A Porn Star Book Is Selling with a Bespoke Twist<\/h1>\n

A new limited-edition book by an adult film star aims to sell copies by offering buyers something they won\u2019t find elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Girlvert: A Porno Memoir<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is priced at a whopping $200 and limited to a mere 50.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the twist?<\/p>\n

Each book jacket contains one of the starlet\u2019s pubic hairs.<\/p>\n

[P]orn star Oriana Small, whose stage name is\u00a0Ashley Blue<\/a>, and her\u00a0publisher<\/a>\u00a0are exploring what the literary-minded and sexually curious will pay for when it comes to art books.<\/p>\n

Girlvert<\/em>\u00a0is Small\u2019s autobiography of her decade-long career in the porn trade. Small, as Blue, is a widely-known performer. She is famous for her extreme sexual performances and for starring in an adult video series entitled \u201cGirlvert.\u201d The book is her story of what happened on stage and off, from her personal struggles to performing for the cameras to finding love.<\/p>\n

Blue joins a new literary niche: porn star authors. Porn star-turned-\u201dEntourage\u201d guest star Sasha Grey, who scored the lead role in Steven Soderbergh\u2019s \u201cThe Girlfriend Experience,\u201d recently released\u00a0Neu Sex<\/em><\/a>, a book of erotic photos. Jenna Jameson\u2019s\u00a0How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale<\/em><\/a>, co-written with Neil Strauss, spent several weeks on the\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0bestseller list and continues to sell.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0Girlvert<\/em>\u00a0has scored a nod from another controversial author,\u00a0James Frey<\/a>. \u201cOriana Small has pushed herself to the outermost extremes of what the body and mind are capable of \u2014 all before turning thirty years old \u2014 and now she\u2019s made it an authentic read for the rest of us to marvel at, elevating the depravity and denial inherent in the pornographic arts to a singular literary experience,\u201d Frey\u2019s blurb for the book reads.<\/p>\n
