So after the Cybersocket and Xbiz Awards and a quick jaunt to Palm Springs Rich and I took off to go see my boyfriend in Colorado....but more on that a little later. I really want to talk first about the GAYVNs and my BIG WIN!!! My totally sweet boyfriend, my high school girlfriend, the Manhunt crew and I all went to the awards together. I was so excited to be surrounded by people I love and then we ran into Monica from gayhotmovies again which just added to the excitement. I answered a few questions by Sister Roma on the red carpet (they mostly had to do with my studly boyfriend) and then we settled down at a small table to watch the awards and wait patiently.
I am usually not one to write my complete thoughts (as some other people in my industry sometimes totally trash others within the industry) but I must say Lettuce and Romaine, or whatever they call themselves, were underwhlemingly un-entertaining. They started out as talking flower pots and probably should have just stayed that way! Lady Bunny appeared but, from my understanding on Chi Chi's last minute request, and did her, as she told me last night, "same old show." But Lady Bunny's "same old show" is always as entertaining as the first time you see it! Go Bunny.
So, as they announced "Best Pro-Amateur" I was not nervous since I never thought I would get such an award for the second year in a row, so when I heard my name called I was a little struck aback! I ran up to the stage (and I must say, I was one of the few people that actually spoke into the microphone so everyone could hear me) and announced "second year in a row baby!" And that's exactly how I feel! Thanks to all of the GAYVN judges that voted for my efforts...and a big thanks to the fans! I was very nervous when it came to my 2 nominations for Best Ethnic-Latin, and was so let down when my Santo Domingo lost to a random Brazilian porn. I really thought my work in an exotic Latin location would beat out what has become a cheap easy place to make porn, Brazil, but I'll keep my mouth shut concerning why I think that award was given to some other company. You win some and you lose some and I always walk away being thrilled to just be nominated! Some other companies argue and bitch and moan ...I mean it is porn people, but there is someone in the industry that thinks he is part of the mainstream TV/movie industry. Get over it and stop bitching and whining!
My boyfriend, girlfriend and I went to get some microwave burritos during the intermission, I mean we were really hungry, but when we returned it appears the people at my table used my award as a trash receptacle...so I had to take a picture so you all could see the horror and shock I was in! Anyway, after the awards my baby and I just went home to cuddle since the previous evening we went out to the Rentboy pre-party at the End Up and ran into a ton of porn people and my good friend Chi Chi who totally tried to molest my bambino as he did a little strip show....HOT!
After visiting my family Rich, my girlfriend and I took a road trip back to LA where I have been ever since. Last night we actually went to HERE and ran into DJ Chi Chi LaRue, cute Blake Riley, the infamous Jonathan Chang, Jason Sechrest, the ever entertaining Bobby Trendy and then Lady Bunny stormed in. What more can one ask for than a ton of hot dancers and two infamous/famous drag queens pumping up the house! I decided to make it an early departure since I am actually getting quite tired of party party party....and more party! Tomorrow I finally go home to Miami Beach after basically two months on the road.
So, between the time of the awards in LA and the awards in San Francisco I went to go see my bambino in Colorado. If any of you watch South Park then you may have seen the episode where Cartman crashes a Mexican restaurant called "Casa Bonita." Well, my bambino told me that it actually exists at a strip mall in a Denver suburb so we totally had to go and rip through it just like Cartman did! The food is soooo lacking anything authentic, especially the Velveeta cheese used to smother everything, but it is fun to go to Black Bart's Cave, see the Cliff Divers and watch a man in a gorilla outfit chase a "gringa" around the restaurant while Mariachis play "la cucaracha" and other typical Mexican music.
