Reviews
VVS's photos are graced by the kind of drag strip dames and juice joint jezebels who populated the men's mags of the 1950s--with a decidedly modern edge. It's no surprise, then, that with NYC's vibrant burlesque scene, she's the photographer of choice for a wide range of tassel-twirling temptresses, hot-rod honeys, and tommy gun tarts. -- Eroszine

Van Story is taking the parameters of cheesecake to new levels and the result (to say the least) is haute-cuisine. Pretty damn hot haute-cuisine, actually! --Real Detroit Weekly
