ANDREW BLAKE HAS NEW GIRL

Director Andrew Blake seems to have found someone to make up for losing Dahlia Grey, looking to sign a "big deal" with newcomer Kate Moore.

Blake says he's going to Venice in February to shoot a film and is hoping to nail down a deal with Moore soon. "Kate has dark hair, natural breasts, and is extremely leggy," Blake says. "She's my kind of girl."

He says he and Grey "just came to a parting of the ways," with Grey never really being comfortable in the adult film business from the outset. "(And) I like to be obsessed with a girl," he says. "Now, I need to find a new obsession. But I think it's good. I need to keep things fresh."

Blake plans to spend much of the year filming in Europe, adding Anita Blood as "another permanent fixture" in his work.

"I use a lot of European girls, and it's difficult to compensate them here in the U.S.," he says. "That's my motivation for shooting in Europe. I like being out of the office. I like traveling. And I like Inari Vachs, too. I wasn't sure about her, at first, but she's extremely compelling to look at having sex. She has all the moves. She's not necessarily the physical type that I like to shoot, but her other qualities transcend that."

His Pinups 2 is due to be released in February, starring fetish specialist Dita - known among other things for shrinking her waist down to 16 ½ inches. "She's done a lot of fetish/corset stuff with that Bettie Page type of flavor," Blake says. "Her look is rooted in the 40's and 50's and she's the real thing in terms of the fetish model. For me, anyway."
