Gaga over Glass

Monday, 25 February, 2013 by Darren

It was just another day in the wonderful world of Google when they announced Glass—a pair of sleek eyewear that could change the world. Texting, video chat, instant access to Google and all of its services, their preview video shows its users partaking in everything from virtually sharing a birthday experience to flinging themselves around on a trapeze. Their preview did not, however, explore the possibilities that open up for the adult entertainment industry.

Picture this: you’re at home watching the latest Joanna Angel release on DVD. You hit the orgy scene and a particular tattooed beauty catches your eye. Within seconds, you’ve shifted from the standard view to a point-of-view shot recorded by the Glass eyewear her partner had on. While recording, he looks up at a pink-haired porn star, and you shift again, bouncing around the orgy’s performers.

But it’s not about just changing angles on professional shoots. Glass has infinitely expanded the capabilities and range of point-of-view amateur porn. No more phones or handheld video cameras handicapping the participants –both hands are now in use—which will create a range of more in depth and creative motion that the amateur industry has been unable to achieve until this point.

Upskirting, recording sex in public, erotic video chat… we want to know what will you do with Glass?

Kink Premiers at Sundance

Last Saturday, the Sundance Film Festival took a delightful bruising when it debuted Christina Voros’ (127 Hours, The Broken Tower) documentary, Kink. This film explores the daily ins and outs of premiere BDSM porn studio Kink.com, a subject that Kink’s producer, James Franco (Spider-man, Pineapple Express), found fascinating while touring the 200,000 square foot San Francisco studio during a shoot for another project, About Cherry.

Founded in 1997 by Columbia University alumni Peter Acworth, Kink.com is the alternative pornography site, its wide umbrella encompassing sites such as FuckingMachines.com, Hogtied.com, and PublicDisgrace.com as well as hitting the alternative gay male demographic with MenOnEdge.com and BoundGods.com.

Acworth has devoted his adult life to bringing alternative pornography to the mainstream, not just to fill an already established need, but to help educate those still exploring their sexuality. Constantly expanding and exploring new directions, the Kink.com brand he created is an excellent representative of the alternative adult industry not only due to its longevity and integrity, but also due to its vision and sense of community.

Bringing the talents of Franco and Voros together to create a film about such an industry giant might finally allow the rest of the world to banish their illusions of not just the alternative porn community, but the adult industry in general. We have high hopes that this film, as well as the two other adult industry-related films showing at Sundance, Leatherbar and Lovelace, will topple some of the longstanding walls between mainstream viewers and filmmakers and the adult industry.

Roxxxy the Sex Machine

So Roxxxy isn’t the most attractive robot I have seen, however she is a clear sign that the progress of sexual robotic technology is striving ahead. TrueCompanion is the company that engineered and sells Roxy (and Rocky), however their website seems to lack the pizzazz of what I would expect from a state-of-the-art technology company.

Here is a link to a video that was shot at the 2010 AEE show. If for nothing more than to set a base line for where and when it all began, this is where this industry is heading.

Richard Avery- Photographer

Richard Avery’s interest in photography began at his tenth birthday and his devotion to the craft helped mold him into the arresting photographer he is today. Toting his trusty Hasselblad camera, he credits his inspiration as coming from such artists as Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Peter Lindberg, and David Bailey as well as what he refers to as his “grrls”—the sexy and compelling models that haunt his striking photographs. Avery, aside from having a reputation as an excellent chef and ever-so naughty lover, is also reported to be devilishly handsome—though only those who have met him would know. This wickedly talented photographer seems to have almost as good a talent for avoiding the lens as he does wielding it.

Avery’s fashion photography first came into public eye in New York during the mid-90s. Bold, simple, imaginative, elegant, and edgy, it soon caught the attention of adult star Juli Ashton, head of Ashton View Promotions, who felt that the innately erotic edge of Avery’s work could easily translate into something groundbreaking for the adult industry. In early 2006, Ashton and Avery announced their partnership and launched Juliland.com to promote his work and bring a fresh, fashionable style to the world of adult entertainment. Using beautiful adult actresses like Bobbi Starr, Dana DeArmond, Lexi Belle, and Justine Joli, Avery began creating a new world of modern erotic photography that caused the adult industry to sit up and take notice. Currently based in Los Angeles, Avery travels the world to photograph the finest talent the adult industry and fetish community has to offer.
