For the first time on the internet, Wasteland is pleased to present the four hour, fifty-minute epic BDSM and Fetish film classic, “The Fashionistas” as a 9-part dramatic series. Updated monthly with a new episode, it’s like “The Sopranos” with sex! ”This is a very high budget adult film with extensive story/action sequences, exquisite wardrobe, and cutting edge, full length, very hard sex scenes. There are also several full on S&M scenes with very real action. These elements fit together in a dramatic mystery love story that takes our lead character Antonio (ROCCO SIFFREDI), an Italian fashion designer, on a wild sexual ride into the underground S&M scene. His guide is Helena (portrayed by real life dominant, TAYLOR ST. CLAIRE). His phantom obsession is Jesse (BELLADONNA, a woman with the most incredible sexual abilities I’ve ever seen). Shot on 35mm film, with the lighting and production elements of a mainstream motion picture, this is by far my most ambitious project. It is a highly charged erotic experience, not intended for the novice porno viewer.” ~ John Stagliano, Director/ProducerAbout
“The Fashionistas”….WINNER of 10 AVN Awards:
• Best Film
• Best Director
• Best Actor and Actress
• Best Editing
• Best Cinematography
• Best Music Soundtrack

…a disturbing marathon of anal-sex and S&M… ~ ABC News Primetime, Diane Sawyer
Watch the trailer, it will blow your mind!
John Stagliano’s ambitious, scalding, kink-drenched, epic-like The Fashionistas arguably is the best adult film of the year. Clearly the pinnacle of Stagliano’s illustrious career. The Fashionistas is the finest hardcore-meets-BDSM story-oriented porn production ever. ~ AVN, Mike Ramone

There’s a new dating site on the scene and it’s just for us! KinkCulture.com, has some great features and takes dating and relating to a higher level of interactivity. Along with it’s new mobile version, KinkCulture.com includes unlimited user media uploads, hosted blogs, event calendars, forums, and more for fetish folks on the prowl for new relationships and community building.
“We started KinkCulture with a Dutch BDSM Master and friend of Wasteland for many years,” said Wasteland’s founder, and 2011 AVN Hall of Fame inductee, Colin Rowntree. “Because of this, it has a very interesting international mix of members from both North America and Europe. We felt there was a lack of full featured, mainstream style dating/community sites out there for the kink and alt sex community, and with the new ways in which social networkers and dating surfers use the web, we decided to bring together all of these now ‘standard’ mainstream features into a great mix of BDSM community site combined with a kinky dating site.”
KinkCulture plans to roll out additional features soon, including total facebook integration, and 2-way live video chat for use between members. So what do we think? Totally AWESOME! You got to check it out.
