Dasha arrived from the Czech Republic tall, blonde, beautiful, but armed with almost no English. The K-Mart in Washington, DC gave her a broom and baggy overalls that hid every inch of her body. Prospects looked thin. With a girlfriend she bought a clapped-out car and aimed it west. In Hollywood the clubs paid in cash and let her dance topless. She slept in the back seat on Santa Monica beach and kept scanning for something better. One afternoon she wandered into an adult-video shop and noticed how sleek the Vivid box covers looked. The address in Van Nuys was easy to remember. The next morning the receptionist’s eyes widened; she rang the boss. Within minutes Dasha had a contract. They named her a Vivid Girl and put her straight into Broken English, which sold like silk sheets. Directors took notice. The Deftones booked her for their long-form video Change, Warner Bros. hired her for Brougham’s album art and music clip. Madonna chose her for the Music video, David LaChapelle shot her for his lens, Flaunt and Dune ran her spreads, and Playboy gave her a center spread among the industry’s top performers.
