Anybody knows who shot the boxcover for Julia Ann's new vehicle ? This is the best boxcover I've ever seen. It looks like Ellen Von Unwerth. Maybe Lee Carver can help.

Wicked has used a couple of new photographers the last few sets I was on but I don't know if their boxcover guy has changed. I will try to find out and get back to you.

Hello Vodka and Lee!

We're sincerely glad you liked the boxcover for Housewives so much. For the past year, we've been working with the photographers of DeanKeefer.Com, who collaborate with Wicked Pictures' award-winning design team comprised of Brad Willis, Lyle Sinkewich, Jim Kehl, and Sam Contreras. They've continue to top themselves from month to month with such unique packages as Eye Of The Beholder (the industry's first fully lenticular cover for both VHS and DVD) and The Collector (a beautiful shadow DVD sleeve).

Again, thank you for the kind words, as the comparison to Ellen Von Unwerth is very high praise indeed.

Sincerely,
Daniel Metcalf
Wicked Pictures

Hmm. Can someone explain what a "shadow DVD sleeve" is? Since I rent online instead of in brick-and-mortar stores, I never see box covers until I buy. Just curious.

My neighborhood is one of the last in NYC that has a high concentration of porn shops. They've always got good looking Wicked posters in their windows.

Hi ObiBong,

No problem, I should have been clearer in my post. It's a three-dimensional shadowbox DVD sleeve. Basically the front hss clear panels so you can see illustrations and photos printed inside the box. I can't say with absolute certainty that it's an industry first, but I don't believe I've seen a sleeve quite like it before.

Thanks again for your interest in us.

Daniel,

I know this is off topic a bit, but while we're commending Wicked on the fine boxtop artwork, I think we should also take a second and recognize the great product found inside the box. I've been a Wicked fan for years and am very loyal to the brand. Girls float in and out of the industry so sometimes it's very difficult to find a girl who has the longevity of a studio. I know what I like in girls, and I also know what I like in my porn. When I buy Wicked I know exactly what I'm getting, and I also know the quality of the talent is extremely high. I always look forward to seeing the new product being offered from Wicked, and I can't wait to see what's in the pipeline.

Like eyeman, I've yet to be disappointed in the actual movie contents when it comes to any of the Wicked releases I've bought.
So far the women have been gorgeous and the sex great. And the non-sex parts (acting, costumes, sets) have also been good.
Cover designs have also consistently been well done.
Great work all round.

I'm not so happy about the DVD authoring on Space Nuts' though (there he goes again).
I'll never quite forgive them for letting such a blundered DVD slip out the door. Especially in a flagship title where everything else came together so beautifully. For shame.

On the subject of packaging I'm not keen on DVD sleeves or cardboard boxes.
It's commendable that they deem it worthwhile to spend a little extra on packaging. But I'd much prefer that money was put towards high quality Amaray cases instead of extra fluff that makes them physically stick out from the rest of my boxes.
It's no biggie. if that stuff sells I can live with it just fine, but I'd still prefer Amarays to sleeves and boxes.

Did they change the cover? Are there two different covers?

Wicked usually uses dual sided covers, one side features no nudity or hardcore images which can be displayed in a store and the other features nudity and hardcore images which can't. It looks like one is the hardcore cover and the other is the flipside store acceptable cover.

ObiBong, KPerv (and everyone else!),

Thanks for the kind words, on both the packaging and the movie themselves!

Regarding the differences in DVD sleeves, yes, we normally use double-sides sleeves, with a "hard" side (for online and brick-and-mortar adult stores) and a "soft" side, that's normally preferred by mainstream chain stores. In the case of Housewives, we upped the variety even more by unveiling a third design in the original AVN ad. Thanks for supporting this title!

Thank you,
Daniel Metcalf

I thought I saw a different title somewhere. Thanks for the explanation.
