XRCO Part 2
More Awards, Hotties at the Bar and Beer
After the first few awards I sat down with Wayne Hentai who was in a booth with Tommy Gunn and his girl Ashlynn Brooke. She really is gorgeous. There was also a great looking woman named Priya? Perhaps it was Priva, it was hard to hear. With my beer running low I made my way to the other side of the hall to listen to the next few awards. Kaylani Lei was named Best Comeback. Good choice there. Shyla and Monique probably gave her a run for her money, but it is hard to argue with Kaylani winning anything and everything. While I was standing back there I talked with Terry from TheFloatingWorld.com. We talked business for a while. I only see Terry at the events and we always talk about working together on projects. One of these days we’re going to follow through on that.
MILF of the Year went to Kylie Ireland. It’s pretty hard to argue against that pick. Kylie is still a star and not reserved to just MILF genre flicks. Alana Evans is another strong performer in the category and I enjoyed seeing Kelly Madison nominated. She’s a hottie who gets overlooked far too often. Hillary Scott, who won more trophies last year than anyone in the history of the XRCO Awards, took home the title as Orgasmic Analist. She’s tough to beat in just about any category but had some stiff competition. Jenna Haze denied Hillary a sweep by taking home Orgasmic Oralist this year. We all the love way Jenna sucks cock, but I was shocked that Annette Schwarz wasn’t on the list. No one sucks cock with better deep throat right now than Annette. (Mika Tan and Kimberly Kane are close though.)
With my drink empty, I headed back over to the bar to add another beer to the collection. I ran into Sunny Lane who was looking as cute as ever. She’s doing a new show with Wankus and asked if I would be interested in a call in review segment like we did when she was at KSEX. Of course I’m interested. I get to sit in my chair and talk on the phone about porn. Not a bad gig. While we were talking, Flower Tucci came up behind us. Ironically enough, I used to do a call in show with Flower when she was at KSEX. Personally I think that a show where I site between Sunny and Flower and just drool might be in order. While I was dreaming of sexual perversion, James Deen and Joanna Angel were taking home the award for Best On-Screen Chemistry. Another solid pick, though Shay Jordan and Scott Nails were tough competition in that one.
Dissed a bit for the oral award, Annette picked up her win as Superslut. That’s a great category for raincoater porn fans and Annette certainly earned it this year.
I was standing over near the bar when I was introduced to Rachel Milan and Maya Mason. They were incredibly charming and somehow in my drunken haze I got into a discussion of ethnic porn with these two hot babes. Maya is an interesting mix and gets labeled most often as black. Rachel is in every possible Latin line though she’s not even remotely Hispanic. So instead of snapping photos and enjoying two fun and eager future supersluts, I was busy discussing the unusual casting decisions in porn. (Yeah, someone kick me in the ass.) I did manage to get some pictures of Rachel with her sister Priscilla once we were able to pull sis away from her man Talon. There are a couple of pictures of the two women together that I think you will enjoy.
Back on stage, Bree Olson (Who STILL hadn’t emailed to get her RogReviews.com trophy) was picking up her award as Cream Dream. Like Hillary last year, Bree is collecting a whole bunch of awards and certainly worked hard for them. The single-performance acting awards weren’t exactly shockers. Randy Spears one for the 84th time for his role in Black Widow. Eva Angelina was great in Upload and she deserved to win for that fine performance.
Jules Jordan took three awards this year. Ass Worship took top honors as Best Gonzo Series and Flesh Hunter 10 was named Best Gonzo Release. Jules was named Best Director- Non Feature for his body of work. It’s still Jules Jordan’s world and the rest of us are just living in it. Belladonna’s Fucking Girls 4 was named Best All-Girl release. In an interesting vote, InTERActive was named Best POV release. I loved InTERActive as an interactive movie, but POV Pervert 9 was my pick for best all sex movie of the year and it was a true POV release. Since there isn’t an interactive category it is nice to see this movie get recognized, but it was still an unusual choice.
Best Feature Director went to Stormy and Brad Armstrong. A tie for top honors is pretty rare. A tie between two companies who work for the same company is nearly unheard of. Neither of them were behind the camera for either Best Comedy, Best Epic or Best Release. One would think that they might score one of the three. Not the Brady’s XXX took home the award for Best Comedy. I’ll bet that was a close race with Operation Desert Stormy. Eli Cross’ Upload was named Best Epic while Digital Playground scored a bit win with Best Release doing to Babysitters.
Charles Dera was named New Stud and Bree Olson made it nearly a clean sweet by winning as New Starlet. I would love to have seen Shay Jordan sneak in there and get recognition, but Bree is a very solid choice. The Unsung awards went the Roxy DeVille and James Deen. Nice calls there. For Male and Female Performer of the year we got Evan Stone and Sasha Grey. With the nominees favoring feature guys over gonzo performers I was expecting to see Manuel Ferrara take the trophy. Sasha was strong and deserves a win as well. (Though Gianna still hasn’t won and that’s just a crime.)
After the awards were over I wandered around and ran into Van Styles. “Hey Rog, you like Asian girls a little right?” He asked trying not to laugh at the rather absurd nature of his rhetorical question. Leading me over towards the stage he introduced me to a brand new girl named Asa Akira. She is brand spanking new and only working for Vouyer Media and Wicked Pictures for the time being. Asa is stunning folks, totally beautiful and absolutely ready to be a star. It was tough to hear over the music, but we had a bit of a conversation. Apparently my reaction to her was apparent. She pressed close as we took a picture and said “So you like Asian girls huh? Good because I love white guys.” True or not, I was already so in love that I was making plans. Aurora Snow is already in line to be the next Mrs. Rog, but after she dumps me and Shay Jordan becomes Mrs Rog III, Asa is definitely in line.
I tore myself away from the lovely Asa to get some work done and to make sure she didn’t feel the need to file a restraining order. I found a quiet place and interviewed Ryder Skye. She is an interesting and beautiful young woman who calls herself a pro-porn feminists. She certainly has the intellectual chops to back that up. We had to address why she was absent early in the show. Due to present the first few awards, she didn’t make it on stage. Though Gianna filled in nicely, her absence was noticed. I tried to help her come up with some good excuses, but she kept insisting that she was just doing interviews and missed her call. By the end of the interview I think I got her leaning more towards a celebrity three way in the bathroom. That’s a much better porno answer.
Tim Von Swine was next for an interview. We have been talking about doing this for years and finally got it done. It was a quick interview, but he had plenty to say lashing out at a few people along the way. Tim is working with Mike John right now and has a lot to be happy about it. I’ll try to get both of these interviews up and ready to go soon.
Not wanting to finish my night with a dude, I grabbed a final beer and found Van Styles talking with my girl again. This time we got to chat a bit more. I found out that Asa is from Brooklyn and we talked for fifteen minutes or so about NYC. It’s been five years since I went back there to do Naked New York, but those two trips back there are among my favorites. I’m even more impressed with her than I was at first glance. Hopefully her first couple of movies will hit the shelves soon. In the meantime I have some nice photos for you to enjoy.
After the show, I headed over to Mel’s diner for a late night milkshake while everyone sobered up. I sat with Mark Davis, April Storm, Monstar, Mike Moz and a guy from Club Jenna. Mel’s makes great milk shakes and it was the perfect way to wrap up the night. Monstar and April among my oldest and closest friends in the industry and they did a great job on the XRCO Awards. I had never met Mike before and we had a good laugh over the fact that at one time his wife Stormy was convinced that I called her fat. (Never did, but it makes it fun to joke about now.) We all had a great time and finally broke things up about three am. I still had a nice drive home so I headed south and got home at around 4. Long, late night, but it was a great time. No drama just good friends, beautiful women, beer, great food and a few pictures. I hope you enjoyed this recap and the photos.
