Congratulations to Hot House Exclusives Kyle King and Vince Ferelli on their Best Porn Star nominations in this year’s Cybersocket Web Awards! We couldn’t be more proud of our two Exclusive men, both of whom have turned in amazing performances this year. In addition to being nearly perfect specimens of manhood, both Kyle and Vince are as friendly and down-to-earth as they are hot.

Kyle’s extensive career began in the Backroom before he was quickly signed to an Exclusive contract. He debuted in King Size and has gone on to star in seven other Hot House productions. His all-American healthy boy-next-door looks and wholesome charm provide the perfect contrast to his preference for harder edged, rough around the edges sex.

Bodybuilder Vince comes to Hot House via the mid-West where he ran a kick boxing school. With five movies under his belt this chiseled sex machine has already caught the attention of fans worldwide!

Go vote for your favorite Hot House star today. We’re predicting a tie!

Taking place in February 2009, the Cybersocket Web Awards is the only event of its kind to honor the best LGBT websites. Each year, outstanding websites are recognized for their achievements in both “Surfer Choice” categories and “Industry Choice” categories. We feel that it is essential to honor these individuals and companies as being technological entrepreneurs, important agents of free expression and cultural change, and innovators in queer online media and entertainment.

No one was more shocked and surprised then Hot House VP and Creative Director Brent Smith who was inducted onto the Grabby Wall of Fame last Saturday night at the 2008 Grabby Awards! A few of us here at Hot House knew about the award, but somehow managed to keep it a secret! The highest of honors were awarded in recognition of Brent’s hard work running Hot House, specifically acknowledging Brent’s dedication to developing and defining the Hot House brand and managing the web development team to launch the Hot House Storefront 2.0, the Hot House Backroom, and the Club Inferno Dungeon.
