Etc.<\/p>\n<p>Her blog is brilliant, and addictive; nothing more than a simple selection of <!--more-->recent photos from her life (mostly with or by her boyfriend, photographer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.davenaz.com\/bio.html\">Dave Nazz<\/a>), curated into a tiny, themed collection, each with a caption. It&#8217;s the captions that do it; sometimes a single word or simple description of what we&#8217;re seeing, but more often a terse bit of poetry or recollection or revelation or philosophical reflection. I love it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"float: right;\" title=\"orianasmall\" src=\"https:\/\/victorbornia.com\/word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/orianasmall.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"118\" height=\"89\" \/>Oriana is, like all of us, a work in progress, and just so happens to delight in sharing the particulars with us. Not in a tediously &#8220;confessional&#8221; style, but with a naked (of course) peek at what occurred to her at that moment, with these particular images. It is the kind of reality TV I can get behind; the central character is compelling and authentic, leads a recognizably normal life (with just enough jarring contrasts), and is essentially someone you can root for. I await each installment with baited breath, and pray she does not lose interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my regular webstops is the blog of one &#8220;Ashley Blue&#8221; (real name Oriana Small), porn actress, artist, and barer of mind, body and soul.
