Maverick has won the intra-office race to post the debut report on Erotica LA this year, or at least the opening volley. Our posting queue still seems to be surviving in a bit of a content food processor, though, so as a favor to some of the people working diligently on this side of “the pond” we have created a special page with a not-so-subtle hint as to what’s in store for mid-summer meditation around here. As for Mav, there seems to be a rather prominent theme surrounding British Baked Beans amidst the bevy of porn performers, probably proving once and for all that we’re potentially a bad influence.

Lexi Love ... and Her Beans

Part of the interest in the adult entertainment world comes from the way that even though it can get a bit plodding, just like any job, every once in awhile things just come up in this world, and you have to make adjustments to your original plan. Even forgetting that whole “Man plans. God laughs.” philosophy for the moment, sometimes you really do get a chance to do something just a little different, and so you put whatever plan you used to have on hold for a minute. When such diversions involve Tori Welles, Ginger Lynn, and Christy Canyon, well, that brings up a whole other range of unique aspects to the XXX life. For centuries the prevailing intellectual theory seems to have been that history repeats itself, what with there being “no new things under the sun … yada, yada, yada” — although we will admit that intellectual theory sometimes resembles a lot more the latter than the former. That said, retrospect can provide both joy and education. Handy, that. [FEATURED TAGS: Tori Welles, Ginger Lynn, Christy Canyon, Exclusive Video, Risque News Insight]

How long has it been since we’ve had a leader that seems to have some actual grasp of real world knowledge? Now we’d be among the (potentially few) that would say that any successful politician must possess a level of intelligence, but we feel obligated to point out that a substantial chasm separates “smart” from “quick” on the mental scale. Those of you that were able to see President Obama’s press conference today got a chance to see one individual with both cerebral characteristics, and gosh but that’s fun. … Fortunately for all of you, we’ll leave the analysis to the plethora of newscasters that assume we all need the guidance and open instead our coverage of the just completed Erotica Los Angeles convention with our traditional “Two Days in Two Minutes” video presentation, along with a very few editorial ruminations. … All in all, even really, really smart people sometimes aren’t as interesting as a vast collection of scantily-clad women. Go figure. [FEATURED TAGS: Erotica LA, Exclusive Video, Maverick]

Those subscribing to the promising new talent philosophy espoused by Lon recently will appreciate today’s efforts as we throw in a little video evidence of Kayden Kross. Having thus illuminated Lon’s seemingly well-placed fascination with the new lass, we will release you to your own rumination requirements. Even if they’re not your own life’s lemons, it seems, one can enjoy lemonade in the summer time. [FEATURED TAGS: Kayden Kross Video, Exclusive Video]

Dallying among the allegedly demimonde, we were, and having a darned good time of it, actually. While we’re busy collecting our various thoughts and illustrations on last weekend’s porn convention, we thought we’d take the opportunity to get one step closer on Dee’s KSEX anthology. It may seem that we approach certain topics with a bit of a plodding nature at times, but can assure you that should you ever need to plod in your life, doing so with naked pictures of Dee can really help make the enterprise more enjoyable.

Depending on what day you happen to be reading this, you may feel as though you’re in a bit of a time warp. As you’ve learned if you’ve been around a couple of weeks here, we’re all off in Los Angeles commingling with various porn performers at Erotica LA right now. However, since our historic attempts at setting updates to “automatically” create themselves have generally sucked, we just decided to go ahead and put your weekend entertainment online before we actually left. … So if it happens to be before the thirteenth of the month when you’re reading this, you’re not crazy. … Sadly, we can’t exactly claim the same mental status for D.Minion as we’ve had to actually split up one day on set with Night Moods into multiple entries, just to give people a reasonable chance to work through it all. Sanity, it seems, remains relative. Welcome to our world. [FEATURED TAGS: Night Moods Productions, Kylie Ireland Video, Capri Anderson, Dana Vespoli, Exclusive Video, D.Minion]

Before Maverick set out for his next bit of travel to sunny Southern California he felt it important to polish a bit of 247AdultStars so that it would gleam in his absence as well. He decided that adding a “Dirty Bedroom Solo” of Cate Harrington would be quite the appropriate way to decorate this time around, and having seen the video clips, we really would find it difficult to disagree. In a manner of attempting a truly symbiotic assessment here, odds are pretty good that this particular polish may have several people polishing various body parts of a decidedly more personal interest. It beats the heck out of a great many alternatives, though, right? [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars, Cate Harrington Video, Exclusive Video]

Lon finishes up today with a wall of undulating vaginas. Now the reality of the situation probably didn’t turn out exactly as it sounds, but the description will make Lon happy, and isn’t that the point of life, really? Technically he’s finishing up his Adult Entertainment Expo story before he gets to Los Angeles to begin his Erotica Los Angeles story, but thinking of undulating vaginas simply sounds a lot more interesting. We plan on directing Lon to ask each star he meets at the LA convention about the state of undulation in their respective vaginas, come to think of it. We’ll let you know if anybody slaps him. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Exclusive Audio, Exclusive Video, Lon]

Somebody asked an interesting question yesterday, and we thought you might be able to help us with the answer. When Sting retires, will he become Stung? … Now Lon does not address this issue in his Part One coverage of the AEE this year, but seeing as how we’re all getting ready to head out to the next convention, we figured we should at least try to wrap up the last convention before we get hopelessly behind. We wouldn’t want these convention stories to pile up like we’ve got Dee at KSEX stories, after all. Of course no sane person could consider Dee’s behind “hopeless” by any means, but you get the picture(s) — and some fun ones here today too.

For the first time in a while, we’ve got something to say that doesn’t take the better part of a week just to get through. We’ve got interesting insights, cunning contests, tattoos, and other titillation. And it doesn’t break the memory bank, as some people around here forget can happen. We call it “Porn Tats and Other Tales” and we don’t even need to spend any more time introducing it.

The team has been working overtime doing another of those “Uh-Oh, D.Minion’s on set all day with women she likes” kinds of posts. If you’ve been around a while, you know what that means — pages and pages of story, 330 some odd photographs, and a collection of DM’s unusual videos. Still, it’s Paola Rey, Marie Luv, Jasmine Byrne … and some males. (They’re props. We don’t pay much attention to them.) We figure you might need the weekend to work your way through this one. Start with some coffee … and if it goes on long enough, switch to beer. Beautiful women and fermented beverages. God Bless America.

Appropriate Refreshments for a Porn Set
5/25/09

We’ve been shooting like crazy around here, putting new deals together, and generally playing with porn stars. Well Maverick’s got a clever and expanding section over in 247AdultStars that we just felt like we needed to draw some attention to. After all, who doesn’t like breasts? If you don’t like breasts, you should just skip this one. You might think about contacting a medical professional too. You’re not well.

Most porn companies probably don’t send out memos something to the effect of, “Can you remember the name of a poet who just strung together nonsensical strings of words without even the pretense of sentences?” And then again, most porn companies would not then have received guesses from across the world as to the elusive name of the author. As for the fellow presumably in charge, he couldn’t remember either, but seemed to reject the most popular choices of Lewis Carroll (Jabberwocky) and Geoffrey Chaucer (although pretty much everything written that long ago sounds peculiar). On the upside, at least we were able to explain how Capri Anderson and our continued dedication toward new technological skills tied in to this seemingly obscure question, so that was a bonus. As you’ll hear clearly for yourselves, should you peruse this post, of course, Capri does state clearly that she “was a Go-Go Dancer for Opium” … although we should probably mention that she may [does] mean a night club in Miami. Holding the bizarre local record, “Steve” responded that he didn’t have time to think about this question because he needed to build a chicken coop. Fearless Leader pretty much just got distracted by that concept and all that it could portend as he wandered away. Never underestimate the job security inherent in bewildering the bosses.

A really bad pun may not surprise you if you have much experience around here at all, but if it makes the anticipation less tense, even real groaners are pretty easy to ignore when you have Cheyenne Silver around to distract you. Now technically, we suppose, we should at least mention that today’s written diversion actually takes place in the life of Dee, but we’ll explain all of that inside. To put it as succinctly and keenly as possible: It’s complicated. [FEATURED TAGS: The Nooner, Dee, Cheyenne Silver, D.Minion]

Goodness gracious we have Lively Feminine Quirkiness on tap today, courtesy of Steve. (We should note that for years and years he has been “SteveD” on the site, since for years we had a “SteveH” here too. SteveH has now been gone for years and years now, and at the AEE 2009 convention SteveD officially requested that he be “just Steve” from now on. We suggested that he might sorry should newer members start confusing him with SteveH in some of the older stories herein, but then we realized that we learned to be kind to our elders, so now he’s Officially Just Steve. … To tell you the truth, we don’t have that many elders left, so it did seem appropriate.

After all these years of publishing on the web, you’d think we’d run out of different ways to handle the articles. Of course we don’t usually have Kylie submit 6,000+ words either, so we decided to conclude her Relative Violation account with the input of a second editor. Now while that may not be completely apparent to the novice member here, we can assure that this event raised more than a few eyebrows here at the office. Of course even if you do notice the switch, you can always just pretend you didn’t. Feigned ignorance seems to be a common strategy in life.

You’ll find it quite important to celebrate Cinco de Mayo today, not because you really believe that it’s the actual Mexican Independence Day (which it’s not), or because you think our old friend Lola is Mexican (which she is not), or even because you think all pithy Redneck insights stem from individual dances with a bottle of tequila (which they might, actually). You will want to celebrate because … why not? And if you’d just use that philosophy for other times in your life, like for days that end in “y” or something, you’d probably be a lot happier. So there you have it.  [FEATURED TAGS: Lola Video, Exclusive Video]

Let’s say that concepts such as “feral kitty” and “harmlessly disturbing” might pique your interest. How about the sentence, “So there I am on the bathroom floor, scarfing down a banana as I rinse out my ass …” ? How about “carbonated urine allure” ? Well, you’re in for a treat today, as Kylie Ireland drops by with a special report on Violation a category into which none of the aforementioned concepts even fall, strangely enough. Forget “The Good Life” . Shoot for the Weird One. … You can also begin an exclusive (and atypically long) interview between D.Minion and Kylie that pretty much reinforces the Weird One concept all the way around, if you want to know the truth.  [FEATURED TAGS: Kylie Ireland Audio, Exclusive Audio, Shayla LaVeaux, Dee, Phaedra Alexis, Keri Windsor, D.Minion]

Well, we did warn you that the 2009 Adult Entertainment Expo reports were about upon us, so at least we’re not hitting you completely out of the blue here. That said, Uncle Gibby has thoughtfully begun to burst the dam with only a trickle from Day One today. He had grander plans, truth be told, but as it turns out creating projects for your friends and creating projects for web publication happen to be completely different animals. As does our old buddy Georgia Adair, though, Gibby does hail from the often bitterly cold state of Wisconsin, and we can tell you that the “frozen brain” syndrome at least comes up in the conversation when you’re enquiring about rationale, née excuse, in these sorts of situations. Still, he has a fine sense of adventure (or else he would have run from the rest of us screaming in terror, like most sane people do) and he has an excellent serendipitous flair when it comes to providing opportunity for a dazzling intermission. After seeing his words in print here, you should know, odds are good that Gibby will then set about wondering why he couldn’t accidentally get this beautiful women in his home instead of finding himself watching her from it. Yeah, we’ve all felt that on occasion around here; we consider it just one of the oddities of porn life. Cheer up, Gibby. It could be worse: You could live in London.

A person can say a lot of things about people that order milk in Las Vegas casino bars, and we’ve said both of the nice ones today. Providing both a Cliffs Notes version and a caveat with regards to impending AEE coverage around here, we also offer some unique audio interviews from the show floor. Hopefully Shayla LaVeaux, Jenna Haze, Sunset Thomas, Monique Alexander, Jessica Drake, and Lexi Love can help us all quit thinking about milk — at least in some forms.

Basically ’tis a story of a Message Board gone awry today, but we do have Heather Vandeven (Vuur) being a distraction from the deep sense of gloom and despair. Also, we have Dee, Inari Vachs, and a bit of Devinn Lane playing the part of Young Louvres. … We’re still crazy here, in case you were wondering.

Heather, not quite as distracting here as she ends up inside.

So … “The cows were jumping out of the barn.” Or maybe “It is a tale … full of sound and fury; signifying nothing.” Or maybe if we keep saying the word TRILLION enough, pretty soon it won’t seem like such a big number. Or maybe we should just help Maverick celebrate the birthday of 247AdultStars, and try not to think about anything except pretty girls. … Yeah. Let’s go with that.

For some reason Friday The Thirteenth seems to be a festive day for our illustrious leader here at risqué. That could, of course, be due to the rather unusual name that his hippie parents anointed him with, or it could be because we find ourselves once again discussing life on a lesbian porn set. Whatever the case, it does make for a dandy day, ancient superstitions aside. Since we also have a reputation for honesty around here, we should probably also point out that our leader could perhaps be more illustrative than illustrious, though. Still, with enough beautiful naked women in the mix, who really cares?  [FEATURED TAGS: Renee Perez, Charlie Laine, Celeste Star, Sabrina Rose, D.Minion]

Don’t you love it when really famous people say really stupid things? This morning on NBC a quite well-known chap actually said, “You show me a man, and I’ll show you someone that likes cross-dressing.” Now we don’t claim to speak for every man in the world here, but we’re thinking this dude really might need to spend some time outside of the theater district in New York City. … Call it a hunch. While he’s figuring that out, and undoubtedly answering all the similarly-suggestive emails he’ll certainly receive, we decided to Debut Tenaya for the members today. We’ll obviously explain more inside, but let’s just say that we’re confident in our belief that more men will enjoy meeting Tenaya than enjoy wearing high heel shoes — and probably more women too, come to think of it. [FEATURED TAGS: Tenaya]

Consider today a public service announcement on “Acceptable Hazing” methods if you will. Of course since we’re talking about Maverick’s jet-lagged haze as he prepared for the Adult Entertainment Expo this year, and we’re essentially using Jenna Haze in some admirable illustrative enterprises, some people in “The Public” might not find this announcement all that helpful (or appropriate if you want to know the truth). Basically, though, we’ve learned to ignore those people. They’re depressing. [FEATURED TAGS: Jenna Haze Video, Michael Ninn, Exclusive Video]

We have a new writer debuting today, one Mr. “Al K. Purria” — which apparently translates to some tasty Puerto Rican dish if you know how to speak Spanish. Since he did happen to be covering his newbie view of the Las Vegas Show this year, we suggested that a more appropriate pseudonym might be “Al K. Holl” … but apparently some Puerto Rican people don’t know what’s funny. Más cerveza, por favor. ¿Dónde está el baño? [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, AVN Awards Show]

So Day One with DM concludes today as we "coitus continuus and culminatus" — which probably isn’t proper Latin if you want to know the truth. (Yeah, we know: You’re shocked.)

You don’t often get a chance to look Behind-The-Scenes in our fundamentally Behind-The-Scenes approach on risque.com. We decided, though, that it would be worth the effort if we gave you such an opportunity today. Of course, a more in-depth (as it were) look at Kristal Summers as she began her learning curve on our first risqué chat sessions can pretty much justify a great deal of effort. And considering how miserable "work" happens to be for most people today, assuming they still have a place to actually go to work, spending an inordinate amount of time working with Kristal naked somehow doesn’t seem like much of a chore.  [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers]

Oddly enough, we find ourselves guilty of coitus interruptus today, which doesn’t often happen considering our line of work. That said, given the fact that we left D.Minion pretty much alone for an entire week, we probably should have anticipated that her next On-The-Set piece would end up another in the list of her occasional "epic" productions. Consequently, you’re seeing a first-ever, "Day 1A" version of another Lesson in the Life of D.Minion. … Of course we could be wrong about that "first-ever" part, as we’ve been doing this so long that we occasionally forget when we’ve done something before. Actually, come to think of it, one of the oddest things about us might be that we regularly forget how odd we are.

Because we have a half-dozen stories about the AEE in the queue, Maverick felt it appropriate to submit a story about Erotica 2008 in London. Seriously, most of us here hold the opinion that all that rain over there seeps into the brain after enough exposure. On the other hand, Maverick could just be bragging that performers in London can be topless at their conventions, which we’ll grudgingly admit does give England one up on us in this specific instance. We’re still winning, though. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars.com]

So almost all of us, on this inauguration day, are doing our darndest to honestly believe, "Yes. We. Can." … And, of course, St. Louis Rams fans are trying to come to grips with the fact that the quarterback they dumped for being too old has taken a different team to the Super Bowl this year. Thus we felt obligated to at least mention recent NFL news, and then completely ignore political current events. (Because that’s how we are.) We do have some atypical views of the recent AEE show decorations, and some perhaps not atypical exactly, but certainly entertaining, adult video activity. While the rest of you are enjoying these options, we will offer a bit of solace to the Rams fans out there: Come next April, you’ll get a lot better draft choice than those poor folks employing Mr. Warner.

Channeling Sylvester the Cat and Daffy Duck seems a bit odd, even for us, but somehow that accurately describes how we begin today.

And if you think about it, that’s pretty much the point of life, isn’t it, even if you do happen to be a bit Looney Tunes? [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Shayla LaVeaux]

Magical thoughts directed at D.Minion
1/12/09

As many of you probably know already, D.Minion chose to lie around eating bon-bons while watching old Beverly Hillbillies episodes while the rest of us headed off to Las Vegas for days and days of grueling exchanges with scantily-clad porn stars. (Alright, that’s not really the reason DM didn’t go with us this year, but it made for a dandy visual, didn’t it?) … Well, we happened to run in to our old friend Vicca in a casino while we were there, and it seemed a fine opportunity to call up Ms. Minion and say something subtle like, "Hey, do you think you might be able to pull some archived Vicca content we haven’t used while you’re busy letting your nails dry?" (Alright (again), while we did actually say that, we remain too stunned by DM’s response to repeat it here.) … D.Minion did uncover some wonderful new photo sets for everyone though, and, just for the record, we’re pretty sure some of those suggestions she had do in fact constitute biological impossibilities, no matter how colorful the descriptions. By the way, we did ask Vicca if she wanted to go to the convention and attend the AVN Awards show with us for old times’ sake. She said, "Um. No, thank you." And then she laughed for altogether too long a period of time it seemed to us. … At least it sounds much nicer being turned down with a Russian accent. We miss Vicca, even if she can be mean … .  [FEATURED TAGS: Vicca]

Well it’s been rather hectic getting ready for this year’s convention, since D.Minion won’t be able to attend this time around. Turns out she does a lot of work at these gatherings, which means Maverick, and Lon, and SteveD have a lot of slack to pick up. Anxious to assume their new roles, Mav and Lon are already in Las Vegas, but Mav took time to show off his interview techniques via a topless trip with Kristal Summers. We were going to point out the irony of using D.Minion’s interview as Mav sets out to show his own skills in the area, but as far as we can tell, irony gets wasted on the Brits. We’ll be back first of the week with … well, something probably. Take care until then. Here goes nothing …  [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers, 247AdultStars.com]

Happy New Year! … At least the prevailing theory seems to be that we should all feel more positively about things now — because it’s one day later. … Have you been watching the national news lately? The first story always focuses on the truly sucky nature of the economy, and the second launches into desperate pleas for banks to start lending and consumers to start spending again. It seems like they’re trying to scare us into not being frightened. Right? Now being much wiser than this, Maverick has chosen to demonstrate his "Best" version of the immediate future, this being in the fetching form of his own Suzie Best. Maybe they have learned a few things in England over the centuries. [FEATURED TAGS: Suzie Best, 247AdultStars.com]
