Party With Sunny Leone

Vivid contract star Sunny Leone will throw a gala celebration this weekend, celebrating the revamp of her signature paysite
SunnyLeone.com. In development over the last eight months, the site features a new layout and updated look.
“All the content that’s on there is exclusive,” Leone told XFANZ. “I’m ready to take my site to the next level. The last eight months of my life have been nothing but upside-down chaos and life altering-changes, and now we’re buckling down and ready to take it to the next level.”
The starlet spoke of a rollercoaster ride of events in her personal and professional life, including increasing crossover success between adult and mainstream. But there have also been lows; the passing on Leone’s mother and also the break-up of a longtime relationship.
“There are just so many things in the last eight months that have happened — it’s not been an easy road at all, in my personal life,” she said. “I think anybody who knows me, knows that — a lot of webmasters know because I’m friendly with a lot of people on that side of the industry.
“Besides, the break up — dealing with my mother’s passing has been very difficult. I didn’t work for three months basically,” Leone explained. “I did basic things for the site. Everything still functioned properly and there were still updates, and everything was working — but now, this is me saying, ‘Look, I’m still here.’”
Aside from her popularity as a Vivid contract performer, Leone has established a name in her own right and a strong online presence is a necessary part of her self-branding. Fans that seek her out online recognize the personal touch that she brings to the site, according to Leone, which she managed by herself for many years. The investment in her online product, she said, also pays off for webmasters that promote the site.
The SunnyLeone.com relaunch party is scheduled to take place on July 5 from 1 p.m. – 3 a.m., at an undisclosed location [due to difficulties stemming from the party’s original location]. Leone said that it’s the first event that she’s hosted for the website and that she is very excited.
“The party is just a celebration of working so hard over the last few months — making sure that everything is right and perfect,” Leone said. “The party is just to have fun because we worked hard, and to say, ‘We worked hard — let’s have fun and have a good time and make money together.’”
Industry members and the public are invited, but must RSVP to (562) 325-3079 or eliteentgroup@hotmail.com in order to receive the location instructions.
