Op-porn-tunity Knocks

Sleeping your way to the top has never been seen as a good business practice, but for 21-year-old Vivienne it is her ride to the high life. The gorgeous blonde is one of the adult entertainment industry's rising stars, and says she couldn't be happier with her career choice. "I have a lot more money than before and people know me;' says the porn queen. "I travel a lot and have a good life."

Vivienne is in New Zealand as a special guest of Private Media Group to promote her company's products at Erotica 2000, the adult concepts and lifestyle expo. The curvaceous European will also determine how sexy Kiwi women are as a judge at the Miss Erotica pageant.

"The industry is well respected in Europe," says Vivienne. "I think it is only thought sleazy in less forward countries. This is the 21 st century - they should catch up."

Vivienne became involved in the porn industry as a 19-year-old student after being approached by a talent scout. With more women in senior positions within the industry, she says, products are changing for the better. "They have helped change a lot of things;' she says, "especially making products more accessible to girls and couples rather than just boys."
