FEATURE
have a 3D scanning booth for our Print Your Porn Star line of
collectible 3D printed figurines. Not only can you buy figurines
of your favorite Wicked Girls here at the show, you can also be
scanned yourself to have a figurine of yourself to be paired up
with the Wicked Girl of your choice. Those figurine sets will be
the ultimate fan-engagement collectible. The full-size figurine,
about 6 inches, is $70, and we have Pops, the small figurines,
which are $10 apiece or if you want all three Wicked Girls at
once we can bundle three Pops for $25. For hand-painted resin
figurines this is really a good deal.”
Asa Akira, Stormy Daniels, Jessica Drake and Axel Braun
Productions contract star Riley Steele all appeared at the
booth. “We’re out here in the main hall so I don’t get to see
what’s going on inside, but I did walk through earlier and it
looks super-busy. Fans are out in full force,” Drake said.
In Artist Hall, performer Kayden Kross was signing at the
Yummi booth. “I’m doing a lot of Trenchcoatx right now,” she
told AVN. “I have one launching this Friday. It stars Katrina
Jade in a ritualistic, dark, slow burn of a film. What’s unique
about it is I brought her real-life husband in. He’s a 6-foot-
5 guy, heavily tattooed, and they’re really into the BDSM
lifestyle. It was the first time they’d done that.”
Adam & Eve is operating a store in Artist Hall, PR director
Katy Zvolerin said. “We have a variety of toys, lingerie, some
accessories and some enhancements this year. We have Nina
Hartley signing as well as Anikka Albrite and Sara Luvv from
our big blockbuster, Babysitting the Baumgartners.”
Performer Small Hands reflected on the Burning Angel
booth. “It’s going pretty damn well. … The booth is good,
and this is also the first year of Burning Angel VR, so we have
another booth over there as well. We’re taking over this year.”
Also in Artist Hall were various booths featuring adult stars,
including Vicky Vette and her VNA girls, Galaxy Publicity,
Fleshlight, Inked Angels and She-Male Strokers/RodnieVision.
AVN had its own area for talent, and the space was packed
with AVN Award-nominated stars. Gia Paige, Chanel Preston,
Kasey Warner, Zoey Monroe, Aubrey Kate, Jenna Sativa, A.J.
Applegate, Jillian Janson, Jodi West, Karlee Grey and Charlotte
Stokely were among the top stars at the booth. And male
talent came on strong too, with Mick Blue, Ryan Driller,
Derrick Pierce, Lexington Steele, Small Hands, Xander Corvus,
Jason Brown, Moe Johnson and others signing for fans.
Exhibiting for the second time with Girlsway/Gamma Films,
writer/producer Bree Mills said, “We have models signing all
this week. They bring in the crowds. Occasionally I get a fan,
but it’s only occasional. We have a few ambitious projects this
year: We’re going to be doing two big feature movies. We’re
doing a mini-series every month that we release online and on
DVD, and those are written and directed by Stills by Alan, my
creative partner in this project. He’s doing amazing things. I
took the creative training wheels off and he’s, like, gone. He’s
doing awesome stuff. I’m also going to do co-productions with
some interesting and influential producers.”
Mills added, “It’s been interesting to see some of the
creativity of some of the big booths, and some of the glitz and
the glam that’s gone into a few of the studios, but you know
what, it speaks to that there’s a need for it, and so I’m really
happy to see investment going back into these events. There
were a good few years where it was like, ‘Ah, the trade show is
dead,’ but no, it’s clear that it’s very much not dead.”
