The series is the first for NakedSword since its award-winning, critically acclaimed “Wet Palms,” in 2005, which was a co-production with Jet Set Entertainment.

According to NakedSword President Tim Valenti, Dirty Boy approached his company with the concept for the series, which will feature hardcore sex, campy comedy and drag queens. The episodes revolve around the staff-members and patrons of a new bar in NYC’s East Village.

“When [Dirty Boy Video founder] Andy Fair first told me about the idea, I just knew this was the perfect vehicle for NakedSword,” Valenti said. “‘Dirty Tricks’ is clever, fresh and edgy — it’s the perfect match for us.”

Dirty Boy’s Fair said that he was inspired after reading Naked Sword’s blog site TheSword.com, which motivated him to contact Valenti.

“I loved working with such a great group of talented people at NakedSword. They made the project so much fun!” Fair said. “After I heard about The Sword, I thought this project would perfectly compliment the scope of coverage that I was expecting. I have seen through The Sword’s early development that I was right on. They are generating work that is relevant to this project, as well as exciting and fun to read.”

The series has already attracted mainstream attention from entertainment blogs TMZ and PerezHilton.com because of the casting of James “Crazy James” Zinkand, who also appears on CBS reality series “Big Brother 9.” Zinkand gained notoriety when news that he had appeared on several gay adult websites prior to becoming a contestant on the reality show aws exposed. Now, he will be appearing on “Dirty Tricks.”

The first 12 episodes will released weekly, beginning today and will run through June on DirtyTricks.tv and can be accessed by NakedSword.com affiliates and members. Trailers and non-hardcore scenes can be viewed at NakedSword.com, or on TheSword.com.
