The New Porn Order, Club Summer Haze Productions, and Pr Nikki have announced a special online memorial to the respected individuals of the adult business who have died.
"The Fallen Stars of X is an opportunity for all of us to share in honoring the memory of those in the adult industry who have made an impact and helped pave the way to make the industry what it is today," said spokesperson Nikki Hart. "We don't often take the time to remember or recognize these individuals, and the Fallen Stars of X was created to achieve just that. It is a celebration and tribute to the memory of those without whom the industry would not be as successful as it is today."
The first four members chosen will be unveiled on Friday, Feb. 23, in a special tribute at the Sex and So Much More Show in Denver, Colo. The ceremony can be seen live via an exclusive broadcast on PrivateFeeds.com, "where we provide a biography of the individuals being honored, along with their own section on the website. We are also placing the names of these individuals on the X Rated Superstar Championship belts we had produced," said Hart. Joining in the celebration will be Haze, Stephanie Swift, Shayla LaVeaux, and Brianna Love—along with some very special guests.
"We called on the advice of respected individuals such as Mike South and selected four outstanding people for our first tribute," added Hart. "The choices were endless, but after careful consideration and much thought, we finally came up with four exceptional people for our initial ceremony. We are very confident that we have made a good decision, and we are extremely proud of this project."
The Fallen Stars of X will take into consideration all members of the adult community, "from stars to directors and everything in between—including behind-the-scenes personalities who made an impact," Hart explained.
Craig Valentine, one of creators of the tribute, said, "We are going to continue to select individuals who have made a difference and host memorial tributes to them at various shows around the globe. We will place the names of the inductees on our championship belts until they are full. We debated on choices for a long time, as we want to ensure we honor the best. "We rely on knowledgeable members of the adult industry to provide us with names and reasons to aid in our selections," Valentine continued. "Fans will have a say in future inductees, as we value and respect their opinion. We are working on completing the website where people and industry members alike will be able to voice their opinions."
Currently, the tribute's creators have not yet determined how many inductees will be inducted each year.
