Event Details
The event was hosted by Banksie, who expressed her enthusiasm for seeing the attendees' outfits and promoting trans masc representation in the adult industry. The venue featured two red carpets, one on Vine Street and another under the theater's canopy, with backdrops carrying 31 sponsor logos.
Inside the Avalon, sponsor tables filled the floor, and sponsor logos flashed on the side screens. The show's logo was prominently displayed in brightly colored balloons. Brittany Andrews, a veteran performer, spoke about her production "The Naughty Nanny," which featured two trans masc performers who had to create a lexicon due to their different backgrounds.
