Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

12/31/10

At this point we’ve pretty much given up on Business as Usual around here, as everyone has pretty much fallen into the Full Panic mode about the upcoming convention. When we decided to put that Countdown for Gibby on top of New Stuff, we didn’t really anticipate that this would result in common wails of AAAARGH! in the office – every time somebody here opens up the site to check something. Presuming we haven’t been overrun by a collection of pirates, one might assume that the old “Ignorance is Bliss” theory definitely seems to hold water in this establishment. Of course, since we’re almost always happy here, that should give us reason to worry, right? … We’ll think about that, and y’all enjoy Bullet Points from DM.

Get Real. Really?
12/27/10

You know how it feels when you get the opportunity to hang out with a friend that you’ve had for going on 20 years? Well, that’s how we’ve been enjoying for the past few months as we’ve all been showing off what we can do for just such a friend, Shayla LaVeaux. Today happens to be Shayla’s birthday, and today also happens to mark the launch of Shayla’s brand new personal web site. Members here get that access for FREE, and all of Shayla’s members will also get to hang with the rest of us for the same price. We’ve had a saying around here that we’ve used for years: “Things tend to work out.” … Happy Birthday, pretty lady. We love you. [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux]

Appropriate Christmas Ornaments
12/24/10

Don’t you just love presents? In the long list of quirks resulting in social deficiency that we possess around here, not being Politically Correct doesn’t even make the Top 40 list in all probability. Consequently, we feel quite comfortable just saying “Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas” and offering up another collection of gifts that you really shouldn’t share in just your basic family gathering. On the other hand, it does make us feel quite good to be able to offer this to the Members, and if that makes us odd, well, we weird people need love too.

Nice Things to find Under Your Tree
12/22/10

It’s … a Poetry, Nudity, Gala (Oh, My!) … And for what it’s worth, we’ve never heard tell of Cytherea actually appearing in a home having magically come down the chimney, but we can assure you that she’d be welcome most anywhere we suspect. At the very least she provides a lot of decorative value to the area, regardless of the season. And while we make no claim to Shakespearean aspirations around here, we can do a dandy bit with the Limerick. If you have the time to wander through, you might even enjoy the poetic license. If you just have time to gaze at Cytherea, you’ll definitely enjoy her license to thrill. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea]

What Santa Wishes for at the Bottom of the Chimney
12/20/10

Did you know that even porn stars can get jealous when “their” man participates in a scene? Well, strange as it may seem normal human emotions don’t completely abandon a woman just because she’s decided on this rather atypical career choice. On the other hand, even in the presence of these feelings the guy usually gets to escape with all his limbs intact – even if not so much his breath. … If any of you folks out there ever find yourself in this unusual situation, take some advice from someone who’s seen it a lot: Walk away clean, and whatever you do, don’t brag too much. Shayla LaVeaux, Olivia Del Rio, and Anthony demonstrate a point (or two) this time around. That’s handy. [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux, Olivia Del Rio]

Olivia, of the River and the Angels

If you live long enough, you’ll get an opportunity to use the word “redact” in a sentence. Actually, if you happen to work for one of the various “critical” agencies for the U.S. Government, you’ll probably get to use that word all the time — generally in response to the bellows of all those pesky But The First Amendment is Important! people. On the upside, we use bellows a whole lot more than we use gallows these days, so that seems like progress. [FEATURED TAGS: Sunny Lane, Kimberly Kane, Evan Stone, Erica McLean, Kaz B.

We Wonder as She Wonders ... Festive, Aren't We?
12/13/10

Think about “C’mon Baby Light My Fire” … And if you know anything at all about Cytherea’s “speciality” in her adult performances, you know that if she did in fact light your fire, she could at least put it out all by herself. If you don’t happen to know what we’re talking about with Cytherea, well, you certainly will after a careful perusal of today’s video example. If you don’t understand “C’mon Baby Light My Fire” at all, just check YouTube. You’ll figure it out. And once reaching the video clips, if you wonder why someone in our Video Department went to all the trouble to create the complicated blueprint graphics as the background for the little introductions, we can explain that easily here too. Upon questioning we learned that this resulted from the simple fact that “Cytherea wrote the blueprints on this type of scene.” In addition to Web Geeks, Video Dudes also think they’re funny. … On the upside, you’ll even understand the Classic 60’s song reference at the end of DM’s story too. It’s fun around here. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea Video, Taylor Hayes Video]

Fire in the Hole
12/10/10

Have you ever had a party with a bunch of porn stars and all of the sudden they all decided to pile on each other and pose for naked pictures? … OK. So probably not, but there are a great many worse ways to spend an evening in life. So we decided to look at a life of one of those stars today, and then illustrate her adorned with Devinn Lane, Kristal Summers, Dee, and Wendy Divine. That’s a heck of a good way to be adorned, just so you know. [FEATURED TAGS:Kristal Summers, Dee, Wendy Divine, Devinn Lane, Jessica Drake, Cheyenne Silver]

Party with the Porn Stars
12/7/10

The more philosophically positive around here try to remember today for a different reason than history aficionados. Today, of course, happens to be Chasey Lain’s birthday. Naturally we have always wished the best for Chasey, and she’s (by all accounts, including her own) doing well. She’s actually talking about learning some web design techniques, which would make her a certainly entertaining person around the office. Consequently we’re doing some celebration of our own around here today, and giving a public vote of confidence for another lass that has had career hiccups – albeit those being of a substantially less physically risky than Chasey’s past. As D.Minion says, “We just want everyone to be happy.” [FEATURED TAGS: Capri Anderson, Chasey Lane Video, Isabella Video, Daisy Marie Video]

Happy Birthday Chasey
12/2/10

Each of us brings a unique perspective to life, well, unless you happen to be one of those lacky “Dear God, Don’t Let Me Lose My Job” types in Washington, D.C. of course. Of course gradations of “unique” come into play, and both D.Minion and Sunny Lane certainly represent Whos of Different Hues if you want to look at it that way. Put them both in a Las Vegas hotel room, and you can imagine where the conversation (to say the least) will go. Since we’ve now started serious planning for the upcoming Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, this little soirée seemed the perfect beginning. One thing about Vegas with a boatload of porn stars, you can find soirées out the ying-yang. … There’s another title in there somewhere.

December 2009 Risque | What’s New

… With appropriate credit to Garth:

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

12/31/09

Did you know that the term “Blue Moon” technically refers to the second full moon in a given calendar month? Now that pretty much sums up the educational value from a purely scientific perspective, but Maverick chose this last day of 2009 to celebrate his continuing love of breasts (which happens a lot more often than once in a blue moon, as you might know). Given close inspection here, we’re all perfectly prepared to defend the position that Syren Sexton has two characteristics relevant to this discussion that could give one a reminder of full moons, though, and there are, by definition then, two of them in a calendar month, so maybe this all closes out the year quite nicely. Isn’t science fun? [FEATURED TAGS: AdultStars247.com, Syren Sexton Video, Exclusive Video]

Breast Wishes for a Great New Year
12/29/09

Having given it careful consideration, it seemed prudent to finish talking about one convention before we start the next convention in about a week. We should admit, perhaps, that D.Minion happened to be the big proponent of this approach, concerned as she remains with tidiness when it comes to all things porn. Now the fact that we happened to be behind on her Erotica LA coverage probably had nothing to do with that (rather firm, if you want to know the truth) decision. Really. Swear.

Julia Ann Demonstrating Not All Women Are Created Equal
12/25/09

If you’re one of those people that think Christmas has become way too commercialized and has thus lost the quaint, family-oriented (if not distinctly religious), meaning behind the holiday … Or if you’re one of those people that think Jesus was just a prophet, and not the Son of God, anyway … Or if you’re one of those people that think that regardless of any of that, h/He was actually born in the summer and hundreds of years later some folks “changed” his birthday to coincide with a distinctly Pagan Celebration surrounding the Winter Solstice … Well, gee, we hope you get all those tough issues figured out so you can be happy again. For our part we’re going to simply wish you all Happy Holidays! And then we’re going to sit peacefully and drink some eggnog. Odds are good there’ll be rum in that eggnog come tonight, actually. [FEATURED TAGS: Taylor Hayes Video]

It Is What It Is
12/24/09

Elected officials in Washington claim to be giving us all a “gift” this holiday season, and if that’s not enough to terrify any sane U.S. Citizen, then we don’t know what might be. That said, Health Care Reform really does hold an important place in the evolution of any society wishing to grow, and we consider all the grousing about special consideration given to one state simply out of place in reality. We questioned every single person we could get to talk to us over the last few days, and not a single one of them said they would be unwilling to pay not to have to live in Nebraska. … While you mull that little fact over, it seemed an excellent time to hear Holiday Greetings from our British friend – and his friend.

Sound the Holiday Syren
12/23/09

We could make polite conversation about the weather, because it seems that the entire country finds itself suffering from a cold spell. Living in Southern California, of course, we need to be careful about that sort of thing, because people here wear hooded sweatshirts and gloves when the temperatures drop below a frigid 60 degrees. Instead, we decided we’d distract everyone with the decidedly not frigid inspection of Kristal Summers and Dee. This ought to jump the room temperature at least 40 or 50 Fahrenheit points we figure, thus giving people in the rest of the country some solace. At least you folks won’t need to turn on the air conditioner. [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, Kristal Summers]

Kristal and her Warming Trend
12/20/09

How many adult entertainment sites can you think of that occasionally make copious use of footnotes in their articles? Maybe most of them have a sufficiently narrow focus that makes the use of a literary “aside” unnecessary, but a broader perspective (pardon the pun, if you’re old enough to understand it) honestly does make life more enjoyable. Along with our trademark dual-color font approach to industry reporting, we’ve figured out that we have over the years developed quite a few ways to convey said literary aside. … We don’t mind rambling so much as confusing rambling. You need to keep that distinction in mind in life as you meet various entertaining people – or simply strange ones. [FEATURED TAGS: Chasey Lain Video]

It Takes WHO Baby
12/16/09

So we’re on set with Ron Jeremy on Monday and he lets everyone know that from now on we should not be calling Tiger Woods a Tiger, since he’s clearly a Cheetah. (For what it’s worth, Ron specifically denied responsibility for the joke, maybe because that’s fair, or maybe because Ron specializes in making audiences groan yet another way these days.) … At any rate, you’ll probably be happy to know that we decided to focus on Chasey Lain today, rather than Mr. Jeremy, although we did manage to tuck in a brief discussion of humor as an art form, and even a little more Tiger, er Cheetah, Woods. Whatever.

The Beginng and The End of Things - Appropriate Considering the Venue
12/11/09

We’re gearing up (and wardrobing up, if you want to get technical about it) for the upcoming round of “Parties Disguised as a Convention” in Las Vegas next month with a little exclusive retrospective on how Kristal Summers and Dee chose to “relax” at an earlier similar event. We’re also unveiling yet another update to the navigational system in the Members’ Area, just so you know. Will it make it much easier to get around and much less cluttered while you’re trying to do so? The Geeks here say that it will. Will it encourage you to take advantage of the now decade-plus volume of archival wonderfulness at the Risqué Commune? The Geeks here say that it will. … Will it make us seem any less bizarre than you may have considered us before? Absolutely not. [FEATURED TAGS: Chasey Lain Video, Daisy Marie Video, Isabella Sky Video]

A Risque Party Welcome
12/7/09

Virtually a decade to the day since delineating our desires, we deploy the First Official Members’ Search Engine across the Risqué Commune. … We decided that December 7th might be the ironically perfect day to launch such a venture, in celebration of Chasey Lain’s birthday, an early risqué client, of course, and certainly not because of that other December 7th reason. Honestly we’re hoping that bit of historic misery does not portend anything at all in our circumstance. We’re a tad intrepid about this whole thing, as it turns out, as the effort could have the impact of foisting our foibles to the forefront. Suddenly it has become amazingly easy to uncover heretofore obscure links to very old stories, and it remains to be seen whether or not that constitutes a good thing. At least we’re left with our alliteration. We can always grimace eloquently. [FEATURED TAGS: Jelena Jensen Video, Charlie Laine Video, Jesse Jane Video, Andie Valentino Video, Kirsten Price Video]

Presumably one can become desensitized to anything. If you can believe detective novels, law enforcement officers begin to simply accept how bad human beings can be toward each other. An Emergency Medical Technician must develop some ability to accept the gore they might see as a regular part of life, and just get on with their jobs. Even lawyers eventually learn to accept one another. It seems to happen, after all. Similarly, in the sex business, our threshold for outrageous behavior must by definition expand as we go along. D.Minion focuses on this concept in her on-the-set report today, or maybe we’re just reading too much into it. Shock can do that to a person.

Monkey Businiess in D.Minion's World
12/2/09

As it turns out, we can really antagonize some people without even meaning to. Apparently the admittedly subjective opinion of our leader here on the topic of porn star management has reminded some industry people that they do in fact know how to read. Well, good for them, we say. Reading is important. And while we’re compiling the list of things we might wish to pursue in this suddenly intriguing vein, we did ask the aforementioned leader if he wished to apologize to those affronted by the comments in the last post. “Sure,” he said, “tell them I’m sorry they got so offended.” (We really can’t make these things up.)

Does everybody remember the story of the Syrens? Well, it seems our own Dear Maverick has sailed too close to the shore, or more accurately her shore. Come to think of it, we traditionally refer to boats in the feminine, but are shores feminine too? … Better yet, don’t think about any of that and just see why Mav loves his job as Syren Begins Her Song over on the most famous British Isle.

Apparently over there in London an “ISP” doesn’t seem to involve anything that actually looks like “Service” – at least if Maverick’s experiences lately has been any indication. Consequently, the poor lad has been chomping at the bit to get 247AdultStars updated, and we’ve … well, we’ve sort of been laughing hysterically at what an actual business can get away with in the U.K. But he’s back up and running, some three weeks after “they couldn’t find a problem” (Don’t you love that?) and we have agreed to at least stop laughing at him until we see more of Syren Sexton. That’s a shiny Brit, that one. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars, Holly D. Video, Syren Sexton, Exclusive Video]

Wow. Historic moments in time can be interesting, right? Forty years ago the first man walked on the moon. Twenty years ago the Game Boy debuted. And any day now the new SEARCHABLE Index will debut on risque.com … although those might not all be of equal importance in the development of modern civilization. They might be, though. They never had Dee on the moon or in a Game Boy, though. There’s that. [FEATURED TAGS: Chasey Lain Video, Asia Carrera Video, Kelly O’Dell Video, Taylor Hayes Video]

Sometimes you simply need to do things for fun. Let’s face it: In 100 years, we’ll all be dead. Consequently, our leaders (more accurately: those that have been around here the longest) set out this past week to track down Tenaya. Hey, if you’re going to do fun things, they might as well involve a Penthouse Pet if you can work that into the equation. So as you pop on inside and see what we discovered, you can be prepared to smile with the lass once again … and you can also be glad we decided against using our first inclination of the “stop and smell the roses” approach here. Even a Penthouse Pet might have some olfactory issues with that particular metaphor, considering we found her way out in the California desert.

We’ve more on our We Love Julia Ann month today, which it occurs to us that people out here in the free section may not even know has started. Those people have a sad life, really, so we need to be kind to them. If you ever get really depressed with your own life, just look around a bit and consider what some others have to be dealing with. For example, some people live up in the “frozen tundra” like Uncle Gibby – on purpose. All in all, a regular interaction with bodacious babes seem preferable, even when you only get to visit.

One would think that writing on a day indicated by 7-11 would require at least passing consideration of “convenience” in some fashion or another. Of course we’ve pretty much ignored the 7-Eleven chain since they stopped selling magazines with naked women in them and then went and decided that they could make a better ICEE under their own brand name. Sometimes you should just let people do what they do, and concentrate instead on doing what you do, and everthing will work out just fine. How this all relates to Lon and DM’s crew tackling Erotica LA remains a conclusion we’ve left to you. That’s what we do, after all.

Dear Maverick finishes up his Slanted by (Lexi) Love review of the big Los Angeles convention this year, which turned out to have the distinct advantage of taking place a couple of weeks before Michael Jackson decided to die. Otherwise, parking down at the convention center would have been a real pain, and we’d have ended up walking as much as if Lon would have been in charge. Still it is always sad when people leave this plain, and as great a talent as Michael Jackson undoubtedly was, we still mostly feel sorry for Farrah Fawcett. She spent the bulk of her career struggling to get top billing, and the poor thing didn’t even get it when she died. God has a wicked sense of humor sometimes. Hopefully considering the recent porn outing will distract us from such sagacious musings, however. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars, Erotica LA, Lexi Love, Julia Ann, Exclusive Video]

There really generally happens to be a method to our madness, and on this festive national anniversary we thought we’d explain how Kristal Summers fits into the current agenda. We had a special request from a member recently for “more on Kristal” , and we therefore felt motivated to happily comply. Don’t you just love it when you agree to do favors for people that won’t require any actual inconveniences on your part? … You get credit for doing something that you certainly would have done anyway, and you can pretend it was all very difficult, so you can bank some favors of your own in the future. Now there’s a goal we can always strive for. … Y’all go watch some pretty explosions tonight, and then have some of your own with Kristal. … Oh, and Mav, sorry about that whole tea in the harbor thing.

Ah, the question of feminine beauty. … Don’t you just love questions that defy an actual answer while concurrently providing a wonderful enjoyment in the search for it? Much as our custom dictates, we approach the issue from yet another angle today, and as alluded to, we rest quite comfortably in our ultimate lack of a conclusion. We did come upon one corrollary that we could all agree on, and you’ll see that clearly in the thumbnail below, but that pretty much wraps up the real conclusions today. … Oh, and the estrogen-laden members of our team insisted that we point out that another question looms out there regarding the question of male beauty, to which the rest of us (quite reasonably, we thought) responded, “Yeah, so?” [FEATURED TAGS: Kenzie Ryan]
