It's Stormy Leather, Jessie Lee, ME!, Brian Street Team, Misti Dawn, Nate Liquor, Sparky, Cadence St John, on the red carpet for the AVN awards show.We take these red carpet things very seriously.

UGGGGGGH now where do I even begin? This seems to happen every year--from my birthday to the middle of January just flies by. I barely get enough time to get excited about my birthday, or New Years... and the AVN expo comes and goes, and then I get sick for a few days... and then I want to do nothing but sleep for a few days and then life starts over again. Hmm. What can I say about AVN? I don't really know. It was great meeting all you fans who came out. For the first time at this convention I really felt like part of this "game"and not just like a girl playing dress-up. Unfortunately, I don't have any exciting stories to tell you. I woke up every morning at 7am, got my makeup done, did interviews, signed autographs for a while, then went to some kind of business dinner and did some kind of appearance/party at night. I didn't get drunk and black out, I didn't accidentally get married, I didn't get mixed up with any kind of mafia scandal, and I didn't win or lose any money at all. This Vegas trip was nothing like the Hangover or Oceans 11. Maybe next time.

I feature danced my first night in Vegas at The Velvet Lion, and Vinne Paul from Pantera was there! Back when I was a full-time stripper I used to dance to Pantera's "Walk" all the time. Seeing him there made me feel like everything was coming full circle--Pantera used to get me in the mood to show my boobs, and now I was showing Pantera my boobs. Crazy. Too bad I did not get to show Dimebag Darrell my body parts before he passed away. I am determined one day to put one of my pornos on his grave.

Well here is me, Vinnie Paul, and his assistant whose name I can not remember.

I only found a few photos of myself from the actual AEE convention- some nice people on twitter gave me some!

here is me and @TAYSTEVENS

and here is me and @seandps

and here is me and @brianstreetteam in front of a very large photo of my butt. I think my over-sized ass pic is making Brian Street Team a little uncomfortable- while it is making me extremely overjoyed!!!

We had a party at the Playboy Club at the Palms Casino and that was quite interesting. The wall of the club had photos of Playboy models everywhere--and they mixed in photos of me and the BurningAngel girls that night. It was quite funny to see photos of ourselves amongst Holly Madison and Kendra um... whatever the hell her last name is from the Girls Next Door. DJ Jess came out and DJ-ed the party so the music made me feel right at home--no fist-pumping douchey club music. The crowd was kinda odd--a mixture of some BA fans, and uh.... a few Senators. No- a Senator is not a cool new hipster term for someone with a certain kind of hat or mustache- I am actually talking about people who work at the Senate. I'm not sure what states they were from but they were very keen on flirting with Jane all night. All this fun came to a sad end when DJ Jess took a photo of Jane's nipple and

she got thrown out of the club. She actually got thrown out of the hotel, not just the club! A few years ago in Vegas I remember getting kicked out of the lobby of the Venetian because I was wearing a hoodie that said "Fuck Off" on the back. Sometimes people (those people include me) forget that Vegas is inside of Nevada--a very red state where people do not believe in curses--or nipples. So yeah, if you go to the Playboy Club in Las Vegas and get all riled up and want to show the world your nipple, think twice! Go to the bathroom and flash yourself in the mirror to get your rocks off. As far as I know--I think that is still allowed.

Here are a few photos from the party before all that nonsense happened:

Here is Jane right before she got kicked out!! How sad. She was having fun!

And then there was the actual awards show.Before I begin my story- here are a few photos of me and James Deen and the girls getting into the limo to go to the show. Sorry if you don't think limos are punk. I don't know how else to get 10 people to travel together in Vegas.

 

Well, to start off, I wore the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn to the show. Now, I wear uncomfortable shoes quite often, but these were far worse than any other pair of uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. I blame my funny faces on the red carpet on those shoes. After I was done walking the carpet, well, I sat down... simply because that was all I could do. Several people asked me to go to the bar with them and grab a drink and I politely refused because I was completely unable to move from the chair I was at. I was honestly worried I wouldn't be able to walk across the casino to go to the actual awards show once it opened. Yes--they were that bad!! So I explained my problem to Cadence, and she told me to take some chewing gum and stick it in the shoes. I was pretty desperate and did have a whole pack of gum in my bag so I immediately took some out and began sticking it in my shoes- in front of the entire porno industry. I must have stuck about 30 pieces of gum inside each shoe- and well- it totally worked! I felt very odd... I mean, throughout the night I basically felt like what it feels like to be barefoot and step on freshly spit out gum on the street but, that was a lot better than feeling like someone was hitting your toes with a hammer all night. I would like to take this time to thank Cadence for that tip, and I would like to thank Trident gum for being there when I needed someone. Now the insides of those shoes kinda look like

the bottom of a high school desk, but whatever. It was worth it.

Here are a few photos from the red carpet:

Me and Dave Attel- he hosted the show this year. He talked about me on Howard Stern once and referred to me as "that Jewish chick- Angel Jones." I was in the middle of telling him this and then someone snapped a photo- hence why it looks a little awkward.

Here is the cutest couple in porno- me and James Deen

I have the best girls ever.

Here are all the fans who were ogling the red carpet. Hellooooo fans!

Here is the sexy version of the BurningAngel girls on the red carpet. It's all the same girls and boys who were listed above- with the addition of CoCo Velvett (to the right of Sparky) and... unfortunately I don't know the name of the girl in between CoCo and Cadence. I think she was one of CoCo's friends. But she sure was hot so I am glad she was in this photo!

and here I am- you can't see the uncomfortable shoes but they are there!

Aside from that, well, I lost all my awards. It kinda sucked. I was pretty sure we would win something this year considering that we were nominated for 18 awards.... but we did not win anything. To make it even worse, for some reason AVN decides to only announce 5 out of the 15 nominees at the show before announcing the winner (and they show short clips from these five movies), and we were not mentioned for any award except for the "web starlet of the year" award. It was annoying! It almost felt like we weren't nominated at all. The evening basically consisted of AVN showing clips from the same 5 movies all night for every category and it was a little ridiculous. I know we made some great movies last year and I am very proud of them. I am not leaving porn any time soon so I have plenty of time left in my career to win awards. As long as you guys like my movies that is really all that matters.

A little over a year ago an all-boys religious Jewish college requested to have me on their college radio show. It was kind of scandalous--I had to sneak into the building because females are not allowed in there. Later in the year they sent me an award in the mail for "Best Guest." I just got a text message from one of their hosts and he told me they are re-naming the "Best Guest" award the "Joanna Angel Award of Excellence", because apparently no guest can ever hold a candle to me. So whoever wins it every year will basically be second place to me. I think they give this award out later in the year and I volunteered to call into the show and announce the winner. I have no idea how to listen to this show or where it can be accessed. I'm pretty sure that just the people in the school can listen to it. So whatever--AVN may not love me, but there are like 18 boys at YeshivaUniversity who truly know how to spot talent when they see it!!

Thank you again to all the fans who trekked out to Vegas and paid the overpriced entrance fee to the convention just to see me. (picture some violins playing and shit) You all make me feel like I am winning an award every day!!!
