Unknown Blogger Discovers Stoya's First Porn Video

Lux Alptraum — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 11:15:37 EDT

We doubt you've ever heard of her, but some blogger and "brand strategist" named Ultragrrrl sent around an email late yesterday informing us us that "[t]here's some chick named Stoya who is apparently blowing up in the porn world right now" (yeah, we guess you could say that) who just so happens to be the star of a music video by some group called InnerPartySystem. And why are we bothering telling you about all these obscure people (besides Stoya, that is?) Turns out that the video, which features Stoya getting eaten out by her boyfriend Beautiful Agony-style, was actually shot shortly before Stoya descended on Porn Valley ... which makes it her first porn video ever! That we know of, anyway; maybe some other unknown blogger type will point us to an even earlier one someday. In the meantime, take a peek at a piece of porn history after the jump.

(P.S. - According to this Ultragrrrl person, Stoya is also "even starring in this huge production porn that's a remake of Pirates of the Carribean" [sic]. Wow, can't wait to see what that's going to be like!)

Are the days of the free, public nudity...

Violet Blue — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 10:25:30 EDT

Are the days of the free, public nudity of our favorite hippie Fleshbot Crush Object Sequoia Redd in jeopardy? Well, we think whoever's telling her she's not allowed to dance naked for the Tequesta Drum Circle and that "They probably won’t let you in if they recognize you. (...) as the event has grown in popularity, is open to the public and particuarly that there are children present" is either a prude on the prowl or someone who simply can't handle the kind of jiggly beauty our girl contributes to such an event. But we're still standing behind Redd's right to display her naked yumminess anywhere she wants. Especially if that's where the best view happens to be. (sequoiaredd.net)

Celebrating Almost A Decade Of EroticBPM

Lux Alptraum — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:15:25 EDT

It's hard to believe that alt site EroticBPM is nine years old. In fact, just thinking about it makes us feel pretty ancient. But at least this gallery of hot alt girls is there to make us feel all young and spry again. (blueblood.net)

What makes an alt model and the founder...

What makes an alt model and the founder of Geek Girls Online tick? Altporn.net journeys deep into the mind of Athena Hollow to learn more about nerd culture, geek porn, and the difference between geeks and nerds. (Oh, and dorks too. Don't forget the dorks!) (altporn.net)

Fetish Nudes By Mark: More Than Just Attitude

Jonnobot — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:00:54 EDT

We used to get in trouble a lot when we were growing up for what our teachers referred to as our "attitude", though we never exactly understood what that was supposed to mean. And now that we've had a chance to examine the portfolio of the Buckinghamshire (UK)-based erotic photographer who simply goes by the name of Mark, we're more confused than ever: after all, we don't recall running around school topless in full clown makeup or with studded codpieces on our face, and we definitely would have remembered showing up for class with gas masks on or with giant clothespins clamped to our nipples. Somehow, though, Mark's very sexy alt-style models make naughty things like that look almost innocent—and a hell of a lot of fun. If that's what attitude is all about, we totally should've tried to misbehave more.

What makes someone an "alt" model? Real...

Lux Alptraum — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 14:50:49 EDT

What makes someone an "alt" model? Real boobs? Tattoos? Piercings? The right combination of real boobs and tattoos and piercings? The folks at Coilhouse examine the idea of alt ... and leave us even more confused than we already were. At least we think we know it when we see it. (coilhouse.net)

It's Michelle Aston's "Pad": We're Just "Crash"ing In It

Gram Ponante — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 13:00:18 EDT

In "The Crashpad Volume 2", a naked woman (y) sits on a bed. Another woman (x) invites a friend (z) into her apartment. "I got you a present," says (x), leading (z) into the room where (y) is waiting. Then (x) and (z) begin fucking (y).

Gay or straight, the question remains: If I got you a present—like, say, a bottle of Jagermeister—wouldn't it be polite to wait for you to offer before I started drinking it? If your answer is no, well, I want to be a lesbian.

"Such a good boy," the friend says to the "present," slapping her repeatedly. The first woman casually dons a strap-on and goes to work.

The latest in a series about a well-furnished apartment being used as a sex den by a group of Bay Area lesbians, "The Crash Pad"'s narrative is at first confusing because it is framed as a movie being watched on a computer by its editor. We watch as people come and go, trysting and remembering their hookups from the night before. At some earlier point, we assume, these women had names and back stories; now, all we know about them is that a key to the Crash Pad is a coveted thing.

Coveted but not because the Crash Pad is a lesbian utopia. The femmes sneer at the drag kings, territories seem fragile. And then Michelle Aston shows up! What is she doing here? Aston again does not take this opportunity to be a delicate flower; she treats her partnwer most harshly.

"Where do you think you're going, Little Girl?" Aston barks. The little girl gasps as the tattooed storm cloud of Aston descends on her.

"Crashpad" is clearly a movie made by lesbians who love lesbians, and the passion is catchy. Sometimes the filmmakers get so excited that we can even hear them whispering and we can see their cameras. All in service of getting us as close as possible to their subjects, which can't be bad.

It remains unclear at the end what that peeping movie editor is doing there, but one thing is certain: if the Abby Winters girls showed up at the Crash Pad, they wouldn't stand a chance.

All About Aprella, Renaissance Woman

Lux Alptraum — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:15:30 EDT

We've had a crush on the lovely Aprella for several years now. But what with her busy schedule of modeling, performing, appearing in video games, and speaking out for Amnesty International, and our busy schedule of, uh, watching porn, it's been a little hard to schedule a sitdown with her. Finally, though, after years of lusting after this multitalented powerhouse, we were able to grab her attention and get her to answer some questions. Our interview—as well as a gallery of photos so you can better understand exactly why we've been crushing on her all this time—after the jump.

* * * * *

Fleshbot: Back in 2005 we named you one of our Top Ten Hotties of the year. Has your life changed much in the years since we honored you—and if so, what's changed?
Aprella: Yes you did, and I'd like to take the time here to say "Thank You!"

My life is always changing and evolving. In the past three years I've worked all over the world from doing runway shows in France and screaming backup vocals in Italy to doing Fashion Week in LA and swinging high on aerial swing in my home town NYC. I like to keep my career and life moving. In 2007 I worked at least one week of every month out of the country. I love life on the go.

FB: You've been an artist's model, a nude model, a dancer, a singer, an actress, an activist, and probably even more things that we forgot to list. How do you make time for it all?
A: I just follow my heart and try to make the best choices I can for myself. Unfortunately I don't get enough sleep. The usual is 4 hrs or less a night.

FB: Where did you get your start as a model? Did you start as photographer's model and branch out into other areas, or did you follow a different path?
A: I was always interested in the art of photography. While snooping about camera equipment one day a photographer asked to take a test shoot of me. He then turned it over to an agency and it turned out that I was a look they needed. I was then booked for fashion runway shows and fashion editorial shoots. As I got more involved I discovered the world of couture high fashion and have since been hooked.

FB: How did you decide to model nude? Is the experience of nude modeling substantially different from modeling with your clothes on?
A: I strive to create more artistic looks with my work. I wouldn't call myself a nude model having almost never done a fully nude shoot. When I have done fully nude I am almost always covered with body painting giving the illusion that I am clothed.

With my modelling work I'm trying to create images that cause an inspired reaction be they nude and covered in body paint or beautiful high fashion. If I look at a photo and see nudity before I see creativity it's a nothing photo for me. I'm far more turned on by art clothed or not.

FB: Do you have any favorite stories from your years of modeling? Any photographers you love working with?
A: One of the funniest moments I've had as a model has to be when I was working with Gene Simmons of Kiss fame. Gene and I were in Times Square on top of The Hard Rock Café to do press for his show "Gene Simmons and The Family Jewels" Gene out of nowhere took my hand and made me grab his ass while he looked all coy with his finger over his lips for the cameras. Then the next day it was all over the celebrity gossip television show "EXTRA."

Every photo shoot and runway show carries its bag of fun memories for me. I love the people I work with and I have to mention one of my best friends, photographer River Clark as being my favorite person to do a photo shoot with.

FB: If you had to choose just one of the many areas you work in to focus on, what would it be?
A: I really wish I could pick just one thing to focus on. I'm always so jealous of those that have that one thing they love to do and they stick to it. Like my partner David Stoupakis. He's good at everything he attempts in the art world but he's known since he was a kid that he wants to be a painter and that's what he focuses on every day. For me it's just not that easy; in fact I'd say it's impossible for me to pick one area to focus on. So I guess I just focus on following my heart for a living.

FB: Do you have any upcoming projects Fleshbot readers should know about?
A: Zillions! I'll be home in NYC this Summer doing art sittings for Dr. Sketchy's and Runway shows with some local NYC lines. This autumn I'll be back on the road and am doing a ton of touring all around the world in 2008. You can keep up with me via my Events Calendar at aprella.com. See you guys soon!

Meet Sequoia Redd: Tree Huggin' Hottie

Lux Alptraum — Thu, 22 May 2008 13:20:53 EDT

Sequoia Redd calls herself many things — hippie chick, orgasm addict, chocolate whore, pixie, temptress — but we're pretty sure "hot chick with cute photos" would suffice. The cam girl, lifecaster, and tree huggin' porno star has won us over with her all natural cuteness. Hey, we'll hug a hundred trees if it'll get us just a little closer to you, Sequoia ... just point us in the direction of the nearest forest.

Burning Angel celebrated its sixth anniversary...

Jonnobot — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:10:10 EDT

Burning Angel celebrated its sixth anniversary this weekend with a kickass party at NYC's Rififi that you didn't go to, which we would totally gloat about if it weren't for the fact that we weren't there either. So let's just all console ourselves by drooling over Igor's pictures from Friday night together, shall we? (gallery @ drivenbyboredom.com)

Mandy Morbid Makes All Your Tentacle Sex Fantasies Come True

Jonnobot — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:28:07 EDT

As even the most casual of porn and kink fans know, tentacle sex has a long and storied history; all too often for the more literal-minded among us, however, those tentacle sex fantasies are usually depicted via brightly colored cartoons or clumsily rendered CGI. (Unless you're talking about certain infamous Japanese videos, but we prefer not to talk about those until after lunch.) Leave it to punk porn princess Mandy Morbid to make a tentacle fuck video that's actually pretty hot even if you've never given much thought to what Cthulhu's sex life might be like. (And for those of you who point out that whatever it is she's fucking is nothing more than a plastic skull and a couple of lengths of plastic tubing ... well, we told you it was a fantasy, right?)

Dirty Angels, Heavenly Bodies

Lux Alptraum — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:54:27 EDT

Another week, another community photography site that allows models and photographers to share and display their work. With its focus on all things goth and fetishy, Dirty Angels might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it should automatically gain some new fans for openly advertising its nudie pix ... and for not making us log in to see the good stuff. Finally, a site that understands that pictures of hot, naked and latex-clad models yearn to be free and not pent up behind some filter or greyed out and screened away from the public! (But seriously, people, enough with the "angels" stuff already. Can't our skin site titles start getting a little more creative too?)

Stoya: Back From The Future!

Jonnobot — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:30:45 EDT

So there we were yesterday afternoon sitting in the Stoya poster-plastered confines of the break room here at Fleshbot Central eating lunch from our Stoya lunchbox (which we totally had custom made and it is awesome) when all of a sudden an intern came running in with a copy of an email message that had just arrived: "Dear Fleshbot," the email said. "Here at Lazerbunny we are broadcasting from the future, and we knew four years ago that you would fall in love with Stoya. So we did this super intergalactic futurist dada vaginal view secretary photoset to keep you kids occupied while you're waiting for her next movie to come out. Hope you like it! Love, Stoyabot 3000 v3.0"

Yeah, we didn't believe it either ... until we saw the attachments they had included, which were exactly what they described. And since it's not every day we receive an intergalactic futurist dada vaginal view secretary photoset starring Stoya, we're sharing it with you below. If only every day in the Fleshbot Central break room was so magical.

Hey look—South American indie porn...

Hey look—South American indie porn site Pink Angels has (finally) launched a beta site! Take a peek at their free tour and see how they do it south of the border. Hint: It's pretty similar to the way we do it here north of the border, but you know ... different. (lovepinkangels.com)

Our friend Igor at Driven By Boredom tells...

Jonnobot — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 11:12:49 EDT

Our friend Igor at Driven By Boredom tells us that Burning Angel's JessieLee had a few of her scenes cut from an upcoming Playboy/Spice TV movie because (1) one of them didn't show her asking her partner to choke her during sex and (2) the other one did show Joanna Angel teaching her how to douche. We're all for fully consensual depictions of erotic strangulation, but shouldn't douching lessons be an acceptable thing to show in a porn flick if the director chooses to do so? These things are supposed to be educational, aren't they? (drivenbyboredom.com; more JessieLee @ burningangel.com)

That whole "Two Girls 1 Cup" thing was fun...

Jonnobot — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:04:13 EDT

That whole "Two Girls 1 Cup" thing was fun while it lasted, we guess, but we're glad to see our pals at Lazerbunny have gotten back to basics with the (relatively) more innocent delights of "Two Girls 1 Cock". We totally promise it won't make you gag. (preview @ lazerbunny.com)

Feminist Porn Awards Celebrate Porn We Really Like

Lux Alptraum — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 11:38:43 EDT

Remember those Feminist Porn Awards we told you about? They happened! Feisty, feminist films were screened, trophies were handed out ... and even better, some of of favorite films and performers ended up winning. Oh, and did you know that the Feminist Porn Award trophies are in the shape of butt plugs? Sure, there might be more prestigious awards out there, but we doubt there are any that are more functional.

See which Fleshbot faves were honored with their own anal pleasure devices after the jump.

Pink Angels: Viva Las Hot Girls With Tattoos!

Lux Alptraum — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 12:06:14 EDT

And while we're talking about the worldwide alt explosion today ... it looks like naked indie girls are taking over South America too! Or at least, the naked indie girls of South America have finally launched their own website, Pink Angels, with all the fancy trappings of a SuicideGirls clone. If you're tattooed and pierced—or at least kind of punk—and willing to get naked (and presumably Spanish-speaking), they want you to model for them. But don't expect any pesos just yet: limited though our Spanish may be, we speak enough to know that this site doesn't pay. (lovepinkangels.com; see also Pink Angels @ Myspace and Flickr)

Kiss My Bliss: Australia Does Altporn

Lux Alptraum — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 11:50:00 EDT

We may have been a little premature in our declaration of the death of online altporn: it seems that it hasn't died at all, it's simply up and moved to Australia. Case in point: Kiss My Bliss, a recently launched porn site that's arty, run by women, and looks like it wouldn't have been out of place in the heyday of sites like Fatal Beauty, No Faux, and all the rest. We got a chance to preview the member's only content; our thoughts (and a preview gallery!) after the jump.

. . .

Like many of its predecessors, Kiss My Bliss features photos of both male and female models—and in some cases, both at the same time. The photos have an innocent, girl- or boy-next-door feel; the vibe is not unlike that of fellow Aussie site, Abby Winters. Fake tits and Lucite stilettos are nowhere to be seen. And yes, there is pubic hair.

The site is largely, if not exclusively, softcore, with an artistic bent. Though there are shots of couples, we didn't see any hardcore action (or even anything close: hard cocks are few and far between on this site).

There are still some kinks that need to be worked out; most frustrating: the site's navigation is unintuitive and cumbersome. But since Kiss My Bliss is new to the market, we'll give it the benefit of the doubt. It's exciting to see some a new entry into the catalogue of progressive online porn—here's hoping that the Australian version of altporn fares better than its American cousin.

In a not-so-surprising move to anyone who's...

Jonnobot — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 18:51:27 EDT

In a not-so-surprising move to anyone who's been following the situation, it looks like SuicideGirls have apparently decided to sue former model (and permanent Fleshbot crush object) Apnea as a "competitor" along with her husband and photographer Lithium Picnic, though nothing's been confirmed by the parties in question. We're told to expect "shirts, banners, rocks and slingshots" to help broadcast her plight soon, though we're hoping things don't come to the rocks and slingshots part; this whole business is messy enough already. (Still, we'd like a shirt for our collection, please.) (livejournal.com/lithium_picnic)
