Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

5/28/05

It’s Memorial Day Weekend, as most of the US folks know, and we’re celebrating. True, most Americans likely can’t even remember what we’re supposed to be memorializing (as anyone that’s ever seen “Jaywalking” on The Tonight Show can attest), but a very few people might recall that some people have spent millions of dollars, and some rather more important people have died, giving us the chance to carve our little free niche in the world. So grill some beef. Eat some hotdogs. Play frisbee with your dog. … And try not to be too upset with the fact that banks are closed on Monday. At least most of you don’t have to go to work, after all. Oh, and if you’ve got the time, you might check out D.Minion’s Risqué Retrospective. Nobody died, and not even any animals were harmed, in this little synopsis of time. But, gee, ain’t it funny how time slips away?

The Porn Industry hasn’t quite figured out the deceptively important concept of picking a title with care. We tend to name things with what they ARE, rather than what they’re ABOUT. Of course many would say that’s simply because the adult “movies” are exactly what they are about, but those people are still wearing trenchcoats and looking for cheap thrills from a hole in the wall if you ask me. Fortunately, no one asks me much, and so I can spend my time enjoying Dee Directing once again. Also, I don’t blame her for the title. You can now enjoy her too. Let’s not think about the trenchcoat crowd for the whole weekend, OK? [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, Ashley Blue, D.Minion]

How about “Mystery Loves Company” starring Ashley Blue and Mr. Marcus?

Over the years we’ve come to understand that it’s always preferable to wake up with a beautiful woman. Sometimes it’s even nice to wake up with three beautiful women, and if those women happen to be Juli Ashton, Julia Ann, and Becca … well, you’re obviously still asleep because you’re dreaming. Still we’re big on vicarious existence around here so you might as well sit back and enjoy something we (very cleverly, we might add) call Sybian Rivalry … OK. Maybe we’re still sleeping too.  [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton, Julia Ann, Becca]

This would be Julia Ann, Becca, and Juli Ashton, naturally ... so to speak.

So you meet a new person, and you’re still in the getting to know each other stage, right? Well somebody new on the Risqué periphery was describing a friend of hers. “She’s a real Right-Winger,” says the strange new person (who gets stranger by the minute sometimes), “but she’s a closet liberal, because she has gay friends, and even a Jewish one.”

Good Grief: One step forward. Two steps back. Eeek! …

Aside from the patently offensive implications here, we also saw a dandy opportunity to introduce Night Calls from March of 2005, since we love irony in all of its many forms. You see, this particular Night Calls episode, besides featuring the usual Juli Ashton and Tiffany Granath raucousness, had a group of beautiful female boxers as their guests, and if I ever knew two women that needed a punch in the mouth … well, you just heard from them on the periphery. What a strange world porn makes. That’s what we always say … [FEATURED TAGS: Night Calls, Juli Ashton, Tiffany Granath, Dee, D.Minion]

Juli and Tiffany ... glad they're not in the ring ...

“Sometimes it’s sweetness and light here in Porn Valley, but sometimes things don’t work out exactly as planned. Here’s the story of a movie shoot, The Dinner Party 3, for Ultimate, directed by Nicholas Steele, that didn’t quite work out as planned.” That’s the introduction that D.Minion wrote for this story. I’ll try again to explain to her that “sweetness and light” are relative terms, but until then you can enjoy the story. And isn’t “light sweetness” a nouveau term for fake sugar? Eeek … [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, Isabella, Lonnie, D.Minion]

We thought we’d spice up the start of the weekend with a bit of nostalgia, a bit of digital evolution, a small bit of Kristal Summers and Becca, and more than a small bit of Wendy Divine and Eric Masterson. You’ve also learned something for your grilling efforts this weekend. It’s always good to spice in small bits. You can always add more … [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers, Becca, Wendy Divine, D.Minion]

That rotten Eric gets to be in the backseat with Wendy ... No fair.

I got fired from my job last week, and I was pretty upset about it. So I was watching the surf, eating a couple of wonderfully spicy carne asada tacos and sipping fresh limeade (that I got from a tiny beach-side place most people never even notice) when I thought, “Hey! Wait a minute. She can’t fire me: I own the company.” Then I felt much better. Still, we’re pretty honest around here, and so if you’ve a mind to hear it, I’ll tell you the story. You can always just look for some amazing Friday the Thirteenth Bonus stuff instead. What did you expect from a guy named Lucky? Oh, and this picture will find its explanation. Really … [FEATURED TAGS: Phoenix Ray, Justine Joli, Audrey Hollander Video, Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn]

5/10/05

Somehow we woke up on Monday and it became Inari Vachs week. Usually we have at least two or three “groups” working on content for the site, and for some reason everybody ended up with Inari at Hedonism for their “random” selection this time. Maybe it’s something in the water, or cosmos, or something … or maybe a lot of people just think Inari’s really, really pretty … Whatever. We can live with Inari, Shore ‘Nuf …  [FEATURED TAGS: Inari Vachs]

OK. So we admit that it’s been awhile since we ventured by the site here, but we’ve been hanging out with Michael Ninn on the set of what we think will be one dandy piece of filmography. Also, we’ve been consorting with various porno babes that think they want our directional advice, and we’ve been reading about famous women that died in 1799. Hey, it’s been a busy week. There are interesting things in the works, y’all … Wait. Isn’t it a curse to live in interesting times? [FEATURED TAGS: Inari Vachs, Dee, Audrey Hollander, Michael Ninn]

Dee. As in Dee-lightful.

You know what? We haven’t been talking about Dee enough. For awhile we just thought these uncomfortable feelings were just from the long hours at Ninn Worx, or trying to get a deep understanding of really sexy subjects like “video compression techniques” or something. We even gave the “must have had some bad seafood” theory a brief visit, but then we realized that unless it comes wrapped in paper, we haven’t eaten it lately. Then we saw Dee at LA Erotica and we realized the obvious truth of the matter: We haven’t been talking about Dee enough. You know, you can spend time with your head buried in codec geekdom, on machines that cost many thousands of dollars, and you still miss the simple stuff. God has a twisted sense of humor, but God Blessed Dee in a big way. [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, D.Minion]

Conventions and Events pretty much describe the modern working world in America. No matter what you do for a living, there’s almost certainly a convention somewhere (every year) that brings all of you like-minded people together … probably to talk amongst yourselves about how hideous it is to try to do what you do for a living. … well … We have those also. And we also have those Events that really, really want to be in this “essential” catagory, so that they might make a bunch of money off of all of us too. Consider LA Erotica. Now the people that attend this paticular convention are much more interesting than the folks that pay money to display their wares, as it were, but it’s still a rather fun place to hang out for a bit. This year it cost $30 per person, per day, and that probably makes some accountant happy somewhere. We just went for the pretty girls. Sometimes simple is best.  [FEATURED TAGS: Erotica LA, Justine Joli, Sarah Blake, Dee, Tiffany Mynx, Sunny Lane, Rita Faltoyano, Charlie Laine, Nina Hartley, Alana Evans, Jezebelle Bond, Miyoko, Ashley Blue, Exclusive Video, D.Minion]

Ah, vacation … And that’s all we have to say here on the subject, but if you’re interested, you can read way more than you want to on the subject inside. Of course if you plan on taking your weekend a little easy and you’d just rather look at a some lost shots of Shayla LaVeaux, Juli Ashton, Vicca, Nikita, and Taren Steele, and then 150 shots of some view on the horizon, Justine Joli, well then that’s OK too. We’re really trying to get into the wedding spirit here, by the way. We have something old, something new, something borrowed … but, darn it, we just can’t be blue about it. We were never much for convention around here anyway.  [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton, Shayla LaVeaux, Vicca, Nikita, Taren Steele, Justine Joli, Michael Ninn, Risque News Insight]

It seemed appropriate that we end our first “Official Juli Ashton Week” as we began it — with a D.Minion recap of Night Calls, this time from May of 2005. Not only does it bring us up to date on Juli’s wonderful television program, but it also serves on the eve of a special day for a very special friend. Some of you may know that a couple of Memorial Days back Playboy TV once played nothing but Juli Ashton and Essentially Juli for 24 hours straight. Now you tell me anyone else in the history of adult entertainment that can say that a network has done that for them, and then we can go ahead and discuss vague concepts like “influence” and Fame. Peace, Juli … Nice job girl!  [FEATURED TAGS: Night Calls, Juli Ashton, Tiffany Granath, Justine Joli, D.Minion, Risque News Insight]

Juli Ashton: Truly one of a kind.
6/15/05

Just when you think you know everything … right? Well, the Early Ashton exposé from five days ago apparently pleased a lot of folks, and we’re thinking it’s not because of all of the pithy captioning work. Whatever the case, you asked for it, and so you get some more Juli today. You don’t even have to read the fascinating captions either, but if you don’t and we ask you about it later, please lie to us. We can live with that. Y’all get to live another day with Juli Ashton.

Well, the first Official Juli Ashton Week continues today with “Essentially” how the serious fame and money began. Like most successful people, we painstakingly mapped out her plan. We were careful when we said “No” to opportunity, and even more careful when we said “Yes.” We hoped. We dreamed. We cajoled and conspired. We remained firm in our resolve. … And then something completely out of our control and even more unexpected happened, and that’s what worked. Fate has a weird sense of humor … [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton Video, Taren Steele Video, Gayle, Serenity, Exclusive Video, Risque News Insight]

We’ve been thinking a lot about this “special week” coming up, so we decided to spend a little time with our friend. She’s really exemplary in a number of ways, but we can’t really count that high, as we keep getting distracted. To take matters gently at the first, we’re offering up Origins of Ashton as sort of a primer on one of the truly bright adult stars of all time. Granted Jenna’s undoubtedly a “bigger” name, but Jenna has also had many, many people and a big ol’ cache of bucks behind her rise in the world. Juli has had enthusiasm, determination, wit, charm, and a bit of good luck. Hey whatever works …. (Why are “prHIMer” and “prEYEmer” spelled the same, by the way? See how we get distracted?)

Juli Ashton as a classy nude too. Many talents, that one.
6/9/05

We’re coming upon a unique time for our friend Juli Ashton, and so we thought “What better way to celebrate than will a little foreplay?” Of course that’s our general response to every situation, but that’s not really the point. Somehow they ended up with hard core on the April, 2005, installment of Night Calls, but a story’s a story. So … well … Here’s the story.

Today we have a Hard Drive of a different kind, although the lovely Georgia Adair may create a more typical kind of hardness in many of us. About the time we were first negotiating with Michael Ninn for Georgia, she was in town killing time at our friend Danni Ashe’s place. D.Minion was there, camera and instruction book in hand. (You’ll read more about that if you decided to actually read instead of just looking at the 134 pictures.) At any rate you’ll have a good time, and you’ll have an even better time if you go visit our old buddy Georgia too.  [FEATURED TAGS: Georgia Adair, Bobbi Eden, D.Minion]

Kristal creates some Hard Evidence today, as it were, as we have an unusual story with a lot more words than pictures. Still, sometimes that’s how life turns out, and quite honestly it doesn’t take very many pictures of Kristal Summers to reach awe-inspiring status, truth be told. So we tell a few truths; we look at Kristal not meaning to show off, and we thankfully don’t have to warn people about many, many pictures of food establishments and restaurant menus. We March on …  [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers, D.Minion]

Kristal even looks impressive like this. It's not fair.

A lot of times on a porn site you wouldn’t follow “We found our motel” with the concluding part of the sentence today, “and headed off to the Helium monument.” Right? Well “A long time ago …” (Someone should really write a book with that beginning.) D.Minion met Dee in Amarillo, Texas, and then they travelled across the Great American Desert to get to Los Angeles. At least the “Bonus” section has some interesting interaction, but, basically, this post can be summed up if we tell you what this thumbnail says. “You can’t run with the big dogs if you pee like a puppy.” We have a very odd office.

For some reason people get really afraid of daring punctuation. Maybe primary school English teachers sign some secret oath that mandates that they frighten all young students against anything that isn’t a period or a question mark. Teachers that teach the advancing students can then introduce the comma to the budding minds, but after that the door slams shut …. See? Whatever happened to the good ol’ ellipse? What’s wrong with ALL CAPS to stress a point? And God forbid, on this Easter weekend, that a parenthetical comment ever rear its confusing head. (If you don’t know what that means, you should just skip to the 180 pictures from Ninn Worx’ Pussy Kat now, by the way.) Well, today we flunk English 101. Hopefully we’ll have to stay after school, and hopefully the teacher will be wearing one of those really short skirts … (See what a GOOD ellipse can accomplish?)

As it turns out we’ve fallen behind on the Night Calls stories and D.Minion goes a little Kindergarten Teacher on us when that happens. Remember the crossed arms and the tapping foot pose? Well, even though we’ve lived on this planet for more than four DECADES, that particular stance still stikes fear into our very soul. Being the regular manly men that we are, though, we immediately rolled over so D.Minion could scratch our cowardly bellies. And then we posted the next Night Calls story as though nothing ever went astray. The one thing about men is that at least we’re predictable … (Artistic men like Michael Ninn that want entire sites redesigned are even worse than kindergarten teachers, by the way. Free stuff from Sire Ninn very soon ….) [FEATURED TAGS: Night Calls, Juli Ashton, Tiffany Granath, Charmane Star, D.Minion]

We were going to send everyone corned beef and cabbage, along with a case of green beer, but then we did the math, and D.Minion said we couldn’t. Dang.

I’d forgotten how much I miss sharing a house with Kristal Summers. Even when she’s just helping around the kitchen, Kristal doesn’t mind putting forth that little extra effort to help set the table. Now you can see why it was very important to put the plates on a very high shelf. Also, you can probably see how environmentally conscious Kristal is, as she tries hard to avoid doing laundry too often, just for the benefit of the planet, of course. That Kristal … Now if Greenpeace had more spokesmodels like Kristal …  [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers, D.Minion]

You know, one of the hard things about writing is that very often things need to rhyme to flow smoothly off of the tongue, or brain, or whatever. So I’m trying to recount my adventures when I should have been at home watching the dogs and D.Minion’s parents, but instead I find myself (and my bummed-up leg) on a porn set observing the creation of a movie called Purple Skye … Yes. Truth is stranger than fiction. So, anyway, I have now found myself trying to think of a rhyme for “purple” … um … which ranks right up there with “orange” … Then I remarkably decide to just “show dem da money” — at which point all rhymes become superfluous. I really edit much better than I write, but at least we won’t have that “Clown Porn” picture haunting us at the top of the page anymore. One should give thanks for small favors.  [FEATURED TAGS: Brittney Skye, Amy Ried, Terri Summers, Dillan Lauren, Holly Morgan, Jenaveve Joli]

Sorry for the little hiccups of late. We’ve been deep in negotiations (and modifications) for Mr. Ninn, and, well gee, sometimes time flies even when you’re not having loads of fun. At any rate, we did decide that we should try to posts our FINAL (we promise) report on the AEE, at least before it was time for the next one. So, bowing to the requests of too many emails, today you get D.Minion’s take on the Convention. It seems she’s getting jaded too. Or maybe she just doesn’t like being the “go-to girl” at these things. Alas. If you’re going to accept that sometimes life sucks, it makes perfect sense to hang around porn stars all of the time. Speaking of that, we’re off to the set to cover Ninn Worx again. (Didn’t we just do this trip?) See you in a week or so. We’ll bring you presents.

Since Lucky is busy resting his busted knee, he’s making me do New Stuff. Not a problem, especially with such a great post! Not only do we have sexy classic stars like Juli Ashton, Shayla LaVeaux, Vicca, Nikita, and Nici Sterling in VCA’s Vortex, but we also have very new, very hot porn star Paola Rey in Becoming Georgia Adair: Chapter III.

It seems we’re groaning back into the web business today, albeit via a rather slow entrance. You can look at some fairly gruesome pictures of the results of major knee surgery in “Alive, but not really kicking,” or you can just look at Jana Cova relaxing herself poolside in Faith: In the Garden of Shadows, Book Two. It doesn’t take much intellect to figure out which one of these might be the most fun, but let’s just say both are inifinitely preferable to coming to the realization of just how effectively the world can go on in our absence.

The election was yesterday, and although it may not technically be “over” yet, the fat lady’s certainly warming up in the on-deck circle. Regardless of how you feel about the results of the contest this time around, at least we now have a President that a majority of the American people voted for, and that’s got to count for something. [If Kerry hasn’t conceded yet, he’ll do so soon. He’s a lot of things, but stupid isn’t among them.] So rather than bore everyone with political commentary, of which we’ve had a plethora of late, we decided to focus on the next election and offer a suggestion of Juli Ashton for President. Hey, it’s good to be involved in the political process … and, besides, it’s a good excuse to look at some very early pictures of the esteemed Ms. Ashton. [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton, Taren Steele]
