The Pornstars' Rack: April Foolin'

Having April Fools and Easter the same day was kinda confusing. Made me kinda cautious about cracking the eggs open. Well, let's now open up the newest issue of...

SL Connoisseur

For this first spring issue, Edvard Taurion's magazine hails a couple of welcome returns from major players of the previous issue, but in different, fresh capacity. When I put in written form my appreciation for the actress and model Kara Hawk, March's centerfold, did give a passing mention of her newfound interest in photography, that really got her on the map in a new light since the beginning of the year. We have here a shining example of these skills in this issue, with a beautiful display of the Pet of the Month for this month, a model that needs no introduction and deserves repeated viewings: Rachel Avro.

No stranger to the spotlight and a highly ranked photographer herself, Rache is a gorgeous model in this issue

Also making a return in this issue as object of interest is Stroker Serpentine, and how in the world could I not mention the appearance in this magazine of one of the main locations of the Official Pornstars Parties? Vice Beach is home of the Hoobs Hotties parties, and the Hard Alley Social Club is just around the block! Osiris LeShelle brings one of her sim reports and there could not be a better and more pornable location than this to be featured!

"The Sim is open to everyone. Rules are no Child Avatars and no Assholery" - Stroker Serpentine. Read the interview!

So, besides the roving sim reporter (and ad photographer , and hard working gal who knows how to squeeze some fun in the busy office hours...) Osiris and the beautiful feature by Kara, what do we have? Oh, of course we have a beauty of the month - and another one familiar to the party goers - in a pictorial by Theia. Just look at the cover and tell me you don't wanna check -so much- more of CandyCane Gloom. Plus, obviously there's Kristina's work...

See, look at how she grabbed shots of those people obviously just disrobing!

Kristina Deschanel's dependable work as usual translates in making the whole magazine possible through her editing, plus the party photography, featuring SammieP as Party Star, and all the other sexy peeps that made their appearance at the past release party!
Because let's not forget: SL Connoisseur guarantees you an appearance on the next issue by showing up - so dress up at your best, who knows if you'll end up getting an ampler feature! And of course every party also gives a chance to win raffle prizes, kindly offered by Ed and by - her again! Kristina. Sooo.....what are you waiting for ?

Don't you love when they kinda look like they wanna cover up...but are only showing off MORE? I do!

Well, waiting for the party to get started I hope! which will happen exactly at 11 AM SLT today April 5th, with the always fun and vocal DJ Leannan McCormick.

The Pornstars' Rack: En avant, March!

In what is a snowy 1st of March in my RL, all I can do is hope for a nice warm spring, and obviously curl up reading a mag! Ok, and writing about a mag. That's less snuggly, but can get squirmy! Especially with one such as...

SL Connoisseur

SL Connoisseur takes partying very seriously, so, let me tell you about it first ! Starting at 11 AM SLT with the incomparable Suff (Leannan Lockjaw) as DJ, the release party of SL Connoisseur is always a good one to hit. Where at? Ah, here!

It's the easiest chance you have to end up in the magazine, and not 'just' because you WILL be in its opening feature, which has been for many issues now a photo report of the previous month's, but also because the porn 'business', is as we keep reminding you, a lot about networking! Often simply showing interest, showing awareness and oh yeah, simply showing up, can truly make the difference.

No preferred dress code, feel free to bring your tiara, lace leggings and fluffy tail if you wish!! 

 I do usually write 'business' between quotation marks talking about the porn scene, but as anyone who follows Edvard's work even just through his blogging knows, the man DOES mean serious business! Some of the designers highlighted by Edvard have a broad and non specifically porny selection of items, but others are as big of a part of the porn community as it gets. I can safely say that one of the most interesting features of the issue is indeed one of commercial nature, being the interview with Stroker Serpentine. If you are following the pornstars group in world, I am sure you have seen the name of Stroker pop up quite often these days, thanks to his investment in pornstar parties and the presence of the Stroker Girlz!

Stroker's presence in the porn community has been a constant since the early, and I mean very very early days of porn in SL - heck, even of sex itself in SL - read the interview on this issue and you'll find out!

In addition to your shopping tips, you can enjoy another quality sim report and lively interview by the fantasystic (see what I did there?) Osiris LeShelle, and sexy pictorials of lovely girls! What would SL Connoisseur be without a centerfold model and the Pet of the Month? The latter is Kay Hemming (Kayleen Avedon), in a photo spread by the real jolly of the team, Kristina Deschanel, who on top of traditional spreads is also always a reliable hand at the camera for party shoots and with the layout job on the whole magazine.

I really like her subtle jewelry and the tats and ....yeah, ok. I know what you are looking at. Pervs.

About the beauty that is the centerfold model, I was delighted to see in yet another quality photoshoot from Theia one of the most active starlettes in porn these days. I am talking about Kara Hawk! Edvard has shown good instincts in the past grabbing models that are really 'trending' (just today you may have seen the announcement of her 'girl of the month' SLC interview as well!), and this delectable blonde is a fine example. Kara is enjoying these days a renewed passion for photography herself after a career as model that saw her star in the past in some of the best work by Isabelle Cheviot: a magazine cover is a fitting celebration of more than just a wonderful start of 2018 for her! I tend to root for performers who go through positive phases and are more active in the business. Err, 'business'! I sure would love to get busy with her! Take a look at the cover again and you see why.

Buzzing parties open up opportunities, a rule always to remember for porn happenings!

So! get your copy of the magazine at this link, and swing by today at 11 AM SLT!

Always something nice happening! From the obligatory photo that goes in the next issue - that could be much more if you become the Party Star like Kαѕuмι Sтαrѕi Cyhtleen) - to winning the raffle to...oh you know, meeting people and talking with photographers, producers and yes, magazine editors and owners, stuff can happen! Don't miss out.

Thanks to the SL Connoisseur staff for the material for the article: for a coverage of your magazine, movie or anything on the Pornstars blog, feel free to write me inworld!

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.
