Friday Quickies!
When we read the April issue of Marie Claire, we seriously bugged out over the story, “My Sister The Porn Star” by Robert Radin. First of all, it was depressing and creepy, two words we’re not used to associating with a fashion-happy lady mag. Second of all, it kind of pissed us off that the writer of the story seemed to be weirdly voyeuristic and, dare we say it, pervy about discovering that his sister was an adult film star. While the article went into the details of Radin’s sister’s tragic life, it didn’t give any insight into whether, you know, he gave a crap if she was dead or alive. Her story seemed like a quick and easy way for him to make a quick buck. Thankfully, we’re not alone in this sentiment. Nerve sums it up very nicely.
We sent out Frisky TV reporter Lori to ask men and women on the street a puzzling question—would you rather watch a dirty video with your mom and dad, or one starring mom and dad? Here are the dismayed responses.

Big news in the porn world, ladies. Jenna Jameson, star of such films as Briana Loves Jenna and Blue Movie, announced at the Adult Video News Awards Ceremony in Las Vegas this weekend that she was retiring from porn, telling the crowd, “I will never spread my legs for this industry again.” I couldn’t really give a hoot, but what I absolutely love about this video of the event is A) Jenna’s whole Dorothy Gale in Oz romanticism on getting into porn at 18 and B) the absolutely ludicrous amount of nominees up for the award she’s presenting. Literally, there are 15 nominees for “Crossover Star Of the Year”—who didn’t get nominated? Also, what is a crossover star? Did one of these people—Lexington Steele, maybe?—make an appearance on Grey’s Anatomy or something? So confused. [YouTube]
