The Pornstars' Rack: On Fire!

It's a special pleasure for me to talk about this issue of...

Aroused! Magazine



Hey, rather basic opening for the post, but it will be all about substance, much alike the magazine. Hopefully you are familiar with this magazine already! This is the second year of Marika Blaisdale's Aroused, and we are one issue away from 40. Quite a journey it has been!

Soon in a theater near you: 'Dance with Swallows'. Robin Rondini as the hot male lead, no Kevin Costner.

The issue was a little tough to find the balance of. I admit, I feel in retrospect that it's even a 'too' packed issue, with a great amount of talent in it and some of the finest work from those photographers. But I was getting impatient to release it, and after the next issue we are probably going to take a little holiday break for our RL schedules. So, keeping in the storage room some of these sets could lead to an even more crowded midsummer edition.

Yep, that is EXACTLY what happens for every issue. Revision is such  a tough job.

Melina Jameson has 2 photosets in this issue that will be very difficult to top in the next one. One is very special for me, all about Melina's faculty to set up fun scenes and do homages the way both Marika and I enjoy best: in a light hearted (and porny!) way. It was lovely to have models like Kei Frequency, Mellie Criss and Simoni Tigerfish for it !
Now for the second shoot, it's called Dreams come true, and it's all about Melina's artistic skills as an erotic photographer. The quality is stellar, the models Sandra Palletier and Ashlynn Jameson are icons of our porn world and meaningful ones for Melina, and it is the photoset that gave me the hardest time choosing, this issue or the next? Especially because...

Sandra would certainly be a great NSA airport inspector...

....well, because Sandra Palletier was set to be in this issue already, with a -wonderful- set of her own! You have seen in these years of Sandra pictures several encounters of hers with the delicious Delicence, but I think this set from the issue is as good as it can get. Sandra has always been one of the most enthusiastic and consistent contributors to Marika's magazine(s), and I am grateful for this opportunity to feature her once again.

I don't believe I ever featured Nicasio Ansar in three photosets in a single issue, but he had the most captivating models in the duo of Dora Lane and Ziekel and he made my day, week and month by shooting one of the most interesting and beautiful stars of our scene, the ever modish Sandy Miggins. And yeah well, he insisted on taking pics of me too, so whatever, Nica. You win.

No, not making a 'getting wet' joke right now. Later at the party I might, ok?

Now, in my blog posts I try always to give priority to personalities who identify themselves with the porn scene or Sexiest Group in general, so I won't mention a lot about the contribution to the magazine by the trio of friends Aloyssia Hema, Loly Hallison, Marika Djannovic, but their work for Aroused speaks volumes, and I am grateful for their punctuality, committment and helpfulness. Same goes for Erika Madazzhatter, that I am going to mention also for her recent quality work for another really cool mag!

I don't want to make an overlong post about the magazine of my partner, but it was so difficult to pick a cover, even more difficult to not single out every one here for their skillful performance. Rachel Swallows' set is creative magic, Woiven is one of the talents in group that I am enjoying featuring the most these days with her artistic talents and versatility, and Rachel Avro gave this magazine a photoset that can make the sultry model Severina truly proud. Makes ME proud for sure to have been able to feature that!

Okay, somehow I made it to the end of this post, with so much more to say, but I'll settle for this! I need to remind you about to get this thing, right? Marketplace. Issuu. Kiosks.
Also... Aroused! magazine has a presence in world thanks to that Nicasio guy, who set up a gallery for us in his AMAZING, really and seriously amazing sim. Heck, maybe it's not even a good choice to have a gallery there, the sim is so cool it's distracting! Ok well, don't want to oversell it, but I'm trying to be cheeky here and say, that we are going to try and put really cool photos there so you are not tempted to look outside.

You know, PJ homages Aroused in this set with B.E.N. and Sasquatch...oh, can't see it? Take a look at the whole set!

We are starting the summer exhibits with the opening party for someone loaded with melanine (must be, to cover that large buttockal area of hers), the Partee girl herself Parthenea! Today at 7-9 PM SLT, with Dj Stacia Reinoir! Wait, what else should we say about it? Oh, well! there will be cool stuff! Ask me about it in-world!

Contact me anytime in-world about Aroused! or any publication , movie, idea for a blog post. You know I love to write these pointless things!

The Pornstars' Rack: Y/N ?

Oh my, it has been a week already, got Aroused yet? See what I did there? Talking about...

Aroused! Magazine



Talking about the erotic magazine of course! The biggest fun by far putting together a magazine like that is to see what the photographers come up with, and in this case, I had a wonderful surprise in the guise of my partner Marika Blaisdale getting very creative with the cover there. I love her talent for this sort of creative presentation.

As the picture says, Ali Lancrae went to great lenghts to get the job done for this issue

But enough already with the private notes, and on to the goods. Aroused! was very happy to showcase and present the work of remarkable artists, covering the many nuances of the 'erotic and porn' scene in SL. Much alike this blog and the Sexiest Pornstars group, which counts amongst its members many who don't consider themselves pornstars but have an interest in the erotic, sensual, unrestrained side of art, Aroused has always offered to its photographers the whole gamut of choices to express themselves, and brought to its viewers the results in their original material.




Zuby's bed might not have been too talkative, but she surely had plenty to show in Aroused's lenghtiest set to this day

This issue so proudly presents the shoots of some of the most prominent pornstars such as Zuby Gloom, Ali Lancrae, Sandra Palletier who pull out all the stops in their sets, together with the more restrained sensual eroticism brought by Aloyssia Hema and Loly Hallison, plus the dainty portrait views featured by Erika Madazzhatter, Rachel Avro, Sunday Whitewood, and one heartfelt homage from Evangeline Ling to her partner Bella for their anniversary.

 

It would have been certainly a Sin to keep stocked in the Aroued ! warehouse this set by Sandra...

I appreciate a lot the way the artists have incorporated so many models in this issue, far from the 'records' of previous issues but all of them appearing in truly memorable photographies. In no particular order, i am talking about Damien Godard, Cream Release, Racheal Rexen, Stacy, Curtis Trevellion, Dargonis Dufaux, Mirko Panacek, Nakuru Bergamasco, Sasquatch Rhino, Virgil, Jake Raven and a lot more not involved in the 'adult' community in the traditional sense!

Sun catching Stacy catching some sun. I know. Capitalization is important.

And with a particular appreciative look at the wonderful photographer and one gracious model so very intriguing in her looks, PJ Thornton shot by Marika, and to the gorgeous Anyka Aiseiri, one of the finest photographers in our scene and a delightful subject for Nicasio Ansar in one of his two shoots, each worth seeing also for the contrast in the beauty of his subjects.




Anyka by Nica. He always picks good ones, I tell you!

We had also the pleasure of presenting the magazine during a Pornstars Party, thanks to the efforts of Yana Grau, during which we received more subscription on the in-world kiosks.

The Pornstars' Rack: March Madness!

So you are like "Kat, it's April", "Kat, you already used this title", I know. Well, madness tends to stick around long, ok? And this is my LATE coverage of the March issue of ...

Aroused! Magazine



Oh yes, I thoroughly enjoyed this issue of the magazine, and once more I have a long list of people to thank, starting off with my partner Marika Blaisdale, for putting up with me and providing the flawless and professional layout for the magazine here. Whenever I come up to her with the most extravagant last-minute requests, she is always able to make the issue happen.



Lylah Landar in this issue goes for some 'girl love...soft'

My completely unbiased opinion is of course that you do have to check out this issue (duh!) because it's full of erotic juiciness dipped in photographic awesomesauce. I probably have to detail that with this writeup, but one thing Aroused does, is avoiding writeups (besides my opening logorrhea and the proper credits for every shoot) and use its stylishly put together pages to showcase fine graphics.




Tammy Jones worked extra-hard on her Spring Break, featured with 2 sets in the issue

What Aroused does, is essentially to give a platform for exciting, creative, sensual artists to be, you know, actually exciting, creative and sensual. It's a magazine made with the contribution of many pornstars, and here I am gonna mention pretty much all of them, since it's pretty much the point of these posts, but does not identify itself with 'porn' as such. Oh you heard this a lot of times, though, and don't be mistaken. I am not going 'there', to that point where a magazine owner touts that they are 'not porn' because they put themselves above it, in a way.

One 'outtake' from Isabelle Cheviot's set (literally!), by Rachel Avro

What I mean is, that Aroused is all about the photography, all about the artists, and doesn't 'pre-judge' their work. What they want to portray, what they do. Does not shy away from publishing a well done explicit sex photoshoot, as it doesn't feel a need to protect them. The vaste majority of photos in this issue is what would amount to 'artistic nudes', but we are interested in an audience that can also appreciate what's behind, or rather, what goes in, a 'porn' shoot. That's why I was proud to have in this issue the magazine debut of an artist like PJ Thornton, who needs no presentation for our group members, and that authors so many inventive photoshoots and photos, inspired from a wide range of sources, from humor and pop-culture to real icons of traditional figurative art.



PJ and Veigh in their special workout session!

Oh but enough yapping: on this issue, the masterful work of Spirit Eleonara, the erotic perfection that is Lylah Landar, a double salvo from the returning Tammy Jones, Nicasio Ansar providing his usual colours and more, Rachel Avro wearing her photographer hat (and we'll see more of her soon again...), Cindy Frindy's professional artwork, and I can only say, that's just a fraction, as we were happy to involve one very naughty girl (big thanks to my compatriot Sidam for bringing her to my attention!) in Annabell Sauber, and the cover girl(s) Marika Djannovic and Aloyssia Hema outdid themselves with their respective photosets.

Amongst the models, in completely random order, Isabelle Cheviot, JayJay Moyet, Kei Frequency, Hard Rust, Kron Ray, Jadelyn McAuley, Ali Fox, Brunella Voelisa and many many others!



'Omg Kat, you kept my photoshoot in the freezer for so long'. I know, Spirit, I know...

So...you guessed it. Go get Aroused!, if you haven't yet! Not that I object if you want to get another copy. It's free anyway! Grab it on Marketplace, look at it online on Issuu (your G+ or Facebook loginin works, no need to sign up), or feel free to subscribe to a kiosk -feel free to ask if you'd like to display it at your sim- and ...that's it! Oh that was easy. Why couldn't I do this post before? Sheesh!
