Thursday, February 12 was the XBIZ awards in Hollywood. There’s a press release here about the awards that Belladonna and Manuel Ferrara won for Best Director (Body of Work) and Best Male Performer.

I went to the awards straight from working late, and John me there after a dinner he went to where an economist was speaking. I saw some of my favorite people, including the gorgeous but camera-shy Acme Anderson, Devan Cypher, Mr. Pete, Jessica Drake, Belladonna and Aiden, and Mr. Marcus. Mark Spiegler was there with several of his girls including Kristina Rose, Adrianna Nicole, Dana DeArmond and Aiden Starr. Adrianna, Dana and Aiden kept John happily distracted the majority of the evening, which I’m happy for since when he doesn’t enjoy himself at an event, it decreases the chances of him attending the next one.

Belladonna and Aiden were up near the front, with Sasha Grey.

Jenna Haze made a point of telling me backstage that she was getting drunk. She also announced on stage that she was getting drunk and fucking that night. I’ve said it before, and I’ll probably say it a whole bunch more times, I love that girl.

A month after winning multiple AVN awards, Evil Angel Director/Performer double threats Belladonna and Manuel Ferrara did it again at the 2009 XBIZ Awards.

The XBIZ ceremony took place February 12 at the trendy and spacious Hollywood spot Boulevard 3. Belladonna graciously accepted the Best Director award, which encompassed her directorial vision for all of her 2008 movies including her vignette movie Discovering Alexis Texas which was also up for the Best Gonzo Movie award. The movie stars Alexis, each scene taking place in a different era, from the 70s through modern day. Belladonna also performs in a scene with Alexis, giving college girl Alexis pointers on blowjobs.

Evil Angel owner John Stagliano praises, “Belladonna has constantly surprised me at how good she is at directing her scenes. She can capture reality, and sexuality as well as I have ever seen.”

Manuel Ferrara received the “Male Performer of the Year” trophy, an honor he has won at multiple award shows including AVN, XRCO and NINFA.

Belladonna was also nominated in the Performer of the Year category, while Manuel and Jonni Darkko were both nominated for Director of the Year. Their distribution company Evil Angel was up for Studio of the Year, which it won in 2008.

General Manager Christian Mann , “At a time when we face so many challenges and are working so hard to master the constantly changing delivery platforms, it’s nice to know the one thing in porn that hasn’t changed is the position of Evil Angel and its directors as the cream of the crop. I’m lucky to have a job selling the most sought after movies in the industry.”

This week was full of goodbyes. In my line of work, this isn’t always a bad thing.

Saying goodbye to Jazz Duro was sad. Only once a year do I get to feel those strong arms and hear that sexy voice, while the other 11+ months are filled with looking at the picture of his dick proudly hung in Lissa’s office. So, as he left, I got that one last hug, and as I pulled back, Jazz affectionately told me how he would love to cum all over my tits. Now as a woman in an administrative position, this comment was almost enough to send me over the edge. Just an ordinary girl who gets to go home and fantisize about Jazz and his huge cock and sexy accent. It looks like I’m going to need more batteries.

But to really top off my week, Jay Sin, one of my favorites, came to say goodbye before he embarked on his six-month-long tour of European buttholes. Before he left he grabbed a handful of my hair from the back, tilting my head down, and gave a couple of yanks which genuinely expressed how much he would miss me. And as I leaned back and smiled I’m sure he realized how much I would miss him.

While sometimes I am chastised for my bedside manner with the directors, I have to say, maybe it’s not always a negative. Think of all the aggression they have pent up from my harassing calls about turning in their movies on time. I bet it’s enough to cause them to want to hate-fuck me. It makes one truly enjoy the fruits of their labor.
