And Now, a Word from Our Readers.

Just yesterday, our lovely Twitter friend Chris Madsen (@chris_madsen) posted a few thoughts on us and our blog/videos/photos over on his sweet-ass Tumblr, Story-Lab.


The entry, entitled "Nouveau-Porn Violet+Rye," is just about the nicest collection of words strung together about us that we've ever seen. And while we most certainly have our fans out there, this is definitely a level of flattery we never imagined would come from starting our little blog just over a year ago.

Here's a sample:

"A couple of months ago I went on a twitter triad about “why pornography was so low brow?!”. With what we now have on Vimeo - in terms of cinematography, artistic expression and just overall HD quality - I could not get my head around why most porn these days still looks cheap, cheesy and dumbed down. Well along popped Uncommon Appetites Violet+Rye into my twitter stream, a married couple in their twenties living in NYC, exploring and exposing their sex lives for the world on their blog, tumblr and twitter. Violet and Rye are not pro-pornographers, in the sense they don’t do this as professionals, they make what we call amateur porn - although I would say that what Violet+Rye produces are far away from the grainy, shaken, dark bedroom rump videos we’re use to seeing in the amateur porn category on tube sites."

A little more? Why not?

"I once tried to figure out what the difference was between an erotic photographer/filmmaker and a pornographer(?). What I came up with was, that the erotic artist does not produce something that doesn’t turn them on, while the pornographer will produce anything, as long as there is a profit to be made (of course within the boundaries of what’s legal). When watching porn made by a pornographer, you can often get the feeling that the performers aren’t turned on by the action happening, that not even the producers are turned on – you do not get that vibe from Uncommon Appetites – it’s porn that makes you feel good."

How about that??? Go ahead, read more. We know you want to.
