Kimberly Kane Goes Brunette [Pornstars]
Posted in pornstars, photo, gallery, AB, Kimberly Kane, straight on November 11th, 2008
Who said that blondes have more fun? It most certainly wasn’t us—and it seems that Kimberly Kane doesn’t agree with that old chestnut, either. The celebrated performer-director and noted blonde has traded in her trademark look for locks of a different color. Get a peek at her new look after the jump… and see why blonde ambition isn’t the only game in town.

Pornography has traditionally been seen as a man’s game but—as we’ve noted many times before—as more and more women start working behind the scenes, that notion is quickly becoming outdated. Women are making porn (and making porn better), and we’re certainly grateful to see that glass ceiling chipping away (if not outright crumbling). And we’re not the only ones who feel that way: the team at XCritic is celebrating ladies making porn with a list of their ten favorite female porn directors. After the jump, see who made the list—and some samples of their work, too.
On any given night, the patio of Los Angeles’s famed Les Deux swarms with pretty young models in swathed in revealing designer clothes, being hit on by spiky haired wannabes bedazzled from head to toe in luxury street wear couture purchased at Melrose boutiques—from Rebel Spirit to Christian Audigier to Affliction. Made famous through a mix of celebrity and scandal, the club plays host to the bright young aspiring faces of Next Generation Hollywood and every worthless hanger-on that follows them. Guys with clunky Kanye-style glasses (circa the Harder Faster era) sport cocaine-inspired slack jawed stares while a colorful mesh of tattered faux-keffiyehs meaninglessly hang around their unsuspecting necks, devoid of any political significance.
It’s hard not to think of any porn movie that bills itself as “dark, squalid, and ominous” as missing another adjective: pretentious. But even after struggling our way through the copy that adorns the (rather gorgeous) box cover of “Hospital” along with assorted surgical implements and bloody smears, the only word that describes how director Benny Profane’s new Vivid Alt release makes us feel is excited. Then again, Mandy Morbid always makes us feel that way anyway.
The plot, such as it is, involves Our Mandy being punished for past misdeeds she cannot recall by an evil (and diabolically horny) hospital staff. It seems that Mandy and her con artist boyfriend (played by Fleshbot superhero and Mandy’s real-life beau Zak Sabbath) did some Bad Things which earned Mandy a semi-private room in the hospital of the title, where her doctor tells her she’s to undergo treatment for being a “drug addict and a sexual deviant”. Not one to let other people decide what’s best for her or her body, Mandy jams a pencil into his skull: “No one fucks with me! I just want to go home!” She is then rescued by her boyfriend and the two celebrate her homecoming with a hot threeway with Coco Velvett. And that’s pretty much it. End credits.
So we have to say that “Hospital” wasn’t nearly as dark and ominous as the box cover led us to expect. But here’s the good part: it isn’t pretentious either. To its credit, the movie doesn’t take itself seriously at all: everyone seems to be having an absolute hoot playing doctor and/or nurse—especially the delightful Caroline Pierce, who has a grand old time in a supply room with fellow bad nurse Sochee Mala and a strapon while Mandy watches confusedly (and turned on-edly) from a shower stall. (And we can’t even begin to describe how we feel about hot newcomer Marie McCray, so we won’t even try. Let’s just say hot and dizzy are the least of our symptoms.)
We’re not usually big fans of compilation DVDs here at Fleshbot: chances are if you missed something the first time around it’s not worth watching when it gets repackaged with other similarly forgettable scenes for a quickie comp release. But given their ubiquity in the porn marketplace these days they’re hard to ignore, and in these days of video sharing sites some companies have taken to raiding their own faults and adding never-before-scene clips to these collections to make them more attractive. And then there’s Hustler’s new “tribute” to alt porn, “Alt Chicks Fuck Better”.
“Alt Chicks Fuck Better” features several moments from the altporn movement just as it was starting to take on the porn mainstream, and as such it samples from such seminal works as Eon McKai’s “Art School Sluts” and the three volumes of his “Kill Girl Kill” series and maverick director Joe Gallant’s “Avenue X”. Among the several scenes you’ll find a younger Rob Rotten carnally indoctrinating Yumi before going on to take on an anti-alt stance with his Punx Productions, and a fresh-faced Kimberly Kane when she was just an insatiable sex goddess and not yet one of our favorite directors (and insatiable sex goddess).
