Looking Back at My Fave Halloween Look in Wet Ink!

It’s a spine-tingling thrill to tell y’all I’m in this month’s Wet Ink magazine talking about my favorite sexy Halloween photos!

When Wet Ink asked me to pick my favorite Halloween-themed photo shoot I’ve ever done, at first, I wasn’t sure I could ever narrow it down. I’m a huge horror girl at heart, so I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve fallen in love with a Halloween set!

But then my heart remembered this deliciously macabre dinner party scene Ashley Lake and I shot last October, which I still think is some of our best work. I was feeling inspired by horrific baddies like the icon Morticia Addams, so I wanted to create a sense of tension between feeling repulsed and fascinated – though by the time my dress came off, I think I knew where most of my fans would land 😏

Go check out the new issue of Wet Ink to see everyone else’s hot picks, and a whole Halloween cookbook section of our favorite seasonal recipes, too! (You definitely don’t want to pass up my pumpkin cinnamon rolls!) I’m super happy to be a part of these features alongside so many other great creators who put their own spin on Halloween every year.

And speaking of which, make sure you keep your eye out for my own frightful plans later this month…!

The Role Of My Dreams: Salomé Wraps In London !

I have some huge news to share with you all today — I just finished shooting Salomé in London with the incredible filmmakers at Four Chambers!

Salomé is based on the Biblical tale of the granddaughter of Herod the Great, who’s often credited as one of the earliest progenitors of erotic dance. I’m not kidding when I say it’s one of my favorite stories ever told! Salomé has been played in past films by stars like Rita Hayworth and Jessica Chastain, and I already adored Claude d’Anna’s 1986 adaptation for his wild and sexy aesthetic, so I’m beyond thrilled to step into that tradition! Stripping is an art form I’ve been passionate about my whole life, and being able to inhabit some of its earliest roots in this narrative I already loved so much felt like coming home in multiple ways at once.

I’ve shot some solo material for Four Chambers in the past, but it was an absolute dream to work with them on a full-length project — not to mention one of my first on-camera threesomes in years! I had a great time on set with my costars Dante Dionys and Axel Reigns, and I learned so much about the craft from Vex Ashley while she was directing us. This was a valuable experience for me as I gear up to fully launch Studio Vanniall later this month. I’m bursting with ideas about how to take our projects to the next level!

Check out more about our Salomé film on XBiz, AVN, and EMM Report! I’m proud of what we accomplished during this shoot, and I’ll be sure to let you know when it officially premieres, so watch this space!

New Studio Vanniall Film Coming Soon: “The Cowboy and the Rose” with Viktor Belmont!

I’m so excited to announce The Cowboy and the Rose with Viktor Belmont, a new scene I directed coming soon from Studio Vanniall!

Cruising scenes are always a lot of fun to shoot, and lend themselves to spontaneity, but Viktor’s gruff-but-goofy cowboy persona had me giggling from the start of our first take. We built the rest of our narrative around that contrast — I thought of it as a collision of hard edges and softness, and the space we carved out in that explosion was beautiful! Playfulness is such an important part of how we express sensuality, and I love working with performers like Viktor who know that a little silly can be very sexy.

This is also one of a series of forthcoming projects we shot on our new Fuji movie cameras, and I’ve been loving the color we get out of them! They really brought out a lushness and vibrancy that adds so much to the intimacy of the scene. I can’t wait for you to see it all come together (pun totally intended)!

The Cowboy and the Rose will be available on Studio Vanniall’s launch day! You can read more about the scene on AVN, XBiz and EMMReport, and make sure you’ve signed up at StudioVanniall.com!

I’m on the Cover of XBIZ Creator World Magazine!

I have some very exciting news to share: I’m on the cover of the August 2026 issue of XBIZ Creator World Magazine!

2026 has been a big year for me. I’ve been honored to take home three awards, been featured in The New Yorker, continued building my own projects and productions, and made some of my favorite work to date. Now I’m adding another magazine cover to the list.

Being featured by XBIZ Creator World feels like a celebration of everything that has been happening around me lately: the performances, the awards, the press, the collaborations, and the increasingly ambitious projects I’m putting into the world.

And yes, I’m extremely pleased with how fucking good this cover looks. We produced it ourselves at Studio Vanniall and I have to say that the team we’ve built is killing it!

Thank you to the XBIZ Creator World team for putting me on the August cover and for recognizing the work I’ve been doing as a performer, creator, and force of nature.

You can read the August 2026 issue of XBIZ Creator World Magazine online here — and click the thumbnails in this post to enjoy the full photoshoot!

“Boi Hunter” is Heading to France!

I’m excited to share that “Boi Hunter” will be screening this August at L’Araignée Festival in Toutry, France!

“Boi Hunter” has been selected for the festival’s “Ni vu ni cul nu” program, a screening series celebrating queer sexualities, sensuality, and porn cinema. Just reading that description made me feel so happy – this is the exact kind of home I hoped this film would find!

With Fox, Ashley, and I collaborating to make “Boi Hunter“, it was always going to be unabashedly queer. The film is horny, it’s funny, it’s playful, and it’s just damn sexy T4T goodness. There’s no awkward plot explaining gender for a mainstream audience; we exist and we fuck on our own terms!

That’s one of the reasons this particular festival selection is meaningful to me. L’Araignée is an entire festival, a broader artistic and cultural space where queer erotic films can be appreciated by the very people whose experiences they may portray and reflect.

As I’ve continued making films, now as Studio Vanniall, one thing has become really clear to me: I want to create work that embraces real sensuality without compromising on personality. Whether a film is tender, romantic, absurd, or delightfully over-the-top, I want it to feel like it was made with intention and joy.

“Boi Hunter” is one of those films. It makes me giggle every time I watch it – at least for the first part! – and I hope audiences in France have just as much fun with it as we had making it.

If you’ll be attending L’Araignée Festival this August, I hope you’ll come see it — and if not, thank you for continuing to support the wonderful naughty films I love bringing into the world. Every festival screening is another reminder that there are audiences looking for exactly this kind of art, and I’m so grateful to be able to share it with you all. 💖

Want to watch “Boi Hunter” online? Check it out on OnlyFans, ManyVids, Clips4Sale, or YourVids!

“Ships in the Night” Is Headed to BLUSH San Francisco!

I’m so happy to share that “Ships in the Night” has been selected for the 2026 BLUSH San Francisco Porn Film Festival!

The film will be streaming as part of BLUSH’s online Cruising/Connection program from August 2 – 16, alongside some of the hottest films and performers I’ve ever seen! Damn!

“Ships in the Night” feels like an encapsulation of everything I love about making porn. It’s intimate and sensual while staying unapologetically horny. It’s built around the chemistry between two people sharing a moment they’ll never quite be able to recreate. And as Studio Vanniall continues to grow, this is the direction I want to keep exploring: creator-driven films that are intensely erotic.

That’s also why being selected by BLUSH means so much to me. The festival celebrates adult film as a creative medium, recognizing that porn can be cinematic, personal, and deeply human. It’s exactly the kind of space where a film like Ships in the Night belongs!

I’m so grateful that “Ships in the Night” gets to continue its festival journey, and I can’t wait for more people to experience it! If you’d like to watch the festival from anywhere in the world, online passes will be available beginning August 2. I hope you’ll join me, and discover some incredible films from the rest of this year’s lineup, too. 💖

Another Way to Beat the Heat: Jet Skiing!

Miami heat is no joke, but I found the ultimate way to cool down! Join me for my very first time jet skiing in the beautiful waters of Florida as I face my fears and experience a serious adrenaline rush! 🌊☀️

The experience was intimidating at first but ended with lots of laughter and great memories! You can watch the whole thing on YouTube or coming soon to OFTV!

A Pinch-Me Moment at EXXXOTICA

I don’t think anything could have truly prepared me for seeing my own face on a giant EXXXOTICA billboard. 😭😂

The convention is over and I am running around packing up and saying my goodbyes. I’ll have a recap for you soon, but for now, please marvel along with me at this!

If you missed me in Minneapolis, you can catch me the upcoming EXXXotica events! I’ll be at EXXXOTICA New Jersey on October 23-25, and EXXXOTICA Miami on December 4-6, so make plans to visit me at my booth! 💋

“Ships in the Night” is a Pick for Pride!

Following its launch on Pink Label, “Ships in the Night” is also presented as one of the “New Queer Vanguards” in the Pink Label blog, “25 Films to Watch for Pride“!

Seeing “Ships in the Night” included in a collection like this feels like the work is being recognized not just as entertainment, but as an important contribution to queer and trans adult cinema. I have always wanted to challenge expectations and make space for perspectives that are still too rarely centered on screen. To have that effort acknowledged alongside so many incredible films is an honor. I truly believe this is the kind of work that helps push adult entertainment forward, and I’m deeply grateful to see it recognized as part of that conversation.

And as a reminder: you can join PinkLabel here – or check out “Ships in the Night” on OnlyFans, ManyVids, Clips4Sale, Fansly, or Hidden!
