Is AVN Melting Down?

Word from inside and outside the company is that there is a lot of in-fighting and that the new owners aren’t paying their bills as judiciously as they should. Paul

Today’s Lesson: Don’t judge a SLUT by her cover

I have to tell you about my weekend. But to properly tell you the story I need to go back in time a few months to the first night I walked into 2001 Odyssey in Tampa, Florida. For those of you that live in Tampa, or have ever visited Tampa, you know the place. If you have never been to Tampa, what’s keeping you? Anyway, so I went into the club one Saturday night after I moved here. To make a really long story MUCH shorter (trust me, you’ll thank me) I will fast-forward a bit. I met Delilah Strong, porn mega-star and multiple AVN award-winner my first day. You know Delilah, Mike knows her. She is a veteran of over 500 movies and has many box covers to her credit. She is one luscious piece of Sicilian-Puerto-Rican ass. Delilah is a member of the “Kennedy Family” of the porn world. Her mother was Deborah Coxx who performed in the 80’s, her sister is Samantha Strong (and yes they have appeared together before) and her cousin is Courtney Cummz. That is a regular familial porn dynasty! She has won “Best Three-way Sex Scene” and the coveted “Dirtiest Girl in Porn” at the AVNs.
