Welcome to the a Risque Business Membership Tour

You know, when we called Maverick yesterday to joyously tell him about the new Kristal Summers post from his trip here, he said, "Hey! Remember that I was going to announce the new Kristal videos on 247 and I made you screen grabs for Carol so you could put that part on risqué and talk about it too?" … And then we said something like, "Oh, yeah. That's right. … Um. … BYE." (Sometimes the Brits just don't seem to understand the whole joyous appreciation of life thing. Have you noticed?) … So anyway we might be putting up this Kristal solo in the wrong order, but it won't matter much in the long run. Brits may not be the most joyous folks, but Americans can flat rewrite History with the better than most anyone.

"Titillating" seems to be a reasonable goal around here, and sometimes we even manage to accomplish that without resorting to the obvious pun references the word implies. Theoretically we set out today to allow you members to see a much more visual distinction between the "Las" Vegas Adult Convention and the "Los" Angeles Adult Convention. D.Minion provides some highlights of the former while we wait for Lon on the latter. Now the LA part this year involved trips to (count 'em) three new restaurants, though, including one rather lavish buffet, albeit perhaps not up to Las Vegas standards. We will see. Those of you that have been around awhile will know how much Lon appreciates a good meal, and will consequently understand the labor-intensiveness of his current assignment. Then, as current events have a way of doing around here, more titillation has been ensuing, and we're helpless to avoid its pull. At the very least, we entertain ourselves. But feel free to pop along for the ride. It's always interesting. (That's a Chinese curse, right?)

Sadly, as a result of the recent major earthquake, one of the giant pandas at the Wolong Research Center in China lost its life. As do people throughout the world the children of the land love the pandas, prompting one distraught youngster to question which fine animal passed away. "Who died, papa? Which one was it? Papa, papa, who?" ... At least this was how one of the major networks here reported the news. Probably because of time constraints the network cut away before airing the father's reply, but we're pretty sure it went something along the lines of "Papa, papa who? Mao Mao." (... And if you know how to pronounce the most famous leader of the People's Republic of China to date, and know a little American popular music history, well, it won't make that the most impressive joke you've ever heard, but it will help a lot with understanding it.) ... Fortunately today we're taking a video look at our old friend Cheyenne Silver, and we're not even mentioning a thing about natural disasters anymore. Still, it's good to remain at least somewhat aware of world events, and it is Father's Day, so we had to at least mention dads out there. (Besides, they might know The Beach Boys in China.)

Ah, but we love the BTS footage. We find it a wonderful way to really see not so much what movie sets are like (because even if you've never been on one you've probably seen enough clips on television to pretty much know what they're like) but because this type of footage gives the most accurate capture of the moods of the actors and actresses at a precise moment in time. (And you've probably seen enough clips on television to know that those little moods are nothing if not volatile too.) As is his now tradition, Maverick has also put together some screen grabs for Carol, since she still can't see video on the web, as most of you probably know even if you're not a member. By our estimation, Mav's either a very nice man, has a not-so-secret crush on Carol … or he just thinks it would be very handy to marry an American. … For today, color us cynical and entertained.
