The 2009 Grabby’s Lifetime Achievement Award honored Hot House founder and President Steven Scarborough last Saturday, May 23, 2009 in Chicago.  A stunned and slightly choked up Scarborough graciously accepted his award from Grabby organizers Mark Nagel and Stacey Bridges.  After complimenting the Hot House staff for keeping the award a secret he went on to praise his industry family, recognizing long-standing relationships with such people as Falcon Studios founder Chuck Holmes, Chi Chi LaRue, John Rutherford, Chris Ward and Kent Taylor.

The most sought after Grabby Award among rising young porn-stars is the Best Newcomer Of The Year Award.  “Receiving this award is an honor. I had my eyes on this award and this award only!” King said after accepting his award at the Park West Theatre in Chicago, Illinois last Saturday, May 23, 2009.  King shares the Newcomer Award with long time fellow star Cameron Marshall making it a hard decision for this year’s judge panel.  Many talented performers emerge every year in the industry; not surprising are the ones that come through the Hot House Entertainment doors.  Kyle King’s star shines bright in his many features for Hot House.  A worthy Hot House Exclusive that deserves his place in Award history.  The Northern Californian keeps the sun shining in his latest performance in Movers & Shakers due out later in July.

The ever-popular Men Of Hot House had fans and photographers lined up to say hello and get photos at the IML Leather Mart during Memorial Day weekend. The swanky downtown Hyatt was transformed into a hotbed of leather men shopping for the latest and greatest fetish wear and toys. Hot House teamed up with Manhunt.net to present four booths showing Hot House movies and four of our hottest stars, Exclusives Johnny Gunn, Ross Hurston, Ty LeBeouf and Francesco D’Macho.

Thanks to photographer Tball for these candid shots.

The Men Of Hot House are preparing to take over the IML Leather Mart this coming Memorial Day Weekend as part of the line-up of stars at this year’s International Mr. Leather (IML) Competition in Chicago. Hot House Exclusives Francesco D’Macho, Ty LeBeouf, Johnny Gunn and Ross Hurston will be on hand at the Hot House booth to sign autographs, chat with fans, and administer lashings to anyone misbehaving (and who won’t be?) The Men will also be appearing at the Grabby Awards on Saturday night where Hot House has a whopping 26 nominations.

Hot House will partner again with Manhunt.net at this year’s leather mart with the largest presence of any major studio. Brent Smith, Hot House VP and Creative Director, affirms “The industry has had to make some difficult cuts in promotional budgets this year due to the economic downturn. Missing IML was simply not an option – our fans have come to expect this opportunity to hang with our Exclusives; and we love the opportunity to talk with them at length and get a sense of how we’re doing.”

Fans attending the IML Leather Market at Chicago’s Hyatt Regency Hotel will find The Men Of Hot House at booth #951-955 from Friday, May 23 through Sunday, May 25, between 1-5 pm. As usual, The Men will give away free Showcase DVDs and autographed model cards and directors Steven Scarborough, Robert Drake, and Gabriel Cortes will be on hand to take your questions and special requests. Special pricing will be available all weekend long on Hot House DVDs, including new releases like Paging Dr. Finger and Red Hanky.
