Tory Lane seems to be evoking Gia Carangi in these pictures from her Juliland pictorial, where she is the Girl of the Month. Or at least Angelina Jolie playing Gia Carangi. But in the exhaustive (read: half-assed) research I did for this groundbreaking post, I notice that from Carangi to Jolie to Lane the breast [...]

Carmella Bing holding my drink, January 2006.

Activist and former sex worker (to me, she will always be a sex worker) Audacia Ray put together a public service announcement from this month’s Sex Work Awareness Media Training Seminar in New York. Featured are sex workers and former sex workers, including porn performer Dylan Ryan and Ray herself, making a series of brief [...]

To draw your precious attention to the value-added Reviews section of the Gram Ponante Family of Websites, here is a quick digest of movies I’ve watched recently: Kelly Madison, in her 40′s, is the best part of Dirty 30′s 8 The first rule of Fuck Club is, er. I guess it must be to make [...]

Daisy Marie and Ariel X from 2006. Happily oiled.

Porn actress Iphigenia Squirtz enters a long, low warehouse in Canoga Park. Squirtz, 31, is a mother of two and has appeared in three milf scenes in as many days. She is greeted by Rhesus O’Brien, production manager of Turgid Pictures. “Pictures of your kids?” O’Brien asks, not looking up. Squirtz produces several family photos [...]

One of the interesting ways porn companies make money is by licensing content to mega porn sites (all of which could do exponentially better by syndicating this website, because who looks at porn for the pictures?), thus Katsuni, Jenna Haze, Gina Lynn, and director Jules Jordan have signed on with affiliate program Premium Cash, which [...]

For some reason, freckle-bedappled Faye Reagan (seen here with Georgia Jones, who can’t believe it either) has joined forces with an excellent website with the unfortunate name Little Mutt. Sort of an Abby Winters but with guys lurking in the shadows rather than dingoes, Little Mutt declares that its team doesn’t “debase women nor are [...]

As previously discussed, Rob Rotten’s “Bong Load Girls” is now available on DVD as of this most relevant of days. I have this exact same couch. I keep looking for Jamie Elle in the cushions. I’m so wasted. Watch Bong Load Girls Now Buy Bong Load Girls Now Previously on Porn Valley Observed: A Rotten [...]

Casey Parker enters porn, me. 2006.

Photographer Michael Grecco brought a movie camera along when he was shooting the stills for the coffeetable book “Naked Ambition: An R-Rated Look at an X-Rated Industry.” Now, just like the Disneyland ride “Pirates of the Caribbean” became a movie and then a porno – “Naked Ambition” the book is now a movie about the [...]

The Huffington Post has compiled a list of porn parodies by XPlay, Hustler, and New Sensations and let their creators speak for themselves. “The level of commitment I got from the cast was just unbelievable,” said Axel Braun of Hustler’s This Ain’t Happy Days XXX. “Tommy Gunn kept his trademark goatee off to play The [...]

I was a voter for tonight’s X-Rated Critics’ Organization (XRCO) Awards, and I look forward to seeing (from afar, alas, I will be in another state) if I picked the right whores to win, place, and show. This is the 25th annual XRCO event, open only to industry members by a process involving scent recognition [...]

Anyone who has ever attended an adult awards show knows that there is no possible way for them to be improved. When one looks up “perfection” in the dictionary, one is greeted with an image of Max Hardcore’s dates to the AVN Awards. But that’s not a Japanese dictionary. Because the Land of the Rising [...]

Before rocketing to fame as the star of Screeched, Dustin Diamond was a teen actor on the show Saved By the Bell, along with another future porn icon, Elizabeth Berkley of Showgirls. The Smoking Gun reveals the modest hospitality requirements of the man who, just two years later, would provide the year’s biggest seller for [...]

“Look,” director Adam Rifkin’s 2007 film about the prevalence of security cameras and their use in capturing the interwoven stories of, among other people, hot teens discussing asshole bleaching, is getting some great viral marketing for its May 5 DVD release, including a stunt involving the U.S. Post Office. The marketing tells us that there [...]

Kelly Wells gets ready for her closeup, March, 2006.

Something about this week made me long for the rich taste of a Wendy’s Baconator, and I have been passed out atop a pile of their wrappers for the last several days. In an AVN story about how BBW (Big, Beautiful Women) titles are catching on with consumers, writer Nelson X wrote a hilarious but, [...]

The underrated Celeste Star and the justly-revered Justine Joli, March 2006.

Item 2 of today’s “I don’t know if this is fake or not” selection comes from Shanghai, where this article says there are clinics that offer a designated catcher for sperm donors. Following a health check and four days’ abstinence from sex or (more likely) masturbation, thus-qualified men can pick up $30 per pop at [...]
