In a world consumed by pop culture and physical beauty, porn stars are pushing into the mainstream more and more. From appearances in music videos, posing on album covers to landing roles in television sitcoms, old stereotypes are harder to pin on actresses in today's adult film industry. Take Serenity for example: a former ballerina of nineteen years turned onscreen sex goddess and adult entertainment entrepreneur.

Serenity began attracting attention in 1993 in her very first adult video, an all-girl sex-fest called Jennifer Ate. The next year in her hometown of Las Vegas, this former ballerina, won the Topless Dancer World Championship. In 1995, she was asked to choreograph a premier awards show for the adult film industry. Next, Wicked Pictures signed her to an exclusive contract with their erotic video company. E! Television noticed her special charisma and hired her to host a one shot TV show entitled Sex on the Riviera. The episode was so popular with viewers, Serenity has since participated in over twenty E! Channel programs as well as made guest appearances on Comedy Central's The Man Show, Playboy TV's Nightcalls, and Fox Television's Action.

In addition to her acting career, Serenity tours strip clubs as a featured dancer, plays CEO for an adult toy company called Las Vegas Novelties, and publishes Déjà vu Showgirls Magazine. Not quite the antics you'd expect from your average video vixen, whether in front of the camera or behind the scenes. A few things she has to say might even surprise you!

Mainstream society tends to think that women in the adult film industry are often taken advantage of or manipulated in some manner. That clearly does not apply to you.

I really look out for my own interests. I know what I want and I know what I don't want. For the most part, women are pretty much in control in this industry because, without the women, there is no pornography. I decide which movies I want to shoot. I decide who I want to work with absolutely one hundred percent. If I don't like someone or if I just feel like not doing that person then that's it. With sex acts, there's certain things I will do and certain things I won't--anal, gangbang, things like that. I have a manufacturing company called Las Vegas Novelties. We have five different girls under contract, including myself, Heather Bankx, Angel Veil, and Jewel De'Nyle. We also just signed a guy, Lee Stone. All of our products are non-toxic, developed by a woman who got really frustrated one day and said "These people have, like, no clue on what feels good". I had each of my girls pick out their favorite color. So each girl has dildos in two different sizes with their favorite colors. We also have a small purple paddle that is not as intimidating as those big black leather paddles. It's more petite and very feminine. Jewel De'Nyle and myself also have pussy replicas. The thing that is unique about them is that they are made exactly the way you see us. I molded Jewel and then I had one of my employees mold me. We use Sensual Feel; a wonderful material that we developed. It feels the most life-like of any material out there; rigid but also holds up to use. Our pussy molds are made out of this. We're finally getting ready to ship out my feet replicas, molded so that you can see every little pore. The feet come with two orifices, which is kind of neat.
