A touch of Grey.

Here’s the poster for the new film by Steven Soderbergh, The Girlfriend Experience, which stars the lovely and talented Sasha Grey:

I really dig that poster. And I’m actually quite a huge Soderbergh fan, so I’d probably be looking forward to this no matter what it was, pretty much, but I’m fascinated by Sasha Grey’s transition (one hopes) from an actress in adult cinema to an actress in mainstream films, or at least films made by filmmakers like Soderbergh.

Sasha Grey, birthday girl.

Of course, on the down side, she’s playing a prostitute (presumably giving someone the girlfriend experience), so there might not be quite the mainstream credibility she could potentially deserve, but it should be interesting either way, right?

You can follow Sasha’s twitter, which has some very interesting stuff on it, including this:

…And here’s her now infamous American Apparel ad for one of my favorite blogs, The Reverse Cowgirl:

I thin it’s safe to say that we’re fans of Sasha here at CK, not just becase she’s amazing at what she does, but because she’s a success-minded young woman on an interesting path in her career and has made it clear time and time again that she doesn’t plan on solely being what you expect of her.
