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 Instagram afterwards and have shared those below as well.

Jessie Lee

• First up, we have Jessie Lee. She appeared on many of the early alternative adult membership sites, including BrokenDollz, DeviantNation, StaggStreet, BurntFilm, and BombshellBrats. Her video work at BurningAngel was breakout performance after breakout performance. Her AltStar Award-winning turn as Wednesday in A Very Adult Wednesday Addams 3 and other BurningAngel productions made mainstream adult studios sit up and take notice at a time when heavily tattooed alt performers were just breaking through and her unique look and passionate performances helped make that happen.

I have been in the adult industry for almost 20 years. The longer you’re in it, especially as an alt model, the less you feel like you matter. Sometimes, fighting to stay relevant is all you can do. I went to the @altstarmagazine Awards last night to support my husband because he was nominated for male POTY (yay for him!). They started announcing Hall of Fame, and I was thinking to myself, “I wonder if I’ll ever get that.” Sure enough, @jeffreydamnit and @officialmalicemcmunn looked directly at me and announced that I was being awarded Hall of Fame!! The entire audience cheered so loud for so long!! I am still in shock and can’t believe that this is real! Thank you to everyone who supports me, and that hasn’t let me fade away into the realm of forgotten stars. I love you all. ?

Jessa Jupiter Flux

• Next up, we have trailblazer Jessa Jupiter Flux. She appeared on EroticBPM aka Raverporn and other early alt sites. Back in the days before OnlyFans, when membership sites about a specific model were called Solo Girl Sites, Jessa appeared on UndressJess.com which featured cosplay and cams before these things were a staple of alt online personas. She brought a level of content creativity and interactivity to her members that helped set the standard for future cam and fan site platforms.

Let the gushing commence! I can finally talk about how much this win means to me.

No, I didn’t win Best Premium Social Media Star (that went to the incredible @stephanielove.official—deservedly so!), but I did win something even BIGGER that I certainly wasn’t expecting: a Hall of Fame award from @altstarmagazine.

That’s right. Basically, a lifetime achievement honor for a lifetime spent making alternative content.

I’ve been doing this since the day I turned legal. From posting thirst traps on my old blog, monetizing video chats, teaching myself editing software, HTML & streaming 12–15 live cams from my apartment daily. My entire life has been performance. Art. Survival. Connection.

My fans supported me through grief, breakups, addiction & creative breakthroughs. Some even stopped me this weekend in Arizona to say they’ve followed me from the beginning. I felt it in their eyes. It wrecked me (in the best way).

This work taught me how to feel beautiful. How to legitimately ACT. How to connect. Things I helped pioneer in this space have been adopted industry-wide, with no credit—but #AltStar saw me. They always saw me.

So thank you, from the deepest part of me. I never fit neatly into one particular box, but you made me a Hall of Famer anyway.

Even when I’m on HBO someday soon, I’ll still be here, holding a camera. My flesh will always be something I share. Why? Because I love it here.

Full emo af story, you know where. ?

Angel Beau

• Angel Beau appeared on many of the early alternative adult membership sites, her artistic and tattooed image gracing GodsGirls, DeviantNation, Zivity, BlueBlood.com, GothicSluts, BarelyEvil, and Almost Evil Girls. At a time when heavily modified altmodels did not typically get to feature dance, Angel Beau created a unique signature style of alternative Vaudeville sideshow burlesque and went on to win nearly every possible top honor for dancing, include two time Best Modern Burlesque in the AltStar Awards.

Big huge thank you to @altstarmagazine for this amazing recognition!
This was such a huge surprise and honestly it has taken me a minute for this to sink in. Probably imposter syndrome making me feel i am not worthy of this award.
When jeffrey announced my name for this and started reeling off all these sites i had modelled for and cammed for i had to take a min to listen to all those names. Most of which id forgotten id even worked for. Props to whoever dug deep for those!
Now ive had a little while to let it sink in, ive realized just how much ive done over the years! To be standing up there with @officialmalicemcmunn who was my first ever stripper friend. And who was also inducted this year too! Was just a dream. And also it is an honor to be up in the hall of fame with names that have inspired me since i was young. Such as @masuimimax i miss her wisdom and friendship everyday.
Thank you for everyone whos ever supported my online work and my crazy shows. Its been so amazing to reach so many people. I may be retiring from feature dancing. But you can still catch me doing burlesque shows here and there in vegas.
Thank you so much. Im still pretty speechless. Wow. Thank you ????
Xoxo

Malice McMunn

• Lastly, we have Malice McMunn. Malice has been an icon of altmodeling for decades. A punk rocker who lives her life as performance art, Malice helped define the very concept of altmodeling. From her wildly popular MySpace profile, to dancing at Devil’s Point and Cheetah’s, to her tattoo magazine covers, to her appearances on BlueBlood.com, GothicSluts, and BarelyEvil, to her extensive music video work, to all the cosmetics and clothing brands she has modeled, Malice has always presented her bold, unapologetic spirit in a way which has literally helped define the alt genre.

I started working in the adult entertainment industry in the late 90s and even after getting sober in 2001 I continued working as dancer/ fetish performer/ alt creator living my most authentic life and doing what I love. I still dance here and there for some events and secret celeb parties, and I still do my best to support the community. I am so happy to see how far society has come over the years with acceptance of this kind of work although, we still have a long way to go, and I worry that the pendulum may swing way back as many conflate what us adults do consensually with those who are non consensually so I will continue to advocate for this community of often misunderstood misfits thank u to @altstarmagazine @realameliag @23blackcats for giving me this #halloffame award it was totally unexpected and I still don’t have the best words for moments like this but it was very sweet of yall and ty @jeffreydamnit for presenting it to me. I never expected it and now I realize I really have been around forever ?? thank uuu

She may seem undefended with her amazing chest piece and glorious breasts just there for you to take, but make no mistake: you are her prey. Like most predators, she will hunt you and lure you in, showing you her perfectly shaped legs and bending over so you can get a bit of a pussy peak but in the end she will pounce.

Her attitude, facial expressions and super banging body are her weapons and trust us, Malice knows exactly how to use them. You don’t trust us? Head on over to GothicSluts and try to resist the sexual power of this death rocking seductress.

Gorgeous hardcover coffee table book. A whopping 172 pages of deathrock gothic punk portraits with intense personality and viscerally saturated colors.

From the introduction: “Since the mid-1990’s, Forrest and I have been setting up full blown location studios in all sorts of unlikely and underground places. We’ve set up lights and backdrops in wind-blown theater parking lots in the middle of the night, while bands played their shows, in co-ed strip clubs, and crammed behind the pool table in the back of noisy dive bars. Sometimes it’s a real challenge, but this is how we shoot our personal work. We like to capture the moments in their real environments. For this compendium, we chose only images which were actually shot in California. Some of the deathrockers in this volume grew up here and some are transplants and some were just passing through. Forrest and I had a lot of debates, while hunched over a contact sheet with loupes in hand, over whether a particular photo was really more deathrock or more Gothic, as we needed a methodology for honing down what to share. When we started shooting, there were very few photographers who would ever shoot anyone gothic or punk or tattooed or pierced or fetish and the few who did approached the subject matter in a gritty unattractive purely anthropological manner, like they were going to the zoo. We wanted to create respectful and celebratory work. We wanted to capture the joy and tribal sense of community which we experienced in the various subterranean worlds we documented. We wanted the flamboyant beauty we saw to resonate with other people the way it did for us. We wanted the people we photographed to look the way they looked in our minds’ eyes when we recalled the excitement of nightlife at midnight.”
