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] |

January 2008 Risque | What’s New
… With appropriate credit to Garth:
Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff
1/31/08 | Somehow we got all serious today, at least for a good part of D.Minion’s industry report. Still a great deal more than "fun and games" goes along with being in the XXX Industry (and a good many fewer orgies than people think if you want to know the truth). It doesn’t hurt any of us to at least consider some of the Bigger Pictures every once in awhile – particularly when you can just click the little camera icon at the top of the page and skip to the "smaller" pictures – happily involving gratuitous nudity. We have a t-shirt pinned to the bulletin board in the office that says, "Everyone should believe in something. I believe I’ll have another beer." … Insightful perhaps. [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, Alana Evans, D.Minion] |
1/27/08 | We said all of that last post so we can tell you all of this today. Per a significant number of (at least potentially misguided) requests, we’re trying a brand new approach to Dee-Land this time around. We’ll let you know if it works and people are happy, obviously. And if you think about it, if you have Dee as Preface, Content, and Conclusion, how bad can it be really? [FEATURED TAGS: Dee Cam Show, Exclusive Video] |
1/25/08 | Apparently we’ve been slacking off on bringing Dee’s KSEX Index up to date with all of the missing days from her tenure there. And apparently some people have noticed, because we’re getting emails about this oversight. … Well, coincidentally we were working on a rather large NEW approach to Dee’s Diary and decided to fill in for a brief bit here with some of those requested posts. For what it’s worth, we’ve long been of the opinion that there’s no such thing as too much Dee – particularly if Dee happens to be naked. She’s wonderful otherwise too, but naked saves on laundry. And we care about the environment — particularly around the office. [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, D.Minion] |
1/23/08 | We suppose we had to start somewhere in our daunting task of covering this year’s Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas. Consequently a "Best of" stills collection from Maverick, along with his "Convention Floor" video contribution seemed a nice, gentle way to begin. He’s also provided some of the "autographs" that he collected, which presumably (and hopefully) he’ll explain a bit more when he launches the 247AdultStars.com site within the risqué family. Last we heard he was "working frantically" on that task, but one can never really be sure what "frantic" means in the UK we’ve learned over the years. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Exclusive Video, Maverick] |
1/20/08 | Upon the internal review of today’s contribution we actually had an unusual bit of disagreement among a couple of the troops. D.Minion wanted an explanation "elaboration" while Maverick held firm in the opinion that, "Hey. It’s just another story in the life of risqué." … As for what we all eventually decided, well, we can’t really get into that here. There are a couple of football games going on today, and we plan on grilling out and thanking our stars that we live in Southern California and not in either Boston or Green Bay. Brrrr. [FEATURED TAGS: Sasha Grey] |
1/16/08 | Well we survived again and we’re all back and kicking. OK. So most of us are not kicking like the Rockettes exactly, more like Charlie Brown if you want to know the truth. Still, we managed yet another round of kissing, hugging, over-eating, and laughing amidst enough exposed flesh to cause sensory overload – even without the whole "being in Las Vegas" part. As is our custom – and since we’re very old it’s perfectly acceptable to have a "custom" by the way – we’re not going to simply bury you with everything at once. Over some time you’ll get a true feeling of at least our perspective on The State of The Industry, but we need to start somewhere …. So we decided to start later and today show you a truly ambitious scene from Couch Tomato Isabella instead. Hey, the last thing you want to do after taking 10,000 photos and 100 hours of video footage is actually look at it. [FEATURED TAGS: Isabella Video, Exclusive Video, Maverick] |
1/8/08 | As a technical matter we’re putting up tomorrow’s post today, since tomorrow we leave for Las Vegas for a week to attend the Adult Entertainment Expo (and the Consumer Electronics Show). Of course, when we actually leave it will be today, even though this will have gone up yesterday. Still, it’s a lot better than putting up today for day before yesterday, or even last week, as sometimes happens depending upon the goings on around these parts. If you think about it, why would we put off until tomorrow what we can do today anyway? And yesterday all our troubles seemed so far away – at least the way we remember it from years ago. … Oh, it’s Day Two on the set of Sophia with D.Minion’s usual bizarre observations and many, many pictures, by the way. But that seems sort of beside the point now, considering all of this. … Maybe it’s best if we stop thinking now. [FEATURED TAGS: Sophia Lynn, Renna Ryann, Moxxie Maddron, Sabrina Rose, D.Minion] |
1/5/08 | Well, we have to confess that somehow D.Minion snuck in some more pictures of ladders, in additon to a shot she swears is snow falling in Las Vegas. (You can decide on that one.) But she also managed to shoot over 200 pictures of scantily-clad women as she finished up AEE 2007 for your scientific analysis. Of course she also captured Kristal Summers in basically no clothing for an impromptu hotel room dalliance, so that’s always good. Basically, it’s always good to see how people change (or don’t) after a mere year in the business. We’ve always said that it’s an odd planet that we live on, this one called the XXX Business in Los Angeles.

1/1/08 | It’s a rebirth! It’s a revision! It’s a revolutionary enterprise! … Or else it’s a moderately interesting new approach. … We always get those confused. We do know it’s a New Year, and we’re going forward with our usual philosophy: How bad can it be? [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Exclusive Video, D.Minion] |
June 2007 Risque | What’s New
… With appropriate credit to Garth:
Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff
6/30/07 | It may seem hard to believe, but we always read and (mostly) listen to the member emails that come in. Now we can’t say we always follow the “advice” since some of the “suggestions” seem to be physically impossible, but some of them are actually nice, and those we tend to pay attention to. We also like giving friends a semi-public chance to “vent” when life has given them lemons … or marshmellow bunnies, or something … and so we’re able to accomplish two goals very early in the process today. We get to see a lot of “Dee Behind the Scenes” changing clothes and generally being adorable and we get to learn some history that involves many, many naked women. All in all, with this much accomplished before nine o’clock in the morning, we’d better go spend some quality time with the dogs. Y’all have a good time, and feel free to eat some chocolate waffles this weekend. Live a litte. [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, Georgia Video, Justine Joli Video, Michael Ninn, D.Minion, Risque News Insight] |
6/26/07 | Details remain sketchy at this point, but it appears that D.Minion and Lon had a meaningful experience with Julia Ann over the weekend – which happened to include the use of a bed. We decided that while we’re uncovering (as it were) more details, today might just be a good day to recount some Julia Ann experiences with our old friend Inari Vachs. Apparently Julia Ann has developed some experience dealing with Naughty Amateurs – which would undoubtedly include both Lon and D.Minion, by the way. [FEATURED TAGS: Julia Ann, Inari Vachs, D.Minion, Risque News Insight] |
6/17/07 | We’re off to a geek convention so that we might learn new and improved ways to be confused in our everyday efforts, and then we’re staying down for the Erotica LA Convention next Weekend. Now as we understand it, one should make a practice of being kind to strangers, and so that’s what we’re doing in this particular mega-venture to entertain you in our absence. While Maverick doesn’t qualify as someone we don’t know obviously, we can assure you with absolute certainty that he is indeed stranger than most people you’ll ever meet. Lamenting his failure to arrange a visit to correspond with our upcoming parade with porn stars, he … let’s say, unhappily … pointed out that we never made time to publish his … let’s say unique … adventures at the AEE last January. So we’ve made the (considerable) effort to do that. Without providing too much editorial comment at this early juncture, let us just point out that you could read 1,000 words and look at 100 pictures on each of the seven days covering our little trip here, and you’d still have four more pictures to go – along with Heaven knows how many words. Culture is a curious thing; add it to the XXX world, and you’ve got an interesting animal to say the least.

6/14/07 | You know what’s good about Mia Smiles? Well, darned near everything if you want to know the truth. So when Mia stepped in as wardrobe mistress, and cell phone aficionado, and talent to work with Katsumi, we decided we’d hang out and see if anything interesting happened. It seemed to oddly enough. Go figure. We love that about life. [FEATURED TAGS: Katsumi, Mia Smiles, Trinity, Monica Sweetheart, Penny Flame, Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn, D.Minion] |
6/9/07 | We’re reveling in technology today, which fortunately we’re making with a great deal of Juli Ashton and even more gratuitous nudity. And if you think about it, any day where you can say that seems like a pretty good day all the way around. Consider it technically Juli as a Diva and effectively as Juli just being dazzling. It’s good in life not to overcomplicate. [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton Video, Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn] |
6/6/07 | In keeping with our basically weird existence we have a special report today that’s a “Lala” shoot that doesn’t actually happen in LA. We know: It sounds confusing. And if you think that’s bad, just wait until you get to the European Geography part. Uh-Huh. Now we’ve said this before, but you really might consider just skipping to the 100+ pictures of the beautiful naked woman. Either that, or you’re gonna need a map, and you really have to be careful about paper cuts … at least on some parts of your person … that may be rather exposed while you’re looking … or maybe not. We’ll just move along now. [FEATURED TAGS: Lala X, Maverick] |
6/2/07 | Favorite shirt we saw at the rodeo this weekend: “Sure beer has no food value but food has no beer value either.” … OK. We didn’t really go to the rodeo this weekend, but there’s one in town and this guy wearing a cowboy hat had that shirt on, so we figure it’s a fair assumption that the shirt ended up at the rodeo too. We make leaps of faith like that, and you’ll likely notice a few more of them as we conclude Becoming Georgia Adair: Self Portrait with Day Two of D.Minion’s traditional epic. Be warned: There was a kitty cat on set and if you’ve been a member for awhile, you know what that means. [FEATURED TAGS: Georgia Adair, Sharon Wild, Michael Ninn, D.Minion, Risque News Insight] |
