These photos are from the first ever FSC Summit, put on by the Free Speech Coalition and held at the Sofitel Hotel in Beverly Hills. As this adult industry summit was held just two days after LA County Measure B was passed, the timing was ideal and probably contributed to the high attendance even though there did not seem to be a lot of pre-show advertising. Topics discussed included emerging world markets, the story behind Measure B and what will happen now as well as diversification of marketing of adult products. I had a prior engagement scheduled so I could not stay until the end, but there will be an awards presentation later.
I only heard about this event two or three days ago so I was pleasantly surprised at the attendance which seemed to be between 200-300 people. The panelists included the lobbyists that presented their ideas on what is on the horizon for the adult industry. One might be surprised to learn that the sky is not falling . . . yet. The fight against Measure B proved that the adult industry has friends in the mainstream, but they need to discontinue the policy of trying to stay under the radar. Adult is an industry, and it is our job to make sure other businesses know it. Read the rest of this entry »

With the elections coming around in a few days, I thought I would give my opinion about a really dumb measure that is coming before the voters of Los Angeles County; that would be the Los Angeles Porn Actors Required to Wear Condoms Act, Measure B. You know, I may point out problems in someone’s argument, but that does not mean I do not agree with their position. I think the fact that this is even on the ballot is a huge waste of taxpayer’s money, and enforcement is going to be cost ridiculous. No way are a few companies going to cover the cost involved with that; another levy on the rest of us. The point is, it is a waste of money we do not have to waste. I am not suggesting that condoms should not be used or at least offered to performers. I have read several reasonable suggestions; Measure B is not one of them. Vote NO on MEASURE B, please.

I am happy to announce that PimpsPromo will be attending and photographing the upcoming adult trade show, XBIZ 360° Adult Entertainment Conference and the XBIZ Awards. The event is scheduled to run from January 9-12, 2013 at the Sofitel Hotel in Hollywood; with the XBIZ Awards being held at the Century Plaza Hotel in Century City on January 11, 2013.
Formerly known as XBIZ LA, last years event included multiple events at different locations. This year the adult trade show has been renamed XBIZ 360° and while there are still the film/content, sex toys and the brick-and-mortar/e-commerce products sub-conferences, they have all been integrated with the conference for adult Internet marketers to all be held at the same location; thus XBIZ 360°. This show will cover all aspects of the adult industry.
