EDITORIAL NOTE
Welcome to our June issue of Portfolio. We have several hot surprises for you lucky horny souls. To start with is our cover dancer, Yummi, and boy, does she ever live up to her name. She was first seen in our December club shoot at the Paradise by the pool in Newark N.J. & on the stripper boat in our February issue. We decided it was time to give her her own layout, and have her looking fit for a king seated upon her throne. If any of you wish to write to this foxy lady, her fan club is listed at the end of her interview. Next up is Dream, another dancer I met awhile back, who ventured to the West coast, to become an Adult Video star. After a few videos, she left the business, at least for now. You can find out why in our in-depth interview by Rodney Dickerson on page 40. As in our previous interviews with Jordan McKnight & Champagne, Dream gives you the real lowdown on the XXX industry's dealings with its African-American stars. We also have words with that insatiable sex fiend, Fonda French, who also speaks out on the double standards in Porndom.
Needless to say, the Industry still has a long way to go in fair and equal treatment of its Black performers. They work just as hard as their white counterparts and deserve the same rewards. We continue with our Peep fantasy series the Stroke Zone, with Brandi, who was last seen at the Golden Lady club in our October issue, boning the boss to get up the corporate ladder. And if that wasn't enough, you can also whack off to Honey, Trini, Paradise & her friend Fantasia. Enjoy!
