PARAMUS, NJ -GENESIS, the “Home of Porn’s Hottest Stars,’ is pleased to announce that the grand prize winner of their SEX STAR HUNT erotic photo contest is Tassy Pink. For winning the 2006 version of the contest, Tassy wins a $10,000 cash prize and will appear in the future editions of the magazine, including photos from her first-ever professional layout in their Holiday issue, which is on sale now.

Tassy was selected as top girl out of the twelve monthly winners over the course of the last contest year. The SEX STAR HUNT contest took girls who had previously been amateurs in the sense that they had not performed professionally in adult films or in men’s magazines, and gave them the opportunity to compete for the cash and title. Each month, eight contestants are selected by the editorial staff from hundreds over entries received of aspiring models, college coeds, and the girlfriends, friends and wives of readers. Out of those eight monthly entrants, one girl is selected as the monthly winner and receives a cash prize of $1000 and an all-expenses paid professional photo shoot and layout for the magazine. “This contest has long been a reader favorite,” GENESIS Editor-in-Chief Dan Davis said. “The readers voted and helped us choose Tassy as our newest winner. We’re all thrilled that she’ll forever be connected with the magazine, and glad we could help her launch what will be an incredible career in adult.”

As the 2006 Grand Prize Winner of SEX STAR HUNT, Tassy is more than excited to have been given this top honor by the magazine, and said that she plans on exploring her options in the adult industry, including film, modeling and web. Tassy is currently in the process of securing an agent, but can be reached at [email protected]. Previous winners of the contests who made their debut via the contest and who have gone on to XXX stardom include Vivid Girls, The Love Twins, and award-winning feature dancer/adult actress, Exotica.
