Las Vegas, NV - Multi-award winning performer Aubrey Kate took home three AVN Awards this past weekend, including the highly coveted ‘Transsexual Performer of the Year’ Award for the second year in a row.  

“This year I was definitely a little more nervous than last year,” said Aubrey Kate. “In 2017, I had already been nominated for ‘Transsexual Performer of the Year’ three years with no wins. I wasn’t expecting to win this year, let alone to take home three awards.”

Kate took home three awards that night: Transsexual Performer of the Year, Favorite Trans Cam Star, and Best Transsexual Sex Scene (for her scene with Adriana Chechik in ‘Adriana Chechik is the Squirt Queen’).

“When I heard my name called by Nikki Benz and Nicolette Shea, I legit screamed with joy and ran to hug my sisters before going up on stage. It all happened so quickly - like I closed my eyes this past year and suddenly it was over. Winning AVN two years in a row is the biggest honor I’ve ever achieved. 2017 has been a year of firsts, so many awesome projects, like my showcase with Evil Angel and starring in Jessica Drake’s showcase alongside Jessica, Venus Lux, and Domino Presley.”

Kate spent her time signing exclusively at the Evil Angel booth during the AVN Expo and promoting her new showcase with the company, Aubrey Kate: TS Superstar.

“I got to sign with five beautiful women and was exclusive to the Evil Angel booth. I felt like a pornstar for once,” Kate explained. “They walked us down to our booth, gave us angel wings to wear, and even gifted us our own customized Evil Angel robes! This year I was at the biggest booth in the Joint and even had ropes to form lines. I felt like a million bucks.”

Kate also lent her voice and expertise by speaking on the AEE Seminar: Make That Connection moderated by Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals, covering topics like social media and growing your brand. She was joined by co-panelists Lindsey Banks, Jenna Sativa, and a representative from Stripchat.

Kate added, “Public speaking has always been hard for me, but starting to speak out more often is getting a little easier but still scary to me. People don't realize I have a shy side. 2016 and 2017 were amazing for me. I have a few really big projects in the works that I’ll be able to announce soon. I feel very special and honored and I can't wait for all my fans to see what the future holds.Thank you so much AVN for recognizing my hard work. I can't wait to come back to the 2019 awards and show you how much further I have grown.”

Siouxsie Q Speaking on AEE Panel Today, Signing at AVN Booth

11885313_914679208599459_5746462303342736320_n.jpg

Las Vegas, NV - Siouxsie Q will be speaking on the AEE Seminar “Survey Says...” today, in addition to signing at the AVN Booth Wednesday-Friday.

“This week is like the World Series of Porn. It's my favorite time of year, and I love how our big family gets to come together to celebrate our success and lay groundwork for the coming year,” said Siouxsie Q. “So many new performers attend the expo from all over the world, and I want them to know that APAC and the community is here to hold them up and support them as they navigate this business, and the stigma that, unfortunately, comes with it.”

The “Survey Says…” seminar is at 4-5pm at Festival Hall C. Q will be joined by fellow panelists, Professor Constance Penley, Nina Hartley, and Ian O’Brien. The description is as follows:

As members of the adult community know, when journalists write about this industry they often get it wrong. Thankfully, some scholars have put in time and effort to really study this industry, producing studies of erotica, pleasure products and other aspects of the business. One group turned their attention on the AVN Expo and surveyed fans at last year’s event. They’ll discuss the results of the survey with a panel of industry insiders.

In addition to speaking today, she will be signing and meeting fans at the AVN booth at these times:  

Wednesday, January 24th at 6pm

Thursday, January 25th at 2pm

Friday, January 26th at 3pm

She will have merchandise and DVDs for sale, as well as information about APAC.

Recently elected to the APAC Board of Directors, Siouxsie wasted no time getting to work. She’s worked closely with the current board members to meet APAC’s outreach and recruitment goals for AVN, which include a social and livestreamed panel on Friday from 530-630pm.

Adult industry writer, performer, and advocate, Siouxsie Q, has been creating media about sex work since 2012 when she launched her popular podcast, The Whorecast. Since then she has written extensively for publications such as the San Francisco Weekly and Wired.com, and her first book Truth, Justice and the American Whore was published in May of 2016 to rave reviews. Pivoting to politics, she served as the Director of Policy and Industry Relations for The Free Speech Coalition from 2016-2017 leading the historic and winning battle against California Proposition 60 and further ensuring victory for adult industry workers in regulatory battles with Cal/Osha. She continues to write, teach, podcast, and perform regularly. In 2018, she was elected to the APAC Board of Directors. She was recently nominated for 2018 AVN Award for Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene for her performance in Adam and Eve's polyamory themed movie, Luck of the Draw.

Siouxsie Q Scores AVN Nomination for Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene

436138.jpg

Los Angeles, CA - Siouxsie Q receives a coveted AVN Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene for her performance in Adam and Eve’s Luck of the Draw.

“This film is very dear to my heart as it pulls a lot of content from my real life, including issues of polyamory, sex work, and even podcasting!” said Siouxsie Q. “I play myself in a sort of alternate universe where The WhoreCast has morphed into a radio show on alternative relationships and Arabelle Raphael is my girlfriend. We have an incredibly hot and spontaneous threesome with a gorgeous stripper, played by Bella Rossi, and demonstrate (by showing what not to do) why communication and honesty are so important when exploring non-monogamy.”

Luck of the Draw stars Siouxsie Q, Cherie Deville, Mona Wales, Arabelle Raphael, Daisy Ducati, Nikki Darling, Bella Rossi, Lilith Luxe, Sebastian Keys, Owen Gray, and Mickey Mod (who is also the director).

“Siouxsie Q was not only an inspiration on the set, but in the writing of the film as well,” added director Mickey Mod. “She helped bring an authenticity around trust and fidelity in open/poly relationships. She is truly a joy to have around and is an amazing performer and actress.”

“Luck of the Draw was very much a passion project, and I'm so pleased Adam and Eve made it possible,” she added. “Mickey Mod wrote and directed the film and was truly able to capture the dynamic sex and relationship cultures of the Bay Area, which is my home. I made this movie just as I was beginning to separate from the relationships I'd built in the Bay and transition to my life in Los Angeles, so my performance in this movie is really fueled by what was authentically happening in my life at the time.”

Siouxsie Q was nominated for the same award in 2015 for her role in San Francisco Lesbians: The Scissr Sex App. She stated, “I’m honored to be recognized by AVN for the second time for my skills at having sex with more than one girl at the same time. I’ve truly been prepping my whole life for these roles.”  

Adult industry writer, performer, and advocate, Siouxsie Q, has been creating media about sex work since 2012 when she launched her popular podcast, The Whorecast. Since then she has written extensively for publications such as the San Francisco Weekly and Wired.com, and her first book Truth, Justice and the American Whore was published in May of 2016 to rave reviews.

Siouxsie Q Campaigning for APAC Secretary

Los Angeles, CA -  Former FSC staffer, Siouxsie Q, is officially campaigning for Adult Performer Advocacy Committee (APAC) Secretary.

“APAC is an incredible asset to the adult performer community, and while they've already accomplished so much, I see tremendous potential for the future of the organization, and I hope to have the opportunity to help it grow,” said Siouxsie Q. “I care deeply about this industry and its workers. I love performing, but more than anything, I love the people that do this work. I’m proud of who we are, what we do, and at the end of the day, the diversity of voices, experiences, and perspectives that often threaten to divide us are in fact, truly what makes our community great, strong, and vibrant. We may never unite on every issue, but what we do all share is that this world sees us as second-class citizens, which is why coming together and organizing as a political force is critical for our community. I am committed to that fight.”

Q has been publicly endorsed by numerous individuals in the adult industry, including influential adult industry performer and speaker Jiz Lee of Pink and White Productions

and Mo Reese, who served on the FSC Board of Directors.

APAC members may cast one vote until January 15, 2018. The new board member will be inducted in January 2018 to complete the current 2017-2019 two-year board member term. Votes can be cast at this link: http://www.apac-usa.com/voting

Siouxsie Q’s spent her first days in the adult industry at the Lusty Lady Peep Show in San Francisco where she served on the Board of Directors as the Theater Coordinator for two terms. In 2012, she created The Whorecast, a podcast showcasing the stories and voices of people in the adult industry. She used her platform as a way to speak out about Proposition 35 and Measure B.  In 2014, she started a sex column for the San Francisco Weekly called The Whore Next Door, which highlighted issues of sex worker rights, sex positivity, and the LGBTQ community.

Q’s popular book, Truth, Justice, and the American Whore, was published on the same day she accepted a position as the Director of Policy and Industry Relations for the Free Speech Coalition in 2016.

Q added, “During my time with FSC, as their first staff member who was also an active performer, I was immediately tasked with mobilizing adult film performers to attend an important Cal/Osha hearing in February of 2016, and speak out against regulations that would have seriously compromised performer health, safety, and bodily autonomy. After a solid month of social media outreach and grassroots organizing, over 100 performers showed up to the hearing and spoke their truth, imploring the Cal/Osha Standards Board to listen to the workers who would be affected by the proposed regulations. In an unexpected plot twist, the state regulators actually listened to a group of impassioned porn stars and we won!”

Q was also instrumental to the adult industry during the #NoProp60 campaign in California. She traveled across the state, visited college campuses, did live television and radio debates against the opposing side, attended Democratic and Republican party conventions, and took the streets in Hollywood to organize over 200 adult film performers to protest against Proposition 60 weeks before the election.

“There was no stopping until we had won,” Q explained. “And we did. By over one million votes. Though our campaign had been outspent nearly ten to one, we changed hearts and minds around the world based on the sheer will of our community and power of our voices. Now, I want us to never forget that when unite and fight, we can change the course of history.

“It would be a great honor to serve on the Board of Directors for the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee. I plan to use my experience from the #NoProp60 campaign to increase involvement from the performer population and grow an active community of volunteers, activists, and leaders, along with a robust network of coalition partners and resources. I want to make sure each and every APAC member is informed, involved, empowered, and supported in their choices. I humbly ask for your vote, and also promise that no matter what, I’ll never stop fighting for and serving our community.”

IMG_4507.JPG

Las Vegas, NV - Will Havoc received three XBIZ nominations for his performances in “Jessica Drake is Wicked” and “Damn Fine Pie! A Twin Peaks Parody Gangbang.”

“I'm really glad XBIZ is recognizing a wider variety of scenes and performers in its nominations this year,” said Will Havoc. “The three scenes that were nominated were all a delight to shoot. Working with Jessica Drake was a dream-come-true; Amber is one of my favorite people in the industry, and a Twin Peaks-themed scene to boot. And to be nominated with my real-life partner in a scene performing one of our personal favorite fetishes (cuckolding) is just so cool!“
