Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

4/30/10

Quite a few NFL rookie training camps opened today, as we’re certain each of you knows, since listening to anything at all that concerns either upcoming primary elections or whatever the government in Washington D.C. – and which political party thinks the other one has been taken over by morons – has long since ceased being interesting. Well, in Denver (in case you missed this vital information) they had a whopping 32 new team members present for this first day of workouts. And they had 47 members of the press in attendance to document all the vital information stemming from the day. They do like their Broncos in Colorado. … And speaking of Colorado, we have some news of our own regarding the beautiful state, and a bit of its homegrown beauty, actually. Sometimes in life, being a “Mile High” just makes a lot of sense.  [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux]

Considering it has been quite difficult as of late to get a plane ride out of London, it’s probably a good thing that Maverick can find fun things to do within the city. We wondered why he’d stop right in the middle of his AEE Epic to do something else on 247AdultStars, and then we saw the photos and video clips. Apparently the volcanic ash has not affected Mav’s mental capicity (yet). Also, his decision has the added benefit of giving us a moment to talk about fashion shows over there in the land of Bangers and Mash. If you’re in a hurry, you might just skip to Syren; you can reflect upon fashion statements at a later date. (But you’re going to miss all the funny stuff.)

You love Fun Facts, right? … So Yahoo, clearly one of the better-known Internet Giants has been running a very simple poll that only had one question in it: “Are you in favor of the Health Care Reform Bill?” And NFL.com, presumably not nearly such a major player in the virtual world, has been running a rather more complicated poll, theoretically attempting to determine “The Top 75 Draft Picks of All Time.” (This wording sounds a bit like we could vote for Charleton Heston in Ben Hur, but it could just be that “Time” didn’t really start until the 1960’s.) … Now as of last Friday, slightly over 39 thousand people had voted on the Yahoo poll, and somewhere over 45 million people had voted on the Pro Football question. We’re not going to try to draw any conclusions for you from that little tidbit of information, but we will tell you that Michael Ninn did not cast a vote in either arena, because he’s been rather busy being all artistic and such. Risqué members get to see how, assuming they’re not trying to remember whom the Broncos drafted in 1967. (Floyd Little, just so you know.)

Clearly almost everyone finds themselves now camped in front of ESPN, waiting breathlessly for the NFL Draft to begin tomorrow. For some odd reason a few of the office people here think that it being Earth Day might be of more significance, but those people are obviously disturbed. … On the off chance that you have a computer near your television, we’re filling you in a bit more with “Knowing Cytherea” — the modern version. We’ve got a lot of the demonstrably liquid lass in the queue these days, and not one of us feels any problem with this. Apparently Cy’s a lot less controversial than the more vital Football vs. Ecosystem debate. It’s all about priorities in life. [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea]

Cytherea AND the Ecosystem. Excellent.

Tax Day may seem like an odd day to tell a Love Story, but if you think about it, Love generally has no rhyme or reason, and besides most of us love it when we finally put the tax junk away for another year. Of course to get to the Love Story, you might have to meander through another day of nudity and fun with Dee at KSEX, but we do what we must (as this day reminds us every year). Oh, and if meandering with a naked Dee doesn’t interest you, well, then you’ve clearly been looking at depressing numbers for too long. Have a nice glass of warm milk and come back tomorrow. We’ll still be here.  [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, Annie Cruz]

Goodness but we have philosophy for you today. Of course when D.Minion goes on set and gets to spend time with a friend she hasn’t seen in a few years, that tends to happen. At least this time we forced her to break the experience up into four parts, so you have some at least minimal chance of getting all the way through her barely 1,800 words. If you’d rather just jump to the photographs and BTS video, naturally, you can do that as always. Of course you’ll need to come up with your own philosophies regarding Cytherea and her new attitude. Opinion around here seems to be that her new boobs speak for themselves. Boobs do that.  [FEATURED TAGS: Cytherea Video, Exclusive Video]

Some surprises in life are better than others. OK. So some surprises in life can really basically suck, but today’s “hint” of a surprise doesn’t suck at all. … Oh. Yes she does, come to think of it. But that’s not always bad, even as surprises go. And this doesn’t even technically qualify as the “big” surprise, but it does explain why we’ve been as busy as we have. Actually, maybe you’d better just see for yourselves. That might be best.  [FEATURED TAGS: Shayla LaVeaux Video, Chasey Lain Video, Phoenix Ray Video]

Today we celebrate Fools (with a capital “F” ). Or maybe we’re supposed to fool them (with a small “f” ). Or maybe it’s just a day for us to excuse every mean thing we do with “April Fool’s” , like that justifies anything. Now it probably makes as much sense as being able to pinch somebody just because they don’t happen to be wearing the proper colors some days, or letting young children gorge themselves on candy because it’s good for them that one day. … Come to think of it, we have some weird holidays. … Sticking to today for the sake of brevity, then, if a woman chooses not to promote herself as a Penthouse Pet on some days because she has to attend a prom or graduation with her boyfriend, and the company gets really mad about that, which of them is the greater Fool?

We called this entry about Tenaya “The Heart of Talk and Stroll” — well — because we’re just weird that way. In addition, we will occasionally plug 80’s bands because — well — honestly we have no idea. We can’t figure that one out ourselves most of the time, but it presumably makes somewhat more sense than the Rodney Carrington references you’ll also find in these pages. Nonetheless, when you’re showing a bit of Tenaya’s spectacular private life, nobody’s really going to read the title anyway, chances are. If you do read, however, you’ll learn even more about the lovely lass. Also, you’ll learn to enjoy words like nonetheless.  [STAR TAGS: Tenaya]

Apparently they changed a flat tire, saw lots and lots of old friends that happen to make adult movies for a living, and ate fast foot. That would be the seriously abridged version of Lon’s Adult Entertainment Expo experience this year. However, if you have been fortunate enough to become a Member of any of the Risqué Commune avenues, you know how much we hate doing things too quickly when it comes to any adult behavior, so you can once again rest assured that we’ve provided insight and illustration you simply won’t find anywhere else. We prefer to think that other people all get it wrong, if you’re wondering how that often seems to be the case here.

Purists among us might point out that we should probably have uploaded this particular “Celebrate the Irish” post a couple of days ago, but there are just way too many people out there dedicated to Tradition simply for the sake of Tradition. Don’t you think? … Consequently we’ve decided to march to our own drummer around here. (There’s a big shock, right?) And just as soon as we manage to find our drummer we’re going to start working out some new routines. You can count on it. … On a completely unrelated note, have you ever noticed that even if you’re not drinking green beer — on the beach — in the heat — after enough of it, all the people still seem to start turning various shades of green? … Science is interesting.  [STAR TAGS: Nikki Rhodes Video]

Recently it came to our attention that we do not say, “Oh, Bollocks!” nearly enough around the office. Consequently we have resolved to remedy this situation just as quickly as possible. (Technically we had to first resolve to have resolutions on days other than New Year’s, but why get bogged down in details really?) … And speaking of details, Maverick shares a great many of them today in his “Day 2 of the AEE” post on 247AdultStars. Sadly we didn’t actually find any “nonsense” or “rubbish” — which seems to be how dictionary.com defines “bollocks” for us — so we couldn’t use the term in the ever-pithy commentary on those posts from our leader. On the upside, the reference source did say that term often has a “vulgar” connotation, and that should be something we have no trouble working with around here. It’s good to have a plan.  [STAR TAGS: AdultStars247.com, Adult Entertainment Expo, Lexi Love, Katie Kox, Kayden Kross, Sasha Grey, AJ Bailey, Savanna Samson, Lexi Belle, Bree Olsen, Julia Ann, Exclusive Video]

You can find many good reasons to live in Los Angeles, but the colorful people have to be at least near the top of every list. In this economy most big cities will have scroungy-looking people on street corners looking for some money for some reason or another. However, in LA last week we saw a guy with a sign that said, “Need $4.01 for a soy latte.” … Across the street from this fellow was another chap with a sign that said, “Gulf War Veteran. Need a WIFE. Will accept cash.” … You gotta love LA. They could never put the “reality” here on television and have anyone believe it. Speaking of which, we give another dose of our “too strange for prime time” reality with an update on Penny Flame and some “Sanity” advice from Dee. Try wrapping your head around that one.

So here’s the deal: D.Minion gets very, very excited when she gets to go on the road with one of the girls, and so her reports from these adventures tend to ramble a bit. In the piece that follows, we go from puppies to school girls, to the birthdays of 70’s television stars and how to get free lap dances at strip clubs. Consequently, we’ll give you a hint: In the first paragraph there is a picture of Dee. This will be the only picture accompanying the article proper. Just on the off chance that somebody might want to hit that handy-dandy camera icon at the top of the page, and jump to directly to the rest of the photos, that will be useful information to remember. … If you decide to exercise this option, however, and D.Minion ever asks you about it. Lie to her. … That’s what we do.  [STAR TAGS: Dee, Kristal Summers]

Maverick and 247AdultStars begin the "official" Adult Entertainment Expo coverage, which makes those of us waiting on the reports from Lon and Steve just a little nervous, quite honestly. If you think about it, one doesn’t need to spend much time writing two or three hundred words, particularly when you’re talking about the contributors around here. Oh well, in typical fashion we’ve decided to panic about that bridge when we suddenly have to cross it, and at least Mav decided to break this mega-event up into four parts. For our part, we’ve decided that only brief editorial comment, supported by a very few quite wonderful pictures of Kristal Summers at home might be just the ticket today. Apparently there’s a big hockey game at the Olympics that people want to watch anyway. At least hockey makes some kind of sense as a sport, we’ll give it that.

Kristal Demonstrating Fun Things that Porn Friends Do
2/23/10

Granted most people in the adult business probably don’t look at the Tiger Woods situation the same way as more "regular" folks do. We certainly don’t want to look at it as often, that’s for sure. It seems to us (at least the males) here, that no one has ever asked the question we really all want to know. How the heck can you be that famous and get away with it that many times with that many women? We don’t give one whit about "why" you did it, but if you could just tell us HOW, that would be useful information. Being (often decidedly) not one of the males here, however, D.Minion brings in her timely (and predictably weird) take on the whole sex addiction scenario. And the benefit of looking at question here? … We get to use illustrations. [FEATURED TAGS: Devinn Lane, Penny Flame Video]

Typical Office Attire Around Here
2/21/10

We’re not sure how many of you actually watch the world competitions going on up in Vancouver right now, but we do have a question for any of you that might be more knowledgeable than we seem to be. What kind of a person thinks it’s a wonderful idea to jump on a sled and fly down a winding tube of ice when the first thing that hits something if there’s a problem will be their head? Shouldn’t we all be just naturally wary of a sport called the "Skeleton" anyway? … At any rate, while pondering these more confusing questions, we’re continuing our own Olympic efforts with the Dee at KSEX saga, not only because it stands in marked departure from Mav’s latest entry, but also Dee has really great breasts — which never seem to be covered up by all that necessary winter clothing. [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, Kylie Ireland]

Dee. And Dee. And Dee. ... And Dee.
2/19/10

This seems to be the ultimate day for sweethearts, which seems to assume the possibility of bitterhearts, right? … And on a completely unrelated topic (Yeah, right.), we finally got a convention report submitted by one of our certainly dedicated professionals. Curiously it was not the most recent convention, but we’re getting closer, so that has to count for something. Also, Maverick’s new post does feature a great many U.K. stars, albeit in a more clothed perspective than we’d prefer. … Finally, just as a public apology here, the date on this post was supposed to read "2/14/10" to not only fit in with the introduction above, but also to coincide with Mav’s Two Year Anniversary of 247AdultStars. The person writing the New Stuff part happened to be on time. The rest of us that had to deal with a completely unexpected deluge of material, well, we were tardy. We explain briefly inside. You’d think by now that we’d have come to expect the occasional deluge from England, wouldn’t you?

Gee. It seems like about a third of the country happens to be buried in winter weather, so we made it our task to provide a splendid diversion today. Without going too much out on a limb here, we’re assuming that getting Topless with Tenaya, and Inari Vachs and Dee working on a nude advertising campaign, just might warm you up a bit.

Now rather a penny, we found a Penny one fine day on a Ninn set, and although we didn’t technically pick her up, we do find the meeting particularly relevant considering the coverage (so to speak) in the risqué queue right now.

"Absolutely,") … It always makes for a fun day when you get a chance to pirate an Abbott and Costello routine, don’t you think? … On the off chance that you’re one of the three people on the planet who don’t plan on watching the game (or the commercials) today, then we’re giving you a treat with Uncle Gibby’s brave entrance into professional journalism. More likely you’ll be looking at this some time after the final gun, and you’ll either be happy, or sad, or even just indifferent, but the AVN Awards Show 2010 will still be here to entertain you.

One needs to be well suited toward the adaptable in this business, and today aptly demonstrates how this can be a darned handy survival trick. We almost never follow a feature on one lady with another one of the same lady, but if that’s what seems wisest, that’s what one has to do. Consequently, Tori Black is Back (and we’d all love to hit the sack with her, come to think of it). In our own inimitable way, we’ve decided to call the entry, "Recipe for Catchin’ a Tori" — which probably shows why people don’t really line up to imitate us, if you want to know the truth. In life you have to play the cards you’re dealt, but darned if it doesn’t seem a whole lot easier play when the deck looks like this one.  [FEATURED TAGS: Tori Black]

Cold weather brings thoughts of bitter cold, too many clothes, travel woes, and general mushiness in many aspects of life, right? Well, in Southern California we do what we can to empathize with the rest of the country, but we generally only get as far as Aurora Snow before we forget to be kind and start thinking how we really don’t miss this time of year back in our home towns. Unless you’ve spent some time here, you probably don’t know it, but despite the vast number of people in Los Angeles, no one really seems to be “from” here. A dandy collection has migrated in, however, so we’re all planning on getting together to feel bad for those of you whose “drift” still means a bunch of frozen water, and not a clever idea. We’re planning on doing this at the beach, though, so odds are good you’re on your own this winter too. Sorry about that (theoretically).

One of the basic tenets around here for the last ten years has been that we should always show the adult industry in its actual light, however dim that may be. After all, only network television routinely scripts “reality” shows, and having a bunch of isolated writers, some making tens of thousands of dollars per episode, set about determining how things “should” be to “look” real has always seemed, well, silly to us. (Yeah, yeah … So maybe TV in general elevated ludicrous to an art form, but that’s another discussion for a different day.) For now, we’re bringing in another of Maverick’s “Cam Shows” — which essentially involve simply putting a video camera on a tripod and pointing it at the beautiful women currently teasing Mav’s still camera. Even though it wouldn’t qualify as a dazzling new incarnation of applied technology, when Cate Harrington provides the talent pool, you don’t really need to over pay people completely inexperienced with the premise to tell us all how it should play out. When you look like Cate, you can pretty much play it any way you want. Some things in life do in fact make sense. [FEATURED TAGS: AdultStars247.com, Cate Harrington Video, Exclusive Video]

Friday the Thirteenth supposedly brings an ominous ambience. We fear. We fret. Or perhaps we happily embrace a “reason” to just stay home and look at porn — whatever works. In our case the day has for some reason always been a rather refreshing one, perhaps in part to the leader named “Lucky” we conjecture. On this particular day, however, we attribute our good feelings to a decision to once again let Kylie Ireland be in charge, and let D.Minion document the event.

When Steve (or “Just Steve” to you older members) visits the risqué LA offices from the wilds of Colorado, people begin to reminisce. Much to Lon’s dismay, Steve happens to have been the very first member of the Risqué Commune Sites, before at some point we realized that we needed more help around here and enlisted his assistance. … More to point for today would be the conversation that began about Kristal Summers and her early days, and even more pertinent would be the actual visual evidence we have of that first memorable trip with the crew. Now Steve will eventually be heading back to work out of South Park, Colorado (Yes, there really is a place called that.), and all we’ve been able to advise him so far is to stay away from the little fat kid, because he’s always trouble, and never, ever stand too close to anyone named Kenny. … If you have any better advice, Steve would probably like to hear it.

Steve here (AKA SteveD, Just Steve, for today known as “Mav’s Not Here So Let’s Give That Guy All The Work” ), on location from Risqué central. While bemoaning the Broncos first loss of the season, the topic of Julia Ann came up. I don’t remember exactly how, but if you’ve spent any time with us, you know the topic can quickly shift from just about anything to a beautiful woman — and then to that same woman naked. At some point I asked if anyone knew how many tattoos Julia has, which was a trivia question at one of the member’s parties. I didn’t know the answer then, and I still don’t today, but if anyone has a guess, I’d be willing to personally check with Ms. Ann to see if you’re right. … We had to cut Just Steve off here, explaining how we really try diligently not to ramble, at least in the introductory section of a story. Understanding that, you might feel free to jump over all the whereas and whys contained in today’s presentation and just get right to that beautiful naked women part. We call it Sybian Symbiosis, and that should explain enough all by itself. [FEATURED TAGS: Juli Ashton, Julia Ann, Becca]

The Beautiful Naked Women Part

Two common, albeit amazingly distinct, definitions come to mind when thinking of “The Golden Rule” , neither of which seem to steadily rule the roost when it comes to adult movies, at least in a microeconomic sense.

Maybe it’s always men that make up these sayings, you think? [FEATURED TAGS: Julia Ann Video]
