I drink hot chocolate with all kinds of liquor in it and coffee with Bailey’s and Frangelico and vanilla vodka and nothing low-calorie.

Disembodied photos from Las Vegas
Because I am an intuitive and brilliant photojournalist, I will sometimes develop my film in my darkrooms only to find that some of my snaps appeared not only skillful and incisive but also divinely inspired. These guys had a fight. The one on the left was angry that the one on the right was getting [...]

Ashley Fires does
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 [...]

Weekend: Katsuni and Amy Ried in Texas, the Spyderz in Vegas
Katsuni will bring her frank and leonine ways to old El Paso this weekend as she dances at that city’s Red Parrot gentlemen’s club as part of its “Asian Invasion.” I always think of Katsuni as French first, but that’s because she always greets me with a selection of fine cheeses. As you are doubtless [...]

How I stopped worrying and learned to love strippers
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 [...]

"So I says to the guy, I says:"
This emancipated gimp was one of the many delights offered to visitors of Harry Mohney’s Erotic Heritage Museum. I rarely venture of the Strip while in Vegas (I am frightened by the natives and their rites), but this space is a delight for any consumer or scholar of sex culture. Clearly a labor of love, [...]

First contact: Tera Patrick spotted in Las Vegas
It’s always exciting to see sleepy, rustic Las Vegas transform itself into an expensive-drinked, scratchy-throated, droopy-dugged Whore of Babylon for four days each year when the Adult Entertainment Expo rolls into town. Then it goes back to its normal state of bewildered bumpkintude wherein everyone knows each other and everyone lends a helping hand. It’s [...]

Vegas, scabies, Vegas
I will be reporting from Las Vegas for the rest of this week, here for the Consumer Electronics Show (pushes up glasses) and the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (pulls down pants). This year’s show will mark my third as the editor of this website. Despite this, for every sultry, “Come hither!” look I receive, I [...]

2008 in Review: Books about Sex with Strings Attached
No tampon or puppet-fucking jokes, please As you can tell from my lack of command of basic English grammar, I don’t read much. And when I read, I don’t read quickly. So the five books on this list I read for work, and they each happened to explore the dark side of sex for money. [...]
Sassy gets gassy
While I don’t usually cover Las Vegas filling station events, not only is the opportunity to write the headline Sassy Gets Gassy too hard to resist, but you’ll also remember my strong commitment to finding you the lowest gas prices, even if you have to drive to Las Vegas in July to get them.

AVN Awards 2008: Reliving the dream
The AVN Awards show gets bigger every year, and this January the event was covered by Showtime, which is getting chummier and chummier with the adult industry and which recently broadcast the event. Here are some images from the show. “You’re one of those people I want to rescue,” Dave Navarro said to Joanna Angel. [...]

The Prime of Miss Jean Jacobs or: Would I lie to you, Honey? or: De Jean Vu
The reason that there is no Oscar presented for Best New Starlet is because novelty is not as important in Hollywood as it is in Porn Valley. in fact, Hollywood prizes known quantities more than untested talent. That doesn’t mean people wouldn’t rush to buy movies with Penny Flame in them (I would, if I [...]

Ashlynn Brooke to entice you to disrobe
Better than some clown with a camera phone and a handful of gummy Mardi Gras beads, Ashlynn Brooke will be roaming Las Vegas daring visitors to show her the money. “I Dare 2 Bare” is a 13-episode series in which Brooke compels women to strip through force of will, some cash, and the blandishments of [...]
Three days in the desert
