VIVID STUDIO INSIDER FOR JANUARY 9, 2004

VIVID STUDIO INSIDER FOR JANUARY 9, 2004

SAVANNA’S FIL*O*SO*PHY

– It’s pretty widely known that Vivid

Girl Savanna Samson is an opera and ballet

aficionado, and now she can add sexual philosophy

to her credits. Well, at least “fil•o•so•phy.”

That’s the name of the hot online magazine (http://www.filosophy.com)

that interviewed her for her take on home sex videos.

Reporter Rocky Russell got Savanna

to ponder the philosophical aspects on all sorts of

questions, particularly the practical aspects of home

sex videos. She says the best technique is to “set

the camera stationary and plug it into the television

and watch it going on live, it's a real turn on. Also

it's good masturbation material for when you're by

yourself.” She also discusses the pros and cons

of various sexual positons, toys, lubricants and other

props. The article is available at:

VIVID IN THE SPOTLIGHT AT AEE –

The first week of January in Las Vegas is the adult

entertainment industry’s biggest week, and thousands

of visitors stopped by The Vivid Entertainment

booth at the Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE)

at the Sands Expo Center. The Vivid

Girls attracted huge lines of fans, particularly

when Tera Patrick made her first

major public appearance as a Vivid Girl. Tera

-- along with Jenna Jameson, Briana

Banks, Sunrise Adams, Savanna

Samson, Mercedez, Kira

Kener and Tawny Roberts

-- signed autographs and posed for photos for hours

at the booth (#6003, which remains open until January

11th). From time to time the Vivid Girls slipped away

to the Davidoff cigar stores in the

Venetian Hotel to help introduce

the new Vivid Sophisticate Premium Hand Made

Cigars. At one point actor-rocker Steven

Van Zandt (of the E Street Band

and Silvio Dante on the “Sopranos”)

stopped by the Davidoff store to

check out the new smokes and pose with Vivid

Girl Tawny Roberts, whose topless image is

on a limited edition mini-poster wrapped around each

cigar. Another highlight in Las Vegas this year was

the introduction of the new line of Vivid

Comix graphic novels, with an appearance

at Vivid’s AEE booth by famed comics writer

Steven Grant. The big week for adult

was capped by the 2004 AVN Awards

show Saturday night at the Venetian Hotel,

where Vivid has received a record 71 nominations.

“HEART” HEADED FOR DVD

– “Heart of Darkness,”

the first Vivid feature with Sunrise

Adams as a Vivid Girl will

be released in DVD format for the first time on January

21st. The major Paul Thomas production

received 14 nominations in the 2004 AVN Awards

film categories, eclipsing any other film. The story

revolves around a Randy Spears character

who needs sex, lots of it, and the nastier the better.

Sunrise and her co-stars meet his every requirement

in 12 big sex scenes.
