Wicked Pictures latest release: “Insatiable: Porn – a Love Story”
09.05.2014 | New York / Los Angeles, USA – For 2014, award-winning Wicked Girl and published author Asa Akira is expanding her horizons like never before. In addition to earning an Editor’s Choice for her Wicked Pictures contract debut “Asa Gets Wicked,” she’s celebrating the release of her new memoir “Insatiable: Porn – A Love Story” with high-profile media appearances, a Hustler Hollywood launch event and much more.
“When it rains, it pours, and lately it feels as though the opposite is true, too,” Asa enthuses. “This week started off with my Wicked Pictures debut receiving an AVN Editor’s Choice rating, an honor given to very few movies per year. I believe ‘Asa Gets Wicked’ directed by Brad Armstrong is the best movie I’ve made in my career thus far, so it makes me especially happy to see that others are enjoying it! 
“Additionally, this week saw the release of my first book, Insatiable, and I’m just amazed at all the attention it’s getting. When writing it, my goal was to show this industry in an honest, positive light, and so far it seems to be doing the job. I’ll be ending the week with a book signing at the Hustler store in Hollywood – which I am so excited and nervous for. I hope a lot of people can make it out to celebrate with me!”
Her current trip to New York has provided a perfect example of Asa’s industrious approach to career multitasking; the tireless superstar finished her role in blockbuster creator Brad Armstrong’s compelling romance-with-a-twist “Aftermath” before going on a press junket punctuated by appearances in such media outlets as Salon, Interview Magazine and an extended piece in the New York Post.
Turning to next week, May 15th will see Asa taking over Hustler Hollywood on the famed Sunset Strip 8:00 PM to formally celebrate her memoir’s release. She’ll be signing books available for purchase at the store, and getting up close and personal with her Southern California fans.
The first 25 people in line will receive a gift bag, and attendees will have chances to win special Wicked prizes. This signing is coming on the heels of such other events as her appearance today at the Hundreds in Manhattan. Branding itself as the “world’s first social merchandising company,” this innovative retail chain will also be bringing her to their San Francisco location on Saturday, May 17th.
In a world where porn has increasingly become part of the mainstream, there are still only few voices writing about it with thought and humor — especially from the inside. Writing with charisma and a keen sense of irony, Asa has something important to say about changing norms in women’s sexuality. While the industry is often criticized as objectifying women, the newest member of the Wicked family offers another view—that of a sexually liberated, smart young woman who falls in love every time she films a scene, not necessarily with her partner, but with the situation.
