Another Exxxotica convention has come and gone, and last weekend I had the honor of partaking in the festivities. Chatting with some of the top talent and even being able to have some drinks with Brazzers contract director 'Just Dave' and my 'convention girlfriend', the beautiful and wonderful Miss Ashley Fires helped to make the Atlantic City convention a very memorable one for me. I attended the convention on Saturday, meeting up with fellow XCritic writer Rob perez.

What a night it was as the ignaural Fanny Awards took place during the 2013 EXXXotica Atlantic City Expo. Hundreds of performers filled the Grand Ballroom at the Trump Taj Mahal for an evening filled with hijanks, laughs, near-naked acrobatics courtesy of Digital Playground contract girl Stoya, and of course pornstars. But before the big night began they all strutted out in their best and sexiest outfits on the Fanny's Pink Carpet. Myself and Bobby Blake were on hand to capture the girls plus land exclusive video interviews and pictures of Kelly Shibari, Sara Jay and Stormy Daniels who came back to show off their Fannies.

It was another wild, debauchery filled day 2 at EXXXotica Atlantic City. Lines went around booths, the girls wore even less than legally possibly, and the atmosphere around the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel & Casino was one of excitement as everyone prepared for the evening's ignaural Fanny Awards. XCritic was there to cover the raucous activity taking place throughout the day. We'll have continuing coverage of EXXXotica AC, including exclusive, behind the scenes pictures and video interviews at the Fanny Awards. In the meantime, give your hand a workout and enjoy the pics below!

By Rob Perez

Celebrating it’s 10th year in existence, or “A Decade of Decadence,” the Cinekink Film Festival took place in New York City this past month for another weekend of sexually themed films that are not only meant to arouse and titilate, but also to recognize positivity in various depictions of kink in films. Films that wouldn’t normally be given the opportunity to be presented to the masses—for fear that they may be too sexual in nature—are featured that vary in genre, from fetish titles to pyschological heavy character studies, even documentaries that would be too risque to feature at your local movie theater.

2012 was a big year for the BBW porn market. More BBW films in a variety of categories (b/g, g/g, threeways, BDSM/Kink, etc.), were released than in previous years, and slowly but surely, you’re beginning to see BBWs featured in mainstream adult releases. A good example isSamanthan 38G, Alex Chance and Beverly Paige in Girlfriends Films’ Lesbian Love Connections, and even Kelly Shibari was featured prominently in a non-sex role alongside AVN Performer of the Year Asa Akira in Wicked’s Summer Lovin’, which was released earlier this month. Speaking of Kelly, her film

How would you describe 2012, professionally?

It’s been pretty crazy for me. I would say intense too. I got out of my contract (with Vivid) and then doing big movies for Elegant Angel, Star Wars XXX, all sorts of crazy stuff happened. Fifty Shades . . .

Do you have any big movies planned for 2013?

I have six movies releasing in January so 2013 came out with a bang. There are so many to name. There’s Clerks, Hawkman and Hawkwoman, The Spice Girls parodies. ... ]]> AEE Quickies Pt. 2 XCritic Features http://www.xcritic.com/columns/column.php?columnID=3554 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 19:09:00 CST

By Rob Perez

In all my years watching and reviewing adult titles, the only name from the BDSM world I was even remotely aware of was Julie Simone. BDSM has never really appealed to me . . . just the thought of being tied up or even dominating a willing female just doesn't do it for me, but Julie has managed to make her mark in both the porn and fetish world. As a result, AVN recently inducted Julie Simone into its prestigious Hall of Fame, along with the likes of legendary performers Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick, Gina Lynn, Vanessa del Rio, Christy Canyon, Randy Spears, and Evan Stone, among others. But the honors didn't just stop there as Julie received a staggering 8 nominations this past year from AVN, including being nominated for 5 out of the 10 slots for Best BDSM Release. ... ]]> XCritic Attends The 2013 AVN Red Carpet XCritic Features http://www.xcritic.com/columns/column.php?columnID=3550 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 23:10:00 CST

Once again, XCritic.com received access to the AVN Red Carpet where media from all over the world converged in Las Vegas on Saturday night, taking video and pics of the world's biggest adult stars, all under one roof. The Joint at The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino was the place to be and be seen as performers, not normally known for being clothed, dressed their very best before being seated for the adult industry's most prestigious awards show. Enjoy this collection of some of our favorite pics from the red carpet.

Fan Choice Awards

The voting in our First Annual XCritic Fan Choice Awards is complete. We had over 1100 fans vote for their favorite in adult entertainment of 2013. These awards are the first we know of that publish the full raw data. That's right! You can not only see who won, but by how many votes. It's the most transparent and honest award system in entertainment!!

You voted and now it's time to announce YOUR winners!:

Fan Choice Awards

We get a LOT of requests for us to do an "Official XCritic Awards" and while we are happy to give you our picks of the best of the best each year we haven't really felt it was time to do an awards.

After a lot of thought and hard work we decided that the biggest thing missing in the adult space was an awards that represented YOU the people who watch porn. So instead of doing our own awards we decided to create a collaboration betweeen the writers at XCritic and YOU our readers.

We've pulled together the nominations in 21 categories. This is much, much less than any other award show as we feel that there are just too many categories and too many awards. So no "Best Anal Scene" and no "Best Threeway Sex While Juggling Award".

At the recent BBW Fan Fest XCritic ran into several ladies who all had a lot to say. Read some of what they had to say below.

Amazon Amanda

What brings you here to the BBW Fan Fest?

I’m actually here supporting the event as a first of its kind, to actually promote and support BBW talent and models, any BBW in the industry. So it’s a really positive event that I wanted to be a part of, and of course promote my website, AmazonAmanda.com and myself.

What’s your Twitter and where can fans, producers book you for work?

Twitter is @AmazonAmanda and my email is

As promised, last Saturday I ventured down to the Windy City, to meet up with fellow Xcritic reviewer, Porno Nerd aka Bobby Blake and my friend @magicseamonkey, and we were out to check out the Chicago stop for Exxxotica.

This has been my second year in a row for going to this show, and I am glad to say that it seems to be growing every year. Glad to see that the Midwest is getting some love. I will say that next year they should try and not schedule it around San Diego Comic Con, cause I know a bunch of the girls, who were at the show last year, were in San Diego this year.

We got our Media passes and headed into the show, and one of the guys at the T.I.T.S booth got my attention ... ]]> Dangerous Curves: XCritic Enters the World of Mystique XCritic Features http://www.xcritic.com/columns/column.php?columnID=3273 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:11:00 CDT

Another big beautiful woman I ran into at BBW Fan Fest was a sexy young lady by the name of Mystique. She had a lot on her mind and wanted to let it all out, as you can see. A country girl from Las Vegas, Mystique is also hoping for a jackpot in the adult industry as she prepares to leave the amateur ranks into the pros. The BBW Fan Fest nominee for Newcomer of the Year also has goals that extend higher than the tallest casino in Sin City.

By Rob Perez

Vixen Blu was one of the many colorful people I met at this year’s BBW Fan Fest. But of all the people at Fan Fest, Vixen stood out the most among the pornstars, webcam girls, strippers, and dominatrixes. In what was a huge learning experience for me, Vixen is a part of a community I didn’t know existed until this weekend, the Pet Play community. I won’t even attempt to explain what Pet Play is; Vixen will do that for you. As we in XCritic pride ourselves in, we offer the opportunity for performers to express themselves in a safe, non-judgmental environment such as this website. This fetish may be bizarre to some, some will even dismiss it automatically but Vixen has the right, like any other performer or non-performer, to express herself in however way ... ]]> Dangerous Curves: XCritic Attends the First Annual BBW Fan Fest Awards XCritic Features http://www.xcritic.com/columns/column.php?columnID=3268 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 23:13:00 CDT

History was made last night at the first annual BBW Fan Fest Awards at the Tuscany Suites and Casino where for the first time ever, a who’s who of the BBW adult community from around the country gathered in one place to honor their own. The BBW Fan Fest awards ranged from Icon, Trailblazers, Plumper of the Year, Feedee, to the more traditional Newcomer of the Year, Studio of the Year, to the night’s only standing ovation, XXX Performer of the Year. Sienna Hills, the first recipient of the prestigious award, had the audience cheering as she declared that BBW porn is a “Preferance, not a fetish.” She capped off her speech to roaring applause by ending it with, “We are taking over!”

So what do you do in Vegas when you’re at a porn convention full of BBW porn stars? You get them in a room and play strip poker! As part of the 2012 BBW Fan Fest, the first Strip Poker Extravaganza was held in a secret location, far away from the Fan Fest convention hall. If you were following my tweets you could’ve joined us as we watched some big beautiful women literally strip down to nothing, walking around the room unashamedly in the nude as a bunch of VIPs, industry types, and of course XCritic were on hand to see all these “dangerous curves” in the flesh. Top BBW porn girls such as Bella Bendz, HippyChick, Lexi Luxe, Delilah Black, Teedra Dior and Vixen Blu all provided us with eye candy.

I have always had a fondness for plus-size, voluptuous, thick women. Don’t get me wrong, I’m attracted to a wide variety of women. But heavier women are just that much more softer and have that much more to play with. A woman with curves who carries her weight well and is confident in herself and in her appearance is my kind of woman.

In my first in a semi-regular series of interviews with the most under-appreciated group of women in porn—BBWs (a term I will try not to overly use)—I spoke with 2011 Urban X Award BBW Star of the Year Platinum Puzzy, Southern belle knockout Sienna Hills, and promising newcomer Mimi Melons at the 2012 Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.

Do you know who these guys are in this picture? Well if you don't know them, the short answer is that these are the two luckiest guys in the world. They are Potter and Roy, two of the hosts from the Elegant Angel podcast. They are sometimes joined by Mason, the famous director of some great Elegant Angel movies. So when she is not out filming scenes, she joins them for some fun and games. And there is plenty of fun to be had when you add pornstars to the mix. I know a few times I was laughing so hard, I was about to cry. Especially when Mason gets going a few times.
