Adultcon has every right to pick and choose who to "allow" to rent booths at their convention. But when I hear they are deciding this based on who they think is pretty enough or mainstream enough, I don’t have to support them by putting up stories about their convention or who is appearing at it.
From what I’ve seen of their contract, transsexuals are not allowed at all, and girls must submit pictures along with your application so they can be judged height/weight appropriate.
That means that fans of T/S or Big beautiful woman or Big booty girls aren’t going to see THEIR favorite stars at the convention, because those stars weren’t ALLOWED to be there.
This makes no sense to me and smacks of discrimination. Are they not allowing effeminante gay boys who are 5’5 and weigh 110? I"m sure that is not height/weight appropriate for a man? Are they not allowing female models who are 5’10 and weight 105? That is also not height/weight appropriate.
I will say that Adultcon can run their business anyway they want. But when I feel that an important part of the adult community is being excluded based on Adultcon’s random standard, don’t expect to see anything else about their convention here, unless it’s an apology and a policy reversal.
hasn’t this tea cup storm already been fixed up?
Hi! I have a question/statement to add regarding the adultcon boycott. There are many girls in the business who are not biologically height and weight proportionate: alexis texas, luscious lopez, pinky, etc. I am sure if any of these big booty, vuluptious performers wanted to attend adultcon there would not be a problem. Being a performer myself, this is the utmost, blatant form of discrimination and I hope desiree files a lawsuit and finds vindication.
Please keep my name and email confidential.
Hi Cindi,
I read your article, and I didn’t quote it on my site because I…um…disagreed. In the State of California, Renaud doesn’t have the right to discriminate against big women.
For one, we have different civil rights laws here than the Federal government does, and for two, the Adultcon contract never specifies that performers have to be height/weight proportionate.
If Adultcon weren’t so cheap, it would have consulted with a couple of lawyers over the past 6 years to make sure they’re not breaking the law. And while on we’re talking about ‘cheap’ – Adultcon could have hired a real, “respected” publicist years ago as well. Most of the industry’s media outlets wouldn’t be boycotting Adultcon if it had.
I post an article and performer list out of respect to all of the performers and companies that are suffering through another Adultcon at this moment.
Your points after I flipped out are all legitimate, of course.

Con is in the name, think people.
I genuinely think the organization has that rule, because they think of the talent pool as people they potentially want to have sex with, hence the ban on TS and BBWs.
Luscious Lopez has been at a few Adultcons with no trouble at all.
