Cheap Thrills, the sexy costume division of leading lingerie manufacturer Magic Silk, has just launched its new website.

Cheapthrillscostumes.com is the one-stop source for distributors and retailers to check out the variety of costumes Cheap Thrills has to offer.

Established in 2008, Cheap Thrills is the latest addition to Magic Silk and has been a hit with retailers and consumers alike. Various styles—including Frenchie, Way After School Girl and Nurse Bettie—were hot sellers in 2009.

“This is an exciting time for the Cheap Thrills website to launch,” commented Jessie Biele, director of marketing and public relations for Magic Silk and Male Power. “All of our divisions are experiencing strong growth. Cheap Thrills has become so popular in such a short amount of time, and the new website will serve as a way for the brand to increase its popularity through direct communication with retailers and customers.”

The Cheap Thrills costume collection will be expanded this year, with 16 new styles added to the repertoire. Visit CheapThrillsCostumes.com for more information and to view the latest styles.

New Starlet Kagney Linn Karter has announced the launch of an all-new website.

The Missouri native has been busy working with adult website innovation company Brand Danger preparing her state-of-the-art web home, kagneylinnkarter.com, for this week’s debut.

“We’re going to have tons of hot photos, scenes, live shows and lots of nasty ass-smacking and cocksucking,” Karter said from the set of Star Trek XXX 2, the last movie she will shoot for Hustler before she enters into her exclusive contract with Zero Tolerance.

“It took us a long time to get this site just the way we wanted it,” she continued. “I didn’t want to put out some half-ass site just to have something out there. I’m extremely happy with what Brian [Brand Danger’s owner] has put together. It does everything I wanted and more.”

Karter also won the award for Best POV Sex Scene on Jan. 9 at the 27th annual AVN Awards Show in Las Vegas.

No question about it: good design always has something to do with passion and lust, especially where sensuous products like love toys from Fun Factory are concerned.

The international jury for the iF product design awards 2010 agreed, and three Fun Factory products were awarded the internationally renowned prize for design. The vibrators DeLight and BiMiNi FLASH, as well as the vaginal balls SMARTBALLS Teneo duo stood out in the category “Leisure/Lifestyle” with their expressive forms.

These small works of art combine the quest for pleasure with timeless elegance. Only upon close inspection does the observer get a more exact idea how much passion is packed into each exceptional design.

The DeLight already won the reddot design award in 2008—the first erotic toy ever to gain this honor—and also was nominated by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology for the Design Prize 2009. The iF product design award marks the fourth commendation the DeLight has received for design.

The white vibrator BiMiNi FLASH also makes a statement with its unique floral-inspired design. This sleek, elegant bud form has an extra offshoot, which as a standout style element opens the door for playful experimentation. Never has stylish design been so much fun.

The SMARTBALLS teneo duo is a work of design poured from a single molding. Tension is created by the repeating relief that wraps around both balls. The SMARTBALLS teneo duo were already awarded the design prize “Gute Gestaltung 10” from the German Designer Club (DDC) in the category “product.”

The renowned iF product design award has been handed out since 1953 and is considered to be one of the most important design awards worldwide. This year, nearly 2,500 submissions from 39 countries fought for the coveted design seal of approval. The three winning products from Fun Factory, along with all winning designs, will be exhibited at the iF product design award exhibition in 2010 in Hanover from March to August 2010.

Veteran adult producer Rob Rotten and his Punx Productions Inc. studios have announced the creation of the Punx Productions Hall of Fame. The first three inductees will be revealed on his company’s website on Jan. 29. Rotten and a panel of industry veterans narrowed the list to three from over 20 candidates. New inductees will be announced annually.

Each will receive a celebratory plaque and be added to the Hall of Fame roster on the Punx Productions site. Rotten stressed “a no-nonsense backbone” to his new awards showcase.

“I’m announcing my Punx Productions Hall of Fame now because everyone just got slapped around by the toxic, hours-long commercial that is the Golden Globes,” said Rotten, who has been a producer, director and adult performer for over 10 years. “Only real contenders and real talent will hope to receive a Punx award—and not because they needed a ratings boost to sell/rent the most DVD’s possible.

He added, “I’m not interested in the bottom-line, where’s the talent? That’s the Rotten spirit.”

Rotten said he plans to make this an annual celebration of worthy talent in the industry, and hopes to garner enough support and enthusiasm behind ‘the Rottens’ to have each year become “bigger and badder” than the last.

Check PunxProductions.com on Friday for the inaugural honorees.

Rotten told AVN that he is not focusing just on talent or directors for the honor. He is also considering “behind-the-scenes people who never get any recognition.”

The Punx Productions Hall of Fame plaque is bound by four steel rivets that holds a sheet of glass on top of it with engravings.

After successfully launching Obama, McCain, and Palin condoms, Practice Safe Policy has shifted its focus to the sports industry, and is proud to introduce a Special Edition Tiger Condom.

With the Valentine’s Day season in full swing, the jokers at Practice Safe Policy decided it’s time for the people of this great nation to forget about minor concerns like the war, the recession, or healthcare, and instead focus on the truly important issue of the day: Tiger Wood’s alleged transgressions.

These Special Edition Tiger Condoms are great for driving your balls closer to the hole in fewer strokes.

“We wanted to offer people something different for the holiday, so we came up with the Special Edition Tiger Condom,” said Benjamin Sherman, founder of Practice Safe Policy. “They’re the Cadillac of protection. What better way to ‘drive in’ the New Year than with a Tiger Condom?”

Tiger Condoms are black, to give you the sensation of being Tiger in the bedroom, the company said in a release. “Not only will you be able to handle 18 holes on your own, but these condoms will make anyone a better driver on or off the course,” it reads.

The condoms are available for $3.95 exclusively online at TigerCondoms.com. A portion of each sale will be donated to golf charities throughout the United States.

Venom Digital Media this week unveiled I’m Dreaming of Genie 2, the sequel to the best-selling title in the company’s history.

Jessica Lynn returns to star in the lead role and this time she is joined by super MILF Lisa Ann who plays her “evil sister.”

“This is my favorite movie. I think it’s the best one,” said producer/director Jordan Septo, who also owns Venom Digital. Venom’s movies are exclusively distributed by Juicy Entertainment. “Everything just came together for it. The cast was great. Lisa Ann was a great addition and Jessica Lynn is so much better in this one than the first one—her acting and performing and everything.”

It’s been exactly one year since Venom released the first I’m Dreaming of Genie and promoted it heavily at the 2009 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo. Based on the fanfare generated by Lynn dressed in her genie costume at AEE 2009, Venom orchestrated the same marketing blitz for the 2010 AEE Jan. 7-10 in Las Vegas.

“It was unbelievable how many people were coming up to her. We were just amazed,” Septo said, referring to how the starlet wowed the Vegas crowds. “People were amazed how much she looks the part.”

Genie 2 is Venom’s fourth scripted parody. The company’s first parody was Paris & Nicole Go to Jail. Then Venom released Getting It Up with the Kardassians before its original Genie movie.

“This was definitely a bigger project. This was diving in a little deeper, having to get costumes for everyone, and really having stricter guidelines to adhere to in terms of story and content. And it was definitely the most fun to do,” Septo said.

If fans have yet to watch the first Genie, they can still appreciate the new one.

“They pretty much stand alone, it’s its own story from start to finish,” Septo continued. “We tried to keep it true to the original show, where you can catch any episode you want. Each one is its own story.”

Jessica Lynn worked with Tommy Gunn in Genie 2. One of porn’s top leading men plays her ex-boyfriend who is also a genie. Lisa Ann shares a sex scene with Alec Knight who plays the genie’s master. Septo said he was fortunate to secure Lisa Ann’s services given her tight schedule. Lisa Ann’s popularity increased dramatically in 2009 on the heels of her ’09 MILF Performer of the Year honor and notoriety as porn’s Sarah Palin.

“She’s busy, she’s really busy. If I’m not mistaken she had just flown in from the night before from some gig she just did. But with her you don’t have to worry. When we talked to her about it, she had a pretty full schedule and we worked together to find a day,” the director said. “She really liked the idea. And she carries off her role to a tee.”
