“I never would’ve thought when I got in that I would be on the level of getting a Fleshlight.”
It turns out the biggest day of Vanna Bardot’s career got even better after the 2024 AVN Awards Show ended.
The newly crowned AVN Female Performer of the Year reveals that during her post-show celebration at Fontainebleau Las Vegas in January that she received exciting news from Vixen Media Group co-owner and executive producer, Mike Miller.
She’s getting a Fleshlight.
“We all went out after and Miller told me it’s officially happening,” Bardot says. “So it was a very sweet night.”
Bardot could not have scripted the evening of Saturday, January 27th much better if she tried.
The Miami native waltzed into the 41st annual AVN Awards ceremony at Resorts World with nominations in several major categories and high hopes for some new hardware.
By the time she left the building she had collected four individual trophies—Best Anal Sex Scene for her first anal, Best Double-Penetration Sex Scene for her first DP, and her record third consecutive award for Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene, in addition to her Female Performer of the Year triumph.
Her VMG star showcase, Influence: Vanna Bardot, also won the Mark Stone Award for Outstanding Comedy.
Then before the night was over she realized her dream of having her own signature toy line.
“It’s so crazy. I never would’ve thought when I got in that I would be on the level of getting a Fleshlight,” Bardot says. “All the Fleshlight Girls are like huge deals.
“It’s the top of the top in the industry, so it’s something I didn’t really dream of until maybe like a year ago like once I had my showcase confirmed.
“I was like OK, maybe this could put me in a good position for getting Performer of the Year or a Fleshlight—or potentially both. It was only about a year ago where I was like maybe this is something I could really do.”
The Austin, Texas-based Interactive Life Forms will launch the Vanna Bardot Fleshlight line on May 27, rolling out the Dopamine, which is her replica vagina, and the Oxytocin, which is modeled after her butt.
The 25-year-old star named the products herself.
“I already had these names in mind a while ago—if I ever got a Fleshlight,” Vanna confesses. “Dopamine is the reward chemical in the brain and oxytocin is the love chemical.”
