I regret that I only just discovered Bike Smut today – this is something a few of you will most certainly enjoy. Bike Smut is a randy bicycle-centric erotic film fest for indies and amateurs of all stripes, makes and models, genders and orientations. Now in its 5th year, the fest has taken its show on the road across America and completed a six-month tour of Europe last year. For updates, you can follow Bike Smut on Twitter.
The only way to see Bike Smut is when it plays in a theater, bike shop or basement for a live audience. There are no DVDs for sale and no screeners for the media.
However, they do have a fun film clip page, a photo blog and a tour blog. Yay for indie porn! I found this via the NoFauXXX newsletter today with its mini feature of adorable model Poppy Cox that mentioned her work with Bike Smut – in fact, she’s one half of the dynamic duo behind Bike Smut.
A hologram Tupac was one thing, but the hologram hottie cavorting in a closed Parisian lingerie shop after hours might have been my favorite use of the 3D technology yet. Recently at Place Vendome, Paris, after 9pm at the flagship concept store for Empriente Lingerie a special private show could be watched through a street-level store window. “Lady Light” was a silvery hologram girl who pranced and played in different parts of the store to sexily model bra and panties while appearing and disappearing in showers of stars. The amazing spectacle is over, and I’m sad to have discovered it so late (it ran from May 23-26). Here’s to hoping I find out sooner in the future. (via Inspiration Room and Buzzfeed)

Unhappy with the current state of the porn market in Switzerland, Sabine Fischer and Sandra Lichtenstern began experimenting with vintage ‘70’s porn in 2009 and have built their project into a business that has sold thousands of copies of new videos in just a few months, mainly to young couples and almost entirely by word of mouth.

Recently the Village Voice exposed the Schapiro Group, a private consulting firm in Georgia, and the Women’s Funding Network of California, a women’s charity, for knowingly deceiving both congress and the public using false data manufactured through fraudulent research. These groups presented alarming reports of a sudden rise in trafficking and sexual exploitation of girls. Sex Trafficking Charities Caught Lying And Stealing Money (therealpornwikileaks.com)
That’s not Christian Bale above – that’s adult star Giovanni Francesco as Batman in Axel Braun’s upcoming porn parody Dark Knight Rises XXX.
Stills are starting to hit the internet for Axel Braun‘s Dark Knight and they’re so remarkable that some geek and comic forums are saying they’re almost more excited for Braun’s Dark Knight than Christopher Nolan’s. You might remember Braun from his epic Batman XXX porn sendup, which cleverly followed the retro TV series to otaku levels of obsessive geek perfection.
Here’s Bane, played by Derrick Pierce, being directed by Axel Braun:
The release date for Dark Knight Rises XXX (Vivid Video) is July 20, 2012 – simultaneously with Hollywood’s The Dark Knight Rises. Looking at Aiden Ashley as Catwoman (below) I think there is a very real risk that Braun’s straight-to-DVD version might be better than its non-porn doppelganger. Anne Hathaway who?
Braun’s Dark Knight XXX comes right after his an Avengers parody. Yay for geeks in porn! I now have a fantasy of taking the non-sex versions of Axel’s best parodies (Batman, Avengers, Star Wars, Scream, and likely Dark Knight and She Hulk) – and having a boozy, rambunctious screening. Sound fun?
Unfortunately, in yet another mainstream porn publicity fail, there is currently no film page or singular social media URL for Dark Knight XXX for me to send you to (I nabbed stills from Twitter and Facebook feeds of cast and director). I’ll let you know if one magically appears. Vivid isn’t doing anything to make these films easy to be a fan of, and their website’s film pages remind me of everyone’s angst about trying to watch HBO’s Game of Thrones. Boo hiss.

I found Elegy Ellem while chasing down threads from J. Isobel de Lisle's portfolio: this girl is so hot and fun to ogle online that she needs her very own post. Don't miss her substantial NSFW website and she's also on Twitter.*

Brilliant idea, and very real: "Grand Old Party" is a data visualization project that took Gallup approval ratings for Republican GOP candidates within a time frame, projected the data as butt plug shapes (finally, the GOP is anal-safe), printed them with a 3D printer and cast them in black silicone.
