Inari Vachs
Age: 35
Born: 1974-09-02
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Origin: Michigan
The perfect brickhouse and all natural to boot, this blonde (sometimes brunette) haired beauty, brown eyed bombshell stands at a petit 5' 5", 123 lbs., at a sweet 34-25-36. By far one of the most surreal experiences to stand in the presence of this goddess like figure. Blessed with the face of an angel brought to life by her innocently mischevous smile, hightened intellect and the gift of the gab make for a personality that is seldom found in a celebrity. This little beauty is sure to be in the hearts and loins of admirers for many years to come.
Inari has worked with many acclaimed, award winning directors including, but not limited to, Andrew Blake, (Studio A Entertainment.) Paul Thomas, (Vivid Film) Jonathan Morgan & Brad Armstrong,(Wicked Pictures) along with a plethara of others With numerous nominations herself, Inari presently holds the title as AVN's Female Performer of the Year. She was also honored with Female Performer of the Year and Best Actress for Vivid's Awakening by XRCO, X Rated Critics Organization.
Even before entering into the adult industry, Inari has been a fan of pornography and was influenced by many of the well know legends. Since then, she has appeared in the top rated and award winning movies by all the top companies.
She enjoys numerous outdoor activities including hiking, rock climbing and snow boarding; loves animals (has 2 pits bulls, numerous reptiles and a bengal kitten!)
As a matter of fact her name is one in the same as the Japanese goddess of good fortune and also a lake in northern Finland in the arctic circle. Inari isn't cold or icy though. And as for being pure, "pure" unadulterated feminine virtuosity would be more like it.
Inari is definitely good fortune: Wherever she goes, delightful things happen. Especially if your climax is in her control.

WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR NAME?
Inari is the Japanese goddess of good fortune (and has brought me such thus far!) and Vachs I took from Andrew Vachss, one of my favorite authors.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY?
I've been in the industry since November, 1997... and how old was I?? I was 23 when I got in. (Do the math!!)
HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE INDUSTRY?
When I moved to Southern Cali... I wanted to do something a little different. Previously I've worked in corporate establishments in a few different industries, from insurance/investments to reprographics. I've been a fan of the industry for years and thought, what a fun experience this could be! So, I found an agent and thought I'd try a pictorial. They asked if I'd shoot a video. After a moment of thought, I decided it would definitely be an interesting experience, and if I didn't like it, I never had to do it again. Well... here I am, 6 years later! I am very happy with where I am today.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT BEING IN THE INDUSTRY?
I am most grateful at the opportunities being in this industry has offered. I've visited other countries, met wonderful people (yes, some celebs too!), learned a wealth of information, and am able to own a successful corporation. I feel very fortunate and proud for what I.V. Multimedia is accomplishing. My partner, Justin Gulley, is definitely the creative force that drives us into the new for quality entertainment. I'm a very lucky girl!
HOW DOES A GUY LIKE ME GET INTO THE BIZ?
Move to California!
DO YOU REALLY LIKE SEX?
Absolutely! I've always felt that being in touch with your own sexuality is very important to understanding your own personality. So, you need to know what you like, and practice it as often as you need!
DO YOU ENJOY BEING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA?
I have definitely enjoyed my time in front of the camera. I'm a bit of an exhibitionist, so I've had fun with it!
WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?
I'm a Midwest kid... Michigan born, growing up loving 4 seasons and white Christmas', and having dreams of California...

Kobe Tai
Age: 38
Born: 1972-01-15
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Asian
Origin: Tai Pei Tawain
Name: Kobe Tai Eyes: Brown Hair: Black Height: 5'3" Weight: 90lbs Measurements: 32-19-31 Ethnic Heritage: Chinese/Japanese This enigmatic young starlet is one of the latest additions to the ranks of Vivid Video exclusive performers. She's a very thin, very tiny (not even five feet tall) Asian sex kitten who leapt into the world of porn with both feet -- in her very first film she proved that she wasn't beyond doing anything sexual there was. Kobe Tai is an American-born Asian who speaks with a distinctly U.S. accent, and she's got a clean-scrubbed and youthful look (and an amazingly tight body complete with enhanced boobs) that makes her vigorous sexing all the more delightful to watch. Kobe broke into hardcore in 1996 under the name Blake and then Brooke Young. So far, her output for Vivid has been quite limited, but there should be a sexy host of salacious Kobe Tai video released in the coming months. She makes a welcome addition to the always too-thin ranks of top-flight Asian porn starlets

Devon
Born: 1977-03-28
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Origin: Daytona, FL USA
Devon was born in New Jersey under an Aries sun. She's a family girl at heart, taking pride in her older sister and two younger brothers. Devon has always been very active and participated in gymnastics and jazz dance instruction until she was 15. She graduated high school early and craving independence, took a waitress position to support herself.
While Devon was serving pizza to area residents, a co-worker told her about amateur night at Al's Diamond Cabaret in Redding, Pennsylvania. The idea of being on stage, dancing nude to the music of her choice in exchange for much better wages was eminently appealing and Devon showed up to audition at the very next contest. With stars in her cards, Devon wooed the audience and walked away that night a first place winner, with the jackpot in her pocket and a new career successfully launched.
From that night on, Devon knew she was born to perform. Finally, she was achieving the freedom she had craved. She danced at Al's for the next three years and rubbed shoulders with some of the adult industries biggest stars. With an enormous sexual appetite and desire for worldwide recognition, Devon filmed her first gonzo production and submitted it to a major distributor in the adult industry. They fell in love with the ambitious and adorable blonde girl and signed her to immediate contract.
In 1999, Devon appeared on the E! Entertainments' Howard Stern Show and began posing for several men's magazines. She quickly earned cover placement with Club magazine and went on to be named Penthouse Pet in the January 2001 issue.
Today, Devon is still very active. She works out everyday, either at the gym, on the stage or on the slopes. She is an avid skier and loves traveling. Devon is out going and adventurous and her striking looks complement her warm nature. She loves animals and people and aspires to bring a smile to everyone she meets.
Devon's innocent enthusiasm lends eminent depth to her characters, making her one of the most demanded performers in the business. Her performances are nothing short of amazing and her productions stay on the best sellers list for months on end.
In January 2002, Devon's first project with Digital Playground, Virtual Sex with Devon received AVN's prestigious award for BEST INTERACTIVE DVD, marking the first award of her career and calling attention to Digital Playground's founder, Joone. He knew she was special and her performance was out of this world so when the timing was perfect, Joone signed Devon to exclusive contract with Digital Playground. President Samantha Lewis raves about the decision, Devon is a wonderful addition to our family. She is beautiful, kind and she possesses the exact qualities we were hoping to find. Signing Devon proved to be a fabulous decision, Virtual Sex with Devon went on to receive the award for Best Interactive DVD from Empire and AFW, solidifying a position in Digital Playground's hat-trick hall of fame.
Upon signing the contract, Devon was immediately chosen for the starring role in Nic Andrew's directorial debut for Digital Playground. Titled for Devon's amazing performance, Devon Stripped received rave reviews from critics all over the world and took its place at the top of the sales charts. AVN magazine says, Devon shines and AdultDVDEmpire agrees, Well written, visually stunning and with a performance that should propel Devon into superstardom. Nightmoves presented a trophy to Devon Stripped, declaring it Best Video mere months after its release.
Devon's official web site, DevonXXX.com features thousands of pictures, along with countless interviews, press clippings, video streams, diary entries and a virtual shopping experience. AdultFilmFan.com writes, I was impressed with the site layout and technical merits. The site is aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate. Devon's user-friendly interface combined with cutting edge technology sets new standards in Internet design. Oui magazine concurs, Devon's official web site is super user friendly and caters to your requests.
In May of 2002, Devon appeared on Stuff magazine's home page and as a guest on Playboy TV's most popular show, Nightcalls 411. She was also featured in Revolver and Guitar World magazines and throughout the 2003 Guitar World Buyers Guide. Later in the summer, Devon's popularity on the dance circuit led her to host Deja Vu's Erotic Dancer Contest. At the same time, Penthouse magazine declared that Devon was in the running for Pet of the Year and booked her to appear in their Pet of the Year Playoff video. Stun! magazine also featured Devon prominently in a glowing editorial piece about Digital Playground's Virtual Sex line.
With the success of Devon Stripped fresh on his brain, director Nic Andrews created and wrote a new script expressly for Devon. His second production for Digital Playground, RUSH passed the critics judgment with flying colors. RogReviews.com writes, Devon provides sexual heat and makes this another contender for Best Feature of 2002. Devon's performance received universal praise and earned her additional Best Actress nominations. The Bomis Babe Report says this of RUSH, Devon is the main attraction here, and once again she proves she is one of the sexiest women in the business.
With a perfect resume, a sound support system and a secure position with the industries leading technology and marketing company, the future is bright for this rising star.

With her classic beauty, fabulous eyes and trademark luxurious blonde hair, Janine is an enormously popular superstar whose fame goes beyond the adult film world. She returned to Vivid Entertainment in 2004 after a brief hiatus.
A self-described tomboy while growing up, she chose to go into modeling rather than attend college on an athletic scholarship after she was offered a Penthouse centerfold on the basis of a test shoot. Her Penthouse magazine and video appearances helped launch her career in adult films.
As a Vivid Girl, Janine starred in best selling films such as Blondage and the popular Where the Boys Aren't series. In addition she has won numerous AVN Awards. Famed adult photographer Suze Randall says of Janine: "One of a handful of giant sex superstars, this young woman has it all - an amazing body, a powerful personality, enormous charm and an acute business sense." Another biographer says she "has been called the most beautiful woman to ever enter the Adult Entertainment business. She's carved out an impressive resume, with only top quality projects, such as work with Penthouse, and now Vivid Video." Janine is featured in the Timothy Greenfield-Sanders book XXX-30 Porn-Star Portraits.
