Another Exxxotica in the Windy City has come and gone and it had some highs and it had some lows. The crowds were gangbusters again after a stellar showing in 2023. I took a lot of pictures and didn't get some that I wish I could have gotten. One of the big booths there, the one with Jenna Jameson, Kelsi Taylor, Gabbie Carter Keisha Grey, etc. had signs up all over the place about no pictures allowed. Of course, if you paid $40, you could take a picture! I asked one of the guys there if that applied to media also and they said, "Yes, no pictures unless you pay for them." So I got some pictures from a distance. Of course, if you knew a particular star well, she would allow pictures. Like Melissa Stratton and AJ Applegate. They didn't mind me taking pictures at all. Other girls I knew, they still deferred to the owners of the booth. So, I didn't get many pictures there.

Also, there was one very well known star who I wouldn't get in her line if you paid me. I was lingering near her booth just so I could see what was going on. Her husband/boyfriend/security/meat puppet, whoever he was, would talk to the fans in line. He would give a spiel about how much her merchandise cost and almost force the fans to buy something. If you said you didn't want to buy anything, she would barely give you the time of day and you had to stand about 10 feet away. And don't even think about taking a picture! I'm all for girls making money at the show and I have no problem tipping myself, but to strongarm someone I feel is just wrong.

On the bright side, most of the girls were happy to be there. Katie Kush was all smiles all weekend long. Lexi Luna told me she was so happy to be there. The first adult show she was ever at was Exxxotica Chicago in 2016 and she had to pay her way in. Now, she was signing at a major booth. Best friends Roxie Sinner and Melody Parker had a great time taking pictures with their fans. Rebel Rhyder is always incredible. It was amazing to see AJ again. She hasn't done a show in years and I literally bumped into her when she was going to her booth. She gave me a big hug and we talked a lot during the show. Last year, Madison Wilde didn't have many fans stopping by her booth because she was fairly new. This year, she was busy constantly giving a lot of lap dances!

On with the show!

I got lucky with Violet. I was just walking by her booth space when I saw her walk up Friday night. There was one person there so I was second in line while she got set up. She had about 4-5 people helping her get set up. I spent no more than 10 minutes before I got a chance to talk to her. Flash forward to Saturday. Fans started lining up when they heard she was signing. I was busy talking to other girls and her line grew. And grew. And grew. And grew! There must have been 150 people in line the last time I walked by it. I found out later that the fans waited for 2 1/2 hours before she made it to her booth! She was busy shooting content for You Tube and was late to sign. Per her Twitter, she says she's not doing Chicago next year.
