It’s magic. Or maybe it’s just common. We sometimes have difficulty making that distinction, but we’re amazing adept at noticing really beautiful naked women like Kristal and Dee. In the grand scheme of things, that seems like a comfortable compromise. [FEATURED TAGS: Julia Ann, Kristal Summers, Dee, Shayla LaVeaux Video, Devinn Lane Video, Exclusive Video]

Dee on the beach. Try to be there when she is.

Even by our own amazingly lax standards today’s Holiday Celebration stretches the “weird” category to new dimensions. Still, even D.Minion would consider this wonderfully “personal” and a happy minion makes for a happy new year. This seems a quite reasonable goal in the grand perspective. Besides, Juli Ashton, Shayla LaVeaux, Chasey Lain, Vicca, Nikita, Norma Jean, Kaylan Nicole, Serenity, Phaedra Alexis, Stephanie Swift, Stacey Valentine, and Katja Kean (just to name some of them) sound pretty darned festive to us. [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton, Shayla LaVeaux, Vicca, Nikita, Taren Steele, Roxanne Hall, Stephanie Swift, Stacey Valentine, Avalon, Norma Jean, Chasey Lain, Kaylan Nicole, Serenity, Phaedra Alexis, Audrey Hollander, Heather Vuur, Heather Vandeven, Monica Mayhem, Faith Leon, Katja Kean, Justine Joli, Karlie Montana, Michael Ninn, Risque News Insight]

Juli awaits your entry.

Today we present a pre-party present that you can precisely see presently. (There’s some debate about the “personal” nature of this adventure, but by most definitions, considering it not so would be a preposterous proposition.) And now you needn’t rely on prescience. … When you’re at a loss for something to say, we say go with alliteration. It doesn’t necessarily mean much, but it sure is fun. [FEATURED TAGS: Georgia Adair Video, Dee Video, Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn]

Dee gives Georgia a present. Or maybe it's the other way around.

We’re pretty sure this is the first time we’ve ever put up BTS before even the Facade of BTS. Of course we’re also convinced that we’re very clever and ever-so-amusing, so clearly we have some unresolved issues. Still, Lorraine Sisco in charge of Mika Tan, Otto Bauer, Nikki Benz, Jenaveve Jolie, Daisy Marie, Alexis Love, Kaiya Lynn, Jerry, Ben English, Barry Scott, and Jean Val Jean ought to go a long way toward forgiveness, we figure. Of course we could have that wrong too. … Oh, dear. … See why we try to avoid this treacherous path of reasoning. It’s better just to enjoy the pretty people. … And have some ice cream; that’s good too. [FEATURED TAGS: Mika Tan Video, Nikki Benz, Jenaveve Jolie Video, Daisy Marie Video, Alexis Love Video, Kaiya Lynn, Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn]

Mika wants you to read this. Really. ... We're almost positive.

You know how we always say that truth is stranger than fiction? Consider this, and we promise that it’s true. … We were riding in a new SUV that one of the Risqué ladies happened to have picked up recently, and we couldn’t help but noticing a vast collection of “sticky notes” plastered on the dash. “I just love this new car,” the fair lass bubbled, “that little plastic screen is the perfect place to put directions for places I’m going.” … Honestly we waited as long as we could before pointing out that she was in fact using “sticky notes with directions” to cover up the vehicle GPS system. … Sometimes in life it’s best just to sit back and enjoy it. And that’s what we figured to do today as we immerse ourselves in Chris Hall’s pictures on the set of Aperture. Real photographers are fun to visit sometimes, but we must be honest and point out that Chris forgot to get any pictures of domestic animals or guys on ladders. [FEATURED TAGS: Heather Vuur, Heather Vandeven, Daisy Marie, Ginger Lea, Rita Faltoyano, Holly Wellin, Risque News Insight]

Altruistic goals guide the male porn star, as we learn today, and then we give some evidence to back up our speculation that most female porn stars didn’t grow up milking cows and slopping hogs. Odd to think that we’re accomplishing this with a push into the Christmas Spirit with on the set coverage of Axel Braun’s Silent Night. We should warn you, though, D.Minion saw real live chickensand guys working on ladders. You might want to just skip those shots and concentrate on the ones of Riley Evans and Regan Reese. It’s really up to you. [FEATURED TAGS: Regan Reese, Riley Evans, Michael Ninn, D.Minion]

Today could be a lot of fun. … Or today could be kind of frustrating. … Or today could even be repetitive, depending upon your personal history. … As a group we’ve chosen cheap Self-Help Book Philosophy: Happiness is there in life for everyone. All you have to do is grab it. … Clearly none of these moronic authors was ever a Bronco fan any time in the 60’s and early 70’s, or over the last three weeks, come to think of it. (That last part was not a “group” consensus, actually.) [FEATURED TAGS: Michael Ninn]

We credit/blame Mr. Ninn for this one.
12/5/06

We have been corrected today, as we show you D.Minion’s stills from Kristal Summers’ First AND Second Cam Shows. And we just feel horrible about the mistake. Or else we don’t give a whit, so long as there continues to be beautiful naked women around. Gosh. We always get these little details confused. And we’d worry about it more, but we apparently still have a lot of pressing lobbying to do. So many cat people, so little time … [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers, D.Minion]

Kristal in pajamas. Really. It's true.
12/2/06

We’re taking “flashing” to a level we actually don’t mind so much. Basically our philosophy has always just been to “not suck” and this effort falls solidly into that category. D.Minion exercised some unusual clout today too, though, but we’re blaming Carol, who said “that sounds like a great post” in some secret communication or another. Let’s just say that as pets go, dogs are still better. So there. [FEATURED TAGS: Jassie Video, Moni Michaels Video, Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn]

Moni Michaels considering Jassie. We do that too.
12/1/06

Apparently it’s rather chilly in many parts of the country, and so we thought we’d offer up a few Jamaican views with Dee (and Kristal Summers and some others). Granted, we’re also using the fun footage to further our educational quests, but if you can’t learn with naked women, well then what fun would life be anyway? [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers, Dee Video, Exclusive Video]

Dee ... warming things up quite nicely already.

Oh, boy … Now we’ve done it. For those of you that aren’t members of both sites, Michael (over at MichaelNinn.com obviously) recently wanted us to try putting D.Minion stories about his shoots over on his site too. Now we’ve always put them here if they inolved anyone we know and love, but a silly as it sounds Mr. Ninn sometimes does shoots that don’t include any Risqué women. I know. Crazy, huh? Anyway he loved the way it looked and the response it got, so now he wants us to do them for EVERY Ninn Worx shoot. Now it may not seem like it, but it’s a lot of work to post these stories the way we do, and since The Risqué Clan represents the major focus around here, we came up with a plan. We agreed to the task on the condition that y’all could see the “other” Ninn shoot stories too, and Michael agreed (happily, we might add). So today you get to see Porn Star which, although not technically starring anyone from our group, the movie does rather heavily relay on some personalities you may be very familiar with. That’s all we’ll say. We don’t mind helping Michael, but we’re still going to be nice about it. [FEATURED TAGS: Britney Skye, Kelly Taylor, Tory Lane, Malibu, Mia Smiles, Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn, D.Minion]

Brittney Skye ... playing a few friends.

One would think that working in the XXX Industry would be a fairly good job. Now we should probably dispell some myths here before we even get started, so “bare” [sic, we know] with us as we try not to ruin too many fantasies. … Hmm … This might be too large of a topic for a “New Stuff” lead-in, so let’s just go with the Bigee Myth: Women in the Porn Industry don’t actually have sex with anyone, anywhere, at the drop of a hat, or even trousers. OK. That’s over with.

Actually this works exactly like most jobs. Everything gets old if you do it often enough. Honestly, the technical production of your favorite Adult Fare, probably wasn’t nearly as romantic as you might imagine. Put in more understandable terms, if you’re married it’s not that your spouse has “lost something” nearly so much as it is that you’re just really, really used to it. So don’t feel bad. (Do something about it, but don’t just sit around feeling bad.) More on point for the rest of us, as to today’s purposes we’ve called our wonderfully illustrated insights “Down in the Dolldrums” [still sic, we know]. Oh, and to cover that first point, “one would think that working in the XXX Industry would be a fairly good job.” One would still be right. [FEATURED TAGS: Georgia Adair, Marlena, Sue Diamond, Michael Ninn]

Dolldrums you can beat to. [VERY sic, we know.]

What do you know, Night Calls has a new Tramp. (D.Minion’s going to kill me for that joke.) Actually before the next episode, we’re posting the behind the scenes on the last episode, which makes this the earliest we’ve been late all month. Basically, we’re going to quit while we’re behind here, but not before we point out the thumbnail below. Who says there is no love in Hollywood? [FEATURED TAGS: Night Calls, Juli Ashton, Tiffany Granath, Christy Canyon, Amy Ried Video, Exclusive Video, D.Minion]

This photograph would be of Anais, as the knowledgeable among you have probably figured out already. Now doesn’t she look like she’s waiting for some type of explanation? Oddly enough it may not be the type of explanation you’re expecting, as we’re really mostly showing off Michele Morgan, Inari Vachs, and Evan Stone today, even as we’re talking about something else entirely. Have we mentioned it can be confusing around here? Better to just look at the pictures. [FEATURED TAGS: Anais, Juli Ashton, Shayla LaVeaux, Vicca, Nikita, Taren Steele, Kristal Summers, Alexandra Silk, Inari Vachs, Michelle Morgan, Risque News Insight]

Anais. A chick off the ol' block.

Y’all know about “Sneaky Pete?” … Well hopefully Michael doesn’t either, or if he does, hopefully he doesn’t read about him here. And if he does read about him here, hopefully he won’t read so far as to be able to make some Fragile connections. And if he does make those connections …. Well, this seems to be reaching a complicated structure rather quickly, don’t you think? How about this: Look at some really beautiful and talented people, but don’t tell anybody about it. Think of it as a football reference in honor of the upcoming season. Make sense so far? [FEATURED TAGS: Anna Karin, Nikki Blond, Jasmin, Dora Venter, Michael Ninn, Risque News Insight]

Anna Karin ... another future ex-wife for Mav.
7/13/05

Well we assume that figuring out what went wrong should make us feel better, but basically it just means that we have a lot of “fixing” to do. Sigh. Still, the first lost story that surfaced from technical oblivion happened to be D.Minion’s account of the same Innocence shoot that Lon had an account of … sort of. There were a couple of shoots going on at the same time, and DM (this time around) only accounted for ONE of the two while still managing to get in 280 pictures and over 6,000 words. This is one of those many, many words posts, y’all, so prepare yourselves while we go look for some more of what we lost. Don’t worry too much though: We’re only looking for lost stories. We gave up looking for our minds some time ago. Call this D.Minion’s take on “Innocence and Slutty Innocence.” Oh, and there was a tie in the voting for the thumbnail to include here, so we just used them both. They both seem rather indicative of D.Minion’s various views anyway … .

Hmm. Despite today’s date, we haven’t found very much “convenient” over the past weekend. Internal strife is never so annoying as when it has external ramifications. Fortunately, that’s all the philosophy for today. We’re suggesting you look at Kristal Summers (and Shay Sweet and Felecia) “In and Out of a Lot of Clothes.” We’re going to go research some old country rebellion remedies. Back soon … [FEATURED TAGS: Kristal Summers, Shay Sweet, Felecia]

Kristal ... after having much more fun than we've been having.

Sometimes Lon just says it best. He had a chance to visit one of Michael’s sets a while back, and he had a camera with him (imagine that). Now we’re really not certain about what exposure methods this particular camera utilized, but there are naked girls in the pictures, so we assume Lon had some plan in mind. We do know that Long giggled a lot after this particular trip, but we really should stop talking about this now. We wouldn’t want to Wax Lon, Wax Off, after all. Lon does a bunch of that himself. This particular entry weighs in at upwards of 4,500 words, y’all … [FEATURED TAGS: Paola Rey, Wanda Curtis, Alex Devine, Cassie Young, Jennifer Luv, Marie Luv, Jasmine Byrne, Sarah Blake, Keri Sable, Fallon, Marlene, Tiffany Tyler, Randy Wright, Felix Vicious, Kelly Kline, Michael Ninn, Lon]

Cassie Young, but no so impressionable anymore.

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]

Call it “Dee“ity on a couch.

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]

6/24/05

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]

The girls saving on laundry bills.

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?) [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton Video, Taren Steele Video, Gayle, Serenity, Exclusive Video, Risque News Insight]

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.

“Ninn Worx” in mysterious ways too, apparently Divinely Inspired. So today we have D.Minion’s account of a shoot she didn’t actually attend.

Terri Summers. (She's obviously related to Kristal.)

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]

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. Life is good. Cheers!

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. That really sucks. We’re going to go lie down with Akasha now … [FEATURED TAGS: Jana Cova Video, Exclusive Video, Michael Ninn]

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]

Juli would look GOOD in the White House ... or the Brown House ... or the Red House ...
