'The Doll Underground' Release Party @ Little Cave, 4/9/08
Last Wednesday, Vivid-Alt (MySpace) head, director Eon McKai (MySpace), celebrated the release of his new movie The Doll Underground with a party at the Little Cave (MySpace) in Highland Park. As reviewed by Violet Blue, The Doll Underground "...is one of the best porn films I've ever seen, and it feels like anti-porn — it's almost against the system it came from by being all that it is — a deep investigation of culture from an industry we regard as being utterly bereft of culture beyond the superficial. Rise up, indeed. Highly recommended."
In attendance were stars Reagan Maddux (MySpace), Lexi Belle (MySpace), and Daniel (MySpace), with girlfriend Dana DeArmond (MySpace). Also present were photographer/director Octavio "Winkytiki" Arizala (MySpace), photographer/director Dave Naz (MySpace) and girlfriend Ashley Blue, director Vena Virago (MySpace), director Carlos Batts (MySpace) and wife April Flores (MySpace), director Kimberly Kane (MySpace), Zak Sabbath (MySpace) and girlfriend Mandy Morbid (MySpace), Lystra, Vivid Entertainment's David Peskin, AVN photographer Gia Jordan (MySpace), XBIZ reporter Joanne Cachapero, Tony Batman, XBIZ's Casey O'Donnell, and Fleshbot reporter DCypher.
Special thanks to Eon McKai and the Little Cave.
