April Flores, AKA FattyD, is always up to something fun and delicious and she’ll be celebrating the release of her sexy new video by acclaimed visual artist Carlos Batts on November 16th November 30th, in Hollywood, California. They were even nice enough to put our blurb on the party announcement! Wish we could go. Maybe we need to send some of our Hollywood ‘people’ over there to have fun for us by proxy. Friends and industry peeps should be sure to RSVP for the party in time, and even if you are not able to go, be sure to check out the sexy video. April has a great playful sexual vibe and we’re really looking forward to seeing her and her friends in this new release.

If I were to wildly oversimplify things, I could put the kinds of content we cover at altporn.net into two camps: artsy erotica and bonerfying pornography. In reality most of it falls somewhere between the two, with sites like FatalBeauty.com floating over near planet Artsy Erotica, and movies like Joanna’s Angels in a shallow orbit around the celestial sphere of Porn.

Alter Ego, the new film from Carlos Batts, is very, very much in the artsy erotica camp; properly emphasized, the ARTSY erotica camp. AE is a carnival of sensuality and skin and bent gender in slow motion, reminiscent of David Lynch and, less frequently, Andy Warhol.

AE is Carlos Batts’ tribute to April Flores/Fatty D, the voluptuous erotic performer and “super muse” who slides effortlessly between phat azz lowrider chica, living porcelain doll, and deadly stitched-up horror vixen. Batts’ moody, ethereal imagery captures a wide-ranging series of Flores’ erotic experiences, some of them sexy, some of them disturbing. Slow-paced and set to a stew of electro and hip-hop, it’s the kind of thing you watch in a quiet room at 2am when no one’s awake.

The altporn scene is just taking off in the mainstream adult industry, and it’s likely that we’re going to get a lot more punk/goth porn vids on the market. I’m not complaining, because I dig watching punk rawk girls get it on bigtime, but films like Alter Ego are important contrasts to easier-to-swallow porn. We need works like this to remind ourselves of the wide-ranging possibilities of erotic art.

I’m very excited about the release of Alter Ego, a DVD starring April Flores (aka Fatty D) by Carlos Batts.

Stunningly voluptuous muse April Flores’ real life fantasies and adventures have been documented over the past 5 years by acclaimed photographer/director Carlos Batts. Now available for the first time ever on DVD, Alter Ego: A poetic visual erotic tale. You’ll get a glimpse into their real life erotic adventures and kinky photo sessions.

Check out the trailers in Quicktime or Windows Media format, and dig these production pics below:

We’d like to introduce you all to Addie, but she’s all tied up right now. Well known erotic artist Carlos Batts adds his pervy vision to the GothicSluts.com collection with this kinky bondage set. And as you know, we’re all about the spooky evil eyebrows!

Rope is cool and all, but I’m digging on those red heels. Yow.

BlueBlood sez:

We’re happy to introduce French cutie Sandee to Blue Blood’s GothicSluts.com. The Blue Blood crew has known Carlos Batts, the creative photographer responsible for this vibrant photo series, for over a decade now. It seems hard to imagine us all hanging out and sharing portfolios at the comic book convention in New Yorks Javits Center so many years ago. He has an extraordinary eye for beautiful colors and unique striking subjects and Blue Blood couldn’t be more pleased to share his work with a new audience today.
