ASA AKIRA announces she is the newest Wicked Girl at the 2013 Sex Awards

Wicked Pictures and its acclaimed creative team were rarely out of the spotlight last week. From Hollywood to Florida’s Gold Coast, the production powerhouse earned major accolades while welcoming Asa Akira to its family of exclusive contract stars.

With three-time AVN Best Actress and emerging sexual wellness authority jessica drake taking center stage as host, the X3Sixty Network, InsideAdult.com and AVN presented The Sex Awards October 9th. Described as “the first fan-based awards show to be broadcast on national TV,” the gala event took place at the Avalon in Hollywood.

Asa Akira dominated the evening by winning three major awards. She and jessica drake won Porn’s Perfect Girl/Girl Screen Couple, and she went on to snare both Adult Movie of the Year and Porn Star of the Year.

She capped off her three-peat by announcing that she had signed an exclusive performing contract with Wicked Pictures. Reflecting on it all, Akira observes, “Out of all the awards I’ve been lucky enough to win, the Sex Awards are particularly special to me. First, because they were voted on by the fans. Secondly, I was given the green light to announce my Wicked contract on stage if I won Porn Star of the Year – which I did! And third, jessica drake and I won Porn’s Perfect Girl/Girl Screen Couple. We’ve done two scenes together so far, and the chemistry between us is crazy. I’m glad the fans agree!”

The evening was just as impactful for Ms. drake. “I knew it would be an amazing show! I really enjoyed hosting the night and it only got better when I won Porn’s Perfect Girl/Girl Couple with our new Wicked Girl! I was impressed by the professionalism of everyone involved and I can’t wait to see the show on national TV. I’m grateful to Paul Fishbein and Wicked Pictures for this great opportunity!”

The acclaim continued Sunday night, October 13th as Wicked received several trophies at the 21st Annual NightMoves Awards in Tampa, Florida. Celebrated in style at the Tampa Gold Club and hosted by industry luminaries Ron Jeremy and Misty Stone, the star-studded soiree saw the company and its talented collaborators receiving some of the evening’s top honors, including the coveted NightMoves First Choice Award, which recognized the overall quality and excellence of Stormy Daniels’ compelling adult drama Wanderlust.

Kudos continued to come Wicked’s way throughout the evening, with Brad Armstrong, creator of such 2013 epics as Underworld, receiving the Fan Choice Award for Best Director – Non Parody. Edwin Lee, the gifted gonzo director whose Wicked releases have been earning both brisk sales and critical raves, deservedly earned Best Cougar/MILF Release (Editor’s Choice) for Cougars vs. Kittens. Turning to other categories, longtime industry publicist Daniel Metcalf received the Adella Award for “work behind the scenes” and Wicked Pictures was honored with the Fan Choice Award for Best Production Company.

Stormy Daniels, AVN award-winning Wicked Girl‚ writer, director and star of some of contemporary adult entertainment’s most acclaimed features, is pleased to announce the release of Wanderlust starring Rilynn Rae. This compelling Wicked Pictures drama arrives in DVD stores nationwide this week.

A tall and curvaceous product of the American Southwest, Rilynn brings grace and grit to her role as “Riley.” As Ms. Daniels’ saga begins, a series of bad choices, a less than desirable home life, and a recent brush with the law have 19 year-old Riley desperate for a way out. With dreams of a better life, she heads to Hollywood only to discover that what glitters is not always gold.

Disillusioned, she packs her bag and takes off once again. Will Riley find what she’s looking for, or will she be just another statistic on the boulevard of broken dreams?

Shot on location on the mean streets of Hollywood, Wanderlust finds Ms. Daniels pulling out all the stops to give couples maximum value for their adult video dollar. Authentic locations, intense sex and dramatic tension fill the screen with passion while a literate screenplay imbues the story with an edgy cynicism. The performances are first-rate throughout, with Rilynn’s fine work complemented by excellent performances from Bailey Blue, Christy Mack, Brandi Aniston, Dani Daniels, Lyla Storm, Alec Knight, James Deen, Michael Vegas, Richie Calhoun and Steven St. Croix.

Beyond the fine performances and high production values, the excellence of Wanderlust is evident in the care put into this high-end DVD release. In addition to the 16×9 widescreen HD feature, the disc includes a sensual still gallery, motion menus, Wicked Pictures trailers and no less than three bonus sex scenes. And it all comes encased in a deluxe gatefold sleeve that showcases Ms. Rae’s haunting beauty.

A place for dreams. A place for heartbreak. Wanderlust. Join Rilynn Rae on a sexually charged quest for love, lust and redemption in a city where life can move from tranquil to tragic in a heartbeat.
