Porn Valley Dispatch: Your Springtime Of Adult Awards

March 6, 2008
GRAM-PONANTE

The venerably ramshackle X-Rated Critics Awards (XRCO) and the Fans of Adult Media and Entertainment (FAME) Awards both announced their upcoming ceremonies this week. The XRCO is comprised of oldschool and die-hard porn watchers from around the world, and will hold its 24th annual fete on April 30 at the Highlands nightclub in Hollywood. Of all the myriad adult awards shows, the XRCO tends to take into account the porn world's history. The FAME Awards will celebrate its third year on June 7 as part of Erotica L.A. Nominations are now open for several categories in these fan-based honors. Why so many adult award shows? Six words: Shiny things, slutty dresses, Eva Angelina.
