With Honey Bunny, "Virago offers a unique insight into her own persona as artist and pornographer, delivering a multifaceted work that exists as a film, a performance piece and an art show."

In attendance were stars Adrianna Nicole (MySpace), Max Mikita, Varla Vex (MySpace), Poppy Roxx, Tyler Knight, and Dino Bravo. Also present were Vivid-Alt head Eon McKai MySpace) with Sarah, Dave Naz (MySpace) and girlfriend Ashley Blue, model/photographer Alejandra Guerrero (MySpace), newcomer Andy San Dimas (MySpace), and former gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey, as well as AVN editor-in-chief Dan Miller and photographer Gareth Pursehouse.

San Dimas was in town to shoot scenes for McKai's new movie On My Dirty Knees this week. Photos from the first day of shooting will be published on LAist in the near future, but you can get a sneak peek here.
