Wednesday evening, Cybersocket held their 13th Annual Cybersocket Web Awards at The Factory Nightclub in West Hollywood, CA. The Cybersocket Web Awards is the only event of its kind honoring the best gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transsexual (GLBT) websites. There are categories for both industry recognition as well as the surfer’s (aka people’s) choices. Industry categories would include Best Web Host and Best Webmaster Resource; while the surfer’s categories included Best Ethnic-Themed Site and Best Novelties Site.
The Factory was packed and it seemed it was primarily surfers, eager to catch a glimpse of their favorite gay porn star. There was plenty to keep them entertained throughout the evening.

These photos are from day one of the adult industry trade show, XBIZ 360, held at the Sofitel Hotel in Hollywood. XBIZ is doing something a little different this year. Last year they had XBIZ LA for the Internet webmasters at the Sofitel, then had their retail and media shows at a different location. This year they are having six events, with five of them being held at the Sofitel with the sixth event being the XBIZ Awards which will be Friday at the Century Plaza Hotel.
Today they had the Adult Retail Conference and the Pleasure Products Conference; with the topics ranging from Selling Sex Products Online to The Future of Pleasure Products. They had six panels in all and two keynote speakers for each conference; Ethan Imboden of Jimmyjane for the Pleasure Products Conference and Phyllis Heppenstall of Peekay for the Retail Conference. I have to say, there were some very interesting conversations. Read the rest of this entry »

As we approach Thanksgiving and the Christmas holiday season it is easy to forget that not everyone has it as good as you do. In today’s economy those that are unable to afford even a Christmas tree, much less something under it, is higher than ever. This also effects the amount of donations received by charities set up to help the underprivileged. Luckily, for a relatively few families, Angels Giving Tree is there to help.
Established in 2011 and run by a couple adult industry veterans, Angels Giving Tree has the goal of helping as many families with children at the holidays as possible. Last year they raised $10,000 and helped give a better Christmas to about 200 children. Angels Giving Tree is a registered Not For Profit organization in Florida and they have applied for their 501(c)3 with the IRS.
The concept was started several years ago when Pattyecake and Todd “SexToyKing” Oster held their annual toy drive. In 2011 Todd died and Forest of Silver Cloud Design decided to take the ball and run with it. Local charitable organizations provide suggestions of families with children that need help and Angels Giving Tree uses the donations they receive to find and deliver the gifts to those that will truly appreciate it.
