Funny. Tera Patrick told Las Vegas Weekly she was going to be making less movies. Here she tells reporter Richard Abowitz she’ll be making more.
Las Vegas- [vegasblog.latimes.com] I am about to head down to the Adult Entertainment Expo and Consumer Electronic Show. But I just had a quick phone conversation with Tera Patrick, one of the biggest names in the industry. She has told the Buffet exclusively that she is planning a burlesque show at a Vegas casino in 2009. She would not offer the name of the casino, but I have reported in the past that she has had detailed negotiations with the Hard Rock, where she would be a perfect fit.
Richard Abowitz: How many years have you been coming to this convention?
Tera Patrick: This is my eighth year. I am being inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. That is exciting. I also am hosting my own event at LAVO. I am not going to be on the show floor this year. I am doing my own events at Lavo and Tao (see below). I am excited to meet the fans from around the world. I love handing out movies, giving autographs, promoting the website. I find everyone having a little piece of me exciting.
Abowitz: Has the downturn in the economy impacted your 2008?
Patrick: No. It hasn’t affected TeraVision. It has hit the industry as a whole. But TeraVision is doing really well and everything is on the up and up. It is good to be the queen.
Abowitz: Are you up for a lot of awards this year?
Patrick: I am up for awards. But I don’t know which ones. Ten — no, wait, 15. I don’t know what awards I am up for because I have been prepping myself day and night for the awards show. I am doing a tidbit for the show about being the best new starlet in 2000 and I have been working hard on that.
Abowitz: You’ve won awards and you have lost awards over the years. Does it make any difference?
Patrick: No. It is just good to be nominated. I could care less.
Abowitz: Is there any particular award you would like to win that you have not won yet?
Patrick: Nope.
Abowitz: What does 2009 hold for you?
Patrick: I am writing a book now. I am writing my biography. And I am preparing for my dance show in Vegas. It will be a burlesque show. I will be making more movies and working on promoting my website.
Abowitz: Please, talk about your show in Vegas. This is the first I have heard.
Patrick: I can not talk about it yet. It is top secret. But it will be happening in Vegas, and it is going to be a burlesque show at one of the casinos.
Abowitz: Can you say if we are talking about 2009 or 2010?
Patrick: 2009
Abowitz: What is your favorite part of the convention?
Patrick: Going to bed at night with my husband.
