LOS ANGELES — Cherry.tv has rolled out a new feature for models designed to facilitate the creation of referral links for tracking their user referrals.

“Thanks to this new feature, Cherry.tv models can now conveniently create referral links in their dashboard,” a rep explained. “Referral earnings will then show up together with models’ streaming income, so it’s easy to keep track.”

“Anytime a new user registers for an account on Cherry.tv through a model’s referral link, models will earn a percentage of everything that user spends on the platform,” said the rep. “Models may also earn a $100 commission for referring another model to the platform.”

Business Development and Talent Manager Zuzana Kasinski noted the feature was developed from “many conversations at industry conferences and from listening to individual model feedback.”

“I realized that models are looking for certain features on cam platforms,” she continued. “They like to be rewarded for new user referrals, and they also want to earn commissions for referring other models — which, of course, makes sense. We want our models to know we recognize their hard work and effort, and that’s why at Cherry.tv we treat them as our business partners in every possible way.”

LOS ANGELES — Pablo Cortés and Sebas Cortés (aka PabloySebas), reigning XBIZ Cam Awards win for “Best Cam Model Duo,” are donating all proceeds from live cam shows, through September 30, to assist in recovery efforts following a volcanic explosion on the island of La Palma, which neighbors the island of Gran Canaria where the duo live.

They plan to assist with recovery efforts as soon as they can safely travel to the island.

LOS ANGELES — ANME and XBIZ are joining forces to host the first-ever hybrid trade show for the retail industry, set to take place virtually and in-person at the Marriott Burbank hotel Jan. 10-12, 2022. 

CalExotics, Doc Johnson, Nasstoys, Penthouse Lingerie and Satisfyer are the returning Premier Sponsors of the event. 

The ANME/XBIZ Show, originally held as a virtual-only event in January and July of this year, brings together the best of each organization’s signature event format, offering an expansive slate of exhibitors and the opportunity to participate in scheduled one-on-one meetings.

With safety being the top priority for event organizers, the show will be hosted with stringent COVID-19 protocols based on the latest California regulations. 

The new hybrid event format offers vendors and buyers more options for participation. Vendors can choose between in-person booth and hotel suite options — which also includes tickets to the XBIZ Honors dinner and awards ceremony and the 2022 XBIZ Awards — while also taking advantage of scheduled virtual meetings with international buyers. 

Vendors also have the option to exhibit virtually only, with all vendors given the opportunity to enlist for up to 30 pre-set meetings.

Qualified buyers may participate in the hybrid ANME/XBIZ Show for free by contractually committing to fulfill their meeting obligations. Buyers that are unable to attend in person can opt to participate virtually, with the most prolific buyers qualifying for up to $1,000 in prizes and incentives, and a standard $200 gift card for fulfilling their meeting obligations. 

Attendance of the in-person event also includes the opportunity to attend a slate of educational seminars and happy hours.

SAN FRANCISCO — Peter Acworth, the founder of Kink.com, has announced a return to the company as CEO nearly four years after stepping away to focus on personal projects.

Acworth intends to “reimagine the company for a new, performer-centered fan market.”

“Twenty years ago, Kink.com helped pioneer the idea that performers were the most important voice in production,” he said. “Today, we’re living in a world where performers not only control who they shoot with and what they shoot, but they often own the content. I wanted to return to a more active role so that I could guide the company in this new era, and reinvent the company to serve those creating the content.”

A rep noted Acworth founded the company in 1997 while a graduate student at Columbia University.

“Under his leadership, Kink.com became the largest adult producer of BDSM and fetish entertainment in the world, as well as a leader in ethical, consent-based production,” said the rep.

In 2018, he appointed longtime employee Alison Boden as CEO to run the company’s day-to-day operations.

“I want to thank Alison for leading the company during the last three and a half years,” Acworth said. “She is someone I respect both personally and professionally, and I wish her well. But the truth is, I missed being at the helm of the company I built, especially at such a transformational time for the industry.”

The founder plans “big changes, including moving aggressively into creator content, livestreams and products and services. Many kink and fetish creators have struggled for attention among the flood of generic fan site content.”

“We’re a company that’s always believed in serving performers,” Acworth added. “I see Kink.com as a company that can help creators reach that global kink audience while simultaneously helping fans find the best kink and fetish creators in the world.”

NEW YORK — Jasmin St. Claire guests on the latest episode of Holly Randall’s “Unfiltered” to discuss her new solo show, “A Weird Kind of Fame,” which she’ll perform tonight at The Cutting Room in New York.

The show documents her sudden rise to infamy in 1996, when she “earned her place in American shock culture after appearing in the ‘World’s Biggest Gangbang 2,’” a rep said. “Her outlaw rockstar image landed her many appearances on Howard Stern’s television and radio shows as his highest-rated guest in the ’90s.”

In addition to her solo show, St. Claire also talks to Randall about her life after the adult industry as a wrestler, heavy metal VJ and mainstream actor.

“I really enjoyed talking to Holly, she’s very smart, very classy and very pretty,” St. Claire said. “I haven’t done an adult industry interview since I left, all those years ago, so this is very special.”
