Tera Patrick to Host Florida Car Show; Launches Mainstream Website

Adult film star and Vivid Girl Tera Patrick will serve as Mistress of Ceremonies at the Orlando Hot Import Nights Car Show on Saturday, May 15, where she will host a Capristan swimwear fashion show, announce the winner of an exotic new car, greet fans, and sign autographs.

"Hot Import Nights and the import car sub-culture is just opening up to a whole new range of fan," Patrick told AVNOnline.com, "and with America's love for the hot chick and the hot car, I fit right in."

Patrick, the only model to appear simultaneously on the covers of Playboy and Penthouse, and who was the former host of the Playboy Channel's Night Calls, will appear May 14 from 5 p.m. to 12 a.m. at the Orange County Convention Center at 9800 International Drive in Orlando.

"Hot Imports Night is the youngest, hippest car show tour, which goes not only across the U.S. but to Europe, Honk Kong, and Japan, and draws crowds of up to 30,000 per show," said a representative of Patrick’s company TeraVision. "It's a tour, and she is appearing in a different city every other Saturday night.

"It's a chance for her to meet her younger or mainstream fans who might not see her at her feature dance appearances," the representative continued. "Tera loves to meet her fans and being that a large part of the car sub-culture is Asian, and she has such a big Asian following, we felt this was a marriage made in heaven."

In related news, Tera recently launched a mainstream auto-themed Website, TeraSport.com, that features racy, but not nude, photos of Patrick with hot rods and various other cars.

"It's a PG-rated gallery for her fans who aren't adults and has a click-through to her adult site for her fans that are 18 or older," said her representative.

After a two-year leave from the adult industry, Patrick signed on as a Vivid Girl contract actress with Vivid Entertainment in January 2004. Her first film, Tera Tera Tera, produced by her own company, Tera Vision, will be released by Vivid on May 26.

Tera also recently shot the cover of car magazine Import Tuner and will be appearing at her own booth (#428) at Erotica LA from June 18-20, which will be sponsored by California Exotic Novelties and Glamour Girl magazine.
