Janine's Pipe Dreams

I’m sure that a lot of you guys know that Janine has stepped away from the adult biz.

I really think that’s too bad. I see a LOT of images of pornstars every single day. And in an industry full of gorgeous women, I honestly think she’s a standout.

Anyway, my reason for mentioning this is that Vivid is streeting her last film today – Pipe Dreams. She appears in 4 scenes - 3 of which are B/G - and it sounds like it gets kind of fetishy. Check it out if you are so inclined & if you like what you see, you can find her entire catalog here - highlights of which would be Maneater, Janine’s Got Male & of course, Pirates.

Now on to the homepage!

Solid entries from Jules Jordan (Deep In Latin Cheeks) & Zero Tolerance (Apple Bottomz #4) make the top spots. Alexander Devoe is becoming a sure thing for great ethnic titles here at AVU. And you just cannot ignore a cover with Alexis Texas on it.

The first of two titles that I would say just missed it this week are Anal Teen Tryouts #17 from Devil’s Films. This young lady has what appear to be natural assets. If they are, good for her! If not, her doctor should be proud!

The second would have to be Destiny from New Sensations. Aside from another lovely dark-haired covergirl in Roxy, I’m always intrigued by features from studios that are most known for their gonzo titles. That one is going on my screening list.

Well, that’s it for today. Have a happy, sexy Halloween!

P.S. Don’t forget! We are putting up all new starlets for November! That and another brand new promo should be up tomorrow.

AVU Top Selling Titles

Hi all,

Last week, I mentioned the new Jada Fire Squirtwoman title…well apparently someone was listening because it’s got great sales numbers already & I’m expecting to see it hit the top sellers list soon.

Speaking of which, you guys seem pretty well aware of the Top 10 listed on the right side of all our pages, but did you realize that there are 2 other ways to access longer lists of the top movies at AVU?

The little word “More” at the top of the list brings you to the Top 50 ranked on our site. And so you know, that list is based strictly on the last 30 days of sales. There’s no monkey business. We’ve been asked by studios – “How can I get my title on that top 10 list?” Easy! Our customers have to buy more copies of your title! That’s it.

I often wonder if that’s why our top titles differ so much from other sites. Sure, we’ve got some new releases that take off quickly – generally titles that we’ve picked for the homepage or an e-mail spotlight like Lesbian Seductions #15.

But there’s other titles that seem to come out of nowhere – like this 4-hour comp from Adam & Eve. When it came out a few months ago, it sold a few copies here & there…then suddenly it just took off! And now since it hit the list, it just keeps selling.

Anyway, the second link I’m talking about is the one at the bottom of the Top 10 that says “All time top sellers” is just that – a list of the Top 100 movies sold at AVU since the beginning of time…whatever.

Check out both of these charts when you get a chance – some titles have reviews, some don’t – but consider their staying power on the lists to be a recommendation in & of itself.

Oh & don’t forget Halloween is getting closer so if you want to add a different kind of excitement to your seasonal movie watching, you’d better get on that! We’ve got several promos to help you choose just the right flick Recent horror & Classic horror on our Straight site, Fetish Fantasy & Monster Cocks in Adult Toys & Scary Movies on our Gay site.

See ya next week!

Homepage update & Elegant Angel

Hello everyone!

As you can see, the new homepage features went up today!

I wanted to get those two Halloween titles up there & so there they are in the top spots – 2 very different movies! The Adam & Eve flick looks like a lot of fun – maybe a great one to slip into your Halloween night film festival. And the frathouse one…isn’t that how you always hoped those college parties would be?

A couple of the releases that juuuust got squeezed out of making this week's homepage are Savanna Samson’s new one & a Latin title from Naughty America featuring relative newcummer Evie Delatosso. (We featured her in our first batch of new starlets.)

Do you guys check out the New Release chart on the right side of the page?
It changes constantly depending on what came out & how hot the pre-orders are. I don’t generally pay a lot of attention to it because the stuff is moving fast & I’ll get a look at the titles soon anyway, but today’s update made me do a double-take…

Besides the stellar titles from New Sensations, Zero Tolerance, Evil Angel, & Vouyer Media…the one that really caught my eye was Jada Fire Is Squirtwoman #3. Incredible. Elegant Angel is really knocking it out of the park lately, right?

I know they’ve stepped up their product within the last year or so…but wow. With the latest editions of Buttwoman, Slutwoman & now Squirtwoman, the folks over there are really taking it up several notches at a time. To quote a respected source in my office, “You want to know about Elegant Angel? Honestly, I can’t say a single bad thing about their movies. They’re that good.”
I’ll just leave you with that tidbit of porn wisdom…

Dolores of My Heart & Dave Navarro's porn debut

Hey there,

New homepage features go up today! Aside from the final Fashionistas & the latest big-budget film from Wicked, be sure to check out Dolores of My Heart. I got a chance to screen some of it and I think it’s a fantastic couples film - production values are high and the scenes I viewed were incredibly sensual.

Also, Dave Navarro’s adult directorial debut, Broken, released this week & starring Sasha Grey. I haven’t seen it but the buzz surrounding it is HUGE.

As always, there are worthy titles that for one reason or another don’t make the homepage. This week the 2 that stand out to me are Andrew Blake’s latest, X #2 and Kevin Moore’s First Person Shooter with Jenna Haze, Rebecca Linares & Tory Lane.

A new promo is up as well – Cougars. Even though it’s not keeping with the Halloween stuff we’ve got going, it’s a pretty hot genre right now!

Speaking of Halloween – don’t forget to check out the promos we’ve got going. A quick rundown – Recent horror & Classic horror on our Straight site, Fetish Fantasy & Monster Cocks in Adult Toys & Scary Movies on our Gay site.

Hopefully, that’s something for everyone!

Halloween promos & new features

Hello all,

Well we’ve just put up several Halloween features. A few more will be starting up in a couple of days. And there’s also two more DVDs releasing next week with the Halloween theme…A gonzo college movie from Shane’s World & a Vampire comedy from Adam & Eve.

I’m going to try to fit at least one of these movies into the homepage somewhere.

And speaking of the homepage, Babysitters looks like the big winner this week. Teagan Presley, Jesse Jane & the trailer has the look of a mainstream movie…I really don’t think you can miss with that.

Much of the homepage chose itself this week…there were just that many great releases. I couldn’t pass up new titles featuring Brianna Love, Tera Wray & Stormy. But unfortunately, that left no room for Annette Schwarz & Belladonna.


Oh! I almost forgot! We’ve been running a new starlet promo! The girls will have 2 of their movies featured for one month. October’s ladies are Micah Moore, Melrose Foxxx, Paige Taylor, Jenny Hendrix, Courtney Page and Desiree Diamond. Be sure to check it out!
