The San Fernando Valley might be known throughout the world as the home of hardcore porn, but it seems a new challenger has appeared – and it’s only a short jump across LA County. Orange County, home to the Crystal Cathedral, UC Irvine’s huge student population, Disneyland, Gwen Stefani, and that TV show everyone would like to forget, is also the birthplace of many of adult entertainment’s most highly lauded performers: Jenna Haze, Tasha Reign, and Eva Angelina, to name a few.
In its current issue, the annual Sex Issue, OC Weekly has ranked the 20 most accomplished Orange County-based “entreporneurs” from yesterday and today, and editors even allowed the former Laguna Beach star Tasha Reign to grace the publication’s cover.
From Huntington Beach harlots Eva Angelina, Candy Apples, and Jenna Jameson to well-equipped OC residents Peter North, Billy Glide, and Michael Brandon to the most infamous crossover pornstar of the last ten years, Nadya “Octomom” Suleman, it seems Orange County isn’t as conservative and God-fearing as many of its residents would like to pretend it is.
The annual Sex Issue of OC Weekly is freely available throughout Orange County now and ‘America’s Porn Paradise’ can now be read (and ogled) in full online. Still, nothing beats a free bathroom poster of the OC porn industry’s proudest offpsring, writer/director/producer/performer/TV star/Penthouse Pet/UCLA student, Tasha Reign, right?
