Span, otherwise known as Anna Arrowsmith, has been chosen as a Liberal Democrat candidate in the general election for a seat in Gravesham in Kent.
“Explaining why she wanted to be an MP, the 38-year-old – whose films include Where’s The Rent Boys? (sic) – said she was ‘disgusted’ by the MPs’ expenses scandal and believes women are under-represented in Parliament.
Mrs Arrowsmith, who is fighting Tory Adam Holloway’s seat of Gravesham in Kent, said: ‘I am not a professional politician, I have worked all my life to set up a successful business and I want to fight for the rights of people in Gravesham.’”
After seeing the fruits of Span’s dedication to changing the porn industry and making it more female friendly, we have total faith that she will rock political office and make Britain an even better (and sexier!) place to be!
Today is Nina Hartley’s birthday! To celebrate the fabulously foxy fifty-one year old’s special day, we thought we’d highlight some of our favorite Nina flicks, as well as make sure you’ve checked out our awesome 20 questions interview with this porno legend.
Happy Birthday Nina! Thanks for all the amazing movies!
- Who else knows porn best? News anchor Megyn Kelly’s on-air Lawyer. Definitely stay tuned for the last 30 seconds!
- Speaking of lawyers, a Queens woman and her husband are suing a wig store for an accident where a mannequin head fell on her foot. Apparently the “injury” is disrupting their sex life because she can no longer make a fist with her toes. This actually makes me question – can folks sue for pain and suffering when their injury only affects the way they get off? Valid question!
- This is the week for sexy accident news! A recent car crash in the Florida Keys was caused by a woman trying to shave her bikini line while driving. She was on the way to see her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be ready for action when she arrived. Even weirder, her ex-husband was in the passenger seat, controlling the wheel as she trimmed down. Words defy… (via Jezebel) Read the rest of this entry »
After finally sitting down to watch Deep Throat yesterday, I was inspired to take a second look at some of the biggest names in classic porn – the ones that not only changed the adult industry, but also cemented themselves into pop culture fame. Plus, you know, the ones your parents saw in the theater when they came out. Well, at least mine did.
In no specific order, the top five classics you’ve definitely heard of, but probably never seen.
Each of this fabulous fuck flicks are a piece of pornographic history that every adult movie watcher should see in their lifetime. So get your super hot history lesson on and check them out! Trust me, the pop quiz is totally worth it. Read the rest of this entry »
Today is the 99th Annual International Women’s Day! Since 1911, March 8th has been the special global holiday when we celebrate the economic, political and social achievements of women – past and present.
Each year, organizations, governments, women’s groups, etc. select different themes that reflect issues that are important to them. And while we, of course, don’t need a specific day to show ladies how much we care, we think International Women’s Day is awesome and are participating to support all the awesome women of the world!
So, in honor of International Women’s Day 2010, we want to take a little time to bring some attention to a few of our favorite female porn directors!
Joanna Angel
Madison Young
Erika Lust
Courtney Trouble
Belladonna
Nica Noelle
Kathryn Annelle
Tristan Taormino
Shine Louise Houston
Porn would not be the same without any of these awesome ladies behind the camera!
Happy Friday! It’s Mixtape time once again and since the thermometer has reached over 40 degrees and it’s not snowing, I have decided that it is officially pre-spring! That’s right, the countdown has begun – only 15 days til the first day of spring! I’m getting ready for short sleeves and even shorter skirts. And in honor of that, I thought I’d bust out the sexiest video I’ve seen in quite some time (not including porno, duh).
Here it is – The Clik’s Lucas Silveira (Canada’s Sexiest Man! The first transman to ever win the title! Swoon!) covering Beyonce’s Halo.
Rounding out this awesome 2010 awards season, the 26th Annual X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) Awards nominees were announced today! Unlike the other awards such as AVN, XBIZ and even the Feminist Porn Awards, the XRCO honors are picked exclusively by adult industry writers, editors and porno reviewers! The winners will be announced at the ceremony in Hollywood on April 29th 2009. Find out more info at XRCO.com.
Although we ourselves are not on the XRCO board and have no say in the choices, we do have some of our own winner predictions from the 2010 noms.
Happy Humpday! Welcome back to the mid-week stretch. And welcome to March – the month that goes in lion and out like a lamb. It’s the month that officially brings us into the spring season, and I could not be happier. There’s nothing I love more than spring… well, watching folks fuck on screen isn’t too shabby either, but spring means I can watch people fucking on screen with the windows open! Anyway, that and the fact that it’s Humpday has put be in a fabulous mood and has me giddy and searching through the interwebs with vigor! Good thing you get the fruits of my labor! So sit back, relax and let’s get to it with a little link love!
- Speaking of things that are geeky awesome – Playing D & D With Porn Stars. That’s right, Dungeons and Dragons… Holy crap, does it get any nerdier/sexier?! I think not. (via Fleshbot)
- Fabulous San Francisco-based queer porn empire Pink and White Productions has recently published their safer sex best practices in porn standards, complete with health resources. Healthy safe sex = Awesomeness. Thanks Pink and White! (via Tiny Nibbles)
Today is a super exciting day! The 2010 Feminist Porn Award nominees have been announced!! So many of our favorite flicks from the last year are on the list and we really couldn’t be more proud of our lady porn community.
Showcasing the best of the best in porn made for and by forward-thinking feminist folks of all genders (though the movies have to have a woman’s hand in the production, writing, directing, etc.), the Feminist Porn Awards are the do all and say all when it comes to porn created specifically with women in mind.
HM4Her is so thrilled to be sponsoring the awards again this year! We are literally counting the days to the ceremony! That’s right, I (J.D.) will be at the awards in Toronto, April 8 & 9th representing HotMoviesforHer! Plus, the actual awards celebration will be kicked off with an evening of film screenings and round table discussions the night before. Find out more info here.
