from www.lasvegasweekly.com – Blond bombshell Jessica Drake was the hit of the recent Adult Entertainment Expo/Adult Video News at Sands Expo Center at The Venetian because she had everybody seeing double.
That’s because Jessica traveled to Las Vegas with a look-alike life-sized doll that she’s promoting as the newest addition of her adult products. It’s not a Madame Tussauds $300,000 wax figure, but it’s just as realistic. I fact, when you consider the private parts, it’s even more true to life.
Jessica and her blond double caused quite a stir, but the adult entertainer was more concerned about what’s facing her industry in 2011.
She told me: “It all looks a little bit smaller this year, but we got off to a good start. However, we’ve got to ramp stuff up as far as content distribution is concerned because the industry is changing so fast. If we’re going to survive, we have to change things.”
Since Jessica, who is one of the Wicked vixens, used the word “survive,” I asked her if danger was looming.
“I think the whole industry is in jeopardy. It’s just like what happened with the music industry. Piracy is a huge problem with us, but I think that people still really want to hold out for quality adult products, which is why even though a lot of the gonzo companies have gone under, the do-it-yourself companies, the bigger ones are still around. We’re still here! We still have all of our girls, and we’re still making really quality movies.
“I still love performing, I’m still really into it. I star in seven movies a year, I direct five. I love it all — with all my heart! One of my movies won a lot of nominations this year. Three Days in June was nominated for Best Feature, Best Screenplay, Best Actress/Actor. And I wrote, directed, performed and starred in it — did everything myself. I was building sets the day before we shot the movie.
“Really, I did everything on that movie! It drove me crazy. But it was a really great experience, and AVN really loved it. Getting an award or two makes me really happy. I also just started a new line of instructional DVDs for Wicked, and I host a radio show on Playboy Radio. I teach sex seminars all over the place, so I am very busy in this business.
“Safety today is more important than in the past. Wicked has always been the only company in the adult industry that’s 100 percent condom only. We are still condom only — we will always be condom only. I built a whole career around it, so it can be done. I think it’s extremely important, and our industry should really reflect and develop a stronger support system for when we are attacked by people who don’t know the facts.
“There are those who attack our industry just spreading lies. The adult industry has to push people to the forefront to stand up for us; otherwise, people are just going to continue to believe the lies. We need to be more unified.”
Then Jessica proudly showed off her new Wicked doll, where everything — and I mean everything! — is anatomically correct.
“The computer scanned me every which way. I stood for about 30 minutes in a circular machine with the scanning of my body repeatedly up and down like the Star Trek machine. I had to be really still and not even breathe.
“Then they molded my hands, my feet and my other parts. I had to pull up the hair on the top of my head so they could do the face separately and get all the dimensions perfect. Everything about the doll is exactly the same as me, complete with the exact measurements. There’s a lot of me, and it’s all there. Everything is perfectly correct — they made another me,” she laughed.
“It’s the perfect woman — doesn’t answer back. She’s not going to argue or talk back and never has a headache. If you want to, you can shop for her, but if you don’t, she won’t get mad. You don’t have to feed her or remember anniversaries or birthdays!”
“I checked myself out during every stage of making the doll. The doll didn’t go to final production until I gave it my OK. It was eerie when I saw her for the first time. I circled her, really checking it all out. It has my butt dimples and even has veins just like those on my arms and everything.
“Call it the triple X version of what they do at Madame Tussauds! The introductory special price is about $7,000, and I’m getting e-mails from people who are ordering my dolls from all around the world.
“I really liked the way she turned out. She’s awesome. They even got the color of my eyes. I’m actually getting one for myself. She’ll ride with me so I can use the high-passenger occupancy lanes! It’s like seeing twins. But I want to keep her, so I always know one day what I used to look like! Seriously, though, if I have a hangover, I can send her out to sign autographs for me.
“There could even be a new sex movie with all the dolls. Like Gremlins! They could all come to life after midnight and take over the adult movie business.”
