You may recall my half-ecstatic half-ranty blog announcing the date for The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) annual awards show. Well now we have the nominations ladies and gentlemen! And information on how you can attend…
The 26th annual XRCO Awards ceremony, composed of top industry reviewers from print and internet, will take place on April 29th at The Highlands Nightclub in Los Angeles Ca., up above Hollywood Blvd in the very same complex that houses the Academy Awards (which broadcasts this Sunday). I believe The Highlands also holds residence to the only remaining All-Male revue existing in Los Angeles. My wife went to a bachelorette party there…I swear.
The show is being hosted by pornodome’s gifted and illustrious adult film icons Nikki Benz, Lisa Ann and Sean Michaels. I am also happy to report it will be dedicated to the memory of Jamie Gillis, Juliet “Aunt Peg” Anderson and Erica Boyer, legends we’ve lost over the course of the last year.
