LAS VEGAS—Alex Knight says the moment felt “really big.”
The MyFreeCams model known as OnlineGirl_ teamed with 11 of her fellow CAMStars—and AVN Media Network CEO Tony Rios—to cut the ceremonial ribbon Wednesday, signaling the official start of the 2024 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo on the world famous Vegas Strip.
“I felt very honored,” Knight, the November 2023 CAMStar, said. “I kind of feel like when we cut the ribbon we’re opening the door to all the people who were faithfully waiting for the whole year.
“You only see them online and now we get to finally meet them in person and greet them.”
“I have goosebumps… I’m really excited about it.”
Indeed, a parade of some of MFC’s finest lit up the entrance of the Events Center as Kasara Wood, BabeAriel, Crystal Creeps, Ivy Grace, Emma Starseed, Natalia Rae, Goldie Fawn, ItsKylie, HelloViv, ItsLo and Kristie Bish dressed to impress for the occasion.
“It was super exciting to be there with all the other CAMStars—it just felt kind of iconic,” said BabeAriel, who graced the cover of the August 2023 issue.
“This is my second AVN. My first one was in 2020, so it’s been a minute.”
BabeAriel teased an upcoming “cheer tip war” on MFC that gets underway at 3 p.m. PST Thursday and will feature three different groups of girls going head to head.
“It’s going to be a huge tip war tomorrow,” Ariel added. “So I’m streaming today and tomorrow and I have photoshoots and stuff on the other days.”
The March 2023 CAMStar Kasara Wood told AVN that when all the girls realized they would be doing the ribbon ceremony this year that they decided to talk about it.
“I felt very privileged to be included with all these amazing women and we put together a group chat, so I think for each of us it felt very special—like a special moment of sharing big accomplishments that we all do individually and then we come together and are celebrated like this,” Wood said. “What an opportunity to be included in this experience.
“It’s overwhelming… But my fans are everything to me and they’ve definitely pushed me to get here and they’ve embraced my art and creativity. And I feel so passionate about what I do that it makes me want to get up and be a better person every day that I get to spread a little bit of joy to people’s lives.
“I’m just excited to be here.”
Wood took part in the 2024 AEE ad campaign that features signage and banners all over Las Vegas this week.
“I’m excited to be part of the campaign with all the girls,” Kasara continued. “Like being in it with Angela White, this is where I want to be—influenced and inspired by people who are cultivating the life that they want. And inspiring other people to do the same.”
ItsKylie, the May 2023 CAMStar, told AVN she wasn’t expecting the big media turnout for the ceremony.
“It was awesome,” ItsKylie said. “It was a lot, I wasn’t expecting the one-on-one shots which was kind of nice to give us our moment to be individuals.
“We’re all friends, all the CAMStars this year. We had a group chat going and we were like coordinating our outfits for this. We were really excited.”
This year marks only ItsKylie’s second AVN Show and she already has fans coming in just to see her.
“Someone came from Australia,” Kylie revealed.
The July 2023 CAMStar HelloViv traveled 16 hours from her new home in southeast Asia for the week’s festivities, telling AVN being part of the opening ceremony was a rush.
“I felt pretty overwhelmed but in a good way though,” Viv said. “I thought it was really nice to be involved in such a big thing and I didn’t see myself as such a big deal. I feel like I come from humble beginnings.
“So to be involved in something like that was really lovely. I was a bit nervous but everyone was super friendly.”
The AVN Show presented by MyFreeCams—which features more than 400 exhibitors representing every area of adult entertainment and appearances by hundreds of adult stars, cam girls and creators—continues through Saturday afternoon.
