HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Brielle Day and Emily Bloom will co-host “Model Madness: The Ultimate Tip War Tournament” for cam models on MyFreeCams (MFC) beginning March 1. The tournament will be styled like March Madness with a bracketed system.

“Model Madness” starts March 1 and will end in the middle of April. The first round will begin with 64 models who will go head-to-head in one-hour tip wars. From there, winning models will advance weekly until a final winner is crowned.

“MFC members are an integral part of the competition as they support their favorite models competing in the tip wars and watch the losing models participate in silly punishments, like a pie to the face, wear silly costumes, and more,” a rep said.

In addition to extra tips, models who make it past the first few rounds will receive MFC prize packages. The champion will also take home a trophy.

“I decided to do ‘Model Madness’ again this year — it’s my way of giving back to the community by helping to support models who are struggling with the pandemic and need a push to get back into the swing of things. I’m giving them an outlet for networking and making new friends while helping them hype up their chatrooms. Encouraging their creativity is a great feeling,” Day said.

“I especially love helping the newer models who have never done an event like this before. And I’m so grateful that Emily Bloom will be assisting me because it’s a lot of work behind the scenes to pull off a successful event,” continued Day. “She’s wonderful to work, with and it’s nice to be able to work together, sharing the tips and tricks we have learned over the life of our careers.”

LOS ANGELES — Vixen Media Group (VMG) has inked Brad Armstrong to an exclusive “six-figure contract collaboration” that begins with “Love Triangle,” which goes live Friday on Vixen.com.

The six-month deal, which formally begins in May, includes “at least three big-budget scenes produced for the VMG brands,” noted a rep.

“Armstrong is a legendary player in the adult film industry, with more than 30 years of experience as a performer and 26 as a director — notably for his many award-winning contributions on behalf of Wicked Pictures,” the rep said. “His new deal with VMG marks a profound continuation of his legacy as an inspirational filmmaker for a new generation.”

Armstrong said his new venture was an unexpected career twist.

“I was pretty sure my career as a director was over,” he recalled. “Gone were the days of big-budget features. I was on my way to retire on a secluded beach in the Bahamas and just as I was packing my last suitcase, Steve and Mike at VMG reached out.”

“I had an incredible relationship with Steve Orenstein at Wicked Pictures that spanned 25-plus years. Those memories will always be nearest and dearest to me, but looking forward, I’m excited to see what this new chapter with VMG brings and can’t wait to get started on some amazing new projects for 2021.”

“Love Triangle” centers on exclusive performers Avery Christy and Naomi Swann in a fencing competition that includes the women vying to score points with their exacting coach (Mick Blue).

In addition, Armstrong has already filmed “several sizzling scenes” that will debut in the coming weeks across the VMG brands.

“We are excited to bring Brad into the VMG director lineup. After a thorough vetting with our creative team, he had the balls to print out every industry award he’s ever won, drop it on the table, and told us all to go fuck ourselves,” VMG Executive Producer Mike Miller said.

“We love this guy.  And we think the fans will, too,” added Miller.

TOKYO — During a press conference last month, Tenga announced the “Tenga Rocket Project” in partnership with Japanese space development startup Interstellar Technologies (IST).

According to the company, “Tenga Rocket Project” is a project in which Tenga will fund the launch of IST’s ballistic observation rocket “MOMO,” alongside the sale of multiple cross-collaboration items as part of a larger launch promotion to be sold on Tenga’s Japanese e-commerce sites and in multiple pop-up shops across Japan.

Tenga explained, as part of the project, a Tenga-shaped message pod carrying 1,000 messages from crowdfunding supporters will be carried in the rocket and jettisoned into space. Additionally, Tenga’s mascot “Tenga Robo” and its partner mascot “Egg Dog” will be ejected from the rocket into space, eventually to return back to earth — which the company says, if successfully retrieved, would be a first for a privately owned business outside of the United States.

A Tenga Cup-shaped tracking device also will be loaded inside the rocket to accumulate data on the conditions in space for the company to use to develop a sex toy that can be used in space.

QUEENSLAND, Australia — In the wake of Texas’ unprecedented blackout crisis that has left nearly 3 million people without electricity during the state’s biggest ice storm in years, Geeky Sex Toys announced that it is re-releasing its Game of Moans: Night-Kink dildo for a limited time and donating 100 percent of proceeds to disaster relief.

“With millions of Texans struggling to stay warm amid power outages and more extreme winter weather on the way, the situation on the ground has grown more desperate over the last few days,” the company said. “Last year our Geeky Sex Toys community stepped up and helped raise money when Australia was burning, now let’s see if we can do it again to help raise money for those currently suffering in Texas.”

The silicone dildo is handcrafted and features icy white shades randomly blended with blue, making each dildo 100 percent unique.

LOS ANGELES — Bellesa and its Bellesa Plus streaming service have announced the launch of its BIPOC Creators Program with a monthly budget of $20,000 to support and empower content creators of color.

“People, and women in particular, have been craving content to which we can relate: storylines that feel authentic, characters with which we can empathize, and most importantly, sex that looks and feels real,” noted a company rep. “No fake orgasms, no male gaze, no problematic storylines. As women, we want to see ourselves portrayed as we really are — as subjects of pleasure, not objects of conquest. A large part of that — of seeing ourselves reflected in this content — relies upon seeing people who look like us on the screen.” 

“The unfortunate reality is that much of the adult content shot by studios with performers of color, even in 2021, is fetishized and problematic,” the rep added. “This is the outdated reality of the adult industry. But the content exists. And we want to highlight it. We want a lot more of it.”

The BIPOC Creators Program will allow creators to “do as they choose” and the content will be co-owned by Bellesa.

“They can hire other performers, bring in camera people, hire lighting, that’s entirely up to them,” the rep explained. “The goal of the BIPOC Creators Program is to empower creators of color to make the content they want to make, by equipping them with the resources needed to make it. We want to do this in a way that is most supportive to the creator, which is why this content will be co-owned by Bellesa and the creator themselves. Creators are welcome to also use this content on their personal platforms and monetize it however they’d like.”

The over-arching goal is to bring more content that is “representative of what our Bellesa community looks like into the world. We want to support and highlight the work of the amazing BIPOC creators in this industry and promote real representation on Bellesa, without the fetishization that runs rampant in mainstream porn.”

Bellesa and Bellesa Plus invite BIPOC performers who create “amazing, ethical content that prioritizes female pleasure” to apply at contact@bellesa.co.
