The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) has chosen Ninn Worx contract starlet Jana Jordan as the official Heart-On Girl for its 23rd annual awards show, scheduled for April 5 in Hollywood.
The Heart-On Girl presents the heart-shaped trophies to the winners, according to XRCO co-chairman Dirty Bob. She has traditionally been chosen from the ranks of the newest starlets with the strongest potential to be X-rated stars.
Jordan is so new there are still no movies with her on the street. Yet she's appeared on the covers of such publications as Hustler, Rockstar, Barely Legal, Live Young Girls and Spin, and was recently named Penthouse Pet of the Month.
The industry-only XRCO event will be the first chance for many in the adult business to get a gander at the blonde Texas native in the flesh.
"Trophy girls are sexy," Jordan said through her publicist. "I'm so happy to be the Heart-On Girl for the XRCO. I have to thank them for this honor."
The term Heart-On comes from the XRCO's heart-shaped trophy, which derives from the fact that for its first six years the awards show was held on Valentine's Day.
According to Jared Rutter, the original XRCO chairman, now a senior editor with AVN, the very first Heart-On Girl was Amber Lynn, in 1985. She was followed the next year by Nina Hartley. Both went on to become adult movie legends.
Other Heart-On Girls over the years have included such superstars-to-be as Kylie Ireland, Jewel De'Nyle and Tera Patrick, each of whom came back to host the ceremony in later years. Patrick returns again this year as co-host with hubby Evan Seinfeld.
