For the past several years, Erotica LA has been an annual summertime tradition at the LA Convention Center, with Conan O'Brien on his short-lived edition of The Tonight Show even mentioning its existence. But while that adult convention is not happening this year, in its place this weekend is eXXXotica Los Angeles.
"EXXXOTICA Los Angeles, presented by HotMovies.com, is an adult entertainment fan's dream come true, with over 100 adult stars, both past and present, scheduled to appear," according to their press release. "The list includes superstars Belladonna, Ron Jeremy, Sunny Lane, Jenna Haze, Joanna Angel, Sunny Leone, Teagan Presley, the girls of Wicked Pictures (jessica drake, Kaylani Lei, Kirsten Price, Alektra Blue, Lupe Fuentes), the girls of Scandal [Joslyn James, Holly Sampson, Melissa Smith and January Ryan (aka January Gessert)], the girls of LA Direct Models with such stars as Kagney Linn Karter, Gina Lynn, Alexis Texas, Phoenix Marie, Brooke Haven, Mckenzie Lee, Angel Dark, Lexi Belle, Amy Brooke, Krissy Lynn, Isis Taylor, Breanne Benson, Alanah Rae, and many others who will all make their only Southern California appearances of 2010."
The convention starts today for fans from 4:00-1:00 PM, Saturday from 1:00-11:00 PM (with the FAME Awards also taking place that evening), and Sunday from 12:00-7:00 PM.
