I can't tell you how excited I am to have Julie Simone in Portland and to be able to produce promotional events for her,” says Darklady. “I've long admired her work as a model, director, producer, and performer—and now, I get to not only meet and watch her demonstrate her technique close up, but learn more about her photography and painting endeavors. Best of all, I get to introduce her to locals unfamiliar with her work while giving her fans three chances to meet and socialize with her. Oh! And to buy DVDs and paddles from her, of course.”

While she is in Portland, Julie will be available to photographers for video and still shoots, and she will also be booking domination sessions. For more info visit www.JuliesBitchBoys.com.
