If you wanted to feel the electric pulse of the alternative adult scene, Hollywood was the place to be for the recent 2024 AltStar Awards. Presented by AltPorn.Net and sponsored by the legendary Bad Dragon, the night wasn’t just about handing out trophies—it was a full-blown celebration of creativity, individuality, and the tight-knit community that makes the alt-scene thrive. The red carpet was on fire, and thanks to the incredible eye of photographer Rick Garcia, we’ve got a front-row seat to all the stunning looks and vibrant energy.
A Night for the Rebels and Renegades
The AltStar Awards have long been a beacon for performers and creators who operate outside the mainstream, championing unique artistic visions and authentic self-expression. This year was no exception. The red carpet buzzed with excitement as stars, nominees, and fans mingled, showing off styles that ranged from high-fashion glam to punk-rock chic. It was a visual feast that perfectly mirrored the diversity of the talent being honored.
Holding it all together were the evening’s incredible hosts, the dynamic duo of MC Jeffrey Damnit and Trophy Goddess Malice McMunn, who brought their signature charisma and energy to the stage for the fourth year running. Their passion for the community was palpable.
“Thank you for letting me be your humble host again for the @AltStarMag awards,” Jeffrey Damnit shared on his X account after the show. “So many incredible people I got to connect and reconnect with. My heart is so so full.”
Malice McMunn echoed the sentiment on Instagram, calling it an “incredible night” and saying, “So honored to be your trophy goddess for the 4th year in a row!”
The Man Behind the Lens
Capturing the magic of an event like this is no small feat, but Rick Garcia is widely hailed as one of the best in the business for a reason. His red carpet gallery isn’t just a series of photos; it’s a collection of moments, each one telling a story of confidence, camaraderie, and pure joy. Garcia, who you can follow on Instagram and X, has a knack for capturing the personality behind the pose, making you feel like you’re right there on the carpet with the stars.
Let’s dive into some of the looks from the night, straight from Garcia’s camera.
More Than an Awards Show
In an industry that’s rapidly evolving, with creators taking more control via platforms like OnlyFans and FanCentro, events like the AltStar Awards are more important than ever. They serve as a vital gathering point, a place to network, celebrate wins, and simply reconnect with peers in a space that feels supportive and uplifting. The show also featured a killer intermission performance by headliner Angel Beau, adding another layer of raw talent to the evening’s program.
The overwhelming feeling, shared across social media by attendees using the #altstarawards tag, was one of belonging. It was a sentiment summed up perfectly by the organizers themselves.
“Such a wonderful fun night with such a warm glow of community!” the official AltStar Magazine account posted. “Thank you to our sponsors and to everyone who came out and looked so gorgeous and stylish.”
The celebration continues online as performers and fans share their favorite moments. If you were there, don’t forget to post your pictures and tag @altstarmagazine on Instagram and @AltPornNet & @AltStarMag on X.
