EDITOR’S
NOTE
Many powerful women in adult began as performers, parlaying
stardom into start-ups where they could call the shots. But Joanna
Angel was always the boss. At BurningAngel.com, she launched
not only a company but also a new genre. After selling to Gamma,
Angel powered up as a performer and joined the Spiegler Girls
roster, while at the same time directing some of her best work ever.
... Doing your own thing is a big theme in the industry now. Case in
point in this issue: Naughty Aubree, whose sassy attitude and dan-
gerous curves have given her success on AVN Stars, a new plat-
form for performers. ... Also featured is veteran performer Charlotte
Stokely, just now starting her own business. AVN’s reigning All-Girl
Performer of the Year wants to be “the Oprah of porn,” helping
performers build successful careers without losing sight of “joy,
creativity, environment, mental health and spiritual health.” And
that’s a worthy goal for anyone—inside or out of the adult industry.
