Ash's 'Eyerotica'

Couldn't help but being excited receiving this picture, about Ash and her small opening!



...Ok, that kinda came out wrong.

What I meant is, I am a huge fan of the fantastic erotic art of airport manager, book smuggler, log lady, obscene madame and of course shoe pornographer extraordinaire Ashratum, and as you know, I love featuring news about exhibitions from our group members. This is her presentation of the exhibit.

"Any photographer who says he's not a voyeur is either stupid or a liar." 
- Helmut Newton



"The act of voyeurism fascinates me and certainly has a lot to do with my approach to Second Life erotic photography. I'm not good with posed photos of planned photo shoots, preferring the spontaneous pleasure of seeing, either through a lucky stolen glimpse of intimacy, or effectively taking part in the erotic flow of a scene."



"Voyeurs are often seen as male in cinema and photography, while females are frequently the observed subjects. My gendered and embodied point of view, a feminine point of view, is my small contribution for this “other side” of the power of looking. I hope that you will be a voyeur too and enjoy peeking at this selection of erotic images ... and don't forget to try the cameras placed in the gallery... they hide little intimate secrets."



"The exhibition is a mix of new and déjà vu (for flickr people) photos around the theme of voyeurism.

Hope to see you there... says the voyeur. :P"



This gallery exhibit is taking place at the Dathuil Art Gallery, following the steps of two other amazing artists very well known for their individual styles and also their own approach to nudity and erotica, Yannick  whose exhibition just ended, and Whiskey Monday which took place in March.

Then again, as Whiskey said in the blog post about it, "Max Butoh has built a gallery in an old distillery, so who better to open the place than a Whiskey?"

It is indeed only fitting.

This one is obviously by me. I just wanted to show a little peek of the exhibit!

I chatted a bit with the gallery curator Lucy (lucydiam0nd), who was very kind showing me around and telling me more about the place. As you can see from the gallery profile,

"Each month will feature an Artist and their work. 

Feel free to roam the large space, remnants of a Distilleries past still remain, and you might even be able to taste the aged whiskey in the air as you tour the magnificent collection. 

 Join the Group and keep apprised of the monthly shows and events."



This beautiful and quite moody installation takes place on the same sim of the wonderful Sable Club venue, and of course The Chamber, which needs no introduction and is an ever so popular place for photographers and lovers of eros in general.
Ash's art is really at home here , and I am already looking forward to the work of new artists being displayed here. But hey, I am getting WAY ahead of myself here. Check out first Ash's beautiful photos in there!

The Pornstars Rack: November Mags

Right, where were we? Oh yes: sexy photos. And mags!

Aroused!



Aroused! has been providing a lot of content through the weeks, as often featured: going strong at its 15th issue, it is built around a staff of regular photographers very well respected and renowned in the world of SL erotica. You can see on the cover one of them who luckily has recently taken steps to overcome her notorious camera-shyness: a picture of her butt as she runs away from the camera would have not been as effective as a cover. Her name is Melina Jameson, and you all are familiar with her work.

As beautiful as she is talented, Athena needs no introduction.

So, it's worth praise the excellent contributions of the magazine staff, with photoshoots by Dakota Faith, the tireless Sandra Palletier with Be, and, on the other side of the lens for once, the explosive sensuousness of Athena Obviate, posing for the magazine editor Marika Blaisdale.

Sandra too, is more than capable of introducing herself.

But of course Aroused! is always on the lookout to feature contributions of outstanding artists: this issue in fact opens with a personal favourite, Kiki Ergenthal, in erotica of the highest quality. With a distinct voyeuristic flavour to it, this series brings glimpses of the violated privacy of different models. You will recognize in there other favourite flickerites and Pornstars members that you have seen here many times in the past with their work, such as Ash, and Mayra in the photo below. But I won't spoil it for you. Watching someone painting their toenails has never been SO involving!

You might need to wash your underwear too, after looking at Aroused. No, it's not scary...

So, go get Aroused! It's avalaible as an in-world item in kiosks (IM Marika Blaisdale if you wish to place one at your venue) and through Marketplace, but you can also read it online, at this address:

The publishing industry is very active at this time, and I really enjoy to see quality productions out there. One in particular I haven't had the pleasure to feature yet and is worth a BIG heads up, but if you are Pornstars members, you already know about it! And if you don't...see you next time and I'll tell you about it!
Meanwhile: feel free to contact me in world about your magazine, if you think its content is relevant to our blog readers. Thank you!

The 'Erotic Monochrome' Flickr Group

I am a great admirer of the Queen of Amok, Ash. The eroticism in her images is piquant and torrid even when merely suggesting, she can pick details with such precision and make them come to life, and even when you just look at her, she has an intriguing and unique sembiance. She's totally the second one-eyed girl I'd bag, ahead of Molotov Cocktease and slightly behind Big Ed's wife from Twin Peaks. WHAT??

Anyway.

She founded this Flickr group, which has just started (cos she just made it, wow I am redundant), and it has already amazeball pics in it. I also was dying to feature some of the picture in it already, so! Check it out, upload your B/w stuff, enjoy. Pictures (in sparse order, check the links on every pic for proper credits) by: Amona Savira, Beth Macbain, Dominic Dawes, Hugh Person, Isa Messioptra, Laura A., Meryll Panthar, Rix Spyker, Spirit Eleonara, Tha Weirdo, Ash herself.
