I’ll go on the record and say my knowledge of porn is lacking compared to the most of you. But with that said, I was curious about the AEE. I’ve seen professional and fan pictures from last year and saw a fan video from 2 years ago. Well I made the decision to go to Vegas for my vacation and included 2 trips to the convention (Friday and Saturday). I’m sure there are many members here as well as lurkers that are curious and want to know more about the AEE, especially from somebody that went for the first time.
Before I talk about the porn stars, I have a couple of general thoughts. I wish the organizers did a better job on Friday with the ticket situation. The convention started at 2pm yet the ticket booths for the people that had already purchased their tickets online didn’t open until 2pm. I swear the workers arrived at 1pm and than just chatted away amongst themselves for an hour while the line got longer and longer. At least on Saturday, the ticket booth opened 30 minutes before the convention was scheduled to start.
I’m not going to lie, I pictured the average fan that attended the AEE as a fat 30/40/50 something creepy looking loner. Once I lined up to pick up my tickets on Friday, that stereotype was shattered. There were a wide range of people (20 something guys, old couples, young couples, etc…). It basically looked like a “normal” crowd to me. There were also people from CES that decided to drop by the AEE.
It was a pretty surreal moment to walk up the steps for the first time to see Box Covers and Posters blown up. I can’t think of any other industry that allows its performers, media members, and fans to mingle together under one roof. With all the swag given away, I’m glad there were Bangbros.com bags given to all attendees. From 2 days, I walked away with about 8-10 DVD samplers, countless number of signed headshots/posters, stickers, pen, t-shirt, and a hat.
By now I’m sure you want to hear about the porn stars. I’m not a person that gets star struck but I must say it was pretty neat to be able to chat with the stars and to have your picture taken with them. Being a first timer, I didn’t know if each fan was given a set amount of time with a porn star before being ushered off. There was no time limit which was good and bad. The good is that you didn’t felt rushed and could take the time to chat it up with the porn stars. The bad is that some people took way too long and made everybody else behind them wait a lot longer. I also didn’t like it when you’re about to meet someone and than a photographer or 2 comes in with a fancy camera and asks the star to pose. Once one person starts snapping pics, everybody else comes out of nowhere to join in. But these are just minor annoyances. I rarely had to wait over 15 minutes to meet a porn star. Several performers and fans told me there was a big drop off in attendance this year. I found it really easy to navigate through the convention and less people made it easier to meet more stars. From this point of view, I can’t complain about less people being there.
Okay now it’s time for me to talk about the porn stars (I’ll probably butcher the spelling of their names):
There wasn’t much interest for the male porn stars/directors. I didn’t see anybody stop Jules Jordan, Christian, Manuel Ferrera, Rocco, Sasha, Tony T, Mr. Pete, and Ivan for pictures/autographs. Manual and Christian were nice enough to stop when I asked if I could pose for a picture with the both of them. Christian has to be at least 6’5 because he really stood out of the crowd and had his customary Basketball jersey on.
Bree Olson: She was the first porn star that I saw and one of the most I wanted to meet. She was really friendly, welcomed me with a hug, and said I was really cute (I’m guessing she said that to half of the other guys too though, lol).
Courtney Cummz: Another friendly person (I’m going to repeat this a lot). What stood out about meeting her is that she asked me which hand I stroked with, lol. Once I told her the hand, she put a wristband on my arm with her website address on it.
Aurora Snow: Another friendly person. She was signing near the back of the convention. She still looks extremely young.
Brianna Banks: For some reason, I didn’t expect her to be really friendly but I was wrong. I just recently found out the reason she had to sit down for all her pictures is because she’s recovering from a broken foot. She had one of the longest lines out there.
Lexi Belle: Another friendly person. She gave me a hug and I can’t believe she’s in porn. She sounds like she’s about 14 years old but is extremely cute. I can’t complain over the fact she stuck her ass in my face for a nice picture. Everytime I walked by her area, she was dancing, signing, or posing with a smile on her face.
Stephanie Swift: Signed and posed for a picture. I got the impression, she wasn’t exactly thrilled to be there.
Jana Jordan: Another friendly person. Just like Lexi Belle, I can’t believe she’s in porn.
Memphis Monroe: Another friendly person. She has a really pretty smile.
Jessica Bangkok: Another friendly person. I told her what a creative last name she has.
Jenna Haze: I’m not a Jenna Haze fan but she was friendly.
Alektra Blue: She is the queen of sultry faces. Once people started snapping away, she was full of sultry faces and poses. She truly knows how to work the camera. She didn’t say much and I got a vibe she would rather be elsewhere.
Meggan Malone, Hannah Hilton, Monique Alexander: All 3 of them signed together when I was there. It appeared the majority of people in line were just getting a group shot with all 3 girls but I asked for a group shot and individual pictures with all 3 ladies. Monique Alexander is one of the prettiest ladies I’ve ever seen up close and personal.
Tanner Mays: She had the best bottom outfit at the AEE with her candy thong. One fan got up close and personal and it looked like he was licking/eating the candy off of her ass. This drew a huge crowd to her booth. My friend told me someone came up to Tanner and told her she couldn’t do that. She is really innocent and decided to plant a kiss on my cheek which of course I didn’t complain about. I could easily see her being one of the biggest stars in the business.
Claire Dames: She caused quite the frenzy with her boobs and ass. A huge crowd was gathered around snapping away and Claire called them a bunch of perverts (she was joking). It looked like she was having a lot of fun.
Bobbi Starr: She’s articulate and very friendly. I got the impression she was genuinely excited to meet the fans.
Lexi Love: She signed beside Bobbi Star and was also very friendly.
Britney Amber: One of the un-intentional comedic aspects of AEE is to read what the girls write on their pictures. Britney wrote “Thanks for the great time last night sexy”. I had a great time, it just didn’t have anything to do with Britney.
Riley Steele: Friendly and very attractive
Teagan Presley: She was the star I wanted to meet. She was friendly and very attractive. I didn’t realize how short she was into I saw her in person.
Stoya: Another friendly person.
Flower Tucci: She had a big line and I had the pleasure of having my face buried in her ass.
Kayden Kross: Much like Alektra Blue, she was also full of sultry faces. She was kind enough to make one for me when I asked so I have no complaints.
Roxy DeVille: Another friendly person. I had a nice chat with her about Christian’s blog.
Ashley Jensen: Another friendly person
Dana DeArmond: She had on a really nice outfit on Saturday. I should probably get some advice from her on how to get a flat/toned stomach. She even told me I had to push my hand up on her ass cheek. I told her I was a lurker on ADT and she said I should start posting so here I am.
Gianna Michaels: She had one of the longest lines. There was a funny moment when one fan came over to the line and asked who was signing. The guy in front of me reacted like he was insulted the other guy didn’t know who Gianna Michaels was.
Alexis Texas: She really worked the crowd into a frenzy when she started to give away t-shirts. She had one of the longer lines there. It seemed like everybody wanted a picture with her ass sticking out.
Tori Black: If you’re reading this, I’m surprised you were still willing to pose with that guy that grabbed your ass without your permission. Anyways, Tori was really friendly and was willing to do a doggystyle pose.
Andi Anderson: She had a big smile on her face the whole time. She also didn’t mind people grabbing her boobs when posing for pictures.
Penny Flame: She had a megaphone with her because her voice was almost gone. She was really fun to talk to.
Amy Reid: I didn’t expect her to be really friendly but she was. But she told me she didn’t want to be there because she was really sick (not because she didn’t want to meet the fans) I generally don’t like to comment on a girl’s weight, but Amy looked like she could use a hamburger or 3.
Mackenzee Pierce: Mackenzee was nice enough to come over even when she wasn’t scheduled to sign. She’s a very pleasant person to talk to.
Devon: I didn’t see her name in the guide so I was surprised to see her. She was really friendly.
Melissa Lauren: Another friendly person that always had a smile on her face
Shyla Stylez: She asked me if I was a tits or ass man, and I replied tits, and she dunked my head on her boobs.
I know I’m forgetting numerous other porn stars. But the last one I remember is Angelina Armani. I had a negative experience with her. I approached her and said hi and she asked me twice if I wanted to buy her movie. I didn’t say yes and she looked upset. When I asked her if she could pose for a picture she didn’t say anything and had the whole “pfff” face (basically the facial expression where she couldn’t believe I was asking her to pose for a picture). She did pose with me for a picture but didn’t look happy about it. I thought her attitude was awful. My friend, who didn’t purchase a movie, also had a negative experience with her. I won’t spend a single penny with a product that has Angelina Armani attached to it. I could understand her attitude if I was rude, but I wasn’t.
I know I’m forgetting countless other names.
Overall, I had a really great time at the AEE. You don’t realize how attractive and tiny the porn stars are into you see them in person. With the exception of one person, I had a pleasant experience meeting the stars. If you’re kind to them, they will be kind to you in return. Behave yourself and don’t touch the porn stars unless you have permission. These are real people and not some blow up doll for you to grope. Also, if you bring a camcorder, don’t record “up skirt/dresses” footage. It’s creepy and from what I saw, the porn stars don’t like it.
Oh yeah, was I the only one that saw Keri Sable in The Venetian on Saturday? If it wasn’t her, it must have been a twin sister.
