Event Promotion: Thick Sundae's AVN Event (1/20/2013)

I haven't been to the Adult Video News awards/Adult Entertainment Expo in a few years. My little corner of the porn world is somewhat represented there, but not fully.

This year, I was actually planning on being out of town for AVN weekend in California, but those plans fell through the other night. So, I might find myself here in Las Vegas on Sunday, January 20.

And...even though I don't personally do strip clubs...I might find myself at the Thick Sundae's event for AVN weekend.

My strip club aversion keeps me from attending most of the time, but outside of BBW FanFest, this might be the best time to meet some of the hottest names in BBW porn. Although the full lineup won't be known until the actual evening of the event, some of the lovely ladies scheduled to appear include Julia Sands, Lexxxi Luxe, Cotton Candi, April Flores, Anna Anarchy, Lady Spice, Summer La Shay and many others.

The cost is $10 at the door, and there is a happy hour from 8pm until 10pm, with dancers scheduled to appear until 2am.

Thick Sundae's events are held at Foxy Girls, located at 3013 South Highland Drive in Las Vegas.

For more information on the event, you can email bmplvevents@gmail.com, or follow Thick Sundae's on Twitter.

Event Promotion: BBW FanFest 2013 Pre-Sale Happening NOW!

As I sit and write this, the 72 hour presale for the second annual BBW FanFest in Las Vegas is well underway. The event is scheduled to take place July 26-28, 2013 at the Tuscany Suites in Las Vegas, NV.

In fact, according to the event's Twitter feed, sales started very, very early:

The SUPER Early Bird Event has started off with a BANG! We had sales just 2 mins after launching! AWESOME!! bbwfanfest.com
— BBW FANFEST (@BBWFANFEST) November 19, 2012

If you don't know what BBW FanFest is, the first one was held in July 2012 at the Tuscany Suites and Casino just off the Las Vegas Strip. In fact, I wrote about my day at FanFest on this here very site.

As a Las Vegas local, a fan of BBWs and a supporter of BBWs in the adult industry, I am extremely pleased that this event is returning for a variety of reasons. Yes, the eye candy factor is at play (I am, after all, only a human male) but also because it is extremely important that this event is successful.

Like any industry, there are rifts and cliques and the like. Furthermore, BBWs are still viewed (by some) as being a niche market within the larger industry. Events like this, showing that women can be sexy no matter their size, hopefully can help break down the mindset that pervades much of porn valley.

(I'll have more thoughts on this later. I don't want to get off track.)

As I stated earlier, the Tuscany Suites and Casino are home to the event yet again, a nice property just east of The Strip and just west of UNLV's campus on Flamingo. Not a bad cab ride if you absolutely have to go to the larger properties, but it's also pretty well-self contained. It was a nice layout for the event, and I think that having it there is a wonderful spot for getting business done with a side of fun.

The vibe, as I experienced it on the first day of the event, was a lot of fun. Laid back, friendly people. Not as tense or as bullshit filled as I remember A.E.E. being the last time I went to it a few years ago. The event here is still small enough that you can actually hold a conversation with folks (as I definitely did with a few lovely ladies).

If you buy your package deal now, you will get about 30% off of the cost of your package. Not a bad deal at all. The entry level package during this current sale runs about $99. Not too shabby at all, and worth taking advantage of if you have the means to attend.

According to a statement from Kari Anthony (aka Platinum Puzzy), co-founder of the event:

There is something for everyone at BBW FanFest! We encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the experience of a size friendly environment, where we not only accept but celebrate your curves. There are adult novelty companies, plus size clothing vendors, DVD retailers and much more! If you are a fan of BBW porn, or just bigger women in general, you will have all the eye candy you can feast your eyes on under one huge roof.

You can check out BBW FanFest's Twitter account @BBWFANFEST, or their Facebook Page. To purchase your tickets now, visit bbwfanfest.com.

Does anyone have about $20,000 that they don't need? If so, I'll take it.

Yeah. Twenty grand.

If I was looking to get into the self-produced, high quality BBW porn industry, this is what I figured I would need as far as gear was concerned. All prices (except for the computers) are based on the price on Amazon.com as of today, Halloween 2012:

Three Sony HDR-FX7 cameras. High definition video. Integrated microphone. Three for multiple angles/camera people (if I decide to go that route). Price tag: $1,998 each ($5,994)

Three backup batteries for the videocameras. Never hurts to be prepared. $119.99 each ($359.97)

Nikon D5100 Camera. A digital SLR camera to take high resolution, high quality photos. $596.95

Nikon 44-300mm lens. $399.00

Nikon SB 400AF speedlight flash. $116.95

EasyFoto flash diffuser. $6.00

Amazon Basics remote for D5100. For those times when you have to be hands free because you're being hands on. $9.99

Nikon Battery ($39.95) and Nikon Charger ($44.95). Have to have backup just in case.

Gear Bag for Nikon camera and accessories. $19.99

Three Polaroid tripods for multiple angles (not just POV): $39.99 each ($119.97)

Photography kit with lighting umbrellas and background lights. If you've been in a hotel, you know the lighting sucks in those places. $84.00

SanDisk 16GB memory card for the digital camera. $17.49 each ($34.98)

Seagate 3TB external drive. Storage for the pictures/video. They have to live somewhere. $138.69.

With free shipping from Amazon.com, that brings the bill to $7964.79.

But if I have the tools to shoot this video, I need a computer to handle the editing duties. What better way than with a Mac. (And this is coming from a Windows guy).

So a Mac Pro Server from Apple runs $2,999.

Oh, and a screen is necessary, like the 27" cinema screen for $999.

Which brings the grand total up to $11,962.79.

So why am I asking for $20,000?

Well, the balance will be for human resources (i.e. actresses or other camera people) and for legal fees in getting paperwork filed and tests taken. At least for the first few shoots.

Alright. I'll hedge my bets and raise the seed money need up to $25,000.

Now that I look at it...this isn't that easy. Or cheap.

Unless I hit the jackpot, it looks like a pipe dream. I'm better off being a fan, huh?

In addition to "The Biggest Tits in Vegas" on Saturday, October 27, there is another BBW special event taking place the following night. Thick Sundaes are a monthly happening here in Las Vegas at one of our fine strip clubs.

Event Promotion: Biggest Tits in Vegas (10/27/2012)

If you are a fan of BBWs, plan on being in Las Vegas at the end of October, have some disposable income and want to spend some time with two lovely ladies, then I should alert you to an event that will be happening in about three weeks.

The beautiful Lexxxi Luxe and the sexy Cotton Candi present "The Biggest Tits in Vegas."

See Lexxxi Luxe (38P breasts) and Cotton Candi (measurements: 58M-40-56) film a couple of G/G scenes, receive autographs from the ladies, attend a private VIP stripping party that night, and (if verifiably tested before filming day) participate in a bukkake with both women.

The entire day costs $125 to attend, but you also receive for the cost of registration a 30 day membership to Lexxxi-Luxe.com, CottonCandi.com, and a meal and a beverage.

For more information, or to purchase tickets, visit CottonCandi.com or Lexxxi-Luxe.com.

Review: Fat Pussy

Sometimes I get DVDs and the titles give me pause. Review a film called, “Fat Pussy?” Not normally what I want to do. But it’s from Juicy Entertainment/Plumper Nation, and I had a fairly good experience viewing one of their other films, so I gave it a whirl. The title comes directly from a line in one of the scenes (Kacey Parker) so it made me feel a bit better about reviewing it.

What I Liked
Plumper Nation does a good job finding good looking women and getting them connected with guys who seem to like BBWs. I find that to be refreshing in the films I’ve seen from this company. Also, watching this film there was (gasp!) men going down on women and eating their pussy. It’s shocking in this day and age to find that happening. Too often it’s men getting their dick sucked and on to the sex. As someone who enjoys performing oral sex on his female partner, it brought a tear to my eye. Best scene: Kacey Parker’s. Hands down.

What I Disliked
Like one of the other films from this company, I have to complain about the sound. There were a few scenes that had outdoor setups/pick up scenes, and the sound for the outdoor scenes were (to quote Charles Barkley), “turrible.”

DVD Quality
DVD featured a gallery. That’s it. That’s the list.

Overall Thoughts
Describing another film from this company, I used the term “no frills” to describe what you get. I think that is apt for this one as well.

Review: Plumpers Like It Big

When I was a little kid growing up, we occasionally would go shopping at one of the chain grocery store and buy “no frills”staples. Pantry items, canned goods, etc. The no frills packing (and I vividly remember this) was white labeling with black writing. What does this have to do with the film “Plumpers Like It Big”that was released by Plumper Nation. Consider it very much a “no frills”type of film. That doesn’t mean it is bad; just know that there are not going to be a lot of bells and whistles with the DVD. Different, not better or worse.

What I Liked
The blurb on the back says “Big Girls Like Big Cocks.” I don’t know about that, but I do know that five very beautiful women were featured in some pretty hot sex scenes. Mazzeratie Monica’s scene to lead off was excellent. I’m looking forward to seeing more from this young woman. The other thing I liked, and what I think is sometimes missing from BBW movies, is that the guys actually seemed to be into the sex. I don’t always see the visual representation that the guys are there for more than a check, but this film showed guys who didn’t mind/actually liked being with BBWs.

What I Disliked
The sound quality was a bit up and down for my taste. It could have used better mixing. I know, I know; who watches porn for sound mixing? But it helps to not have to ride volume control on the remote while watching.

DVD Quality
DVD featured a gallery. Oh, and I guess you can pick which scene you want to start with. That’s sums up the extras you get.

Overall Thoughts
While the DVD doesn’t have any extras beyond a photo gallery, this is a case where no frills can be a nice option. The women are beautiful, the sex is entertaining and plentiful without a lot of set up and silly build up. Sometimes simple is good.

Burning Question: Porn Star LTR?

We have a burning question provided by the lovely Betty Blac that I told her I would answer in a blog post instead of a tweet. The question:

Would you marry or have a ltr with a porn star? Why or why not? Open or closed relationship?
— Betty Blac (@BettyBlac1) October 1, 2012

Well. Here we go.

Kissing Ass Alone Won't Cut It

I am far from an expert on most things. I am still learning about the adult industry, for one thing. I am learning more about the BBW genre on a daily basis as well, and some of the subgenres present within the field.

I am also far from an expert when it comes to women, although there are times when I feel less foreign in that arena than in others that actually fall within my purview.

With all of that being said...guys, it might be time to review a few rules of engagement centering around interacting with your favorite adult industry worker. It could be a contract girl, a BBW Plumper Pass actress, a SSBBW Cam Girl, an escort...whoever or whatever floats your own particular pontoon.

Featured Scene: Lexxi Luxe on BBWs Gone Black

38P bust size? P?

Yep. It must be the gorgeous Lexxi Luxe. The woman with the amazing rack and cute smile is today's featured scene over at BBWs Gone Black.



The set up is that Lexxi wants to go out with her girls, but her man has other plans. And his other plans involve her, the couch and those wonderfully soft pillows on her chest. Oh, and some hair pulling and titty smacking, too.

You can see how his best, ahem, "laid" plans turn out over at BBWs Gone Black, part of the Plumper Pass Network.

Coming Soon: Evil Angel's "BBW GOLD" by Joey Silvera

As a long time fan of porn in general (going on about 18 years at this point), I have seen a lot that has come and gone in the industry. For me, today, there are a few name directors that I am a big fan of.

I still like Rodney Moore (even if I was a bit star struck and babbled a bit when I did get to meet him at BBW Fan Fest in July). I am also a fan of the work that Mike John and Tim Von Swine. Another director I admire is Joey Silvera.

Yeah, some of his stuff is probably a bit outside of mainstream for most folks, but I think his overall body of work speaks for itself, and I tend to think that he treats his actors with respect during filming. I don't see the thread of humiliation that tends to rear its head when dealing with subgenres and the areas that people view as fetishes. 

Imagine my excitement, then, when I heard about Joey's upcoming release called, "BBW Gold."

 Joey Silvera doing a BBW film?

Featuring Lexxi Luxe, Kelly Shibari, Betty Blac, Buxom Bella, Sam 38G and Minnie Mayhem? I'm sold. 

Review coming as soon as I get my grubby little hands on it. It comes out on October 10, 2012.

For now, drool along with me at the trailer.

 

From the, "LOL...WHUT? Are you shitting me? Files"

Reading a piece on MSN.com today about how some magazine are retouching the pictures of models. Not that this is news in and of itself, as there has been plenty written about how models are airbrushed and (controversially) made to look thinner.

But this piece, which is actually from Blisstree.com, is about the more sinister trend of taking thin models, and making them look, well, fuller.

It's called "reverse retouching" where a skinny model has weight added to the thighs, midsection and arms.

Which begs this question, as far as I am concerned: Why not used models that are fuller in the first place?

Don't tell me that there is a lack of beautiful women that are not size 00. They exist; I see them every day out here where I live in the Las Vegas area. There are beautiful women of all shapes and sizes.

I don't see the need to expend the extra effort to now perpetuate a myth at all.

If you want a thin model, use a thin model. Don't take someone and make them skinny.

If you want a fuller model, then for goodness sake, go out and find them.

The artificiality of these major fashion magazine and ads makes me want to vomit.

The Lust List, Summer 2012: A biennial review

So apparently, every two years, I get around to tackling the blog again and decide that I should probably update the lust list. After all, there are some people that didn't get on it last time that I would like to highlight, and of course there is newer talent as well.

Of course, this list is in no way, shape or form comprehensive, as I only chose nine lovely women for this entry. I am always on the lookout for others, and hopefully I can get it together enough to do more entries (making it biannual instead of biennial. We will see.)

Again, to reiterate, the main rule of the lust list is that it is attractive women that, in an ideal world I would have a chance to have sex with. That ideal world features me being in a helluva lot better shape than I am in and being involved in the adult industry. So, yes, it is pretty damn far from reality.

The only caveat at this point is that I try not to list women I've already listed.
