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]

Maverick has won the intra-office race to post the debut report on Erotica LA this year, or at least the opening volley. Our posting queue still seems to be surviving in a bit of a content food processor, though, so as a favor to some of the people working diligently on this side of “the pond” we have created a special page with a not-so-subtle hint as to what’s in store for mid-summer meditation around here. As for Mav, there seems to be a rather prominent theme surrounding British Baked Beans amidst the bevy of porn performers, probably proving once and for all that we’re potentially a bad influence.

6/27/09

Part of the interest in the adult entertainment world comes from the way that even though it can get a bit plodding, just like any job, every once in awhile things just come up in this world, and you have to make adjustments to your original plan. Even forgetting that whole “Man plans. God laughs.” philosophy for the moment, sometimes you really do get a chance to do something just a little different, and so you put whatever plan you used to have on hold for a minute. When such diversions involve Tori Welles, Ginger Lynn, and Christy Canyon, well, that brings up a whole other range of unique aspects to the XXX life. For centuries the prevailing intellectual theory seems to have been that history repeats itself, what with there being “no new things under the sun … yada, yada, yada” — although we will admit that intellectual theory sometimes resembles a lot more the latter than the former. That said, retrospect can provide both joy and education. Handy, that. [FEATURED TAGS: Tori Welles, Ginger Lynn, Christy Canyon, Exclusive Video, Risque News Insight]

How long has it been since we’ve had a leader that seems to have some actual grasp of real world knowledge? Now we’d be among the (potentially few) that would say that any successful politician must possess a level of intelligence, but we feel obligated to point out that a substantial chasm separates “smart” from “quick” on the mental scale. Those of you that were able to see President Obama’s press conference today got a chance to see one individual with both cerebral characteristics, and gosh but that’s fun. … Fortunately for all of you, we’ll leave the analysis to the plethora of newscasters that assume we all need the guidance and open instead our coverage of the just completed Erotica Los Angeles convention with our traditional “Two Days in Two Minutes” video presentation, along with a very few editorial ruminations. … All in all, even really, really smart people sometimes aren’t as interesting as a vast collection of scantily-clad women. Go figure. [FEATURED TAGS: Erotica LA, Exclusive Video, Maverick]

Dallying among the allegedly demimonde, we were, and having a darned good time of it, actually. While we’re busy collecting our various thoughts and illustrations on last weekend’s porn convention, we thought we’d take the opportunity to get one step closer on Dee’s KSEX anthology. It may seem that we approach certain topics with a bit of a plodding nature at times, but can assure you that should you ever need to plod in your life, doing so with naked pictures of Dee can really help make the enterprise more enjoyable.

Depending on what day you happen to be reading this, you may feel as though you’re in a bit of a time warp. As you’ve learned if you’ve been around a couple of weeks here, we’re all off in Los Angeles commingling with various porn performers at Erotica LA right now. However, since our historic attempts at setting updates to “automatically” create themselves have generally sucked, we just decided to go ahead and put your weekend entertainment online before we actually left. … So if it happens to be before the thirteenth of the month when you’re reading this, you’re not crazy. … Sadly, we can’t exactly claim the same mental status for D.Minion as we’ve had to actually split up one day on set with Night Moods into multiple entries, just to give people a reasonable chance to work through it all. Sanity, it seems, remains relative. Welcome to our world. [FEATURED TAGS: Night Moods Productions, Kylie Ireland Video, Capri Anderson, Dana Vespoli, Exclusive Video, D.Minion]

Before Maverick set out for his next bit of travel to sunny Southern California he felt it important to polish a bit of 247AdultStars so that it would gleam in his absence as well. He decided that adding a “Dirty Bedroom Solo” of Cate Harrington would be quite the appropriate way to decorate this time around, and having seen the video clips, we really would find it difficult to disagree. In a manner of attempting a truly symbiotic assessment here, odds are pretty good that this particular polish may have several people polishing various body parts of a decidedly more personal interest. It beats the heck out of a great many alternatives, though, right? [FEATURED TAGS: 247AdultStars, Cate Harrington Video, Exclusive Video]

Lon finishes up today with a wall of undulating vaginas. Now the reality of the situation probably didn’t turn out exactly as it sounds, but the description will make Lon happy, and isn’t that the point of life, really? Technically he’s finishing up his Adult Entertainment Expo story before he gets to Los Angeles to begin his Erotica Los Angeles story, but thinking of undulating vaginas simply sounds a lot more interesting. We plan on directing Lon to ask each star he meets at the LA convention about the state of undulation in their respective vaginas, come to think of it. We’ll let you know if anybody slaps him.

Somebody asked an interesting question yesterday, and we thought you might be able to help us with the answer. When Sting retires, will he become Stung? … Now Lon does not address this issue in his Part One coverage of the AEE this year, but seeing as how we’re all getting ready to head out to the next convention, we figured we should at least try to wrap up the last convention before we get hopelessly behind. We wouldn’t want these convention stories to pile up like we’ve got Dee at KSEX stories, after all. Of course no sane person could consider Dee’s behind “hopeless” by any means, but you get the picture(s) — and some fun ones here today too.

We’ve got interesting insights, cunning contests, tattoos, and other titillation. And it doesn’t break the memory bank, as some people around here forget can happen. We call it “Porn Tats and Other Tales” and we don’t even need to spend any more time introducing it.

The team has been working overtime doing another of those “Uh-Oh, D.Minion’s on set all day with women she likes” kinds of posts. If you’ve been around a while, you know what that means — pages and pages of story, 330 some odd photographs, and a collection of DM’s unusual videos. Still, it’s Paola Rey, Marie Luv, Jasmine Byrne … and some males. (They’re props. We don’t pay much attention to them.) We figure you might need the weekend to work your way through this one.

We’ve been shooting like crazy around here, putting new deals together, and generally playing with porn stars. Well Maverick’s got a clever and expanding section over in 247AdultStars that we just felt like we needed to draw some attention to. After all, who doesn’t like breasts? If you don’t like breasts, you should just skip this one. You might think about contacting a medical professional too. You’re not well.

Most porn companies probably don’t send out memos something to the effect of, “Can you remember the name of a poet who just strung together nonsensical strings of words without even the pretense of sentences?” And then again, most porn companies would not then have received guesses from across the world as to the elusive name of the author. As for the fellow presumably in charge, he couldn’t remember either, but seemed to reject the most popular choices of Lewis Carroll (Jabberwocky) and Geoffrey Chaucer (although pretty much everything written that long ago sounds peculiar). On the upside, at least we were able to explain how Capri Anderson and our continued dedication toward new technological skills tied in to this seemingly obscure question, so that was a bonus. As you’ll hear clearly for yourselves, should you peruse this post, of course, Capri does state clearly that she “was a Go-Go Dancer for Opium” … although we should probably mention that she may [does] mean a night club in Miami. Holding the bizarre local record, “Steve” responded that he didn’t have time to think about this question because he needed to build a chicken coop. Fearless Leader pretty much just got distracted by that concept and all that it could portend as he wandered away. Never underestimate the job security inherent in bewildering the bosses.

We suggested that he might sorry should newer members start confusing him with SteveH in some of the older stories herein, but then we realized that we learned to be kind to our elders, so now he’s Officially Just Steve. … To tell you the truth, we don’t have that many elders left, so it did seem appropriate.

After all these years of publishing on the web, you’d think we’d run out of different ways to handle the articles. Of course we don’t usually have Kylie submit 6,000+ words either, so we decided to conclude her Relative Violation account with the input of a second editor. Now while that may not be completely apparent to the novice member here, we can assure that this event raised more than a few eyebrows here at the office. Of course even if you do notice the switch, you can always just pretend you didn’t. Feigned ignorance seems to be a common strategy in life.

You’ll find it quite important to celebrate Cinco de Mayo today, not because you really believe that it’s the actual Mexican Independence Day (which it’s not), or because you think our old friend Lola is Mexican (which she is not), or even because you think all pithy Redneck insights stem from individual dances with a bottle of tequila (which they might, actually). You will want to celebrate because … why not? And if you’d just use that philosophy for other times in your life, like for days that end in “y” or something, you’d probably be a lot happier.

Well, you’re in for a treat today, as Kylie Ireland drops by with a special report on Violation a category into which none of the aforementioned concepts even fall, strangely enough.

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.

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.

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.
