Elegant Angel’s Performers of the Year 2014

Elegant Angel's Performers of the Year 2014Every year, at the end of every year, one of US porn’s most prominent and respected studios, Elegant Angel, releases its Performers of the Year DVD. Gathering together the most dazzling performers of the past twelve months, Performers of the Year 2014 sees Maddy O’Reilly, Riley Reid, Remy LaCroix, Bonnie Rotten, and 2013 AVN Female Performer of the Year Skin Diamond for six scenes of hardcore thrills above and beyond the level of most adult endeavors seen in 2013. A directorial collaboration between Toni Ribas, Carlos Dee, Mimefreak and Elegant Angel’s latest superstar director, Asa Akira, herself a three-time featured Performer of the Year.

“Waitasecond,” you interject, “six scenes? But there’s only five girls!” Well, on the latest Elegant Angel podcast, Veruca James regales the hosts with a story about shooting a scene for the release with Riley Reid. Something of a bonus two-girl treat in an otherwise hetero-only fuckfest, the scene had Toni Ribas struggling to keep his two stars in line. After spending all day flirting and working themselves up, Riley and Veruca were disappointed to discover their director only wanted one of them to lap at the other’s pussy; Veruca would get Riley off but wouldn’t get off herself. Furious, they stood together and insisted that they both deserved some relief. Faced with two lingerie-clad beauties foaming at the mouth and clawing at each other, Ribas relented. Veruca’s unsure whether her orgasm will be included in the final cut, but either way it’s clear she’s as excited for its release as, well, basically every porn fan on the planet.

A street date for Performers of the Year 2014 will be released soon from Elegant Angel.

Joanna Angel & Gigolos Launch Pants!

Some weeks ago, Burning Angel head honcho and figure head Joanna Angel launched her latest multimedia endeavor. Compared to the punk rock entrepreneur’s previous business ventures, though, this one is almost completely lacking in cumshots aimed at tattoos, filthy bathroom sex, and plundered assholes. Joanna Angel & The Gigolos, a self-described hardcore punk party band featuring Angel and two former members of Fenix TX), previewed their new single ‘Gimme Some Pants’ a few weeks back but (in true punk practice) only just now got around to finishing off the video and tossing it online. And, in all its glory, here it is:

Delivered with Joanna’s trademark sass and knowing wink, ‘Gimme Some Pants’ channels The Runaways, The Cars, and, strangely enough, Midnight Oil while still keeping that Burning Angel irreverence at peak operational capacity. In between discotheque decor and much humorous prancing and trying on of trousers, Joanna and director Mike Quasar even manage to inject the video with a handful of preview clips for Burning Angel’s upcoming feature, Band Sluts. Also starring Annika Amour, Nikki Hearts, Arrabelle Raphael, Draven Star, and (Mr. Pink favorite) Veruca James, Band Sluts sees Joanna and her bandmate Tommy Pistol (the Jack to her rack-tastic Meg White) set off on a tour in search of fame, fortune, and fornication. It’s three hours of carnality and guitar-twangin’ as Band Sluts cements the mockumentary as Burning Angel’s go-to feature format and ensures no porn fan will be able to think of hardcore sex and hardcore rock ‘n’ roll without Joanna Angel’s winking face and winning figure popping into their mind’s eye.

Joanna Angel & The Gigolos’ video ‘Gimme Some Pants’ can now be seen and heard and purchased all around the ‘net. Band Sluts is out now from Burning Angel.

Gambino, Bang Bros, You Adore Abella

Porn has always been about the stark marriage of two different images or entities: the man and the woman, the penile and the vaginal, the black and the white, celebrities and graphic depictions of their most private moments, the discharged liquid and the receiving solid. (The overly obvious “big dick” and “tight hole” also applies.) Now, one unlikely combination of talents sexual and muso-comedic has resulted in a hip-hop video with a decidedly unusual erotic twist.

In the following video you’ll hear Childish Gambino (a.k.a.: Donald Glover) declare his undying fondness for a particular lady and see the marvelously constructed Abella sexily move around the window of an online webcam chat as Glover’s words appear in the chat field. Met with plenty of xs, os, and emoticons, Glover’s spiel doesn’t have an especially deep effect on Abella, but it does incite her to dance seductively and that’s enough for this guy (meaning me) and that guy (meaning Childish Gambino) both. Care to lay your eyes on Abella’s sultry swaying?

Childish Gambino’s unfortunately lifeless delivery belies his intended emotional core, leaving ‘3005’ an infantile and directionless jab at a witty hip-hop devotional. It’s left then to Ms. Anderson to entertain and that she does, gyrating her red bikini and white t-shirt-clad frame in a cyber-striptease for the author. Anyone who’s seen her ace work for some Bang Bros can surely agree that Abella’s almost as scorching in tease as she is in full carnal swing, making her work here with Childish Gambino a must-see even if the track falls flat.

Abella Anderson’s role in ‘3005’ also ties nicely into a promotion currently being run by her not infrequent employer, Bang Bros. Offering their members the chance to win $1000 of free webcam credits (to be used on Bang Bros Chat), the BB crew ask only for your participation in their weekly raffle, the winners of which can indulge in live webcam shows with pornstars, amateurs, and plenty of Eastern European chicks – on the house!

If that doesn’t constitute proof of both Bang Bros and Ms. Anderson’s relentless devotion to keeping you aroused and entertained as only the best online porn can, what can?

(*Although, it must be noted that upon clicking the posted “Interested in our no purchase necessary option,” all I arrived at was a link-less sentence (“Also learn about our no purchase necessary option here.”) insisting that, although notably absent, a ‘no purchase necessary’ option did indeed exist. For this slightly evasive and deceitful promotional stunt , fellows, I’m afraid you’ll have to part with actual (virtual) currency to the tune of $1.35!)

Asa Really Is Wicked

Asa Akira

Already the recipient of 2013’s AVN Award for Female Performer of the Year and a recent addition to Elegant Angel’s stable of directorial talent, Asa Akira seems to be doing pretty well for herself this year. Now, hot on the heels of the announcement of her exclusive performance contract with Wicked Pictures, a company she has long admired and respected, Asa Akira releases her first self-titled Wicked picture called (not at all surprisingly) Asa Is Wicked.

Directed by veteran Brad Armstrong, the all-sex Asa Is Wicked release incorporates its star’s ideas and concepts. In a way, it had to. Originally planning for exclusive Asa’s debut to be a double-header co-starring Jessica Drake, Wicked overcame scheduling conflicts and resolved to cement Asa’s position amongst its already impressive roster of contract girls by granting her the freedom to perform as wildly here as she has elsewhere. Asa Is Wicked, then, sees the diminutive gangbang-lover oil-up Johnny Castle for a more feverish massage scene than most would be capable of, a double-penetration scene with Eric Masterson and Tommy Gunn, and, surprisingly enough, condoms in use in all scenes.

Of the condom use, director Armstrong says those in the industry remaining staunchly against their use should be reconsidering their attitudes. “For the guys, there’s a performance issue there, but for the girls, I can’t quite figure out why they would be opposed to it, but some are.” Clearly not Asa, though, who knowingly signed with a condom-mandating company and who says of her future, “I eventually want to have a family. I’ve been around a while. I think about these things now. I mean, I’m 28; in porn years, that’s like 80.”

Wicked Pictures and its new and future endeavors thankfully ensure we’ll be eyeing the talented Ms. Akira for as long as she’s having incredibly adventurous and enthusiastic sex on camera. And, really, that’s the best we can hope for, isn’t it?
