Feminst Awards Show

I'm a feminist. And I like porn. A lot of times, these two things are seen are mortal enemies of one another, but thanks to the Candadia female-friendly sex store, feminism and porn go hand in hand at the 2nd annual Feminist Porn Awards.


Canadian female-friendly adult shop Good For Her will celebrate its 10th anniversary at its second Porn Awards tomorrow night, where attendees will enjoy burlesque, karaoke and a special screening of "Give Piece of Ass a Chance."
Good For Her Manager Chanelle Gallant told XBIZ that winners in the 12 categories are chosen by the company's staff, who use three distinct criteria in their decision.


The winner must encompass at least two of the three necessary components: A woman must have had a prominent role in its production, the film must show authentic female pleasure, and the film must expand the range of sexual expression for women by going beyond the typical stereotypes of female sexuality.


Award categories include Hottest Straight Sex Scene, Hottest Bi Sex Scene, Hottest Diverse Cast — for a film featuring a multiracial cast, but refuses to exoticize its ethnic actors — and Indie Porn Pioneer, for which an independent pornographer is showcased.


The night will begin with a panel of top female industry members. Anna Span, Britain's first female adult director, will be on hand, as well as erotic documentary producer Peggy Comstock and queer, ethnic erotic producer Shine Louise Houston. The women will discuss the various ways feminism plays a role in their work.


Attendees also will enjoy a Jenna Jameson tribute drag show, as well as a burlesque performance with an oversized, hollowed-out cake as a special prop.


I wish I could be there! And next week, Venus Vegas will have some more info about the lucky winners.
