Porn Valley- You can check out some background stuff on Lauren Phoenix and her involvement with Dov Charney and American Apparel. www.adultfyi.com/read.aspx?ID=10426.

Charney is being sued by three ex-employees for sexual harassment. www.adultfyi.com/read.aspx?ID=10388. I met Phoenix on the set of Penetration Nation for Torrid films www.adultfyi.com/read.aspx?ID=10360 and we had a chat about her modeling sweat socks for Charney.

“Dov Charney is a friend of mine,” Phoenix states. “He photographed me.” Phoenix supects that mainstream papers picked up on the fact that she was a porn star and was modeling for a mainstream clothing line. “I guess it caused some attention but I’m not under contract or anything.” So I ask Phoenix what exactly was the deal with her provocative poses in athletic socks. “It was very provocative,” she agrees. “Dov Charney is a wonderful man. He’s a free spirit. He really wants to do good for the porn industry. He wants to get the word out about free love and freedom of expression and creativity. I think he’s all about love and not at. He’s trying to get out that message. I’m down with him.”
