The Pornstars' Rack: Celebrating a Magazine!

Look, look! A magazine! And it's...

Aroused! Magazine



Have you been at the party, Friday? Too bad if you haven't (like me -.- ), but at least you get to see how awesome it was (thanks always to the great work by the set builder as well as DJ, Yana!), in our party report post. Ok, well, that's a bit like rubbing it in, if you missed it! But most importantly, you get to see the magazine, and its 20th Issue!

I am glad to feature this time this sexy b&w by Whims. If you missed her exhibit at the Obsession Exposed gallery, you can catch fellow Aroused! artist Graham Collinson's, starting today 

Yes, that is what the party was celebrating (and why the release of the magazine was delayed one week): the 20th issue of this publication. Aroused was founded in May last year by Marika Blaisdale, amazingly enough, a newcomer on the scene: just a part of what earned her the nomination for the Sexiest awards in that category, I would guess!
Aroused has grown since and accomplished a lot, delivering without fail 2 times a month great quality photos to its readers.

A different feel by Sandra Palletier, with a new and fresh style in a steamy sex shoot with herself, Ansariel Hiller, Itoko.

Too easy for me to say how big of a fan of this magazine I am (duh!), but the truth is: when you look at it superficially, the magazine format seems something kinda pointless in SL, emulating on 'virtual paper' a medium the crisis of which has been long discussed since the start of the millenium. And yet, we all feel that certain allure a well produced magazine has; we all get that unique feeling of accomplishment being featured in one, and the influence brought on the scene by magazines producing shoots, featuring models, giving artists a motivating vehicle and platform for a 'permanent' display of their photos, is undenyable.

Oh dear, I nearly ran out of space now and haven't talked about the actual issue yet! Well, why don't you go check it out yourself? Getting it on MP. On Aroused's website. Asking Marika. Come on. You'll find it. And you will find ON it sensational artists on either side of the camera, from Kiki to Whims, from Sasquatch Rhino presenting Waif Ah with a true maternal glow, to Sandra Palletier varying her style. And of course, there's the one who made all that possible.

Please feel free if you are featured in a SL Magazine (or produce one!) to tell me about your endeavours! I'll gladly feature the material you suggest me on this space! And I am open to suggestions about your exhibits, party reports, anything you like to highlight and is relevant to our community. Thanks!

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!
