They charge for photos at the Exxxotica? No thanks. I will stick to the AVN AEE in Vegas.

I dont know. I sent an email out to the two postings and my information but never heard back. I was at the expo yesterday and today and none of the stars I spoke to had seen her. Just wondering if this was a case of bait and switch or she flaked out again.
As for the expo I was able to make two new connections with PSE's. Hoping to get together with one of them this week.
 All the ladies were friendly but the least friendly booth had to belong to PINKY as her thug bodyguard put his hand up everytime someone tried to take a picture of her at her booth without paying for it. Ridiculous.  Sophie Dee pulled that same stunt last year but she must have learned since you were able to take photos of her standing there.

I emailed Jasmine Tame and supposedly she "emailed me back"(not sure if its really Jasmine)...but I never received a follow up email to schedule a day/time for a playtime together. Guess you had the same experience as me. I went by the Pinky booth and saw her entourage of thugs like you mentioned. My friend was annoyed that Pinky wanted $40 for a signed photo and picture with her when mostly everyone else was charging $5/$10 and some booths were free.

I walked by Sophie Dee's booth and kind of got a dirty look from her husband Lee Bang for some reason. I heard Alexis Texas came off kind of bitchy too, it didn't help her bf Mr. Pete was their on guard with a mean mug on his face.

But I had a successful time and managed to hook-up with an a-level porn star that night.

No complaints from me.  

$40 bucks for Pinky? Wow. I know one sucker that paid that and more because he brought Pinky to Kelly Devine's booth for a photo with them both followed by that thug friend of hers. And what was up with those two older women at Pinkys booth. Had to be relatives.
  Didnt know Sophie was married to that guy Lee Bang. We just couldnt place the name either.
      Riley Steele seemed to have the longest lines and honestly I cant place her at all. Thought Lisa Ann looked fantastic.

She"s tough to get a hold of,i pursued  her for a while until i got her when she was in LA i followed her twitter to see where she was .One hell of a ride i must say.

Yea, Lisa Ann did look great. Gianna Michaels is my favorite pornstar so it was good to finally get to see her in person for the first time. I know Gianna is tall but she really is a tall girl.

Many of the girls charge for stuff like pictures taken together, dvds, posters, signatures, etc because many of them do not make money for simply being at the convention. The money they get for selling the merchandise is the bulk of their income for showing up at the convention. The only thing paid for the girls- whichever company that hired them to appear only pays for their airline tickets. I think they pay for their own hotel room too but cost is lessen by sharing it with another girl or agent.

But Pinky and the $40 bucks fee is just outrageous that is all. Everything else I understand.

Bridgette B is hot blonde from Spain.

Hard to pin down, but well worth the effort if she follows through.  There are countless threads on this.

A few comments:

I heard from a reliable source that Jasmine got so many private bookings for the weekend that she never made it to the Expo.  That's a shame - I've always wanted to meet her!  I emailed her myself practically begging her to make an appearance but I guess she never did.  She did say that because of her popularity, she's thinking of coming back to NJ again real soon.  So anyone who missed out on booking her this time will have a chance.

About Pinky's bodyguard stopping people from taking pictures - as someone pointed out, Sophie Dee did it last year.  It's actually against state law and I'm pretty sure it's against the Expo management's policy.  The law is very simple - if you're in a public place, you have no right to object to a picture being taken of you.  They CAN charge you if you want them to pose, or to pose with you, but taking candid photos as you walk past the booth is your legal right.  (Note: I am not a lawyer but I know this from previous experience at conventions; this should not be construed as legal advice.)  Anyway, I complained last year to the management and Sophie's guard eventually stopped.  I guess Pinky didn't get the word and no one complained. I'm not a Pinky fan so I didn't notice this.  Aside from the legal aspects, someone should explain to these ladies that if they aren't nice to the fans, they lose the fans.

About charging for photos:  If you noticed over the weekend, several of the stars were at different booths.  That's because different studios/companies were paying for them to be at the convention.  While the ladies were at one booth, they were not allowed to charge for autographs or photos but at the other booth, they had to charge.  It's my belief that these rules are being set by the production companies, modeling agencies, and the folks who are paying for the lady to come out to the expo.  At least once, I heard one of the agency guy's tell one of the stars that she could not charge for autographs at that booth and made her give back money to the guy who had just purchased an autographed picture and was getting his camera out so he could get a picture with the star.  At another booth, the same star was told she HAD to charge and was told how much to charge.  So, guys, don't hate the girls - it appears it's not their fault.  And, you just have to catch them at the right booth!

I had a blast at the convention and ran into a lot of old friends and made some new ones.  
Some of my favorites at the convention:
  Eden Adams
  Amy Brooke
  Jacky Joy
  Sara Vandella/Sara Sloane
  Angel Vain
  Kagney Linn Karter
  Nikki Delano
  Misti Dawn
  Joanna Angel
  Aria Rae
  Lexi Belle
and special thanks to Brandy Talore who let me play with her breasts, and Courtney Cummz who played with my crotch.
   
Some of my least favorite:
  Stoya
  Monique Alexander
  Mary Carey

Those that I missed:
  Jasmine Tame who never showed up
  Penelope Piper - she was supposed to show up at 3:30 on Saturday, as of 4:30pm she hadn't yet arrived, and I couldn't wait any more.  I've heard she eventually showed up but...

The funniest thing at the convention:
They had a booth for Eros.com and several of the escorts who advertise on the site were there signing autographs.  Really.  

Stupidest thing I saw: A guy walked up to one of the stars (I won't say which one), grabbed her breasts, and told his friend to "take a picture, quick".  He never asked her.  The stunned look on her face told the entire story.  I'm really surprised she didn't knee the guy in the groin.  If you're on this board and you're the one who did this: you're an ass.

The worst thing about the convention: the noise.  There's no question that the show is too loud, and the constant music thumping away disrupted many attempts at conversation.

She is gorgeous and I was very lucky and glad that I met her.

I was at the show, it was great, full of T&A. I was really impressed with Lisa Ann as well, beautiful woman. Phoenix Marie looked hot! too and she always very cool. Also, I ran across a gorgeous women by the name of Bridgette B. I wasn't sure if she was our TER Bridgette so I asked because she is my type and I was definitely looking to have some fun. She said there are 3 of her so it might be or could be. I didn't know what to think or how to preceded her answer so I just let it go, purchased her video and moved on, however maybe it was our Bridgette, can anyone here confirm that or not?

This was my 4th year in a row going to Exxxotica and I have enjoyed it every year. I took photos with 56 stars this year. Most of them charged $5. A few charged $10. Tanya Tate offered 1 for $5 or 3 for $10. Some didn't charge at all including Riley Steele and Lexi Belle. Courtney Cummz said I could take a few photos with her as long as I bought something off her table, so I got a DVD for $10. Kelly Divine wanted $20, so she was the only one I passed on, especially since I already have nude photos with her from a strip club. Sara Jay, Taylor Stevens, and Ausin Taylor offered topless photos for an extra fee, but they still had pasties or stickers covering their nipples. Stormy Daniels, Brandy Talore, and Totally Tabatha offered "hands on" photos for an extra fee. Shay Lynn just asked you to tip her whatever you wanted in exchange for a photo. The only star who charged me for an autograph was Sophia Santi. I had about 6 things for her to sign, but because of the charge, I only got 1 item signed. Others like Eden Adams, Devon Alexis, Tasha Reign, Candy Manson, Jenna Rose, and Adrienne Manning were thrilled that I brought something to sign, especially Devon since it was the first time she had ever seen her Penthouse layout which just hit newsstands. I was really impressed with Riley Steele who didn't charge for anything despite having arguably the longest lines of anybody.

I've been to the past 3 AVN expos in Vegas and it's been getting smaller and now it's going to be in a new venue.(and not the same week as CES but I'm planning to go to the AVN expo). Before Exxxotica NJ was coming up I was watching the site and it was getting major sponsors compared to last year. It was nice seeing the major displays promoting companies like the ones at the AVN expo in Vegas. Can't wait to go again next year and also go the Miami Exxxotica.

The shows were awesome. So many good ones. Rigamortis someting, Cirque de Belladonna, Pretty Things Peep show, Rubber Dolls show, etc. I spent most of Sat Night just watching the shows. I freaking regret not going on Friday. Sunday I made an effort to meet up with some of the stars there.

Like Mr. French said, if your not nice to the fans you lose the fans. So true.

My friend wanted to check out Charmane Starr but he said he watched her text and ignore a fan that was right in front of her. He said that he got so turned off by that, that he didn't even bother and wasn't a fan of her any longer.

When I go to AVN and if the stars are really cool and stuff, if they come to Exxxotica I try and check them out and stuff.

Sarah Vendella- she was tired at the end of Sunday but I was able to get a pic with her.
Lisa Ann- I didn't have a chance to see her but she was awesome last year.
Joanna Angel- I'm not really into tattos but she cool like that from my previous experiences and even took a pic with her girls with my NJ Devils jersey. She was more concerned about her girls than herself stating that she didn't want anything but tip her girls like $5 dollars each or something. I had no problem with that and gave them more than $5 bucks each.
Bobbi Starr- I don't know if she goes to Exxxotica but I always make sure to visit her booth at the AVN.
Rachal Starr
Kristina Rose- always does stuff that she usually attracts a crowd at AVN/Exxxotica.
Rubber Doll was cool and asked if she knew me from Miami or something.

Mr. French- why is Stoya one of your least favorite ones this year at Exxxotica?

Yeah, I found Charmane to be very cool to the fans too.  And I agree that's rude to be texting someone while you have people waiting.  But, truthfully, that's not as bad as the time I went out on a date with a porn star who spent all fucking night texting on her phone - all through dinner, back to my place, even at 3am!!  Jeez.  And then she wondered why I didn't want to date her again!! LOL!

Joanna Angel is one of the coolest porn stars I know.  And if you've ever seen her dance life, she has an AWESOME routine.  For a tiny little girl she really, really, really heats up the room.  I'm not into tattoos either but I'd give anything for a date with her... Her new girl: Aria Rae is incredibly hot, and some of the other girls were down by the El Diablo booth - Misti Dawn is another one that catches my eye although she doesn't look as good as a brunette as she did when she was a red-head.

Sarah Vandella was cool too and, yeah, after a long weekend of meeting and greeting fans, and partying, I'd be tired too.  I can't blame her.  She's a sweetheart though.  I chatted with her for a while and she was one of the few stars I bought a dvd from.

As for Stoya - there are a lot of reasons why she was one of my least favorites this year.  First of all, she looks anorexic.  She lost weight since last year and to me looks way too thin.  Also, she had on far too much make-up and just didn't look as attractive as she had in the past.  She was also much colder - the first year she was at the Expo I spent about 30 minutes chatting with her.  Same last year.  This year, we couldn't part company fast enough - I got a picture and then went off.  She didn't want to talk, and she was just...cold.  Maybe she's letting her fame get to her head, or maybe she's in a different head space this year - I don't know.  All I know is I had a much better time elsewhere like hanging out with Amy Brooke and Eden Adams - two of the hottest and coolest chicks I know.

Ive been to AVNs the last few years too, even the PS are saying its gotten smaller the last few years. I know they used to run out of posters w/in the 1st day years ago but now they have extras by its end.  Agreed w/the courtesy rule and I'm sorry your friend had that happen w/Charmaine texting and ignoring the people in line and i dont blame him for walking away. I remember Tylene Buck doing that while I waited in line to meet her at Adultcon years ago, never went to see her again after that.  
 Hmm, Lee's always cool when we talk but him being so tall, i can see why he'd be conasidered menacing but he's really not IMO. He bought me a drink the 1st day I met him and Sophie & refused to take my $$ to pay him back.
  I love Sarah to death, we did the lunch date during XFANZ, talk about level-headed, been friends since. Riley is a hoot as is Bobbi.
 Mr French said it best, if you're not nice at the fans, theres goes your career.
