Working at Philadelphia porn company HotMovies.com

This week I profiled Dee Viant of HotMovies.com about working at a Philly porn company.



Here's an excerpt:

Has Viant ever felt discriminated against because she’s a woman in a business largely focused on naked ladies? “Never,” says Viant, “but I’ve definitely felt that in more formal workplaces. At the office, it’s a business environment; we have to be mature about sex.”

Yet she can appreciate some of the more absurd aspects of her job. She gets to travel to Las Vegas for the annual AVN (Adult Video News) convention, where Ron Jeremy signs DVDs — and body parts — at their booth. Her most surreal ex-perience? “At AVN, it’s known that if you’re interested, Ron will lift up your top and fondle and/or kiss and suck your breasts. This year, one of the AVN staffers told me, ‘You’ve got to tell Ron the nipples have to stay covered.’ That was just hysterical. I thought, ‘What the fuck is my life?’”

Jenna Jameson's retirement from porn

Audacia Ray liveblogged the AVN Awards last night on Twitter last night, so I caught this news, but here's Jenna Jameson's announcement that she's retiring from porn from YouTube: (via)



I'm kinda more interested in the fact that Joanna Angel, who was up for Crossover Star of the Year (the award Jenna announces above) is on this season of L.A. Ink. Her films also make a cameo in the film I Am Legend.
