'Triple Ecstasy' Halloween Release Party Photo Essay
On Halloween, pornstar and director (not to mention a former girlfriend of Howard Stern Show staffmember JD Harmeyer) Kimberly Kane (MySpace) celebrated the release of her Vivid-Alt (MySpace) movie Triple Ecstasy with a party at the self-described "industrial disco-tech" Das Bunker (MySpace) in Los Angeles.
Among those in attendance besides Vivid-Alt head Eon McKai (MySpace) and director Octavio "Winkytiki" Arizala (MySpace) were pornstar-turned-photographer Gia Jordan (MySpace), former porn journalist(?) Luke Ford, and starlets Sasha Grey (MySpace), Ava Rose (MySpace), Lystra (MySpace), and Jade Starr (MySpace), as well as Belladonna's brother Jason Sinclair, model Amie Decker, and The Game author Neil Strauss. And there was the usual Friday night Das Bunker crowd, but dressed in various costumes ranging from human poodles to a Colonial Marine from Aliens, albeit sans weaponry due to security concerns (which didn't stop said Marine from boasting once inside that he still had his prop grenade).
As for Kane, she and Grey had a reunion as the two were recent covergirls (NSFW) for Bizarre as part of an article on the rising popularity of the Alt-porn genre. Kane mentioned that her next movie that she'll be directing will be an autobiography called Morphine, focusing on her life in the Pacific Northwest. As for Grey, who was photographed (NSFW) by Terry Richardson for Penthouse and is the featured performer in Dave Navarro's directorial debut movie Broken (NSFW), mentioned that she was originally supposed to be in Triple Ecstasy, but didn't elaborate (presumbly it was due to scheduling conflicts).

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
