So like nearly everyone else, I also caught the “AVN flu” and have been laying pretty low since I got back from Vegas on the 12th.  Vegas this year was amazing and wonderful in so many ways, and a little stressful in other ways, but overall a great success.  Every year we stay at the Wyndham Grand Desert Resort, an off-strip resort, and the suites are huge and have a full kitchen, laundry and jacuzzi tubs, and the best part is when you’re returning from the Convention & after parties at night, there are no irritating slot machines making noise as you make your way to your room.  The stressful part was regrettably from the hotel.  They couldn’t seem to keep our reservations straight, (we had arranged for many rooms for us as well as our students taking Johnny’s workshop) and yet the resort kept checking us out before our reservation was complete, and locking people out of their rooms at 10 in the morning – considering we were usually just arriving home a couple of hours prior, this really sucked!  But all in all, it was a fantastic week.

I’m just downloading pics from my iPhone now, and for the life of me, I can only find 1 pic online from the red carpet at the 2010 AVN Award Show, but if I find more, I’ll post them.  My date for the show was Ameatabh Bachan, (he played Prince Amir in ‘The 8th Day’), and Ren Savant, the director of the film.  Also taking pictures with us on the red carpet was David Lord, one of the Producers of the film.

The awards show was held the Pearl Theater at the Palms Hotel, and it was actually a really nice venue.  It was a full house, and well attended by both industry and fans alike.  The opening entertainment was actually entertaining, with a performance by Baby Bash with some really talented acrobatic dancers, and the comedian Dave Attell.  There were also some really funny video skits including my favorite, Evan Stone and Ron Jeremy getting cozy in one of those snuggly blankets with sleeves… I guess you just have to see it – I believe the show will be broadcast like it was last year, after they edit it for TV.

Some other highlights of the week included the Ultimate After Party, which was held both Friday and Saturday nights at the Venetian, hanging out at the circle bar at the Venetian, catching up with friends I haven’t seen since last year’s AEE/AVN Awards, and of course sitting at our usual place at the Grand Lux Cafe, watching everyone go by, while eating such yummy food   I didn’t sleep much that week, on average 2-4 hours per night, but I’ve been doing my best to make up for it since.  A lot of the outfits I wore this week I actually made myself, my two favorites were the purple zebra skirt/legwarmers/gloves outfit, and my Giraffe costume, complete with giraffe horns!

I am, after all, The Giraffe Princess!  That nickname is, of course, because of my wicked deepthroating talent and skill

And here’s a shot of the zebra print outfit: (sorry about the bad quality, it was taken with my iPhone, which doesn’t have a flash, or the ability to zoom or focus)

I’m sure I’m leaving a bunch of things out, but that’s all I can do for now.  I think I’m still jet-lagged so I’m going to go curl up on the couch with my kitties and probably fall asleep while watching a movie.  I finally got a copy of  “The 8th Day” so maybe I’ll check out more of the DVD extras on that.

xoxo Violet
