Sasha Grey, Performer Of The Year: An Appreciation
There were a few surprises at the 2008 AVN Awards last Saturday night: Bree Olson winning Nest New Starlet! Jenna getting booed by the crowd! All those empty seats! But as far as we can tell, pretty much everyone agreed that no one deserved to win the Performer of the Year award as much as Sasha Grey ... and fortunately, she did. Intelligent, poised, and downright nasty when she wants to be, Sasha is truly a new breed of porn star, one who has just as much genuine star quality while defending the adult industry on a daytime talk show as she does while choking on an outsized set of genitalia in a movie like "Babysitters", for which she also picked up a trophy this weekend. (Oh, and did we mention she's left-handed too?) Follow along as we take another look at some of Sasha's career highlights over the past year and a half, and join us in congratulating her on an award well won. (Not like we didn't see it coming or anything.) More » -

Postcards From Las Vegas: Last Gasps
If you're starting to get a little sick of our continued 2008 AVN Expo and Awards coverage, especially now that the event is over ... well, stop and take a moment to consider how we must feel: we've been back from Vegas for two days already and we still can't get the lingering scent of melon body spray and crowd sweat out of our nostrils, which are still encrusted with various substances from endless hours spent in all that climate-controlled recirculated desert air. (Yeah, that's it.) And just like we keep on finding business cards in our pockets from people we have no recollection of ever meeting, we still have a bunch of photos on our hard drives that we really ought to post before things get too stale around here; what they may lack in up-to-the-moment freshness they more than make up for in their value as part of the historical record And isn't being, um, historical what going to a porn expo and taking pictures is all about?

Bree Olson Totally Earned That Trophy
The delightfully sunny Bree Olson has been a fixture of the masturbatory fantasies of so many for so long that it came as a surprise for some folks last Saturday to learn that she had been awarded the Best New Starlet trophy at this year's AVN Awards, not so much because of that "best" aspect as for the "new" part: as one commenter noted in our awards show liveblogging coverage, "Is (she) that new? It seems like I have been rubbing 'em out to her forever." Such confusion is understandable: while an exhaustive ten second search of the Fleshbot archives shows that we did indeed introduce you to her almost exactly a year ago to the week, she'd been appearing on various hardcore paysites and in films like Smash Pictures' "Whale Tale #3" for several months prior to that, and well in advance of her signing as a contract girl for Adam and Eve—which we suppose is really what qualified her for her Best New Starlet nomination, at least on the dotted line.

(Lots And Lots More) AVN 2008 Red Carpet Photos: Still Gagging On The Glamour
We could use this space to further expound upon the general clusterfuckiness of this year's red carpet at the 2008 AVN Awards last Saturday evening at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas; or how poorly organized and cramped the press area was if you didn't happen to be part of a large television network or glossy mainstream magazine; or how the phenomenon of some of the younger porn starlets repurposing what were evidently their prom dresses to wear to their first big adult industry event really needs to be looked at more closely. But we know you didn't come here for that ... you came here to see glamour, high fashion, not-so-high fashion, they-must-have-been-high-when-they-picked-out-that-outfit fashion, plastic surgery nightmares, and lots and lots of barely contained boobs. (Also? We're too hung over to write any more complete sentences today than we already have!) More » -

2008 AVN Awards: Dispatches From The Front
Team Fleshbot is at the Mandalay Bay Events Center right now for the 2008 AVN Awards ... and you're not! But, like, we're totally not gloating about that: chances are that however you're spending your Saturday night is a lot more pleasant and comfortable than watching an overlong awards ceremony on giant screens from uncomfortable seats in a cavernous arena. Then again, it probably also doesn't involve watching dozens of barely legal porn starlets teetering down the red carpet in too-high heels wearing badly altered prom dresses and the thrill of seeing the occasional reality show star getting sloppy drunk a few rows away from you. So it all balances out. More »
