Off The Chain: San Francisco Porn vs. Phoenix Porn

One of the things I enjoy most about reading the other music, arts and culture blogs in the Village Voice chain is seeing how they reflect their respective scenes.

One of the things I enjoy most about reading the other music, arts and culture blogs in the Village Voice chain is seeing how they reflect their respective scenes. Take, for example, today's porn-related posts here in Phoenix and at our sister paper in San Francisco.

Last night, Niki D'Andrea covered a NBA All-Star Game-related porn star ball featuring the exact sort of girls you'd expect to find at a porn star ball, including the Valley's own Taryn Thomas. In Phoenix, it's fair to say we're traditionalists, porn-wise. In San Francisco, today's headline is "The Best Dyke Porn Producer in San Francisco: At Pink & White Productions" and is about a local filmmaker who's filling the void for "decent, female-oriented films featuring non-cookie-cutter bodies." They're both great reads.
