JANINE RE-SIGNS WITH VIVID TO WORK WITH MEN

VAN NUYS, CALIFORNIA ” (April 13, 2004) ” Janine, a superstar in the adult film world, has re-signed with Vivid, and this time the sky’s the limit. Slated to work with such men as T.T. Boy, Evan Stone, Mr. Marcus, Joel Lawrence and Steven St. Croix among others, Janine will resume performing in erotic movies under an exclusive contract with Vivid Entertainment Group, where she will become a Vivid Girl once again. The classic beauty with her fabulous eyes and trademark luxurious blonde hair begins shooting for Vivid this week.

“Since leaving Vivid and the adult industry, I have felt as though I was on a runaway train,” says Janine. “I loved the feeling of being grounded and in control of my life and career when I worked for Vivid. I’ve missed that feeling and that’s why I’m going back to it.”

A self-described tomboy while growing up, she chose to go into modeling rather than attend college after she was offered a Penthouse centerfold on the basis of a test shoot.

Her Penthouse magazine and video appearances helped launch her career in adult films. She was invited by the celebrated Andrew Blake to do her first XXX film, “Hidden Obsessions” in 1993 and it became a huge success. Subsequently Janine signed with Vivid and starred in best selling films such as “Blondage” and the popular “Where the Boys Aren’t” series. In addition she has won numerous AVN Awards, including for Best All-Girl Sex Scene.

“I feel peaceful and very at ease with myself today. I had a mental roadblock about working with men on film, but that is gone now and I feel totally liberated and as excited as a schoolgirl at the thought of working with guys. I’ve watched the business change over the years and hope that adult will never go so mainstream that it loses its edge. I love the idea of doing things that are just a little naughty. I like being the girl in the raincoat…forbidden.”
