Erika Lust's XConfessions Touts 'Historic' XBIZ Europas Nomination

LOS ANGELES — Estella Bathory, Luna Corazón and Natassia Dreams are celebrating their "historic" joint 2020 XBIZ Europa Awards nomination for "Super Femmes" from Erika Lust's XConfessions.

"This is the first time in XBIZ Europa Awards’ history where a BBW performer or trans performer were nominated in a non-genre specific category, representing a noteworthy accomplishment for Bathory and Dreams, XBIZ and growing inclusivity within the adult industry," a rep exclaimed.

Bathory enthused about her XConfessions experience.

"I absolutely loved working for Erika Lust, who I really admire as a director, and with both of my incredible co-stars,” she said. “As a performer who has, until now, been confined to the 'BBW' category, I am truly ecstatic to be nominated within a mainstream XBIZ category for the first time in my career and for my hard work to be recognized in the same category as so many legendary mainstream performers."  

“Whilst I have been very lucky to do various mainstream jobs as a queer plus-size performer, the reality is that my career has involved many doors being shut in my face and I have had to be relentless and work twice as hard," she continued. "I want companies to know that I am here, I have a lot to offer and I am determined to continue breaking the mold. I am ready to be booked in Europe and the U.S.A." 

Dreams echoed Bathory's enthusiasm.

"This was one of my favorite movies that I've done in my career. I got to work with two beautiful people and we had the freedom from Erika to do what we wanted sexually," she said. "I am extremely proud that we were nominated — this the first time in my career as a transgender woman that I have been included in the lesbian category — and I am so excited that we are making history."

Corazón jumped at the chance to represent "real diversity" onscreen.

"When they told me that I would be a superhero, I immediately got so excited,” she said. “However, what caught my interest was when they told me I would be interacting with both a trans model and a BBW performer. Then I knew that it would be historic! In mainstream porn, it is rare to have real diversity, especially represented with good, empowering connotations. I am proud of having these ladies working with me, we are moving more towards a reality in porn where diversity and equality walk hand-in-hand.” 

Lust explained "Super Femmes" was inspired by a sexual fantasy she received from a young woman who "dreamed about becoming a superheroine whose mission is to rescue all women who are living without cunnilingus."

"I immediately thought this was such a fun and empowering story to translate into a film. Being a woman doesn't have to do with what's in your pants nor being sexy with your body size," she said. "If you're familiar with my work, you may know that I've always strived to show and celebrate diversity in my films without fetishizing those bodies that don't fit into the ‘norm’ dictated by patriarchy."

"So what better cast than Natassia, Estella and Luna to smash it? These three powerful girls show us that being a woman cannot be limited to one narrow idea, and that we can be stronger together if we go beyond transphobia, fatphobia, racism and any useless and harmful stereotypes based on gender. Come join forces with the 'Super Femmes' for some real action against pleasureless sex. If you miss it, then the patriarchal villains will win!”
