Purple Bitch Slays as Premium Social Media Powerhouse

Russian creator and indie superstar Purple Bitch, who also goes by “Taty,” is as sassy and colorful as her name suggests, with a fan base so passionate about their beloved cosplaying queen that they helped catapult her to win top premium social media honors at the XBIZ Cam Awards and XBIZ Europa Awards this year.

Originally a small-town girl from Siberia who adored anime and grew up admiring the Suicide Girls, Taty jumped into adult content as soon as she could.

From camming to producing her own videos, she and her husband now offer fans everything from solo content to group sex scenes with other high-engagement stars.

With a pet raccoon named Kuzya, wigs and costumes galore, as well as fancy gear to capture her every sexy angle, Taty has a uniquely punchy and plucky brand that many admire.

She also currently ranks among the top 25 most-watched stars on Pornhub, enjoys healthy sales from the dozens and dozens of studio-quality films she releases via AdultEmpire and has amassed more than a million followers on social media.

As the XBIZ Creator of the Month for November, Taty opens up in this exclusive interview, with flair and spunk, about her plans for expanding the Purple Bitch empire.

XBIZ: What inspired you to become an adult entertainer?

TATY: I’ve been a big fan of SuicideGirls.com for many years, and always dreamt of becoming part of the community, with its beautiful naked alt models. They inspired me to be a part of this industry, so as soon as I turned 18 years old, I immediately did an adult photo shoot of myself, before venturing into camming and content creation.

XBIZ: What is the “Purple Bitch” brand as far as your personality, fashion style and content vibes?

TATY: I prefer to work in the cosplay category, because I love anime, manga and comics in general. When I was a teen, I wanted to try dressing up with the different looks of anime characters, but I didn’t have money for cosplaying at the time. And, my mom didn’t allow me to watch anime because she thought that it was something demonic, haha. But she never tried to watch anime with me and understand my point of view.

So I made my first cosplay outfits entirely by myself and they were very bad. But now, I can cosplay any character that I want and I’m happily able to produce the best cosplay adult videos ever.

XBIZ: Discuss how you collaborate with other performers to maximize revenue, online traffic and creativity.

TATY: I always film boy/girl content and threesome scenes with my husband. But for lesbian and group sex content, my husband and I prefer to collaborate with our friends, because we know what to expect from them while filming or streaming. We just text each other, offering ideas for collaborations, then we get tested and we film everything. I sometimes work with models that I don’t know personally, but it’s a good opportunity to exchange traffic from our respective fan bases and bring in new faces in my videos.

XBIZ: Describe your strategies for successful cosplay. What characters are your favorites? How do you make the costumes?

TATY: I think that cosplay is for everyone, so I don’t have any tips on how to make it better necessarily. You can make your own outfits or order them online, but regardless you can make it look good. I focus on cosplaying characters that I really like, my favorites being Hinata, Power and Ahri. I don’t make the costumes myself these days, because I don’t have time to do that, so I always order my outfits on the internet and style the wigs myself. I sometimes create small props and accessories as well.

XBIZ: What is your strategy for marketing yourself and your content on social media, as far as posts, DMs and different SFW vs. NSFW sites?

TATY: I use a lot of different sites for posting my content. I think it’s very profitable, because I can show myself everywhere. I don’t like using SFW sites because they aren’t friendly for sex workers, and even when I post SFW content on them they tend to delete my posts. I try so hard to make high-quality content, using expensive electronics, lighting and a cameraman, to entice fans with captivating marketing material.

XBIZ: How do you reinvest your earnings back into your business to continue growing and improving?

TATY: Mainly I spend a lot of money on better outfits, advertising and high-tech electronics. I also invest it in traveling to collaborate with other models, as well as taking care of my physical and mental health. Because when I’m healthy, I can work more and create better content.

XBIZ: What kind of content sells the most for you, as far as scenario types, customs vs. posts, DMs vs. feed, etc.?

TATY: I find my fans love everything about me, haha; I shoot all kinds of content and people seem happy to get it. I sometimes film non-cosplay videos too and people like that as well, but these days I don’t shoot custom content anymore; people often order something crazy and it’s too much for me.

XBIZ: How do you balance your busy work schedule with making time for a personal life?

TATY: One year ago, I started to work hard for one month with non-stop shoots, followed by two months without shoots. During the off months, I slowly release what I shot during the busy months, and take care of a lot of offline work. I also have three assistants, a dedicated cameraman — and my husband, of course — who help with offline work like marketing and editing.

XBIZ: What was it like winning two XBIZ Awards this year for your premium social media mastery?

TATY: It was very cool; I really wanted to get as many trophies as I can, because it means so much to me. It means that people know about me, respect me and admire my work. It’s like winning an Oscar for an actor. So thanks a lot to my fans who voted so hard for me and a big thanks to XBIZ for noticing me. I hope I’ll win more trophies in future, because I’m going to create more and more content.

XBIZ: Tell us about the biggest dreams you hope to accomplish this coming year.

TATY: I want to travel a lot and visit different countries. It was impossible because of COVID before, but now many countries are opening their borders. I also want to have my own big house where my pet raccoon can have a swimming pool, haha. And I want to work with some big studios, as I dream of producing ever-higher-quality content for my fans.

‘Love Not War’ Launches Sustainable Wand ‘The Koi’

'Love Not War' Launches Sustainable Wand 'The Koi'

LONDON — U.K.-based sex toy brand Love Not War has announced the launch of sustainable wand The Koi, available starting next month.

The company, a rep noted, continues to “champion the cause for greener eco-friendly sex toys with the petite Koi, one of the smallest wands on the market.”

“Yet,” the rep added, “the Koi is powerful and features four intensity levels and seven vibration patterns. It is fully waterproof and features a travel lock.”

The toy was designed and created in Love Not War’s “custom-built, green-energy-powered factory and is made from predominantly recycled and recyclable materials,” said the rep. “The green-conscious company limits the use of plastics in its products and uses body-safe and earth-safe materials, such as FDA-grade silicone, recycled aluminum, eco-friendly glue, soy ink and FSC cardboard packaging in a bid to be as sustainable as possible.”

“Wands are a popular sex toy,” said CEO and co-founder Will Ranscombe. “But up until now, there were [limited] eco-friendly options on the market. Consumers who wanted a fuller head on their toys to stimulate a larger surface area have had to settle for devices that fall short when it comes to sustainability.”

“At Love Not War, we have a culture that is completely centered around sustainability and creating high-quality products that don’t compromise on pleasure or cost the earth,” Ranscombe added. “The Koi, along with the other products in our range, is leading the charge in the sustainable vibrator sector. The consumer world is starting to make some sizable shifts in terms of the products they are buying and the different sustainable habits they are putting into practice.”

Love Not War launched in early 2021 and has introduced six other products; for more information, visit the Love Not War website.

South Korea Targets Philippines-Based Alleged Porn Distributor

South Korea Targets Philippines-Based Alleged Porn Distributor

MANILA, Philippines — An alleged South Korean porn distributor has been arrested in the Philippines by immigration authorities after Seoul officials requested his deportation and accused him of “distribution of over 7,400 obscene videos via internet file sharing websites.”

South Korea officially considers pornography illegal and “obscene.”

According to reports from the Philippines, the 38-year-old Jung Yonggu was stripped of his passport by South Korean authorities, who then asked the Philippine government to issue a Warrant of Deportation in October.

Operatives of the Philippines’ Bureau of Immigration then arrested Jung on Nov. 1 in the historic, Spanish-built port town Cebu City, several islands south of Manila. Jung was charged with “being an undocumented alien and a risk to public safety and security.”

“The office received information of his crimes from South Korean authorities,” an immigration officer said. “Upon receipt of the information, we immediately filed a charge against him and conducted an investigation to locate and arrest him.”

Philippine authorities told the press, “Jung has an outstanding warrant of arrest issued by the Seoul Central District Court in November 2018 for promoting and circulating pornography, and other related crimes under the Criminal Code of the Republic of Korea. He fled to the Philippines in July 2018 to evade his conviction and arrest.”

Jung is accused by South Korean authorities of “being responsible for working with a Korean convict in the distribution of over 7,400 obscene videos via internet file sharing websites, allowing access to pornographic materials to thousands of online users.”

Freedom Novelties to Distribute Frohle Products in North America, Australia

Freedom Novelties to Distribute Frohle Products in North America, Australia

NEW YORK — Freedom Novelties has announced an arrangement to carry Fröhle products in Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United States through its exclusive distro agreements.

A rep described Fröhle as “the highly regarded German company which offers potency solutions for everyone. Patented offerings include the original penis pump, and several variations, as well as medical-grade breast pumps, nipple suckers and vagina pumps.”

“Scientific data has shown that approximately 30 million people in the United States struggle with erectile dysfunction,” noted the rep. “Fröhle’s penis pump operates by increasing blood flow to the penis, allowing the user to enjoy a lasting erection for intercourse. At the same time, around 40% of people with vulvas are afflicted with other forms of sexual dysfunction, such as Female Sexual Arousal Disorder. Vagina pumps can be amazing for those in need, as they engorge the vagina with increased blood flow. This increases sensitivity and arousal, leading to the possibility of satisfying intercourse.”

Brian Herbstman of Freedom Novelties is honored to bring Fröhle to new markets.

“The quality and reputation of this brand is well-known and esteemed throughout Europe as each product in the line has been designed to provide intimate solutions to real customers,” he said. “This philosophy has kept Fröhle on the intersection of the medical and sexual health industries since inception, and it’s the spirit we at Freedom embrace as well.”

The company is “proud to partner with well-known and respected distributors,” added the rep, such as Williams Trading Co., National Distribution and Entrenue in the United States; PinkCherry in Canada; and Australian Adult Product Distributors in Australia and New Zealand.
