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!
Thanks for all you do!
Happy International Women’s Day 2010!
xoxo

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.
Here are a few select picks from us! Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a while since we reviewed a scene from Belladonna’s Strapped Dykes – honestly, I don’t know what the hell is wrong with us because this is one amazing porno. Today I’m looking at the third scene starring some of my favorite people who fuck on film: Syd Blakovich, Jiz Lee with Sage Sinn.
If you like strap-on sex like me, this might just be the best 36 minutes of your life. All three women are wielding cocks and they definitely know what they’re doing. Of course, they make use of their mouths and hands too and watching Syd finger bang Jiz while she’s face down on the floor is pretty awesome.
While there’s a ton of hot action, the ending is really the part that blew me away. Jiz is on her back and while Syd fucks her with a big Vixen dong and Sage works her clit. While I know that sounds totally rad, the way she pounds that cock into Jiz’s cunt until she squirts is way hotter than I can express in words.
If you’re a fan of Belladonna’s movie or any of the three amazing stars, this is a must see scene. It’s frenzied and messy and all of those good things I’ve come to expect from a group of people who have a vision for adult that goes way beyond the boring status quo.
By the way, I just have to say I love the country-alt song that starts off the scene. If you pay attention to music in porn like me, this one is a real treat.

Back in the summer of 2001, sex columnist (and my personal hero) Dan Savage held a contest to give a proper name to the act of a woman fucking a man in the ass with a strap-on dildo. After a month of receiving ideas and casting a reader vote, Savage officially welcomed “pegging” into the pervy lexicon. Since then, “pegging” has caught on like wildfire and is now common knowledge for the anally awesome act of strapping-on and going to town on your boy’s bottom.
This week’s Top Five Tuesday is all about asses – well, men’s asses really, as we are featuring pegging aplenty and celebrating all the fabulous things a woman can do with her dude’s dirt star*! Read the rest of this entry »

I can’t decide whether I want to throw up on my shoes or sprout wings and fly… Jiz Lee, Courtney Trouble and I are running past the front entrance of the Palms Hotel and Casino, exactly three minutes late for the red carpet and the excitement is palpable. Tonight is such a big night and we have spent the last two hours gearing up for our shining moment. I’m wearing a sculptural black strapless mini dress and 6 inch heels, Jiz is in pinstripe pants and chaps and Courtney is looking fierce in a black striped dress with a gold bolero jacket and perfect make-up. And we match. Black and gold, all. Black because we are artists and gold because we are fucking stars. And yes, it’s worth cussing about because life at this moment is very, very good.
We make it to the line up inside a side room at The Palms and breathe a deep sigh of relief. In line is April Flores, looking outrageous in a pink latex confection. She hands me a bottle of snapple mixed with vodka and bless her, I take a swig to soothe my nerves. We made it – in more ways than one; to the venue, to the AVNs and to points in our careers that we each never fully allowed ourselves to dream of. When I did my first scene five years ago, I was just exploring a side of my sexuality and identity that was performative. I had no idea if people would like it. When Courtney started, she just wanted to make authentic and hot queer porn. And Jiz? Well she is just a badass, I guess we all are, we all have been and being here feels like a surreal moment of being cognizant of that.
In line, we are surrounded by other badasses. Joanna Angel and the Burning Angel crew are right behind us looking tattooed, fierce and sexy. Jenna Haze passes us in line and Belladonna and Bobbi Starr soon do the same. Up ahead is the press junket, a long line of camera flashbulbs and correspondents with microphones firing questions. We walk and pose, walk and pose and Jiz and Courtney flank me, two of the sexiest “shortys” I have ever had the pleasure of posing next to. This year the red carpet is running much more smoothly than years past, no one is fighting, a few attitudes are thrown around but hey, this is porn after all and attitudes often inform conceptualizations of sex appeal.
In addition to the quick walk, the lovely set-up and the different location, this year the AVNs have added a “Twitter Pit,” a group of Twitterers brought together for the sole purpose of tweeting about the event and hopefully getting it to trend on Twitter. In the pit are some of our queer porn loving buddies and high on the energy of the red carpet, we decide to pull a little stunt. Well, not so little actually; it is Jiz Lee’s strapped Outlaw cock and she unbuckles her chaps and I whip it out as we all pose for a few more pictures, introducing the AVN world and cyberspace to just how the Queer Porn Mafia does things.

Las Vegas got even pornier than usual this past weekend, playing host to the 2010 AVN Awards and Adult Entertainment Expo! Touted as the Academy Awards of porno, the AVNs celebrate the best and brightest of adult and are a huge deal in the industry. It’s a major honor to even be nominated.
We here at HM4Her have been gearing up for the awards for weeks, reviewing nominated movies daily and generally getting pumped for everyone that received a nod.
So many of our favorite porno folks headed down to the awards this weekend, including Dylan Ryan, who has been blogging for us along the way, and it seems like everyone had a deliciously debaucherous time, whether they came away with an award or not. And while not everyone we were rooting for went home with an award, the winners’ circle definitely included a ton of awesome adult stars and movies that deserve the recognition they received!

Happy New Year’s Eve! Can you believe we are back at December 31st again? Crazy, right? It seems like 2009 flew by here at HM4Her, what with all the awesome changes and exciting additions we’ve had since January. This year brought us an amazing influx of movies, including some of the hottest queer flicks around, as well as some of the best porno parodies we have ever seen and a whole armload of classics that are making their video-on-demand debut!
2009 welcomed our newest team member, the fabulous FrzKey, on board, as well as our awesome behind-the-scenes affiliate managers, Josh and Jessica. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to some of our friends, including HotMoviesForHer creator, Venus Vegas. While we are sad that we no longer get to work with such an awesome lady, we are super excited that she is still in the industry, working with Stockroom.com, and we see her online all the time.
To finish this year out with a bang, we ladies of HM4Her decided to let you in on what made our year extra special and round up all the stuff that we loved in the last twelve months. Not only do you get our favorite movie picks, you get the top of what we love toywise, bookwise and lifewise too! So sit back, relax and enjoy our little trip down memory lane!

And the votes are in! The 2010 AVN Award nominees have been announced, and this year the picks are better than ever. Basically the Oscars of porn, the AVN Awards honor the best and brightest of porno movie royalty. So, yeah, they are a big freaking deal. This year we are extra excited because so many of our favorite performers are on the list! We are super happy for them and know they all completely deserve the nominations. Check out the full nomination list.
While many of the folks nominated have had the pleasure of making the list in previous years, I want to make sure to give a special shout out to some HM4Her crushes that are celebrating their first AVN Award nominations this year. Especially the San Francisco queers that are breaking through the mainstream barriers of porn and bringing their insanely sexy gender/sexuality bending action to the masses. This year is the first that AVN is recognizing the work they do as being on par with some of the most well known names in mainstream porn.
So, who am I talking about? Jiz Lee, Dylan Ryan and Pink and White Productions (dir. Shine Louise Houston)! I remember that last year we were excited when queer performer Syd Blakovich walked the AVN red carpet as Madison Young’s date, and now look at us – cheering on these awesome queers for their own nominations! And surprisingly, it’s not for a queer category either. Jiz is up for Best New Web Starlet, Dylan for Best Solo Sex Scene, and Pink and White for their Best Video Feature, “Champion,” which was shot with a mostly queer/trans/gender non-conforming/people of color cast and crew and with a way smaller budget than any other movie in the nomination category. Hot, right? So, congrats to these rad pervs! Who cares who wins… the nod is freaking awesome.
Some of our other favorite porno gods/goddesses that made the list this year are:
Nica Noelle – Director of the Year
Kimberly Kane – Best Actress
James Deen – Best Actor/ Male Performer of the Year
Carlos Batts – Best Director (Non-Feature)
Roulette – Best Music Soundtrack (I told you!)
Sweet Sinner – Best New Line
Good Releasing – Best New Video Production Company
Sasha Grey – Best New Web Starlet/ The Jenna Jameson Crossover Star of the Year
Belladonna – pretty much every award
Tommy Gunn – Best Actor/ Best Supporting Actor
Penny Flame – Best Supporting Actress
Joanna Angel – Director of the Year
Dana DeArmond – Female Performer of the Year
Buck Angel – Transsexual Performer of the Year
Seriously, there are so many awesome movies and performers nominated, I could spend the whole day making a list. Why don’t you just check out the whole list here.
Congrats to one and all!
xoxo

I’m a little speechless right now, so let me just say that there is plenty of hotness to get your through to the weekend at the photo gallery from the Fleshbot Awards. All of our favorite stars were there including Belladonna, Jiz Lee, Syd Blakovich, Joanna Angel and Darenzia. Sadly, I was not…
My words can’t really capture the amazingness, you just really need to check it all out at fleshbot.com

We’ve been patiently waiting for this movie since we first heard that Syd Blakovich and Jiz Lee were heading down to L.A. to shoot with Belladonna. Seriously, how could Jiz, Syd, Belladonna AND April Flores (among others) not put on one hell of a show? With one look at the screen caps, we just knew that we’d be doing this flick a great injustice by trying to review it all at once. Oh no, we want this puppy to last! So instead of one giant post, we are tackling this hotness with scene-by-scene reviews and making sure we give you very juicy detail. You’re welcome.
The opening scene belongs to porn goddess Belladonna and queer star extraordinaire Jiz Lee. They start off so tame, fully-clothed and making out on the couch, and soon turn to trading underpants (or should I say undergarments, as Jiz’s super sexy jock strap isn’t exactly panties) and really get down to business.
Can I just say, fuck plot. I know that I’m usually up for a good story, but trying to bring a real plot into this scene would totally take away from the insanely hot action. Yeah, they jump into the hardcore XXX with little warning, but with this one, you can see the sex in their eyes and you know how badly they want to get it on. I know I was pretty much chomping at the bit for these two to take off their clothes, so I can just imagine how ready to go they were.
While I obviously need nothing extra to get into this scene, it definitely made the whole experience even better to know that these performers are genuinely excited to work with each other. When this movie was in the works, I remember seeing tweets from both Jiz Lee and Belladonna talking about how they couldn’t wait to start filming and how awesome it was going to be. I don’t know about anyone else, but for me, knowing that there is such a positive and fun back story just helps enhance my boner.
Anyway, back to the sexin’. Of course I loved watching them both strap cocks on and fuck each other, but I think that my favorite part of the whole scene was listening to their dirty talk. It was just very different than dirty talk that I’m used to hearing in porn. Sure, there was lots of moaning and “yeah, baby,” but their sexy talk was a little gigglier and involved lots of smiles. It almost came off like they were really shy or smitten with each other – and for some reason I found it to be mind-blowingly hot. What can I say, what gets me off in porn isn’t always the fucking.
Bella and Jiz most definitely get two thumbs up in my book, and if I had more thumbs, they’d get those too. For now, they will just have to settle for a massive grin and a promise to take work home tonight.
