Keeley Hazell, As She Was

Lux Alptraum — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 17:00:00 EDT

Not a day goes by that we don't find ourselves thinking fondly of Keeley Hazell, and those halcyon days when she'd take her top off in front of a camera. Keeley may never return to the lad mag life...but at least we can still enjoy these classic pictures.

"Christy Canyon: The Lost Footage"

Gram Ponante — Wed, 20 May 2009 11:30:01 EDT

In a sort of "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?" kind of way, watching this 80's-era new-to-DVD video of the delightful Christy Canyon makes me yearn for the days when she was in her porn heydey. Because she has Fleshbot Supreme Commandress written all over her.

Christy Canyon: The Lost Footage

Studio: Antigua
Director: Several
Cast: Christy Canyon, Crystal Heart, Sasha Strange, Mandy Wine, Chantel, Tom Byron, Randy West, Joey Silvera, Ron Jeremy

Review by: Gram Ponante

Watching this series of 16 never-before-digitized scenes featuring Christy Canyon, it is easy to think of her existing only in the past. The cheesy 80's porno music, the hazy video, the pubes. But Canyon is just 43 today, the same age or younger than several newly-minted milves or porn performers on comeback tours. Still, these scenes from the late 80's and early 90's are time capsules, and we think: They don't make 'em like Christy Canyon anymore.

One word that describes Canyon throughout this hastily-edited movie is ripe. Curvy and ready to go, Canyon teams up with Tom Byron, Joey Silvera, a transition-period Ron Jeremy when he was halfway between his 70's debut physique and the VH-1 staple he has become, ala Marlon Brando in "Last Tango in Paris," and a sweaty Randy West who has a strenuous romp with Canyon that makes the viewer happy for both of them.

Canyon bounces between a fresh and healthy eagerness and a signature 80's coke-fueled edge in these scenes, but you never have the feeling she's gone or about to go over the edge (now a popular host on Playboy Radio and an author of the first of two volumes of autobiography, Canyon has kicked the skinny powder).

The movies from which these scenes were taken are not named, nor are Canyon's costars, but each interlude is worthwhile, and viewers are treated to Porn Valley vistas as they looked two decades ago (in one scene, Canyon thumbs a ride from a motorcyclist. "Take me to the nearesst big city!" she says, but he balks. Had the camera but panned slightly to the left, we would have seen that we were already in Los Angeles and the biker wouldn't have to drive too far for his imminent seatback blowjob).

"Christy Canyon: The Lost Footage" has a ragtag feel about it, and maybe the scavenged movies were not deemed good enough to transfer to DVD when the technology became available, but each scene clearly shows why Canyon is a beloved star in the porn firmament, and is a great jumpoff point for further Canyon scholarship.

Goodbye, Marilyn Chambers—And Thanks For Everything

Lux Alptraum — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 17:00:00 EDT

Earlier today, we received word that Marilyn Chambers—Ivory Soap girl, star of "Behind the Green Door," and the first modern pornstar—passed away. She would have turned 57 this month.

In an age where it's not unusual for a run of the mill porn performer to have a resume including hundreds of titles, it may seem strange to think that a woman with only a few dozen titles under her belt could ever have been considered a major star. But Marilyn came from a different time—and in many ways, it was Marilyn who, with classics like "Behind the Green Door" and "Insatiable," paved the way for the starlets of today.

Though the height of her porn career took place during the 70's and 80's, Marilyn still maintained a connection with the adult industry later in her life, returning in 1998 to shoot "Still Insatiable" with VCA, as well as trying her hand at instructional videos and work on the production side of video.

We are deeply saddened by her death, we are truly grateful for the gifts that she gave the world. In memory of all that was Marilyn, we'll leave you with this clip from "Behind the Green Door."

The Two Faces Of Eva

Gram Ponante — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 16:00:00 EDT

One shaves her pubes, the other doesn't, one came of age in the 70's, and the other 30 years later, one allows double penetration and facials, the other demures. But they are both named Eva.

The classic porn company VCX has released a trunkful of Golden Age titles, including "The Second Coming of Eva," a delightful 1975 romp in which redhead Eva (Swedish Penthouse Pet Brigitte Maier) sheds whatever thin pretense of innocence she once had at a randy sham boarding school where the sideburns are as long as the pubes.

Meanwhile, at the dawn of the next century, the not-so-innocent (after all, she's a mom now) Eva Angelina stars in a series of vignettes directed by Jonni Darkko in which the thick, bespectacled, and xup-besotted Latina takes all comers in whatever entrance is currently available.

Of course, nothing connects these two movies other than the name and the fact they arrived at Fleshbot West in the same month, but it is interesting to see the tradeoffs porn has made through the years.

I, for example, would have liked to have seen much more of Brigitte Maier, but I was genuinely charmed by the sense of fun in "Second Coming."

And as for Eva Angelina, well, she's so winning in person that I think a movie would sell even if she kept her clothes on a moment longer. Sure today's Eva can deliver in one minute what it took the old "Eva" a popshot-free movie to get around to, so I guess what disappeared in the past three decades is the free time to wait for it.

Fleshbot Birthday Babes(TM): Erica Boyer

pweasels — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 12:30:01 EST

Back in the days when I got my news about porn movies from tatty magazines scavenged from the backs of bookstores, I saw a picture of Erica Boyer, whose 52nd birthday is today.

It was not any of these pictures, although the first one is similar. I don’t know what movie it was from, although at least part of it took place in a bar, on the floor. Erica was lean and shone with sweat. She might have been wearing a headband. There was a guy on top of her, at the top of a pushup position, but I don’t remember anything about him.

She was lying on her back, her knees drawn back, spread wide with her calves parallel to the line of her body, toes pointed like a dancer, her pre-enhancement breasts caught at the bottom of the impact from the thrusts. Her head was lifted up, looking down the line of her body at the point of penetration, and she was the sexiest thing I’d ever seen.

I probably held on to that coverless, ripped-up magazine for ten or fifteen years; I think my mom threw it away in a garage-cleaning years after I had moved out. I never did see that movie.

Happy Birthday, Erica, and thanks for the memories.

Room Service

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 12:00:24 EDT

Discerning travelers know that some of the best restaurants in the world can be your very own hotel room. The food that you can get delivered right to your door at some of these luxury resorts rivals most four star restaurants and you don't have to put on a jacket and tie to eat it. Heck, you don't even have to put on underwear! The only thing to remember is that some hard working guy probably had to bring your delivery all the way up stairs (in the elevator), so be sure to tip generously.

Playboy Playmate Archive Makes You Feel Young Again (Or Very Old)

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 14:00:27 EDT

Yes, plenty of websites with large collections of Playboy centerfolds have come and gone—but they're mostly gone, which is why we don't mind pointing you to a new one when we stumble across it. Every centerfold from Marilyn on down to 2004 (why it stops there is a mystery for the ages) and all one page so if you scroll very quickly, it's like your life flashing before your eyes. Or the life that began when you found that box your dad kept in the garage, anyway.

This Week In Japanese Nunsploitation

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 13:30:54 EDT

If you've ever wondered where Japan's love of bizarre sexual ritual comes from, you can rest assured that this is not a recent development. Yes, flogging, hot tub bondage, and filthy horny nuns are time-honored themes in Japanese cinema—at least according to the selection of classic DVDs available at Japan Shock. These old rape-revenge fantasies, samurai-mob murders, and S&M sex romps are proof that erotically violent entertainment is nothing new, both here and abroad. Heck, even Genki-Genki is old hat to the "Shoguns of Joy Torture." You just can't beat Japanese sex horror dubbed into German voices.

A Nut-Cracking Good Time

Dashiell Bennett — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 11:05:25 EDT

We know that it's not even Halloween yet—or even the Jewish New Year, for that matter—but it's never too soon to start thinking about the holidays. After all, the earlier your get your shopping done the bette—especially if your shopping plans include hiring an elf with some sort of keytar gun. And then there's the planning of your community production of "The Nutcracker" to worry about, which takes time energy and a wooden solider who isn't afraid to get dirty. Why does it only come but once a year?

Have Sex In The Toilet ... With Class

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 10:39:20 EDT

Most people think of grabbing a friend and pulling them into a toilet stall sex party to be a dirty lowdown act—which is exactly why it's so hot. But it doesn't have to be that way. Even prim and proper ladies can head to the nearest restroom, carefully hang up their silk blouses and lace bras, turn on some Ben E. King, and have a quiet, dignified lesbian romp. Even if a clueless plumber happens to stumble in and you decide to glory stall him right there on the floor, that's okay too. What's important is that you keep things civilized.

Tell Them Johnny Wadd Is Here

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 09:29:45 EDT

That's right, an original unsullied film print of "Johnny Wadd"—the first movie in the classic John Holmes series—was recently discovered in a storage locker and will soon be released on DVD. (It was never even released on VHS.) We hope collectors don't blow their ... you know. (avn.com)

Three Is Still The Magic Number

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 16:20:25 EDT

Despite all the evidence we've collected on the topic, we're not going to pretend that we're experts on how to throw the perfect threeway. But we're pretty certain that things will turn out demonstrably better for everyone if the third person involved is, you know ... awake. And when you switch partners, we also don't think it's necessary for the original member of the band to leave the room. Doesn't that sort of go against the spirit of the whole enterprise? It is a numbers game after all, and if you can't balance the equation properly, maybe you should avoid those higher-level math classes.

Flesh Flicks: There Goes The Election!

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 17:04:48 EDT

So now you know the shocking truth—all those senators, congressmen, governors, mayors, city council members, school board presidents, county treasures, and dog catchers who got caught in a compromising situation with an intern, secretary, and/or page, were not just weak-willed public servants who gave in to carnal temptations. They were victims! Set up and taken down by the notoriously seductive Deep Throat Squad. They ruin careers and lives just for a little fun and some dirty pictures. Still, we have to say that for a man whose career just spilled out all over his office couch, he does takes the news pretty well.

Still More Vintage Girly Mags

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:44:43 EDT

It hasn't been that long since we first took notice of the Vintage Girly Magazines blog, but we thought we'd check back in and see what kind of goodies they've unearthed since. Once again, they don't disappoint, with cover-to-cover scans of some pretty amazing skin rags that we never knew existed before. It's too bad none of these babies ever rose up to challenge the Playboy Empire, because you can never have too many good pictures of naked ladies and it would be much easier to get away with sneaking a magazine called "Salty" under your mattress. Just tell people it's about pretzels or something and they'll never be the wiser. (Gallery below.)

The Opening Of "The Opening Of Misty Beethoven"

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 12:35:00 EDT

Taking a trip down porn memory lane to watch the opening credits of groundbreaking 1970s epic "The Opening Of Misty Beethoven" can help teach us why it was so groundbreaking in the first place. For starters, it actually has opening credits, which was a lot rarer than you might imagine for porn flicks in 1975. It may also be one of the first instances of the popular "straight-buttoned man strolling through the red light district" montage: this announces to the audience that they are about to enter a gritty, grimy underworld of carnal pleasures. Finally, the young man writhing in ecstasy under the names of the art director and his assistant pretty much defines the term "porn mustache." If all that doesn't make the viewer want to stick around and see what happens next, we don't know what would.

Vintage Smut: Kitschy French Postcards

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 11:53:16 EST

Have you ever noticed that despite the fact that people buy, sell, collect, and exhibit all those postcards you come across in online galleries like this one, no ever seems to get one in the mail anymore? In our entire life we think we've sent and received maybe five postcards in total, yet the postcard industry continues to thrive despite our indifference. Perhaps that's because the business has always thrived on the type of folks who simply add pictures of naked women to their glossy paper stock and call it a day. This French site chronicles the time-honored traditions that have sustained the postcard industry for decades ... and proves our theory that anyone who's interested in collecting these things would never even think of putting a stamp on them anyway.

Vintage Girly Magazines: Now In Blog Form!

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 11:57:11 EST

We're a little annoyed at our father right now, because we just got another painful reminder of how he neglected us ... by failing to save all the useless crap from his childhood that would be super valuable today. No baseball cards, no stamps, no G.I. Joe dolls in their original unopened packaging. It's like he wasn't even thinking of us (or our eBay accounts) at all! Outside of a few random Playboy's, he couldn't even be bothered to save any classic smut from those bygone days. Fortunately, some of his generation showed a little more foresight and passed down those long forgotten, but still quite entertaining porn rags from the 1950s and '60s.

Most have titles you've never heard of and babes you don't recognize, but their ~~fapping~~ historical value cannot be denied, as these complete issue scans found on the Vintage Girly Magazines blog can attest. We still love our dad, but maybe that Father's Day card won't be quite as big this year.

Flesh Flicks: Christy Canyon Leading The Blind

Dashiell Bennett — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 17:40:03 EST

Do you think it's really true that when one of the five senses is lost, the others become more heightened in order to compensate for it? Because one of the five senses is touch and it never really occurred to us before that losing your eyesight, while awful, just might result in some blowjobs that felt pretty fucking amazing. Of course, the downside is that you would never get to gaze at Christy Canyon's world-famous rack and that's a fate we wouldn't wish on our own worst enemy.

Flesh Flicks: Dyanna Lauren Will Accept Your Trophy Now

We're feeling very awards-y today, for obvious reasons—careful, we're contagious—so why not celebrate with a look at soon-to-be AVN Hall of Famer Dyanna Lauren, complete with special bonus vignette featuring a few other porn legends? (Collect them all!) We're actually a little surprised that Dyanna was not already a member of the club, given her distinguished and impressive body of work, but all will be rectified come Saturday evening. So what was her secret? Maybe it had something to do with the oranges.

Vintage Porn Rags On Flickr

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 11:28:10 EST

Everyone is always telling us to look to the future, but we prefer to look back. Why? Because they don't sell porno mags with titles like "Wench" anymore. OK, so maybe that's a good thing—but the girls that looked out teasingly from the covers of those mags are a different breed from the girl you see today, and sometimes we get nostaligic for those days of yesteryear (even if weren't as, um ... alive back then.) As always, Flickr is a great place to track down images of those vintage beauties and we're enjoying this gallery of the covers and pages of good olde smut (with some bonus naughty movie posters.) They may not make 'em like they used to anymore, but thankfully having a nice (magazine) rack has never gone out of style.
