Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

5/30/08

We love summer time around here. It brings wonderful experiences each and every year. … Long days and warm evenings. Homemade ice cream. Picnics. Vacations, short and long. The return of the annual curiosity about how in the world a company ever managed to bring “Lawn Darts” to the market. … And maybe even boating, baseball, or perhaps volleyball. … For us, it always brings a treat superior even to all of these: INTERNS! … And interns are not only thrilled to be here, but they just love searching and organizing archives in the “Content Closet” that seems always a bit overflowing around the office. … And then they find stuff. … And occasionally they find a little lesbian art with Keri Windsor and Ava Vincent and a few videos documenting a – call it solo reflection – by Wendy Divine. … And what an appropriate name for this time of year, right? Slurpees for everyone!  [FEATURED TAGS: Keri Windsor, Ava Vincent, Wendy Divine Video, Exclusive Video]

You may have noticed that on rare (sort of) occasions we just can’t seem to keep ourselves from interjecting editorial comment (or caveats) into a particular situation. Well, as we sometimes do, we thought we’d take a very brief moment and offer Dear Maverick some things upon which he may wish to ruminate. … OK. Well if you want to be technical about it we’ve never actually done this before, but we might do it again, so we’re still going with “sometimes” here. We do what we have to, after all. Or else we do what seems fun. We forget. [FEATURED TAGS: Renee Perez, Exclusive Video, Maverick]

Renee Perez for the Coupon Clippers. We can't make this stuff up.
5/23/08

Oh, dear. Maverick seems to be ramping up his enthusiasm for his next trip over the Atlantic, and so he’s suddenly wrapped up his coverage of his last trip over the Atlantic. Consequently we have a whole bunch of AEE pictures, including some visual evidence that porn stars don’t always precisely follow the “rules” of a venue exactly. Don’t you just love independent women?  [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars, Adult Entertainment Expo, Daisy Marie, Nautica Thorn, Tera Wray, Calian Curtis, Jana Jordan, Renee Perez, Carmen Luvana, Lexi Love, Exclusive Video]

One of the many pretty parts of Daisy Marie.

If you want to know the truth, we’re sure we saw a Pussy Kat. Comic references aside (although that’s admittedly a little tough for us most of the time), in the process of this D.Minion Interaction, we also see Katsumi (now “Katsuni” because of some stupid law suit), Mia Smiles, Penny Flame, Monica Sweetheart, and Trinity – whom we think all still get to use their own names. Although we will also admit that we should probably care a lot more than we do, it turns out that when we see beautiful naked women performing for us, we don’t often think of their names first. We’ll work on it by continuing to look at beautiful naked women and trying to remember what we’re doing wrong. [FEATURED TAGS: Katsumi, Mia Smiles Video, Penny Flame, Monica Sweetheart, Trinity, Michael Ninn, Exclusive Video, D.Minion]

A truly excellent picture of Mia Smiles that you'll have to see bigger to appreciate. It's number 121, by the way.
5/16/08

You’ve probably heard that a little knowledge can be a very dangerous thing. Well, we don’t want to cast aspersions on someone who has to live in perpetual gloom, eat sausages full of blood, and thinks coffee is really tea (well, we might want to), but Maverick has been learning about video compression for the web. Consequently, suddenly he’s now got all kind of formats over there at 247AdultStars. Now you need to realize that he has the benefit of being able to share with us the first legitimate shower adventures of the delectable Cate Harrington, who apparently had a soiled “personal toy” because she decided it needed a shower too. Probably Mav just likes practicing with her clips a lot. We’ll tell him we understand … and to at least not eat that sausage. Bleh! [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars, Cate Harrington Video, Exclusive Video]

Cate Harrington ... Loaded for “Bare” ...
5/15/08

It’s a Double-Feature Day in D.Minion land as she lays out another new KSEX story as well as a new “Spice TV’s The Nooner” story. Now, true, both of these formerly dandy ventures have now deceased, but they remain near and dear to our hearts – particularly the parts where Dee’s naked. Unlike the concept of “Double Features” Dee being naked never goes out of style. [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, D.Minion]

Dee getting ready for her “Nooner” ... and not a soul complained.
5/12/08

Well we’ve been doing a bunch of boring code stuff that most of you well never even notice, but it does tend to make the site function better, and so that’s good. You need to do these things every once in a while. It’s not sexy, but it’s true. For his part, Maverick has been busy shooting much more along the sexy lines, as we introduce a little more of Cate Harrington today … honestly just because she’s a lot more interesting than Big Ben, if you want to know the truth. We have more of Mav’s discovery on the horizon too, but it’s never too soon to start with pretty women – that’s our philosophy around here as you’ve probably figured out.  [FEATURED TAGS: Cate Harrington, Maverick]

Cate Harrington ... and the view gets better.
5/5/08

It’s “Cinco De Mayo” which technically means “the fifth of May” but apparently it’s a reason to celebrate. Now according to D.Minion it’s sort of a Mexican Independence Day, “but it really isn’t” … and that just goes to show that former teachers can be annoyingly precise. Still, it did seem a reason to celebrate some degree of multi-cultural happiness, not that we’ve ever really needed much of a reason to do that. Actually any reason to contact Lorraine Sisco (She’s German, you know.) pretty much works for us and we’re perfectly willing to admit that. So check out what we’ve learned today (or at least what we’ve theorized at this point), and then go out and find some really good chile verde near you. Feel free to add mucho cerveza. [FEATURED TAGS: Lorraine Sisco, Faith Leon, Exclusive Video]

Lorraine Sisco gives direction to Audrey Hollander, Faith Leon, and Otto Bauer. Maybe it helped.

Did you know that England now employs Imperial Storm Troopers to assure its civil defense? And nobody there has a cell phone that they actually talk on, they just use them to send text messages? And did you know that all British women take showers with pyrex dildos instead of scrubbing brushes? … Well, you have to read between the lines a bit today to figure all that out, but we’re quite certain those are the lessons intended. How could we be wrong? [FEATURED TAGS: Cate Harrington Video, Exclusive Video, Maverick]

Cate Harrington. Consider her a really good-looking professor.
5/1/08

Mayday! Mayday! Danger Will Robinson! … Your mother may be sleeping with Dustin Hoffman! … We asked D.Minion if this was a good way to start the introduction, since she made a point of telling us that today does in fact happen to be May Day, but she said we missed the point. Dang it. We hate it when that happens. To be more direct, we suppose, we could mention that we are literally “Building to a Crescendo” today, but you would only appreciate our dazzling wit were you actually a member and thus able to read today’s entry. Let’s face it: After DM shot down our approach we basically just decided to write enough to make it seem like we’re paying attention up here. You may be sensing a theme this time around. Oh, and we do use foreshadowing a couple of times. That’s always an entertaining little literary diversion – as are Faith Leon, Audrey Hollander, Kellemarie, and Ms. Lorraine Sisco, by the way.  [FEATURED TAGS: Faith Leon, Audrey Hollander, Kellemarie, Nevaeh, Lorraine Sisco, Exclusive Video]

Neveah, Faith Leon, and Kellemarie - working toward that crescendo.

In the manner of traditional holiday pursuits, we seek to make some hollow weenies today. Being somewhat distinguished from the norm in this festive tradition, though, it may be possible that we have approached this endeavor with a somewhat unusual slant. Well … that happens. As it happens too, though, sometimes very simple tasks turn out to be the most entertaining. Ain’t life grand? [FEATURED TAGS: Audrey Hollander, Michael Ninn]

We came up with the title “Podiatric Ponderings” so it would seem logical that we would have to foot the bill. … That pretty much sums it up for today, folks. Sure, we talk about Socrates, and the nature of the XXX business, and even Zaphod Beeblebrox, but basically the philosophy pales in comparison with the tanned skins of the beautiful women present. And doesn’t that just about sum up life? [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton Video, Krisz Video, Shaena Steele Video, Exclusive Video]

As we were going through all of the completed files, those being of the type ready to put up for the world to see (well, technically not The World, per se, but at least the world of Members) we noticed that we suddenly found ourselves in the midst of a Dee crunch. We’ve been having a lot of Dee, and we worried that we might be overdoing it somewhat. Then we sat down and rested for a bit. Too much Dee? And this time with Kristal Summers?! Riiiiiight …. We just kind of play them as they lie around here, as many of you know, and that keeps us … um … markedly above par. (Don’t you hate it when a metaphor goes astray?) Let’s consider a Dancing Endeavor with Dee as we consider our metaphorical faux pas … pas’s … pass’zzzz … Well, you know … [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, Kristal Summers, D.Minion]

You know what’s worse than your team losing in the last 10 seconds? Being in such a hurry to get the post up in order to watch the game that you forget the “New Stuff” link, and THEN having your team lose in the last 10 seconds … by one point … because of a missed field goal … by one of the most accurate field goal kickers in NFL history. OK, so put a technical date of 10/25/05 on this post, because after the proper amount of grieving time, we happened to notice this little clerical error. On the upside, you could have found the post if you happened to check the “Dee” Main Page, and (as you’ve hopefully surmised) you can now check out many, many words detailing Dee, Chloe and Jezabelle Bond on a “mainstream” shoot that makes the use of mirkins look sane. Straight shoots are weird. [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, Chloe, Jezebelle Bond, D.Minion]

Dee, looking a lot of ways, but definitely not weird.
10/20/05

Our conversations about the relative nature of “Innocence” have been going on at the office for about a week. We’ve also learned a few other things that you’ll discover if you decide to read D.Minion’s 2,000+ word essay on the latest Innocence title, this being of the catchy sub-phrase, Wet. Now you may not be overly interested in philosophy, mechanical inclination, or even backgammon, but fortunately we do have Roxy Jezel, Nautica Thorn, and Hillary Scott to distract you. Oh, and we have conjugating copulation and peacocks for dessert. Bon Appétit … [FEATURED TAGS: Roxy Jezel, Nautica Thorn, Hillary Scott, Michael Ninn, D.Minion]

Groovy Computers: More Ways to Impress Porn Chicks
10/15/05

So the hectic pace around here lately has led to way too many episodes of fast food and pizza delivery. We started realizing that we were probably lacking in some important vitamins, and unless somebody recently changed the four basic food groups to be Triscuits, Beef Jerky, Skittles, and Beer, we might be missing some other things on the nutritional scale too. Then we realized that we’d been lacking Dee stories as well. Obviously we decided that concepts of “Good Health” remain clearly relative, and then we sent D.Minion out for more beer. Dee, happily, happens to be present and accounted for today, as we continue to work on our “horrible warning” goal …   =) [FEATURED TAGS: Dee Video, Monique Alexander, JJ Holly (Kirsten Price), Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn, D.Minion, Risque News Insight]

Don’t you love words to live by? “If you can’t be a good example, at least you can serve as a horrible warning.” That’s what I learned in a book I was reading recently. At then outside the Adult Video News offices I noticed a bumper sticker that highlighted a Voltaire quote, saying, “Those that can convince you of absurdities can get you to commit atrocities.” All in all it’s been a pretty deep week, it seems to me. OK. That’s pretty much it, although you can look at some pictures if you want. This would be another one of those entries where I’d skip the words if I were you. We only have so much time in the day: We should spend it carefully. Oooooh … we are deep today.

This is a picture of Sunny Lane in the foreground and Justine Joli being quirky in the background. Unfortunately, this is not a day for Justine Joli, other than in this particular photograph (which gets bigger inside, fortunately). On the upside, we do have a lot of Innocence under discussion today, and we use lots of visual aids to accomplish the goal. Basically, it makes for a “Sunny” outlook. [FEATURED TAGS: Sunny Lane, Audrey Hollander, Bobbie Blair, Jordan Fleiss, Avena Lee, Michael Ninn, D.Minion]

Aw ... look at the Sunny Shine ...

Here’s the story of some lovely ladies … but they about as far from “Brady” as one can get while still being Homo sapien, probably. You can, though, learn about some Ancient Egyptian “herstory” and some interesting local practices near Anais’ home town. It really might be best to just look at the 150 pictures, come to think of it. Who needs morals to a story these days anyway? [FEATURED TAGS: Anais, Michael Ninn]

Anais ... Anais Alexander ... whatever, she's still beautiful.
10/5/05

Today might be a special day, or it might not be. Today might be a special day for someone whose name we can’t tell you, but it might rhyme with “truli” … er … “truly” …. And we might be in trouble for mentioning it, but we might not be too, and that’s always been worth the risk for us. Always remember that’s it’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission. (Damn, but she’s pretty, isn’t she? … Sucking up doesn’t hurt anything either.) [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton, Exclusive Video]

A rose by any other name is still not as good as whoever this might be.

Here’s something that seems like good advice: “Let us not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments.

Of course, it assumes you understand both the literal definition of impediments as well as the psychological concept of true minds. This could be a problem. Gosh.

Instead of really icky educational stuff we’re thinking that Angel Cassidy Exposing herself might be a fine diversion. We’ve read some captivating things in our time, and we’re pretty sure that none of this even gets to be in the (admittedly subjective) category of beautiful women naked. You know, that just might be the trouble with too narrow a definition of educational, come to think of it. [FEATURED TAGS: Angel Cassidy, Anais, Michael Ninn]

Angels are confusing, aren't they?

You know, occasionally our old buddy Bert comes up with some great ideas. His poetic review of Ninn Worx’ Fem: Diva inspired this week’s “Weekend” — displacing D.Minion’s “favorite” Olivia Del Rio, in fact. We’re pretty sure Bert can make this up to DM with copious beers at the Members’ Party in a couple of weeks, and we’re also pretty sure the rest of the members will thank Bert. Look at it this way: You’ll get to see Olivia eventually, and Anais is truly a feast for the eyes (and possibly some other stuff). In the words of the man, “It serves as a sanctum where intimate desires are explored and shared pleasurably with unbridled passion.” Wow … [FEATURED TAGS: Anais, Dee, Jassie, Olivia Del Rio, Jessie V., Teanna Kai, Devon Michaels, Nautica Thorn, Ramona Luv, Michael Ninn]

On a day when, accompanied by Anais, Dee did her first radio interview as an official “Risqué Client” (obviously talking about the upcoming party), we’re giving you what we consider to be perhaps the best set of behind-the-scenes pictures D.Minion has ever shot. This set also includes, among its 134 members, the very best photograph of life on a porn set we’ve ever seen. You can read about Dee being Mama Bear at Mamacitas, and then you can go check out our friends at Video Team that allowed us to be on set. They’re very nice folks over there, and they have fun and interesting movies. We like them.

We have sort of a Ninn Worx Weekend today, as we met our topic of conversation on a Ninn Worx set, but these are not technically Ninn Worx pictures. Still, we’re not above using the thinest of excuses to show off a new pretty naked girl (who became Cytherea), and we’ve got an exceptional one today. All in all, it might be the beginning of something new, and that’s rarely a bad thing. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea, Michael Ninn]

Most of you probably know that Juli Ashton doesn’t really fit the typical “Porno Girl” mold; Juli’s actually very bright (as are several other performers as a matter of fact), and so when she called in the other day with a quote that she’d read and wanted to share with us, we listened. If you’ve been a member for very long, you know that we tend to be fairly optimistic around here, and pretty much live with the philosophy of “playing the cards you’re dealt.” Juli’s quote, however, says that ever-so-much more eloquently: “Of all the things that might have happened, only one of them actually did.” Cool, huh? While you’re ruminating on the ramifications of this philosophy, you might check out Night Calls, August 13, 2003 and check out the girl that can put both legs behind her head at the same time. Also cool … [FEATURED TAGS: Night Calls, Juli Ashton, Tiffany Granath, Nicole Oring, Holly Hollywooe, D.Minion, Risque News Insight]

Honesty would actually prevent us from claiming that ALL of the Risqué clients over the years have turned out to be far along on the “human sanity” scale, but, hey, retrospect is for whiners anyway. So on a day when we received a phone call to tell us of the supposed lengthy incarceration ahead for one former client, we happen upon a little story from May of 2001 that focuses on a different one. However, while we’ll confess to not always picking the most rational, or even ethical, of clients EVERY time, we can say one thing with complete candor: Some may turn out to be wacky, but darned if they aren’t all beautiful. We’re glad we ran across this, and we hope you enjoy it too. It’s a wonder we can find anything at all around here sometimes. Then again, I lose my shoes at least once a day. I wonder what that means … (It means you should stop reading and start looking at pictures.) [FEATURED TAGS: Devinn Lane, Serenity, Stephanie Swift, Sydnee Steele, D.Minion]

We’re giving D.Minion a time to vent today, as she recounts her supreme sense of violation by the recent burglary of our humble offices. At least she managed to keep her amazing sense of photographic composition as she chronicled the event, so that’s interesting. However, given our keen understanding of human nature, we’re thinking this may not actually interest a great many of you, so we’re also giving you 25 rather fetching pictures of Sunset Thomas naked, courtesy of our friends at VCA. You can read, or you can look, or you can read and then look. But remember this: Somewhere out there is a member for whom these pictures of Sunset may spawn a wide variety of emotions … [FEATURED TAGS: Sunset Thomas]

This week’s Ninn Worx Weekend highlights a new series for the blossoming company called Pop. Apparently there are women out there that simply don’t like giving head, but we don’t actually know any of them, and we’re quite satisfied with our circle of acquaintances on this “front,” as it were. The initial episode of Pop — featuring our own Anais and Georgia Adair, only with 18 other lovely lasses — begins what we’re thinking will be a wonderful addition to the Ninn Worx line. Our task over the next few weeks will be to create video clips for the members, so that they might be able to more accurately form their own opinions on the explosive subject. We’re all about scientific curiosity around here … [FEATURED TAGS: Anais, Wanda Curtis, Georgia Adair, Dee, Olivia Del Rio, Faith Grant, Nikita Denise, Nikki Blond, Michelle Michaels, Shayla LaVeaux, Vanessa Virgin, Sylvia Broone, Mandy Bright, Aurora Snow, Alexis Amore, Ashley Long, Nicole Sheridan, Chloe Dior, Mia Smiles, Veronika, Michael Ninn]

She meanders in the conversation; she forgets that her camera actually has a verticle option (not that anyone out there would notice); she even makes up words. Apparently even the “insiders” that live and work in the XXX world can get a little flustered when the naked reality hits home, as it were. Consider today this potential, as Dee Deftly Dazzles D.Minion. Hmm. Speaking of the XXX world … [FEATURED TAGS: Dee Video, Exclusive Video, D.Minion]

At a time when all of the sudden there are hundreds of people that feel themselves qualified to not only lead the state of California, but to dig it out of potential monumental disaster, we’re pausing here to look at a more “microeconomic” view of the state of the state. We thought you might be interested in looking at Anais’ first couple of days on the job, and learning about the derivation of her name. Hey, we figure anything’s a welcome distraction from hearing more about “The Governator.” (We didn’t even make that up: It was an actual headline on one of the two major Los Angeles newspapers a couple of days ago.)

You know, we’ve discovered over the past few months that there’s very little in life that’s as “becoming” as our own Georgia Adair. Hasn’t fate smiled on her, then, when her first XXX release came out with the title Becoming Georgia Adair?

Today we’re all about the power of The Men in the business, sort of. It’s possible we’re about how little power “The Men” actually have, maybe. Turns out there’s something just a little more central to the “essence” of your basic XXX feature. Turns out Shayla LaVeaux learned that somewhere along the way. Maybe that’s why everybody loves Shayla, and the rest of us continue with our “Best Laid Plans of Might and Men.” [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux, Risque News Insight]

You hear a lot of things about being “proactive” rather than “reactive.” And we pretty much know by now that being “radioactive” is a bad thing, at least for people.
