Sasha Grey, Circa '88

Because we feel we've known Sasha Grey all our lives, we are sometimes surprised that not only was she born in 1988, but also that her 21st birthday is not until next month. More »

Even More Women Fight To Go Topless

And the photos from Saturday's topless protest just keep rolling in: over on the West Coast, LAist made sure to thoroughly cover the uncovered women for those of us who couldn't be there. Hopefully all these exposed boobs will help spark a little social change. Won't somebody please think of the nipples? (laist.com)

Everyone Wants To Be Naked And Famous: Gillian Wearing's "Pin-Ups"

In the future, it is said, everyone will be naked and famous for fifteen minutes. (At least we think that's what they say; we might have gotten things mixed up a little.) While modern technology has helped to make that goal obtainable through things like consumer grade video cameras and cellphone cameras, artist Gillian Wearing is also doing her part through her "Pin-Ups" series of paintings, in which aspiring models who responded to her casting call were transformed into framed objects of desire.

Budding porn magnate Mandy Morbid is also some kind of Los Angeles style icon. We're not sure why anyone would want to take pictures of her with her clothes on, but to each his own we guess. (laist.com)

Finally, a summer superhero blockbuster that we actually want to see! Just don't tell us how it ends, k? (marklisanti.tumblr.com - thanks Blakeley)

In A "Sex Galaxy" Not So Far Away ...

100 years in the future, when sex is illegal and the Grand Canyon is a ghetto, a group of astronauts embark on a mission that ultimately leads to self-discovery (with a fair amount of naked flesh thrown in for good measure). This labor of love sci-fi comedy exploitation film combines snippets of dozens of public domain B movies—as well as, horrifyingly, a U.S. government syphilis primer—to tell a story that stars everyone from Mamie Van Doren and Basil Rathbone to Fleshbot Crush Object^TM Puma Swede. "Sex Galaxy" premiers at Hollywood's New Beverly Cinema June 26; check out the trailer after the gap. More »

2008 F.A.M.E. Awards Winners

And in case all those photos we posted from the goings-on this weekend weren't enough, make sure you look at this event report and list of winners from this year's F.A.M.E. Awards in Los Angeles—and remember that if you're not satisfied with the fact that Jenna Haze took home the trophy for Favorite Anal Starlet, you have only yourself to blame. But then, why wouldn't you be satisfied? (xbiz.com)

Sun, fun, hot girls in bikinis making out with each other ... what more can you ask for from LA's Lushness X volleyball tournament? (Well, except no bikinis at all and a plane ticket to LA to be there for the next one. But you can't have everything.) (laist.com; more @ myspace.com/lushnessvball)

Kimberly Kane's "Morphine" Party: White Trash And Black Eyes Add Up To Altporn Paradise

Fleshbot Crush Object turned director extraordinaire (though she's still remained a crush object) Kimberly Kane and altporn majordomo Eon McKai threw a party this week at South Hollywood's Beauty Bar for the release of Kane's latest grungy orgy of opulent dissidence for Vivid Alt, "Morphine". The festivities included an onsite makeup artist who dispensed colorfully bloody black eyes to guests who later participated in the first ever (that we know of) Black Eye Beauty Pageant, gloriously emceed by Kane who declared it a testament to how delightfully white trash her new release is. Seriously, how can you not love this girl? More »

We're still recovering from all our back-to-back repeated viewings of Kimberly Kane's new Vivid Alt joint "Morphine" (yes, it's that good) before we get our review together ... but in the meantime, she'll be on hand at LA's Beauty Bar tonight for the official launch party if you want to drop by and say hello for us.

Vena Virago Is Your Friend, Not Your Dinner

"Eastside Story" directrix Vena Virago, aka Margie Schnibbe, will buck recent adult convention and shoot porn against an artistic backdrop rather than shoot some boring porn and call it art. Her canvas will be her new installation at Circus Gallery in Los Angeles, where she will film a girl-on-girl scene with her mural "Birthday Party" in the background. Her show opens May 17. (Photo of Dana DeArmond from "Eastside Story" is as adorable as it is unrelated.) More »

Phyllisha Anne's Hot Boxxx

We like it when porn stars open stores rather than just websites. The MILFy and pneumatic porntrepreneur Phyllisha Anne will cut the ribbon on Hot Boxxx, her new "clothing and more store for hot ladies in and out of porn" at 6915 Melrose Avenue, this Sunday. Good thing, too, because most of porn's hot ladies (and their boxxxes) can't find their way south of Ventura Blvd. for fear of bursting into flame ... and many do! The grand opening will feature appearances by Chasey Lain and Kelly Wells. (entertainmentadult.com)

Good Kitties: GwenMedia's Bondage Ball

Online fetish showcase GwenMedia recently hosted their first Bondage Ball in Hollywood at the Henry Ford Theater (which somehow seems to have become the only place in Los Angeles worth holding a fetish event in these days). Seen among the colorful crowd of freaks, geeks, divas, drag queens, acrobats, and assorted revelers grooving to techno and industrial thrash were such luminaries as Digital Playground contract star Stoya, director Jack The Zipper, and Joel Tucker of Stockroom.com ... and Isabella Sinclaire and Gwen Media performer Jewell Marceau performed an interpretive number which involved rolling around on stage dressed as latex clad kittens while licking themselves and pouring heavy cream all over each other. But don't just take our word for it ... we took pictures, which you'll find after the jump.

Boing Boing visits artiste and provocateuse Natalia Fabia's first annual Miss Hooker Beauty Pageant and sees lots of pasties and burlesque-style wackiness, if little by way of actual hookers. We won't spoil the suspense and tell you who walked away with the crown, but we will just say that we were expecting a lot more from Miss Squirt's act in the talent competition. (Then again, we guess it wasn't that kind of a pageant.) (video @ tv.boingboing.net)

Porn Valley (Adjacent) Dispatch: Kylie Ireland Makes A Burlesque Of Her Porn Career

Many of us can't keep a job; sitting here at the tentacle bar of the China Star 2, we wonder how many of these ironically-bandannaed fry cooks will be here next week. But Kylie Ireland has been a porn star since the last century (she won AVN's Best New Starlet award in 1994) and this weekend she will bump and grind her way into your heart in her very first burlesque show.

When it comes to strip clubs in downtown LA, there's classy and then there's ... uh, really classy. Being unrepentant sleaze fans ourselves we guess we'll just have to take Gridskipper's word for it, but it's nice to know they're there if we ever decide to treat ourselves to a fancy night on the town. (gridskipper.com)

Ah, springtime ... when the thoughts of UCLA college students turn to running around in their underwear. Given some of the things those crazy kids get up to during Spring Break these days, we guess this counts as good clean fun. (laist.com)

David and Victoria Beckham were recently spotted at a sex toy store in LA where they reportedly stocked up on "massage oil, personal lubricant, a Cyberskin vibrator, a leather braided cane and a padded black collar and restraint". Then they went on to do a bunch of stuff completely unrelated to sex toys, but at least the writer of this piece knew what part of the story was really important. (showbizspy.com)

The Voluptuous Feet Of Ed Fox (And Jenna Presley)

Photographer Ed Fox and his covergirl jenna Presley will be on (hand?) to sign copies of "Glamour From The Ground Up" at Taschen's Beverly Hills store on March 27. "A beautiful foot is an extra," Fox said. "The same as shapely breasts or a nice ass, and all part of a feminine shape. It's all about voluptuousness." I have never before thought of feet as voluptuous, or that they could be. Now I will require it. (video + book info @ taschen.com; more @ edfox.com)

Joanna Angel Does Kat Von D? (= Fingers Crossed!)

Those of you who had dirty thoughts while watching a certain episode of "L.A. Ink" last month (you know who you are) might want to know about next weekend's Musink Tattoo and Music Festival at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, CA: presented by tattoo goddess Kat Von D and crew, Fleshbot Supreme Commandress Joanna Angel will also be hanging out at the three-day orgy showcase of hipster chicks, ink aficionados and alternative psychobilly hair band tribute rockers. Angel is making some pretty interesting promises to fans that stop by her booth: "You'll get to see me or one of my girls get tattooed somewhere really inappropriate." If you wake up the next day with a hangover and a death's head tattooed on your ass, don't say we didn't warn you. - JG More »
