This month, the fan-centric X3 Expo returned to the Hollywood Palladium with its 5th and biggest show on January 16-17 following the XBIZ LA conference. With the weather reaching 80 degrees that weekend, attendance was at an all-time high with more involvement from companies and performers signing. Agency booths made a return with ATMLA, InvisionModels, and OCModeling after an absence since the initial show.
The layout for the booths changed again with AdultEmpire and Elegant Angel sharing the only booth set upstairs. Ricky’s Room, Fleshlight, and Brazzers were the most popular booths downstairs.
That Saturday included a musical performance by The Game. Hate It or Love It, the crowd ate it up. I didn’t attend the XMAs on the following Sunday, but everyone looked beautiful from the red carpet shots I’ve seen.
