Who are these mysterious "Professional Reviewers" you keep talking about?
Yes, we actually do employ full-time, college educated reviewers to filter through the hundreds of DVDs that arrive in our office every day! It's a tough job, but our team is more than up to the challenge!
Our Reviewers*:
Alyssa Arthur has a Masters degree in English Literature from a prestigious Ivy League university that is positively scandalized at how she’s putting her skills and expensive education to work. She has a BA in Women’s Studies from an equally prestigious school in the Deep South that is, ironically, far more supportive of her trade (or at least wants her alumni donations more). She has been a reviewer and commentator on erotica for over 10 years, and is currently working on her forthcoming book, What Lights Our Candle: Gender-Based Disparities In American Erotica. Alyssa favors reviewing XXX Features and Porn Parodies for VideoGold, but doesn’t shy away from a good bit of gonzo.
Ian Ironwood has a BA in Religious Studies and a MFA in Creative Writing, and has been a VideoGold Reviewer since he replaced the late venerable Jack Summerstorm in early 2004 when the latter got a juicy book deal. Ian has previously published (under his "real" name) a New York Times Best-Selling novel, several other books, numerous articles under a variety of pseudonyms, and recently under exclusive contract from Adam & Eve The Gentleman’s Guide To Picking Up Women. Ian prefers reviewing harder-edged gonzo videos, but likes the occasional Feature if the boobs are big enough. He's also a dedicated blogger. You can find his blog by clicking on the following link: The Sex Nerd.
Guest Reviewers: From time to time, VideoGold will have special guest reviewers who are familiar with a particular niche, a particular star, or a particular trend.
