Zazel: The Scent of Love's Gina LaMarca
Penthouse Pets were strikingly beautiful and Gina LaMarca was no exception. The voluptuous beauty is half Italian half American. LaMarca was born on in 1969 in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The brown-eyed and red-haired beauty oozed sexuality and became the Penthouse Pet of May 1993. Gina was tlater named the Penthouse Pet of the Year 1995. She went on to appear in several Penthouse videos and made the transition from adult magazine model to art house adult film actress in the mid 1990s. LaMarca was renowned for her dynamic style and highly distinctive V-shaped triangle of pubic hair which was featured in master erotic photographer Philip Mond's cult classic soft core film Zazel: The Scent of Love. Zazel won seven AVN awards, and is perhaps the most beautiful erotic film ever made. If porn was ever art, it was Zazel that set the bar.

Wall Street Sex Kitten Paige Jennings
Paige Jennings left the finance world of Wall Street because she would rather take it up the ass as a porn star instead of a low-paid intern. Frustrated by the high work volume, Paige Jennings left Wall Street to carve a more lucrative career as erotic sensation, Veronica Vain. After handing in her two-week notice, she went to the bathroom and took a couple of sizzling selfies. After they leaked to her coworkers, her boss told her it was time to go home for good. Despite the abrupt end to her job, Jennings has no regrets. In fact, under the name Veronica Vain, she plans to make a career out of her hobby of getting naked. Vain makes no apologies for her career departure, and in her Twitter bio she stated, "I just left a job on Wall Street for a porn career because I can’t stop masturbating at work and have an affinity for jizz showers. Is that cool with you?." The truth is as she told the press, "Every time you’d walk down the aisle, it was eyes on me," she further said. "You know how it is when you’re a woman in business and you’re in a tight pencil skirt. You could definitely feel men’s eyes. You know when men are watching you." The Florida University graduate claimed that when the questionable selfies surfaced, she was not terminated and left her position willingly.

Analog Photographer Kid Richards
Since the beginning of time, or at least the dawn of the daguerreotype, one subject has captivated artists of all mediums and movements alike with its beauty, intrigue, and mystique. It is the female form, and for many, there is nothing more beautiful than a naked woman. Erotic photography has captivated artists, theoreticians, and consumers for over 150 years. Prior to 1839, nude renderings were namely produced via drawings, paintings, and engravings, all of which lacked the detail and veracity of the photograph. Thus, there was something inherently more illicit about an erotic photograph than a painting of the same subject, for they were considered closer to real life. Kid Richards is inspired by the same subject matter and his photographs are unique in not only their genre, but also by the film he uses, which has an underlying tone of romance. Much like Bob Guccione and the other masters that came before him, Kid Richards embraces the beauty of the female form.
