True Tales: I Dated A Pornstar!

Lux Alptraum — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 17:30:01 EST

For all of you who've found yourself wondering what it might be like to date an 80's era porn stud (we know you're out there), we're happy to present this touching, romantic tale from Slate.

Okay, maybe "touching" and "romantic" aren't quite the right words to describe this story—but it's still a fascinating tale of ~~love~~ lust, semi-fame, and, yes, 80's pornstars.

And to all those still hoping to bed a porn stud, take heart. We're sure today's male pornstars are far better at relationships than this guy. We think.

Every so often we think back to those halcyon...

Every so often we think back to those halcyon days of 1992 when Madonna was sexy and interesting ... and every so often, someone comes along and posts a bunch of scans from her "Sex" book to remind us just how sexy and interesting she used to be. Suddenly, it's 1992 all over again. (thenipslip.com)

The Way He Was: Nascent Sexuality Polaroid Study

Jonnobot — Thu, 08 May 2008 10:40:11 EDT

We all have our own private map of those places that played a part in the development of our sexuality when we were growing up. But not all of us have made those maps as public as our pal Igor at Driven By Boredom has with a new project where he plots "the spots that gave me the most tingles" on a Google Map along with a Polaroid and a description of what made them so ... er, tingle-worthy: the construction house where he and his girlfriend would sneak into to mess around, the bushes at the Masonic Temple where he had the worst sex of his life.

As a much more personal version of other Google Maps projects we've come across it's the kind of intimate look into someone else's private history that we don't often get the chance to experience, and we even found ourselves getting a little misty driving around those DC suburbs with Igor ourselves. (Not to mention a little jealous—why didn't we have a Topless Polaroid Forest in our neighborhood when we were growing up?)

It seems you can't keep a good celebrity...

Lux Alptraum — Thu, 01 May 2008 11:10:16 EDT

It seems you can't keep a good celebrity sex tape down: over two years after it first caused a sensation, the Colin Farrell/Nicole Narain sex tape has resurfaced on YouPorn. If you missed it the first time, now's your chance to hear Colin Farrell's dirty talk. And unlike certain other sex videos we've heard about lately, all parties involved are still alive as of the time of this writing. (youporn.com)

Before They Were Famous: Hillary Scott In "Vanilla Killa 2"

Gram Ponante — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 22:51:36 EDT

Prior to Hillary Scott winning most major AVN awards this year and landing her million-dollar (sic) contract, she appeared in this little art film called "Vanilla Killa 2". "November 2006 was a heady time when I could take more risks," she did not say, not adding, "I wonder where all those people are now?" The film, touting the logline "White bitches best be afraid!" comes with a bonus disc featuring the indie "Black & White Fuck Riot #1".

Popshots of the Week: Flashback Edition

Gram Ponante — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 16:26:36 EDT

It is estimated that the average time a woman stays in porn is about ten months. In her honeymoon period, she might shoot as many as ten scenes in a week and can often keep up that pace—as long as her strength and sanity hold up—as she makes it around to every last porn company there is. This is usually accomplished in 45 days. Looking through a chunk of photos from 2005, I found that roughly 90 percent of the subjects were no longer in the business, including AVN's Best New Starlet of 2005, Cytherea.

Join us after the gap for some familiar faces, all of whom are still around.

Here's Trina Michaels, a performer of whom we're very fond but who has never become porn-famous. You can see her stripping around the country, for she has very strong legs.

When I took this picture in November 2005, I didn't know who this woman was and I didn't think to ask. After all, everyone else posing was just pulling a boob out here or there but this woman was stark naked. Two years later I met her on the set of "Barely Legal 75" and she was stark naked again! It was only after all those months of mental and physical conditioning that I had the presence of mind to ask her name. This is the delightful Jenny Hendrix.

Before the world fell in love with Joanna Angel, I would have probing conversations with her about her lunch and the Jews. Here she is during one of her first pornic trips to L.A., where she eventually moved (as everyone told her she would).

Finally, the ready-for-anything Flower Tucci outside Porn Star Karaoke, back when flashing was still O.K.
