Jada Fire Gets On Marco's "Dark Side"

Gram Ponante — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 11:30:01 EDT

No, "The Dark Side of Marco Banderas" is not an interracial title. It is post-racial. And neither is it a somber and moody piece of porn. In fact, the viewer is left happy for everyone involved. Then there's Jada Fire...

The Dark Side of Marco Banderas 3

Studio: Mercenary
Director: Marco Banderas
Cast: Marco Banderas, Lexington Steele, Annette Schwarz, Jada Fire, Pinky, Sienna West, Mya Luanna, Alanah Rae, Diana Doll, Rebeca Linares

Not only is Marco Banderas one of the nicest guys in porn, but he also has great teeth. So his "Dark Side" movies give the false impression that, because the sex is nasty, its perpetrators are, too.

But Banderas, like cohort Lexington Steele and a few others (Steve Holmes comes to mind) really comes across Annette Schwarz's face as grateful rather than "dark" in this series of vignettes featuring things like a dream sequence with Rebeca Linares and Alanah Rae (you see, they're selling cookies) and a glorious romp with Annette Schwarz in which the German uberfrau seems to inhale Banderas.

Then there are scenes with the unabashedly bootylicious Pinky and the exquisite Jada Fire as well as zaftig landmadel Katja Kassin and Mya Luanna, who answer the door to find Banderas in a towel speaking Spanish. It almost seems like a couples' movie if there weren't so much assfucking.

(NB: Plenty of couples I know assfuck on a regular basis, but they don't watch porn.)

Banderas seems genuinely happy to be amongst this bevy of hippy hotties, and there is no dark side evident whatsoever. So you'll have to oblige the title even if there's never a dark moment.

Fleshbot Birthday BabesTM: Annette Schwarz

pweasels — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 12:30:01 EDT

Birthday Girl Annette Schwarz, who seems to update her own website, posts this as of March 2, 2009 on her blog: "I am available for purchase." Oh, frabjous day!

Apparently the rules about these things in Germany are different than they are here, but I think the German rules are better. I don't even know where the pricing schedule would begin for an Annette Schwarz, but I can tell you I would be willing to go quite a way up it to purchase the Annette Schwarz that I have seen in movies and on the web.

I admit that I am not all that familiar with the market for 25-year old girls who can do absolutely anything and still look like someone you would introduce to your mom once you toweled her off, but I am going to do some research right now and see what kind of green this is going to set me back.

I just hope someone hasn't purchased her already…

Shocking: Ancient Gia Paloma Movie Surfaces

Gram Ponante — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 15:30:00 EST

"I have the biggest asshole, or I am the biggest asshole?" says Gia Paloma in "Sex Gallery," a just-released Carlos Batts video from 2006. Paloma (who is not an asshole at all, just so you know) is just as delicious in this video as she is now, the only difference being she has spent the last few months as a new mom. On a day of new beginnings, come back with us, won't you, as we drop in on Paloma and her big 2006 asshole.

Our last few encounters with director Batts have been a series of incomplete epics, but in this five-scene effort also featuring Flower Tucci, Annette Schwarz, and Arianna Jollee, Batts returns to simple design and glamour photography, delivering a series of fun vignettes starring women any fan of April Flores (Batts' partner in crime) might find similarly appealing.

Two years can be a few generations in Porn (Annette Schwarz is now an airline attendant, for instance), so it is surprising to see Paloma in her pre-Tommy Pistol days, looking just as she did when he (and America) fell in love with her. Of course, she is not paired with Pistol in this movie, rather a dude named Barry Scott, who hastens to clarify that he is the asshole, not her.

We miss you, Gia Paloma. It would not be pandering to say "Come back whenever you feel like it."

Popshots Of The Week: Almost Wholesome Edition

Gram Ponante — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:10:01 EDT

Spring is in the air in Porn Valley ... and so are plenty of legs! Ha ha! Ha ha ha! Bet you've never heard that one before. (Oh, you have? A million times? I see.)

Regardless, the finest of what this region has to offer frolicked anew this week, knowing that six long hours of winter would soon be over. Here's the delightful Audrey Hollander doffing her folksy gingham dress for our delectation. See more snaps after the gap.

In response to Digital Playground's recent contract star announcements, we wanted to remind you of Stoya. That is all.

Here's Adrianna Nicole and Annette Schwarz looking Adriannettadorable™.

Speaking of doffing, young Britney Stevens doffed her frilly tutu on the set of Hustler's "XXX 28", directed by Hollander's husband Otto Bauer.

Whatever Alec Knight is doing, he is making both Kissy Kapri and Stevens react the exact same way on either end.

Finally, Audrey Hollander from earlier in the day, in the dress she took off for the picture that began this week's Popshots. Doesn't she look good wholesome?

Welcome Back, Lorelei Lee

Gram Ponante — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 23:19:48 EST

Because I am married to the church, it is permissible to have innocent crushes. That is why it was ensaddening when Lorelei Lee announced a hiatus from porn last year that I was certain would be permanent. I admit that I am dubious of some people who call themselves "sex positive", thinking that a more accurate term might be "fraudulent" or at the very least "intolerant", but for me Lee is the real deal, writing about her work as a porn performer with insight, vulnerability, and a sadder-but-wiser tone that still remains hopeful.

Join us after the gap to find out what she's been up to.

"I needed to write," Lee explained when I asked why she suspended her work for films such as "Interracial Hole Stretchers", "Upload", and "Submitted for Your Approval". "So I took some time off to focus on that."

The result is a gig with the Sex Workers' Art Show, a touring production that might be coming to your town in January and February. Lee joins "I Love Dick"'s Chris Kraus, Annie Oakley, Tre Vasquez, and Krylon Superstar, among others, on a 26-city tour showcasing staged readings and performances of the members' work.

The tour begins in Portland on January 17 and hits LA a few days later. Prior to this, Lee visited the AVN Expo to reconnect with a few friends.

Lee, 26, took her porn name from Marilyn Monroe's character in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes".

"You're not one of those performers who looks at the business with an especially jaundiced eye."

"No," she said. "I was never on the superstar track, but I also have a lot of people I really like, and I missed them."

Lee lives in San Francisco where I caught up with her as she was folding zines. She went to school and worked as a waitress during her break. She has said that she likes to check in and make sure that she can still do other things.

Lee reunited with fetish-friendly friends Annette Schwarz, Adrianna Nicole, and Madison Young in Vegas, and deems the reunion trip a qualified success.

"I always feel absolutely exhausted after the first day there," she said.

2008 AVN Awards Red Carpet: And the Line Goes On Forever

Gram Ponante — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:53:46 EST

200 people (and one Lorax) walked the AVN Awards red carpet last Saturday night, and the line of porn stars and their co-walkers lengthened down the hallways of Mandalay Bay for more than three hours. Altogether it was an orderly group, and we can tell you from personal experience that it was the press photographers who were the least well-behaved. Here we see a load of starlets (that is their official collective term) getting ready for the carpet media gauntlet, which ran from Dave Navarro at one end to Robin Leach at the other, mercifully passing through Playboy interviewer Casey Parker in the middle. See more snaps after the gap.

While Jesse Jane rovided interview wrap-ups from a stage just outside the Awards, Casey Parker was Playboy's Girl on the Floor, and as such she probably appeared in more photographs than anyone. By the end f the evening she was just as chipper as in the beginning. Here she chats with jessica drake about oing anal. ("You don't just dive in," drake said.)

Flower Tucci can always be counted on for an outfit that seems at once accessible and impossibly out of reach. Here she confounds us with a prize that could only be won after several frustrating hours of unlacing.

Marco Banderas and partner Lisa DeMarco (get it?) cut striking figures, but what was more impressive was Banderas' skill at turning just in time toward any camera aimed at him from anywhere in the room, as if to say, "Hola, Fleshbot readers!"

I hear things are just as bad up in Lake Erie.

We have never been sure of Robin Leach's function at this event, but we always see him. Leach's own cameraman was beloved of porn stars for asking Jenna Jameson and Tera Patrick who they were (thugh he did recognize Jameson beau Tito Ortiz). Meanwhile, Leach kept a personal record of the Not So Rich and Famous.

At the opposite end of the carpet performers were kept in yet another holding pen.

Former performer Joe Lawrence and signees of his talent agency were the last to walk the red carpet. Much of the press had left at this time since the awards show was two hours late, but no porn star was left behind.

Porn Valley Dispatch: The Coronations of Buttwoman And Slutwoman

Gram Ponante — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 17:50:56 EDT

As with regenerations of Dr. Who (in fact, exactly like that), there will always be those who cotton to Belladonna as Buttwoman or Roxanne Hall as Slutwoman. But time(lords) marches on, and this month Elegant Angel has crowned the new Buttwoman and Slutwoman, Brianna Love and Annette Schwarz, respectively. We approve, and are doing our best Dalek impressions just thinking about it.

So A Woman Walks Into A "Smut Merchant" ...

Gram Ponante — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 21:34:52 EDT

It is impossible not to watch Audrey Hollander; any way one twists her, the angle is appealing. She and partner Otto Bauer have put together a series of movies under the "Smut Merchant" line that are both extremely hardcore and gorgeous, which is a niche I didn't know could exist. Join us after the gap for gloryholes, voyeurism, and jewelry.

- - -

Here's Germany's Annette Schwarz in the traditional pose. Her mascara is smudged just between the hint of a black eye and full-on running down her face. I don't know why, but that it suggests neither appeals to me as a nice use of restraint.

You should see where she keeps the watch batteries.

Jennifer Dark is a staple in Europorn. Here she is being observed through a window that is not quite basement-level, not quite first floor. Must be that metric system again.

Another nice touch is Liv Wylder in the glory hole. Most porn versions of gloryholes don't allow room for the balls, and make the job a hell of a lot more difficult. This is the glory hole Howard Roark would have built.

Audrey Hollander helps everyone. Just outside of the frame is Dana DeArmond, who had nothing to do by comparison.
