Stephanie, welcome back—and congratulations on being named our July 2026 Cover Model of the Month!
When we featured you in December, you talked about approaching your career with a long-term vision, including investing $24,000 into tattoo removal because you wanted to expand the kinds of opportunities available to you. Six months later, you won Best Female Performer of the Year at the AltStar Awards, appeared at EXXXOTICA, and earned several more major award nominations.
For readers catching up with you, what does this moment feel like, and how has Stephanie Love changed since we last sat down together?
Since we last sat down together, I’ve been working on my tattoo removal. I’ve done six sessions on each arm. I go in every three weeks, and it’s painful, but slowly they are starting to fade. It’s going to take many more years. At least five to six years, but it will be worth it in the end. For now, I just put a lot of makeup on my neck tattoo to make it less visible.
And yes, I won new awards recently. I won Inked Clip Creator at the XMA awards, and I won Female Performer of the Year at the ALT Star Awards.
It felt so incredible to hear my name being called. I had a slight feeling I was going to win because my Facebook fans care so much about me when it comes to award show season. They will vote for me every single day to make sure my name is called when I get all that stage. I even have a list of all my Facebook fans that I think of when I want a Female Performer of the Year.
June brought a huge career moment when you were there in person to accept Best Female Performer of the Year at the AltStar Awards.
Awards can look glamorous from the outside, but they also represent years of work that most fans never see. What went through your mind when your name was announced, and what did winning that award mean to you personally?
Has recognition like this changed the way you think about where your career can go next?
When my name was announced, honestly, all I could think about was the videos, which sounds so silly, but I like making sure I get good videos of my wins. That night I hired her photographer, who unfortunately did not show up. So, my biggest concern was making sure that the girl next to me, whom I asked to film, got a good view of my butt walking onto the stage. Being a content creator really takes precedence in a lot of important moments of mine. Unfortunately, making sure the video is done well is almost just as important as winning the award to me.
I won Miss Congeniality at the NightMoves Awards in 2024, and I don’t have any videos of me winning that award, and it still upsets me.
I’ve now decided that every award show I’m going to be flying out a certain photographer to follow me around with a video camera. He’s reliable, and he will never no-call, no-show.
But once I got on the stage, I could barely breathe because I was so ecstatic. I had a long list of Facebook fans that I had to think of, and of course I had to thank my publicist Erika and my date that night, Bad Bella.
It was a big moment in my career to really feel like I’m appreciated for all I’ve done. I’ve spent a lot of sleepless nights, starving myself and flying across the country while stretching out my ass just to film scenes. I’ve injured myself and had a few hospital visits after anal scenes. I’ve put so much into my career that I’m truly so grateful that my hard work is being recognized.
From here, I only hope to continue to win more awards. I’m nominated for three awards for the Urban X Awards coming up in August. And then I’m also nominated for the NightMoves Awards in October.

We recently wrote about your EXXXOTICA appearance and argued that conventions have become much more than meet-and-greets—they’re places where creators turn an online following into a real-world brand.
After actually being there, how do you see events like EXXXOTICA differently? What happens between the fan photos and public appearances that people online never see?
And with EXXXOTICA New Jersey already on your calendar for October, how important have these face-to-face experiences become to the Stephanie Love brand?
I’ve been going to EXXXOTICAs for three years now, and yes, they are a lot more than just meet-and-greets. After the expo every day, we get to meet up with fans at after parties that the hotel usually throws. I love dancing with fans and getting to know them. I also truly love taking photos with them at the expo.
I was a little disappointed this year at the Minneapolis EXXXOTICA just because they had so many rules and restrictions, including dress codes and no lap dances. My favorite thing to do is dance on fans and get freaky with them, so it’s really sad to not get to shake ass in their face.
I also like to only wear a pair of pasties in a tiny little tea string thong, but we stick to the dress code and wear bras, and we’re not allowed to even show under boob or any butt. Because of this, I don’t think I will go to any Minneapolis EXXXOTICA anymore, but I will still attend Miami, New Jersey, and Chicago.
I’m really excited for EXXXOTICA, New Jersey. This will be my fourth year going, but it will be my first year being one of the features at Club Sapphire. So that’s really exciting for me. I’ve never been featured during an expo until now.
Next up is the Urban X Awards on August 16, where you’re nominated in three categories: Hottest Female Inked Star, Most Amazing Ass, and Most Popular Alt Model—an award you previously won in 2024. You’ve also been nominated at the NightMoves Awards, with another major weekend coming in October. L
At what point do individual nominations and appearances begin turning into something bigger—a recognizable career and brand?
And when you look at everything happening right now, are you intentionally planning how one opportunity can lead into the next?
To be honest, awards and nominations are really only for bragging rights. I’ve won six awards now, and they haven’t really changed my career in any way, shape, or form other than I get a brag that I’ve won six awards. It hasn’t changed the thing for me otherwise.
But I love winning, so I’m never going to stop trying and working my ass off to win every award that I’m nominated for.
It’s really important that I just keep networking and putting myself out there. You never know when you go to a party, and there’s going to be somebody there who will get you a scene that will change your life. Unfortunately, awards just don’t really do that.
But sometimes one small opportunity could lead to a bigger opportunity, so I pretty much say yes to every opportunity I’ve been given in this industry.
