Greetings to all my fellow ADT forum members. As most of you know I've been covering the east coast eXXXotica Expos (Florida & New Jersey) for the last seven years. During that time, I've always wanted to make a trip out to Las Vegas to attend the Adult Entertainment Expo since many performers go to AEE that never make it out to the east coast. I had never done it due to either monetary reasons, lack of vacation time and/or work responsibilities. In 2015, eXXXotica canceled the Florida show, which left me with only the NJ show to attend for the whole year. This left me with some unused vacation time, so I decided to finally pull the trigger and booked a trip to Vegas to attend my first ever AE Expo. It was any amazing experience and probably the busiest convention I've ever been to. My trip got off to a rough start as I was struck with a severe case of insomnia. I don't know if it was the three hour time difference or the dry desert air, but I couldn't fall asleep if my life had depended on it. I finally passed out a little after 9am Wednesday morning and awoke a little after 3pm that afternoon. The show opened at 12pm, so I had missed a huge chunk of the day. By the time I'd showered, shave and drove down the street to the Hard Rock, it was a little after 4pm. After parking in the garage and making the long walk to the convention hall, I searched for the press registration booth. For some strange reason, Industry registration and Fan registration were both on the first floor outside the doors of the convention hall, but Press/Media registration was located on the third floor of the hotel. After finding the elevators and taking up to the third floor, I stepped off the elevator to be greeted by a sign pointing me towards the room where Press registration was. The problem was, the room was located 80 ROOMS away down the hall. After finishing my mini-marathon, I reached the room and only had to wait a few minutes to been seen. The guy had a little trouble finding me in the computer, so I had to use my phone to log on to my email account to give him my confirmation number. He was then able to find my press pass, but once he did, his computer froze up and the system had to be rebooted! This took about 15 minutes before the tech guys got it working again. When he tried to print out my pass, the printer wouldn't work. It took about five minutes for them to figure out the network cable wasn't plugged it to the printer, but even after it was, it still wouldn't print. It took another 15 minutes or so for the computer techs to get their network system running again. By the time I finally got my pass and made it back downstairs and in to the convention hall, it was around 5pm. The show closed at 8pm, so I had a lot of ground to make up. Now that the settings had been properly set, let us begin.
First up was Japanese star Hitomi Tanaka at the R18.com booth. They had about ten other JAV girls too, but honestly didn't need them as Hitomi was attracting a massive crowd all on her own. I can see why she is so popular. I have to say her boobs lived up to all the hype. They are INSANELY huge, especially for a girl that barely over five feet tall. They were nearly as big as her head, no exaggeration. Tiny body, huge over-sized boobs and big doe eyes, she genuinely looks like an anime character that came to life. I didn't get to talk to her as she was mobbed the entire time she was on the show floor. She shot some stuff for SCORE, but that's all for American companies to my knowledge. Why she hasn't done more US made movies is beyond me, because she would make a killing if she did.
Over at the Burning Angel both was Vegas resident Sheridan Love also showing off a set of beautifully large boobs. As I reported, in my eXXXotica NJ thread, she is now shooting hardcore B/G scenes exclusively for the SCORE group. She has finally shot enough scenes that she got her own showcase DVD called "All The Way In". Very nice girl who is not shy about letting fans touch her enormous boobs. Hope to see a lot more of her when her contract with SCORE is up this summer.
As I walked from Muse Hall in to Artist Hall, I found the Wicked booth was setup in the hallway between them. Luckily, I got to see Asa Akira briefly as her signing time was almost over and she was about to leave for the day. She was her friendly self as usual. I've noticed she is only wearing black and/or white clothes to conventions these last few years. I'll have to ask why next time I see her and remind her there are many more colors in the rainbow. She's still loving being a Wicked Girl and is focusing on finishing her next book which is scheduled for release this August. Sadly, this was the only time I got to see her the whole weekend as every other time I passed by the Wicked booth, the line was out the door. I never got to see Stormy or jessica drake either this weekend. Unfortunately, there's so many girls and so little time, you can't see everyone at these expos.
As I walked the aisles in the Artist Hall, I passed by the Star Dot XXX booth and spotted Cindy Starfall in a her sexy stewardess costume. More on her later.
Over at the Brazzers booth, Romi Rain and Peta Jensen were both rocking the lacy black lingerie. It was so packed at their booth I didn't get to talk to either of them. They were so busy it was like an assembly line. When it was your turn they would greet you, ask your name to sign your complimentary 8x10 and take a quick photo with you and send you on your way. Phoenix Marie was also at the Brazzers booth, but her line 15+ people deep non-stop, so I missed her entirely. Hopefully, they come to an eXXXotica back east so i can see them again and maybe have a chance to chat with them.
Also at Brazzers was new AVN Hall of Fame inductee Nikki Benz in a sheer outfit. She was extremely proud of being inducted to the HOF and was showing everyone and their brother her HOF sticker on her ID badge. She didn't remember me form our two previous meetings and I tried to talk to her, but she too gave me the assembly line treatment and went back to posing for photographers. Please note, I hold no ill will against her or Romi & Peta. They were so swamped all week there's no way they could have taken time to chat with everyone who came to see them.
A few feet away at the Reality kings booth (all the Manwin companies were clustered together) was returning superstar Kagney Linn Karter. I'd met her a few times at eXXXotica expos in Miami several years ago and was excited to see her again. I tried chatting with her, but all her answers were very short yes or no responses, so our conversation was brief. I did learn that she's happy to be back in the industry and she looks better than ever, so we'll see how long she lasts this time around.
Also at Reality Kings was Latina spinner Jynx Maze who was once again feeling chilly inside a warm convention hall. Her shooting schedule has slowed, but she's still around and looks as amazing as ever. If you want to see more of her, start requesting her to your favorite companies and directors.
Across the aisle at the Babes.com booth was G/G superstar Celeste Star looking quite lovely. They had a bubble machine running at the booth and they kept blocking my shots of her. I'm not a huge G/G fan, so I'm not that familiar with her work, but from what I have seen I know she's great at what she does.
Next door at the PornHub booth was ebony beauty Anya Ivy. Just a drop-dead gorgeous girl with a beautiful face, a 1000-watt smile and flawless body. I hope her star continues to rise in the business.
Also at PornHub was superstar Dani Daniels, whom I finally got to meet. She too had a large crowd, so I didn't have a chance to chat with her. Kieran Lee was roaming around and tried to pull a prank on Dani, but she got the best of him. She was very comfortable meeting fans and taking photos. She describes herself as a goofball and after meeting her, I see what she means. She just likes to have fun and doesn't take herself too seriously. A very nice and beautiful girl. Hope to see her again soon.
Back across the aisle at Brazzers, was redhead beauty Monique Alexander looking wonderful as always. Not much new with her, Shooting some scenes here and there, feature dancing some, hosting events and traveling & enjoying life. She had her tattoo sleeve completed so it now runs from her wrist to her shoulder. Always a pleasure to Monique.
Also at Brazzers was blond babe Nicole Aniston, who was also so mobbed I never had the chance to speak too. I have met her before at a feature dance appearance in Miami, so that made not seeing her less disappointing.
I glanced to my let and spotted Jynx Maze doing a little chair twerkin' for a group of photographers and hustled to snap a few pics myself. Sadly, there was no time to record any video of her doing it.
Next, I tried to hit up the Jules Jordan booth, but it was surrounded by an ocean of fans. Riley Reid'sline was flat-out <iRIDICULOUS!</i Sadly, I never got to see her all week as she was just swamped every time she was on the show floor.
I walked down the hall and made my way in to the Joint. As I entered the very first booth by the door was the Spiegler Girl booth where I met the adorable Yhivi(pronounced E-V). Jet black hair, pale white skin and the cutest face. When she first came in to the business, I took one look at her with her ultra young face and that mushroom haircut she had and never gave her a second thought. I definitely prefer girls with a more mature look, but Yhivi certainly caught my eye with her new hair style. She still looks very young, but the new hair suits her much better, IMO. She was very pleasant to talk too. Very friendly and upbeat personality. Been in the business for little under two years and is enjoying it very much. I think she could have a very successful career if she plays her cards right.
Across the aisle was bootylicious babe Remy Lacroix in her trademark casual clothing. I had met her once before at eXXXotica Fort Lauderdale in 2013. I showed her the selfie we took together to jog her memory. Unfortunately, Remy was having a tough week. She had just had her wisdom teeth taken out about ten days before. Her stitches came out prematurely and her gums became infected, so her entire mouth was in a lot of pain. She said that it physically her to smile, so every time someone took a photo of her, it caused her even more pain. I told her we'd skip chatting and I'd just grab a few quick photos and be on my way. I told her she didn't have to smile since I didn't want to cause her any pain, but she said she didn't want to look mean in her photos. That's why she's kinda smirking in two of the pics due to the pain of smiling. I remarked that I was surprised she had come to the show and not canceled her appearance, but she sad she didn't want to disappoint her fans who came all the way to Vegas to see her. Say what you will about Remy Lacroix, but no one can deny she's one tough cookie that truly appreciates her fans.
Back at Spiegler Girls, Latin hottie Luna Star was actually twerkin' on a hoverboard, while wearing high heels! This girl loves her hoverboard, so much so she shot a scene with Kieran Lee for Brazzers while riding a hoverboard. I complemented her on making it o Vegas alive. She posted a video on Periscope of her driving an Escalade with Jada Stevens and three other girls on the way fro LA to Vegas. In the video she was adjusting the radio, smoking a blunt, and texting on her phone all at the same time while driving on the highway at 70mph! Luna is a gorgeous girl that just exudes sexiness. If she keeps up the hard work she'll definitely become a superstar in this industry someday.
Farther down the aisle, I found Harlow Harrison trying to stay warm in her overcoat at the OC Modeling booth. She's still relatively new and has shot a small number of scenes so far. I love that classic pin-up girl look she has, like a modern day Betty Grable. She recently moved to Vegas and is working as a house dancer at the Spearmint Rhino to supplement her income. Beautiful girl that I can't wait to see more of.
Also at OC Modeling was blond beauty Leya Falcon in a perfectly suited Harley Quinn cosplay costume. I aksed how she's feeling with all of the health issues she's been having and all things considered, she's doing OK. She's still dealing with a myriad of health issues they are not going away anytime soon, yet she remains remarkably upbeat and optimistic about her future. She said she still plans to start shooting scenes again when she's healthy enough. I thanked her for coming to the show and wished her the best of luck in her recovery.
At the end of the aisle at the VIP Connect booth was newbie Kendra Cole. Tall and super slender, waif-like body with skin like porcelain. She had a bit of a Gothic inspired look with the dark dress and makeup. Been in the busy a little over a year and only has half a dozen credits on her IAFD page. She was having a good week, staying in at night and avoiding all the drama that comes when a large group of pornstars gather in one place. A very nice, polite girl that seems to have a good head on her shoulders. I will be keeping a closer eye on her career in the future.
Also at VIP Connect was blond MILF Brooke Tyler and her HUGE over-sized breast implants (34GG) in a strapless dress. Love the "Cougar" necklace she's wearing too. She's 49 and got in to porn about five years ago. Hasn't shot too much over the last year. She is one of the few girls who doesn't lie or hide that fact she is an escort as evidenced by her bio on her Twitter page, which includes a link to her escorting site. Her boobs are so big they stick out past the sides of her torso and you can see the sides of them when her back is towards you. Other than the needlessly over-sized implants, I like her. She's fairly tall, is in great shape and has a smokey, husky voice, which I really like on mature ladies. Hopefully, she'll get booked for more scenes this year.
Over at LA Direct, new girl Adria Rae looking terrific. She remembered me from our chat at eXXXotica New Jersey two months earlier. She's still enjoying the adult industry and has been trying to build up her resume with as many scenes as she can. Nice girl with a bright future ahead of her.
Over in front of the main stage at the 101 Modeling booth I found blond beauty Alexis Fawx showing her her big bubble booty in a semi-sheer black ripped dress. The big news she is back to shooting scenes, She took some time off for a year or so, but is back with a vengeance. I'd met her a couple times before at eXXXotica Miami in 2012 and Fort Lauderdale in 2013. Her whole career she was contracted to BangBros, but is now freelancing. She lives in Miami and commutes to LA for a few weeks at a time. I'm thrilled she's back as she's a beautiful girl and a great performer. She's shot for multiple companies since her return with more to come. I asked her what her plans for 2016 are and she replied she'd like to do anal eventually but admits she still needs a lot of practice in her personal life. She also wants to start exploring IR and shoot a blowbang as she loves fellatio. Listen to my interview and hear Alexis tell you herself. Adult Entertainment Expo Podcast - Alexis Fawx
Over at the Arch Angel booth was blond babe Kenzie Taylor rocking the blackout look. Blond hair, bright eyes and great body with minimal tattoos. Gotta be honest and admit I haven't seen very much of her work, but if Arch Angel got her to sign for them, you know she's gotta be great.
At the Evil Angel booth, Adriana Chechik was looking very 70's chic in a long blond wig, pink legless bodysuit with fringed arms and knee-high boots. Her line was incredibly long, so I didn't get a chance to talk to her that day, but I would later in the week.
Also at the Evil Angel booth was the Neon Lolita, Aidra Fox. Again, I didn't get to speak with her as the lines at the EA booth was insane. She's a beautiful girl with a amazing body and bright smile. I can see why she has become so popular so quickly.
I love this shot of Aidra in the foreground with the huge Evil Angel billboard in the background. It's almost as good as one of AnimeNut's signature Dutch angle shots.
The reigning AVN Female POTY Anikka Albrite enjoying her last few days as POTY before passing the award to someone else. She was appearing here and a few other booths as well. She was also doing interviews about hosting the awards show on Saturday as well as doing rehearsals for said show. One of the best performers working today and also one the nicest, friendliest people you could ever hope to meet (ditto for Mick Blue). One of Anikka's most impressive attributes is everyone seems to love her. Every girl I've met, if Anikka's happen to come up in the conversation, they all say how much they love her. Porn is a lot like high school, in that there's a lot of drama and cattiness. Almost every female performer has another female performer they severely dislike for one reason or another, yet so far, I've never heard another girl saying anything remotely negative about Anikka Albrite. If she keeps going this rate, I genuinely believe Anikka could be one of the all time greats. Time will tell if I'm right about her. P.S. - I love that I caught Mick Blue licking his lips in the background of the first photo!
As I made my way out of the Joint, I stopped by the S15 Models booth hoping to see Kendra Lust. She wasn't there, but I did get to meet redhead Alice March. She is the definition of petite. Barley over five feet tall, less than one-hundred pounds and just turned 22 years-old. If you're in to spinners, she's the girl for you. Very nice girl and a pleasure to talk to.
By now it was almost 8pm and the expo was about to close. I cut through the Artist Hall on my way out and was standing in front of the Jules Jordan booth when Morbid came walking up with Aria Alexander and introduced us. She had just won Season 2 of the DP Star competition and I congratulated her on doing so. She is thrilled to be a contract star and excited about what's to come in 2016. Another Spiegler Girl crossed off my list.
Thanks Jman! I always look forward to your posts from conferences because of your little stories about each girl (and of course the great pics). I look forward to day 2!
I was able to pick up my press badge at the first floor registration. They separate the two so that press can avoid the long lines of the trade attendees.
Day 2 On Day 2, I decided to start in the Muse Hall and work my way from one end of the Hard Rock to the other. In the very first aisle I found Lexi Belle at the Cam Soda booth. She's gone back to black hair now that her Penthouse contract is over. I asked her to finally reveal what the big announcement was that she had teased since last September. She replied the big news is that she is going back to being a vegetarian! She has put on weight, but she still looks terrific. Plus, a lot of the weight went to her boobs as they were looking bigger than ever! As far as shooting scenes, she is still plating things by ear and hasn't decided what she wants to do yet. Always wonderful to see Lexi Belle.
Also at the CamSoda booth was the mighty Gianna Michaels in an afghan style dress. I didn't have the chance to talk to her as her signing time was over and she was leaving for the day. I do know she is still feature dancing, so keep an eye out in case she comes to a town near you.
Over at the MOFOS booth was busty ebony babe Cassidy Banks. Beautiful girl with flawless skin and mouth watering boobs. I like how she matched her lipstick to her hair color. She's been in the business for a little under two years and is still only 22 years-old. I really like her as natural big boob girls are so rare these days.
Over Digital Playground, Jessica Jaymes was looking pretty in pink. Hard to believe she's been in the business since 2002. She's one of those girls who seems to fly under the radar a lot of the time, but works on a consistent basis. She looks amazing and I hope she stays in the industry for a long time.
Next door at Reality Kings, Jynx Maze was hanging out in a glittering outfit. This girl was made to do porn. Without question one of my favorite performers. I hope she stays in the business for a long time. Edited by - Jman5245 on 2/15/2016 10:05:36 AM
