The 29th Annual AVN Awards rocked Vegas this past weekend, celebrating the best of the best in dirty action.  This ‘Oscars of porn’ is pretty much the event of the industry, so we figured what better way to congratulate the winners than to do a Top Five Tuesday, right?  Unlike top fives we’ve done in the past, I thought we might switch it up a little this week and add in clips for some of the five featured flicks.  So, let’s do it!

Bush.
This Elegant Angel movie focusing on ladies sporting pubic hair (hence the name) took the award for Best Specialty Release – Other Genre.  While I’m not sure exactly what that ‘other genre’ is, I assume it’s the pubic hair talking. Balls deep with some of the hottest performers out there (like James Deen, Allie Haze, Bobbi Starr, Kristina Rose and Kimberly Kane), this video made my list due to the extra sexy clip below.  I love me some Kimberly Kane… even though she keeps her Ugg-esque boots on the whole time.

Spider-Man XXX – A Porn Parody
This year it looks like porno parodies had their day in the sun, even getting a few of their own categories at the 2012 AVN Awards. So, of course, at least one had to make it on to the list.  My favorite of the bunch is Vivid‘s Spider-Man XXX – A Porn Parody, which came home with both the Best Cinematography and Best Parody – Drama awards.  Nice work, Spidey!  My favorite part?  When MaryJane goes in for the upside-down kiss, then Spider-Man reels up, only to come back down with his cock out, looking for a BJ.  Hilarious.

Portrait Of A Call Girl
Apparently I am on an Elegant Angel kick, because this awesome feature film is by EA as well.  Along with nabbing Best Feature, this flick also took home Best Director – Feature (Graham Travis) and Best Actress (Jessie Andrews). It must have been an exciting night for everyone involved!  If you are looking for a porno movie that’s less wham-bam and more story with lots of hot sex, this is the one for you!  Check out my review to read more about what makes this dirty movie so damn awesome!

Ink
Daring Media Group’s sensual foray into beautifully tattooed folks getting busy won this year’s Best Foreign All-Sex Release.  Both elegant and raw, this high quality film encompasses desire and erotic delights – all while hitting it tastefully hardcore.  While that mix is difficult to find in general, it’s even harder to find done well.  Nice work Daring.  You definitely deserve this win!

Belladonna: Sexual Explorer
Oh man, Belladonna is seriously amazing.  Bella and Dana DeArmond took home the Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene award with their ridiculously delicious duo in this double disc set and holy crap do they deserve it.  The whole movie is fantastic (what Belladonna movie isn’t?), but I especially loved this scene and am so happy that it won!  Just take a look at this foot-heavy clip below and see for yourself.

Head over to AVN to see a complete list of winners.

Congratulations to all of this years winners and nominees!

Since next week we are going Christmas crazy (and Hanukkah hog wild – sorry, I had to), I figured today I should review something totally different.  You know, different like Kung Fu Pussy.  Along with being something super random in the face of holiday cheer, this Burning Angel newbie is also nominated for 4 AVN awards, including Best Comedy, Best Music Soundtrack, Best Screenplay and Best Director – Feature (Go Joanna, Go!).  Even without all those accolades, I knew I needed to watch this alt flick.  I mean really, look at the cover.  Amazing.

As is Burning Angel tradition, this movie is laden with super sexy tattooed badasses.  But along with the same old, KFP (had to shorten it) features Kleio, Jessie Lee and Joanna Angel as a trio of women that all encompass a specific ninja power that needs the other two to make it all the more powerful.  Kleio, with her Lotus Pussy, Jessie and her Dragon Tits, and Joanna’s Iron Ass must together fight the evil that is Emperor Deen Wang!  The only catch is that the trio doesn’t seem to like each other very much.

It’s only when Deen Wang (James Deen) murders their beloved teacher, the women know they must join their own separate powers to master the only move that will defeat Deen Wang – the ASS SLAM.  After intensive training, the trio head out to find Deen Wang and actually end up in his prison.  But not to worry, soon the escape and fight His Evilness himself.  Guess who’s mastered the Ass Slam!?!  Goodbye Deen Wang!

My favorite scene of the movie actually doesn’t involve any of the Kung Fu Pussies.  It’s scene 3, between evil Emperor Deen Wang and sex slave Dana DeArmond.  They “role play” that he is an evil villain and she is a sex slave (oh, that Burning Angel humor), and DeArmond gets the pounding of a lifetime.  It’s so very obvious that she is doing some serious getting off and thoroughly enjoying herself.  Shit, she even starts pulling her own hair during an explosive orgasm.  Man, that is some hot action!  This whole movie is awesome, but this scene is especially one to watch.

Two thumbs up for this great alt feature.  It definitely lives up to its much deserved AVN noms!

Watch “Kung Fu Pussy” Now!

Sex And Submission is definitely one of my most beloved series that I get the pleasure of reviewing. I love the kink, but most of all I love that I know that all of the performers are into it! Being tied and put through the ringer with ropes, gags, hot wax, whips electrosex toys (just to scratch the surface) is awesome, but only if you love it… only if you find pleasure in pain. Otherwise, it just plain sucks for you. Before each movie we find out what the performers are into and what their threshold of pain is. Afterwards we get to see them bask in the glow of what they just went through as they talk about what they liked most while filming.

Sex And Submission 28 – Sexy Submissive Marie Luv Is Bound And Fucked – Featuring Mark Davis and Marie Luv: A great fucking pair.  To me, Mark Davis is the ideal dominant male.  He takes control without getting corny.  He makes you eager to please, but is never quite satisfied so that you’re always striving and never slacking.  Mari Luv is an incredible performer.  She is filthy and always full of great energy when she fucks.  The sex is great, but the pairing alone is makes this good enough to be on this list.

Sex And Submission #15 Featuring James Deen and Dana DeArmond: In Dana’s first boy-girl scene we get to watch Mr. Deen have his way with her.  The electro-sex butt play is fun to watch and James is quite good at showing very little mercy.  I love the well roundedness of his porno skills.

Sex And Submission #25 – Featuring Savannah Stern & Derrick Pierce: I love the dirty talk in this movie!  So hot!  Coming in as my other favorite part of this movie is the through-the-fence blow job action that goes down while Savannah is zip tied to the chain link.  So dirty. So good.

Sex And Submission 31 – Porn Star Naomi Surrenders In Bondage: First time ever in bondage scene, Naomi loves every second of being Steven St. Croix’s pet.  So sexy!

Sex And Submission #19 Featuring Sandra Romain, Annie Cruz, Kat and Seven: This movie is insane in all the right ways.  Sandra Romain makes the three ladies her little slaves and presents them to Lee Stone and Mark Davis for the using.  When the girls aren’t performing to her standards she takes over and shows the girls the proper way to fuck and give head.  She is indeed a queen of dirt baggery.  This one is definitely not for faint of heart.

If you love the kink and you haven’t check out the Sex and Submission series I suggest you do so right now!

Love,
Ginger

I’m a pretty big fan of Dana DeArmond and when I came across her (supposed) first boy/girl movie ever, I had to watch.  She requested none other than James Deen as her first on-camera cock.  Nice choice!  It was fun to watch these 2 in a porno made back in 2005.  Hey, 6 years is like a century in the porn biz.

Dana, also known as “the internet’s girlfriend”, loves rough sex and kink and I totally dig that about her.  In the obligatory Sex And Submission interview we find out that’s she is okay with getting things shoved down her throat and that she hopes she is “in trouble”.  James takes his role as the big guy in charge, directing Dana to show her tits, put her hand in her mouth, etc.  We cut to her being tied up and ready for the using.  Mr. Deen puts her through all sorts of hellish (in the best possible way) activities to keep her nice and overwhelmed.  I love the way Dana writhes around, all tied up and helpless, as she enjoys every second of the abuse.

In Scene 2 James pulls out the electro-sex butt plug.  Maybe I’m heartless, but I couldn’t help but giggle as I watched her reactions to the electro-stimulation in her butt.  It was a mix of laughter, squeels and moments of surprise.  Just as she would get used to the tingling, James would turn up the juice a little more.  I have to say I thought this was super hot.  Although I don’t dislike it, Electro-sex doesn’t usually do it for me.  I have never really had feelings about it one way or another, but I definitely enjoyed watching Dana DeArmond take a few shock waves to the rump.

The ropes come off in scene 3 and it’s time for screwing!  James Deen gives it to her good and rough.  The sex is hot, but the left over rope marks on her arms and the red marks on her ass and face from all of the slapping are what I love most here.  The movie wraps up when James removes the condom and splooges on her tummy.

I always enjoy the Sex And Submission movies.  They provide the right amount of kink and always involve performers that are down for the dirtiness.  This is one in particular that will go on the must-watch again list!  My only complaint: that is one awful box cover.  Way to not do Dana DeArmond any justice at all.

Watch Sex And Submission #15 Featuring James Deen And Dana DeArmond now!

Through all of the blow jobs, pussy licking, fucking, butt play, threesomes, orgies, omelets (don’t ask) and other sex acts I have seen or may never see, sometimes I like to go back to plain old fashioned kissing. I love all of the down and dirty acts that take place, but it’s fun to just watch people make out. You get to see some true passion and I’m always down for that.

I’m taking a brief hiatus from talking about the dirty pervy stuff and making a list of kissing pornos that I need to feast my eyes on in the very near future. Other stuff goes down in these movies, but they each feature a good healthy dose of tonsil hockey.

Girls Kissing Girls Volume Seven: All of the movies from the Girls Kissing Girls series look super hot.  What sells me on this one is the box cover featuring Andy San Dimas and Dana DeArmond.  For me, these girls are hands down two of the hottest girls in the industry.  Getting to watch these 2 together is definitely a treat that I’m looking forward to.

The Art Of Kissing III: This movie comes from another great porno series.  From Viv Thomas, these gorgeous femmes truly show the beauty of kissing.  I took a peek at the opening shower session in scene 5 and I must say I wasn’t prepared for such ridiculous hotness.

KissMe Girl – Alexandra and Ann Marie: This short movie is perfect fit for summer time porn watching.  Looking super cute in their bikinis and jean shorts, these ladies get their smooch on under a tree.  From the looks of it, they have lots of chemistry and I totally look forward to checking them out.

The Kissing Game: My girl Kim Kane was on the box cover of this one, so I had to put it on the list.  The three way kissing scene looks like loads of fun to watch.  Plus, I’ll get another chance to watch the red headed Alexandra Ivy in action!

Aggressive Kissing: From the amateur studio Porn For The People, Aggressive Kissing features all kissing all the time.  There aren’t any segues into finger banging or anything else.  Tyler and Alissa just make out and enjoy being pressed up against one another. I think most of us can relate to this scenario – when you lose time because you just can’t bear to unlock your lips.

I’d love to get your kissing porno suggestions!

- Ginger Leigh

Dylan Ryan & Samantha Ryan? Andy San Dimas & Dana DeArmond? Yes, please!

The latest movie in my favorite Sweetheart Video series features some of my favorite mainstream ladies (along with queer heartthrob/crossover star Dylan Ryan) getting it on. It’s relatively standard fare, but the fact that it stars super hot ladies who really enjoy women makes it stand out in the genre.

First up we get San Dimas & Dearmond and, as these movies typically go, things start off slowly. They talk (?) and spend a lot of time making out, which is pretty damn sweet. By the time San Dimas goes down on her girl, you’l'l be ready for it! The two have a lot of fun kissing, fingering and fucking in this thirty minute scorcher.

The other scene worth mentioning is next, so don’t his pause or you’ll miss the Ryans. These ladies have more in common than their last name – they both love pussy! Let me start by saying how cute Dylan looks in her thin white v-neck and boy shorts. I’m pretty sure you could stumble into her bedroom in the morning and find her curled up with a cup of coffee and a book in that outfit!

Of course, they don’t last long, and once these girls start kissing I was no longer concerned with anything besides getting them off. Once again, you’ll get lots of kissing, pussy eating and a good chance to check out two hot ladies as they worship each other.

Overall, this is a strong girl-girl movie from Sweetheart. This is also my last porno review. I’m glad I got to see Dylan Ryan naked.

What do you get when you mix Jiz Lee, April Flores, Dana DeArmond, Adrianna Nicole, Marie Luv and more?  A ridiculously awesome sextravaganza that could only come from the deliciously pervy mind of one Kathryn Annelle, director extraordinaire for Triangle Films.  In fact, as soon as I find out a movie is made by Annelle, I know I am in for a super sexy treat.  And this latest Triangle flick is no exception.  Oh, and lucky you guys, we just released this video on the site, so this review is super hot off the presses!

Set in a fancy day spa, this lesbo sex romp features blond bombshell Lily Labeau as a receptionist that gets really caught up in her work, which means totally neglecting her girlfriend Andy San Dimas at home. But while that is the main plot of this story, it’s really the other spa folks that have my full attention.  And can you guess which sexy stars have me drooling?  Why, it’s Jiz and April – a total shock I know.  Unfortunately these two never get busy onscreen together here, but who can really complain when they have such amazingly hot scenes with Dana DeArmond and Adrianna Nicole, respectively.  So, instead of crying over what wasn’t, let’s take a closer peek into the total hotness of my favorite scenes.

How do you get a bratty spa customer to chill the hell out?  Give her the pussy licking of her life!  And Jiz does just that to a bossy Dana DeArmond.  What a way to start a porno!  There is something so extra hot about this pair enjoying the great outdoors and talking dirty next to a serene swimming pool.  While I love both Jiz and Dana separately, the combo is fucking mind-blowing.  It’s totally obvious that neither is faking anything and that each moan and squeal is more real than the last.  I love that they both smile and giggle and make sure they are giving each other what they want.  What an awesome scene!  Also, I’m fairly certain that DeArmond made a “30 Rock” Liz Lemon reference, which, of course, makes my whole life.

As for April Flores and Adrianna Nicole – this pair was meant to fuck. It’s just true.  They have this automatic chemistry and ease that happens when folks are truly enjoying themselves and the person they are with.  All I can say is Adrianna’s lips and April’s hips – a serious match made in heaven.  I’m not exactly sure of their plot relationship; April is either Adrianna’s co-worker or her boss, but I can’t say it really matters much to me, since they are equally under one another’s power once their clothes come off.  And all that complaining April does at the start of the scene, about her feet hurting?  Well, she gets to spend quite a bit of time here with her feet up… in the air.  But those sparkly silver heels never actually come off, which for me, totally makes the scene.

Thanks for another ridiculously sexy win, Triangle!

Watch “Her Little Secret” Now!

I have a total hard-on for hardware, so it’s not hard to see why I would have a special place in my heart for fucking machine.  Not only am I super hot for watching them pump cocks in and out of excited orifices, I’m also really interested in the machines in general – how they work, and if it would be easy to make one.  Sadly it’s not even that I want to be fucked by one as much as just figure out how to make something from found parts.  What can I say, when you spend all your professional time talking about porn and sex, your down time is the total opposite.  And I just happen to really like making stuff.  Ok, but back to the movie!

Fucking Machines #22 is fucking awesome.  I was totally sold before even hitting play, based solely on the three performers featured – Dana DeArmond, Lorelei Lee and the fabulous Dylan Ryan.  All three of these ladies are amazing in their own rights, but they come together in the movie to make some seriously good news in my life.

Starting off the flick, Dana DeArmond skips around some sort of magical meadow where she finds dildos and metal pieces all over the ground, which she collects as she goes on her merry way.  After finding a motor/ base, all makes sense and she connects all the pieces to make one freaking awesome piston pumping machine – that ends up being a double penetrating monster too!  What what in the butt!  Of course this means that Dana must remove her raccoon tail butt plug, which is seriously awesome, though I’m not 100% sure what it’s doing in this movie.  All I know is that it’s fabulous and that I want one – STAT!

Next up Dylan and Lorelei tease the shit out of one another while they each have the others’ speed controllers.  They’re too busy making each other feel good to both get pounded by the machines at the same time, which was a little bit disappointing to me, but it let them focus on the other more, so I’m not complaining too much here.  Within the 20 minutes of their scenes together, the pair featured a number of ways to get it from the fucking machines – including doggy style and standing up.  I feel like this was half porno, half instructional gem.  All I need now is a fucking machine of my very own.

All in all, this is a two thumbs up adventure in hot hot hardware!

Dana DeArmond isn’t kidding when she says she is the Internet’s girlfriend. Before even taking her place in front of the porno industry video cameras, DeArmond had already wowed a dedicated fan base of more than 830,000 MySpace friends and cemented her place in adult history by changing the way that performers and fans communicate, treating fans as peers/friends and not just people who are paying to watch her get off. Along with a couple hundred movies under her belt, DeArmond has rocked the director’s chair as well, bringing her unique fan interactions – and new faces – to the Vivid screen. All in all, this awesomely alt/mainstream/fetish/what-have-you porno princess is fabulous to watch, follow and totally enjoy.

1. How (and when) did you get started in the industry?
My first shoot was for hogtied.com in Feb. 2004. I had applied to kink.com because I was interested in being on fuckingmachines.com and they hired me immediately for bondage shoots on their network of sites.

2. If you weren’t in the adult industry, what would you be doing?
I would be working in some sort of entertainment. I’ve been a performer my entire life, I couldn’t imagine doing something different.

3. What’s the best thing you’ve learned or best advice you’ve received from industry?
Unlike a lot of people I told my folks that I was thinking about applying for work on an adult website BEFORE actually doing it.  I’m lucky to have a very open minded family and my parents both gave me the same advice; to not do anything that makes me feel uncomfortable.  I live by that advice every day, inside and out of work.

4. What’s the funniest thing that’s happened while filming?
I was filming for Jay Sin and I tried to get up on the back of a couch and I fell backwards and rolled out of the side of the gazebo.  Luckily no one was hurt.

5. What do you think is the biggest  misconception about women in the industry?
That they are stupid, easy, diseased nymphomaniacs who are being victimized.
It’s all very insulting.  We are all adults and we know exactly what we are doing.   I feel some people don’t respect porn stars as entertainers because they can’t see past the fantasy.  I am only human, I have feelings and I don’t like being talked to like a piece of trash.

6. What did you do today?
Took a bath. Ran the dishwasher. Filled out this interview.

7. What would you rather have done today?
Gone to Disneyland.

8. If you could do a movie with anyone (living or brought back from the dead) who would it be?
Abraham Lincoln.  He’s tall and bearded. I think it would be hot to be molested by our 16th president.

9. Who is your favorite adult performer?
Can I say myself or is that immodest? I’m just going to say myself anyway.  Dana DeArmond.  830,000+ Myspace friends can’t be wrong!

10. You’ve got 20 bucks left to your name; what would you do with it?
Turn it into a magnet for other 20 dollar bills.  Duh.

11. If you were president, what’s the first thing you’d change?
I would have people need to get a license for having kids.  You need a license to cut hair in this country; it should be the same for breeding.  Pass the test and you can pop one out.  Fail and you have to go back to summer school.

12. What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done?
My very existence on this planet is pretty darn awkward.  I can’t pin point one thing. And if I could I wouldn’t want to repeat it.

13. Which is your favorite project that you’ve worked on?
I really enjoyed directing for Vivid Alt. Dana DeArmond Does The Internet and Dana DeArmond’s Role Modeling are still some of my most popular titles.  The fans love them and it makes me very happy because I put a lot of hard working directing and producing them.

14. If you could have 1 superpower what would it be?
Camera eyes.  I wish some of the shit I see was recorded with my eyes, saved on a chip in my brain and able to uploaded to YouTube.  That would be amazing.

15. Meat or veggie?
Square meals

16. What is your favorite book?
Not a big reader.  Does “the internet” count as a book?

17. What is your biggest pet peeve?
Lately is text spelling.  “u” for “you” “r” for “are”  HATE IT.

18. What is your best piece of sex advice for women?
Know thy self

19. What is your favorite adult movie?
The mainstream movie Secretary, I consider it porn.

20. Tell me one thing you’ve never told anyone else.
If I haven’t told anybody, it’s probably a secret.  Sorry.

I can’t decide whether I want to throw up on my shoes or sprout wings and fly… Jiz Lee, Courtney Trouble and I are running past the front entrance of the Palms Hotel and Casino, exactly three minutes late for the red carpet and the excitement is palpable. Tonight is such a big night and we have spent the last two hours gearing up for our shining moment. I’m wearing a sculptural black strapless mini dress and 6 inch heels, Jiz is in pinstripe pants and chaps and Courtney is looking fierce in a black striped dress with a gold bolero jacket and perfect make-up. And we match. Black and gold, all. Black because we are artists and gold because we are fucking stars. And yes, it’s worth cussing about because life at this moment is very, very good.

We make it to the line up inside a side room at The Palms and breathe a deep sigh of relief. In line is April Flores, looking outrageous in a pink latex confection. She hands me a bottle of snapple mixed with vodka and bless her, I take a swig to soothe my nerves. We made it – in more ways than one; to the venue, to the AVNs and to points in our careers that we each never fully allowed ourselves to dream of. When I did my first scene five years ago, I was just exploring a side of my sexuality and identity that was performative. I had no idea if people would like it. When Courtney started, she just wanted to make authentic and hot queer porn. And Jiz? Well she is just a badass, I guess we all are, we all have been and being here feels like a surreal moment of being cognizant of that.

In line, we are surrounded by other badasses. Joanna Angel and the Burning Angel crew are right behind us looking tattooed, fierce and sexy. Jenna Haze passes us in line and Belladonna and Bobbi Starr soon do the same. Up ahead is the press junket, a long line of camera flashbulbs and correspondents with microphones firing questions. We walk and pose, walk and pose and Jiz and Courtney flank me, two of the sexiest “shortys” I have ever had the pleasure of posing next to. This year the red carpet is running much more smoothly than years past, no one is fighting, a few attitudes are thrown around but hey, this is porn after all and attitudes often inform conceptualizations of sex appeal.

In addition to the quick walk, the lovely set-up and the different location, this year the AVNs have added a “Twitter Pit,” a group of Twitterers brought together for the sole purpose of tweeting about the event and hopefully getting it to trend on Twitter. In the pit are some of our queer porn loving buddies and high on the energy of the red carpet, we decide to pull a little stunt. Well, not so little actually; it is Jiz Lee’s strapped Outlaw cock and she unbuckles her chaps and I whip it out as we all pose for a few more pictures, introducing the AVN world and cyberspace to just how the Queer Porn Mafia does things.

We are able to keep our fun going outside as well because another new feature of the red carpet is the fan strip that winds outside the main building and back inside to the theater in order to give the fans some face time. To me, this part was even better than the paparazzi portion. The fans are so pumped to see everyone and nearly all of them have a camera phone or disposable camera out to capture the moment. Our cohort of five which includes the talented and very kind Carlos Batts, is hamming it up and I am mesmerized by everything from the screaming fans to the shiny leopard print pants of the luscious-bottomed woman in front of me. By the time we reach the holding area, where we wait for 45 mins for the awards hall to open, I am in need of a deep breath and something to drink.

The holding area is another world entirely, blanketed in walls of silver streamers, floors shaking with the force of the hip hop the dj is spinning from the platform in the back. To write about it is to get name-droppy because there are literally tens of porn stars wandering about. Manuel Ferrara buys me a drink and Dana DeArmond expresses her affection for Courtney and I just kind of stand there giggling like a ninny. Sometimes my life is so surreal that it borders on ridiculous. Eventually we funnel into the theater and I pause to take in the beautiful set-up. The Palms Theater is much smaller than last year’s Mandalay Bay venue and I prefer it. The stage is closer, the floor smaller and the whole gathering feels more intimate and inclusive.

Jiz and I manage to sneak seats in the section with Good Releasing and convince Wolf Hudson, one of my favorite guys, to come down from his section to sit with us too. The awards move along at a quick clip once they begin and the comedian pseudo-hosting the event with Kirsten Price and Kayden Kross; Dave Attell, is hilarious. His offensive jokes are the kind that you feel terrible about laughing at but laugh in spite of yourself. When he riffs on audience members, the whole place erupts. Jokes are always great for breaking initial nervous tension but I, for one, am still a bit jittery. I don’t remember from previous experience all the awards they actually announce. There are so many categories, they only present a tiny fraction but I’m interested to see which ones. As the opening credits play what do I see but SCENES FROM CHAMPION. Holy geez. Jiz, Courtney and I all start hollering and it feels like victory.

I will spare you from the actual details of each category and win; Sasha Grey rocked it out with three wins, including a nod for her Jenna Jameson Crossover Star of the Year award and the lovely and deserving Kimberly Kane won Best Actress. We, however, did not win anything and each of our awards were not in the portion that got announced. I slowly came to realize what I think I already knew… it seems the studios with the bucks and the advertising dollars get the actual award nods. Which makes sense, but I think still I harbored little nuggets of hope that queer porn slivers would slice through with their sheer awesomeness.

The awards were about three and a half hours long. Much longer than they needed to be but still very entertaining and full of high moments like Belladonna’s dance number, choreographed by John Stagliano. The costumes were g-string over white lycra dance pants. Hoy. So hot. It was also fun to see all the dresses and notice that the male porn star dress code appears to be the un-tucked shirt, which I found fascinating.

And as our eyes began to droop and April Flores and I planned the meal we would need to quell our hunger directly post-show, we got our flash moment revive us. The AVN Awards had awarded us Most Outrageous Red Carpet Moment! Amazing. I felt momentarily revived and filled with a bit more hope. This year, nominations, next year, awards! At the risk of being cliché, I thought to myself, Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither will the Queer Porn Empire. We have been constructing our work and making names for many many years and the journey will continue. I think I speak for all of us at this year’s awards when I express our gratitude and appreciation for the nominations. And the appreciation I personally felt after the ceremony when we found an all night diner in The Palms.

As we ate our burgers and Jiz got her Hawaiian eggs (intriguing, I know), we made plans for the rest of the night. With so many parties, where did we end up? That, my friends, is a story and then some, a tale for another time and one the Queer Porn Mafia have made a vow to never tell (though if you follow us on twitter you may see hints about it) and will take away with us along with all the other brilliant moments of the AVNs 2010. See you next year.

- Dylan Ryan

Dylan Ryan is the femme fatale of your dreams.  Dealing in high heels and high IQs, this brainy beauty gets you hot and bothered as soon as she hits the screen, then grabs the reigns as a social work student fighting for sex workers’ rights.  How freakin’ sexy is that?!  Part of the San Francisco porn posse, Dylan makes some of the most exciting and engaging queer porn out there!
