Lest you thought you were watching yet another reason for the mothballing of Guantanamo Bay, the mass ass-presentation of (from left) Ava Rose, Bobbi Starr, Bree Olson, Trinity Post, and Mika Tan to the cruel whips of Nina Hartley and Claire Adams that led this story was in honor of the release of "O2: The Surrender of O."

Here Adams scandalizes the proper Hartley with some ribaldry.

At the Webmaster Access West convention, an annual get-together of Internet nerds who happen to own the porn industry, The Internet's Ashley Steele poses with two eskimo girls from the affiliate program Flashcash. Who cares if she can't see Russia from her house?

Then Bobbi Starr returned at Hollywood's Golden Apple Comics to launch Nerdcore's 2009 calendar (she's Miss November). As you can see, here she is attempting to fist the Silver Surfer.

Finally, we caught geektrix extraordinaire Justine Joli trying to leave the city of Los Angeles. "If you try to keep me," she did not say, "you never really had me."

Is Lisa Ann and Raquel Devine made special effort to channel the Veep nominee, the delightful Alana Evans was just blonde as Cindy McCain. We approve this choice.

Also on hand in this Adam & Eve movie was newcomer Feather Rosewood. Here she dutifully reenacts a pivotal scene from "Love Is A Battlefield."

But Rosewood tells us she restricts her nudity to solo scenes, if at all, so it is Sadie West, the brand-new New Sensations contract performer, who catches our fancy this week.

"I can fuck for a pretty long time," she said. "And I'm not afraid to get naked."

Fine. Be that way.

Join us after the gap for more Popshots, in which we show porn stars not as the world sees them but how they really are.

The striking Coco Velvett slowly melted into that couch for the next 45 minutes as Destiny turned into a demon.

In posh Bel-Air, bite-sized Teagan modeled her new breasts for photographer Holly Randall. "They actually bunce when I run," said Teagan.

Meanwhile, Roxy DeVille says, "Hello, Fleshbot Readers!"

"People would tell me about your ass, Teagan, " said the towering DeVille, "but I really had to see it to believe it. Oh My Fucking God."

Instead, here's Scarlett Fay in a picture she took herself. More Popshots (including that of the shemale midget) after the jump.

. . .

The shemale midget in question seems to have no name. Ordinarily we'd say that was fine, because how many shemale midgets could there be? She could simply be "The Shemale Midget."

But records for the site Shemale Juice (I need to be alone now) are kept in Brazil, where I think they've got a shemale midget president. So let us raise a caipirinha glass to the unknown female midget!

Adrianna Nicole, on the other hand, is not a midget. She is, in fact, a bee.

In an exclusive interview, Nicole was simultaneously coy and outrageous. "While I can't explain why I might have looked like a bee in this picture," she said, "all I can say is that my hive was full of honey and I think the two might go together."

If Nicole is a bee, we would like to keep the living daylights out of her.

The latest movie by Sex Z Pictures' director Eli Cross of "Upload" fame, "Icon" is what the porn world knows as a "high-end vignette" picture, where the setups are a little more complex than Pool Guy Drops Trunks, Load.

From what we were able to determine as we ourselves stood on that roof, "Icon" features Scott as an A-Ha-by-way-of Xtina alternate reality warrior who pulls similarly underdressed women (including Jennifer Dark, Tori Black, and Morgan Layne) through a mirror to have sex with them on a four-poster bed on a roof at three in the morning when you can see your breath as L.A. police helicopters fly overhead.

This observer was overcome with a newfound respect for porn performers who nakedly brave the testicle-receding temperature to churn out three-to-seven minute increments of fapworthy product for your delectation.

Of course, Hillary Scott has no testicles to recede, and that is exactly why I took pictures.

. . .

There are actually three core cast members not returning from the first "Not the Bradys": Cindi, originally played by the orthodontically fabulous Leah Luv, has been replaced by Kacey Jordan, and the role of Greg, once inhabited by Benjamin Brat, will now be interpreted by Chris Slater.

Returning will be the delightful Aurora Snow as Jan, the wicked Alana Evans as Carol, the frank Lynn Lemay as Alice, and the reasonable Mike Horner as Mike. James Deen returns as Peter in a role he was born to play.

But if Hillary Scott isn't here, where is she? Stay tuned.

In the dawn of iPod Nano technology Parker stole away to pose in secret locations around Chatsworth. It was obvious then why Parker would be a big hit with fans.

The story is as American as "The Grapes of Wrath": two roller rivals settle their differences in each others' vaginas and somehow Ron Jeremy is involved. What's more, Kayden Kross adds that special element to luchador surf-guitar music.

L.A.'s Fearleaders cheer on a cast of non-nude but just as compelling extras, including members of a real-life L.A. women's roller derby league.

Penny Flame adjusts her blades, Eva Angelina dazzles the camera, and Sunny Lane ponders a return to her former career of figure skating as Alektra Blue surveys the scene. Sunny and Alektra are the cast's most accomplished skaters.

Don't ask what Ava Rose used to polish the floor; just be happy for me.

Bree Olson needlessly adjusts something (don't adjust a goddamn thing) while the referee explains a call to Sunny Lane.

A member of Glendale's Moonlite Rollerway staff told me that the rink's Over 50 club would be skating right over this spot the next day. If they had only seen Bree et al this way, doubtless they would not conclude that youth is wasted on the wrong people.

Regardless, the finest of what this region has to offer frolicked anew this week, knowing that six long hours of winter would soon be over. Here's the delightful Audrey Hollander doffing her folksy gingham dress for our delectation. See more snaps after the gap.

In response to Digital Playground's recent contract star announcements, we wanted to remind you of Stoya. That is all.

Here's Adrianna Nicole and Annette Schwarz looking Adriannettadorable™.

Speaking of doffing, young Britney Stevens doffed her frilly tutu on the set of Hustler's "XXX 28", directed by Hollander's husband Otto Bauer.

Whatever Alec Knight is doing, he is making both Kissy Kapri and Stevens react the exact same way on either end.

Finally, Audrey Hollander from earlier in the day, in the dress she took off for the picture that began this week's Popshots. Doesn't she look good wholesome?

We begin with a return to last weekend's San Francisco Fetish Ball, where we couldn't tell what hurt more — those restraints or that electrical tape. See more snaps after the gap.

People really have fun at these events. In the background is Cousin Stevie, 65, uttering some variant of "I can't believe I get to do this."

Heather Silk's lactation (she's a second-time mom) became a hot topic during the day.

Flower Tucci has back and knows its marketing potential. Her instruction to the cameraman was, "Go in low so my ass looks huge."

The raw and the cooked: Tucci oils up Silk before lathering up herself.

"You've got a thick-ass 17-inch PowerBook, I see," I said, knowing that if a crashing satellite had cut me off before I mentioned the Mac product my last words on this Earth would still have been true. "What do you think of the MacBook Air?" I asked.

"Too flimsy," she said.

Lucky bastard Cousin Stevie is joined by Heather Silk, who came from Florida to star in the upcoming 24th installment of his "Pussy Party" series.

"I thought you loved me best," said (Another Reason To Love) Canada's Tina Tyler as we snapped a picture of some here-today-gone-tomorrow 19-year-old flibbertigibbet. We do love you best, Tina; if you would only let us cry.

We were embarrassed when the appearance of gay porn auteur Michael Lucas and Titan vice president Keith Webb caused us to lose control of our camera. We took several bad pictures and Lucas' face did not move an inch. Finally he said, "Just stand back there and take it."

Ashley Steel (whom we taught Latin) celebrated her semi-anniversary with Internet gadfly Halcyon Styn. "Are you living in Styn?" we probed. "No, but I keep Q-Tips at his house," said Steel.

While Jesse Jane rovided interview wrap-ups from a stage just outside the Awards, Casey Parker was Playboy's Girl on the Floor, and as such she probably appeared in more photographs than anyone. By the end f the evening she was just as chipper as in the beginning. Here she chats with jessica drake about oing anal. ("You don't just dive in," drake said.)

Flower Tucci can always be counted on for an outfit that seems at once accessible and impossibly out of reach. Here she confounds us with a prize that could only be won after several frustrating hours of unlacing.

Marco Banderas and partner Lisa DeMarco (get it?) cut striking figures, but what was more impressive was Banderas' skill at turning just in time toward any camera aimed at him from anywhere in the room, as if to say, "Hola, Fleshbot readers!"

I hear things are just as bad up in Lake Erie.

We have never been sure of Robin Leach's function at this event, but we always see him. Leach's own cameraman was beloved of porn stars for asking Jenna Jameson and Tera Patrick who they were (thugh he did recognize Jameson beau Tito Ortiz). Meanwhile, Leach kept a personal record of the Not So Rich and Famous.

At the opposite end of the carpet performers were kept in yet another holding pen.

Former performer Joe Lawrence and signees of his talent agency were the last to walk the red carpet. Much of the press had left at this time since the awards show was two hours late, but no porn star was left behind.

The delightful Page Morgan couldn't even get into the bar where the party for Vena Virago's "Eastside Story" was held. Why? Because she was only 19, the poor thing. She gamely posed on some motorcycles outside. When we attempted the same pose, we were beaten and horribly mutilated.

Karlie Montana, Ava Rose, and Tommy Gunn discuss their motivation for an upcoming scene. Strangely enough, those are the outfits they were wearing on the way in.

Kylie Ireland explains the finer points of applied dildology to Lorelei Lee and Princess Donna on the set of a Slutwerks movie.

We were just a little bit in love with this series of photos from the filming of "Barely Legal 75" this summer, as well we should have been. Here I ask the girls to channel their favorite emo artists.

Newly-minted Fleshbot Crush Object Jenny Hendrix on one of her phones wearing one of her extensions. Both the extensions and the phone were gone by the end of the year.

While her breasts were not the focus on the set of "Azz Fest 6" this week, she did us the favor of showing them anyway. Here she and Mr. Pete wonder what an "azz" is, anyway.

Monique Alexander and Samantha Ryan react differently to the prospect of Fleshbot readers seeing them naked. I think Ryan has the right idea, though we'd let Alexander take a shot at convincing us, too.

We got a passel of photos from amateur porn shoots in Peru this week (all models are over 18) and were fascinated with this woman's take on the schoolgirl motif.

Spice Networks, a filthy little division of Playboy, threw a party for the release of Zenova Braeden's "The Taunting" last night in Hollywood. On hand were star Lystra and the multitalented Aiden Starr, who served as costumer for the movie.

Lystra was made up (in the film) to look like Sadako from "Ringu" and she was so frightened by the poster that she said she was going to hang it facing the wall. Lystra is intriguing. Last time we met Lystra, she was in a cage.

Reenacting a scene from "Evil Head" were Gia Paloma and Tommy Pistol. "Your hair looks different," I observed. "I wore a wig!" she pointed out. Last time we met Gia, she was in a cage.

"I was the only porn girl at this one," she said. "I was signing copies of 'Cum on My Tattoo'. There was a huge line. I think that at porn conventions guys just want a pretty girl to smile at them, and any one will do. These people were there to see me."

Stormy Daniels, Jesse Jane, and Carmen Luvana proved that contract girls for different companies can exist in the same place at the same time without Lionel Stander declaring that "it was murder". Here they are at Tampa's Nightmoves show last week.

(Jesse has a tattoo of the Playboy Bunny under her navel.)

The ubiquitous Michelle Aston sprawls on a bench outside Justice Howard's Toys Kill show in Hollywood last week. Aston was featured in the photo exhibition and just about everywhere else. "I'm tired oof teaching 20-year-olds how to fuck," she mused. I reminded her that I was 22.

Finally, Marco Banderas and loveely Newcastle-born wife Lisa DeMarco (get it?) pose in Tampa. We are not sure if either member of the couple has tattoos, but Banderas could probably focus the white hot rays of the sun with his teeth to cook up a workable one of those coccygeal butterflies.

It actually shot several globules of manchowder every 30 seconds onto an illuminated "2007". Despite this display of coming on an abstraction falling well within California's sodomy laws, I still found it unsettling.

Chi Chi LaRue called everyone in the audience a bitch or a whore at least twice, and yet they loved him.

Here's Trina Michaels, a performer of whom we're very fond but who has never become porn-famous. You can see her stripping around the country, for she has very strong legs.

When I took this picture in November 2005, I didn't know who this woman was and I didn't think to ask. After all, everyone else posing was just pulling a boob out here or there but this woman was stark naked. Two years later I met her on the set of "Barely Legal 75" and she was stark naked again! It was only after all those months of mental and physical conditioning that I had the presence of mind to ask her name. This is the delightful Jenny Hendrix.

Before the world fell in love with Joanna Angel, I would have probing conversations with her about her lunch and the Jews. Here she is during one of her first pornic trips to L.A., where she eventually moved (as everyone told her she would).

Belladonna's benevolent presence suffused the filming of an Ashley Blue foot fetish scene in Laurel Canyon. Blue's scene with lucky bastard Steve Taylor actually depicted none of the five parts of the female anatomy I find most intriguing, but we managed to get hold of two beforehand. So it worked out for everybody!

Here's Heather Pink in Joe Gallant's (sort of) unreleased "The Screw Movie", more or less about Screw Magazine. Pink plays a porn starlet seeking to further her career by having sex with a writer. Like that happens. Oddly enough, fucking the writer is part of the zeitgeist lately, as that was also the theme of the Ashley Blue foot scene.

Finally, Fleshbot contributor/east coast intellectual Audacia Ray visited Fleshbot West-area couples' emporium Freddy & Eddy this week to read from her tome "Naked on the Internet". We both wondered if something was real if we didn't blog about it.

Seminars at the Forum included discussions of content security, generating web traffic, financial planning for porn professionals (this was a great idea), and a thinly-disguised cry for help from XBiz staff on how to write and submit a press release to them (admirably, they did not use real-life examples).

Unlike the AVN convention, this to-do didn't really have porn performers meeting and greeting, though there were some about, like Wray. Mostly, though, there were rented models from local and L.A. agencies, like the waitresses and these ladies flogging affiliate program CECash.

But when you've got to rent a waitress, you definitely do it in style.

"Are those prescription?" I asked.

"Yes, and yes," she replied.

The Hard Rock's pool attracted more people than the seminars did, but then again it was about a thousand degrees out. And why does one need to know about Internet Security and the 2257 regulations, anyway? We're going to live forever! Venus, if you will? Throw me that promotional frisbee!

I thought Sasha Grey was the Best Dressed at this year's Erotica L.A., but she put a little effort into it. Ava Rose looks this good when she rolls out of bed (actually she looks a little better than this when she rolls out of bed). Did that sound dirty, too? I don't care anymore.
