Tera Patrick: Game geek girl
 To her roles as celebrity publisher, honorary fire chief, Kentucky Colonel, and orthodox rabbi can Tera Patrick now add "special producer" to her list of honorific titles.
Patrick has signed on to THQ's "Saints Row 2" for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 for undisclosed payment and duties. The "Grand Theft Auto"-type game will feature Patrick as a character, and all will be revealed when the title is released in October.
Thanks to Steve Johnson at AVN finishing school G4TV for the link.
Saints Row is not to be confused with Pornsaints.

Pornsaints to sanctify Philadelphia
 Pornsaints, the quasi-religious outfit that makes today's porn stars look like Patrick Nagel paintings, is hosting its second art show in conjunction with Hotmovies, a porn e-tailer, at Philadelphia's Transit nightclub on August 2.
"Art needs something naughty and porn needs something classy," demanded Pornsaints founder Francesco D'Isa, fists clenched. Works by D'Isa, Katelan Foisy, Jeff Faerber, Julio Aguilera, Molly Crabapple, and Jorden Hale will be displayed at the party, which also celebrates Hotmovies' 100,000th movie sale.
The evening of booze, burlesque dancers, and boobs will be hosted by Joanna Angel and Re-Penetrator director Doug Sakmann.

It's hard to be a pornsaint in the city
 This collection of artful renderings of some of my personal favorite porn personalities has a daunting amount of theory behind it, which can either be a turnoff, a justification, or, well, just those two. Best to not read the manifesto attached.
Suffice to say that not since Bang Boat has there been a porn site with such a high concept.
Designed by the Florentine artist "Pornpope" Francesco D'Isa, Pornsaints has a five page mission statement that boils down to: "Well, they might as well be saints" because anything else is just as likely.
I have as much problem with people who beatify their art objects as those who debase (Khan Tusion) or infantilize (Bill Margold) them; it takes away the subject's humanity.
Our issue as porn viewers/consumers has never been that we aren't understanding porn subjects the right way, it's that some people tell us how to understand a very personal, that is consumer, subject. In the end, it says more about the theorist than it says about us.
Regardless, Pornsaints is a well-crafted and thoughtful site, whether you agree with the thoughts behind it or not, and contains some interesting renderings of Casey Parker, Bella Vendetta, Mia Rose, Pinky Lee, and Lorelei Lee (pictured), among others.

While GramPonante.com is written for a tenth-grade reading level (in some countries), you must be 18 years or older to visit this site. Sorry.
