The Sextape Situation: Part 1

A few years ago it seemed every female celebrity with any amount of drooling, ogling fans was the rumored subject of a homemade sextape, a pornographic movie shot by the participants who, aside from their noted celebrity, are otherwise everyday folks, not professional adult performers. You and your girlfriend shot some shaky iPhone footage that time on the commuter rail, right? Boom – that’s a sextape (although probably not a very good one). Stick a celebrity in an explicitly sexual situation and you’re looking at guaranteed millions in sales! Just ask Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee (or Brett Michaels) or Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian. Their sex tapes launched endless imitators but also landed them (or their jilted ex-lovers) hefty distribution contracts and the resulting profits. Then came Farrah Abraham…

Farrah Abraham Backdoor Teen Mom

The MTV Teen Mom hired James Deen to join her in shooting an allegedly authentic sextape that was soon revealed to be as orchestrated and emotionless and most celebrity ventures. Cue the backlash. Once one of America’s most ridiculed young women made a blatant attempt to cash in on her “private” sex life, sextapes seemed to become passe almost overnight. Abraham’s second sextape, 2014’s Farrah 2: Backdoor and More, was also beaten out at the recent 32nd AVN Awards by, of all people, the queen of MTV has-beens, Tila Tequila. While it’s clear both women produced their “amateur” sextapes for commercial release, not to privately record intimate moments, Abraham’s continued lies about the production, generally condescending and dismissive attitude towards the adult entertainment community, and the fact that Tequila not only included some backdoor action, but also its stars ejaculatory prowess. Undeniably inching closer and closer to actual pornography in the conventional sense, sextapes seem all but dead as a commercial adult, more so over at Vivid.

Then along came GirlsWay and the so-called Sextape Lesbians with another approach, one we’ll examine in full next week.

Karmen Karma: Deepthroat Champion

throated deep throat challenge

In the waning days of 2014, extreme fellatio site Throated launched a contest that had ten of porn’s most accomplished cock-suckers taking dicks tonsil-deep (and deeper) all in the name of proving their fellatial superiority. Adriana Chechik, Bonnie Rotten, Dana DeArmond, Karmen Karma, Maddy O’Reilly, Riley Reid, Sara Jay, Sarah Vandella, Dahlia Sky and Chanel Preston all lined up to deliver their sloppiest, deepest, and most physically remarkable blowjobs of the year. As is the nature of competition, only one participant can be the victor and this year Throated threw out something of a surprise!

Instead of crowning as the victor a well known open-throated degenerate like ultra-flexible Dana DeArmond or Sarah Vandella (who can wink at the camera with a balls-deep dick tapping her epiglottis) or even everyone’s favorite saliva-and-ejaculate-covered super-whore Bonnie Rotten, Throated’s voting viewers and online team placed the virtual crown upon the head of Karmen Karma. Awarded a $5,000 cash prize for her excellent skills, Ms. Karma immediately took to Twitter to thank her fans, those that voted for her, and, of course, Throated for the opportunity.

(Now that’s how you look after your fans!)

Congratulations to Karmen Karma on nabbing first place, and to Riley Reid and Sarah Vandella in second and third place, respectively. If it were up to me, you’d all be crowned champion deepthroaters and given… I don’t know, a giant sack of gold-plated dicks, I guess.

The New Face of Kink

Kink.comA new post-breakup haircut or wardrobe can bring you back from the brink of obsession and depression, enlivening your existence with the hope of prosperity, romantic or otherwise. In short: everyone needs a new look now and again. Kink.com, the most notorious adult website operating on U.S. soil, is no different. Having tackled most every conceivable (legal) fetish, kink, and sexually adventurous act, the San Francisco-based studio has obviously decided a new look is the best way to celebrate its continued success. Inviting a select group of loyal members to check out the new online digs, Kink has opened the doors to a beta version of its new website. Always interested in where Kink is headed, I stepped behind the red velvet rope and took a look-see for myself.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Quite clearly designed with tablet and smart-phone use in mind, Kink has dispensed with the majority of the text that once greeted members, instead thrusting them into an image-based update listing that’s more vibrant and eye-catching than ever. Hovering your cursor over each update (in the form of thumbnail images) strangely doesn’t bring any more information to light; for that you’ll have to make a selection and check out the viewing page. Video streams and download options are all easily accessible and see the same dedication to visual quality that has made Kink the Internet’s go-to BDSM dungeon. If you select a video stream other than that automatically presented on the page, it’ll open not in that same window but in a new tab.

Performers could still be given more info-rich profiles and there’s plenty of room for keyword tags (in a cloud?) and other one-touch navigation tools, but Kink’s certainly onto a good thing as far as clarity and ease-of-use is concerned. Tablet users will love the larger, more vivid thumbnails and the simple menu sidebar, but there’s still some changes to be made. Kink knows this, too, which is why the design is still in beta mode; they’re working out the, uh, kinks. If you’d like to help guide porn’s boldest and baddest fetish workers towards a brilliant new look and greater functionality for your preferred device, you know where to go to sign up, and start making the most of being a Kink.com member at the dawn of 2015.

 

Mr. Pink’s Most Promising Pornstars of 2015

2015pornstars

Last week Mr. Pink’s brought you a rather depressing list of pornstars who, though they dazzled us at the dawn of 2014, exited the adult industry as we know it for greener pastures before the year’s close. Thankfully, this being porn, there’s a pretty heavy turnover rate for new talent, which means 2015 is likely to see a bunch of newcomers elevated to the A-list (or at least closer to it). Here’s a short list of our favorite newcomers who we believe are destined for big things in 2015.

Mia Khalifa has already hit the mainstream news feeds due to her ethnic heritage, but the heavy-chested Lebanese-American is shrugging off aggressive death threats and aligning herself with the Bang Bros crew.

Ariana Marie and Ariana Grand might come to blows this year, both of them riding the pop success of Ariana Grande all the way to the AVNs and looking, from many angles, more like clones than colleagues.

Bailey Bae, she of the sharp ‘n’ short blonde ‘do and amply curvy figure, is enjoying much success at the moment, bolstered by her unique looks and lively, carefree demeanor.

Katrina Jade, with her facial tattoos, stunning curvy figure, and fondness for fetish work, could fill the void temporarily left by Christy Mack or create her own phenomenon.

Anya Ivy is leading the charge of new, young black women into porn’s ranks. The bustiest and arguably most beautiful of this new generation, she’s also the most natural performer and has already made a handful of scorching scenes.

Mia Li might’ve made a fairly quiet start in porn but 2015 could see her Kink.com work bring in newfound recognition of her tranny-fucking, taboo-smashing tendencies. Is she the next Lorelai Lee or something else entirely?

Who are you keeping two wide=open eyes on this year, readers?
