Filmmaker J.M. Darling was kind enough to point us in the direction of the full trailer for "Asbestolith" as well as a bunch of other goodies. The clip above is a teaser for a documentary about artist-muse relationships starring—you guessed it—Sovereign Syre. We're not too familiar with artist-muse dynamics, but we know a lot about hot babe fixations, and we feel one coming on.

The video is a bit on the long side, but we assure you that there's plenty of eye candy to keep you entertained. Think about it this way: you're not just watching it for the tits, you're watching this for its artistic value. It just so happens that the artistic value is contained in the aforementioned tits. That's called "endowment" in dramaturgical terms.

We heard that much of the dialogue in "Alexander the Last" was improvised. Was the sex also spontaneous? Because if this is the direction independent cinema is headed, sign us up for acting lessons.

Though he's already recognized by Indie Nudes, we felt we needed to show him some love. After all, he shares so much with us: his home, his camera, his cock, and his faceless-yet-undeniably sexy wife (girlfriend? lady pal? trusting and intimate model?). Although most of the pictures seem to be black and white vagina shots, there are some interesting landscape nudes, hotel romps, and even hardcore (or not quite softcore) shots. We heartily suggest flipping through this selection we've provided you, and then checking out the rest of his work.

(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!)

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.

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!

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.
