Since 2008, Bad Dragon has made it their mission to help bring fantasy themes to life with their toys. The wonderfully depraved and creative artists over at Bad Dragon are famous for their unique and varied custom colored fantastical silicone toys. Bad Dragon is remarkable for always having a wide range of designs with a lot of in-stock toys, for when you just can’t wait, and also for a wide range of customization for size, color, firmness, and pour style, when you absolutely have to have it your way. The fantasy toymaker’s variety extends from dildos to strokers to packers to sheathes you can wear down there to accessorize that fursuit to their newer award-winning ovipositors. Their desirable merch ranges from blacklights to view their UV pour toys to spooky character enamel pins to T-shirts which subtly communicate your interests to bumper stickers which read, “My other ride is a Bad Dragon.” Recent designs include a pair of punk hyena toys and a retooling of the ever-popular Chance the Horse.

We are thrilled to have Bad Dragon returning as sponsors for this year’s event.

This year, the AltStar Awards aka AltPorn Awards will again be taking place live in person in spring 2026, in Las Vegas, with fun industry-only activities June 11 and June 12 and the Fan Appreciation Day and AltStar Expo afterparty on June 13, and, of course, the Awards gala on June 14. Ticketing is open and prior year nominees, press, and potential sponsors are invited to get in touch via the AltPorn.Net contact form. Both past year nominees and winners and current year nominees receive complimentary Industry VIP tickets. Everyone can check out photos from past AltStar Awards to see how much fun the event is and plan what to wear.

Thanks again to Bad Dragon for making this epic show possible!

AltStar Expo

This is our fourth year now hosting this welcoming gathering place for the alternative community. This year, we’re excited to host our event at the historic Plaza Hotel & Casino in Downtown Las Vegas. This iconic venue blends vintage Rat Pack-era charm with modern edge. Built on the site of Vegas’ first train depot from 1905, The Plaza maintains its classic Vegas feel while featuring murals by renowned artists like Shepard Fairey, Faile, and D*Face. Its location at the head of the legendary Fremont Street Experience puts you steps away from Glitter Gulch, the original Las Vegas Strip with its iconic neon skyline, and tons of walking distance places to eat ranging from the award-winning Oscar’s Steakhouse to the open late Pinkbox Doughnuts inside the hotel to many more steps from its doors.

Network with community companies, creators, producers, makers, affiliates, webmasters, makeup artists, photographers, directors, stylists, etc. and their plus ones, during our Industry Days, or join us for our Fan Appreciation Day featuring our Artist Alley with exclusive demonstrations and meet-and-greets with your favorite alternative talents.

AltStar Awards

Cap off an unforgettable weekend at year fifteen of our annual AltStar Awards, celebrating excellence across the alternative culture landscape. Join us and and hundreds of the scene’s most influential creatives at Swan Dive, Downtown Las Vegas’s music-focused venue in the vibrant Arts District. Swan Dive is the perfect backdrop for our community—an Austin-born venue designed by music lovers for music lovers, priding itself on inclusivity and creative expression. With its spacious outdoor patio and wraparound balcony offering downtown skyline views, you’ll experience our awards ceremony in an authentically alternative atmosphere, just 1.7 miles from the Plaza. As always, the evening will kick off with our usual star-powered red carpet and open bar, followed by the ceremony and a special burlesque performance.

The first two days of the AltStar Expo were Industry only and then there was the brand new Fan Appreciation Day, followed by the AltStar Awards on the last day.

In addition to three days packed with panels and demos from top industry experts, the AltStar Expo has an exhibitor hall with booths from content and toy brands in the alt space, alongside carefully curated purveyors of everything deliciously alternative, from gothic jewelry to 3d printed kink, and, of course, on the Fan Appreciation Day, tons of wonderful altmodels. Attendees were able to shop for hard-to-find unique toys in person and get information about content creation and marketing and streaming. In addition, a lot of collaborative media was created right on the show floor. Thank you to Wandering Bard, Joystick, BlueBlood, Zinetastic, AltErotic, Gothurbate, Dan Eternal, Sinister Salon, Colorful Cook, Alchemist Echidna, Erotic Sky, Pleasure Print Studios, Paladin Pleasure Sculptors, Pleasure Forge, and everyone else who made the AltStar Expo exhibits and media halls such a fun and interesting success.

These images were shot by Rick Garcia, who is widely regarded as top tier for photographing adult industry events. You can follow him on X and Instagram.

The 2025 AltStar Awards celebration was truly amazing this year. We want to thank each and every one of you involved, from the companies and makers that support our vision for a greater alternative community to the producers and talented content creators, to all the legions of fans and friends that diligently nominated and voted to support some of the most awesome work we’ve seen. You all put so much into this and we are so proud to channel that energy into providing a strong and supportive network for all of you to keep creating the fantastic things that you do.

Our spectacular ceremony hosts were once again Jeffrey Damnit as Master of Ceremonies and Malice McMunn as the Trophy Goddess. 2022 and 2024 Best Modern Burlesque Winner Angel Beau showed off her signature style of alternative Vaudeville sideshow burlesque for the intermission entertainment. Our love goes out to all the people who made this weekend’s festivities truly special.

I want to take a moment to thank Bad Dragon, who doesn’t just “present” the event, but really believes in our vision of a positive collaborative and supportive community, rooted in the mutual goal of fostering great creative alternative sexuality and sexy fun expressions of remarkable individuality. We want to thank Platinum sponsor Chaturbate for all that they do to promote such a diverse sexuality in the cam space. Thank you to Platinum sponsor Zinetastic for curating such an interesting assortment of publications and helping us distribute all our own magazines (in print and digital) to all the readers. Thank you to Swan Dive Las Vegas for providing such a great venue for the ceremony too! A very special thank you goes to Blue Blood, Amelia G, and Forrest Black, for supporting us since day one, convincing us to have these awards shows for the community, helping us launch our magazines, and so much more. Also, thank you Blue Blood for providing safe party bus transportation to and from the expo/convention hotel and the awards venue. Thank you to Gold sponsors Wandering Bard, Nothosaur, and Dark Asteroid Pretty, and all of the great companies, brands, and creators who also help sponsor this event, and contribute all the fun goodies and giveaways and really helped us grow the awards and expo even more this year and have been vital to the event’s success and we are truly grateful for you all.

Be sure to check out all the event photos and footage, as well as the special 2025 Awards program issue of AltStar Magazine #26 to find out more about all these great brands and sponsors. The next days (and likely weeks) will be a torrent of media, from all the fantastic photographers and videographers who helped capture all the action from the entire four days, so definitely watch that tag for red carpet pics and more.

But, for now, I’m sure you want to get to who the winners are this year! One personal note that I wanted to share though, for the folks that were nominated this year, and know you have been doing top level work and maybe feel a little down that you didn’t happen to be called up to the stage this time around, I want you to keep in mind that this year’s trophies are for recognizing the work done in 2024, and we really do see you out there killing it in 2025, so we really do look forward to seeing you on the stage in 2026! We love that this community is so supportive of the ones who do win, but we’re also here to support everyone who is putting in their best work and we hope we can recognize each and every one of you, as well as give you the tools and network you need to keep doing all the great things you do.

This panel will provide a comprehensive guide to exploring large fantasy toys; covering essential topics such as body safety, preparation, and technique. With 7 years of experience in content creation, I’ll share my expertise on choosing the right Fantasy Toy, stretching methods, and how to stay within the ToS of various fan sites. I’ll provide insights into marketing strategies for creators looking to create content with large fantasy toys. Come learn how to work with monsters safely and profitably.

CEELCEE (CELIA DRAGON)

CeelCee is a passionate advocate for body positivity and sexual empowerment with almost 8 years of experience pushing boundaries in fantasy toy play. What started with her first “big” Bad Dragon toy in 2017 has grown into an expert-level understanding of anatomy, technique, and the art of working with extreme sizes. As a certified yoga instructor she applies her knowledge of movement, flexibility, and strength training to her videos, proving that taking care of your body and testing its limits aren’t mutually exclusive. Whether discussing safe stretching, the psychology of fantasy play, or content creation strategies, CeelCee brings a grounded yet fun perspective to the conversation to help others achieve their very BIG dreams.

5pm Thursday May 29 in the Boulder B panel room across the hall from the exhibits and media mixer Sierras Ballrooms in the 3rd floor of the Plaza Hotel and Casino Conference Center, as part of the AltStar Expo.

What is PR and why do people keep talking about it? It’s an important element if you’re a performer, creator and/or cam star to get your name out there (aka make your famous) with press releases, interviews, awards nominations, award wins, more premium social media and social medial followers and much more. Join Erika Icon and some of her many successful clients as they talk about how PR has helped further their careers.

ERIKA ICON

Entertainment’s Botched and even appeared on the show.

Here is the current official 2025 AltStar Expo and Awards events schedule. Check here for ticket information, and here if you still need to book a room in the Expo Hotel.

We still have a few speaker slots on some of the panels listed below, so please contact us if you would like to share knowledge with your peers. If you are press or a nominee, please contact us for complimentary tickets. Other Industry VIP tickets are available for purchase at altstarawards.com and all you need to do is list your socials or site or where your industry work can be seen and you are good to go.

We started the AltStar Awards aka AltPorn Awards, a decade and a half ago, to recognize some of the amazingly cool creative things that are always going on but often overlooked in our artistically sexual community. The sorts of things that the mainstream industry types might not have understood or appreciated back in the day. But, more and more, they are coming around to what we’ve always enjoyed: Breaking the mold and celebrating diverse individuality, punk rock DIY attitude, ethical creative processes, counterculture influences and a tribal sense of connected supportive community.

It feels amazing that AltPorn.Net has been covering all things AltPorn for over two decades now and we always enjoy the time of year when we can expand on the recognition and appreciation that all of our creative alternative erotica friends and crushes deserve.

This year, we’ve added a Fan Appreciation Day on Saturday May 31st, which is available with a more limited ticket, for those that want to meet their favorite creators and stars, as well as enjoying the exhibits and artists, without requiring the usual industry credentials. Please be respectful.

We would like to welcome Bad Dragon as exclusive Presenting Sponsor of the 2025 AltStar Awards, aka the AltPorn Awards. Since 2008, Bad Dragon has made it their mission to help bring fantasy themes to life with their toys. The wonderfully depraved and creative artists over at Bad Dragon are famous for their unique and varied custom colored fantastical silicone toys.

Bad Dragon is remarkable for always having a wide range of designs with a lot of in-stock toys, for when you just can’t wait, and also for a wide range of customization for size, color, firmness, and pour style, when you absolutely have to have it your way. The fantasy toymaker’s variety extends from dildos to strokers to packers to sheathes you can wear down there to accessorize that fursuit to their new award-winning ovipositors. Their desirable merch ranges from (Bad)Dragons & Dungeons blankets to coffee mugs which imply how much fun you had last night. Plus they just rolled out the cuddliest plush merch ever. Seriously, their new plushes of Duke and Janine and Rex and Sahleen are super soft and detailed. Yes, Bad Dragon lore is so developed that some of their toys have, not only art and back story, but an associated critter suitable for snuggling after using their incredible toys. We are thrilled to have Bad Dragon returning as sponsors for this year’s event.

We are so happy to have the opportunity to celebrate our awards with such an amazing live event again this year! We are expanding the whole celebratory weekend yet again with fun industry-only activities on May 29 and 30 and the new Fan Appreciation Day and Pro Penis Riders AltStar Expo afterparty on May 31. Then, on June 1, the 2025 AltStar Awards are taking place at the Swan Dive venue in the Downtown Las Vegas Arts District. We have red carpet arrivals, stellar media covering the event, killer gift bags stuffed with treats from Bad Dragon, Chaturbate, Zinetastic, Wandering Bard, Dark Asteroid Pretty, Nothosaur, LoyalFans, AltErotic, Bazowie, BarelyEvil, GothicSluts, Joystick.tv, SexyFandom, Blue Blood, Hankey’s Toys, MessyHot, Shrine, and many more! Our co-hosts are once again Jeffrey Damnit as Master of Ceremonies with Malice McMunn as the Trophy Goddess, handing out awesome cut-crystal awards, and 2022 and 2024 Best Modern Burlesque award winner Angel Beau with a special performance! Great DJ’s, open bar, and a big after party!

Murdos and Teenie started Wandering Bard with a desire to live in a world where uniqueness is embraced, body positivity is encouraged, and sexual happiness is celebrated.

They collaborate with other indie creators in a community-minded way. In fact, the fisting toy CeelCee Dragon’s Unarmed Strike was cast by ShopDad and CeelCee at last year’s AltStar Expo and AltStar Awards and Wandering Bard stepped up to actually make it into a product.

Not only this, but ShopDad and Wandering Bard collaborated with us to add a new category to the AltStar Awards, to acknowledge the contributions of 3D Asset Design artists who are such an important part of the indie toy creation process. We love their attitude and are excited to have their support.

The 2025 AltStar Awards will be announced live in person on June 1 at Swan Dive in the Downtown Las Vegas Arts District at 1301 S Main St, Las Vegas, NV 89104. AltStar Awards tickets and hotel room block booking are now available. (Nominees, past year nominees, and press please use the contact form to get your free Industry VIP ticket code.)
