So most of you know that I was nominated for Favorite Star Website at the FAME Awards. I emailed you, bulletined you, wrote to you, messaged you, posted on boards, and I think got a ton of people to vote and visit the FAME website to vote. It is supposedly a fan based award and I was shocked frankly to be even named in a category when I am basically an industry outsider doing my thing on the internet with the support of fans like you.

The FAME Awards, like the AVN Awards were and are terrific opportunities for companies to push and promote stars of latest box cover DVD releases - relevant, fun and important if that is your thing. A funny thing happened has really put a kink in the adult DVD business model though............ the internet. As some of you know, I jumped from doing DVD boxcover movies to running my own website (and now website network) three years ago. I have extended my career in the process and taken the middle man entirely out of the equation - direct downloads straight to you. There is no production company behind me. I sit at my computer and hack out a living, shooting when I can, and putting it up online straight to the adult community. If enough people buy a monthly membership I stay in business. Luckily, my official site has never been more successful and we have expanded to a network of seven websites. So, it came as quite a shock that somehow my industry outsider website was nominated for an award at an industry run event such as FAME.

Don't get me wrong. I was happy to be there (as you can see from this pic with Sunny Lane). I loved interacting with the fans and going to the awards. The awards were very well run. Stormy Daniels did a great job of presenting and all the winners are hot stars in their own right. Having said that, I left thinking that the voting should have been open. Before any of you jump up and down that perhaps I am a sore loser because TeraPatrick.com got favorite star website (not Vickyathome - my official site), I should tell you about some other industry scuttle.

I read MikeSouth.com from time to time, a nice read about the insider view of the adult industry. According to Mike:

"Belladonna posted the following From her Twitter:
# I do not support the award show that happened tonight, please do not mention it to me. I only want awards that are REAL!!
# Last year I was lied to and I would rather not have another award that means nothing. Staying true to my word feels good.
No word on why she doesn’t like the Fame awards or what they did to her…but damn that’s pretty harsh commentary."

I am NOT gonna say that anyone should not have won, or that so and so does NOT have the hottest body, or the best ass, or best boobs, that Pirates II was not the best movie. I can however tell you that you should maybe ask yourself why would a a huge star like Belladonna WHO WON TWO AWARDS speak out (since it is not in her professional interests to bag on the companies that hand out awards)?

I cannot and will not bash any girls in the competition. Of course girls like Tera Patrick, Teagan Presley & Stormy Daniels are smoking hot. My complaint? The votes should have been open to the world with clear rules. When this competition first got started FAME indicated that voting ended June 4. That link disappeared from the FAME website. Another fan read the voting ended the night before the competition, but fans wrote saying they were still voting the day of the competition.  When you did enter your votes, there were no totals to see how anyone was doing.

When it comes right down to it what is so wrong with doing what other great competitions do? Post the vote totals as they happen? If the organizers were so interested in what the fans had to say, why not make it public so that the fans can get involved like they do for the All Star game? When the tally is open fans can rally and see if a particular star is gaining ground or not. I hate to think that the thousands of votes that were cast were in vain - particularly my fans on the net. One of my fans wrote saying that the mechanism to vote was a glorified email collector so that people around the world could be spammed for months to come with the latest adult releases for them to buy from the companies who run the event.  This concern by fans could be avoided with a running tally so that fans can see the vote as they cast it.

I think the guys who run FAME did a great job of the event.  I enjoyed being there and participating.  I would however love to know how many votes it took to win Favorite Website..... as you guys know I love interacting with people and if I was close to winning the fan vote, I would have worked even harder for your votes.  I would have rallied for votes day and night had there been a chance of winning.

Open up the voting FAME - the fans deserve it.

Beam me up Scotty - the organizers of FAME probably don't like me now.

I'm not a big fan of internet voting contests like this.  I haven't seen a single one that isn't somehow compromised by people rigging 10,000 votes for 1 person they like somehow.  That being said, I'm sure there's ways to make it more conducive to fans and properly monitored as you mentioned.  When I voted, I didn't encounter the spam issue the person you spoke to mentioned, although I keep getting BBW personals spam in my email account but that preceded this for a WHILE, not sure why.<br /><br />All I can say is this:  you've built an empire all by yourself, ran by yourself, and uncompromised as such.  That IS America to me (for how long?  not sure, but that's a side bar I won't get into).  You should be proud of what you've survived and put together in your career.  Stay safe and enjoy the accolades that come w/it.

Sorry you didn't win,Vicky,but you're right,we should be given an idea of how many votes each category had so far.Not sure how many times i voted,but would've voted more if i'd've known.As for losing to Tera Patrick,at least you're in good company.

..The truth is that it should be an open vote or whats the point? You leave yourself open to all kinds of questions like the one pointed out and the obvious one of why FAME was started. So that the fans not the big companys could say who was best not just a companys new hot money maker. ..

Yeah, I totally agree.  It would be nice if FAME actually worked, but I think the website was broken the entire time.  I was only able to vote once, well once per email address. Then I just went to the site a minute ago and it let me vote again ??  Plus it didn't even show the results.  One thing's for sure, you know a bad shaft when you've gotten one, right?  FAME's absolutely a two incher...<br />....On a side note, have you noticed the way the sword in your background slides right between yours and sunny's tongue?  I gotta admit I've been sliding your image up and down it's getting me kinda hard ... !..

I agree with you 100 percent. The Fame Awards could learn a thing or two from Twistys. Fame should open up the voting just as Twistys does so all can see who is getting the votes. For myself, I think you all are winners. The ladies in the business work hard with all  of the traveling, living in and out of hotels, photo shoots, promotional gigs, filming, dancing and interacting with the fans. You are a fantastic looking woman and I wish you would have won. I can tell you love interacting with your fans and I am sure all of your fans appreciates all of your time and effort.<br />

Wow... thanks for the nice words Jack! The girls in this business do work very hard - and not in the way some of you are thinking! <br />

You are very welcome for the words. I read a blog that Bree Olsen wrote a few weeks ago and she went into detail just how much work the ladies has to do and she said making videos is only a small percentage of the work involved so I have learned to appreciate everything you and the other ladies put into your careers. Maybe when I graduate from college with a degree in communications/journalism I can land a job with one of the adult publications and get some interviews with some of the stars and put into perspective just what it is like in the business. Who knows. It is just a thought.<br />

I posted my thoughts on this over on you blogsite, but suffice to say that, in my eyes, you are very underrated, as few woman are as beautiful or as awesome as you are, in the biz, or otherwise. <br />

I totally agree,it should have been similar to the Twisty's vote recently which was updated hourly for everyone to see the number of votes for each contestant,the girls competing were campaigning for votes like crazy all day long on facebook,twitter and myspace,girls like Bree olson,Eva angelina and Kayden Kross,it made it that much more interesting and dare I say it? fun. On a different note I just needed to let you know your cop outfit pics are insanely hot,I can't get enough of them lol,keep up the good work...<br />

Don't be disheartened. These contests, while nice to win and receive the award are truly meaningless. You have made what you are independently and successfully. You are one of the sexiest and ..REAL.. Stars of the industry. You always seem to be really enjoying yourself when your on camera. Uff Da you are great. You are one of the few stars I feel could carry on a great conversation with in person without being totally focused on yourself. My greatest hope is to someday run into you (not literally) here in Atlanta and be able to say Hi.<br />

You know what you got, that your competitors don't have......MOXIE
I'm not sure what that is but you got shitload of it. Besides Tera Patrick always had that looks like she's can't wait to cash her pay check. Not sure she even enjoys her job.....well not as much as you do. Again you have moxie, and your fans love you for it.
Peace, Lars
