LOS ANGELES — Wicked Pictures has released the second scene from director-performer Seth Gamble’s “Money,” starring Vanna Bardot.

The scene, titled “Speak Easy to Me,” was produced by Axel Braun.

A rep described “Money” as “an arresting visual anthology showcasing five industry superstars in richly authentic depictions of avarice, narcissism and empowerment.”

Gamble lauded Bardot, saying she has “that classic movie star look. She’s absolutely stunning. When I wrote ‘Speak Easy to Me,’ she was the only one that popped into my head.”

The director/performer added that their chemistry on screen was “undeniable.”

“This is, by far, one of my favorite visual scenes I’ve ever been in and shot,” he said.

Bardot said she was “instantly intrigued” when she found out about the concept for “Money.”

“When Seth told me about the storyline for the scene that I would be doing, I was very excited,” she added. “I loved being able to shoot a gonzo scene but with a super-dramatic twist. All aspects of the scene really came together so well, from the location to production and the sex scene itself.”

Bardot described the scene as “without a doubt one of my personal favorites I’ve shot so far in my career.”

As XBIZ reported, the first scene of “Money” co-starred Gamble and Ivy Wolfe. Upcoming scenes feature Anna Claire Clouds, Violet Starr and Kenzie Anne.

LOS ANGELES — Fangear.vip and GFE Model Services CEO Danny Ferretti is returning to work full-time on Monday following a health crisis.

Diagnosed five years ago with severe emphysema and congestive heart failure, Ferretti was rushed to a Philadelphia hospital last month with sepsis pneumonia. He was placed on life support, and was not expected to recover.

“He was in the hospital for 26 days,” said a Fangear rep. “When he got out, he couldn’t stand or walk — and still can’t. But that isn’t stopping him at all.”

Ferretti expressed gratitude for the well wishes he has received from family, friends and colleagues.

“I have gotten a ton of support from a huge amount of people,” he said. “From my wife Rachel, to our Fangear family and to all the models we work with, especially Kendra Sunderland, Kayley Gunner, Kenzie Anne and Nikki Benz.”

Ferretti spoke with enthusiasm about the future of Fangear.

“I really want to thank everyone for reaching out and for being patient; we got a little backed up, but we’re full speed ahead again now and looking forward to new models and getting those calendars online for the October presales,” he said. “You didn’t think I would let calendar season kick off without me, did you?”

LOS ANGELES — Fetish performer Amazon Amanda debuted her new membership website, BBW XXX Adventures.

The site currently features more than 25 performers, with plans to release approximately a half-dozen scenes per month. Already announced as participating are performers Erin Green, Dan Ferrari, Luna Lark, Puerto Rock, Mulan Blossom, Shaundam, Princess Dandy, Maria Bose, Montse Swinger, Alexxxis Allure and BlackDDMamba.

“I believe that you’re never too old to enjoy the thrill of great and adventurous sex,” said Amanda. “BBW XXX Adventures is an independent BBW production house founded and operated solely by a female entrepreneur. Having the vantage point of a performer, and also as a consumer of adult content, I noticed a lack of age- and body-inclusive content in the market. My goal is to help fill that void.”

Amanda also stressed that she plans to focus on fetish scenes.

“Not forgetting my roots as a fetish performer for the last 20 years, BBW XXX Adventures will also be incorporating some fetish and kink into the scenes,” she said. “[Y]ou know, just to add to the adventure.”

LOS ANGELES — ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning will attend Webmaster Access, set for the GrandResort Hotel in Limassol, Cyprus from Aug. 25-28.

“ASACP’s mission without question is one of the single most important endeavors in our industry,” a Webmaster Access spokesperson said. “We are proud to support the association and its incredible efforts to protect minors worldwide, and we encourage our Webmaster Access attendees to connect with Tim at the show.”

Henning’s goal for the event will be to educate stakeholders about the need to protect minors online by keeping them out of and away from adult-oriented entertainment and how using ASACP’s free services can help in this endeavor.

“Webmaster Access attracts adult website operators and their affiliates from across the globe,” Henning said. “This event series draws many professionals that may not often travel to U.S.-hosted events, providing the association with an opportunity to reach the widest audience possible with our message of online child protection and corporate responsibility.”

ASACP Travel Sponsor, DialXS, has underwritten Henning’s admission to the event and hotel accommodations.

“Thanks to DialXS, and the promoters of Webmaster Access, ASACP can engage top business leaders as well as industry newcomers face-to-face,” Henning added. “By extending our reach to new audiences, they provide a perfect opportunity to deliver the association’s message to frontline operators and relevant stakeholders, wherever they are based.”

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Jordan’s newest scene, “The Debt Collector,” stars Penelope Woods performing with Will Tile.

In the release, Woods is on the hook for her father’s debts. When money isn’t enough, Woods decides to use her body to settle the debt with Tile.

“I really wanted to do something to show people how much I have grown as a producer, director, videographe, and photographer,” Jordan said. “My team and I started from the bottom, shooting with 480p cameras from the pawn shop; now we’re using cinema cameras. I hope everyone enjoys the new content that I’m creating. It’s definitely going to be more cinematic, but I will still throw in some of that old-school ‘Pussy Bandit’ material.”

Woods praised working with Jordan.

“Being a part of this cast was so fun and it’s always a pleasure working with Will Tile,” she said. “He knows how to make sure I get mine. As for Jonathan, it was a privilege being on this set creating such awesome taboo art.”

Echoing her positivity, Jordan also spoke highly of Woods, Tile and the others who made the experience possible.

“I’ve been in the adult industry for about 10 years come November, and I must say this is one of my best works yet. Thanks to Penelope, Will, and my P.A Charlie Hart, we all came together to make an epic video,” Jordan said.

A trailer for the scene can be found at JonathanJordanXXX.com.

LOS ANGELES — Svakom has unveiled two pleasure toys, Pure and Union, featuring its new patented Pulse Technology.

The Pulse Pure, releasing Monday, followed by Pulse Union on Wednesday, are the initial products in a new collection.

“Pulse Technology works to create a deep suction sensation, stimulating the clitoris and erogenous zones both externally and internally,” a rep said. “This will be the start of a fascinating new lineup of toys for Svakom, focusing on providing a mind-blowing suction experience, with a multitude of different features.”

Both devices are made from body-safe silicone and feature magnetic charging ports. Each boasts a four-hour battery life and water-resistant design.

Pulse Pure, available in pink and navy blue, can be controlled using one of five different suction modes that offer varying levels of intensity.

Pulse Union, available in violet, also features five suction modes and five levels of intensity, as well as a memory function allowing users to resume control using the last mode used. A textured handle allows for a secure grip and the nozzle is designed to fit all body types.

Union also offers control through the Svakom app and includes an LED display that coordinates each mode to a different color to simplify users’ control experience.

“We are incredibly excited for people to experience Pulse Technology; it is something we have put a lot of passion into — working to make a suction toy that offers deeper stimulation,” the rep said.

DUBLIN, Ireland — Segpay has expanded its Dublin office and doubled the number of staff members for its EU/EEA headquarters.

A rep noted that the new Dublin office is located in the Ballsbridge neighborhood, where a number of tech giants are based. The EU/EEA headquarters was established in September 2020 and covers all Segpay payment and merchant services in the EU/EEA. Segpay still maintains licenses in the U.K. for U.K.-based merchants.

Ailish Penston continues as CEO of Ireland operations, while Billie Stevens has joined to lead compliance and risk initiatives. Terry Nichols has joined Segpay to lead sales and business development for the firm.

Finance has expanded to include Claudine Clare and Maria Murphy, who are “instrumental in the function,” the rep said. “Paul Haugh will drive the compliance underwriting team and Tony Langsford has been added to the team to provide additional strength for the increased merchant business. Segpay Ireland is growing, and additional staff members will join the company soon.”

Segpay selected Ireland for its EU headquarters in 2016 after the initial Brexit vote.

“As the transition process moved forward, Segpay underwent the intense process of becoming a licensed payment institution ahead of the Brexit deadline, banking through the Central Bank of Ireland,” the rep said. “The local Ireland office is home to both the EU staff and its EU board of directors. The team manages all Segpay EU/EEA merchants, allowing them to process through several EU acquirers and Segpay as a payment facilitator.”

CEO Cathy Beardsley noted that the EU market “continues to grow, and we are excited to expand our staff to provide our EU customers with the best possible experience.”

Penston added, “I am proud to lead the team serving our European merchants with dedicated payment processing services and solutions.”
