Roger T. Pipe sends along this review of wicked.com…

SITE BREAKDOWN

Home

Navigating www.Wicked.com is fairly simple thanks to a solid design. There is a toolbar across the top of the page and a good deal of new material right on the main page at all time. Just below the toolbar is a large photo of “Girl of the Week” (Gracie Glam right now) and a list of upcoming additions to the site.

Working down the main page we get “Scenes”, “Movies” and “Girls” in sortable thumbnail format. The twelve most recent are featured, but you can also change it up to view the twelve most viewed or most popular scenes, movies or girls. They are then viewable in pages of fifteen with thumbnails, add date, title or star name, views and rating. All of these also feature direct links to the individual update pages.

The main page is easy to use, but if you prefer the toolbar, it is really well laid out.

Scenes

Shown 15 per page, scenes may be viewed by most recent, most viewed or most liked order. As of today (7/27/11) there are 2,983 scenes onWicked.com. They go back a long way and feature more porn stars than any of us would care to count. Individual scene pages feature a huge screen shots that is also one-click screaming of that entire scene. There is basic information provided including star name, add date and the title of the movie the scene was pulled from. (With an easy link to view to entire movie.) There are links to photo galleries as well and the option to download the scenes. Video streams at 240, 480 or 720p. They download at HD720, DVD or iPod quality. Photos are available in gallery or zip format.

Movies

Full movies are displayed 20 per page with a box cover shot, add date, views and rating displayed. www.Wicked.com features really new Wicked titles. As of today (7/27/11) the most recent titles are “Teacher’s Pet”, “Cougars Take it Black” and “Eternal” which are brand new titles to DVD. No real lag time here. There are currently 518 full movies available to view any time you want. Movie update pages feature a large screen shot that serves as a one-lick streaming option. Movies may be watched as a whole or split into scenes. Video streams at 240, 480 or 720p. They download at HD720, DVD or iPod quality. Photos are available in gallery or zip format.

This is pretty much the Wicked collection all at your fingertips. (Though I noticed that the movie I wrote for them, Guilty Pleasures, is not included.) All of their lines are represented here as well. There are titles from the couples-oriented Wicked Passions line. Comedies like “Boobwatch” and “Rocki Whore Picture Show” are easy to find. Their award winners like “Speed”, “3 Days in June” and “2040? are also available. If you prefer older titles, there are tons of those. The Jenna Jameson and Serenity era are well represented with some classic movies “Lost Angels”, “Conquest”, “Indigo Delta” and “Hell on Heels.” They even go back further than this with some Shyla LaVaeaux and Teri Weigel movies. If you are a fan of Wicked movies, this collection is impossible to beat.

Girls

Every girl features on www.Wicked.com has her own page. This makes it much easier to find material form the women you are looking for. Girls are shown 15 at a time with large pictures, number of scenes and ratings displayed. By default the girls are listed by most active. (jessica drake with 170 scenes) but you can also sort by most liked (also Ms. Drake with Kirsten Price in second place). Exclusive girls get their own sort and you can always sort through by first letter in an alphabetical sort. With over sixteen hundred model pages a text search would be really helpful.

Model pages feature a nice picture and many feature a text bio. Some of them are quite extensive and interesting while others are sketches. Every scene and movie featuring the actress is displayed in an easy to use system. Users can “like” a girl to improve her rating and leave comments on her board as well.

Bonus Videos

In addition to all of the hardcore action on Wicked.com there are loads of special video features to enjoy. BTS reels make a large portion of this material. Take a look behind the scenes at the making of some of Wicked’s biggest features. Red Carpet and Event videos are also featured. You can take a look at the Wicked Girls as they strut their stuff at movie premiers and award shows.

There are also bonus feeds here. They are lower quality video streams covering every niche you can imagine. There are almost fifty thousand scenes available. You can search around here and find plenty of good stuff. It isn’t quite Wicked quality, but it’s free and offers something different.

Zoe Voss by Morbid ThoughtsAnd we’re back!  After taking a long break, we’ve got a few more interviews in the pipeline for you, starting with our 20th (score!) our favorite model-turned-scrumpet, Zoe Voss.

TRANSCRIPT

JEFF FROM IAFD: ¡Hola Amigos! It’s been a long time since we rapped at ya. We’re coming to you here from the IAFD interview headquarters and the Internet Adult Film Database — IAFD.com. Intrepid interviewer Morbid Thoughts found himself sitting at the Grand Lux café with Spiegler Girl, Zoe Voss. Fashion model turned porn star turned America’s Next Top Model tryout turned cat person who lives with dogs.
Morbid Thoughts: Okay Hi, this is Morbid Thoughts with an IAFD interview. I am here with Zoe Voss from…?
Zoe Voss: Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Morbid Thoughts: And we’re actually at the Grand Lux right now enjoying a meal with the rest of the Spiegler Girls. Say hi Zoe!
Zoe Voss: Hi! (laughs)
Morbid Thoughts: I don’t much about Zoe other than she’s really pretty and I think she was a mainstream model before…
Zoe Voss: Correct.
Morbid Thoughts: I actually saw her Model Mayhem before I even knew, well actually, yeah…
Zoe Voss: Oh no way!
Morbid Thoughts: …before she actually joined the porn world, I guess,
Zoe Voss: That’s cool. Yeah, I used to be on there quite frequently and now I’ve kinda just forgotten about it a little bit.
Morbid Thoughts: Yeah, except when did you join the Model Mayhem?
Zoe Voss: Oh God, probably 3 years ago, at least, 3 ½ maybe?
Morbid Thoughts: So you were…
Zoe Voss: It’s like right when it started.
Morbid Thoughts: You were under 18 at the time. Wow.
Zoe Voss: Yes.
Morbid Thoughts: Okay, I feel a little guilty now looking at pictures of under 18 year old girls!
Zoe Voss: (laughs) They were nice, like catalog Old Navy pictures, so…
Morbid Thoughts: Yeah, I just remember, and you haven’t changed that much. You know you look young, you’re beautiful. I guess the only difference is you have longer hair now.
Zoe Voss: yeah, long hair now and I have sex on camera.
Morbid Thoughts: So what made you think about making the transition to the adult industry?
Zoe Voss: Well, I always was really kinda intrigued by the whole industry and I just never knew much about it and then upon meeting Andy San Dimas, who also was living in Minnesota at the time, she kinda gave me a rundown of the industry and it really, you know, made me want to pursue it more. So that’s when I met Spiegler when I moved to California and just went from there!
Morbid Thoughts: How much time did it take you to think about this?
Zoe Voss: I thought about it for a couple of weeks. I definitely wanted to weigh the pros and cons and really make sure it’s what I really wanted to do before I did it and I did! And I am glad I made the decision! Cause it’s fun and it’s not what I expected, but in a positive way.
Morbid Thoughts: I’m assuming you have enough experience to compare, I guess the fashion industry to the adult industry. Are there differences in terms of personality and drama or is it pretty much the same thing?
Zoe Voss: You know, I’m surprised but the fashion industry tends to be a lot more catty and you know, porn world in the year that I have been around I’ve noticed is really laid back and everybody is really supportive of each other. At least from what I’ve seen and the people I’ve been around, so I mean, in that aspect the adult industry is a lot more comforting per se.
Morbid Thoughts: I read somewhere that you were on some reality show, like a couple years ago but I don’t know anything about it.
Zoe Voss: I was almost on America’s Next Top Model but Tyra, as well all know, isn’t very fond of porn stars, so that’s it, but never was on a reality tv show.
Morbid Thoughts: Oh, so you never got to be on the show?
Zoe Voss: I was on the top 40 and then I was eliminated and the next elimination round is where they actually start filming it for tv, so I just barely missed getting on tv.
Morbid Thoughts: Were you disappointed at the time?
Zoe Voss: Of Course, I was pissed (laughs)
Morbid Thoughts: What do you think would have happened if you had managed to be on the show?
Zoe Voss: Well, I think it would have been one of those huge, like, dramatic episodes where they are like ‘oh my gosh! Her secret identity is revealed!” I think it would have brought a lot of attention to the show and you know, I guess they just chose that they didn’t want that kind of attention.
Morbid Thoughts: So, how long were you in the adult industry when you, I guess, auditioned for the show?
Zoe Voss: I think it was about 2 or 3 months.
Morbid Thoughts: Okay, so you were just starting out and they knew about it right away I guess.
Zoe Voss: They do a lot of screening.
Morbid Thoughts: Wow. I mean, I have no idea. I have actually shot one or two girls from that show or at least they tell me they were on that show.
Zoe Voss: I’ve got a good friend of mine back from Minnesota who actually got 2nd place a few cycles back.
Morbid Thoughts: But, I’ve never watched it and I don’t know what goes on, I figure it must be like other reality shows where it must be trashy.
Zoe Voss: Yeah.
Morbid Thoughts: And brings out the worst in people.
Zoe Voss: Exactly. I’m actually quite glad that I didn’t get on the show because, from a lot of girls that I know that have been on the show and have gotten really far either won or, whatever, they’ve actually ruined a lot of their modeling opportunities because of it.
Morbid Thoughts: In terms of the adult industry, what brings out the best in Zoe Voss?
Zoe Voss: Hmm…You know, Random answer: I love it when, you know, directors have really good food on set, like as most people know, I went to culinary school so I love food and seriously, if you have like, I don’t know I could eat anything, but if there’s just a wide variety of food I am a little happy puppy and I’m just, yeah. Food. Food’s the answer! (laughs)
Morbid Thoughts: Yeah, I’ve been to a couple sets and usually it’s cold items like sandwiches or whatever or sometimes they’ll cater from, like a pizza or burger place..
Zoe Voss: Yeah
Morbid Thoughts: I’ve actually been to sets where they actually had a chef on set cooking.
Zoe Voss: Really?
Morbid Thoughts: So, have you had that experience?
Zoe Voss: (laughs) No, not yet! But I am totally down!! (laughs)
Morbid Thoughts: Yeah, I mean I was shocked to see the chef come on set and cook so, completely blows me away! What other stuff besides food brings out the best in Zoe Voss?
Zoe Voss: I like it when people are just really laid back, you know, charismatic and you know, aren’t afraid to be themselves and just let their hair down, you know!?
Morbid Thoughts: Are there any performers that you connect on a very, I guess, primal, or, no I shouldn’t say primal, on a deep level that it shows in your scenes?
Zoe Voss: Well, unfortunately, since I am so new there aren’t a ton of performers that I have had a chance to work with on multiple occasions. I have excellent scenes with James Deen, whose also a very good friend of mine, and also Anthony Rosano and I, we do really well together. He is a great guy, great musician. A girl that I, oh Samantha Ryan is fantastic and also Aiden Ashley — she’s beautiful. She’s a great girl. I don’t know, I get along with (laughs) almost everybody I perform with, great chemistry, but especially those people.
Morbid Thoughts: Well, what do you want for your career? I guess, you’ve only been in the industry for almost, a year?
Zoe Voss: Probably 8 or 9 months.
Morbid Thoughts: 8 or 9 months. What do you see for yourself in the next year?
Zoe Voss: Well, I really just want to keep doing what I’m doing and work for as many companies as possible and really just do my best and hope people see that effort coming from me and appreciate that and respect me for the fact that I’m giving it 110% and you know, I am going to keep doing features, and acting and I really want to pursue my website and also hopefully in the future start writing and possibly directing my own work as well.
Morbid Thoughts: I’ve had a chance to see I think 2 of your scenes and I don’t remember which ones. I remember one was with Mark Wood and the other one was with, I can’t remember the guy…
Zoe Voss: (laughs)
Morbid Thoughts: I mean it was just some guy I didn’t know but it looks like you give 110% so…
Zoe Voss: Thank you.
Morbid Thoughts: So I don’t know what to say beyond that. (laughs)
Zoe Voss: (laughs) Thanks.
Morbid Thoughts: You’re beautiful, I don’t want to be vulgar but you have sex very well…(laughs)
Zoe Voss: (laughs) This is porn, nothing can be vulgar! (laughs)
Morbid Thoughts: Well, I know but usually I’m not vulgar in real life.
Zoe Voss: You’re forgiven.
Morbid Thoughts: Is there anything you want to tell your fans or anything about Zoe Voss they might not know?
Zoe Voss: Let’s see…something people would not know about me. I’m really just, I feel like I am the most domestic laid back chick. Like literally, I could just sit at home and cook and clean and play with the animals and be a happy-go-lucky girl and be completely content with it. I’m really your average girl. Nothing fancy and hope people really respect me for, you know, what I’m doing. Know that I do it for you guys and love all you guys so much and really appreciate your continued support, it means a lot to me.
Morbid Thoughts: You mentioned animals. Cats or dogs?
Zoe Voss: Oooh that’s tough! I have a kitten and a puppy. I’d have to say cats.
Morbid Thoughts: Really? I would have been fine if you said you were a switch hitter or you batted for both sides.
Zoe Voss: But I’m pretty 50/50. It’s like 60/40 with cats in the lead.
Morbid Thoughts: Well, it was great talking to you Zoe!
Zoe Voss: Nice talking to you too, thank you!
Morbid Thoughts: Oh yeah, I should let you pimp whatever Twitter or Myspace or Facebook or whatever.
Zoe Voss: Let’s see I’ll just shout out to my Twitter. Twitter.com/Zoe_Voss and I also have a Facebook. I believe it is Facebook.com/ZoeVossx and of course check out ZoeVossblog.com.
Morbid Thoughts: Thank you Zoe.

Goodnight, Big Tit Queen… Echo Valley Dies in Car Crash

Another sad addition to the Dead Pornstar List at rame.net

Big bust actress Echo Valley died over the weekend as a result of injuries sustained in a car crash in San Antonio, Texas. She was 56.

Fox San Antonio reports that Echo was turning into a bar when her car was rear-ended by a pickup truck.  Finding seatbelts difficult to wear due to her large breasts, Echo was thrown from the car and passed away at the scene.

HOWTO: Advanced IAFD’ing 101

Got a DM on Twitter today that asked a simple enough question:

Hi hi, my boss found a clip on youjizz called “the violation of lori” he wants to know who lori is, help? We can’t find her on iafd :)

Opening up my virtual machine (Tube sites make me nervous.  They should make you nervous too… pick your reason why.) I popped over to YouJizz and searched on “Violation of Lori”.  That turned up nothing, so I widened my search and just searched on “violation” and still came up empty.

I went back to my twitter friend and asked for a URL, and lo and behold, the clip was called “The Domination of Lori.”

I watched a little bit of the beginning of the heavily compressed video and made my first guess: Britney Skye.  Looking down her filmography, we thought it might be the Evil Angel title “Take No Prisoners“, but reviewing the scene pairing (No Jules, no Travis Knight) and the screencaps over at Adult DVD Empire told us otherwise.  (It’s amazing how looks can be altered with heavy compression artifacting and runny mascara…)

So in further looking at the clip, I noticed our blonde performer had a huge tattoo on her left arm.  So, off to the Tattoo Search!

The Tattoo Search is part of our Advanced Search page.  There’s all sorts of not-ready-for-prime-time goodies on that page, almost of all them work as advertised, but some of them are still a little flaky sometimes, as we’re tweaking them as we go…

The Tattoo Search uses the fulltext engine built into SQL Server, so it’s pretty fast.  I typed “left arm” (with the quotes) into the search box and scrolled down looking for a face to match the clip.

Lo and behold, there’s Lorelei Lee!  Her picture has a smidgen of her arm tattoo in it, so we’ve got a match!

Next, we filtered her filmography on DP (since she did one in the clip) and we get a manageable list of  14 titles (compared to the initial 90 we’d otherwise have to sort through…)

 

Since the clip was rough sex, I looked at the titles that might fit the subject matter… I first checked Gag Me Then Fuck Me 3, but she’s paired with Marco Banderas, and he wasn’t in the clip.

So next, I went to Hardcore Training 6 and the cast seemed right (John Strong and Sascha) so then I popped over to Videobox where I could check out the screenshots, and bingo bango we had a winner!
