Austin’s Sixth Street gets an adult-industry headliner this week: Amy Reid is coming to town for Pleasurefest, and she’s bringing three studio brands, a stack of DVDs to sign and a live radio Q&A along with her. Add burlesque, belly dancers and pole exhibitions to the bill, and it’s less a meet-and-greet than a full evening’s variety show with a porn star at the top of the marquee.
The headliner
This year’s Pleasurefest will be headlined by superstar Amy Reid as she signs autographed copies of her DVDs for fans and participates in a Q&A session with KLBJ 92.3’s very own Dudley and Bob.
Amy Reid will be at the event representing the Shane’s World , Hush Hush Entertainment and Voodoo House brands along with acclaimed director and performer Justice Young.
The event will be held this Thursday February 5th at Aces Lounge located on Austin’s famed Sixth Street.
Why studios sent stars on the road
Appearances like this were a core part of how the DVD-era business worked. A studio like Shane’s World didn’t just ship discs to stores and hope — it put its stars in the same room as the people buying them. A signing turned a customer into a fan; a radio Q&A on a local rock station put the brand in front of listeners who might never walk into an adult store on their own. And for the performer, a headline slot at a city festival was visibility money can’t easily buy — the local kind, where people remember they actually met you. We track plenty of names who built followings exactly this way in our performers section.
The Austin stop is a good example of the format at full scale: multiple brands under one roof, local media on stage, sponsors from the city’s lingerie and adult-retail scene, and a ten-dollar door charge low enough that curiosity alone fills the room.
The rest of the bill
The festival will also feature burlesque performances, belly dancers, dominatrix and stripping lessons and incredible pole dancing exhibitions.
Doors open at 7 pm and the show will go on until 11pm. The event is brought to you by KLBJ 93.7, Adult Video Megaplexxx, Cindie’s, Tabu Lingerie, Aces Lounge and VIP booth sponsors - Sinsations, Le Rouge Boutique, AAA News, Dreamers, and Forbidden Fruit. Tickets are available at the door for $10.
