Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

2/28/09	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.

2/25/09	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. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Shayla LaVeaux, Jenna Haze, Sunset Thomas, Monique Alexander, Jessica Drake, Lexi Love, Exclusive Audio, Lon, Maverick, Steve]
2/22/09	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. [FEATURED TAGS: Heather Vandeven, Heather Vuur, Dee, Inari Vachs, Devinn Lane, Exclusive Video, Risque News Insight]
2/19/09	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. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars.com, Cate Harrington Video, Exclusive Video]
2/13/09	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]
2/9/09	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]
2/6/09	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]
2/2/09	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]

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

3/29/08	And now for something completely different. … OK. So those of you that have been members for some time probably realize that one could use that particular sentence referring to just about anything we’ve ever done around here. But we did make a conscious effort this time. After our last “topless girls pretending to wrestle” effort, we decided we should do something as far away from that “fluff” as possible. It didn’t take very long for someone to say, “Well, D.Minion on any of the Neo_ sets would fit that bill perfectly.” We decided this to be perfectly true, and so we’re heading into this particular “matrix” with DM on the set of Neo_Pornographia 4 – because why in the world would we start with number one, after all? Oh, and the person that came up with this idea has now received a very public “Thank You” for the suggestion, which turns out to be a lot cheaper than giving them an actual raise in salary. [FEATURED TAGS: Audrey Hollander, Holly Wellin, Stacy Thorn, Nicki Hunter, Marie Luv, Michael Ninn, Exclusive Video, D.Minion, Risque News Insight]
3/26/08	After surveying a very knowledgeable group of people deeply involved in the porn business, here is what we can definitively explain about the breadth of human sexuality: “We have no idea if limits even exist, and we’ve long ago stopped looking for them.” Great. That helps a lot. … Quite honestly what we’re talking about this time really looks a lot like a significantly more amateurish and topless version of the WWF – or any other of those confusing wrestling acronyms. Still, those poor souls don’t have Kristal Summers and Charlie Laine in the ring. … Um, so WE WIN! … Don’t you just love it when that happens? [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers, Charlie Laine]
3/25/08	It might actually be “all in a name” – if you’re like a philosopher or something. If you still have to pay your rent every month, though, erudite musings really lose their luster quickly. So we thought we’d offer the one super-secret to success in the movie business today, and we thought we’d use the adorable Cassidey as sort of a visual aid. If you get to choose, we’d always suggest picking beautiful naked women to help you out. Just put an “e” on the end of the “aid” word. [FEATURED TAGS: Cassidey Video, Exclusive Video]
3/19/08	The annual Adult Entertainment Expo can be a deeply personal experience, as any of you that have been members for very long can attest. … That’s one of the themes for today, as we pay necessary homage to the American writers in the fold. It seems that we’ve been ignoring those particular contributions, but we can assure you that it’s only because of volume rather than malice. (Never attribute to malice what stupidity can adequately explain.) If we give you another quote it may help: “It actually looks as though Sunset Thomas may have some new competition in the “Best Star to Get Multiple Photos With” category. Being the consummate professional, and purely dedicated to the edification of the risqué Member, however, Lon probably forgot to enjoy this at all. … Probably.” Or it may not help at all. We can never tell. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Sunny Lane, Celeste Star, Kylie Ireland, Sunset Thomas, Jessica Drake Audio, Shane Audio, Exclusive Audio, Steve, Lon]
3/15/08	Thus speaks anew the U. K. contingent. (Well, it’s really just Mav and a U. K. production company that we work with, but “contingent” sounds much better, don’t you think?) And although technically this would just be Maverick’s experiences and photos of Day Two of the AEE, when you’re talking about U. K. folks you get to say fun things like “thus speaks anew” – and that’s fun. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars, Adult Entertainment Expo, Lexi Love, Christy Canyon, Jenna Haze, Gina Lynn, Natasha Nice, Exclusive Video]
3/12/08	In an unusual twist, even for us, we’ve set about a Variation on a Theme as we continue a bit with Ms. Kylie today. Well, maybe it’s really more of an Extrapolation on a Theme … or really even more precisely an Extrapolation on a Hypothetical Theme. … Come to think of it, maybe it’s best if we just stop trying to explain it and let you get to it. Begin with this: Nudity as Life …. [FEATURED TAGS: Kylie Wylde]
3/10/08	We’re going in search of Kylie today, although which one remains a bit of some conjecture. Now you have to consider that there are a few of them in XXX now, and then you have to factor in that each “persona” in our business tends to take on a wide variety of incarnations over time. So depending on which Kylie, at which point in her career, that we get, the impact could change a lot. On the upside, naked females enjoying themselves has always seemed like a dandy control group to us.. Don’t you just love our science? [FEATURED TAGS: Kylie Wylde Video, Exclusive Video]
3/8/08	Have you ever spent a few weeks watching people getting bloodied in a bunch of, although certainly creative, relatively messy ways? … That doesn’t matter. … You know what’s better? … Looking at lots of pictures of Kristal Summers naked. … Now granted looking at lots of pictures of Kristal Summers naked pretty much beats anything, but this time you can also listen to interviews of Ninn Worx Producer, Lorraine Sisco, and risqué Friend Kylie Ireland while away a little time with D.Minion as she played around with some new toys. (Before you get too excited here, we should tell you that it was just a new digital recorder and had nothing to do with the more traditional “adult novelties” as you may have come to think of them. On the other hand, we do have those pictures of Kristal Summers naked. Could be worse. (Horror movies are bloody. Have you ever noticed?) [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers, Lorraine Sisco Audio, Kylie Ireland Audio, Exclusive Audio, D.Minion]
3/4/08	Ever think about traveling with a porn star? … We mean seriously think about it. … Well, it can be an interesting experience, if for no other reason than looking at the people’s faces around you when you walk into an airport, or a hotel, or any other “normal civilization” location. Today we thought we’d give you a little previously unseen exposure to what it can be like – with, say, Inari Vachs. Upon reflection you’ll probably like the way we think. [FEATURED TAGS: Inari Vachs, Risque News Insight]

February 2007 Risque | What’s New

… With appropriate credit to Garth:

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

2/17/07	We’ve got another big trip down to LA planned, because Michael has decided that it’s a grand idea to shoot eight days in a row … because Michael is completely insane. That said, we figured we’d tag along anyway because odds are good that there’s going to be at least a few very interesting young women to talk to, and the fact that they’re likely to be scantily clad really doesn’t enter into the equation at all. OK. It might, but we were never very big fans of equations in general, so we plan on doing as little math as possible while we enjoy the ambiance. For your part, you can finally read about Redish’s big day with an also scantily clad Kristal Summers, and you can once again remind yourself about the value of genetics as you consider Anais. All in all, if this doesn’t keep you busy until we get back next weekend, then you can try solving equations for three variables or something, but don’t ask us for help. We’ll be hanging with the naked chicks – to hear what they have to say, of course. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Kristal Summers, Anais Video, Exclusive Video, Redish]
2/16/07	Sometimes after a big ol’ This is The Industry’s Biggest Convention of the Year kind of post, you just want something nice and simple. We were trying to do that today. … Unfortunately in perusing Chris Hall’s wonderful photos from Through Her Eyes, we noticed that all of the pictures are of particularly beautiful and alluring women, which by definition means that they are anything but simple. We didn’t have a better plan, though, so we’re posting them anyway. We are, however, including a time-honored caveat: Y’all be careful now. Y’hear? [FEATURED TAGS: Faith Leon, Shy Love, Sophia, Selina Draagen, Michael Ninn]
2/14/07	The train she was a slowin’ down as we headed into the end of the trip for Lon’s AEE story. But we now know a whole lot of things we didn’t know before – none of which will help in the slightest if we ever want to be on Jeopardy, by the way. Still we’ve now managed to finish this particular trek and we hid a little Dee (and Georgia Adair) bonus in there for the detective-types among you. (OK. It’s not really hidden that well, but let’s face it: Those two young ladies pretty much shine despite any shadowy intent.) [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Dee Video, Calian Curtis, Nicole Sheridan, Alexis Amore, Exclusive Audio, Exclusive Video, Lon]
2/9/07	Do you know what’s better than a photo set of Inari Vachs wearing a fancy outfit with a bright green and white feather boa? Well, you probably guessed it, but if you didn’t it’s Inari Vachs NOT wearing a fancy outfit – with a bright green and white feather boa. Also, we have Days Two and Three from Lon at the AEE, but with all deference to our good friend, we’re thinking Inari naked might be more of a draw. Call it a hunch …. We call it “Inari, Unconstricted” … but we’re weird that way. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Inari Vachs, Kristal Summers, Kylie Ireland, Exclusive Video, Lon, Risque News Insight]
2/5/07	We interrupt our regularly scheduled AEE coverage to bring you a bit of news (with a video celebration, naturally). As it turns out Heather (Vuur, or Vandeven, it remains to be seen) has been named Penthouse Pet of the Year. Gee. Who knew? While her magazine won’t “officially” be hitting the stands for a couple of weeks, we thought we’d provide this Public Service Announcement so that y’all might begin saving your pennies so that you may purchase one. We can probably even get you an autograph if you send it in and request it. We know people that know people, you know. Oh, and don’t worry. We’ll get back to Lon’s fascinating and technically marvelous Polaroids soon. [FEATURED TAGS: Heather Vurr Video, Heather Vandeven Video, Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn]
2/3/07	Our bonus today includes 100 beautiful pictures of Ninn Worx’ contract star Heather. There is absolutely no reason that we would be talking about Heather this weekend, because that would be wrong. So don’t even think there’s a reason. We never do anything wrong, after all. Well, we did include Lon’s Day One of the AEE today too, and depending on your perspective, that might be “wrong” – but we’re pretty sure it’s not going to make anyone physically attack us or anything. Historically, by the way, that has been our internal barometer of “wrong” – which probably means yet another thing we’d rather not think about. We also talk about Froot Loops. We’ll just eat some of those rather than think too deeply. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Jenna Jameson, Julia Ann, Sunrise Adams, Heather Vuur, Heather Vandeven, Audrey Hollander Audio, Faith Leon Audio, Exclusive Audio, Lon]
2/1/07	According to the take-out packaging at the local’s Wendy’s restaurant, a “Zedonk” is a cross between a male zebra and a female donkey. Implied in this description must be the logical assumption that a female zebra would kick the begeezus out of a male donkey if he tried to mount her. Now we don’t know what exactly Lon’s beginning of the AEE would be a cross between, and we’re pretty sure the one thing it doesn’t have is implied logical reasons buried in it. But it does represent a rather wacky example of our lives, and we get to see Dee naked for a bit, and that’s always nice. You have to consider that we may not be the best judges of things around here, though, as we thought “Zedonk” was the sound your rotweiller makes when the car it’s been chasing for months finally decides to stop in the road. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Dee, Jana Cova, Sunset Thomas, Lon]

February 2006 Risque | What’s New

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

2/26/06	Do you know how you know you’re in Los Angeles? I was sitting outside a little sandwich shop yesterday and a guy walked down the street in one of those t-shirts that have obviously been washed about 500 times – you know the “favorite shirt” kind of washing? The shirt said, “If we are what we eat, then I’m going to be you in the morning.” THAT’S how you know you’re in Los Angeles. Now you might want to decide if you’d rather spend a few days in LA, or (finally) peruse D.Minon’s account of the 2006 AEE. They should both take about the same amount of time, we’re betting, but the DM insights will still be cheaper, so they have that going for them. If you’re brave, keep reading, consequently … click here. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, AVN Awards, Juli Ashton, Kristal Summers, Jessica Drake, Kylie Ireland, Audrey Hollander, Julia Ann, Exclusive Video, Lon, Steve, D.Minion] In case you’re not a member and are reading this on the free side you may still be curious (at least if you’ve been following along for a few weeks). In its final form, this one “post” weighs in at 38 pages comprising 4,500 some odd (and some a lot odd) words, 15 video clips, 400+ pictures, and uncounted amounts of weirdness. Do not be afraid if you’re thinking of joining, however: We usually keep a better reign on our faithful Minon. If you are a member, call your travel agent. Erotica LA is June 22-24 … and we’re forming the barest thread of an idea for an event there. At the very least we’re going to need more people to help distract DM. Kristal and Dee can’t do everything.
2/21/06	We’ve got a Big Time Stall going on around here today, but that doesn’t matter as much because we’ve also got the luscious Sarah Blake to help us fill our time. We’ve often said that we lead a very strange life, but it may be that strangeness has no bounds around us. A graduating high school senior (Yes, he’s 18, D.Minon.) casually asked me at lunch if I knew anything about Porn Stars. It seems his final paper has to do with “Women Enslaved by Pornography.” And the only thing this kid knows about me is that I’m friends with his dad. I expect I’d better ask Dad how much I can tell the young inquiring mind. As it turns out, I probably do know something about this subject. The rest of you should probably just enjoy Sarah. She’s really a lot more interesting, but we will let you know how it all comes out … so to speak. [FEATURED TAGS: Sarah Blake, Michael Ninn]
2/19/06	Kaylan Nicole is “Certifiably Anal” … and that’s a dandy way to start a discussion, isn’t it? Well fortunately today there are a lot more interesting things to concentrate on than “discussion” as you’ll see. There’s Kaylan, of course, and then there’s Jewel, Peter North, and a mystery guest. Sound interesting? Well we can feel confident as we tell you that “sounds” are only part of the attraction with this entry. [FEATURED TAGS: Kaylan Nicole Video, Juli Ashton, Jewel, Exclusive Video]
2/17/06	It’s quite possible that we have a Secret Agent as a member. At least that’s the latest philosophy around here, as we all went through Mr. Moto’s Photos from the AEE. After looking at over 1,000 pictures, not to mention actually attending the event, you’d think we wouldn’t be surprised by the people that our good friend managed to photograph. So we figure he just has some special powers, but at least he only uses them for good, and he does share with us after all, so that’s OK. Besides, you never know when you might be in need of a SuperHero. You really don’t. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Rita Faltoyano, Sunny Lane, Mr. Moto]
2/11/06	Yeah, we know we’re putting up a story today with a date on it from a couple of days ago, but we’ve got so many different stories, and pictures, and clips and so forth in the queue that we didn’t want to hit everybody with too many things right in a row. Besides, this has Dee, and Holly Hollywood, and Mia Smiles, and a Big Star that we’d rather forget, honestly. And that doesn’t happen every day. There really is a method to this madness, and just as soon as we find it, we’re going to put it to good use. Really. Swear. [FEATURED TAGS: Dee Video, Mia Smiles, Holly Hollywood, Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn, Risque News Insight]
2/7/06	Georgia Adair has come up recently on the Message Board, and naturally that got us thinking about her. Then in the midst of a feared Temporary Restraining Order we decided to do more than just think about Georgia; we decided to show her off. So we did. We enjoy easy things sometimes. We mean the showing off, not Georgia personally, of course. Also you can get a little bit of insight into what’s coming up (and you can understand this little picture) if you pay attention today. [FEATURED TAGS: Phoenix Ray, Georgia Adair Video, Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn]
2/3/06	We figure we lost Maverick, Doug, and a few others with the thumbnail, but for those of you that didn’t pass out just from a little picture of Kristal Summers in a bubble bath we should explain that we have many pictures, some rather more revealing, of Kristal in this bath today. We call it Beauty and Bubbles make the Babe. We also have Lon’s account of the Adult Entertainment Expo, all 3,407 words of it actually. Oddly this account seems to include complete details on every meal Lon ate in our presence. Hey, we just post ’em as we get ’em, y’all. In case you were concerned, we also have more of Lon’s … um … interesting photographic efforts. Someone needs to let him know that nobody really uses Polaroid cameras anymore … Maybe Lon’s just a very retro kind of guy. Speaking of that, wait until you see Juli Ashton and Kylie Ireland in 1995. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Kristal Summers, Juli Ashton, Julia Ann, Kylie Ireland, Justine Joli, Sunset Thomas, Cytherea, Lon]
2/1/06	We’ve said it before, but we really do lead very strange lives around here. And apparently the condition can be catching as we’ll learn today. Once a distant Kristal Summers fan, then a shy Members’ Party attendee, and eventually a regular visitor to the Risqué homefront, our friend Maverick has taken a professional turn that’s really hard to explain. Now it’s not so much that the industry has a new webmaster among its members as it is that Maverick is that new persona. We know Maverick, and Maverick does NOT shoot POV videos with professional adult entertainers. Something is very, very wrong in the universe. We’re calling this “Fayed to Maverick” but that’s only for as long as it takes us to find that “Turn Back Time” Machine. Just when you thought you’d seen everything … [FEATURED TAGS: Faye Rampton Video, Exclusive Video, Maverick]
