LOS ANGELES—Anna Claire Clouds took her place among a storied group of performers in January, accepting the crown for Twistys Treat of the Month.
“Receiving this type of recognition is exactly that, a huge honor that puts me among some of the most respected talent in the industry,” Clouds tells AVN of the monthly title that first was introduced in August 2005.
“To even be considered in the same category as the elite veteran performers featured as Twistys Treat of the Month is a huge accomplishment, but to start off the year with a company I’m proud to represent is the icing on the cake!
“To say the least, I’m beyond excited to be a part of the Twistys family.”
To commemorate her Treat of the Month title, Clouds starred in a glittering photoshoot in which she donned sexy green lingerie in one set and a form-fitting, shiny gold dress in another, ringing in the New Year with class and style.
She thanked the director/stylist Lea Lexis and photographer JT for their dedication to making the images the best they could be.
“Lea and JT put so much creative flair into the shoot—from picking a location that perfectly fit the theme to custom tailoring the metal golden dress I wore on the spot to fit my body like it was made for me and only me,” Clouds says. “Lexi, the makeup artist, made sure each look was flawlessly depicted, coming between shots to fix even the slightest out-of-place hair.”
Anna adds, “The entire crew put so much energy into making this shoot something special, and the product we created together shows our hard work brought to life.”
The Nashville native—who is a 2024 nominee for AVN Female Performer of the Year among other AVN Awards—says the entire Twistys crew is among the best in the business.
“They are one of mine and many other performers’ favorite crews to work with simply because they are wonderful to be around,” Anna continues. “So this day was everything I could ask for and more!”
Clouds left nothing to chance with her Twistys Treat of the Month scene, selecting the sensational Laney Grey as her dance partner.
“I could give so many reasons why I chose my co-star Laney Grey,” Anna explains. “The obvious, of course, is she’s a sexual icon and a true bisexual performer that loves to please and be pleased by women.
“But the less obvious… she’s one of my closest friends in the industry. I met Laney before even shooting my first scene at my first AVN.
“We hit it off from the moment we met and kept a strong friendship since then. So I basically got to fuck one of my best friends and knew it would be a show-stopping scene! Laney was the best choice and I’m so glad we could get her for this shoot!”
Clouds will roll into Las Vegas this month with a total of eight nominations for the 41st annual AVN Awards on Jan. 27. She will contend for Best Actress - Featurette, Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene, Best Anal Sex Scene, Beat Foursome/Orgy Scene and Best Three-Way Sex Scene. She also is nominated in two different scenes vying for Best Virtual Reality Sex Scene - Group in addition to being a finalist for the biggest individual award of the evening.
“I can’t wait to see all my friends and colleagues together in one place for AVN!” Anna says. “As an industry, us coming together and celebrating each other’s accomplishments will always be an enjoyable experience for me.
“It’s the perfect way to start another year of incredible content creation for everyone to enjoy.”
