Speaking of covergirls, Joanna Angel appears on the cover of the new issue of Prick magazine and there is a nice little interview with her and Kylee Kross about the Bartenders video and Alt porn in general. The interview with each of them is a good read and I like what they had to say. I especially liked that when Sean Dettman asked Joanna if it was a good time to be a female pornographer, she pointed out that in the current shitty economy it wasn’t really a good time to be a male or female pornographer. Kylee talked a little bit about her Fixie fetish and her history with Burning Angel
One thing that stuck out to me, and I feel this is fair for APN to point out due to the amount of respect tattoo artists demand for their culture and line of work, is the intro Sean wrote. “The beginning of Alt porn on the Internet…can’t really be specified. Some credit sites like Gothicsluts and Supercult as inventing the genre, more or less, while others don’t consider the alternative porno boom to have really begun until SuicideGirls” Actually, it can be specified. I wouldn’t walk into a tattoo shop and claim that the history of tattoos can’t be specified, but I’m pretty sure Kat Von D really invented it because she’s got a popular show on the television.
Supercult and SuicideGirls actually both started at the same time, September of 2001. Blue Blood, which has been publishing naked tattooed purple haired alternative people having sex since 1992, launched their Gothicsluts and BarelyEvil sites on the internet in 1999 to handle the overflow from their magazine, which was also the same time EroticBPM launched as their original name RaverPorn. I only point this out because of all the lectures I’ve had to sit through from proud tattooists correcting someone whenever they might not know some obscure detail about the tattoo world. I’ll step off my soap box now.
The interview is otherwise good and the pictures of Joanna and Kylee from the set of Bartenders are really hot and Prickmag.com has their whole issue available for free online in a nicely navigable electronic format, so go check it out.
The beginning of Alt porn on the Internet, the act that ultimately led to the creation of Burning Angel in 2002, can’t really be specified. Some credit sites like Gothicsluts and Supercult as inventing the genre, more or less, while others don’t consider the alternative porno boom to have really begun until SuicideGirls hit in 2001.
Joanna, the star of Burning Angel, has written, directed, produced and acted in films like Porny Monster, LA Pink and The Joanna Angel Magical Threesome Adventure Experience. We spoke with Joanna about Bartenders, the studio’s latest film, and how she’s helping alter the perceptions of porno in popular culture.
