SAN FRANCISCO—Gay adult content studio Falcon|NakedSword, has officially unveiled the full lineup of contestants, celebrity judges, and sponsors for the third annual Mx. Pineapple Pageant.
The event celebrates diversity and self-expression as some of the industry’s adult film stars compete for the title of Mx. Pineapple 2022 while raising money for PineappleSupport.org, a nonprofit dedicated to providing free and subsidized mental health services to the adult industry. Previously produced as an exclusively online event on the NakedSword platform, this year’s competition marks the first time the pageant has been brought to a live stage. Doors open at 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at HEART WeHo in Los Angeles. Due to the generosity of presenting sponsors Falcon|NakedSword and Mr. Man, the event is free, although donations to Pineapple Support are encouraged.
Returning to host the pageant are Falcon|NakedSword creative director Sister Roma and NakedSword Originals lead director Marc MacNamara. The duo will be joined by a panel of celebrity guest judges that includes RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars favorite Morgan McMichaels, the "undisputed queen of WeHo" Rhea Litre, Falcon|NakedSword Exclusive Max Konnor, and Miss Pineapple 2020 Gemini Dai (Dakota Payne). The live show will also feature an appearance from Miss Pineapple 2021 winner Sinna Moon (Jay Seabrook) and the talents of DJ Chi Chi LaRue.
“I’m so excited to bring Mx. Pineapple LIVE to West Hollywood where people appreciate good sex and good drag,” says Mx. Pineapple creator and host Sister Roma. “We smash them together for the sexiest pageant ever devised—and it’s for a great cause. Come out, bring your dollars, and root for your favorite performer. It’s gonna be epic!”
Competing for the coveted title of Mx. Pineapple 2022 are Va'Chyna Banks (Calvin Banks), Boline (Beaux Banks), Serenity Dai (Adrian Hart), Sir Vaein (Taylor Reign), Tara Dactyl (Jack Hunter), and Bambi (Liam Riley).
“Falcon|NakedSword was the first major gay brand to partner with Pineapple,” says company president and CEO Tim Valenti. “In fact, I was so impressed with their services I joined their board. I’m proud to produce creative, out-of-the-box fundraising events like this but we couldn’t do it without our industry sponsors. I’d like to thank everyone who contributed to this year’s show and I’m ready for a wild night! I hope to see you all there.”
Joining Falcon|NakedSword and Mr. Man in bringing the event to fruition are Platinum Sponsors Chaturbate, Flirt4Free, SayUncle, Fort Troff, and Next Door Studios, along with Gold Sponsors BelAmiOnline, Cybersocket, TLAGay, MENatPLAY, GayVN, Peter Fever, AEBN, Doc Johnson, and the Free Speech Coalition. 100 percent of the net proceeds from this year's event will be donated directly to Pineapple Support.
For those unable to make it to the live event, the entire event will be recoreded for NakedSword.com.
