XRCO Announces 2011 Hall of Fame Inductees

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) announced its 2011 Hall of Fame inductees today.

The stellar list includes includes Rayveness, Tricia Devereaux, Jessica Drake, Lynn Lemay, Juli Ashton, Aurora Snow, Dave Cummings, Manuel Ferrara and a Special Award for Peter Van Aarle.

Porn favorite Aurora Snow said, "I am honored by this accolade. I can't think of anyone to thank more than my fans and the critics who have supported my career."

“This is a fantastic class,” said Roger Pipe, XRCO Hall of Fame member.

He added, “Fans and critics alike know every name on this very well. Tricia has transitioned beautifully from dynamic performer to industry powerhouse. Jessica Drake is one of the most celebrated actresses in our business and a gorgeous woman. Of course I am very proud to see Aurora Snow inducted. She is a fantastic performer and a true fan favorite.”

XRCO’s Dirty Bob added, “It was incredibly hard to narrow it down to a manageable number of inductees. I am certain that there are more than a few deserving individuals who should be there. Perhaps next year...”

Van Aarle, who co-founded the IAFD.com and was instrumental in bringing a host of porn knowledge together in the early days of the Internet, received a special award for his contributions.

"To my mind, the four faces on the Mt. Rushmore of porn historians are Jim Holliday, Robert Rimmer, Patrick Riley and Peter Van Aarle," said IAFD.com’s Jeff Vanzetti.

He added, "In three of the cases, they wrote the book and Peter made a website instead.”

The 2011 XRCO Awards will be hosted this year by veteran performer, producer and director Tom Byron and will take place on Apr. 13 at the Highlands Hollywood.

Attendance is restricted to adult industry personnel and press only and admission is free. Attendees must RSVP to Tiki@Pipelinemultimedia.com.
