Long ago, life was clean/Sex was bad and obscene/Victoria was my queen

You can get away with so much poor planning as long as nudity is involved.

Sasha Grey will keynote the 2010 Adult Entertainment Expo, according to an announcement delivered the same week that Barack Obama was chosen as the winner of 2009′s Nobel Peace Prize. “Sasha Grey is one of the most thoughtful, intelligent, and original voices in adult entertainment today,” said AEE spokesperson Sean Devlin of the convention’s first-ever [...]

It’s so important to support the arts in a city that thinks more of a five-and-under on “Three And A Half Men” than it does my recent stage triumph “Gram Ponante Comes on Your Face.” But this Saturday a group of entities is getting together to sponsor Dark Carnival Night at Club Hell on Santa [...]

Nina Hartley, Carol Queen, and Lamalani, International Ms. Leather 2009, will grace a fundraiser Saturday night for the Woodhull Freedom Foundation, a non-profit organization that promotes sexual freedom as a fundamental human right. This is the first L.A. event for the Washington D.C.-based advocacy group, said spokesman Jim Rea, and he encourages members of the [...]

Because my relationships with our nation’s finest porn performers are intense and significant, I often attend events and talk with only three or four of them. And David Faustino. The Free Speech Coalition’s Sex, Drinks, Rock’n Roll Freedomfest extravaganza last week at the Whisky a Go Go was a raucous affair that raised $8,000 for [...]

It was a pleasure seeing Noname Jane at Erotica L.A. this weekend. I didn’t notice at the time that she was wearing a pentagram, but that might have been the way Satan wanted it. I first met Noname Jane under a different name (I was then known as Ronnie James Dio) in 2006 at the [...]

Erotica L.A. seemed packed the two days I attended, and that is an encouraging – though qualified – sign for Porn Valley’s most precious resource. The south hall of the L.A. Convention Center had been floorscaped to smaller dimensions than in previous years, so it was hard to move around. Crowds formed around Belladonna, consumers [...]

By the end of the year, Sabrina Deep estimates she will have been unloaded upon by 2,000 men in 20 cities. And she doesn’t mean they will have told her their problems. Nope, those 2,000 Sabrina Deep fans will come on her face, hair, neck, chest, ears, eyebrows, eyes, forehead and, more likely than not, [...]

In the adult world, it is easy to equate “sedate” with “failure,” but the relative calm and low turnout to last week’s XBiz Summer Forum in Las Vegas was merely a reflection of doubtful times for the porn biz. In isolated doses, it might have been any adult convention in boom times; there was nudity, [...]

Moments ago Ashley Fires won the 2009 Miss XBiz Summer Forum Pageant by dancing whilst twirling flaming batons barefoot. Fires can do everything porn stars can do, but this fire twirling is something she can really fall back on. Several women competed, such as GramPonante.com favorites Joanna Angel (pole dance to AC/DC), Kagney Linn Karter [...]

I go to Las Vegas several times a year: for the AVN show in January, the pre-Christmas Ornament Sale in March, the Livestock Exhibition in August, and the Slaughtering of Magicians’ Rabbits And Pigeons in November, in which the Strip is shut down and the gutters run with blood. If I were a Hollywood douchebag, [...]

Exxotica Miami, which in the past three years has grown to be the East Coast’s biggest adult consumer show, next month features Amy Fisher hosting “The Search for South Florida’s Hottest MILF.” And the contest is on Mother’s Day, May 10. I know of no other way for Dade County’s moms to show their devotion [...]

Voluptuous Biker Babes screened at the New Beverly Theatre Saturday morning at 1 (why I ever get there early for midnight shows still confuses me. It must be the inexpensive snacks. What cost me $15 at Watchmen at the Arclight the next night cost $3 at the New Beverly. And I’m still talking about snacks, [...]
