Who will win Best International Escort of 2008? We’ll find out at Rentboy.com’s 2nd Annual International Escort Awards Show now officially called "The Hookies" in Los Angeles for the first time on Saturday March 22nd. The people’s choice awards are being given in 11 categories covering all aspects of the oldest profession as presented in the newest media. The Awards will be presented by Rentboy.com and hosted this year by comedian and recording artist Jonny "The Gay Pimp" McGovern.
This year’s awards process began on Rentboy.com back in December, 2007, where satisfied customers and admirers chose from their favorite escort listings online to nominate them for the contest. In January, 2008, the escorts with the most votes were made finalists in these 11 categories: Best Bottom, Best Top, Best Fetish Escort, Most Versatile, Sexiest Escort, Best Pornstar Escort, Best Escort Agency, Best Personal Escort Website, Biggest Dick, Best Rentboy Ad, Best Bodyworker, and Best Overall Escort. Online voting will continue right up until the night of the contest at www.rentboy.com/awards.
We are recognizing some of the biggest and freshest pornstars in the business onstage as nominees this year at Club Rage: Diesel Washington, Jonathan Lowe, Jake Deckard, Barrett Long, Andy Lopez and more, as well as many newcomers to the spotlight. This event is about promoting these gorgeous men and the skills they bring to being the top erotic performers in the industry.
Around the world, when men on the internet look for the services of a professional male escort or masseur, they turn to Rentboy.com. Founded in 1997, Rentboy.com was the first and reigns as the largest male escort website, making matches between men and its 72,000+ “working boys” in 160+ cities around the world. The International Escort Awards is Rentboy.com’s way of recognizing, applauding, and showing respect to the thousands of escorts and masseurs who put their effort, courage, and skill into the underappreciated escort industry every day.
Escorts and bodyworkers are frequently stigmatized in the press, yet these courageous and skilled men provide an invaluable service, helping clients make meaningful physical contact, explore their fantasies, emotional needs, and desire for companionship. Rentboy.com has long been an advocate for a person’s right to do what he or she likes with their body. We constantly reinforce the message that escorts should be proud of the services they provide and not marginalized or made to feel inferior to someone donning a suit every day and trading pork belly futures. (www.rentboy.com/rentboymanifesto) Today is the day we say come out and celebrate a unique occupation and above all be proud of how far we have come.
Onstage at Club Rage in Los Angeles, the awards will be presented by Jonny "The Gay Pimp" McGovern, Angel Benton and a bevy of well known porn stars. The emcee, Jonny “The Gay Pimp” McGovern is a recording artist, comedian and TV personality. McGovern’s most recent album is 2007’s Gays Gone Wild, and he is a star of LOGO channel’s The Big Gay Sketch Show. Next up, Just-Us-Boys magazine columnist Angel Benton will get personal with the nominees, and hot well-known pornstars will hand out the trophies.
