    Goddesses Forever Beautiful & Desirable

    Jenna Jameson, Briana Banks, Nina Hartley, Tera Patrick. The list of all these legendary & dreamy sexual goddesses goes on & on. Now finally a book on which to admire these ravishing women in their natural beauty. By natural, not just their 'birthday suits'. As much as I love seeing these girls entertain, alot of times I just want to gaze at them being themselves like supermodels on the cover of some big fashion magazine in a artistic form, like a stunning work of art. I love reading about their personal thoughts & getting to know them outside of their profession, disproving critics who wrongly claim that these people are incapable of feelings & are unintelligent . The only real con is that the book also has portraits of male stars which is a big turn-off. I'd have given this book a perfect five if not for the men's portraits. Still, this is worth every penny. I love you, Jenna & Briana. You two are just as gorgeous as Elle & Tyra.

    Contra-conception

    Purely from a conceptual point of view this book gets 4 stars. Such a fantastic idea (great use of XXX/30 in the title) and a real human look into people you completed de-humanize most of the time. I found myself feeling guilty for approaching them in an objective way. I think a lot of pornstars try to find deeper meaning in what they do, when in reality what they do is extremely disposable. We cannot approach these people in a 'normal' way, because you don't normally get to see someone's body in full orgasm, 30 cm away with a digicam - but we can appreciate the deeper and emotional side to these kindrid spirits, and get a new reflective look into such a taboo subject.

    juxtaposition... pun intended?

    How to describe this one: Lowbrow meets Lowerbrow? No, that's not it. This book definitely falls into the 'different' category. When I first started looking through it I found myself rushing through it. Flipping page after page quickly to see who was next. Then I started to slow down. I started to compare the clothed to the unclothed. By the time I went through the book a third time I was just looking at the clothed pornstar. That was the most interesting thing. Clothed Pornstar. When you think of pornstar you think 'naked and screwing.' This book is certainly NOT for kids, but for someone who enjoys the beauty of the human body in all its forms and for those that find insightful, if not a bit rueful, commentary a plus definitely check this book out.
