HOLLYWOOD, CA — Angelina Valentine is taking her career in a new direction with the intention of causing quite a stir in 2013; she’s signed with OC Modeling to represent her and has hired The Rub PR to market and expand her image.

“I knew I needed to make a change. I’ve done so much, but there’s so much more to do,” says Valentine. “I knew OCM would give me the representation I’ve been craving. Sandy is amazing! And, Erika and her team at The Rub PR will be finding me new avenues to promote myself and help me launch my new company. I’m so excited about what the future holds!”

Last night, Angelina appeared on The Naughty Show Podcast with Seinfeld comedic writer, Fred Stoller. The show can be heard at http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/sam-tripoli/the-naughty-show and will be available on iTunes within a week.

In May, Valentine will be throwing a launch party for her new company, Sexually Disturbed, and this summer, she’ll be hitting the road to feature dance.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.—Author Jill Nelson will be appearing at Exxxotica in Atlantic City to sign her new book, Golden Goddesses. The massive 950-page volume profiles 25 actresses who were active in adult film between 1968 and 1985, when film began to be replaced by videotape as the medium of choice for adult production.

"My intention is to escort readers toward a clearer understanding of the beautiful and intrepid females who favored an alternative profession in adult cinema that was cultivated at the apex of the 1960s sexual revolution," Nelson said. "To suggest that their chosen path has been comfortable or without debris would be false, for as each unfolding story will reveal, experiences for a female employed in the adult entertainment industry, during the generation when it was illegal to participate in the production of sex films, were anything but ordinary."

The book has received a number of laudatory reviews. GoreGoreGirl.com said, "Nelson's agenda-free approach is refreshing in that it allows for the full spectrum of experiences: good, bad, and in between. For this reason, the book is not always a comfortable read. The project prompts questions, provokes critical thinking, and opens up a space for these women to truly voice themselves and their experiences rather than functioning as a 'ventriloquist's dummy,' to borrow Anne McClintock's phrase, for whichever agenda-driven group needs them. Through careful structuring, Nelson manages to narrate these women's stories while at the same time never overshadowing or undermining their voices."

The release of Golden Goddesses was celebrated at two Hollywood launch parties, one at the flagship Hustler Hollywood store on the Sunset Strip and one at the legendary Larry Edmunds bookstore on Hollywood Boulevard just down the street from Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Both parties featured appearances by many of the woman involved in the book, including Kay Parker, Veronica Hart, Serena, Rhonda Jo Petty, Amber Lynn, Ginger Lynn, Georgina Spelvin, Annie Sprinkle, Kitten Natividad, Kelly Nichols, Sharon Mitchell, Christy Canyon, Nina Hartley, Laurie Holmes, Julia St. Vincent, Raven Touchstone and Carly Mills, daughter of the late softcore actress Barbara Mills.

"I'm looking forward to Exxxotica," Nelson said. "It's rewarding to see that people are interested in the history of the adult film industry, as told by the people who were there."

Nelson will have a limited number of copies of Golden Goddesses available for purchase, and she will be happy to sign previously-purchased books brought by fans. "Golden Goddess" Nina Hartley will also be available to sign the book at the booth on a limited schedule.

Exxxotica takes place April 19-21 at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino & Resort, 1000 Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey. For more information visit the Exxxotica website.

For those who cannot get to Exxxotica, Golden Goddesses is available at online bookstores worldwide. It is published by Bear Manor Media and the ISBN is 978-159393298-5.
