Stevi Secret

Stevi Secret began as a person with another name and another set of attitudes. She was an average girl next door, who had done work as a waitress, a maid and even a dishwasher. She loved to dream of rich, handsome men in romantic situations and had absolutely no interest in women or fetishes. The thought of being in an adult film or stripping for a photographer never crossed her narrow little mind.
That is, until she took a short trip to Los Angeles with a male friend. Stevi and her date were doing the normal LA tourism rounds, when an advertisement for couples caught their attention. Stevi was feeling a bit daring, so the two arranged for an appointment. Much to the surprise of her friend (and Stevi), the couple made their first adult video! It was shot by a funny little man (who kept joking about his little dick), whom Stevi had never heard of before. His name was Ed Powers.
Stevi liked what she did (being so daring and all). Now, there was no stopping her. She made several more trips to LA for videos and photo sessions, and she learned there was a lot more to sex than just lying down and spreading her legs! Stevi found that oral sex could be enjoyable to both parties, that different positions made sex not only more interesting, but also more erotic, and most importantly Stevi learned that men were absolutely correct: sex with women is really hot! She also met a lot of interesting people and made lots of new friends. One was a man named Bobby Hollander, who told her she could go home to Las Vegas, shoot her own videos and bring the footage back to him. She shot many videos for all the big amateur lines including many for Bobby Hollander's award winning Mr. Peeper's line. She even began to hire other models to perform in front of the camera!
But Stevi was not satisfied with working for other companies, and she wanted to do things her own way. She began shooting videos for herself, naming her new production company Stevi's Secrets. Stevi's idea at the time was not only to shoot XXX, but also fetishes and tease, all to be sold mail order. She began to accumulate a very unique product line with everything from pantyhose to robots to anal to balloons to female ejaculation to messy to well...you name it! Her offbeat style caught the eye of Leg Show magazine editor, Diane Hanson, who featured Stevi and her unique videos in an early 1993 publication. Other magazines came calling to write articles or review her materials. Her business was booming!
Because she had made her name by taking the road less traveled, in 1994 she made another bold decision, contacting the editors of Shaved magazine and offering to do a photo layout where she shaved her entire body on camera, including her head! Astutely, she had the entire event videotaped, creating yet another fetish film hit. The pictures so thrilled the editor of Shaved that they offered her a regular column in the magazine. Stevi proved to be such a good writer that soon she was writing different material for a variety of publications including Shaved, Small Tops, Leg Tease, Video Xcitement and Naughty Neighbors.
In 1995, the cold reality of being in the adult business came when the Las Vegas police knocked on her door armed with search warrants. The police alleged that shooting adult videos was illegal. Her entire video company -- all films, model releases, identification, customer records, etc. were seized, and her photographer who had actually interviewed two potential models (who turned out to be police officers) was charged with pandering. Knowing they were in the right, Stevi, with the help of ACLU attorney Alan Lichtenstein, took their case to federal court, challenging the police seizure. After some extremely difficult legal proceedings, the judge ruled that the city was wrong and they must immediately return all her materials to her! The pandering charges were also dropped. This case was a landmark in Nevada law, essentially legalizing the production of adult materials in Las Vegas!
Always looking for a new challenge, Stevi began to do feature dance appearances. The first club she worked at was Showgirl Video in Las Vegas who billed her as the "Queen Of Amateur". She worked at several clubs around the country, becoming a regular feature at Wild J's (Las Vegas), The Palomino (Las Vegas) and the Market Street Cinema (San Francisco). The stripping bug bit her good, so much so that she decided to take the money she had saved and buy her own club. In 1999 she bought Mr. Tease in Phoenix, Arizona, and completely remodeled it and began a year-long fight with the local government. In October 2000, she opened Stevi Secret's Nude Cabaret & Adult Store (3420 S. Central Ave, Phoenix 602-305-8365)!
There is always something new and exciting going on with Stevi Secret. One might think with all her accomplishments she might be content (over 200 adult videos, over 200 magazine columns, over 50 magazine features and layouts, successful direct order video business, plus ownership of a strip club) to sit on her laurels. Looking for a new challenge in May 2001, she decided on a limited basis to shoot some videos of a more professional nature for other producers. After ten years in the business, Stevi landed one of the starring roles in Arrow's feature film Cum Under My Spell 2, doing hot scenes with Ian Daniels and Cassandra Lear. Future projects include some more professional shoots (when the mood hits her), bringing her Stevi's Secrets videos to DVD and more national distribution, maybe another club or two. Quite a story...and best of all, it isn't done yet!
