The Sunrise Also Rises

Apparently, Vivid Girl Sunrise Adams was on hiatus for three years without telling us. Even though the last time we physically laid eyes on her was on the plane home from the AVN show in 2003, we thought that just the presence of her Vivid Girl manuscript, "Lust Ranch", meant that she was still around, sure to pop up in a group photo with all 72 other Vivid Girls.

But Adams was in fact away, weathering the vicissitudes of the real estate game, "Glengarry Glen Ross" style. Read more about Adams' triumphant return to the porn fold after the gap. - GP

"Buying a house is usually the biggest purchase in someone's life and as an agent, you absorb too much of the pressure," Adams said, looking forward to an absorption of another kind. "I want to go back to having fun." Adams will begin shooting movies again for Vivid next month.

Adams was swept into the porn whirlwind when her aunt, former Moonlite Bunnyranch madam Sunset Thomas, convinced her that life in tiny Pickton, TX would not allow her to meet members of the adult industry media.

After going the standard route of appearing in a "Dirty Debutantes" movie with Ed Powers (both she and new Digital Playground contract girl Shay J describe that May-November experience as regrettable), Adams became a Vivid Girl in 2002. Following several movies, she broke her ten-year contract and became a real estate agent in Fort Worth.

We can only wonder about the motives of our dear adult stars, why they have boob jobs, why they leave the industry, and why they come back. One thing is certain: property values in Fort Worth will probably go down again.
