much what movie sets are like (because even if you’ve never been on one you’ve probably seen enough clips on television to pretty much know what they’re like) but because this type of footage gives the most accurate capture of the moods of the actors and actresses at a precise moment in time. (And you’ve probably seen enough clips on television to know that those little moods are nothing if not volatile too.) As is his now tradition, Maverick has also put together some screen grabs for Carol, since she still can’t see video on the web, as most of you probably know even if you’re not a member. By our estimation, Mav’s either a very nice man, has a not-so-secret crush on Carol … or he just thinks it would be very handy to marry an American. … For today, color us cynical and entertained. [FEATURED TAGS: Lorraine Sisco, Faith Leon, Daisy Marie, Kellemarie, Nevaeh, Exclusive Video] |
6/2/08 | Oh, we’re learning a lot today. We have a functional display of the typical interaction between the Homo sapien male and female. We investigate the inherent quirkiness of cab drivers around the world. We highlight a bit of the cultural differences just the distance of one ocean can create, oh, and we talk about the weather. All in all, just consider it another day of Maverick Adventures with Isabella Kay. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars.com, Isabella Kay Video, Exclusive Video] |
