A Savage Photographic Journey through the Smoke of Bong Load Girls. Asthe smoke begins to build and the sound of a bong ripples from across the room, through the haze, beautiful women ease into focus - smiling, inviting, ours.
The entire world of pornography is a dream, an unreal fantasy that too seldom matches the beauty and intensity of sex in real life. But there are some who treat sex on film as an art form to be enjoyed, not only onan obviouslyprimal level, but also on a visual and perhaps even an intellectual level. Like the blue smokeemanating from an exhaled toke, they rise to the top, float above us beautiful and dreamy.
Rob Rotten is one of the few people in the adult industry who can rightfully call himself an artist. This book not only offers a glimpse into perhaps his greatest work, Bong Load Girls, it also gives us a taste of the madness that happens behind the scenes: Rejections from offended producers/distributors, handwritten scripts, the note to self to never hire one of the actresses againand sketches of the dildo pipe made famous in the movie. It shows the project as both difficult and enjoyable and, most of all, a true passion by the man who put it together.
The porn industry's reputation as a dark and brutal corner of our society is not completely unearned, but it's people like Rotten who break through with magic moments that allowsus to enjoy and celebrate sex the wayit should be. Buy the book, buy the movie, smoke 'em if you got 'em. Even after the smoke has cleared and the girls have gone home, you'll remember that gentle buzz and know that everything is all right.
"The sexiest psychedelic rompthrough the stoner counterculture movement ever created, Bong Load Girlsis a trippy masterpiece. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!" – XBIZMagazineThis book has everything youcould ever want for someone who appreciates the female figure... And whoalso happens to smoke a lot of herb! – Skunk MagazineWe wouldn't recommend sex, drugsor insanity for everyone, but they've always worked for Rob Rotten! – AVNMagazine

No Smoking Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First off, I am not a smoker. I have smoked cigarettes before, and enjoy the occasional cigar, but don't consider myself a smoker. However I was intrigued when I saw this book in Barnes and Noble this afternoon (I thought the box was very clever) and ended up sitting down and reading pretty much the entire book.
You don't have to be a smoker to appreciate the effort put into this collection of art, including old advertisements, photos, paintings, and quotes from an array of influential people from the past two centuries. This is not a glorification of smoking; neither is it an indictment. Rather, it asks the reader to forget for awhile their beliefs about smoking and realize what a large part smoking played in American culture as well as European culture.
Yes, smoking can kill you. But to immeadiatly dismiss this book as a nostalgic collection for the fiendish smoker is juvenile, and frankly, disrespectful; like it or not, tobacco has played an enormous part in this country's history. This book does a very good job of taking the reader beyond their beliefs to see a whole world of art, life, and culture that revolved around smoking.

Can you imagine Groucho Marx without a cigar? Do you remember that a few years ago smoking was allowed in airplanes? Can you tell when New York stopped smoking?In the not so distant past, posing seductively with a cigarette was de rigueur for Hollywood types. How many celebrities today dare to even hold one? No Smoking is a tribute to the 20th century, a century that created, promoted and glorified the cigarette and then suddenly declared war on it.

SuicideGirls Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have to first start out by admonishing the politicking by both sides in the reviews of this book. It's unprofessional, very misleading and ultimately doesn't have any place here. And I'm a member of the site in question which is why I'm equally disappointed by the fellow SG-ers who've taken it upon themselves to throw off the grading curve by unobjectively praising the book when the request that was made by the site was simply to review it, not wax poetic about it.
Anyway, that said I liked the book. But I'd be lying if I said I loved it. The photography was all well and good. Good lighting, etc. But as one reviewer stated before me it was just pictures of naked girls. There was no real visual panache to it. In a way it seemed like somewhat of a self-congratulatory piece. Especially since all the photography was taken by Missy who's actually done some spectacular work that wasn't included here. Not to mention that the site boasts the visual talents of Lithium Picnic. As such this book left a little to be desired. And it may just be a gripe exclusive to me but what is with the postcard size, one image to a page format?
I did however really like the interviews and journal excerpts in the last section of the book. I might have interspersed them throughout the book scrapbook-style, but that's just me.
All told it was a laudable first effort. Improvements could be made, sure. But I think it sets a good precedent that I hope they expand on with additional works in the future.
