Farewell, Miss Alina

alina1

Once in a while, the adult industry is blessed with the work of a performer whose attractiveness, enthusiasm, and screen presence. Alina Li was such a performer. “Was”? Is she dead? No, thank the maker, but she has apparently given porn the proverbial shaft in favor of a a life free from porn’s unique circumstances and stresses. Initially, this tweet was all the evidence we had of Alina’s retirement:

Now, the selling of one’s professional wardrobe doesn’t necessarily equal retirement, but Alina (apparently) later confirmed that she was moving on from her brief stint in porn with a post on the AdultDVDTalk forums, telling posters there that, although her recent (and extremely “adventurous”) scene for Kink site Public Disgrace didn’t send her running for the hills, it didn’t help. Having seen the video in question, it’s not hard to see how Alina could see it as the logical conclusion to her brief stint in porn. After all, having your clothes torn off in a crowded convenience store as total strangers grope, grab, spit on, and photograph you, as Bill Bailey’s cock fills your throat and someone’s fingers enter elsewhere, leaving you shaking and crying in the aisles is bound to be a notable experience one way or the other. In her AdultDVDTalk post, Alina spoke directly to disappointed fans: “The Kink scene really pushed me out of the line and I told myself ‘That’s it. What’s the point of it? I am sick of this.” She doesn’t blame the San Francisco-based fetish studio, though, and says “they were doing their job. It was me that stopped enjoying and loving it.”

 

Those of you feeling the loss of Alina Li particularly harshly would do well to remember that the starlet was only getting bigger and better, and that her very first (and now only) cover feature has just been released. Thanks, Jules Jordan, this will be a perfectly fitting memorial to an incredible talent, truly one of 2014’s premiere, if not Ultimate, Fuck Toys.

Adios, Alina, and all the best wherever you go from here.

Kpop’s (Very) Little Porn Problem

In the Western World of popular music, a scandal generally involves rampant infidelity, horrific drug abuse, a leaked sex tape, or prison time, but in South Korea, pop idols can be torn from their perch above the rest of us plebs by such seemingly innocuous things as going on dates or taking prescription medication. For one idol, Mina of the group AOA (Ace of Angels), her involvement in a recent pornography “scandal” was entirely at the hands of others.

For those of you needing an introduction, here’s Mina holding mailed entries for an AOA contest:

And here’s a similar shot of Mina used to advertise an adult service on a popular US-based XXX tube video site:

So how did a seemingly innocent 20-year-old bass playing girl group member come to be used as a promotional tool for a shady XXX business? It seems those responsible for the ad graphic found the above contest announcement video on YouTube and, seeing Mina’s curious attempt at miming a drum roll, stole, trimmed, and giffed the following crucial moment:

AOA’s record company, FNC Entertainment, reported the matter to police and, strangely, seem to have left it at that. Netizen reports are suggesting that the offending ad, stolen from a video shot when Mina was only 18, has been removed. Although perhaps they’re just adjusting the ad to correct Mina’s nationality from Chinese to Korean, but I doubt it.

Jessie Andrews First Annual Assfucking

Jessie Andrews

Jessie Andrews doesn’t do things the conventional way. After flitting around LA and entering porn (earning herself an AVN Best Actress Award in the process), Andrews took an odd left turn and launched her own jewelry line called Bagatiba, started booking DJing gigs, and appeared in the video for Borgore’s track ‘Decisions‘ with her new pal Miley Cyrus. So, when Andrews recently announced her upcoming anal debut, a slightly unusual approach was to be expected.

Maddy O’Reilly threw porn fans into a tizzy when ‘Maddy,’ the HardX feature holding her anal debut, was released after much pomp and circumstance, only to shoot anal scenes almost immediately after ‘Maddy’s’ release for Jules Jordan, Evil Angel, Devil’s Film, and Ass Factory. Ms. O’Reilly can now be seen having her butt banged on most major hardcore networks of note, but that won’t be the case for Jessie Andrews. Signing a unique deal with Girlfriends Films, Andrews is set to start in The Gardner and will be performing her first ever anal intercourse scene in the picture. The unique element of the deal? Andrews is contractually prevented from performing another anal scene until at least one year after The Gardner’s September 2014 release. Marveling at his coup, director B. Skow told AVN he thought it was the script, not the anal itself, that made Andrews so passionate about the project that she’d surrender her chance for a huge post-anal-debut payday. The script, inspired by the handful of long-term abduction, imprisonment, and sexual abuse cases recently uncovered in the US, continues Skow’s fascinating psychological porn dramas and was, the director felt, a good fit for the multi-talented starlet.

“When we finished the script I really wanted Jessie for the main role of the kidnapped girl,” Skow said. “It was also important to have the main character do anal because I really wanted to show how she was mentally tortured. Jessie had never done anal and I brought the project to her and she liked the idea of doing anal for the first time in a feature, so we made it happen.”

Jessie Andrews can be found on Twitter and will make her anal debut for Girlfriends Films ‘The Gardner’ in September.

‘Dreamy McMug’ Headed for Dogfart?

Have you seen this man?

Jeremy Meeks

Chances are, you’ve seen his face popping up all over the Internet after Stockton PD posted his mug shot to their Facebook page after the man, Jeremy Meeks, was picked up on weapons and gang charges in mid-June. The Facebook photo quickly racked up more than 33,000 “likes” with netizens apparently finding much to admire about the chiseled jaw, high cheek bones, tattooed neck and steely blue eyes of the convicted felon. Picked up as part of Operation Ceasefire, designed to slow the Stockton area’s recent rise in shootings and armed robberies, Mr. Meeks is now being held on $900,000 bail and is facing severe jail time – but, as always, there’s a silver lining: porn!

After Los Angeles modeling agency Blaze Modelz has offered Meeks a management contract that Blaze claims could net him a breezy $15-to-$30,000 a month. Unfortunately for Blaze, this particular bad boy also received an offer from a film production company, a $100,000 performance contract that would only require Meeks to turn up and shoot two scenes each month. The catch? The company is Dogfart, the infamous purveyors of interracial porn and creators of such porno properties as Watching My Mom Go Black and Interracial Blowbang and one of the most notorious production houses in all of adult entertainment.

“We think Jeremy’s look is absolutely perfect for our network and would love for him to consider our offer in becoming Dogfart’s first male contract performer,” a Dogfart spokesperson told AVN. Although Meeks is rumored to have snatched up his offer of mainstream modeling work (dependent, of course, on his freedom from incarceration), Dogfart’s offer not only has a higher dollar figure than the “straight” gig, but could see Meeks extend his newfound fame to an audience of porn-loving women; or, conversely, he could bring a huge new audience to porn. “This is a great opportunity for Jeremy… a great salary and a new start for him to help provide for his family.” Dogfart’s spokesperson boasted, omitting the benefits his company would reap. “The women of the world want to see him, shirt off and balls deep, and we are ready to make the dreams of hundreds of thousands of horny women and one man looking for a new start come true.”

Hah! And they say The American Dream™ is dead!
