Adult brands put out
for the fans at the
AVN Show
HHarli Lotts ate plenty of salad and drank
a ton of water in preparation for the
biggest AVN week of her career, topped
by the AVN Awards Show, which she was
co-hosting with Angela White.
“Honestly, that’s all I did and I was just
trying to tell myself don’t fall on your
face wearing heels,” Lotts joked as she
and eight of her MyFreeCams sisters—
all of whom have graced the cover of
CAMStar magazine—joined AVN CEO
Tony Rios to cut the ceremonial ribbon
for the 2018 AVN Adult Entertainment
Expo (AEE) on January 24 at the Hard
Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
The star-studded lineup of MFC
models made for a historic occasion as
Aspen Rae, Avalynn Rose, Bailey Rayne,
Catjira, Jenny Blighe, HackerGirl, Miss
Molly and Scout teamed with Lotts to
kick off the AVN Expo in grand style.
As the presenting sponsor,
MyFreeCams increased its presence
at this year’s show with a sprawling
booth located in Muse Hall and another
in the entrance area. MyFreeCams,

GETTING EXPO-SURE
Fans were already lined up 90 minutes before the
first-day opening of the AVN Expo. Once through the
door, attendees could visit Muse Hall, Artist Hall and the
Evil Angel Joint (the concert venue transformed into a
meet-and-greet area for performers to meet their fans).
“The show seems to be getting larger the last two, three
years, and I hope it continues,” observed talent agent
Mark Spiegler.
Talent agencies represented in the Joint included
ATMLA, East Coast Talent, Foxxx Modeling, Ideal Image
Models, LA Direct Models, Matrix Models, Motley
Models, Nexxxt Level, OC Modeling, 101 Modeling,
Spiegler Girls, 360 Models, and the VIP Connect. And in
the very front of the hall, VOD giant AEBN had tables
set up where fans could interact with its roster of stars:
Alexa Grace, Allie Haze, Chloe Cherry, Darcie Dolce,
Lexi Belle, Maddy O’Reilly, Teagan Presley and Tiffany
Watson.
Production company Evil Angel had a corner booth in
front of the stage inside the Evil Angel Joint, equipped
with stanchions for queue control and a large video
screen visible throughout the room that announced
appearances by various performers, including Adriana
Chechik, Aubrey Kate, Cherie DeVille, Katrina Jade,
Natalia Starr and Ryan Conner. Production company
Girlsway had the other corner in front of the Joint
stage. “It’s our third year exhibiting,” writer/producer/
director Bree Mills told AVN. “It’s nice that each year
we’re having a larger presence. It’s always good to meet
the fans. Some of our most devoted fans are making
pilgrimages to meet us.”
Muse Hall was dominated by other big names in
adult, including Jules Jordan Video and Blacked/Tushy/
Vixen, as well as the Mindgeek family of brands. Many
of the top names in porn were at these booths. Jordan’s
dream team included Abella Danger, Abigail Mac,
