BBW Fan Fest PhotoBlog (or "How I Became a Porn Journalist") NSFW

7/30/2013

 
So many kinds of fat girl good have happened in the past two weeks.

I've been traveling non-stop and am many blogs behind; so you'll be seeing many posts this week, friend. I spent the weekend in Las Vegas at BBW FanFest with TroubleFilms promoting the release of Lesbian Curves: Hard Femme (which I spent all weekend watching.. on a loop.. spoiler: it was uber hot).

The story behind this weekend begins:

So, Courtney Trouble asks me if I want to go to Vegas with 3 BBW porn stars...

Courtney suggests that I come along and write about the experience. So, immediately I have these ideas that I'm going to be the Hunter S. Thompson or Jack Kerouac equivalent of BBW porn journalists.

So, DUH, I said YES. And then Kitty Stryker said that we would be driving to Vegas. And here's a little of what that looked like...
Picture
Day 1 of the FanFest, I loved watching everyone get ready. Here is Courtney.

And here is Betty.

And here is Cinnamon Maxxine.

Me boothing out with two of the hothothot stars of Lesbian Curves: Kitty Stryker and Betty Blac.

And then my boobs met Norma Stitz' boobs and they were star struck! I think Norma won the lifetime BBW porn achievement award.

I got my hair and eyes done by The Cupcake Girls, who do amazing work supporting and offering beautifying services for free to folks in the adult industry!

On Saturday morning Kitty, Betty & Maxxine decided to go to the biggest little Las Vegas gift shop in the world. And then Kitty found this unicorn head, which she proceeded to wear (and stroke) during the rest of BBW FanFest, to the delight of many.

There was SO much amazing footwear at BBW FanFest. This is one of Courtney's yummy gold-rimmed wedges.
Picture
Don't worry! We got pool babe time in the 110 degree heat.
Picture
Saturday night was the awards show, preceded by a banquet with many fine tiny desserts. Courtney was nominated for 7 awards and Betty was nominated for 2.

I was really impressed by the panoply of femme swag we had with us at all times. Pictured here: post awards show swag.

The final day of FanFest, I attend the much-anticipated workshop, What You NEED to Know About Face Sitting, taught by Empress Kabani. I learned SO MUCH from this workshop. So. Much.
The art of face sitting is a delicate one. Obviously I was curious about face sitting, but in the past when partners have asked for it I have shied away - often because they were smaller than I am and I worried about crushing them. Well, Empress Kabani assured me that that was the point. Her pet (cute boy on the floor) loved getting stepped on and sat upon. You'll have to go to my Facebook feed for the video!

During the workshop I found myself becoming... well, a bit verklempt. I was sitting next to two cute Swedish guys and found myself the object of their attention. I decided that my porn journalism ethics (Rule #1 of porn journalism: porn documentation comes first!) outweighed my desire to just sit on their faces.

So, I waited until pool time to approach them and ask if them if they wanted to play. I had been eyeing and flirting with a cutecute security guard. It was between him and them, and I just went with the pure math of fat girl economics: two is better than one. I sauntered over in my fatkini and basically told them I needed some vibrator batteries and if they wouldn't mind getting me some, and well, I'm sorry but you'll have to take me to coffee for the rest of that story. 
Picture
Of course I was bummed to be leaving Las Vegas, but I found a TWINKIE in the middle of the Mojave Deserts. I knew it was a sing from glob that many more fat porn events would be in my future.
I had an AMAZING time at BBW FanFest with my first porn journalism gig! Special thanks to Courtney Trouble, Kitty Stryker, Betty Blac and Cinnamon Maxxine for making this weekend possible <3

Look up their work, buy Lesbian Curves (ohmigod BUY LESBIAN CURVES), and send them love and presents!

xo,
Virgie

    WHY IS THERE NO COMMENTS SECTION?
    I have permanently closed the comment section on my blog as of 8/20/15 so that I can better utilize the time I had previously dedicated to moderating comments. I encourage folks who have thoughts about my work to go out and have a conversation with someone about what you loved (or hated.. boo) about my writing over coffee.
