Elle Chase Announced as Fourth Panelist for ‘Women in Porn’ Panel at XBIZ 360


HOLLYWOOD, Calif. [Press Release] – Mindbrowse.com has announced sex educator, writer and coach Elle Chase (AKA “Lady Cheeky”) as the fourth panelist for the upcoming “Women in Porn” discussion, which is to take place Wednesday, January 14 at the XBIZ 360 conference in Hollywood, California.

“Elle is the perfect addition to our already-impressive panel,” said Sssh.com owner Angie Rowntree, who produces all Mindbrowse.com events. “Elle’s open, sex- and body-positive approach has really resonated with people, as evidenced by her over 100,000 Tumblr followers and the large and loyal readership of her sex blogs.”

In her capacity as a sex educator and coach, Chase speaks and gives workshops across the country about all things sex. Chase also operates LadyCheeky.com, which she describes as a “curated, feminist, sex and body-positive, sexual/sensual images,” as well as SmutForSmarties.com, which received the Best Sex Blog award from the L.A. Weekly in 2013.

“I’m honored to be included in this panel attended and moderated by such accomplished and trailblazing professionals,” said Chase. “I’m looking forward to an intelligent, healthy and lively debate that informs and educates, as well as leaves space for everyone’s unique personal views.”

Chase is the final addition to the Women in Porn discussion panel, which also includes Penthouse Managing Director Kelly Holland, author/attorney Frederick Lane and award-winning director/performer Courtney Trouble. As in previous Women in Porn events, sociologist Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals will moderate the session.

During the discussion, the panel will be assisted by “celebrity tweeters” who will encourage viewers to tweet their questions and observations for the panel to address. The identity of the celebrity tweeters will be revealed sometime in early January, Rowntree said, “to leave a little suspense in the air.”

“Each of our previous Women in Porn discussions has been excellent, with an energetic conversation with and highly engaged audience,” Rowntree said. “I think having a live audience in the same room with the panel will heighten the experience for all involved even further, as being together physically should result in a more intimate feel than we’ve had in the online debates.”

DailyBeast Features ‘Porn’s Behind-the-Camera Feminist’ Kelly Holland

LOS ANGELES, CA/March 31, 2014 … The Daily Beast has featured Kelly Holland as part of an increasing number of women combating the stigma attached to females in the adult industry. As one of the most influential women in the business, Holland attempts to tackle the misconception that porn is degrading to women and other notions based on the outdated blueprint of the "good girl."

“Holland is one of the most powerful women in the entertainment industry — adult or otherwise,” Daily Beast reporter Emily Shire wrote. “She and a few other women working behind the scenes of the porn industry as writers, directors and entrepreneurs are combating the stereotype that the only place for a woman in porn is in front of the camera servicing men.”

Holland was previously working as a mainstream documentarian before being offered the opportunity to direct an adult feature. She found working outside conventional rules of filmmaking both an educational and eye-opening experience.

“I began to realize that these women—whether they articulated or not—really exemplified for me the essence of modern day feminism, which is, ‘My body my rules,’” Kelly Holland, Managing Director of Penthouse Entertainment said. “Not my dad’s, not my husband’s, not my mullah’s, not my rabbi’s, not my priest’s, and frankly, not my girlfriends’.”


Holland is part of the growing number of women in the adult biz that prove that whether a woman chooses to be in front or behind the camera, her choice can be empowering and liberating.

Kelly Holland started her film career in the late 1980’s as a documentarian in the war zones of Central America.In the mid 1990’s, Kelly began directing adult features under the name "Toni English," where she worked with Vivid Entertainment under an exclusive contract for the next seven years.   In 2004, as the Executive Producer for the newly launched Playgirl TV, she developed the channel’s look and feel, overseeing all of the channel’s content as well as representing women’s erotica as the Company’s international spokesperson.

In 2006 Kelly left Playgirl to help launch Penthouse TV where she created the look and feel of the platform as well as directed and produced the majority of its content for the first two years.

In 2008 Kelly became the Managing Director of Penthouse Entertainment and now oversees Broadcast, Licensing, Clubs and the Magazine division.  Today, Penthouse Entertainment has 11 distinct channels, is live in over 72 countries and available on over 40 platforms reaching more than 300 million households.  The linear channels include Penthouse HD; Penthouse 3D; the first all black channel,  Penthouse Black; and the first live interactive channel to be launched in Europe, Penthouse Live TV.

When she’s not busy working with Penthouse Pets, Kelly is actively engaged with other pets through The Animal Rescue Alliance, a non-profit rescue and farm sanctuary she founded.
