WHO’S WHO
BBW Boss
Hustler teams up with Eliza Allure to explore new niche
Butterfly and Bella Bendz to come to Las Vegas.
I had Christian XXX involved. He was the male
talent. We shot three scenes and put up all the
money for it and I showed it to Hustler. They
loved the content and they said, ‘Let’s talk.’”
The upshot, Allure said, is that she will be
shooting quarterly now for Hustler. “They
said that’s more than they shoot some of their
other niches, like Asian girls. So it’s a really big
step. Hustler only produces a certain number
of DVDs per year and we’re taking four spots.
That’s a really big deal. I will be overseeing
everything from who’s in it, wardrobe, camera
angles. Hustler will have their own crew there
but I’m pretty much in charge of everything. And
I’ve worked really well with their crew before
so I know they’re really smart people. It’s just
teaching them how to shoot BBWs, basically.
And they get the benefit of also having me and
using my name as a producer/performer when
promoting the DVDs.”
The key to shooting any niche or fetish title
is to understand the audience’s needs and shoot
what they want to see. For Hustler, working with
Allure means they are aligned with a person
who lives the lifestyle and has the pulse of her
fans. “That’s obviously why I’m on the team
now,” Allure said, “because they want to do it
correctly. But there are studios like Score who
shoot XL girls. While they say they shoot BBWs
there’s only a very specific body type of BBW
that they shoot. …
“That is a formula I don’t want Hustler
following and that’s why it’s really smart that
they’re listening to me,” she continued. “Score
already has that niche covered: the guys who like
big boobs. They’re already doing that. Where
Hustler needs to be is for the true BBW lover,
giving them classy, beautiful, clean-looking,
wholesome women. I’m very specific as far as
what the girls wear, styling, everything like
that because I think it’s so important to [their]
image. … It’s just all about styling and it’s so
completely important to big girls especially, to
showcase our beauty in the right way.”
Smith, who brought the idea to Hustler’s
broadcast division, said they loved the idea,
and he believes it will do well on DVD. And its
internet division wants enough scenes compiled
to give the content its own landing page and
tour. “I have worked with Eliza for both BBW
films Hustler has produced to date,” Smith
says. “She brings great passion to her scenes
and to her promotion of the content. It seemed
a perfect fit to have her involved in future
productions for us as Eliza lives and breathes
BBW content. She’s constantly shooting fresh
material and involving herself with BBW events.
the BBW niche, they got off on the right foot
by joining forces with Eliza Allure. Earlier
When Hustler Video decided to dip its toe into
this year Hustler anointed Allure to creatively
oversee productions on one BBW-themed title
per quarter. Not only a two-time AVN Award
nominee for BBW Performer of the Year, Allure is also a leader in
the BBW community.
Allure’s sexual talents and business-like approach to her
scenes came to Hustler’s attention in its debut BBW release,
My First BBW. After Hustler Head of Production Rob Smith
developed a business relationship on set with Allure, he placed
his trust in her casting choices for Hustler’s second BBW release,
BBW Nurses. “I pretty much helped him choose who should be in
BBW Nurses. He really values my opinion and appreciates me and
my insight of the BBW niche.”
The producing relationship between Hustler and Allure
began with a phone call from Allure’s friend and mentor, Kari
“Platinum Puzzy” Anthony, in which Anthony suggested that
Allure express her feelings to Hustler about their BBW releases.
“So I called Hustler and let them know the content they produced
was not on par with what I thought Hustler should be doing for
BBW lovers,” says Allure. “They’re aiming more for a mainstream
audience, and there’s a large group of BBW lovers out there who
truly want to see HD content that’s produced for them of these
big girls.”
After that, Allure took the initiative and produced three
separate scenes with BBW talent. “I asked Alexxxis Allure, Becki

I can’t think of anyone more in touch with
BBW video. I trust her and look forward to our
partnership.”
The first release, tentatively titled BBW
Bosses, will feature Allure in a boy/girl scene.
“It was really funny because I was not going to
shoot a scene,” Allure says. “I was just going
to be overseeing everything. But Hustler said,
‘You should shoot a scene.’ So I’m going to be
shooting, as well as my girlfriends Alexxxis
Allure, Bella Bendz, Becki Butterfly and Lady
Lynn. The reason I picked these girls is because
they’re the ones who helped me get this
opportunity. Hustler likes to do things that
push the envelope a little bit. We’re going to be
talking about feminism and pay discrepancy and
women in the workplace.”
“I feel she will be greatly successful and help
move our whole industry forward,” said BBW
starlet Alexxxis Allure. “I think the world is
ready to see BBW porn in the same light as
mainstream, and they’ll be excited for beautiful,
real, sexy BBW models. I think the reason Eliza
is so successful as a performer and behind
the scenes is not just her obvious beauty and
passion. It’s also her inspirational dedication
to bettering the experience of models, and to
improve the end product.”
“The importance of this project is definitely
an all-time high, being that it is uncommon
for BBW stars to be in charge of creative and
production projects in the industry,” explained
Anthony. “This is a chance to prove through
our various talents that we are more than just a
‘niche.’”
Creatively, Allure believes there are many
opportunities to utilize BBWs in ways not seen
before. “Our market is so under-saturated that
there’s so many different things that guys would
like to see that have not been done. So that’s
where my focus is for sure.”
Ultimately, Allure hopes the mainstream
adult industry realizes big girls are sexy and are
here to stay. “I hope we see true BBWs in the
sense that they’re actually fat girls. That’s the
one thing I really applaud Hustler for. They’re
actually using girls who are really, really chubby
versus girls who have a little bit of a belly. If
other companies follow Hustler’s lead then that
would be fantastic. I’m thicker than most of
my girlfriends and I’m still able to book those
covers. I’m the biggest girl ever nominated for an
AVN Award. Every other BBW weighs 50 pounds
less than me. I really want to push the bounds of
shooting actual BBWs.”
