Steele Ends Year with a Bang: BLACK DIAMONDS: The Official XXX Magazine of Lexington Steele Hits Newsstands, Mercenary Pictures Lands 7 AVN Noms
Steele worked with Blue Horizons, the publisher of High Society, Celebrity Skin and Playgirl, to create BLACK DIAMONDS: The Official XXX Magazine of Lexington Steele to target the black ethnic adult market.
The first issue features an editor's letter from Steele, movie reviews and interviews with Aryanna Starr, who discusses directing her upcoming title for Elegant Angel, and Mr. Marcus, who talks about his first book, "A Porn Star's Guide to Great Sex." Starr and Pinky are featured in the magazine's pictorials.
"I've always been committed to presenting ethnic women and ethnic adult entertainment in the best and most positive light," Steele said. "This is an industry that has traditionally short changed and ignored the ethnic market and fans of ethnic porn. With BLACK DIAMONDS hitting news stands, I'm very pleased to bring a high quality product to the market that fans of black women will enjoy."
Steele's attention to the ethnic market is also reflected in Mercenary Pictures' recent AVN Award nominations for Best Ethnic-Themed Release Ğ Black ("Black Reign 16") and Best Ethnic-Themed Release Ğ Latin ("Brazilian Blonde Assfuckers" and "Lex Steele XXX 12: All Latina Edition"). His scene with Jada Fire in "Nightstick: Black POV 6" is also up for Best POV Sex Scene and the title is in the running for Best POV Release.
Mercenary Pictures' interracial efforts have also been recognized with nods in the Best Interracial Release ("ManHammer 9") and Best Interracial Series ("Lex on Blondes") categories.
Steele added, "As the owner of Mercenary Pictures, creating high quality gonzo movies has always been our focus and the production of the industry's best ethnic movies has been our goal since I started the company. I'm pleased with these nominations and look forward to celebrating with everyone at the AVN Awards."
Pages in "Black Diamonds" are still available for producers, studios and distributors looking to connect with an ethnic consumer audience. For more information, contact Steele at MercenaryPictures at gmail.

Performer of the Year, multiple Hall of Famer and entrepreneur
Lexington Steele enters the publishing business with "BLACK DIAMONDS:
The Official XXX Magazine of Lexington Steele," an all-new consumer
magazine dedicated to all-black ethnic adult entertainment.
"Magazine publisher Blue Horizons contacted me about working with them
to publish a hardcore, black-on-black magazine," Steele said. "They
felt the quality and branding I have established would provide a
viable platform to launch a new publication, adding to their most
popular periodicals, 'High Society,' 'Celebrity Skin,' and 'Playgirl.'
'BLACK DIAMONDS' covers a genre and market they wanted to enter. I
have always shown ethnic women in a positive light and this is an
opportunity to continue to do so."
"BLACK DIAMONDS" will feature an Editor's Page, Ask Lex Anything (a
question-and-answer column), talent and producer interviews, and movie
reviews penned by adult video critics on the East and West Coasts.
Five black-on-black photosets from Mercenary Pictures' award winning

The publisher plans to launch the first issue of the quarterly
magazine on Dec. 21. Interviews with Nyomi Banxxx, Gianna Taylor (aka
Stilts), Brian Pumper, Mr. Marcus, Aryana Starr, Alex Devoe and West
Coast Productions' Terry Burton will be included in the first issue.
Nyomi Banxxx — the magazine's first cover girl — Aryana Starr, Jada
Fire, Pinky and Roxy Reynolds will also be featured in its pictorials.
"Fans of all-black adult entertainment have always had a difficult
time finding quality hardcore, whether its videos, websites or
magazines," Steele said. "My goal with 'BLACK DIAMONDS' is to deliver
a high quality black-on-black magazine fans will enjoy and fill a
niche that's been underserved for a very long time. 'BLACK DIAMONDS'
will also be a venue to let ethnic stars and producers let their fans
know what they're doing and what their latest projects are."
Pages in "BLACK DIAMONDS" are available for producers, studios and
distributors looking to connect with an ethnic consumer audience.
Studios and talent may submit photo sets for consideration.
Lexington Steele Handles Joslyn James for the First Time in 'Tiger
Tamer 2: Joslyn James Loves Lexington Steele'
CANOGA PARK, Calif. — Mercenary Pictures brings Joslyn James — one of
adult's most notorious performers and mistress to the stars — for a
second go-around in "Tiger Tamer 2: Joslyn James Loves Lexington
Steele."
Slated for release on Oct. 28, "Tiger Tamer 2: Joslyn James Loves
Lexington Steele" features James, who's connected to pro golfer Tiger
Woods' string of extramarital affairs, in her second scene for the
company and her first with owner and three-time AVN Male Performer of
the Year Lexington Steele. The title also features Velicity Von,
Aryana Star and Nyomi Banxxx in boy/girl scenes with Steele.
"The energy and passion Joslyn brought to her scene was amazing,"
Steele said. "She was up for anything and could take as much as I
could give — in fact, I think she could have handled more. I can see
how she would be able to tempt and seduce a pro athlete at the top of
his game. This match-up is something I know the guys and girls at home
want to see."
James also engages in a heavy anal coupling with Steele in "Tiger
Tamer 2: Joslyn James Loves Lexington Steele," as does Banxxx in her
respective scene. Steele said James and Banxxx are performers who have
a do-anything attitude. The hardcore anal scenes are well within what
they were capable of and what the fans expect from performers of this
caliber.
Steele added that casting Mercenary's movies with performers the fans
demand is a priority with the company.
"It's rare that we feature someone who's been in the spotlight as much
as Joslyn," Steele said. "But I knew we had to shoot her and the scene
was important enough to launch a series around the footage we have of
her. Putting together top notch performers is something we do in every
movie we produce and in the case of 'Tiger Tamer 2: Joslyn James Loves
Lexington Steele,' we have someone that could bring the sexual beast
out of a docile golfer."
"Tiger Tamer 2: Joslyn James Loves Lexington Steele" will be released
on Oct. 28.
