SB Books' Ventura, CA Store, Three Star Books & News Wins Second Place for Creative Window Display

Three Star Books & News in Ventura, California captured second prize in Digital Playground's Pirates Store Display Contest.

Digital Playground, which produces full-length adult videos, began the contest as a means to promote their highly anticipated and big-budgeted special effects adult thriller, "Pirates." SB Books President, Donovan Green, is "thrilled" to have placed second - a $5,000 cash prize - in a field of over twenty entries nationwide with over 10,000 votes cast from Digital Playground's website. "I'm thrilled for our employees who created the window display," said Green. "To my mind, the entire point of the display contest is to bring people into the store from the sidewalk to buy the movie and our display is the only entry that does that."

The contest, which began on June 5 and ended at midnight on July 31st, was decided by visitors from Digital Playground's website and were independently verified. The contest served to promote "Pirates", a film Digital Playground describes as "The Biggest Epic in the History of Adult Films."

"We could have built a huge display in our store, but that pretty much defeats the purpose. Of course people are going to buy a movie with the kind of star power "Pirates" has," added Green. "It goes beyond the cash prize. I'm just really proud of my employees who created the display. It was very creative, effective and I'm glad that they got some well-deserved recognition for their efforts."

Gina Lynn has found success in both adult and mainstream entertainment markets, appearing in the feature film "Analyze That" with Robert DeNiro and Bill Chrystal as well as a having a lead role in Eminem's music video "Superman." Lynn has also showed up on on the small screen in The Sopranos and Third Watch.

"SB Books is dedicated to the model of clean and classy adult retail stores and we plan to expand greatly this year, " said Green. "I think it's a great idea to bring out a star of Gina Lynn's stature to meet fans. It's good for our customers, good for Gina and good for S.B. Books."

"It was a huge success," said Donovan Green, President of S.B. Books, Inc., the corporation which operates the adult bookstore chain. "We had a large turnout, Misty was very personable with her fans, she signed autographs and took pictures with customers," added Green.

Moreover, the event was an opportunity to show new customers the concept of an adult and novelty "superstore," according to Green.

"The idea that adult entertainment book stores have to be dirty and dark is now out the door," Green said. "We're very proud of this store and hope that it begins to set the standard of what stores in our industry should offer: cleanliness, lots of interesting merchandise, friendly clerks and a fun place to browse and shop."

Mike Mlyneck, the manager of the Tennessee Street store, agreed. "With so many communities fighting off these types of stores, setting up a clean and classy adult book and novelty store is the best way to disarm those in the community who have the wrong idea of what this industry is about," he said. "We're proud of this store and the Misty Rain event attracted many people who understand better the 'clean and classy' superstore alternative."
