About XRCO:
Founded in 1984, the XRCO was formed to give writers and editors from the adult entertainment industry a voice in selecting the best in and brightest in the world of adult cinema. Original members included a small group of writers from Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia. Over the years, select and qualified membership has expanded to include some of the best adult reviewers from both print and internet. In 2005, the XRCO welcomed its first European members. 2009 marked a quarter century of excellence with the XRCO’s Silver Anniversary.
About Nikki Benz:
Arguably the most famous Canadian adult film star ever, Nikki Benz has parlayed her good looks, stunning curves, natural talent, work ethic and keen business sense into a highly successful career. She has starred in over 100 adult films, graced the pages of virtually every men’s magazine on the planet, becoming a Penthouse Cover Girl and Hustler Honey. Nikki has achieved crossover success with mainstream projects, including a recurring character on FOXSports.com’s hit web series ”Cubed.” Nikki is currently hard at work producing exclusive content for her re-launched web site www.NikkiBenz.com. She also tours the world entertaining her legions of fans with dance engagements and celebrity appearances.
About Lisa Ann:
Lisa Ann has had two tremendously successful careers in the adult entertainment industry while most women would be happy to have just one. Returning to adult, Lisa Ann found huge success with the hugely popular ”Nailin Palin” series and ”Interactive Sex with Lisa Ann” among dozens of others. Lisa has also enjoyed crossover success with appearances on HBO, MTV, VH1 and in Eminem’s video for ”We Made you.” Beyond her career in front of the camera Lisa Ann runs a highly successful talent agency, Lisa Ann Talent Management.
