Our approach has been to blend niche markets of fetish, color and culture into adult films and then to turn adult films into future XXX mainstream movies." In May of this year, Astoria also launched two websites with her newly formed Shinefish Digital: FlashBrownProductions.com and AnjanetteAstoria.com. Anjanette Astoria herself was also nominated in two star categories for Urban X: Best MILF of the Year and Best Boobs.
