About Our Clients
Tango Alpha Entertainment is set to launch a brilliant take on news, with a decidedly titular twist. It is difficult to find "new" ideas in adult entertainment, but the team at TA just might have hit on a hot one. It already has interest from mainstream writers, and that is sure to grow once the site launches in Spring of 2010.
Ron HarrisCrowned by Playboy as "The King of Erotica" and by People magazine as the master of softcore, Ron Harris brought the world 'Aerobicise', the first sexually implicit work out series. Mr. Harris has been a top-shelf fashion and erotic photographer for over 40 years. Mr. Harris brought Black and Blue Media in to publicize his sexy new contract girl Kara Duhe in September of 2008, and we continue to work with Ron on new projects that he has in development. The most recent is a rebirth of RonsAngels.com, taking the controversial supermodel egg auction site Ron created in 1999, and updating it as a preeminent artistic adult magazine site, devoted to the Apple iPad environment.
Michael Ninn is rightly credited with single-handedly changing the entire adult industry, fostering a focus on music video inspired imagery and introducing the "blow job eyes" style of capturing sex on screen. A multiple award winning director, who directed and produced the top notch features Shock, Latex, Acid Dreams, In the Garden of Shadows, Catherine and the block buster Sacred Sin, which was scored by Eddie Van Halen. In many ways, Michael Ninn is a dream client, as he supports any and every creative idea that a publicist can come up with. For the mega-budget feature he was working on in 2008, he supported us in creating an interactive, alternate reality game to publicize and market the sword and sandal epic he was poised to release. Michael Ninn is currently hard at work on creating a suite of IMNinn websites to introduce his unique vision into the virtual world. Black and Blue Media will be working with him on his new projects as they are unveiled. The first is iGirlPortal.com, launching in April of 2010.Tony Batman approached us about doing his publicity back in 2006 when he was with KSEX Radio. This actually caused quite an upset for one of the hosts to have their own publicist and jokes began about his ego. However, the envy was soon deserved because his name went everywhere and he began upstaging his peers at the station, enjoying a huge "Q" factor. The relation grew when Batman went over to Prime Time Uncensored, an internet TV station, where we worked out trade agreements for Ninn Worx and Platinum Blue Productions and took on the challenges of production, engineering and advertising. It's a good thing that Sherry has a background in radio production, and Jay has visual media training, because that all came into play while producing and coordinating traffic regarding commercials for Batman's show. Tony later moved the show back over to KSEX when they moved into their new studios in Chatsworth. In early 2008, KSEX morphed into RudeTV, and Tony Batman hosted a variety of shows on the new station. After leaving RudeTV,Tony Batman is on the road with partner, Showgirl Schevelle, we maintain our friendship and spread the word on his latest doings to keep his well earned celebrity alive.
Previous Clients
A few years ago we established a friendly relationship with pinup kingpin, Brandt Stebbins of Sticker Chick and Intense Management. Stebbins was very impressed with our work for Platinum Blue Productions and we would stay in touch regarding promotions and ideas. In 2008, we got a call from him about a gig he was putting together with the folks at Club Hell. We sent out some releases and he followed up with an offer that just couldn't be refused. Intense Management, Kontrolled Chaos (Club Hell), and Circus Disco were putting together Club Fetish Nation, a huge monthly event that incorporates dance, music, kinky performances and stunning eye candy. They asked us to come on board. We send out press releases, wrangle photographers, help co-ordinate the guest list, and even provide some art for the event.
As a rule, we don’t take on Video On Demand clients, especially newcomers to the field, but Midnite Videos has a nice crew. The company debuted in August 2008, specializing in high-quality video feeds, and high-definition videos. They also have a program called Midnite Dollars, which gives video distributors a real-time view of how many people are watching and how much money a title is making. As an additional promotional tool, we created a cartoon spokesperson, Midnite Sally, who through social networks and blogs intereacted with adult fans and gave news about upcoming titles at Midnite Videos. As an experiment, we began our first flash animation publicity and marketing project, "The Midnite Report", a video news clip featuring Midnite Sally introducing Midnite Videos new distribution clients, along with adult industry news.
Bondage Ball and Sexopolis
The producers of the Bondage Ball approached Black and Blue Media during Erotica LA in 2007 to discuss promoting their large scale adult events. More than just parties, these events are legendary, but the producers wanted to take the event publicity to another level. The relationship produced some great results, including the introduction of the West Coast Fetish Ball and Sexopolis to their yearly event schedule. These popular events attracted guests from both the adult and fetish sides of the industry, including Michael Gross, Fetish Diva Midori, Masuimi Max, Kumi Monster, Emily Marylin, Sunny Lane, Seymore Butts, Kurt Lockwood, and Matt Zane.
Joy Hollywood Wholesale is an excellent distributor in their own right, but in 2007, they raised the bar by creating their own line of high-quality phthlate free toys called Erotic Embrace. Made exclusively in Japan with the best medical grade Elastomer, plating, and electronics, Erotic Embrace has set a new standard of affordable, high quality sex toys.
One of our best and longest lasting relationships, the introduction began when we were still working with SLLAB. While the company stopped production in November of 2007, Skye Blue still owns and runs Platinum Blue Productions. Skye Blue is currently shooting video productions for Playgirl TV, and plans on unveiling new membership sites under the Platinum Blue Productins banner and introducing a major relaunch of SkyeBlue.com.
SLLAB
Despite the fact the company stopped production in late 2006, this was too much of an adventure not to list. We were recruited by an eccentric rock star to promote his new adult production company. Black and Blue Media was charged with keeping The Rock God's name out of print, and his involvement in the company quiet. We will allow the mystery to continue here just for the fun of it. We succeeded admirably in keeping his name out of the adult press in association with SLLAB, simply because we have great relationships with our friends in the press. However, even that was only successful until he decided to put his name down as executive producer… for another company’s movie. At that point, it was silly to ask the press to not talk about his involvement in SLLAB. However, some people are still not convinced the two are connected.
SLLAB produced a great horror-porn, 'Frank Castle’s The New Neighbors'. Between a combination of constant media presence on the set, a unique reviewer kit and a lot of old fashioned publicity work, 'NN' recieved a lot of attention in both the mainstream horror and adult press. The movie garnered eight AVN nominations and won "Best Feature - Critic's Choice" in the Nightmoves Awards.
'Frank Castle’s The New Neighbors' was not the only movie SLLAB's owner was involved in as an investor/producer. 'NN' was preceeded by two other large scale productions planned for release after Castle's film hit the streets. One was ArchAngel's 'The Vampire Chronicles' trilogy, also a project that Black and Blue Media handled publicity on. 'The Vampire Chronicles' was produced by Dru Berrymore and directed by Jennifer James and Cass Paley. Another was 'Phantom of the Porn Set', directed by Jennifer James. After the success of 'NN', SLLAB was also asked by their distributor, New Beginnings, to produce four MILF genre movies and Frank Castle directed the four part 'Trophy Wives' series to fulfill the request. Black and Blue Media provided publicity for all of these movies, unfortunately SLLAB closed its doors before the unreleased titles ever streeted.
