Source: Press Release
CANOGA PARK, Calif. —
Mercenary
Pictures owner, three time AVN Male Performer of the Year,
multiple Hall of Famer and entrepreneur Lexington Steele enters
the publishing business with "BLACK DIAMONDS: The Official XXX
Magazine of Lexington Steele," an all-new consumer magazine
dedicated to all-black ethnic adult entertainment.
"Magazine publisher Blue Horizons contacted me
about working with them to publish a hardcore, black-on-black
magazine," Steele said. "They felt the quality and branding I
have established would provide a viable platform to launch a new
publication, adding to their most
popular periodicals, 'High Society,' 'Celebrity
Skin,' and 'Playgirl.' 'BLACK DIAMONDS' covers a genre and
market they wanted to enter. I have always shown ethnic women in
a positive light and this is an opportunity to continue to do
so."
"BLACK DIAMONDS" will feature an Editor's Page,
Ask Lex Anything (a question-and-answer column), talent and
producer interviews, and movie reviews penned by adult video
critics on the East and West Coasts. Five black-on-black
photosets from Mercenary Pictures' award winning
"Ebony XXX," "Black Reign," "Black Moon Risin'"
and "Lex Steele XXX" will be found regularly in the magazine.
The publisher plans to launch the first issue of
the quarterly magazine on Dec. 21. Interviews with Nyomi Banxxx,
Gianna Taylor (aka Stilts), Brian Pumper, Mr. Marcus, Aryana
Starr, Alex Devoe and West Coast Productions' Terry Burton will
be included in the first issue.
Nyomi Banxxx — the magazine's first cover girl —
Aryana Starr, Jada Fire, Pinky and Roxy Reynolds will also be
featured in its pictorials.
"Fans of all-black adult entertainment have
always had a difficult time finding quality hardcore, whether
its videos, websites or magazines," Steele said. "My goal with
'BLACK DIAMONDS' is to deliver a high quality black-on-black
magazine fans will enjoy and fill a niche that's been
underserved for a very long time. 'BLACK DIAMONDS' will also be
a venue to let ethnic stars and producers let their fans know
what they're doing and what their latest projects are."
Pages in "BLACK
DIAMONDS" are available for producers, studios and distributors
looking to connect with an ethnic consumer audience. Studios and
talent may submit photo sets for consideration.
