Photos from the
2008 Adult Entertainment Expo and the
2008 AVN Awards are now live! We interviewed many of the porn stars who were signing during the expo, and many of them were winners this year! The interview videos will be live in a couple of days. In the meanwhile, there are three galleries including the Expo, the Red Carpet of the award show, and the 25th annual AVN Award show.
Lady Venus photographed the Adult Entertainment Expo and I was able to photograph the Awards this year. I felt a bit like a sleazy paparazzo on the red carpet, because there were way too many photographers crammed into a very small space, each shoving their way in for a shot. It took over two hours for all of the pornstars to make their way into the venue, and there are lots of pictures of your favorite pornstars dressed for the gala event. The best (or possibly the most expensive) gown of the night belonged to Jenna Haze, who told us during her interview that she spent $9,000 on it! We were happy to see that she made her way up to the stage a few times so that she definitely got her money's worth on that gorgeous lavender, crystal-studded gown.
A few things that we noticed this year are:
- Belladonna seems to look better each time we see her.
- Many of the starlets love to have their fans jerk off onto their boxcovers and send them photos of the, um, messy end result.
- Ava Devine and Puma Swede are always in a good mood. (Take note, you newbies!!!)
- We still don't understand why nipples are verboten at this event. THEY ARE JUST NIPPLES, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! Covering them with pasties makes it all better? Whatever.
- A nice, full bush seems to be making a comeback. You don't believe us? Have a look at the all-natural Aussie beauties of AbbyWinters.com.
