It's All in the Package
English may be spoken pretty much everywhere around the world, but anything you buy these days from televisions to cars come with instructions in at least three different languages. Toy manufacturers have begun using multiple languages (French, Spanish, English and German top the list) not only to sell their products in other countries, but also to deal with the influx of foreign consumers that reside here in the U.S. By creating one package with multiple appeal, they not only save money (no need to produce multiple packages for each toy), but they can reach an audience that speaks other languages. With the toy market rapidly expanding despite a bad economy, multilingual packaging is finding a new way to line the pockets of major manufacturers.
The King of Latin Porn
Marco Banderas has been referred to as The Maraca Machine and of course, The King of Latin Porn.

Understanding the Asian Appeal
The die was cast more than 10 years ago, when I shot my first feature, the softcore “Asianatrix: Suffering Eternal,” in a dry-ice-filled sex club in San Francisco. An all-girl affair, it starred native Japanese porn star Suzi Suzuki, Korean-American fetish model Kumi, and an unforgettable performance artist/stripper/ sex worker named Jade-Blue Eclipse who would randomly pop up over the ensuing years in my more commercial work, lending it the cultish, colorful flair that I often strive for.
