Exxxotica Miami 2025

The blog is back after some technical difficulties.

Demi Hawks & French Ava

Exxxotica returned to its original host city, Miami, for its 20th year tour. The show is nearby the popular Florida production companies so you get to see a number of performers that are based in the area. It’s an easy show to get in and out of since the convention center and adjoining airport are near the airport.

Phoenix Marie & Brandi Love at the LoyalFans Spotlight booth

Loyalfans had the largest group of talent with its Spotlight booth, and Chaturbate had the booth with the most activity between its cam models. Demi Hawks and French Ava were almost inseparable that weekend. Those two booths also dominated the afterhours. I even saw Brandi Love holding court with adoring men at the hotel bar while Phoenix Marie looked on.

Also attended another orgy with prolific pro-am director, Tadpole. Except this time, there was an A/C outage which made the shoot more uncomfortable. I could only imagine how that was for the talent.

Exxxotica Chicago 2025

Exxxotica kicked off its 20th year of touring (+- that one pandemic year) with another big show in Chicago. In looking back at my photos over the years, Chicago has been my most frequent Exxxotica stop. Attendance has always great and the convenience of the convention center, hotels, and restaurants being near the airport just makes it the easiest show to get in and out of.

Fridays are always intense while Sundays had a much steadier stream of people than at other locations. Phoenix Marie had the longest lines, and the LoyalFans spotlight booth had several new people signing for them this year like Chanel Camryn and Hailey Rose.

This year marked the return of the Exxxotica Fan Choice Awards aka the Fannys, hosted by Maitland Ward and Usama Siddiquee. Having not attended the previous Fannys in Atlantic City, the amount of production the organisers put into this gala surprised me. The amount of people participating on the red or pink carpet also surprised me since Chicago was not the home base for many of the walkers.

That weekend I also visited with prolific Chicago pro-am producer, Tad Pole and his TadpolexStudio, before he embarked on his annual Exxxotica Chicago orgy. This year featured 20 men and 8 women. I didn’t stay to watch, but several of the participants said that it was the best thing they ever did. I also met people the next day that griped about missing the orgy. :)

Exxxotica DC 2024

The Exxxotica tour made its third stop in the DMV area. The show here is smaller with less exhibitors and had the vibe of an intimate affair. An attendee would be able to chat with their favourite star and not feel like they were holding up the lines. The industry talent also told me that the attendees were more likely to spend money at this show rather than just gawk so everyone was happy.

Alex Coal

The busiest booth was the Loyalfans spotlight booth with Alex Coal and April O’Neil consistently having people waiting for them. The Chaturbate booth was the second busiest as the cam models regularly interacted with the physical attendees in addition to their online cam room.

French Ava

The nights were laid back with the after-parties being at a neighbouring restaurant. People didn’t go too crazy, and this show was a good stopover before awards season start next month.

Exxxotica New Jersey 2024

Exxxotica returned to New Jersey on October 25-27. I attended the show mostly to catch up with the boss over at IAFD and get some ramen at this local place called Yaraku that offers a mean cheap bowl.

The show was busy and at times overwhelming if you are antsy with crowds. The foot traffic on Fridays can be bumper to bumper given the free attendance for women. Saturday is steady in attendance throughout the day while Sundays are not as slow as the other locations on the tour. The crowd behaviour was respectful, and there was no alcohol sold at the show presumably due to state law.

Violet Myers

There were less major booths compared to last year, and it made the lines longer to visit with the performers. Many of them were in costume since Halloween was the following week. Violet Myers at Loyalfans held the longest lines with people accruing hours before she was scheduled to sign. Both Alex Coal and April O’Neil had their share of waiting attendees at the same booth.

After-hours is when the alcohol came out as Exxxotica hosted parties each night. Friday and Saturday featured a live band and large crowds while Sunday had a more laid back trivia contest that focused on sex and porn.

Exxxotica Miami 2024

Three weeks and one hurricane later, I should just give an abbreviated summary of the most senior Exxxotica show in Miami. The Miami show gives me an opportunity to meet some of the newer talent that are based in Florida. The show is easy to access in the sense that it’s near the airport and the convention center is next to the host hotel. The crowds are not too heavy, and the food in the surrounding area is excellent.

I didn’t see any signing talent with huge lines but that may be because of the constant entertainment at the main stage where crowds gather. I also saw Florida-based talent randomly walking around the show like Kelsi Monroe, Leana Lovings, and Daisy Lavoy.

As for the off-hours, I didn’t stray too far away from the hotel with Mr. Blue Lou Boyle. Even though I kept getting invited to the after-parties by my feature dance friends with incentives of free alcohol, I was just too beaten to hang out at strip clubs.

Oh, and Rose Carter, thank you for being magical.
