For those that did or didn't see part One, here's my attempt to tastefully shout out some of the pioneers in that industry, that broke down some of the barriers, and some of the most beautiful women to ever grace the small screen (or at least the Porn Screen Lol). Feedback & Comments Welcome. Unsung as a pioneering force in the game, Sinnamon Love is credited with performing in over 200 films between 1993 & 2011. She is said to have always mandated that her male partner wear a condom-a practice rarely followed in The Porn Industry-and this to be highly admired. The Internet says that she's currently dating Jarobi, from A Tribe Called Quest. #CougarLove This uniquely figured Latina put in work in at least 136 films, and will NEVER be forgotten. The Internet says that Luscious Lopez was working as a Teacher before somehow landing in the Porn Industry circa 2004-2005. Not sure if she's still working today; but she difinitely did her thing! This real life Preacher's daughter dove into the hardcore industry in 2007 at the age of 24. She spent 5 years as an active performer and was credited in 128 different films. Beautiful as can be, she put in an impressive amount of work in a such a short period of time. I wonder what she's doing now? Per the internet, this chick was the daughter of a Rabbi (go figure, I always thought she was Brazilian or something). Between 2005 & 2010, Naomi Russell performed in more than 250 films. and trust me when I say she definitely made her presence known... This voluptuous former biochemistry Student ending up earning a Finance and Marketing degree, from the University of Michigan, before somehow ending up as one of the baddest chicks in Porn History. She is said to have done over 100 films, between 1995 & 2002; somehow her name rarely comes up in the conversation of the best ever. She has my vote though. Starting in The Biz at the age of 18, Lacey Duvalle set fire to the screen from 2000 until 2012. Credited with at least 120 film titles under her belt, she was as beautiful as she was sexy & alluring. This 5"1' specimen of pure beauty has been around since 2003. Not alot is known about this Korean & Thai mixture of Loveliness-except that she also has a sister in the biz (Lily Thai). She is credited as having worked on at least 150 films, and is truly one of the Top Ten most beautiful EVER to grace the screen. her mother is the porn star and adult film director Angela DeAngelo. Not sure if there are any other mother/Daughter teams out there. This lovely & talented Chica started working at 18 years old, and worked well over 200 films, between 2001 & 2010. How do you make a list of the Top Pornstars of all time, with only 21 film credits? One look at Joyce's amazing physique will answer that. Now google her & see what she did with it. Nuff said! This Brazilian Goddess put it Down!!! Not necessarily one of my favorites, Pinky's work still can't be ignored. Her amazing 4"11' frame & body of work cannot be ignored. She is one of the most popular 7 recognizable Porn Stars ever, and was yet another trailblazing Proponent of HIV awareness, taking a test live on camera for the world to see. Pinky, aka Sarah Mirabelli was a Beast!

Jerry Tarkanian was not as beloved as UNC's Dean Smith; but in all reality he helped make the game what it is today. Posting a career record of 729-201, Tark coached an aggressive style of play that had not been seen prior to his reign. More importantly, his system recruited the type of players that most Mainstream American Universities just would not touch. best known for his 1989-1990 & 1990-1991 teams, that dominated The NCAA, Tarkanian's "Running Rebels" won what was perhaps the most decisive NCAA Championship victory ever in 1990-plus introduced Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon & Greg Anthony to The Universe. They were labeled as Thugs & Criminals; but are now listed as among the greatest of all time. Might I add that the 30 Point victory is still the largest margin of victory, in a Championship Game in history. The following year the Rebels were right back in The Final Four, and lost a very suspect game to the same Duke squad that they had beaten by 30 the year before. The program was under investigation, by The NCAA, and ish just didn't look right. Eventualy Tark would cop a $2.5 Million Dollar Settlement from The NCAA, for how they harassed him & his program for decades. Anyway, Tark will always be loved by the Over 30 Crowd for entertaining us with his Ultra Aggressive "Street Ball" Style of coaching. Talking ish, posterizing dunks & hard fouls, they just didn't do these things in that time. He passed away today after experiencing several issues this year. For those that don't know, peep the links below. In America's early days, much was placed into ensuring that the majority of images of Black People portrayed the narrative that we were somehow less intelligent and/or less than human. There's the Happy Slave, the Over the Top Entertainer/Coon, the Docile & Subservient Aide that would sacrifice ANYTHING for the greater good, the Overly-Religious sufferer-waiting for White Jesus to Make a Way, and when necessary-the Savage. Consistently fed to the masses, these images formed the identity of Black People to those that did not interact with Black People enough to know any better. As time passes, and not enough evidence to the contrary breaks through the filters, the lie becomes truth in the eyes of the masses... "If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed." -Adolf Hitler This cycle has been repeating over & over again for centuries now. for every example of Black excellence, soon came to counter-punch. Before the advent of Radio, TV & Movies, so-called scholars lined up in droves to profess that the Negro inherently possessed every deficiency imaginable. As time passed, and any restrictive type of legislation needed to be passed, the "Black Boogeyman" would be sure to get the job done. From the criminalizing of marijuana & Cocaine-to Jim Crow, America's fear of The Angry and/or Sexually Deviant Black Man could always be counted on. Want to justify the many lynchings, judges handing down Life sentences to hard Labor Prison Camps, or the forced sterilization of Black Women-refer to the image painted that it was somehow for our own good. Somehow that person was being prevented from committing some crime later. Sound familiar? Ever notice that the early Black Exploitation era films almost always featured a Strong brother or Sister fighting against Dirty Cops & Crime Lords that CAME IN to EXPLOIT The Black Community; but suddenly it changed to being mostly about Pimps & Petty Hustlers INSIDE The Black Community? Sound Familiar? Hip Hop once had HEROES, that told us to take care of our families & stay away from the street life-now it's just one big orgy of Sex, Drugs, Violence, Materialism, & everything Chuck D told us Not to do. And several generations in, the majority have forgotten or manufactured new definitions for Everything that life is all about. So it's easy for a cop, or private citizen, to gun one of Our's down & claim "I feared for my life!" Any random day of watching television validates that notion in no time at all. Why was it so easy for the public to believe that Mike Brown stuck his hand into a patrol car and almost take away a cop's gun? How was something as simple as the alleged theft of a $4 box of cigars able to turn a soon to be college student into a terror to the community. From Nixon to Reagan to Bush Sr., painting the picture of Urban Lawlessness always precipitated the coming of a War against Black People. And today it's the same. the only difference is that our enemy has so many more tools with which to spread their propaganda. Black People we are at War. Please understand that radical changes are needed IMMEDIATELY. We have drank the poison Kool Aid for far too long. Wake up, stop making excuses, and think about the future. Why do you think they keep segregating the Black & Brown populations into neighborhoods & schools that Those In Power don't care about??? Why do you think stories keep popping up about alleged "No Go Zones" in other countries? Everything is a test. If you can get away with one thing, in one place, then it will surely work in others. Stop listening to & watching to the foolishness they feed us daily-especially with Our Children sitting right there with Us. Just because there are few movies 7 television shows about Black People, doesn't mean we should just be happy that there is one. Look at the underlying messages coming from these shows. Olivia Pope is as strong as it gets for everyone else-but weak and submissive to NOT ONE, BUT TWO CAUCASIAN MEN. What does that say about the value of a Good Black Man. remember there was one; but he wasn't good enough. On most other shows we are insanely insecure and/or irresponsible. What are we teaching our children? Think about how we are portrayed in the media, and start working to counter that. Let's hold Our Politicians, Preachers, Celebrities, and others accountable for their role in this mess. Boycott the radio stations that only "Program" songs about Sex, Drugs & Violence. Small steps can go a long way. add in a few documentaries and other learning opportunities to that lazy weekend afternoon. Just because your parent didn't do it is not an excuse for you to continue the trend. One Day at a Time & One Step at a Time. let's Learn, Grow & Elevate. Together... P.ROPER E.DUCATION A.LWAYS C.ORRECTS E.RRORS SHOWBIZ & A.G. - "RUNAWAY SLAVE"Nowadays many rapper dudes claim to be just speaking on the reality of what's going on their communities; and while there may be some truth to that, the REALITY is that their version is propaganda for someone else's purpose. Hip Hop never shunned the REALITY of The inner City; but back then it still included the CONSEQUENCE of Drug Dealing 7 other Crimes. These days they make it seem like some cool party everyone wants to be invited to. I could easily provide examples from Ice Cube, NWA, Ice-T, Scarface and so many others-but this morning I woke up with this song in my head. Enjoy. "Chapter two, of every black man's diary/Drugs and diseases, put in our society/Kill another brother and it's bravery/Come on that's one step backwards into mental slavery/Yeah you best believe that's reality/You got black on black then there's police brutality/Yeah it's bad but what makes it sad/Is that I'm being harassed by a black man with a badge/He's sellin out because he's two-faced/But you only got one race, you only got a nigga's face/He's sellin out because times is hard/And old ladies are gettin robbed cause I can't find a job/Fight to the top, and the other man'll drop/And gettin treated like savages will stop/You got the right plan, but goin about it the wrong way/Divided is the long way united is the strong way/Too many died for us to take a pause/So let's all get ours, and stop tryin to get yours/Walk a straight path, but it's so easy to stumble/So weak minds crumble in the concrete jungle/Get your chance to sell drugs, you don't pass up/But a fast buck will wind up to be your last buck It's a damn shame, you're deaf dumb and blind/Did it ever cross your mind, you're killin off your own kind/And pretty soon even you will be a goner/Easy access to guns, liquor stores on every corner/Street knowledge is a must, you never learn enough You're physically rough, but mentally you gotta be tough We shall overcome with no doubt/The runaway slave is sayin peace and I'm out" Temporarily sliding the focus away from The Wandering Eyes Blog's mantra of #ArtsMusicCulturePolitics, and instead venturing toward the rarely explored "And More" side of things, we're gonna briefly go at a more taboo topic for a few days. So here it is. While few will openly discuss it, reality says that most men AND WOMEN have found themselves into watching porn at some point in their lives. Be it when they were younger, or after they got older, it happened. And many are still into it to this day. If not, then why is porn one of an extremely small number if industries that still thrive during times of economic crisis. With that said, I never really liked the way Black, Asian & Latino Women were portrayed-nor how they rarely gained the fame & notoriety that their inferior counterparts would get. Even the brothers often play out some weird stereotype. But nevertheless, we keep watching. Everyone has their own reasons; but for me it was more about the beauty of some select rarities. Here's my attempt to tastefully shout out some of the pioneers in that industry, that broke down some of the barriers, and some of the most beautiful women to ever grace the small screen. Feedback & Comments Welcome. 40. JEANNIE PEPPERJeannie Pepper rose above high levels of Racism & Prejudice in the 1980's Porn Industry & helped pave the way for so many others after her. After debuting in a 1984 flick titled "Black Taboo," Jeannie Pepper would go on to star in more than 200 more titles before retiring in 2007. In 1997, she was selected as the first Black woman to be honored by the Adult Video News (AVN) Hall of Fame. 39. EBONIE AYES38. NYOMI MARCELAA pioneer in her own right, The Amazing Ebonie Ayes also endured all sorts of foolishness in route to crossover stardom. She had a body like none other during her hey day of 1986 to 1995, and her impact will never be forgotten. Ebony Ayes is credited with having worked more than more than 110 films-56 in 1988 alone. This beautiful Indonesian Beauty has performed in more 170 flicks since leaving her job at Baskin Robbins in 2001, and has done just about every time of scene one could ever imagine. 37. JASMINE BYRNEThis chica is a lovely blend of Indian, Mexican & Asian descent. Amazingly she has starred in Almost 300 movies since 2004. 36. ISIS TAYLOROf mixed Sottish, Israeli, and Peruvian descent, this 5'8" beauty worked a lot less frequently than her contemporaries, as she married early in her career. Limited to mostly Solo Scenes, she still managed to wow since coming on the scene in 2009. 35. LAVISH STYLESI know, i know, she looks alot like Rihanna. Shortie hasn't put in anywhere near as much work as the others on this list; but trust me when I say that she Definitely made Her Presence Known when she was on camera. 34. KINA KAIOne of the most beautiful Asian Porn stars ever, this Filipina porn star lit uo the screen from 2003 to 2011. 33. CHAMPAGNE PENDAVISThis blazing 36 DD Bronx Beauty lined up Over 150 movie credits between 1993 & 2000. It's a shame that we couldn't find more pictures to showcase just how amazing she was. Her sister Yasmine Pendavis was even more beautiful. Imagine that! 32. HAVANA GINGER31. Jessica BangkokHavana ginger's mix of Cuban, Native American & Black traits always made for a Uniquely Beautiful Look. She recorded over 185 films since her debut in 2005 & that includes a four year hiatus from the business (2008-2012). Like our prior honoree, she also has a sister in the biz (Twin Sister of Savana Ginger). While most start working in the Porn Industry at age 19 or 20, Jessica Bangkok didn't start working until she was 27. The product of a father from the Philippines & a mother from Guam, this stunning piece of work has been credited with making over 185 movies since 2007. She briefly had a show on Sirius & XM Radio; but was fired for allegedly having sex Live on the Air. HONORABLE MENTIONS: |
