Rockets' Red Glare, Bombs Bursting in Air: Last Night's 4th of July Fireworks in and Around Los Angeles
On Friday evening, pornstar and director (as well as recent UC Irvine guest speaker and former Howard Stern Show guest) Dana DeArmond (MySpace) celebrated the release of her Vivid-Alt (MySpace) movie Role Modeling with a party at the 6th Street Warehouse in Downtown Los Angeles. Donations of canned food at the door benefited the Downtown Women's Center.
Also in attendance, besides DeArmond's boyfriend Daniel and Vivid-Alt head Eon McKai (MySpace), were photographer Dave Naz (MySpace) and his girlfriend Ashley Blue, porn starlet Tory Lane (MySpace), porn actor Alex Gonz, God's Girls' Coco Velvett and her boyfriend Jeremy, AVN photographer Gia Jordan (MySpace), and XBIZ reporters Tod Hunter and Joanne Cachapero.
This was the largest Vivid-Alt party thus far, not just in terms of sheer size but crowd turnout as well. And arguably the loudest, as it was the first to feature live music, with performances by Sons and Lovers (MySpace), Crystal Antlers (MySpace), and Restaurant (MySpace).
More photos (don't worry, they're SFW), and a video of DeArmond chatting with firefighters (who had been dispatched to investigate a complaint against the Warehouse) after the jump.

These people are just gross. There's nothing interesting or artistic about what they do.
Dana is actually a very sweet & smart girl. Perhaps you should take your judgement somewhere else... like back to the Midwest.
fun party!
Oh I see.... Midwest *bad*.... no "judgement" (sic) there.... hmmm... are you as "sweet" and "smart" as Dana?
At the very least, beyond being gross, people in porn have issues. Why their ersatz celebrity is celebrated is beyond me -- unless of course it is when their minions, purveyors and documenters have to pony up a can of Ravioli for the holiday homeless at a dvd release party... then they are humanitarians! Never mind that Ms. DeArmond's "Role Model" business is documentation of more young girls getting into the porn biz. Yes, very sweet. And smart.
Actually, I grew up all over SoCal and I worked in porn for 5 years, but for the job, I never had an interest in the talent.
And you don't have to be from the Midwest to have dignity and grace. These girls have learned to get attention by being a slot for a human jackhammer.
