Urban X Award nominees announced

Urban X AwardsRacial divisions haven’t disappeared from our society and they likely never will, and while the porn industry sees a wealth of interracial hardcore movies made every year, race is nonetheless a touchy subject even in a business where everyone fucking everyone else is par for the course. While I haven’t come across any major complaints regarding possible racial discrimination at the annual AVN, XRCO or XBIZ awards, the existence of the Urban X Awards proves that there’s still reason to celebrate the contributions of African-Americans, Latinos y Latinas, and performers, directors, and producers of non-Caucasian ethnicities.

Due to be held July 21st at Beyond the Stars Palace in Glendale, CA, this years Urban X Awards is set to be an evening filled with rivalry and revelry as the best and brightest ethnic talents in porn compete for the dozens of fan-voted Urban X trophies. Nominees were announced just a few days ago and, not surprisingly, saw many of Mr. Pink’s favorite performers recognized by a significant industry body – for once.

Nabbing five nominations is this year’s returning host, Nyomi Banxxx. One of the most sorely undervalued and underused women in porn, Ms. Banxxx is up for Best Couple Sex Scene twice (A Touch of Seduction with Flash Brown, The Black Mother Fuckers with Prince Yashua), Orgasmic Oralist, MILF Performer of the Year, and the most prized award, Female Performer of the Year, which she took home last year.

Also up for five awards is the Japanese-American London Keyes, while Asa Akira and Misty Stone have nabbed four nominations each. The woman to watch, however, a woman likely to be the next crossover superstar, Skin Diamond, who is probably right now celebrating her six nominations for Best 3 Way Sex Scene (with Bella Moretti and Mr. Marcus in Hitchhikers 2), Best Anal Sex Scene (with fellow rising starlet, Leilani Leeane in Mike Adriano’s Black Anal Addiction), Best Couple Sex Scene (Black Diamonds with Sean Michaels and Porn’s Top Black Models 3 with Lex Steele himself), as well as Orgasmic Oralist and Female Performer of the Year.

With Skin Diamond and Nyomi Banxxx both impressing with their incredible oral and anal skills, in the immortal words of ELO’s Jeff Lynne, they’re “headin’ for a showdown!” To find out who’ll come out on top we’ll have to wait until July 26th, but in the meantime, there’s a ton of excellent ethnic and interracial porn right at your fingertips. Mr. Pink delivers!

About Time, Charley!

In a recent blog posted to her official website on the Puba network, everyone’s favorite 420-friendly cock gobbler, the incomparable Charley Chase told her fans that although she was very sorry to disappoint them, she had to cancel plans for her first anal sex scene due to a “cut in the butt from [her] cleaning regimen.” As she went on to explain in her May 15 missive, anal increases the risk of contracting sexual transmitted diseases and infections; to an STD or STI even the tiniest lesion is an open invitation to attack. Even though Charley expressed a great deal of regret and disappointment about missing yet another opportunity to show her devoted fans a sexual act that has in private brought her much joy, and even though she suggested her first anal scene, if it ever eventuated, likely wouldn’t be for such an esteemed company as Elegant Angel… well, feast your eyes on this:

Charley Chase anal

That’s right, folks, Charley Chase is not only about to join the ranks of adult performers of anal sex, but she’s landed herself the enviable position of being the cover model for Elegant Angel’s upcoming Big Wet Asses 21! By a wide margin one of porn’s most impressive anal series, Big Wet Asses has seen ass-stretching anal debuts from the likes of Gianna Michaels, Jayden Jaymes, Alexis Texas, and Sunny Lane; add to that list one of the most ferocious devourers or penis in the entire adult industry (Ms. Chase, of course) and there’s no denying Big Wet Asses is the best place imaginable to find Charley opening up her rear passage for none other than Manuel Ferrara.

Clearly thrilled at the results of his latest anally-focused opus, director William H. spoke of his fondness for the joint-toking, smoking hot buttfuck debutant. “Charley Chase has always been one of my favorite stars to work with. I have never seen her look more curvy, and her scenes with Manuel have always been incredible. We’re very honored Charley did this scene with us. Big Wet Asses is the one series we do that’s all about the fans, and I hope they’re happy with this cast.” That cast includes some of Mr. Pink’s favorite performers and while only Charley will be getting plugged for the first time, it’ll be a treat to pop in that Blu-Ray disc come June 12th and prepare for the main event with assfuck scenes from Remy LaCroix, Brooklyn Lee, Jessie Rogers, and Holly Michaels. Then, finally, after months and months and months of teasing, tempting, and tantalizing her fans, it’ll be Charley Chase’s turn.

Finally!

The Kickstarting of Misty Beethoven

Now that the HD format wars are well and truly over – how about a hand for the victor, Blu-Ray – you might think it’d be a cinch to release the unquestionably classic and culturally significant adult films that, throughout history, have closed to gap between niche hardcore porn and sexually-oriented mainstream acceptance. One such title, The Opening of Misty Beethoven, a hardcore adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, is on the verge of seeing a High Definition home video release, but it needs your help!

Produced and directed by adult cinema icon, Radley Metzger, The Opening of Misty Beethoven was one of the handful of hardcore films that approached mainstream acceptance in the sexually adventurous ’70s and now, thanks to the efforts of New Jersey-based film preservation and restoration company, 435 productions, Misty Beethoven is very nearly ready for her HD debut. Over at Kickstarter, the crowd funding website used by everyone from acclaimed musicians wishing to be free of record company restrictions and guidelines to aspiring cinema auteurs to robotics engineers intent on bringing the future to 2012, 435 productions is now asking for donations to the tune of $10,000 to realize their Misty Beethoven Blu-Ray project. Already more than halfway to their goal and with just 18 days to go, the future of this preservation project is completely in the hands of the fans.

With pledge packages ranging from $10 to $3,000-plus, donators can be intimately involved in the production process and receive anything from a woodblock print of Anthony Palumbo’s stellar artwork that adorns the DVD release to a Blu-Ray, DVD, poster, and soundtrack package to a framed replica of an award presented to Misty Beethoven after the film’s release in 1976 and even a producer credit! There’s also four DVDs worth of “raw, unfiltered” Misty Beethoven outtakes that have never before seen the light of day, t-shirts, and, absurd as it seems, martini glasses etched with Metzger’s nom de cinema, Henri Paris!

While it’d be pretty damn neat to be able to serve your friends cocktails in Henri Paris glasses as they stare in awe at your vintage posters from the Distribpix archive, it’s even cooler to be partially responsible for preserving a landmark production in the history of adult cinema. Hey, if film preservation is important enough to give Marty Scorsese a hard-on, it’s important enough for you to pay a mere $10 to ensure this vital project reaches fruition.

Smurfing Around with Hustler

This Ain't the Smurfs XXXOf all notable pop culture properties, few are less overtly sexual than The Smurfs. The Muppets have that dominating vixen Miss Piggy and even the Teletubbies offered up some rather sexual imagery (those things on their heads sure seemed phallic and Twinky Winky was a noted gay icon), but the closest it seems The Smurfs ever came to promoting discussion of sexuality was that scene in Donnie Darko where Donnie’s friends suggest Smurfette, as the only notable female Smurf, serviced the entire village; hardly a reputable journal of psychological or sociological inquiry. There you have it, Smurfs aren’t a sexually motivated creation. This Ain’t the Smurfs XXX, however, is.

Another parody porn from the reigning king of the genre, director Axel Braun, this seemingly uncalled for hardcore romp through Smurfdom centers around the not at all blue pornstar, Nicole Aniston. Slaving away behind the reception desk at the Hustler offices, Nicole is startled by the sudden space-time-continuum-destroying arrival of three little blue people on her desk. It turns out Brainy Smurf  (Jeremy Conway) rigged up a teleportation device and thrust himself, Papa Smurf (Jay Crew), and the delightful Smurfette (Lexi Belle) into the present day real world. Evan Stone, also plodding around the Hustler offices – so, no springing for elaborate sets or location shoots then, Braun? – presents Nicole with a challenge: if he finds the little blue critters, he’ll want them all to himself, forcing the busty blonde to distract him the only way she knows how. Fast-forward a touch and the Smurfs soon discover another of their kind (Charley Chase) and Hustler shutterbug Bill Diehl promptly shoots both Smurfettes in a lesbian scene that begins the show the superficial nature of their blue skin.

Soon enough, the bright blue penises arrive on the scene and the colorful makeup is really put to the test. Although it’s somewhat distracting to find yourself counting the globs of blue body paint falling off the performers as Papa and Brainy prove to Charley that they’re blue from head to toe, even beneath their tight white and red trousers. Lexi’s Smurfette isn’t denied a solid dicking, either, and the final sex scene pits her diminutive cobalt pussy against Gargamel’s (Barry Scott) impressive pink sword.

This Ain’t the Smurfs XXX is now available as a two-disc set (with bonus 3-D version and glasses included) in adult retail establishments everywhere. Those fully devoted to online video can see the bluest blue movie of all time at Hustler.
