Was Abby Winters' white cotton invasion of the AVN Expo a telling sign that "real" porn content is overtaking the more polished (and expensive) brand we're used to? Or does everyone just dig chicks with foreign accents? (wired.com)

Exclusive: A Look At Michael Grecco's "Naked Ambition"

We were frothy with excitement about Michael Grecco's photo book "Naked Ambition" before it came out, but now that we've had it in our sweaty little hands, we can see it's even more pornfabulous than we'd hoped. Packed with many Fleshbot crushes and faves—and wholly unretouched—plus some very revealing commentary by producers and stars alike, it's like a big beautiful (and sometimes scary) porn snow globe in glossy color photos. Or perhaps, a nice time capsule? Even we noticed that some names and ~~faces~~ boobs have changed since production. Check out an exclusive gallery of shots from the book below.

The Best Of Swedish Erotica - In London

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 12:57:37 EDT

Everyone knows what glamorous jet-setting lifestyles we porn bloggers lead, but even we don't think we'll be able to wing across the pond to catch the Swedish Erotica exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. The Swedes, of course, have a reputation for freewheeling sexual adventure and leggy blonde temptresses, but that reputation stems mostly from their film output of the late 1960s and early 1970s—including such genre classics as "I Am Curious (Yellow)" and "Language of Love" (the movie that Travis Bickle took Jodie Foster to see in "Taxi Driver" ... with music by ABBA, no less!)

If you happen to be in London next week, we highly recommend checking these films out, because if there's one thing they do best (besides modular furniture) it's turn people on (though if you're expecting that other kind of "Swedish Erotica", you may be disappointed—it's not that kind of exhibition.) It's times like this that we really miss the Concorde.
