I spoke with performer/director China Barbie, who Tuesday was sued by Mattel lawyers in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. The manufacturer of the blonde, blue-eyed doll Barbie claims the performer made a “bad faith attempt to profit from Mattel’s Barbie trademarks.” The New York-based model, who is part African-American and part Chinese-American, says “I am [...]

In that he ceased publishing his sex-tourist blog last November, the Londoner traveling abroad known as Morally Diminished has a site full of quaint depravity. It is like reading “Heart of Darkness” except with Thai hookers, katooeys, and other strangers instead of the Congo. Read more after the gap. Spent all day smoking fat jays [...]

David Aaron Clark’s Legend of the Oriental Luv Motel! is a riveting look at one man’s realistic expectations of prostitutes. As Gram Ponante Towers, Aviary, Helipad, Salmon Hatchery, Kibbutz, and Centrifuge are in Koreatown, now I know what to look for. Read the review here.

Studio: Madness PicturesDirector: David Aaron ClarkCast: Mae Yung, Lucy Lee, Sin Nye Lang, Kylie Ray Portions of this review originally appeared on Fleshbot “All Oriental women are odalisks,” David Aaron Clark quotes Flaubert in the opening of his “Legend of the Oriental Luv Motel”. Odalisk is a Turkish word, referring to the girls that weren’t [...]

This picture of Lana Croft in Red Light District’s Obscene Behavior 2 reminds me of the scene in Shirley Jackson’s “The Haunting of Hill House” in which (lesbians) Eleanor and (come on, they’re so lesbians) Theodora clutch each other in a dark room against some unseen creepy thing outside, only to realize when the lights [...]

You remember in This Is Spinal Tap when Nigel Tufnel played several bars of a moving piano ballad in “the saddest of all keys” and then announced that the song was called “Lick My Love Pump”? You will agree that this picture is lovely, gauzy as it is and off-center. The title, which I’ve obscured, [...]

Without meaning to be political on this Memorial Day, “Mission Accomplished” was the first thing I thought to use as a headline for Uber Ego’s Scaring Michiko, starring the appropriately scared Michiko Minx and the unnecessarily-named Scary. My sympathies lie with Michiko in this movie. One reason is because she is refreshingly free of stereotypes. [...]

Maybe Jazmine Leih is a recent convert and she’s wearing her First Communion dress. It’s a wonderful time, once one has made that step. But something is wrong. Who is the dark and obscured figure behind her, jealous of her happiness? Could it be the Masons? How can she not be aware of this palpable [...]

As you well know, Gram Ponante.com is legendary (even in Hell) for its top notch Cenobite/ladyboy coverage. Who would have thought these diverse but wholesome species could ever come together? Platinum Blue’s Ladyboys in Latex seamlessly bridges the gap between Thailand’s most famous export and the Lament Configuration, revealing that it is not hormones that [...]

David Aaron Clark’s Dreaming of Snow, a two-disc compilation of scenes he shot here and there from as far back as 2002, is an excellent way of getting acclimated to his particular style, which seems to bridge the gap between 70′s movie theatre porn from New York and San Francisco and today’s by-the-numbers gonzo fare. [...]

The interesting thing about Shag Manila’s Philippine Teen, aside from the feeling that the scenes were shot in Martin Sheen’s hotel room in Apocalypse Now, is the vague disinterest these amateurs show. They are not exactly sullen but also not exactly enthusiastic. I fear they might be prostitutes. They also don’t look like Shay J., [...]

David Aaron Clark, the smartest guy in porn and chronicler of dirty girls from the Mysterious East, sends news of a ripoff at the hands of a starlet and her diminutive suitcase pimp. Jade Lieu (far left – she even stole my real name for her porn name) and her husband, the Mancunian Steven Leeds [...]
