HOLLYWOOD, FL — While it may be true that we hate to see our friends succeed, it’s also true that we love to hear about early career success. Ironic, but seemingly a part of human nature. Vivid contract star Sunny Leone’s erotic roots are sunk deep in the internet — and even though she’s crossed over into the world of DVD flesh, the Web world still loves her. After gracing the cover of YNOT’s Cybernet Expo program guide, the gorgeous brunette’s face will add value not only to the August cover of AVN Online – which delves into how an internet model can become a star – but will accompany her whole body to this summer’s Internext, as well.

Those attending this year’s steamy Florida event will have an opportunity not only to bask in Leone’s beauty but take home her autograph during a special signing event to take place at the Westin Diplomat’s Atlantic Ballroom on Thursday, August 7th from 5:00 – 8:00 pm.

The signing will be part of a new summer Internext event and is being billed as the first in an annual series of Mix and Meet Market social opportunities. This year’s three hour networking event already has 60 exhibitors.

“To be on the cover of AVN Online’s Internext show issue is amazing,” Leone effused in a press release. “The Florida show is one of my favorites because I get to see all the webmasters and do business with people that I have never met before. I am looking forward to another fantastic year!”

AVN Online loves Sunny Leone just as much as she loves it, as publisher MJ McMahon makes clear when he says that “We couldn’t think of a better representative to be the focal point of our first Mix and Meet Market, which will definitely kick off Internext in style. We’re proud to have Sunny Leone signing at the show and as our August cover girl”

Today is the last day to pre-register for summer Internext, although regular registration can be done via the www.Internext-Expo.com site beginning August 7th.
