Génesis Rodríguez is red-hot for Max Magazine Italy [July 2012]

Genesis Rodriguez gets the cover story in the newest Max Italy magazine. People in the States may not know who she is. She’s actually an American actress, but if you don’t watch Telemundo, you’d never know. She’s been on some of the stations hit novelas such as Prisionera, Dame Chocolate and Doña Bárbara. If you have time to watch soap operas in the morning, you’d also know that she plays Becky Ferre on Days of Our Lives. The busy girl takes time out to have some summer fun in her photo shoot.
On the origin of her name
“No, escúchame … Genesis as a source. As the beginning of life, the world. My father had just separated from his first wife when he met my mother Catalina, sangre de Cuba. After a few months I came along, surprise: they thought I was a lucky omen for a lifetime. “
On growing up
“between Venezuela and Miami. I was doing six months here and six months there. At school it was strange when I came to the States I knew it all: Caracas schools are fantastic. I stepped back and forth up to 14 years.“
On her teenage life
“I attended a convent school, of course-girl. And until that point I was a saint. Then came the hormones and I began to rebel against my parents.I was bitchy, irritable, aggressive. I could not help it, is the worst period in the life of any teenager. Then at 16 I started working as an actress in a soap opera and all of a sudden I understood what it meant to appreciate life. “
On being a woman
“Yes, a woman in every sense. I piaccioni men and only men. Although compliance with all forms of love, even between same-sex love for me is wanting to be together, laugh, be friends. The sex however is passion, connection, the fact that you can not break away your hands off me.What is sex I prefer: a strong, wild, spontaneous. “
On what it means to be sexy
“I’m Latin and I think that Latin girls tend to have a more sensual because they often grow from mom and repressed religion. We say that showing tits and ass in a sexual way is a way to gain our independence, makes us more emancipated. I have no problem with my body. If I go to the beach I like to wear the bare minimum. Topless, I love topless . But here in California it is illegal to show her breasts, so I only do it where I found, not in Malibu. I like to enjoy life, be healthy, go to the gym but also drink and eat. “

Fifty Shades of Grey Author Said It Would be 'Weird' to Cast Rob and KristenRobert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
Sorry Twilight fans. Your favorite vampire and innocent Bella, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, and will not be "Fifty Shades of Grey" characters Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.
According to Red Carpet News TV, Fifty Shades author E.L. James confirmed that the two lovebirds will not be playing the crucial roles for the upcoming movie, even though the whole trilogy is Twilight fan fiction.

"I think it would be too strange! It would just be .. Uggh weird!" the British author said about the couple playing the starring roles.
But James has a short casting list that she has in mind. She has a list of four men for Christian and about three for Anastasia.
"I'm not telling anyone what they are because I'm not allowed to discuss the movie at all which is a real shame," James told Red Carpet News TV. "Things are moving quite slowly on that but hopefully... it's such fun and so hopefully after we've put a few things in place it will all start to move on. We've still got to get the producers in place then deal with the script and all that. The actual film is a long way down the line."
According to IBTimes, fans of  Robert Pattinson have created the Facebook page "Robert Pattinson As Christian Grey In The 'Fifty Shades of Grey' Movie." Both actors are often included in the countless "Fifty Shades" casting polls that have hit the Web.
Despite her feelings, James said that Stewart and Pattinson playing characters Bella and Edward inspired her to write the highly erotic novel and the two sequels, "Fifty Shades Darker" and "Fifty Shades Freed."
"The characters grew; they started that way and developed into completely their own people. It was fascinating getting to know them and know them very well," she told Red Carpet News TV. "I didn't see an outline straight away; I had no idea where these books were going to go. I just went with them. As I go to know them they grew a life of their own."
In previous reports, it was said that 2011 sexiest man on the planet Ryan Gosling is being tipped to play the S-and-M billionaire who persuades and dominates innocent student Anastasia Steel, according to Entertainment Wise.
"The role of the sadomasochistic billionaire seems to be man-of-the-moment Ryan Gosling's to turn down. But the 'Drive' star may take some persuading," The Sun newspaper claimed.
"Vampires Diaries" star Ian Somerhalder has been the front runner and has shown interest in the part.
According to IBTimes "Fresh List of Stars Nominated," Kaya Scodelario, who stars on the British television drama "Skins," could be the one to play the key role of Anastasia. Emma Watson, "Pretty Little Liars" star Lucy Hale and Game of Thrones beauty Emilia Clarke have all been said to be possible for the position.

Mouthfuls of American goo: the brutal truth about Fifty Shades
Fifty Shades of Grey by E L James
We gave Fifty Shades to a writer working on a PhD about sadomasochism and romantic love. The result? Ouch
"THIS is wrong, but holy hell is it erotic," exclaims the inner voice of Anastasia Steele, heroine of the phenomenally successfully Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, which is currently raking in more than $1 million a week for its author, British TV executive, wife, and mother of two, E L James.
Bizarrely, the novel is set in North America, replete with references to sneakers and soda; at one point, Anastasia describes her sadomasochistic affair with the devastatingly sexy and wealthy Christian Grey as "about as emotionally enriching as cotton candy is nutritious".
Grey is referred to as Bluebeard, a Greek God, Adonis, Michelangelo's David, a dark knight, a white knight, Sir Gawain, Lancelot... He is every romantic hero at once; he is mythic. And, as the novelist Angela Carter wrote in her brilliant 1979 book, The Sadeian Woman, "Myth deals in false universals, to dull the pain of particular circumstances."
So what are the particular circumstances that have propelled Fifty Shades to the top of bestseller lists around the world? James is writing in the so-called post-feminist era, which either means that feminism is finished because equality has been won or that we don't want to be equal after all.

Her heroine is conflicted; far from conforming to the traditional Mills and Boon blueprint of swooning and absolute subordination, Anastasia is the errant daughter of chick-lit. She is torn between wanting to consent to Christian's contract and to remain free.
Like a skewed rendition of HBO's hit series Girls, Anastasia has recently graduated from college. She stems the existential crisis brought on by sudden de-institutionalisation by putting the "real world" on hold in favour of Christian's Red Room of Pain. Like Bridget Jones, she possesses a neurotic, self-flagellating inner voice that won't shut up. Such neurosis is supposed to make her endearing; in truth, it casts her in the clichéd light of the post-feminist woman who must compete in a man's world but can't stop falling over because she is so clumsy – shorthand for girly.
Indeed, Anastasia literally falls into Christian's slick Seattle office when she first goes to interview him for the college paper. Falling is what she does a lot – eventually she falls madly in love with Christian. Prior to that she falls repeatedly into an ecstatic state of orgasm. The latter is so profound that Anastasia experiences a total loss of self, splintering into a million pieces, "coming apart at the seams, like a spin cycle on a washing machine, wow".

This "coming apart" is, according to convention, what women do best. While Christian is all boundaries, rules, and codes, Anastasia is all melting, merging, and pleading. These are traditional gendered roles, fetishised by James as a route to a new kind of sexual freedom.
But what about the kind of sexual freedom that is based on tenderness, respect, and reciprocity? Although Anastasia claims she wants Christian to return her feelings in a "normal" way, the message of the book seems to be that such mutuality is impossible because women want to make love and men want, in Christian's own words, to f*** hard.
Christian is endowed not merely with a helipad and a fondness for Tudor choral music, but the power to relieve our heroine from the burden of her own emancipation and succumb instead to his control, which is not only sexual, but total. He wants to dictate Anastasia's wardrobe, exercise, sleep, social life, and diet.
Food too emerges as a fetish in the book. He constantly tries to stuff her with so many pancakes and maple syrup that she threatens to explode, if not from sexual pleasure, then from too many mouthfuls of American goo. This is a very post-feminist fantasy: here is a man who is begging you to eat. Christian fills the void that is Anastasia in myriad ways. But he too is a void, we discover, incapable of emotion. His love of violence is disturbing. As Anastasia describes: "…he hits me again and again. From somewhere deep inside, I want to beg him to stop. But I don't."
Although the writing is often ridiculous, the phenomenon of Fifty Shades has serious implications: it illuminates the brutality at the core of common-place gender stereotypes and the regressive bent of our culture. The "love story" that pins the S-and-M sessions together is merely a ruse, a means to sweeten the fact that Christian can only really come if he has bound, gagged, and beaten his women – with their consent.
While Anastasia is flattered that Christian could desire such an ordinary girl as herself, she opens the imaginative possibility for the female reader to likewise chance upon a billionaire who will extract her from ordinary life and take her hang-gliding at dawn in Georgia. If women want to buy into the myth of the book, then, to borrow Carter's phrase, they are simply "flattering themselves into submission". And what a dangerous kind of submission it is.
Zoe Pilger is an art critic for The Independent and is writing a PhD on sadomasochism and romantic love at Goldsmiths, University of London.



Hypocrisy of mummy porn
woman with novel
THERE'S such giggly delight in the public display of women's huge appetite for this latest girly porn, writes Bettina Arndt.

THE well-coiffed matron sits comfortably in the suburban coffee shop, avidly peering at her well-thumbed copy of Fifty Shades of Grey. She's totally relaxed about being seen devouring this new erotic best-seller, leaving it openly displayed as she orders a second cup.
Everywhere women are talking about this raunchy chick-lit which has become the fastest selling novel on record. Elderly women sitting in a doctor's waiting room laughingly confess to blushing their way through it. Mums in tuckshops chuckle over the best bits.
There have been many positive reviews blithely dismissing the dreadful prose and claiming how liberating, how empowering this is for women. This latest "mummy porn" is just the thing for revitalising a marriage, the experts claim.
There's such giggly delight in the public display of women's huge appetite for this latest girly porn.
Yet when men are caught looking at their favoured sexual material - pictures rather than words - that's somehow very different. Men who use porn are disgusting, perverted, their filthy smut a danger to marriage and sure sign of an addled male brain.
The erotica that most men enjoy is visual, catering to men's favoured images of joyously naked, willing women catering to men's every whim. Fantasy? Oh yes indeed, and as all men know, a far sight removed from the reality of most real-life marital sex.
It's all about sexual escape, enjoying the imagined delight of a world free of grovelling for sex and devoid of exacting, prolonged foreplay requirements.
But surely no more unrealistic than the fantasy world of Fifty Shades, where a gorgeous but twisted billionaire sadist seduces a virgin college student, inviting her to frolic with him in his whip and chain filled Red Room of Pain. Just what every girl really wants, eh? Let's not confuse the bedroom and boardroom, responds anthropologist and Rutgers professor Helen Fisher, dismissing any suggestion that Fifty Shades  represents women's true desires: "This is the world of fantasy and play."
So how is it that men are infantilised by assuming they can't distinguish their sexual fantasies from what happens in real-life relationships? It's interesting how readily many female commentators switch from their normal stance that men and women are equal to suggesting that women are essentially superior.
If men and women were the same, surely we would have the same capacity to be rational, moral beings, mature enough to handle our fantasy lives without distorting real-life goals and expectations.
But no, when it comes to sexual fantasy any notion of equality goes out the window, with men seen as incapable of making this type of differentiation while women remain uncorrupted by their own salacious, grossly unreal imaginary sexual world.
While women are allowed, indeed are encouraged, to blatantly enjoy their porn in the most public of settings, most men have no choice but to view their erotic material in secret, knowing full well the reaction from many of their partners if they are caught. The women's magazines regularly run articles discussing in solemn tones women's feelings of betrayal when they discover their partners using porn.
There's rarely any attempt to suggest men's fantasies pose no threat to the relationship nor affect feelings for his partner in normal lovemaking.
Of course, men are the beneficiaries of women's newly discovered appetite for mummy porn, with widespread reports of Fifty Shades awakening long-dormant female sexual appetites. So they are not complaining. But surely many are wondering why there are such different rules for the girls.

Frances Goodman’s ‘Touched’ Dazzles the Nether Regions
 
 
 
 
 
During her brief stay in New York, South African artist Frances Goodman put an ad in the Village Voice for female models, then adorned their pubic areas with rhinestones spelling out the phrase “I Do.” (This practice, for the uninformed, is known as “vajazzling.”) Then she photographed them. The product of her work, “The Vajazzling Series,” is revealed in her exhibition “Touched,” which opened last week at (Art) Amalgamated.
“A lot of the time we make decisions without knowing why we make decisions,” Ms. Goodman told Gallerist as she walked us through the gallery one sunny morning before the show’s opening. “We’re bombarded by the media and advertising, and are being sold a vision of ourselves. We don’t question where they come from.”
Ms. Goodman explained that while women shave their pubic region as an act of empowerment, most women don’t realize that the practice originates in pornography. As she spoke, we looked up at an image of one woman’s hairless crotch that was decorated with red jewels in the shape of a flame licking the edges of her thighs and belly.
“There’s a push-pull,” she said, “of like who are you doing it for.” Hence, the phrase “I Do,” which she chose because vajazzling is advertised as a treat for special occasions—like, for instance, saying yes to the one who proposed to you, apparently. Only one of the women photographed was engaged and these jewels fell off after about two hours as opposed to the usual two days.
“People get very uncomfortable about seeing the pubic area without hair when it’s photographed,” she said. “I keep getting told, ‘They’re not that easy on the eyes.’” Ms. Goodman laughed. She then walked us over to a refrigerator in another part of the gallery. “It’s supposed to be lit up,” she said, and had us move in closer whereby we heard the sound of a woman’s voice speaking pro-anorexia mantras. This is one of Ms. Goodman’s older works, which are in the show along with the hood of a muscle-car bejeweled with girly gems, a car seat festooned with lost earring and beautifully embroidered reproductions of toilet-stall graffiti.
While you may not be running out to the next vajazzling salon, take a look at some of Ms. Goodman’s work in the slide show above, and be dazzled.

The Dark Side: An Oral History Of Black Porn
BLACK PORN STARS HAVE BEEN GETTING THE SHAFT FOR DECADES, OPERATING IN THE SHADOWS OF THE MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR INDUSTRY AND PUTTING IN LONG WORK FOR SHORT PAY. VIBE TALKS TO AFRICANAMERICAN PORN ACTORS WHO ARE TIRED OF BEING JERKED AROUND, UNLESS, OF COURSE, THERE’S A RESPECTABLE CHECK INVOLVED

DIANA DEVOE WAS WELL aware of the consequences.
You have to be when you aspire to break into the porn business. There’s the specter of AIDS. Family rejection. An unavoidable scarlet letter that is forever branded onto those individuals who are brazen— or disturbed, or adventurous—enough to be paid to perform sexual acts on camera.
DeVoe, a college-educated native of Hawaii, had always had a fascination with the adult film industry going back to her days when she briefly operated a swinger’s club in the late ’90s in her home state. But as she sat in a cluttered Los Angeles office in the winter of 1999, there was no turning back. “I didn’t have any moral issues with porn because I was already shooting people doing it,” the 36-yearold explains from her L.A. home. However, as an African-American, what DeVoe wasn’t fully prepared for was what she calls unapologetic racism. “The guy at my first meeting told me, ‘We can’t sell Black women… You’re not desirable to our audience.
But if you’d like to give me a blow job behind the desk really quick, that would be cool.’” She laughs at the absurdity. “It’s not like, ‘Oh, I’m so offended you asked me that,’ because I wasn’t doing it. It was the mixed message of, ‘You are completely unattractive as a Black woman, but come here and get on your knees.’” She has since left behind her days as an adult performer to become a successful porn director, and her story represents just one of several divergent African-American experiences within the polarizing porn profession.
The sometimes-dark world of X-rated erotica is not immune to the stinging reality of discrimination. Meanwhile, practitioners of professional pornography face the same overarching issues concerning their livelihood. The multibillion-dollar industry is battling through a decline in revenues, studios have reported a 30 percent drop off as far back as 2009 (blame pirated online content and the ability for virtually anyone to shoot an adult fi lm on the cheap). None of these issues have been enough to bridge the gap. Interracial porn may be one of the industry’s most popular genres.
Yet, past and present white female porn stars such as retired legend Jenna Jameson and current blue queen Alexis Texas have refused to perform with Black men. It’s not just an issue of segregation. African-American porn actors are often paid less than their white counterparts (a Black female headliner may get $500 to $700 a scene, white females by contrast can routinely bank more than $1,000). Based on the testimonies of De-Voe and the trailblazing actors who spoke to VIBE on record for this story, Black porn operators are still largely regarded as the “other.” Here, they undress the industry with a type of oral history that gives insight into life as a Black porn star.

MAMA, I WANT TO BE A (PORN) STAR

JEAN VAL JEAN, 70 (male): Transitioned from porn acting to directing in the ‘90s
(Active Years: 1981–1998)
As a swinger, I used to go to New York’s Plato’s Retreat sex club in the late ’70s. And one of the guys that used to give parties got into porn. So one day, he calls me and says, “You should try it out.” There were not a lot of Black people doing porn back then, except for people like Johnny Keyes and Desiree West. I started with the advent of video, and I was working with a lot of the ’70s stars. Video was a lot faster, cheaper and easier to work with than 8mm film. I didn’t have a problem with getting it up in front of a whole bunch of people [laughs].
LEXINGTON STEELE, 42: Veteran porn performer and director and owner of the mainstream adult fi lm company Mercenary Pictures
(Active Years: 1996–Current)
I was a Wall Street stockbroker. Around ’94, the broker that I had trained under invited me to a swinger’s party. My turn came around, and I had some fun with it. I met a photographer named Nevin Washington at another swinger’s party, and I started doing some adult modeling in magazines. My role model was Sean Michaels. Once I knew I could make a living as an adult performer I said, “Well, let me chase the fantasy while I can.”
PINKY, 30: In-demand adult film star in straight and lesbian genres
(Active Years: 2006–Current)
I had been a dancer and an escort before I was doing porn. But it really started when me and my boyfriend at the time started making home movies. We decided to start our own [adult film] company and do something big. You have to know that when you go into porn that your family will find out. And they will most likely not like it. Someone is going to hate on you and leave your DVD on your doorstep or in your mailbox.
MISTY STONE, 26: The most prominent African- American female adult film performer in mainstream porn
(Active Years: 2006–Current)
I was molested by my father, who is now deceased. That experience definitely messed up my mind. From that I went into the falling path of being a porn star. You start with being with a pimp to being a stripper. And after the dancing I went into the porn business. At first it was only for money, but now I feel like this is where I belong, because I am controlling my own destiny. I love being on camera… I’m a total attention whore. It’s a screwed-up situation how I got here, but I’m now very happy where I am.
SKIN DIAMOND, 25: A rising alternative star in the Adult film and bondage and submission world
(Active Years: 2009–Current)
Although I’m a mix of Ethiopian, Danish, Yugoslavian, Czech and German, I knew I was Black. I got a lot of racial bullying. I had a pretty strict upbringing growing up in Scotland. My dad was a missionary. But I was always intrigued with sex and women because I had seen a few clips of porn when I was younger. I got into the porn business by accident. My parents found out within a month. My dad was afraid that I was going to start prostituting myself behind the scenes and getting into drugs and basically being what everyone stereotypes a porn star as being.

NEXT: SHOOTING IN BLACK AND WHITE

JANET JACME, 45: AVN Hall of Famer, who has starred in 150 films
(Active Years: 1993–2001)
I only did movies with Black men my first year because that’s what I was used to [laughs]. I really didn’t see the white side of porn for a while. And then they started calling me. There was one white boy who rocked my world, so that’s when I figured, “This is not bad.” But the white girls wanted to get more money for having sex with a Black dude than they would get for a normal scene. That was pretty much the first thing that made me go, “Wow, that’s pretty damn racist.” Of course I saw the unequal pay between whites and Blacks. I realized I couldn’t get a contract with certain companies because I was Black. I didn’t have that certain exotic look that they wanted.
MR. MARCUS, 41: Star, producer, director and founder of Daddy Inc., a made-to-order clothing line
(Active Years: 1994–Current)
The funny thing is you meet a girl and she won’t shoot with you because you’re Black. But when the money dries up, then they start to consider, Well, I haven’t done interracial yet. It’s just out of pure ignorance. There was one girl that would do this thing on the Internet and it became pretty big. She was doing the whole Webcam thing when it was first starting. The way they wanted it done is the girl would call the Black guy she was having sex with “nigger.” And I was like, “Nah… she ain’t gonna call me that.”
HEATHER HUNTER: When I started in the business, I was being billed as being Black and Italian. I had to hurry up and nip that in the bud and let people know I was proud to be African-American. And then there were the titles of the movies. My manager and I didn’t really want to do any stereotypical titles like Chocolate Swirl. The porn companies did not give contracts to Black girls back then. And I just felt, “Well, why can’t the African-Americans do that?” And when I got signed to Vivid in 1990, I became the first Black female to be under contract.
MISTY STONE: The bottom is getting $300 a scene. Whereas now I’m getting $1,300 a scene. It took a while for me to get that. And there are African-American girls now who will never reach that goal. They will always get $600 or $700. That’s just the way it is. I think my publicist, James Bartholet, had a lot to do with [getting me better pay]. Having someone who can market you is a big deal.
BELLA MORETTI: Film star on the rise
(Active Years: ‘09–Current)
The sad thing that I hear a lot from white guys is, “Man, I don’t usually like Black girls...” My first interracial scene on camera, I was so embarrassed because the movie was called Black Chicks on Cracker Dicks. I had to shoot a scene where I had to blow eight white guys, and the director wanted them to wear Confederate flags. And I thought, Aw, no! I made them take it off.
PINKY: Honestly, I had a very good experience coming into the business. Racism never really came across. It was more Black-on-Black hate. They want to point the finger at white people. There are a lot of Black-owned companies that never offered me a distribution deal. So I ended up going with Black Market, which is not owned by a Black person. And a lot of people were salty that I did a deal with them. But those Black companies weren’t trying to give me opportunities.
ROXY REYNOLDS, 28: Actress, producer, and owner of porn company Hard Body Entertainment
(Active Years: ‘06–Current)
I did a tour with Jenna Haze, Alexis Texas and Alektra Blue. I was the only Black female on the tour. I don’t think we ever got discriminated against like that. If you don’t do certain things like anal you don’t get as much as the [white] girls that do. But the Black girls get paid more than the white girls when we perform in the clubs. The white girls are knocking out two or three scenes a day versus Black girls who will knock out maybe one scene a week. So they are supposed to get more.

NEXT: SEX, AIDS, AND THE GAY-STRAIGHT DIVIDE

JEANNIE PEPPER, 53: Female superstar of the ‘80s, 1997 inductee into the AVN Hall of Fame
(Active Years: 1984–2007)
It was scary in the ’80s. There was a lot of risks when it came to AIDS. My mom and my family were concerned, and I don’t blame them. You were taking a risk every time you walked on the set. And AIDS was still new to us. People needed to take their own tests. There wasn’t any mandatory AIDS and STD testing like they have now.
PINKY: I caught diseases in my first run during my first trip to L.A. I’m really open and honest about that, even though people like to make fun of me. Luckily it wasn’t nothing that I couldn’t get rid of. So I decided to only shoot my own stuff. I started making sure I did condom shoots. That’s my personal preference, because I started to feel like it wasn’t worth risking my life.
DIANA DEVOE: There have been guys that have successfully crossed over from gay to straight [porn]. But there is a division. The gay porn industry uses condoms, but they have people who are HIV positive actively working. [The AIDS Healthcare Foundation] has no problem with that. But they were so successful in fighting [the straight porn industry] that they destroyed the central place where we got tested. Now what’s important about having a central place to get tested is that you don’t have tests coming from different places. When something happens it’s easier to trace back because everyone got tested in one facility. So in the pursuit of trying to make us safer, they made us less safe.
MR. MARCUS: I would get asked if I did gay movies. And I think that’s something that is in people’s minds when it comes to guys in the industry. But it’s not something that you have to do. There are bisexual men out there… And there are gay men out there. I don’t cross that line because I’m not interested in that type of sexuality. But if that’s your thing, that’s cool.
LEXINGTON STEELE: I’ve been tested every single month since December of 1994. Knock on wood, it always comes back negative. I don’t know how they are going to enforce the new condom law. If Mercenary is shooting in L.A. or France or Miami, you can’t tell where I’m shooting at. The reasoning behind the law is understandable, but the implementation will be very difficult. Are you going to spend money on the condom police?

POST INTERRACIAL

LEXINGTON STEELE: The way you achieve mainstream status is when your name is considered more recognized as a household name. That’s when you show up in a mainstream television show or movie, whether it’s being cast in Crank 2 with Jason Statham or Showtime’s Weeds. There are people who have misgivings about the adult industry. How can you be a spiritual person and still be in the business is a very strong, valid argument against what I do. But as the head of Mercenary Pictures, there are two things that are very important to me: that my product is not accessible to people under the age of 18, and that I never misrepresent myself as a Black man.
HEATHER HUNTER: When you come from the adult film business people feel like that’s all you. But I made it happen. I got into music and signed a deal with Island Records, and then I signed to Tommy Boy Records after that. I’ve worked with Scott Storch, DJ Premier, Wyclef Jean and all my friends that were supporting what I was doing and helping me change my life. I wrote a novel and I opened an art gallery in Brooklyn. I had a show on Playboy TV with Sir Mix-A-Lot. And I ended up getting my own show on BET called The Peep Show. I have two online magazines. You have a lot of adult stars that can’t get into magazines like Smooth and Maxim. I’m creating [publications] to showcase them in a very classy way.
PINKY: Every time I’ve had a distribution deal, and I own my product. I get 70 percent of the profits. When girls ask me about getting into the business, the first thing I ask them is, “How old are you?” Usually they are teenagers, so I tell them they have their own lives ahead of them. This is something that once you do you can’t take back. Everybody can’t be a star. Porn is not what it’s cracked up to be. The game is getting slim. Illegal downloading is hurting the porn business. Bottom line: If you don’t own anything and if you are just the talent, it’s going to end bad for you.

Hollie Stevens Passes Away
LOS ANGELES — from www.xbiz.com - Adult performer Hollie Stevens has passed away after a battle with breast cancer.

Stevens died on Tuesday morning, according to Eric Cash, her new husband who confirmed the sad news on his Facebook page. She was 30.


"Hollie Stevens took her last breath while I held her hand," Cash wrote.


"I had heard her breath hitching, and walked into our bedroom and kneeled with her. Morgan Bailey was also there. After a long hard fight, she died peacefully, and surrounded by people she loved."


Stevens, a native of Kansas City, Mo. born Tia Kidwell, entered the adult industry in 2003 and had starred in more than 170 adult films for just about every major production company. In addition to being a published writer and artist, Stevens was also a frequent performer for Kink.com and loved clown porn. She even called herself "The Queen of Clown Porn" on her Tumblr page.

Vanessa L. Pinto writes on www.sfgate.com :
Hollie Stevens, best known as "The Queen of Clown Porn" died on Tuesday, July 3, 2012 in San Francisco. She fell asleep peacefully while holding the hand of her husband, comedian and artist, Eric Cash.

Debuting in 2000 as feature dancer, "Holly Wood," she traveled across the U.S. performing to packed houses. She was nominated for an AVN in 2004 for Best Group Sex Scene, (The Bachleor) and won the AVN award in 2004 for Best All-Girl Scene (The Violation of Jessica Darlin). Hollie performed in over 170 titles as well as being featured on kink.com, DungeonCorp.com, hogtied.com, chantasbitches.com, The Howard Stern Show, performing at the Lusty Lady, and more.


An accomplished painter with works hanging in the Hyena Gallery in Burbank, Hollie was also a long-time writer and model for Girls and Corpses magazine, a DJ, live visual manipulator, performance artist, kickboxing champion, and an extraordinary wife and friend. In a recent conversation, she shared that the things she would want to be remembered for is that she loved being a wife and friend more than anything.


Hollie was diagnosed in March, 2011 with Stage 3, Metastatic Breast Cancer. Within a year, it had spread to her bone, rib, liver, and brain. After an outpouring of support from a fundraising effort facilitated by her family of friends which raised $16,000 she said, "I cannot believe how many people care, how good my fans are, and how much complete strangers have helped me. This is unreal. Not everyone hates clowns after all!"


In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The San Francisco Shanti Project or the American Cancer Society.


The story of Hollie Stevens taught me many things, one of them being that true love really exists. Hollie passed away holding the hand of her husband, Eric Cash, the love of her life. This young woman was a clown-porn pioneer, an athlete, a model, and a comedian. She was taken from us far too soon, and she will be greatly missed.


I would like to thank Hollie Stevens, Eric Cash, and Laura Lasky, for allowing me to write about Hollie's life and ultimately her death. Hollie's story is one that I will not soon forget, and I am forever changed after writing about it. May your next world be just as blessed as this world was, for knowing you.
