Coming For A Cause: Just About Everybody You’ve Ever Masturbated To In “Defend Our Porn” [DVD Review]

Posted in pornstars, ponante, top, hardcore, gallery, dvd, dana dearmond, preview, AB, Belladonna, straight, sasha grey, eva angelina, Obscenity, Philanthropy, Free Speech, mia rose, DVD Review, Rocco Siffredi, the ass, Evil Angel, sandra romain, Tricia Devereaux on July 7th, 2008

Whether you want to donate to the Evil Angel legal defense fund or spend 10 glorious, disturbing, jaw-dropping, delightful, and carnivorous hours with the likes of Belladonna, Sasha Grey, Sandra Romain, Eva Angelina, and Tricia Devereaux (or, I imagine, both), you will love “Defend Our Porn.”

In April, 2008 Evil Angel founder and director John Stagliano was indicted on obscenity charges in the type of case that has become familiar to First Amendment watchers who are also porn consumers: several Evil Angel titles, as well as trailers for a Belladonna movie, were obtained in a United States county in which “community standards” seemed rigid enough to bring charges of obscenity. In 2009 the case will likely go to trial.

Notwithstanding (of course) that the titles in question arrived by request of someone over 18 years of age, as they did in dozens of more lenient counties throughout the United States, Stagliano now faces an expensive legal battle in a season that has also seen court cases against the more extreme JM Productions and Max Hardcore.

“Defend Our Porn” is a compilation DVD of scenes from every current Evil Angel director, as well as alumnus Jules Jordan. And it also features a brand new scene with Tricia Devereaux, Stagliano’s wife. Proceeds from the 16-scene, 10-hour, 3-DVD box will defray Stagliano’s legal bills.

What is remarkable about the Evil Angel case is that, though the company is undeniably hardcore, it is less so, and far more arty, than the year’s other porn defendants. A case against Evil Angel bodes ill for more mainstream adult companies.

So, as both a compilation “Best of” DVD and as a statement of rights, “Defend Our Porn” starts with a bang in a scene with the irrepressible Nacho Vidal from “Fashionistas Safado: Berlin”. No male performer can hold a candle to Nacho in the talking dirty department. “Why did you come here with underwear?” is one of his gems. Melissa Lauren handles this onslaught with fear and aplomb.

Then veteran director John Leslie presents a scene with Naomi. This scene is reminiscent of mid-90’s porn and Naomi is definitely the type of model who embodies that vibe and is beloved of fans of that era. Naomi, I am required to say, has an amazing ass. With it she coaxes a load from James Deen that I expect he is still proud of.

In an outdoor scene from Rocco Siffredi’s “Rocco’s Way to Love,” (I’m hoping this is a translation), Kelly Stafford performs in a headlight-lit gangbang. It reminded me a little of “Rebel Without A Cause” if that movie had ended the way I wanted it to.

“Do you want to see the throat fucking doctor?” a game Sasha Grey is asked in “Face Fucking Inc.,” a departure from the grainier previous scenes. What sets this scene apart is the Porn Valley-ness of the proceedings, clothing, and lighting, but Sasha Grey lends the scene star power and makes it memorable. Really, porn is about the people.

Nacho then returns with Avy Scott in a scene that would have been creepy even without the monkey.

Disc Two includes part of Belladonna’s return to guys, “Cock Happy,” as well as an Eva Angelina gangbang in which the 2008 AVN Best Actress is used most jubilantly. Mia Rose appears in a scene with Manuel Ferrara that establishes her as the anti-Teagan. Unlike the harder-looking or more Euro-style Evil Angel performers, the diminutive Rose is all Porn Valley, but uncharacteristically self-aware.

Disc Three includes a performance by The Unsinkable Sandra Romain (on a spotless beige rug). Belladonna returns deliciously in a scene from Jules Jordan’s “Ass Worship,” and, in the set’s one original outing, Tricia Devereaux comes out of retirement for a clothespinny scene with Derrick Pierce.

“I told you I was in love with my husband,” she says.

“That’s not what we’re talking about, is it?” he says.

Of all the great, blitzkrieg excerpts in “Defend Our Porn”, this final segment takes its time and benefits from it. Devereaux was nervous about this scene. She’s older, she’s put on some weight—all the things that make women uncomfortable, even in (or especially in) porn. But she looks great, of course, and, much as it is a signature pleasure watching all the teenagers flying around on the other discs, to watch grown women Romain, Belladonna, and Devereaux get (and give) the business in Disc Three is a real payoff.

“Defend Our Porn” is a fundraising effort but it is also a loadblowingly good value for all the diverse, quality porn it provides.

Ava Devine Is Crafty [Philanthropy]

Posted in pornstars, ponante, underwear, AB, straight, MILFs, Philanthropy, Ava Devine on January 21st, 2008

2008_01_21_AD2.jpgAs we noted previously, the tragedy of our time at the AVN Expo was that we did not get to get pawed by Ava Devine, known for her hands-on approach to meeting her public. The Naughty American reveals that the Divine Ms. Devine has become an expert ripper of other people’s boxers, and will be weaving the purloined underpants into a quilt that she will then donate to charity.

“Some guys wear boxers; others are freeballing it, but I get so excited tugging the dicks that I tug the underwear out of frustration,” she explained, adding that she also neeeds to learn to sew. But we know she’s determined.

Mary Carey Shocker: Knocker Auction [’tis The Season]

Posted in pornstars, ponante, boobs, news, politics, mary carey, plastic surgery, auctions, ebay, AB, Hype, straight, Philanthropy on December 4th, 2007

2007_12_4_mc.jpgBecause her town’s sanitation department does not allow heavy item pickup, Mary Carey is ebaying the 36D implants recently tweezed from her chestal cavity and donating 90 percent of the proceeds to breast cancer research.

All right, Mary, but why?

“… Because my grandmother had breast cancer,” Carey told noted gentlemen’s magazine Reuters. Just so you don’t think Carey has pulled a Jenna Jameson, the former California gubernatorial candidate just replaced the smaller models with 36DDD ones.

Nicki Hunter Returns! [Pornstars]

Posted in pornstars, babes, ponante, hardcore, AB, straight, nicki hunter, Philanthropy, Alana Evans, porn lesbians, cousin stevie on October 31st, 2007

2007_10_30_nh1.jpgLast December, during a scene with Alana Evans, Nicki Hunter started experiencing back pain. (”It wasn’t my fault,” said Evans. ) After the scene wrapped Hunter went to her doctor and, a few days later, was diagnosed with leukemia. Months of chemotherapy followed and twice the five-year porn veteran and mother of two came close to death. Through it all she would appear at various porn events dressed in a series of splendid wigs. Today, in remission, Hunter returned to pornographic motion pictures in a “Cousin Stevie’s Pussy Party” scene with Alana Evans, short-haired and confident as she poured Korbel over Evans’ ass.

2007_10_30_nh2.jpg
“I don’t want to work anywhere else,” Hunter said, describing the support she received from friends and the “liberated lifestyle” working in porn allows. Hunter and Cousin Stevie made sure to alert the other participants in the “Pussy Party” that she was there in spirit and body but to “take it easy on me” just the same.

2007_10_30_nh3.jpg
Hunter’s scene with longtime pal Evans was her first on video in ten months, though during breaks in chemo Hunter shot some “edgier” things for art photographers as she recovered.

2007_10_30_nh4.jpg
The movie will emphasize the butt and will most likely be called “Pussy Party Tushies”. Maybe the title does not adequately telegraph the significance of Hunter’s recovery, but we’re delighted to see her regardless.

Higher Education: Porn Valley Dispatch: Teach Ashley To Write A Business Letter

Posted in pornstars, ponante, paysites, college, AB, Lacie Heart, straight, Philanthropy, Higher education, Ashley Steel, Ron Royster on October 1st, 2007

2007_10_01_ashley1b.jpgThe archetype of the stripper working her (or his) way through college has become an uniquely American success story. And while we have no problem with naked pleas for money from those who are themselves naked, pornstress Ashley Steel’s new relaunched paysite, Send Ashley To College, makes us wonder how she is “pursuing a doctorate in psychology” when some junior college graduated her without first determining if she could write a cover letter.

- - -

First off, here is Steel (with Lacie Heart) from Ron Royster’s “Atomic Vixens”. So you know she’s serious about getting what she needs (in this case, Lacie Heart on the floor).

2007_10_1_as2.jpg

Steel writes on her website that she moved to Los Angeles and loves it, but times are hard.

After getting my Associates Degree from a Jr. College in Orange County, I’ve just started my 3rd year at one of the top 5 public Universities here in the United States. That’s right, beauty AND brains… it’s a rare combination, I know!

Didn’t someone tell her to spell out her numerals under ten? And that ellipses have three dots?

I heard girls could make money running their own websites online, so I figured I’d try it out.

Where else does one run a website?

College can get expensive and I am paying for it all on my own. Even with student loans, it hasn’t been enough to cover my expenses.

What is it? Better: “My student loans and my own contributions are not enough to cover expenses.”

2007_10_1_as3.jpg

My family is struggling themselves and cannot help me.

Subject/verb agreement. Family is singular.

In fact, I will be the first person in my family to receive a college degree! Coming from the place I’ve come from, this is quite an accomplishment.

Orange County?

We wish Steel great success in her academic career, and we hope the PhD. will be there for us when we have a psychotic break about the uselessness off our own liberal arts educations.
