Fleshbot Birthday BabesTM: Kiara Marie

Gram Ponante — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 18:15:00 EDT

I met Kiara Marie at a party in the beginning of 2007 and liked her immediately. She did a couple of dozen movies and went away. I miss her. Today's her 22nd birthday.

It was at a "Porn Week" event in Las Vegas and Kiara was a contract girl for a company that no longer exists. She was 19 and the star of the show, surrounded by guys who had forgotten for just a few hours that, elsewhere, they'd be considered creepy.

Kiara has probably reconsidered her porn career - she's nowhere to be found in recent movies - so here's a hello and a happy birthday to the Googling civilian once known as Kiara Marie: Your work on the stairs really tied the room together.

One of the first pornstars who was actually, you know ... a star, Marilyn Chambers, is keeping busy with non-porn acting and maybe another run for Vice President. Hey, we could all use something to sex up our ballot next year now that we found out that that "Hot For Hillary" gal isn't really a lesbian. (projo.com)

Laugh all you want at the nerdy character...

Laugh all you want at the nerdy character Alfonso Ribiero played on "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air", but remember: he grew up to date a really hot porn star, and you didn't. Life can be so not fair sometimes. (wwtdd.com)

In Search Of Sylvia Kristel: "Emmanuelle" Lives!

Fleshbot — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 09:22:37 EDT

Calling her "the world's most famous porn star" might be a stretch for a generation bought up on Jenna and Tera, but there was a time when you couldn't swing a Betamax tape without seeing Sylvia Kristel, who created the title role of the French softcore classic "Emmanuelle" in 1974 and starred in several of its sequels throughout the following decade (as well as in mainstream releases like the classic "Airport '79").

In a new interview this weekend to mark the publication of the English edition of her autobiography "Emmanuelle Uncovered", Kristel talks about her post-"Emmanuelle" life and career, which despite several "cocaine-fuelled, drunken years living with (actor) Ian McShane in Hollywood" and losing out on millions of dollars in movie profits turned out to be a relatively normal one after all, even if she seems pretty wistful about the role that made her a star: in another interview published last week in the Telegraph, she says "You're much better off as a love goddess to die around the age of 40 ... You save yourself a lot of trouble."
