AVN Exposition 2025: Review!

I finally made it to an AVN Awards / Exposition. I'll be putting up a few postings in this thread about the experience. I'm still getting used to the three-hour time difference, and getting unpacked, sorting through the snail-mail – etc. So, I'll share the swag and some of the items I got while attending in this initial post.

First is the MyFreeCams tote bag. They were the main sponsor for the exposition. I blew off their booths (1/3 of the first room??), as (so far) I'm only interested in “professional” starlets. The second item on the left / postcard was for Palomino Club. I was informed it has a $66 (!) cover charge, but that includes two drink tickets. The upper right, Bator Balm, was handed out by two women in the second, larger room. It apparently lets you last longer, while you .. flog the dolphin. On the lower left is a photo of Misty Rein. I bumped into her after the show, while walking to the parking garage. She was surprised I recognized her (saw her while walking through the two rooms). She gave me a hug goodnight as we parted. I don't recall how I obtained the other items!

The first place I visited after getting through security was the SexLikeReal booth. There were three starlets there, but the one I was most attracted to was Malanie Marie. She also looked familiar.. (Update: Yup! I have five .. sets of her, previously.) As she was being paid by SLR, she didn't charge for photos. Revisit the thread for that post / pic!

I would have attended the exposition anyway .. but when it got close to the day, the website published a list of adult stars expected to attend. Oooooo .. my French Goddess Anissa Kate was listed! As fate would have it, It took me going through 80% of the second room to find her. She was on the end of a booth, by an intersection splitting the room. She provided photos that she had available at her area, as shown. She was the one starlet who I paid the fee to, for .. selfies / pictures with her.

I think on the right in the second room was a booth with some starlet areas. Another starlet I hoped to meet was Reagan Foxx, who I did! Murphy's Law – she was interviewed just after the couple in front of me met her.. (This was a recurring theme.) But, Reagan was very personable, and she let me take a selfie / picture with her, too.

This was toward the end of my day. It was CROWDED in there. And, with all the people (many also likely excited / stimulated) .. the room was hot. I mistakenly thought a third room was open to attendees, only to discover it was for peeps in the industry / required a different colored wristband.. Security would not let me through to the two main rooms, even though I had just passed by there 90 seconds, prior.. I had to go through the general admission line again. Which meant I had to leave Virgin Hotel's lobby, and re-enter to the right. Being that I was outside anyway, I sat on a bench for 20 minutes to cool off.

As I re-entered the exposition, I noticed A LOT of new faces. This was just before 5:00PM. Again, more on that later! But, as I was doing a final walk-through, further down that 80 percent column where Anissa was at the corner, I saw a guy who wanted a selfie with this stacked, hot blonde. I stopped and offered to take the picture for him. After he departed, I struck up a convo with the starlet – Sadie Rose. She gave me a photo, and a .. card. She also offered a free selfie / picture with her. She was one of two “new-to-me” starlets who I enjoyed my time with. (Update: it looks like she is primarily on OnlyFans. If any peeps are on that site, check her out! You wont' be disappointed!)

Oh – I also got a card from visiting with Mindi Mink. She was around the corner of the booth with Reagan Foxx. While chatting with Sadie, a GF of hers, Miss Behavin', visited her. She also provided me with a sticker.

In the corridor between the two rooms was a DJ, and a SEX.com booth. I first visited it earlier in the day, and met Melissa Stratton. She also offered a free selfie / picture with her. She was the second “new-to-me” starlet who I enjoyed my time with.

After my 20 minute cool-off / break, I saw that Lexi Luna was now here. She was boppin' all over the place. I chatted with someone she was talking to, prior, and he shared with me that she would be at the SEX.com booth at 6:00. (It was currently 5:05.) I hung out another 1:05, and visited the SEX.com booth at 6:10-ish. No Lexi to be found.. I chatted with a person working the booth, and they were unaware she was supposed to be there / her schedule. The attendee did give me a bag with swag as shown, for my troubles. The metal tins on the left are breath mints. The bags on the right contain keychain bottle openers. The sheet lower-center is a bunch of stickers.

That's it for now. More to follow over the next several days!
 
I'll share some of the starlets I saw while at the Exposition, and some thoughts. Starlets there were:

Jewelz Blu – she was in the middle of the floor, with around a dozen other starlets in the same .. “ring.” There were two mattresses there. Jewelz for $60 would do a .. lap dance / grind on you, and one of the other starlets would video it on the client's phone.

Lily Phillips – WTH? She was on the right side of the Brazzers booth, and she had a line of around 25 peeps waiting to meet her. For a woman who was likely a “starfish” for 100+ dudes to nut on her face??

Romi Rain – took three visits! First time, she was being interviewed. Second time, the line was six deep. Third time was the charm. Got a picture taken with her for free, and shared with her that I enjoyed her content, from a Fornic8 Films “4-Hours, All Big Tits” DVD compilation I purchased.

After 5:00PM
Angela White – she took over the Brazzers spot of Lily, earlier.

Abella Danger – had the OTHER Brazzers booth corner, and she also had a line around 25, going around the back.

Kayley Gunner – also Brazzers, out in front

Alexis Fawx - also Brazzers, out in front; had tall, thick, reflective .. Gargoyle-like sun shade on

Cherie DeVille – also Brazzers, out in front; styled like Princess Leia as Jabba's slave girl – chain bra; hair in tight ponytail with gold .. barrettes

Anna Marie Clouds – I think at Jules Jordan's booth?; long line

Richelle Ryan – next to AMC; long line

Penny Barber – at AVN's booth (last year's MILF winner)

Shay Fox – she was gone by the time I re-entered, after cooling off on the bench

Tanya Tate – she was doing interviews of starlets .. for AVN?

Rachel Starr – she was boppin' around with a group of her friends; just attending

Angel Youngs – saw her just as I was about to exit

For starlets I chatted with, but declined to pay a fee for their picture:
Mindy Mink – had a good convo with her; she said she'll still keep making content as long as she enjoys it; suggested “tip” was $20

London River – had a decent convo with her; I think she was the third starlet to say she had seen me before at the convo; discussed how I look like: Tobey Maguire, Wayne Gretzky, and Martin Short; $10

Katie Morgan – oh!; apparently her marriage didn't last long. She joked her hubby “ran back to Canada!” a dozen years ago. However, she currently is partnered and has a daughter. An adorable klutz, as expected. She completely knocked over the items on her table at least twice, while I was there.

Priya Rai – I saw her as she was leaving for the day; $10

surprise! Tera Patrick – convo with her was eh.; just her and a bowl of large peppermint life savers. Noted that she had a long-sleeved blouse on, to .. “hide” her tattoo sleeve.. She had her implants removed; $20

Other starlets
Courtney Taylor – had a long line; I think at the back of the second room

Brittany Andrews – same as CT

Misty Stone – after 5:00PM; after I had chatted with Sadie Rose, and was ready to call it a day

“In general,” tons of eye-candy. I saw AT LEAST two nip-slips in the first five minutes after getting past security. While outside on the bench, saw a dark brunette leaving the expo in a ruffled skirt, and the full length still wasn't enough to cover her lower ass cheeks. Again, while outside, saw two attractive dirty blonde lesbians in painted-on leather pants holding hands with one's head on the other's shoulder.
