Krissy Leigh prioritizes

I first met Krissy Leigh on the set of Adam & Eve's The 8th Day, where her ability to fall out of her clothes was inspiring. The other day I bumped into her at the Pirates 2 premiere.

"What are you up to?" I asked (because I am America's Beloved Porn Journalist).

"I signed with Spiegler," she said.

Spiegler Girls handles, I believe, the adult industry's most sex-ready performers.

"Great choice," I said. "And have you been keeping busy?"

"I do anal all the time now," she said.

If this had been a phone conversation, I would have said, "I'll be right over." As it was, she was standing right in front of me. Thank you, Jesus.

Palate-cleansing with Ava Rose

Oddly enough, some people complained that the last post was too amphibious, so here is a picture of the delightful and terrestrial Ava Rose (or at least a delightful several inches of her) from the movie Hello Nurse!

Sometimes it is important to bring people back to their comfort level after several paragraphs of fisting frog entrails, and Ava Rose is my comfort level.

Site emerges from toilet, patriotically

Whatever else you might think of GramPonante.com, apparently it is no longer down (though problems remain). Absent any actual news, I leave you with a representative photo of Bluegrass State vixen Audrey Hollander in the water closet.

When suggesting the photo to Hollander, I said, "Your red hair! The blue wall!" and Hollander said, "The white toilet!" That is why you should vote for the Eminent Domain of Audrey Hollander in tomorrow's California election.

Adrianna Nicole and Annette Schwarz - just because

There was no reason for them to be standing in that parking lot, and yet there was every reason.

I asked the first thing that came to my mind:

"When you have to oil your asses, what do you use?"

"Baby oil," Schwarz said.

"Olive oil," Nicole said. "Well, basically whatever is available."

Aiden Starr: coffee and condoms

Speaking of Aiden Starr, she stopped by Gram Ponante Towers, Apothecary, Helipad, Dead Letter Office, and Centrifuge the other year and, in the course of a normal conversation, became naked.

I was asking her about a mutual friend over coffee.

"I always, always use condoms when having sex with civilians," she said.

(For the first time, I was glad that we're at war with two countries!)

Aiden And Michelle's Christmas Miracle

I don't know what story this picture is supposed to tell us about Aiden Starr and Michelle Aston. Is there labor unrest in the toy shop? Are these elfin sprites angered at our intrusion? All in all, would you say that Michelle Aston's xiphisternum has been good this year, judging from its location (I would)?

Whatever's happening, it definitely explains the unusual magnetism I've been experiencing in the pole(s).

We at Gram Ponante Towers, Reindeererie, and Barrow Downs wish you a delicious Christmas, if you're so inclined, and if you're not, we're taking tomorrow off anyway.

Aiden Starr in my office with a Starbuck's Egg Nog Latte on her ass

My AA sponsor says that I should be more concrete about things, and I chafe at this, you know, as an artist, but I console myself with the understanding that the subject of this post isn't too on the nose (since it's on her ass).

Seriously, if Starbucks doesn't recharge my and Aiden's Starbuckscard for this picture I'll be angry; this should sell more coffee than Diana Krall.

Joanna Angel in Topless at the Lavanderia

I needed to wash some shirts.

"I can make sure your shirts get really clean," Joanna Angel said.

"Why does everything you say sound so dirty?" I said.

"Good thing we're at a laundromat, then."

Jenny Hendrix' breasts to hibernate

Jenny Hendrix, seen here mixing a beverage, is eight days away from getting new breasts.

"They're getting a little bigger," she confirmed.

We tried to organize a protest march through the streets of the Valley, but safety has become an issue. Still, the mood on the set recently was one of melancholy, as we all remembered fun things we've been through with Jenny's original breasts.

"You'll see the new ones at AVN," she said.

Don't pine for Hendrix' breasts, Reader. Like Frosty the Snowman, they will return again some day.

Joanna Angel: All the Best Cowboys Play Guitar Hero

I took a bunch of pictures of Joanna Angel at her place in the Valley the other day. It was actually cold out, so she looked more at home.

"I go back to Brooklyn every other month or so," she said, "but I've been out here for two years."

Two years. That is shocking.

Anytime someone from the east coast refers to California it is by "out here". I do the same thing even though I am Oaxacan.

Angel allowed our camera crew to follow her around unfettered for several days, eating her food, swimming in her pool, learning her ways and her language. It was the kind of access one rarely gets unless one provides her with a bagel and coffee.

I'll put up some more photos over the next few weeks, culminating with her birthday on Christmas.

This picture reminded me of a Pete Townshend album.

Meet Maria Ozawa

Because I am gaijin I know very little about Japanese AV (adult video) models. This is unfortunate, because we all share an interest in tentacles.

Maria Ozawa was born in Japan to a French-Canadian father and Japanese mother. Because she is hapa we are both outcasts. She reminds me of Jennifer Connelly.

A Japanese friend of mine sent me this picture with the caption "This woman makes every contract girl in the valley look like a dog."

While I would never say that myself, fearing the shame that would be visited on me by my ancestors' ghosts, I do think The Hot Spot is ready for a remake.

Eva Angelina - for no reason at all

Eva Angelina is a guest on Playboy Radio (until 7 PST), but I thought I would show you the one picture in existence of a porn star holding up her breasts.

Nominated for AVN's Best Actress - Video award for her work in Upload, Angelina was quick to not point out that the self-held breasts shot might be too radical for American audiences.

"In Europe we can hold our own breasts all day long for pictures," the Orange County native did not say. "But now it is time for stateside audiences to witness the phenomenon without shame."

Next time: someone with her finger in her mouth.

Sabrina the gang-banged witch

Here is my pal Sabrina Deep, who sends this Halloween photo from England. I asked how last month's gang bang went.

"It had more participants than the Norman Conquest," she said.

Deep is looking for participants in her Lesbian Strap-on gangbang, which will be staged during the AVN convention in January.

Aiden Starr and Caroline Pierce - just because

I went to Rodney Moore's Vampires party the other night and, in a corner behind the bar, encountered Aiden Starr and Caroline Pierce. The balloon contained something like 30 or 40 souls.

"I met her in Tampa," Starr said of Pierce. "She told me she was an excellent bottom."

"That's nice," I said. But what am I supposed to do with that information? Everyone's a bottom when you're Grams.

Nom de Porn du jour: Adrenalynne

Not since Strokahontas and Suckable has a porn name caught my attention like that of Adrenalynne. It seems like it is a new breed of porn name, half-WWE and half-old school porn naming convention, in which every name has to end with -lynn, -lee, or -sohoth*.

But I will let director/performer Tee Reel tell you the rest, because I have become incoherent. Read his press release after the gap.
"Adrenalynn Lighthouse Talents newest scarlet shoots her first B/G interracial scene for director Tee Reel’s “Get Reel” this 5’3 former ballet dance r and stunning beauty sets the screen on fire in a hot scene with Nat Turnner. Tee was happy to get her in his new action movie where she plays the sister of the lead assassin. Originally from Texas Adrenalynn says she always had a desire to get into the adult business. “I was happy to have her in the movie this girl is smart ,sexy and can act. It was great shooting her and I hope to work with her again soon."

It is not lost on me that I have never heard from Suckable or Strokahontas again. I hope that Adrenalynne's name does not overwhelm her career. I don't think it will; she seems to have spirit.

Roxy Panther's Sugarloaf

That's right: you never would have expected to see those three words together. But they fit, goddamn you.

It was an overcast day overlooking Copacabana Beach when this photo was snapped. After some deliberation, it has been determined that the beach in the background is not itself a photograph and that Panther was really there (because I am an an ancient mariner, I studied the tides). I didn't want you to think Porn is based on Lies.

Dana Vespoli from 2004 - just because

I am not the gadabout your cards, letters, and offers of timeshares suggest. I am still prone to say "Who is that?" about someone who has been in the business for several years.

The dangerous Dana Vespoli reminds me of a post-apocalyptic Phoebe Cates in this excellent scene from Pat Myne's Ass Slaves 2, included on his recent X-Rated compilation. I have never wanted to go beyond Thunderdome so much.

Mika Tan, wearing some kind of jerky - just because

Mika Tan is currently off on a journey from which I hope she returns safe and sound. But earlier this year Otto Bauer got her up in this complicated network of flaps, strips, and boots.

As you can see, it hardly covers anything. I have a feeling that she could wear something like this the wrong way and no one would know or care.

I asked GramPonante.com's newly-minted Native American correspondent, Stands Uncomfortably To One Side While the Cool Squaws Dance, if Tan's ensemble had special significance to her people.

Read her reply after the gap.



"Heap sexy outfit," she said, a single tear trailing down her cheek.

Tan is thus arrayed for Supercore's Backroads, due any day now and also starring Audrey Hollander and Naudia Nyce.

Do They Know It's Christmas?

With a name like Third World Media, savvy porn consumers would expect only the best in Sub-Saharan Africa and Nigerian Internet Scam ladies, but in fact the company shoots on location just about everywhere other than Africa, including Japan, Thailand, and Brazil.

My favorite of their DVD titles is Exit Ass Enter Mouth. It's like Eat Drink Man Woman except Exit Ass Enter Mouth.

I believe she is standing on the bed. Other cultures are fascinating!

It is as if she has just discovered why that man is taking all those pictures.
