Long, long ago, in the remote past of 2009, Vivienne founded her first company and tackled the most pressing of world problems, burdening the hearts and minds (and another organ) of Silicon Valley engineers and Wall Street businessmen alike: their next hookup. Pairing bleeding edge, CIA-funded face recognition research with her own selfless genius, SexyFace tells the story of how Vivienne bravely put her best foot forward to help the sexually frustrated when they needed her most.

The best part? She was also able to reunite orphan refugees with their loved ones as a side hustle, just for kicks. (No, seriously.)
