Tis the season for giving, is it not? (Actually, we believe that every season is the season for giving, but that’s just us.) Accordingly so, Gamelink is offering fatty deals this month so you can shower your loved ones with all of the porn, massage oils, and bondage starter kits they’ve ever wanted. Mistletoe has officially been dethroned as the holiday matchmaker.

Poor Asia Carrera to have been born on a day that has been, since 1945, a little iffy for Asians. Still, we know that the desert-dwelling porn sweetheart can overcome anything. Asia Carrera was a porn mainstay throughout most of the 90s and early oughts. She was (and is) elegant

Since porn stars name themselves at “birth,” today’s performers often have the “Deadwood”-y, Sci-Fi Channel names hip parents are giving their tots. Tanner Mayes turns 20 today just as somewhere in Iowa an unsuspecting neonate is named for the star of “She Is Half My Age 9.” This occurred to

Porn fans love Belladonna so much for many reasons: the way she throws down, her evil pixie/erotic vulture persona, how she has weathered intense scrutiny from within and without the porn industry and come out the other side with her mind and body intact. And wisdom is sexy. The former

Lux Kassidy turns 24 today. The former Vivid girl and Penthouse Pet, a girls-only stalwart for most of her time in porn, recently learned that, like her age, there’s so much more. Kassidy, who took her first name from Kirtsen Dunst’s character in “The Virgin Suicides” and her last from

Sandee Westgate, whose (it’s hard to believe) 30th birthday is today, probably stays so young because she never has sex with men on camera. Can it be that simple? Westgate has but a handful of adult titles, and about a handful of boobs. Mostly she exists in Playboy and on

Seka. Today’s birthday girl has a name that brings back a whole era all by itself – just saying it gives you, if you are of the right age, a whole world of pictures. Seka turns 55 today, which seems awfully young for someone who has been such a legend

This is what porn does to perception: Kristina Rose is 5’1″ and weighs 110 lbs., but she still keeps showing up in movies about giant asses. 34A-27-36 and 5’1″ might be good enough for Sir Mixalot, but we live in a modern world. How can you have an Ass for

What do you say about Jenna Jameson that hasn’t been said already, and probably more eloquently? Sure, happy birthday – it’s her 35th – but how about this: goodbye, Jenna, and Thanks. You always want to see more of a good thing, and Jenna is a very good thing indeed

Usually when you see someone as cute as Judy Star, you know exactly when and where it was, but I am having trouble remembering when I first saw her in a movie. That might be because she looks pretty much exactly the same as she used to, barring the occasional

Sharka Blue, today’s birthday girl, is a member of one of my favorite classes of porn stars: those whose porn names sound like they might also have been considering “supervillain” as a career choice. Just looking at Sharka, I could never imagine her in a fight with GI Joe, by

It is unfair of me, for many reasons, to think of 21-year-old birthday girl Claudia Downs as the Missy Monroe of the new millennium, but sometimes when I look at her I can’t help it. Unfair and also inaccurate, partly because Missy Monroe didn’t even get into porn until 2003,

Pride of Saugus Tyler Faith was born on this day in 1975, the year of Fisk, Yastrzemski, and the return of Tony Conigliaro. While never known for her squirting, she will always be wicked pissa. Though she probably wouldn’t date Prince (not a hockey player), he captures Faith to a

It’s not often you find a starlet with such a severe case of nomenclatural schizophrenia as today’s birthday girl, Miss Bunny – also known as Venus Inferno and Juliette Alexander. Miss Bunny turns 30 today. Miss Bunny is light and fluffy, a hoppy, happy pleaser with – duh – bunny

When I picture today’s birthday girl, Vanessa Del Rio, I always get this cartoony Ralph Bakshi image, like an overblown caricature of a sensual Latina seductress. And then I go look at actual pictures of Vanessa, and I realize that porn’s first Latina superstar really is a caricature – a

Birthday Girl Annette Schwarz, who seems to update her own website, posts this as of March 2, 2009 on her blog: “I am available for purchase.” Oh, frabjous day! Apparently the rules about these things in Germany are different than they are here, but I think the German rules are

Birthday girl Laura Lion, who turns 26 today, does not have the most porn names of any adult performer I have ever seen, but she is not too far out of the lead. Laura, who was born in Litomerice in the Czech Republic, is also known as Lenka Lyons, Yvette

I looked and looked for some clever way to connect birthday girl Adrianna Nicole to interesting things – holidays, historical events – and got nowhere. I just kept seeing her naked and would totally space out. She shares her birthday with two Byzantine emperors, a king and queen of Naples,

Faith Leon stands 5’11″ tall—that is just barely under three inches for each of her 24 years (she turns 24 today, in case you hadn’t guessed that she was today’s birthday girl.) Her husband Marcos is 5’9″ tall, so she doesn’t exactly tower over him—unless you’re imagining her in a

Holly West looks so sweet and innocent, doesn’t she? You’d never guess she was turning 29 today – she could still be one of those “teens” you hear about so often. And yet there she is – taunting, beckoning, fresh-faced…it’s like she’s fresh out of – well, wherever hot teenagers
