in malls now, one new winter lineup is raising eyebrows:

Snowboard maker Sims has teamed up with top adult

entertainment company Vivid Entertainment to produce

a new line of snowboards featuring Vivid’s top

stars... Vivid sees this as an opportunity to increase

brand name recognition with other kinds of products.”
