If you're a fan attending the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) in Las Vegas this January, then you really shouldn't miss the Legends Of Erotica event, held this year on January 9th at 8:30 pm. Proceeds from the event will be divided between P.A.W. Foundation (Protecting Adult Welfare) and Free Speech Coalition. P.A.W. Foundation (Protecting Adult Welfare) is a longstanding non-profit organization founded by Bill Margold to help members of the adult industry community face the kinds of crises endemic to the sex business -- mental, physical and legal.

One of the more traditional events held during the adult convention every year is the Legends of Erotica induction ceremonies. Raymond Pistol, owner of Arrow Productions as well as numerous other ventures, has turned one of his Las Vegas adult bookstores, Showgirl Video, into a shrine and location for this annual event. The walls in the warehouse-sized room are lined with large squares of cement decorated with signatures, boob and butt prints, and other adult video memorabilia.

Every year, this high-profile media and fan bonanza features some excellent talent. Christi Lake will host with MC Bill Margold. This year's inductions will honor Alicia Rio, T.T. Boy, Victoria Paris, Angel Kelly and Rhonda Jo Petty. The guest inductors (always equally famous) will be announced soon. The chosen few inductees are honored with an induction ceremony, including a ceremonial imprint of a body part in cement. During the ceremonies, while the next batch of cement is firming up, each participant makes a short speech and fields questions about themselves and the business from the fans and press in the audience.

Following the inductions will be an evening of feature dancing, starring headliner Summer Haze and a new class of feature entertainers including Lizzy Law and Pamela Peaks -- plus more talent to be announced. This whole event is a lot of fun for fans, and you'll have a chance to share in the industry's expression of thanks to its own.
