Joanna Angel’s AVN Nom Haul

Joanna Angel’s 13th year as the driving force behind Burning Angel has seen the company nestled comfortably among the most interesting and inventive porn outfits working today, even after outside challenger Wood Rocket appeared with total lunacy as their M.O. Now, with nominations announced for the 2016 AVN Awards and her an allegedly abusive former flame now exposed to his previously adoring public (more on that soon), Ms. Angel’s 2015 seems to be ending quite beautifully indeed. And it’s not just one or two crucial nominations that should have all at Burning Angel popping bottles and laughing in the face of their most paltry competitors, alt.porn johnny-come-latelys, and would-be indie-porn revolutionaries, but an incredible 28 nominations for her and her Burning Angel cohorts. What did BA do this year that deserves such recognition? Well, quite a lot, actually.

Angel, who’s also due to co-host the 2016 AVN Awards with Anikka Albrite come January, saw herself snag individual nominations for Best Director – Parody (for Making the Band), Best Web Director, Mainstream Star of the Year (which, if won by our favorite punk rock pornstar, would signify quite the sea change in public perception of “alternative” style and identity in porn), Best Porn Star Website, and, In a featured but clothed role, Best Non-Sex Performance (Dirty Deeds for Wicked Pictures). Along with fellow scribes D Nothing, Kara Pond, and Randy Stoker, Angel was recognized for her inspired writing of Dude, Am I a Slut? and Killer Kleavage from Outer Space. Throw in a nod for her part in Making the Band’s incredible rock ‘n’ roll orgy (Best Group Sex Scene) and Joanna’s doing pretty god damn well for herself this season.

Not to be overshadowed by its creator and guiding light, Burning Angel racked up a slew of nominations: two for Best Amateur/Pro-Am Movie (It’s My First Time and It’s My First Time 2), Best Anal Series and Movie (for Rock and Roll in My Butthole 5 and the series it belongs to), Best Anthology Movie (Fuckabilly 3: Pin-Up Pussy), two for Best Comedy (Killer Kleavage again, and Slumber Party Sluts, Best Continuing Series for POV Punx, Best Interracial Movie (Big Black Dicks and Tattooed Chicks 2), and, among a handful of others, Best Marketing Campaign – Individual Project for the headline-grabbing Ronda ArouseMe: Grounded and Pounded. Special mention should also go to Twin Peeks (aka Tommy Pietch), Burning Angel’s resident makeup genius, nominated twice this year for Best Makeup for his remarkable work on Killer Kleavage and Comic Book Freaks & Cosplay Geeks, both of which saw him turn everyday pornstars into the bizarre (and bizarrely arousing) creatures. And comic convention attendees.

Ever the gracious recipient of accolades, Angel had this to say in response to her and her company’s nominations: “I am incredibly happy that our nominations spanned over so many different categories. In addition to our parodies and our features, our Pro-Am releases, our POV movies and one of my favorite all- sex lines that we have, Rock and Roll in my Butthole was given attention,” Angel has said. “BurningAngel has been a labor of love for me for the past 13 years and I am so thankful for the success we have. I look forward to a kick ass show in January!”

Fan voting has opened at AVN HQ and if you’ve been as impressed as I with the output of Joanna Angel and her merry band of fucking freaks during 2015, why not show your support by casting your votes accordingly.

Mr. Pink’s Weekly Report – December 1st, 2015

mrpinks This week at Mr. Pink’s we did it all: anal, interracial, amateurs, and pounding the hell out of submissive British sluts. Oh, wait, no we didn’t. That was just the porn on the sites featured in this weeks brand new adult site reviews. First off, the amateur audtion porn at Casting Couch X proved the perfect compliment to Exotic4k’s super-high-quality interracial archive, both sites proving essential viewing for viewers with a sense of adventure and eroticism. On the other hand, there was barely anything “erotic” about Ed Powers cavalcade of early-90s amateur scenes or the dominated whores of Pascal’s Sub Sluts, but in the latter’s case, who needs eroticism when you’ve got one of the fiercest fuckers in the biz slamming awesome sub sluts senseless? (Oh, you do? Come back next week then, bro, ’cause it’s about to get real damn erotic around here.)

Club Seventeen Turns 40

For decades now Club Seventeen has managed to evade on very pointed question: why call yourself Club Seventeen when you’re filled with 18-year-olds? While a satisfactory answer will likely never come, the infamous teen porn emporium is concerned with something much more exciting than an explanation of the company’s name: its 40th anniversary.

Launching online back in 1995 and in a long-running printed format before that, Club Seventeen has made providing fans with stellar teen hardcore and now hosts top-quality 1080p HD videos and immaculately clean high-res photo galleries, but that’s just business as usual for this veteran porn vendor. On December 5th from 11am-4pm CET Central European Time – or 5am-10am Eastern Standard Time – Club Seventeen’s live webcam site, Seventeen Live, will host a broadcast of truly epic erotic proportions, a forty-girl pool party complete with drinks, games, and oodles of nudity and frivolity. Club Seventeen and Seventeen Live members are invited to partake of the revelry via live webcam feed and watch as Party Girls #1 to #40 do their best to reward longtime Club Seventeen supporters and thank those who’ve only just now made the leap and signed up. While the names of the attending girls haven’t yet been revealed, portraits show them to be a thoroughly sexy bunch of Euro hotties, redheads and blondes and brunettes, slim girls and thicker ones… and there’ll also be cake!

Providing viewers with four live cameras and ten girls to each – although surely with so much intermingling you lose track of who started where and with what in their mouth – Club Seventeen’s 40th anniversary bash is bound to be rollicking good time and, for once, a porno party that we, the general viewing public, can actually attend. (Well, sort of.)

Men’s Mags: The Web Generation

Earlier this month, Mr. Pink’s brought you word that two classic magazine publications targeted at male readers were going down for the count after months and months of declining circulation. As we bid farewell to UK-based FHM and Zoo, there is reason to be hopeful and think positively even while commiserating with mates over pints at your local. The men’s magazine, it appears, is moving online.

badoink

Launched back in 2005, BaDoink at first seemed like any other confused upstart porn studio. Hosting third-party produced content alongside its own carnal creations, even providing custom software to control your video streaming and downloading more completely than any other site could claim. BaDoink soon expanded to include pornography from ten studios, TV-playback capability via Roku, Chromecast, AppleTV and other devices, and mobile device and smart phone compatibility, as well as a slew of blog posts, articles and advice columns, and all sorts of news from around the world, related to sexuality and otherwise. Look at BaDoink today, though, and you’ll see it looking even more like a comprehensive entertainment experience for the heterosexual male: a Google Glass app, 3D viewing, 4K Ultra-HD movies, 360° “immersion” videos, and even content designed to be used with the Oculus Rift virtual reality device. There’s even a brand-new VR division of BaDoink that’s been appropriately named BaDoinkVR. Although still quite low on content having launched only five months ago, BaDoinkVR adds a hugely satisfying dose of hardcore VR porn to your plate, provided you either have your own headset or order the free cardboard VR goggles from BaDoink.

Stiffia is another network pushing towards a magazine-style arrangement. Currently hosting an amazing 94 websites, each offering both full-length and digest versions of original content, Stiffia has the whole porno movie element covered, but there’s far more to Stiffia’s success than that. News items flow to the site constantly, giving readers a break from beating off to learn something new, ogle Selfie Loving Latinas or Hot Amateur Cosplayers, read why Everybody Loves Thongs or follow your favorite performers on Twitter and Instagram via the built-in feed.

Stiffia is expanding as rapidly as it is winning over new viewers, so perhaps now’s the time to check it out and jump aboard, before it reaches critical mass and eventually jumps the shark. As for BaDoink and its new VR strain, look for more from Mr. Pink, including a review of the BaDoinkVR viewing platform and headset, next week.
