This June, along with announcing the winners of the AltStar Awards aka AltPorn Awards presented by Bad Dragon, we inducted a few key people into the AltStar Hall of Fame. These are people who have truly changed the shape of alt and made a difference for all creators in the space.
We loved the posts made on socials afterwards and have shared those below as well.
First up, we have Lily Lane. From her start with BurningAngel nearly a decade and a half ago, Lily Lane has consistently brought her individual tattooed aesthetic and incredible work ethic to, not only sites in the niche like Inked Vixens XXX and AltErotic, but all the big studios including Brazzers, Kink.com, and EvilAngel. Despite an alternative look which was rare at the time, her relentless performing helped advance these aesthetics. She was AltPorn’s Female Performer of the Year in 2017 for her try-anything attitude and body of work.

Next up, we have trailblazer Kendra James. She did early adult work for most of the Kink.com sites, back when it was in the Armory in San Francisco. She appeared on BlueBlood.com, StaggStreet, BarelyEvil, CrazyBabe, and GothicSluts. As a performance artist, she toured with metal bands, performed at haunt attraction House of Shock, and appeared on MTV. Back before cosplay was even a tag on tube sites, she took her varied fetish experience and started producing superheroine clips, contributing to the establishment of multiple alt genres.

Omg! I received Hall of Fame last night at the AltStar awards! Thank you so much! #altstarawards #bluebloodmagazine @realameliag @23blackcats
Lastly, we have Leo Radvinsky. It is not overstatement to say Leo had the biggest impact of anyone on the production of alternative erotica. From MyFreeCams to OnlyFans, he made it possible for indie alternative creators to create what they wanted to create and find their own niches, without having to go through some studio. AltPorn.Net was the first to give one of his sites an award, back when the AltPorn Awards were digital only. We were able to become an in-person show partly because Leo from MyFreeCams insisted on covering the budget to make it happen. For many years, MyFreeCams was also the top sponsor on AltPorn.Net and the Presenting Sponsor of AltStar Magazine. He believed in our dreams and supported our dreams and the dreams of so many others. The world is less bright without him in it.
See the Winners!
