Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

Both Tenured and Interned types assisted in today’s trials and tribulations in the Tempering of Tenaya. Watching young talent develop can of course be one of the most entertaining aspects for members here, and if you’ve seen any of our other Tenaya posts over the last couple of months, you can testify to that. This time around you’ll get to peek in on some of the initial “lessons” that Tenaya undertook, and if you pay close attention, you’ll even see some tidbits of editor attitude popping up now and again. If you are new here, you have some catching up to do. … Maybe now would be a good time to note that we continue to like alliteration too. [FEATURED TAGS: Tenaya Video, Asia Carrera, Exclusive Video]

Asia Carrera. Not Tenaya, but tempting nonetheless.

The NFL Draft finally airs today on ESPN so we can finally stop talking about what some team might do given a list of potential decisions regarding several possible courses of action. Maybe. For our purposes, Maverick chimes in from 247AdultStars with something of a much more certain universal interest, that being Kristal Summers. OK. So technically he forgot to turn on the audio feed when recording the BTS video, but most of us won’t mind that nearly as much as listening to functionally innumerable football “experts” telling us all the good and bad stuff that happened today. … Just because you’ve done something professionally doesn’t make you qualified to explain, or even talk about, it. Right? If you don’t believe that, try listening to a porn star talk about sex some time. [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars.com, Kristal Summers Video, Exclusive Video]

Kristal as Charlie Chaplin

It’s Earth Day today, and what better way to celebrate the wonders of Mother Nature than by planting a tree for the health, edification and enjoyment of future generations? … Yeah, well, after you do that, you might want to drop back by here and take a look at what a new company like Night Moods Productions can get us to do. In some ways this resembles our occasional “Gee, you get to be test subjects for new technology” approach, actually. (OK. It may not “resemble” so much as it “exactly duplicates” that approach, but why be overly picky?) On the decided upside, though, if such experiments fall under the heading “Variations on a Lesbian Theme” and include A.J. Bailey, Monique Alexander, Capri Anderson, Tori Black, Samantha Ryan, Melissa Jacobs, Renee Perez, and Jenna Haze, you’re not likely to mind the examination very much at all.  [FEATURED TAGS: A.J.

Toy for Tw**s. (Word censored at the request of female office personnel who clearly have no sense of humor.)

We continue with our “Dee“lightful promises today as yet another installment of the Dee at KSEX history sees the light of day. And this is good, and makes Dee happy, which is always very good. … We also provide a much less subtle hint regarding future plans here as you get one of the most candid video views you’re likely to see on our new friend in “The Law According to Tenaya” — which probably isn’t anything like you think it might be. On the upside, not being able to predict beautiful women sort of refines their charm, doesn’t it? [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, Cytherea, Tenaya Video, Exclusive Video, D.Minion]

Tenaya says Hi.

With coverage of the latest Michael Ninn shoot for Celluloid Addiction, we’re offering up our own (certainly reverent) “Rocks of Ages” today. Honestly, it can become a bit difficult to maintain journalistic integrity when you’re watching a porn star give a lap dance to a Buddha. Then hearing one of the attendant starlets proclaim “Other girls have so much drama,” pretty much leaves one the choice of laughing out loud … or leaving the room and laughing out loud. Fortunately for us, we don’t claim much in the truly “journalistic” field, and as for integrity, well, we plan on looking that word up in the dictionary some day. [FEATURED TAGS: A.J. Bailey, Monique Alexander, Capri Anderson, Tori Black, Samantha Ryan, Melissa Jacobs, Renee Perez, Jenna Haze, Michael Ninn]

A. J. Bailey, a learned lass, as it turns out.

Apparently there are some alleged dawdlers out there who just now seem to be finishing up their tax returns for last year. … Actually we say “alleged” just to be nice, since we happen to know at least two of them personally, if you want to know the truth. … So for these folks we’re providing a temporary, and humorous, respite from icky tax terms. If you happen to be from California, you might just enjoy this Members’ Post a little more than usual, and you should be able to enjoy a beautiful naked woman in sunny Mexico, regardless of your domicile. Don’t worry, you dawdlers, “The sun will come out tomorrow.” (We should write a song.)  [FEATURED TAGS: Emmanuelle]

Emmanuelle in Mexico

So all the new servers were up and humming along happily. The Message Board was working again. The store could process transactions again. All was well in the world as we headed off to LA for the big shoot. Maverick had even carefully crafted his 2009 AVN Awards Show report, and was all set to go out like a lamb with it on March 31st. … But apparently in our haste to hit the proverbial porno road, we forgot to give Mav access to the new happily humming servers. … Well, you know what they say: OOPS.  [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars.com, AVN Awards, Exclusive Video]

Chick Fight!

We explain this unusual lapse in the time between our posts very thoroughly in the members’ section. Actually it might be more accurate to say that we “define” the lapse, and have a grand ol’ time while doing it. Have you ever had every single knowledgeable person you meet tell you not to do something, but you really, really want to do it — so you do it anyway? Well, meet A.J. Wells.

Capri Anderson, reminding us of someone.

Tempering Tenaya

Asia Carrera for Risque
The Tempering of Tenaya by Benevolent Leader So the trek continues as we’re plodding through all of the various big projects we have sitting in the queue, but considering our subject matter, we really don’t mind the work all that much, as it turns out. However, not all the “work” seems “equal” to the various […]

March 2009 Risque | What’s New

… With appropriate credit to Garth:

Back when the Old Stuff was New Stuff

3/27/09

Aren’t they peculiar, the turns life often makes? Somehow, and against odds no actually knowledgeable person could have taken, we have found ourselves once again mentoring an adult production company. This time, though, it happens to be a brand new one, which makes the challenge unique, and that’s always fun. If we do a reasonable job, you may well be hearing about Night Moods Productions — hopefully in a positive way, come to think of it. On the upside, we do find ourselves consistent with our most dear philosophy as we approach life’s peculiar turns: At the very least we should try and accomplish new and different mistakes.

Justine Joli providing visual aids. She's excellent at that.

Not being the type to (intentionally) go back on promises to Members, we’re serving up Maverick’s 247AdultStars exposé on Day Three of the 2009 AEE today. As it turned out there was a bit more “exposed” than perhaps some might have preferred, and that includes the Elvis sighting, as a matter of fact.

Pre-Exposed in the Expose
3/22/09

Our Newbie completes his task this weekend, as we wrap up the Uncle Gibby tribute to the 2009 AEE. He even did such a bang-up job on its companion video compilation that we demanded he allow us to double his salary — which if you know us at all means that this constitutes a guest editorial. We love our guest editorials, but the writers don’t honestly get much in the way of what most people would call “salary” — probably. Of course, we’ve never been overly concerned with what “most people” would do. As it turns out, that’s a very good thing around here. We’d spend most of our time being depressed.

Creepy by any other name ... is still creepy.
3/21/09

The Vernal Equinox visits us again, reminding us of freshness, hope, and rebirth. Consequently we thought about Phoenix. … What can we say? We’re clever that way. Also, it’s generally sufficiently entertaining to read D.Minion’s Phoenix account, that you almost don’t notice the decidedly strange slant that she can bring to adult situations. If, however, you do happen to notice, take some advice from the ancient ones around here: Just pretend you don’t. Simply concentrate on the sexually adventurous people here, then maybe make a nice snack for yourself.  [FEATURED TAGS: Phoenix Ray, Taryn Thomas, Michael Ninn, D.Minion]

Art more appreciated in the larger Members' version.

It seemed we should celebrate one of the few global holidays that don’t involve giving gifts, since that’s a tiny group. Consequently, Maverick finished up his Day Two of the AEE ’09, providing at least what may pass for edification in the process. We’re not sure about that, but we will tell you what we’ve learned about St. Patrick’s Day around here: You don’t technically need green beer; if you have enough of it, pretty much everybody at the party will be green.

Because of the weirdness of yesterday we didn’t actually get to the “bitty bonus” with Dee as soon as we wanted to. That said, there’s never really a bad time for Dee, and we did promise to keep plodding through her KSEX backlog. (OK, so we promise that every time she brings it up, but we always really mean it.) Also, we were obligated to make a couple of instructional additions to the new Message Board system, and we got a chance to blame Maverick for some more things. … All in all, this worked out as a fine addendum.  [FEATURED TAGS: KSEX Radio, Dee, D.Minion]

Dee Demonstrated her Slurping Technique
3/14/09

So we had perfectly wonderful news yesterday, cleverly coinciding with a rare second Friday the 13th in consecutive months. You see, THE MESSAGE BOARD IS BACK! Naturally this means that members can once again correspond with our favorite females directly, and that pretty much makes everybody happy. … Then we learned that a little bit of knowledge can still be a dangerous thing as D.Minion pulled rank a bit and “offered” her consultation services to the post. Well, we didn’t get all the “enhancements” done until today, but we still “Put the Who back in Whoo-Hoo!” [FEATURED TAGS: Dee, D.Minion]

A Now Rather More Relaxed Dee
3/11/09

Another Michael Ninn shoot is in the can, and at least one judge even says Michael has the right to use that name. A bit overcome with glee, though, we found ourselves in the midst of an unusually long movie trek over the last few days. On the upside that meant we had to spend an unusually long time on the set with Monique Alexander and Jenna Haze, though, so it was pretty hard to complain. Of course none of this has much to do with Uncle Gibby’s expose on Days Two and Three of the AEE, but it does give us more to look forward to, right? Oh, and because Dear Maverick decided that an autograph from Monique wasn’t worth waiting in line for, Tori Black has decided she’s going to “kick his butt” next year. Now Mav has something to look forward to as well. [FEATURED TAGS: Adult Entertainment Expo, Adriana Sage Video, Exclusive Video, Uncle Gibby]

Our new friend Titillating Tenaya trots before us again today. … OK. So she’s not technically trotting, and although she’s definitely titillating, she doesn’t really use the adjective as part of her name. However, if you’ve been around here for very long, you know well our fondness for lighthearted alliteration — always. And if you’re not a member yet, you really should think about becoming one. We’re fun. … And for those of you reading this already inside the Members’ Section: “Sorry. We have to pitch once in awhile, just to keep D.Minion from becoming D.Meany.” [FEATURED TAGS: Tenaya, Exclusive Audio, D.Minion]

Tenaya and her Titillating ... Parts
3/4/09

Apparently modern technology allows a humble young man in Wisconsin to fire a shot clear over the Atlantic Ocean and get the attention of a similarly humble man over in London, England. Wow. How cool is that? … Maverick read Uncle Gibby’s Day One of the 2009 AEE post, and immediately began his serious efforts at getting up the 247AdultStars version of the events. For our part we get to see them both, naturally, as we pretty much use any excuse we can to get it up. (As it were.)

A Woman Worth Firing a Different Kind of Shot At
3/1/09

Back when he first started 247AdultStars.com Maverick began by working closely with an English performer named KazB. In fact, they worked so closely together that Mav even created an entire section in 247 called “Kaz Picks” where Kaz did exactly that. Now back in the early days of the site, Kaz always “picked” various sexy women to perform with her, but as you’ve probably seen in your own lives, women change as they get older. As we see the Ides of March on the horizon here, Kaz has apparently broadened her own horizons, to, well, not include a “broad” — as it were. Mav asked if we were OK running a b/g sex scene on the site, and we said, “Awww. … Aren’t the newbies cute when they’re this age?” [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars, Kaz B. Video, Exclusive Video]

Kaz B ... picky, picky, picky
