I like boobs. There, that was going to be my column. Three words. A personal mantra, if you will. A declaration! I like boobs, yet, I am obligated by inexorable editorial protocols to elaborate on my thesis statement, which ultimately leads me to JJ1.com, a hothouse of boobs and the models who jiggle them. Here is a place of worship for those who pray at the altar of cleavage.
Here is the Taj Mahal of tits, a mecca of mammaries, a Kremlin of knockers—stop me any time now.
JJ1.com offers a cavalcade of boobs – large and almost large, perky and jiggly – that bounce, shake, wiggle, flash, and gyrate, as the women they’re attached to perform naked jumping jacks for the pleasure of discriminating Web surfers. The breasts belong to a who’s who of adult models and starlets (affectionately known as “Jumpers”) such as Sydney Moon, Jana Cova, Aria Giovanni, Aimee Sweet, Kira Eggers, Jelena Jensen, and Jesse Capelli. Even California gubernatorial hopeful Mary Carey joined in with the calisthenics-meets-bouncy-boobs fun.
Currently there are roughly 100 models to observe, an impressive roster for sure. Each jumper has two personal galleries, one scantily clad and one all nude, where members can view photographs or video loops of the women in a variety of poses.
JJ1.com is the brainchild of Andrew Garver, a 30-something former mastering engineer for A&M Records. Garver grew tired of corporate life and decided to engineer a site for the Internet, with the amusingly simple but successful concept of “hot, naked girls jumping up and down.”
And here is where we learn that the “JJ” in JJ1.com stands for jumping jacks, a physical act that goes with boobs like peanut butter goes with jelly.
“It really started out as joke,” Garver says. In fact, Garver’s notion was spawned after viewing Baywatch with friends. “Why would anyone spend an hour watching this show if all they want to see are chicks running up and down the beach? They should have a [TV] station that’s just women doing that or, better yet, doing jumping jacks.”
The Jiggle Network idea never took flight; Garver instead turned to the Internet for his programming schedule of around-the-clock jumping jacks.In business for almost five years, Garver has built a one-man operation where he produces the site from his Los Angeles home. “I shoot the video, edit it, and do all the programming,” he said. “The content is all original, and it’s getting better all the time. And if I don’t go broke paying the models, I’ll keep adding new stuff.”
“I want the girls to have a lot fun,” Garver says about his ideal atmosphere during photo shoots. “I don’t want them being all serious or [looking] like they’re thinking about investment banking.”
Garver’s work gives the most mundane body movements a touch of sexuality and excitement. The unassuming, yet utterly sexual, motion of Sydney Moon removing her tiny skirt and tank top transforms into a constant, rhythmic act played repeatedly.
The site’s stills are top-notch and the resolution of the moving images is crisp, which Garver attributes to keeping the files small. “I’d seen a lot of video on the Web, and I still think it kinda sucks,” he said. “If you want to see a chick bouncing around, you don’t need to download a whole five-minute video.”
A 1999 Grammy nominee for his engineering work on the Rhino Records box set Have a Nice Decade, Garver has been helped by a variety of radio promotions from stations like KROQ in Los Angeles and BBC Radio London. Besides the grass-roots campaign to attract interest, Garver said he relies on good old-fashioned curiosity. “I mean, if you say you’re running a site with nude women doing jumping jacks for as long as anyone wants to watch them, most people want to see what’s going on.”
JJ1.com is what makes the Internet such a joy. That such a site exists is proof that anything is possible. Gorgeous babes jumping up and down naked seems so childish—which it is—but that is precisely why the website succeeds. It’s so simple, yet it’s utterly fucking brilliant all at once.
And, besides, sometimes a little immature fun is just what the doctor ordered, and where the adult Internet industry is concerned, they’ve every cure, baby—no matter what you have or what you need.
