PARAMUS, N.J. - Tera Patrick marks her 50th issue as publisher of Genesis magazine with the May 2008 issue, and as part of this milestone edition, Wicked Pictures contract girl and 2008 AVN Crossover Star of the Year Stormy Daniels graces its cover for the very first time.
"Stormy is truly one of the industry's superstars, so it's a perfect fit and an honor to have her on our cover," said Genesis editor-in-chief Dan Davis.
Daniels' hardcore 11-page pictorial was shot by Thomas Rifter of Suze Randall Productions and features her in a Mardi Gras setting with Justin Magnum.
Commented Patrick, "Thanks to my good friend Stormy for helping me celebrate this monumental occasion! When I first came in the business, I shot for every adult magazine. It was exciting, as I believe that print is such an important facet of the media, especially for creating star power. You can watch all the porn you want on the web, but there is still something to say for the tangible printed photos of sexy women.
"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Magna Publishing Group for all their support," Patrick continued, "and Genesis editor and close personal friend Dan Davis for believing in me from the beginning. I am glad to be able to call Genesis my home."
"We couldn't have picked a better star to work with than Tera," said Davis of Patrick, who has appeared on the cover of Genesis 10 times throughout her adult career. "She epitomizes what Genesis is all about: beauty, heat and featuring nothing but the top stars in adult. She helped re-launch our magazine, and it's been nothing but incredible since she signed on with us."
Also in the May 2008 Genesis are pictorials of Casey Parker, Ashley Jensen, Jessica Lynn, Micah Moore and Candy Manson, plus a behind the scenes report from the set of this year's AVN Awards-sweeping Upload (SexZ Pictures), interviews with Joanna Angel and Trina Michaels, and a feature on porn stars crossing over into the mainstream.
The May 2008 issue of Genesis magazine is on newsstands now.
