LAS VEGAS — The Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development has certified Power Play Studio as a Tier One Local Emerging Small Business.

According to a rep, Power Play Studio is the only adult retailer listed in Nevada’s directory of over 1,000 certified Emerging Small Businesses, and it is also the first adult company the state has certified. Certification as a Local Emerging Small Business confirms that a company meets the state’s size and locality standards; it is not a state endorsement of a company’s products.

“Federal small-business lending has long been closed to adult retail,” said a rep. “Small Business Administration rules make any business earning more than a minimal share of its revenue from products of a prurient sexual nature ineligible for its loan programs — a restriction that applies across the sector regardless of how a company trades.”

Added Power Play Studio founder and Managing Director Elmer Whittaker, “Adult retail is a legitimate American industry. It employs people; it pays taxes; it follows the law.”

ATLANTA — Shaarebaare stars in the second installment of the “Smut Demon” series from “Smut Talk Podcast,” dropping Oct. 9.

According to a rep, the release combines horror-inspired imagery and storytelling with the “Smut Talk” attitude.

“We wanted part two to feel bigger,” the producers said. “The goal wasn’t just to make another release; we wanted something people would see the artwork for, talk about, anticipate, and immediately recognize as ‘Smut Talk.’ This time, we wanted the viewer to experience the POV of Smut Demon.”

SAN FRANCISCO — Pink & White Productions has debuted “A Body to Live In,” a feature-length documentary about Fakir Musafar and the cultural movements behind BDSM performance art and body modification.

According to a rep, “A Body to Live In” combines never-before-seen archival footage with insights from queer and artistic trailblazers including Annie Sprinkle, Ron Athey, Cléo Dubois, Jim Ward, and Midori, providing multiple perspectives on the emergence of a global subculture shaped by the AIDS crisis and spiritual reinvention.

“With particular interest paid to Fakir’s early experiments in body play and his photographic works from the 1940s and ’50s, director Angelo Madsen creates an intergenerational dialogue between Fakir’s archive and the voices of the movement’s canonical elders,” said the rep.

“A Body to Live In” is now streaming on PinkLabel.TV.

NEW YORK — Vanniall will host Free New York Party, presented by DIRTY and Strap, on Sept. 22.

“We’re lucky enough to get to work with industry stars who understand our message and are down to balance a freaky vibe with their own remarkable beauty,” said DIRTY Magazine founder Ripley Soprano. “The cover of this issue — featuring Vanniall in a wedding veil, à la ‘Sulka’s Wedding’ — is a real testament to that.”

Additionally, Vanniall will sign copies of Dirty issue 13.
 
“I’m so excited to celebrate this cover with DIRTY in the city that made me, New York City,” said Vanniall. “Signing the centerfold in person is going to be so fun. It’s a huge lineup; the party will be completely wild; and I’m ready to have some fun with everybody who comes out.”

ATLANTA — Hot2Vote, a coalition of more than 100 adult entertainers and creators, has launched a $100,000 advertising campaign across metro Atlanta to promote voter registration.

Hot2Vote is a nonpartisan collaboration between Artists United for Change and the New Moon Network. Comedian Margaret Cho is among the celebrities supporting the voter registration campaign, which is projected to reach between 400,000 and 450,000 people in the metro Atlanta area, according to a rep. The campaign features the participation of local performers Hazel Grace, Kimmy Kimm, and Holly Hendrix.

“Following the cancellation of nearly half a million inactive voter registrations in Georgia last year, the campaign uses pin-up-style posters and targeted digital ads to encourage Atlanta residents to visit hot2vote.org, where they can confirm they are still on the rolls and fix any problems in time for the November election,” said the rep.

Grace elaborated about the campaign.

“Over the next few weeks, my team and I will be out hitting the clubs around Atlanta and connecting with our community to make sure everyone checks their voter registration status,” said Grace. “It is critical that you confirm you are still on the voter rolls and that your registration has not been purged. If you see us out and about — or see a Hot2Vote.org poster — don’t wait. Visit the link, check your status, and make sure your voice is ready to be heard.”

Added Hot2Vote ambassador Casey Calvert, “The most effective protection any of us have is a ballot.”

The organization has released two SFW campaign videos on YouTube in an effort to reach people who have tuned out traditional political advertising, and the campaign runs through Oct. 4.
