With Adult Time—a titan among industry studios—serving as the gold sponsor, PornCrush’s Media and Networking Day was deemed an overwhelming success by seemingly all of the 100-plus performers who flocked to the Hollywood Hills on a sunny Sunday afternoon, when a sense of industry unity and togetherness permeated throughout a luxurious 5,000-square-foot mansion swarming with star power.

It truly was a sight to behold. A-list stars such as Gina Valentina and Kira Noir mingling with surging newcomers like Iris Leon and Mira Luv … longtime director Chris Streams talking with first-year performer Luna Columbiana about a potential shoot … photographers Jay David and Nick Camacho summoning iconic talents such as Kylie Rocket, Blake Blossom and others to a balcony for jaw-dropping photos featuring the Hollywood Hills as a backdrop.

“The party was not only so much fun, but also a game-changer for my career,” Columbiana said.

Everywhere you looked, girls were either posing, networking, catching up with friends or making new ones. And that, PornCrush editor Austin King said, is what the day was all about.

“I love bringing people together,” King said. “I think it’s easy in this industry to feel isolated at times, simply because of the nature of the work and because there aren’t many opportunities to connect away from set.

“The goal of Media Day was to remind performers that they are part of a special group—and to make them feel supported. I’m big on this industry having a family vibe. These performers may not all know each other, but they all know each other. I hope they felt a sense of that, and I hope everyone made some new friends.”

Judging by the pictures, everyone certainly did.

And virtually everyone walked away with enough high-level photographs and reels to fill up their Instagram and X accounts for months to come.

Veteran lensman Dean Capture—who set up a mini-studio in a private room, away from the hoopla—estimates he shot portraits of more than 50 performers between 2 and 7 p.m. Freelance photographer Jeff Koga did the same after erecting a backdrop in the living room, while Morbid Thoughts and Natasha Inamorata snapped scenic shots at a designated space outside. Rick Garcia worked his magic on the outdoor red carpet, while Jay David, Nick Camacho, Rawstarr, Pictureboi and others snaked throughout the premises snapping candids.

The hosts of the fast-rising Two Goons Podcast were on hand to scout future guests, while reels creator Javi Mac spoke with performers throughout the afternoon and evening. PornCrush contributor Captain Jack conducted multiple interviews while AVN’s Tod Hunter familiarized himself with new faces.

“I flew to LA specifically for this event,” Vegas-based performer Scarlett Rosewood said. “It was so nice to get face time with so many producers and photographers. And all of the performers were so nice. The girls who have been in the industry longer than me made me feel so welcome. I made so many contacts.”

Attendees were also treated to an open bar featuring top-shelf liquor, and each performer was given a gift bag that included bath bombs, candles, lube, Liquid IVs, a PornCrush cutoff tank top and two sex toys provided by event sponsor Our Erotic Journey. A masseuse was also on hand to provide free massages on a table set up in the shade outside.

“It was such a safe, well-put-together event,” director/performer Ricky Johnson said. “I met so many new performers and the vibes were incredible. Selfishly, I hope Austin does another one soon.”

Director/performer Mike Adriano, who sponsored the event, agreed.

“There were so many hot women everywhere I looked … I couldn’t think straight,” he said. “Austin throws the best events in the industry. All of the top girls go to his parties, and that’s because they are very high end. He spares no expense and does things first class. He makes people feel very welcome and very safe, and that makes it easy to relax and have fun.”

As pleased as he was with the event, King said it wouldn’t have been possible without the backing of Adult Time. The studio had its own tent in the backyard, which provided ample space for directors Siouxsie Q, Michael Vegas, Avery Black and David Lord to network with performers while Alison Rey conducted interviews.

“It’s fitting that Adult Time sponsored this event at such a high level, because Bree Mills and her crew are all about elevating and advocating for performers and making them feel appreciated and safe—just like we are at PornCrush,” King said. “I think this event aligned with both of our missions, and I’m proud to be associated with the Adult Time brand.”

King also thanked BANG!, Adriano and Tad Pole for their continued support.

“All three of them have sponsored our events in the past,” King said. “They believe in what we’re doing at PornCrush and have become good friends of the site. I love studios who treat their performers well, and that’s an underlying theme with each of them.”

King said all of the positive feedback has motivated him to continue to make Media and Networking Day a yearly event.

“It’s the best thing we do at PornCrush,” King said. “I take a lot of pride in it.”
