Erotica LA June 12-14, 2009

June 21st, 2009

The Erotica LA Expo was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center.  This 3 day event was smaller than in previous years, because of what could be the worse economic recession in U.S. history.  The adult industry has taken a major blow in recent times not only because of the economy, but also due to piracy and all the free stuff on the web.  Because of this many major companies did not participate this year.

One talent agency worth mentioning is LA Direct.  LA Direct occupied a couple of booths and drew huge crowds with adult stars Kagney Linn Karter, Tori Black, Tori Lane, Alanah Rae, Phoenix Marie, Kayla Carrera, Lexi Belle, Brynn Tyler, Alexis Texas, and Ashli Orion.  LA Direct played a major role in the success of this year’s expo with its contributions.  Thanks Derrick.

F.A.M.E had a great booth with Kayden Kross, Bree Olson, Teagan Pressley, Eva Angelina, Angelina Armani, Devon Lee, Marcus London, Mr Pete and Claudia Valentine.  Eric John’s booth had Jessica Bangkok, Ana Marie Rios, Prinzzess, Lupe Fuentes, Daryl Hannah and Lacey Lane.  Clip4Sale had Ashly Fires, Mei Lelani and Cindy Hope.  Cindy Hope is worth mentioning, because of her natural beauty.  She is from Hungry and is represented by LA Direct.  I will not be surprise if she becomes the next big star here in the U.S.   Joanna Angel who is huge the in the Alt biz, brought out her Burning Angel crew.

The big production companies, such as Wicked, Jules Jordan, and Evil Angel gets the most fan fare.  With long lines, fans waited awhile to see Stormy Daniels, Jessica Drake, Kaylani Lei, Kirsten Price, Alektra Blue, Mikayla Mendez, Jenna Haze, and Belladonna.  I usually hit these booths early or late or not at all because of the long wait.  Missing this year was Vivid, but Vivid Contract Stars Sunny Leone and Monique Alexander decided to share their own booth.  This was especially nice because of the short lines.  As an added bonus with Sunny’s boyfriend Dirty, the lead guitarist of the Spyderz, was is a super cool and nice guy.

Saturday evening The F.A.M.E. Awards were held inside the Expo.  The biggest and brightest star came out to attend this event.  Bree Olson won the Twistys Treat of the Year, www.twistys.com, and was presented with a check for $10,000.  Thanks Sean & Beth for being a sponsor.

In summary, I want to thank the people at AVN for putting on a great event.  And also, to the many people who supports this fabulous industy with their time and effort for little or no pay, but most importantly to the fans who loves everything about this industry.

Pop diva Gemini had a birthday party at the Area Nightclub in Los Angeles and it was attended by all of the beautiful people in the entertainment industry.  The nightclub is located a few minutes away from the famed Hollywood Boulevard on La Cienaga, which is known for its trendy restaurants.  Area is a well known watering hole for the new age entertainment people who don’t want to hassle the scene in Hollywood.

The man running the red carpet for the evening was Eric Zuley aka EZ.  EZ runs a successful multi-fasciated public relation firm with a slogan “There no I in team but a W in We What U Need, When U Need It!  One stop solves your every need.  You want it, we got it.”  EZ simply gets the job done.  He is well known in the music industry and  pays special attention to his clients  needs and wants.  If you need his very special skills and delivers, get in touch with Eric Zuley at www.wtvonline.net

Erotica LA Expo June 12 -14, 2009

May 27th, 2009

Come one, come all, well you will have to be at least eighteen years old.  Mark your calendar, the Erotica LA Expo is coming to the Los Angeles Convention Center.  In this slow economy, you will get the most bang for your buck at this expo.  Bring your camera and lots of film, flash cards etc., you know what I mean.  Plan to stay the whole day and come up with some sort of strategy.  What you don’t want is to wait in long line to see your favorite talent. 

This is what I do.  I usually attend all three days.  The girls are constantly rotating, so I get there early.  I hit the booths with the shortest or no lines.  I walk around looking for photo opportunities, for example if the Wicked Pictures booth is empty, take advantage of it, if I see somebody walking around I ask for a picture.  Attend the F.A.M.E. Awards on Saturday.  Check out the adult products, get an autograph of my favorite star, and get all the free give away stuff.

A serious note to industry people and industry newbies.  This expo is for the fans.  The fans support the industry.  PLEASE DON’T WASTE TIME TRYING TO IMPRESS THE TALENT ESPECIALLY WHEN THE LINES ARE LONG.  Serious business is conducted with the talent agent.  This sort of behavior will only piss off  the talent.  The talent and fans will appreciate it. 

At this time the hottest girl in porn is Sasha Grey.  This multi-talented girl of twenty years old is on the verge of super stardom.  Lately, she has done alot of main stream stuff.  This just might be the last time you will see her up and close.

Recap.  Plan your strategy, take alot of pics, take advantage of all of the free stuff, get your autograph and picture of yourself with your favorite star.

Enjoy the pics from last year’s expo.  Visit my website at www.emmpopshots.com

Get Together Hosted By Justin Syder 5/9/09

May 13th, 2009

How would you like to go to your local club, have a few drinks, listen to some hard rock, and see some hot girls bare it all?  When Justin Syder throws a little get together, that’s what you get.  On Saturday, May 9th, Justin invited some of his friends to the Dragonfly in Hollywood to get some footage for his next project.  The Dragonfly is a real cool place to hang out.  Crowded, but not too crowded where you can’t move around and the people were really laid back.  The patio in the back created a nice atmosphere for a great evening.

 

Justin Syder, has been in the adult industry for a while. In the past, Justin has thrown some great parties at the Blue Moon in North Hollywood.  A talented person, Justin has started up his own production company.  This ex-professional boxer may look intimidating but he is a super cool guy.

 

Entertainment: Live music by Switch Blade Kitty.  Hot girl band with some solid lyrics.

 

Special notes.  I met Eve Batelle a couple weeks ago at the Clips4Sale.com party at the Blue Moon.  Eve is a great gal with a fantastic personality.  This Southern California girl has a down home warmth about her.  Eve has an entertainment company called So Cals Angels, at www.socalsangels.com, providing erotic dancing for private parties and events.

 

Check out the brunette in the red dress.  Her name is Raven Alexis.  Not only is a knock out gorgeous but she has a keen business sense.  She doesn’t have an agent and is doing quite well for herself as a model and adult talent. She has her own production company, and multiple websites.  Google her and check her out.

 

New to the adult industry is Mixi.  I’ve seen her around at the XRCO Awards and at Jayden Jaymes and Craven Moorehead birthday party.

 

In attendance were Tatum Pierce, Lana Phoenix, Mixi, Eve Batelle, Raven Alexis, Dia Zerva, Marina Maywood, Layla Jade, Julz Cee, Max Mikita, Madgalene, Lou of CreepsSellingGarbage.com and Zander Kane.

FreeOnes.com Party 3/29/09

April 6th, 2009

FreeOnes.com hosted a private event to anyone who RSVP in advance.  Just send out a RSVP email and you were on the  guest list to one of the most exclusive adult events of the year.  Sound like a slam dunk, at least on paper.  Platinum Live in Studio City provided the venue and LA Direct Models provided the adult stars. 

The stars came out in FORCE.  There were probably more talent at this event than at AdultCon.  On a large stage, Kagney Linn Karter, Angelina Valentine, Sienna West, Shawna Lenee, Sara Stone and Tory Lane gave unforgetable solo stage performances with a grand finale that kept me awake to the end.

One thing happened, that nobobdy expected.  The fans, the web surfers did not show up in numbers.  So, it turned out to be one hell of an adult party.  A party that I never experienced before.  You see, at a private guest only party, the girls had more freedom for self expression, ie. nudity and swapping of spit.  I didn’t have to fight with the crowds with their camera phones and point-and-shoot cameras which takes a day and a half to take one picture.   The only drawback there were too many girls to photograph.  At the end of the evening, totally exhausted I ended up shooting over 3,000 pictures.  See you at the next Blue Moon Party.

In attendance, were Alanah Rae, Alice Bell, Alyssa Reece, Angelina Ash, Anita Blue, Barrett Blade, Brittaie Lane, Brynn Tyler Codi Carmichael, Claudia Valentine, Dani Jensen, Devon Lee, Holly Heart, Jazy Berlin, Jayden Jaymes, Jessica Jamez, Jordan Kingsley, Kagney Linn Karter, Kayla Carrera, Kiara Dinae, Krystal Steal, Layla Rivera, Lexxi Tyler, Lisa DeMarco, Louisa Lanewood, Madelyn Marie, Magdalene, Marcos Banderas, Marcus London, Mia Lalani, Misty Anderson, Mya Luanna Nikki Benz, Penny Flame, Phoenix Marie, Puma Swede, Prodigy, Raquel Sieb, Renee Perez, Roxy Jezel, Ruby Rayes, Sara Stone, Shawna Lenee, Shy Love, Tee Reel, Tommy Gunn, Tory Lane, Trina Michaels, and Vanessa Leon.

Immoral Productions DVD Release Party 3/5/09

March 8th, 2009

For the past eighteen months, Porno Dan has played host to monthly adult industry parties at the Blue Moon in North Hollywood, and has build a reputation for throwing some real wild events.  So, when the rumors started circulating Dan was cooking up his best party ever for Immoral Productions 4 Title DVD Release, we knew this would be extra special.  Dan hired Jim Powers’ punk rock legend band Kilroy and Juan Cuba’s band Los Ramones to provide the music.  Also adult star Kiara Dinae brought her sexy go-go dancers to keep eyes and pocket rockets from going to sleep.  Immoral Productions also teamed up with King Ryan Events, one of LA’s top event promoters.  From personal experience, I attend alot of Ryan’s events, and the man has game.

Immoral Productions has an aggressive schedule to release 9 more DVD titles in Blue Ray.  The titles of this current releases are Fxxk A Fan, Cum Hunters, Blow Job Winners and Hand Job Winners.  With those titles, everybody is a winner.

Back to the party.  When I got there around 9:15, people were waiting anxiously to get in.  The cold weather probably had to do something with it.  I parked myself next to Rick in front of the red carpet.  At the Blue Moon, the red carpet is held in a secure area reserved only for media and invited guest.  As expected, the usual adult early birds were there, but I noticed some new faces, alot of new faces.  I had to pull out my pen to write down names.  A couple of newbies were in town from Texas, a few were mainstream models, and alot were in the music industry.  I don’t if Immoral Productions and King Ryan Events planned on bring in such a diverse crowd, but everything was cool.

There were so many new faces, it was impossible to get all of names who attended, so I am going to stick with the ones I know.  They were Jaylyn Rose, Raqual Sieb, Penny Flame, Ron Jeremy, Kiara Dinae, Angelina Armani, Meggan Mallone, Mai Lelani, Brynn Tyler, Darryl Hannah, Cece Stone, Aurora Jolie, Monstar, Ami Emerson, Elizabeth Star, Tommy Gunn, Lacy Lane, Hayden Field, Amy Starz, Zander Kane and Robert Rhine of Girls and Corpses magazine.  I will have to ask Gordo to identify the others.

Alanah Rae – Beauty Holds No Boundry

March 2nd, 2009

img_1641d

 I first saw her at a King Ryan Event in November 2008, then I saw her at another.  Alanah and Ryan are good friend, so if Ryan has an event mostly likely you will see her.  Alanah has a great smile, a sweet personality, and a killer body.  She looked great for the 2009 XBiz Awards when she wore a tangerine color dress.   A very approachable person, she handles the demands of the  press very well.  I caught up with her the other day to get some information for this biography.

This statuesque blond was born on February 9, 1988 in Freehold, New Jersey.  Alanah always wanted to become an actress and dancer, so at a young age she set sail on her lifelong quest.    For a few years, Alanah worked her way across the country as an exotic dancer.  Los Angeles is her home now, because mainstream acting is her ultimate goal.  Alanah got into the adult industry after she arrived in Los Angeles about a year ago.  LA Direct is her agent and so far she has done 15 movies, two box covers with Rain Coater’s Point of View 9 being her first.  Alanah has worked with Naughty America, Diabolic, Evil Angel, Digital Sin, Red Light District, Zero Tolerance and 3rd Degree to name a few.  Alanah admitted she misses dancing and maybe one day return as a feature dancer.

Listed below are her movie titles that are available at XRentDvd.com

My Sister’s Hot Friend 15, I Love Big Toys 17, All Alone 4, Rain Coater’s Point of View 9, Blow Me Sandwich #13, Work It Work It Get It #2, and Tease Before The Please #3.

Lucky Devil Entertainment Host DVD Release Party 2/28/09

March 1st, 2009

Harley & Adie Fire hosted a small intimate party at Cinespace on Saturday.  Putting on a party, large or small, takes alot of efffort.  Dealing with the guest list, venue, interviews and all the small detail didn’t leave Harley much time to relax.  Harley and his Lucky Devil Entertainment produces adult movies and a tv show called Harleyxxxtv at www.harleysxxxxtv.com .  The party was dubbed ‘Stripwars / The Pornstar Invasion DVD Release Party’, but I didn’t see the strippers.  I was told they were in the house, but I guess they blended into the club atmosphere and partied the night away.  Everything was cool, because it gave an opportunity to interview Alanah Rae for a future article of ‘Adult Talent Bios’ and get to chat with Monica Foster www.MonicaF.com .

In attendance were Alanah Rae, Desi Foxx, Eli Foxx, Monica Foster, Magdalene and Zander Kane.

Priya Rai’s Web Site Launch Party 2/27/09

February 28th, 2009

The last time, I saw Priya was on the red carpet at the 2008 AVN Awards.  At Ritual in Hollywood, there were some many beautiful girls, I was already in a vertigo before Priya walked the red carpet.  Totally blown away by her beauty.  Priya is an exotic beauty of Eastern Indian descent.  Like Frieda Pinto, Slumdog Millionaire, it is hard to pin point the ethnicity of Eastern Indian women.

In typical fashion, King Ryan Events hosted an awesome event.  Ryan draws almost a cult like following of people to his events, and the VIP area was in a grid lock.  Shifty Shellshock performed his hit song ‘Butterfly’ onstage with Priya and Jessica Young dancing.

Now, I will try to name the talent who attended.  Michelle Maylene, Megan Young, new to the biz, Harley & Adie Fire, Kora Cummings, Porno Dan, Jaelyn Fox, Erin Tietsort, Jessica Young, Bailey Brooks, Raqual Sieb, Alanah Rae, Britney Stevens, Shawna Lenee, Nick Manning, Brooke Belle, Claudia Valentine, James Bartholet, Lisa DeMarco, Marco Banderas, Jason Sinclair, Mr. Pete, Shayne Ryder and Ami Emerson.

Priya’s Official website is www.priyaanjalirai.com

King Ryan’s website is www.kingryanevents.com

Meggan Mallone – A Vivid Fun Girl

February 27th, 2009

img_9297d1

She’s gorgeous, energetic, and playful.  Oh, I forgot, she’s also a Vivid contract star.  Meggan is a girl with many funny and wacky faces, and that’s what I love about her.  You just don’t know what to expect.  Be alert and don’t let her catch you with your pants down, because you can miss the photo of the evening.

I photographed Meggan last year, when she teamed up with Briana Banks to appear on stage for Vivid’s comedy night with comedians Rick Shapiro, Taylor Negron, Lynn Shawcroft and Nadine Rajabi.  About six months later, I was suprised to see at a party hosted by King Ryan Events.  So far this year, I have spotted her at a Vivid party in Las Vegas, Ami Emerson’s birthday, Mr. Pete’s birthday, Official XBiz Conference party and Vivid’s Gallery: 25 Year On Top reception.  I guess she caught up for lost time.

Meggan was borned on December 30, 1986 in Houston Texas.  She is of Cherokee and Irish-German descent.  Meggan’s mother is a full-blooded Cherokee from Oklahoma and gave her the Indian name “Moonstar”. 

While researching this article, Meggan was a mainstream fashion model during high school.  Now, I know why all of my shots are fantastic.  And I thought, it was my photography abilities, wrong.  So, photography guys, if you see at an event, don’t pass her by, or else you might not see her for another six months.
