People say, “Grams, that Las Vegas porn convention must be oozing with sensuality. Are people just fucking out in the open? Do the fountains run with lube?” I am sorry to say that it is not like it used to be, when all of those things happened, when I would be greeted at Primm by [...]

Notable events this week: XBiz commissioned a firm to create the glossy State of the Industry: Researched And Revealed! pamphlet which also makes projections of the shape of things to come. Chapters deal with the problems posed by free content online, the dwindling DVD market, and the schism in the industry about what defines a [...]

There were about 40 (I’d say) missed opportunities and connections at this year’s AVN Expo, one of the biggest of which was bumping into Pride of Long Island Sarah Vandella then never seeing her again. We both had to go our separate ways! And lead our separate lives! But there by the Evil Angel booth! [...]

Here is chameleon Kimberly Kane at the AVN Awards red carpet. Sometimes she’s blonde, sometimes she is sepulchral, sometimes she performs without a head. She’s versatile. Kane wins my award for Not Hitting You Over the Head with the Fact that She’s A Porn Star. I bet if I saw her in the checkout line [...]

One of these things is not like the other – and that’s OK. When Madison Young walked the AVN Awards red carpet with other members of the Spiegler Girls talent agency (including Aiden Starr, Evie Delatosso, Dylan Ryan, Bobbi Starr, and Charlotte Vale) she, like Starr did with Gazzman of Harmony Films, wanted to walk [...]

As I look closer at what I once thought were Tera Patrick’s mesmerizing breasts, I notice that constant companion Evan Seinfeld has actually replicated himself inside her shirt.

Hendrix’ long-awaited/feared new boobs were fantastic, but I could not properly grasp them because my retinas had burst into flame.

To see Public Enemy’s Flavor Flav cozying up to Robin “Lifestyles of the Rich And Famous” Leach on the AVN Awards red carpet is to wonder at what point it would have damaged the other’s career to be seen together. 2005? 2000? 1996? It reminds me of when diverse classic rock bands like Kansas and [...]

Round about New Year’s Eve the boys in Marketing gave me a call. “Grams,” they said, “we paid a consultant 28 grand to come up with a motto for the AVN Expo but he fell off a roof. Can you help us complete it?” “What do you have so far?” I said. “Well, we just [...]

In Dr. Strangelove, General Jack Ripper informs Mandrake that he is unwilling to have his “precious bodily fluids” sapped and impurified. This is why I don’t like giving blood samples or having strippers try to grind one off through the pants of my expensive suits. That said, observe Belladonna Suicide (no relation) and Electronica of [...]

I never mistook Nautica Thorn for Mika Tan. I never confused Bree Olson with Ashlynn Brooke. I know the difference between a cabbage and a lettuce. But today I did something unfortunate to Hannah Hilton, seen here with Meggan Mallone. Hilton was at the Vivid booth, like Superman’s Fortress of Solitude had the Man of [...]

Ceremonially opening the 2008 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo with a pair of wood-handled scissors and a length of ribbon, Wicked contract performer Stormy Daniels, dressed casually in a black top and jeans (the rest of the Wicked Girls, like jessica drake, Mikayla Mendez, Kaylani Lei, Kirsten Price, and Alektra Blue, all wore dresses) at first [...]

The Sands Convention Center is once again hosting both AVN and CES on the same days, a change from recent years in which CES started earlier and left town by the time AVN was in full swing. But attendance is expected to be down for both conventions this year, and organizers are wisely taking advantage [...]

Nina Hartley and Jamye Waxman will host seminars on various means of attaining, sustaining, and delivering orgasms to the needy this weekend at the Adult Entertainment Expo. I have seen both women speak (and act) on this compelling subject and each puts her own spin on it. Hartley, so long deprived of orgasms, believes that [...]
