I won Best Actress at the XBiz Awards and I wasn’t on the guest list to get in.

WOW what an honor to win both AVN’s Best Actress and now the XBiz Awards
Best Actress. But I guess some where down the line I didn’t make the VIP/Guest List Cut…Huh? Yeah. I wasn’t on the list to get into the soiree.
Ok, so ticketless I slipped into the party like a crasher and past the front guards undetected…and let me tell you this place was PACKED! I mean, the whole adult industry was there and EVERY single dude in a 10 mile radius was there too wearing their best Affliction blazers…
Anyways, I squeezed through the crowd and made my way over to the VIP area. The ONLY area with floor access to the stage. I couldn’t get in it of course, because I’m a ‘party crasher’ so I repeatedly attempted to fix the issue, telling anyone with a walkie talkie “But Xbiz TOLD me to be here!” finally, after doing this 5 or 20 times I gave up.
I walked out to the freezing cold Red Carpet area to take this ‘I WAS THERE’ photo. I am SUPER happy I won. But I wish I could have been there to except my award properly.
NL- This happens to Kimberly after so many press releases were put out all over the place saying that any adult performer didn’t NEED a ticket to get in, and that ALL nominees would be on a list to get in at the door.I’m very disappointed in this huge screw up.
Wow, I don’t know which XBiz Awards Kimberly was at(lol) but the one we were at had nobody blocking any backstage doors or security keeping people out from the green room at least from what I remember. I walked freely in and out of that area when we presented and when we won awards a couple of times. Kimberly is fantastic and she deserved to get up on that stage but maybe it was time for her to let them know who she was because I am sure they would have welcomed her with open arms. I just can’t imagine her having to sneak into the awards show and then getting blocked at every check point as that is quite strange but I guess she had a different experience than everybody else.
Will,
You had a VIP wristband on, Kimberly didn’t.
The XBIZ party that I attended was pretty disorganized. Even though I had contacted XBIZ by e-mail and spoken to Moe by phone, when we arrived Kimberly Kane, Bobbi Starr, Dana DeArmond nor myself were on the guest list (we were supposed to be under Spieglergirls + 10). I found Moe but he would only give me tickets to enter the Avalon – no VIP wristbands. So none of the aforementioned girls, ALL OF WHOM WERE NOMINEES, were able to get into the VIP area that accessed the stage.
Oh I see that makes total sense now. But when Kimberly Kane won, why didn’t she just walk up on stage directly out of the audience? She would not have needed to get anywhere near the VIP side area to access the stage. When we won we just walked out of the audience and up onto the stage or at least I think that’s what we did. I was drinking so what the heck do I know?
hahahaha that is a good one!! No denial there!!
Not surprised, Mr Spiegler, when I went, I saw the same stuff, nominees, etc who couldn’t get in, couldn’t find someone to help, etc. Media area didn’t open on time, and so forth. Not worth attending.
