The Pornstars' Rack: Happy Anniversary!

Wake me up when September ends. Actually, a little earlier, I have a party to go to. The one for the anniversary of...

SL Connoisseur



One year of SL Connoisseur! It's great to see publications make it that far, because in Second life, a year is A FRIGGING LIFETIME! And as the founder, owner, publisher of the mag Edvard Taurion says in his intro, "It was a long and bumpy road, but also full of so much fun and surprises. I am glad we all made it". 
Speaking of someone who looks like they have been through a long and bumpy road...One year of Connoisseur means also a year of memorable centerfold shoot by the wonderful Cream Release.

And a year of interviews and more!

You know, in one year of coverage of this magazine, never once (well, except the time when I had the honor to be on the cover myself) I had the chance to know in advance who the pin-up for the coming issue was going to be.
This time I thought I had a bit of juicy gossip when chatting with Cream she told me that the cover girl of this month was "a pain in the butt to work with". Well...duhhhh. You fooled me, Cream!
I should have known better. The staff of this magazine, beginning with the committment they take when they accept to have their work exclusive to SL Connoisseur, have shown absolute diligence, dedication to their work and professionalism. Credit to Ed for shaping his magazine this way.

...Also a year of  erotic stories. Laura brings her debaucherous sensuality and  the punchline of this issue is hers again.

But first and foremost credit to the staff members, who again did beautifully this month, for their thickest, most polished and well thought out issue to day. As it always should, the next issue being better than the previous! This issue brings us more of the active contribution from Onisa Lundquist, who does the photography for Edvard's interview, plus interviews and shoots with other 2 designers (including one of my favourite jewelry stores, damn!!), not to mention the 'Pet of the Month' spread, this month with a beauty out of this world, Monique LeFry!

Sideboob, 3/4 arse, high heels, and Pluto in Pisces. Yes, I think I stargazed enough today.

The latest addition to the team this issue is Court Faith, a name you read A LOT in the porn world lately. Nobody is as active as she is now with her photography. In this issue she interviews and photographs a content creator very familiar to our readers as well as a group member and already covergirl in a past issue of Busted, Akira Kira.

Fashion designers, sim owners and obviously furniture creators on this issue. 13 issues of original content!

And SL Connoisseur doubles on the erotic stories this time AND on the Cream, because together with Laura Richards' contribution with a story perfect for this issue that leads to Halloween, we also are treated with erotica featuring Cream herself and one of the cutest models on the scene, the lovely Lara Dieterle.

Cream and Lara drawing a crowd!

Speaking of the Halloween mood and binary occurences, Kayla Bombastic for this second appearance on the mag shows us as well a great pair. No, you pervs, I mean the location reports SL Connoisseur has brought us from day one and that the Bombastic one has debuted covering in the previous issue. The dramatization of her visit to Ironwood Hills is a great read even for those who already know the sim by heart. Which you won't anyway, since it's an ever-changing one , that Kayla's narration will compel you to visit again, trace her steps, or make it your own experience!

Kayla's photography and writing are definitely inviting. This month, Ironwood Hills and  Byrd Island

Finally, a mention to Kristina Deschanel's work putting all the pieces together as the Technical Editor of the mag. Over 200 pages not easy to compile, and with a presentation that gets slicker - really pleasant splash pages presenting most articles this month, I really liked it. Plus, she happens to do the party photos that open the issue, which is a bonus since she got some reaaaaally nice action shots...

What's to add to close this post? Obviously a shoutout to this upcoming party, today Thursday 29th, at 11 AM SLT!

Come to the party, have your photo taken, meet and greet Ed, the staff, perhaps get a chance to be in an upcoming issue...but hey, first and foremost get this new issue, as it's pretty good! In fact, don't wait for the party and do your homework: get Connoisseur from the marketplace store!

To schedule a post on the Pornstars blog, simply contacting me, Katina Cazalet, inworld, is enough! Let me know when you are avalaible!

This week...month...something....in challenges!

We love to give coverage to every and any initiative aimed at the crowd of passionate photographers, filmakers, artists who make up so much of our active community. I admit my limits and tell you that I am a rather poor 'hunter' of opportunities not being on Flickr a lot, so I will suggest to please, share your findings on the in-world pornstars group or just IM me, Katina Cazalet, in world, especially if you are unsure about the appropriateness of the entry.

I appreciate the work done by our own Jadelyn McAuley relaying us the information about the "Fun in the Sun" photo hunt. From the blog post about it by one of the sponsors (the other being our favourite US-time party venue Hard Alley Social Club )

What is the idea behind a photo hunt and how does it work? The idea is you pick a sim, and all contest entry photos must be taken on whatever Sim was chosen. For our very first photo hunt we will be using Vice Beach. You are welcome to use the entire sim is not just limited to the beach area.

Rules in short? Take a photo at the Stroker Toyz sim, submit it at this flickr group here before the 18th of the month, the photo must have NO EDIT work done except cropping, that's the biggest challenge! This is a wonderful opportunity for every aspiring photographer and for the more established ones as well, with a solid 10'000 L$ grand prize, and other equally impressive gifts. Be creative!

Kayla puts Johnny to work for the winning photo of the last contest in 'Motivation'! 

In the nawties department as well, I am also giving a shoutout for Bibble Sugartooth's group, 'Bibi's Photo Contest'. Join the flick group, and the inworld group as well, to hear more about it all including the full list of winners. The current contest that just closed was 'Spank that Booty': as you can see Kayla Bombastic really nailed it, and I don't just mean JohnnyWhadd's booty.Prepare for the 15th of this month and the new theme "Erotic Bondage"

Marika Djannovic's winning entry for the P.A.S.S. contest, sponsored by Swallow. Features herself and an indentured servant.

And in closing for this post, another group that offers to its members a regular challenge is Brea Brianna's P.A.S.S. group. With the sponsorship of a famous brand of clothing/jewelry/skins/awesomesauce, Brea offers to the group members the chance to take part to a photo competition that nets pretty nifty prizes to the winners plus the outfit you see in these pictures, that was at the time an exclusive Fetish Fair item. Here you see the photos, starting with the 6 winners in order, and then the runner ups in alphabetical listing

These 3 contests blogged all offer a tangible monetary reward, but there are so many groups on flickr about 'challenges' of creativity. What's your favourite one? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below, or in my nawty box inworld.

Wanna Flick? Two times Three

Today, movie things, because why not! Beginning with the latest from a rather prolific director. And for that movie, there's simply no possible description that can top her own on her blog...

"Sometimes shy, young men need to be given a helping hand to find themselves....and sometimes they need a warm mouth and an active tongue. And sometimes they need their stepmother and a hot new neighbor to show them the ways of the world. Loving your neighbor has never been so much fun! See Kitten in her film debut along with Chris C and yours truly."

It is a pleasure to see Isa toy with unique and daring (I was about to say 'taboo-free', in homage to a series I am dying to see more episode of) setups, and certainly this movie has a rather kinky one. Also, she gets to show her spiritual side, with the evangelical title, the frequent kneeling , the hand folded action, the angelic smiles and attention to the family.

The movie is a new testament (see what i did there?), not that I believe there is need for such a thing (see what...ok, nevermind), to Isa's abilities as a porn filmaker and storyteller. Audio and video are put together with consummate editor skills in a flick with just about the right pace in every shot and with some pretty bombastic vocal performances!

Throughout the bazillion movies from her I have covered so far, I have pointed out certainly enough times Isa's ever inspired choices of angles and how easily she seems to 'get' what to show to make the most out of every situation and performer. 
The salacious onset unfolds its full potential thanks to the treatment by a director who loves to produce legitimate eye-pleasing closeups and virtuoso shots, but first and foremost make darn hot porn, managing to tell enough of a story through it to spice the interest, getting us in the mood, and keep that mood hot.
The 'interaction' between the avis  is truly exciting also thanks to that sort of detail often missing in other porn productions, from facial expressions to the way the shots are framed and composed.

Also, dat ass.

 Well, I said enough! CC (aussiecc) is a sure 'go-to' actor for productions, when a director manages to schedule him, he's gonna bring a proven, handsome look to the mix. And Kitten (dexette), at her movie debut here, is one of the brightest new names in porn; as usual, the screenshots top anything my written word could tell.

Speaking of bright newcomers...

Does she qualify as such anymore at this point? Monique LeFry has been around porn for just a few months and yet it's as if she's been around here forever. Therefore, she's old news and I just won't talk about her at all and... Oh come on, no! You cannot look past her, at any time. Stare at her, perhaps... Lots.

Well, this movie is indeed 'old news', in perfect Katina style in fact i am covering something that was released at the beginning of the year. Girlfriends 2 aka "Girlfriends 2 - The fun continues" is the...second episode in the....girlfriend series? Do I need padding of this post that badly? It's already quite long. 

No, seriously though. This is another one of Isa's series that I hope will have more episodes. I mean, a lesbian threesome, who doesn't like that? If you feel that something might be 'lacking', don't worry, the star of the movie rises to the occasion thanks to the wonders of technology and sturdy rubbery materials. And everyone has a great time







But I do find appropriate to feature this movie today, in the light of her being chosen as Dog Star Performer of the Month. I would run out of superlatives when it comes to describe her, and that is purely from a 'professional' point of view. Is there such a thing, though? I can certainly describe the original, beautiful avatar and testify about her skills and dedication as model and actress, but I think a lot of us in the porn scene also know her for her supportive, friendly and yet incisive and witty disposition. She is not just a pretty face with a silvery tongue: she really is able to make people come together.

Read and enjoy Isa's blog post about June's 'performer of the month' and you'll find a lot of what I could say - and perhaps you have a similar experience about her, I know I do !-. Moni is a fantastic performer, all year long, even in the snowboarding season!

Anyway, to wrap this up: featuring also another girl who made her presence well known to the porn world, the long limbed and greatly talented Lacey Nora (dawnlilys), this movie has a great mood from start to finish, and really hot girl-on-girl-on-another-girl action. 

And by 'to finish' I do mean that in Isa's movies sometimes it's worth staying tuned past the always impeccably produced (and 99% of the time factually accurate :p) credits. The tradition of the orgasm counter lives on!

So, check out these movies, after the jump, and talk to me about your flicks !
