At Mr. Pink’s Porn Reviews this week we celebrate the life and erotic contributions of August Ames, whose untimely death last week has the porn world grieving en masse. While looking at Ms. Ames best work on the blog, we also take new looks at two bona fide heroes of the hardcore world: “cumshot legend Peter North and the “Italian stallion” Rocco Siffredi, both men based on the excellent Fame Digital network and home to HD updates both exclusive and not, freshly produced and classic. Next week we’ll be examining some truly warped hentai from Japan and Europe’s messiest bukkake website. Join us then!

Adult Industry Mourns August Ames
Every now and then the porn world suffers a loss it didn’t see coming, the premature departure of someone whose promise was outmatched only by their enthusiasm. With last week’s passing by suicide of August Ames, the 23-year-old three-time AVN Female Performer of the Year nominee, the porn world grieves both for the woman born Mercedes Grabowski in Novia Scotia in 1994 and for August Ames, the endlessly energetic performer.
Quietly marrying director Kevin Moore a few years ago and only recently bringing their relationship into public view, Ames seemed determined to beat an extremely difficult upbringing marred by molestation and neglect. Talking on Holly Randall’s Unfiltered podcast in September, Ames discussed her battle with depression, multiple personality disorder, and other mental health concerns. It was a side of the star few fans had been aware of, which made the online furor over her refusal to work with male co-stars also performing in gay porn all the more troubling. A number of Ames’s friends and colleagues took to Twitter to denounce the fandom and the “bullying” and “harassment” they threw her way in the days prior to her death. The only clear lesson to be learned here, it seems, is that we can’t know someone’s private suffering no matter how well we feel we know them in other ways.
August Ames always lit up her scenes with a effervescence and energy that belied her inner personal struggles so, in tribute, here’s a few selections from a sadly brief but clearly accomplished career.
A trio of Bang Bros scenes pairing Ames with Mike Adriano gave fans glorious tours of her incredible Amazonian figure, landing at PAWG and Bang POV between March June 2014 and November 2015.
Also providing a visual feast for Ames’s still-growing fanbase, four scenes shot for Fantasy HD capture the tall brunette stunner at her fittest: Handcuffed Hottie, Yoga Deep Throat, Bare Necessities, and Heart Rate Hottie, the latter featuring a blowjob given to Bruce Venture that’s the envy of thousands of eager fans.
It makes sense to end with a celebration of love, companionship, and the most positive elements of family. August Ames and Kevin Moore kept their marriage out of the public sphere but released scenes together on multiple occasions, most notably for Moore’s Titty Creampies, Spandex Loads, Crack Fuckers, and Panty Pops series available from Evil Angel. There’s some clear chemistry within these POV encounters and, her big brown eyes gazing into the camera, they’re arguably the sweetest and most memorable of all Ms. Ames onscreen turns. May she finally rest in peace.
Mr. Pink’s Weekly Report – December 8th, 2017
This week saw Mr. Pink’s publish two reviews of epic porn sites on different sides of the mainstream spectrum. Pretty Dirty weaves tales of sordid neighborhood debauchery, rendering each hot-wifing or step-cest episode in rich, cinematic HD. True to its name, Fucking Awesome keep things simple and aims for maximum sexual impact, its 4K Ultra-HD take on hardcore proving as slick visually as it is sexually. We also announce a new partnership this week: Mr. Pink is heeding Harriet Sugarcookie’s call and will be providing exclusive guest reviews there over the coming months. Now, a moment, if you please… It has been a weird, sad week here in the porn world. As most of you would’ve no doubt heard, the passing of August Ames has performers, creators, fans, and followers around the world in shock. Is it enough to say that Ms. Ames was a performer far more skilled and capable than her 23 years would’ve implied and that her hugely premature departure is not a personal loss for many, but a professional loss for porn as a whole.
