For the first time ever, the 2022 HotMovies Pornament contestants voted amongst themselves to determine who would be their Miss Congeniality. The honor fell to quarterfinalist Cassie Cummings, who won a $300 donation to her chosen charity the National Center for Transgender Equality. We sat down with Cassie to talk about her win and why it’s more important than ever to support transgender people in America.
JH: Congratulations on winning Miss Congeniality. How does it feel?
CC: I’ve been nominated for awards in the past, but I’ve never been in a competition-competition where I’m involved and actively teaming up support and getting people excited and advocating for myself to win, so it was very exciting for me and I really enjoyed the process.
Can you tell me about your charity, the National Center for Transgender Equality, and why you chose them?
A lot of people may not be aware right now, but there have been over 100 bills passed in various states just this year to limit medical support for trans youth specifically. There have been bills passed to limit sports for trans youth and it’s really disheartening to see the country take a turn towards rejecting us. We’re citizens just as much as anyone else, we deserve the same rights as everyone else. Trans rights are human rights. We are human, and just to see the state of the country moving in that direction, it’s very disheartening, and so I think there was no other charity for me to pick. This is such a really important time for us to support trans rights, and for me, it was obvious I had to go with the Center for Equality.
Yeah, that’s one of the reasons why I was so excited that you won Miss Congeniality just ’cause everything that’s going on and it sucks, and I’m glad that we’re able to help you to support them.
I appreciate it, and I am so proud, so proud that I was able to get even just the runner-up equivalent to them, because every little bit counts.
And this was the first year that the Pornament contestants voted on Miss Congeniality amongst themselves. Why do you think you earned the most votes out of everyone?
That’s gonna be hard to say. Part of what I do online isn’t just engaging fans, but I also wanna engage my peers. It isn’t quite the same as civilian life, but in the porn industry, there is some stigma against trans performers. And so I’m consciously working to create a space where they can engage with me in safe ways to learn about the work that I do, my lifestyle, and to normalize myself. Not everyone that I worked with has had problems with trans people in the past or overcoming some sort of transphobia, but I like to engage with as many people as possible because I want to be just a normal part of the community. I don’t wanna be seen as a niche or a fetish performer—even though I try to shoot fetish clips, that’s a totally different story. Trans people are not different, trans people are not others; we belong in spaces. It’s a common thing you’ll hear me saying, but I’m just trying to be the best I can, be as nice as I can, make as many friends as I can, because I think that’s gonna be the way to engaging my peers in a way that kinda puts trans people on an equal footing, even if it’s not for me.
Do you think of yourself as a positive, congenial person in your day-to-day life?
Yeah, absolutely. I’m constantly smiling and trying to have a good time, turning bad times into good times, and I’m told I give excellent hugs. [laughter] Yes, I definitely try to live that in my personal life as well.
I think I already know the answer to this question, but if you weren’t competing in Pornament this year, who would you have been rooting for?
I did have a few friends in the competition, and luckily I wasn’t paired up with any of them because that would have been sad, but let’s see. I mean, my partner was in the competition, so I feel like I have to pick her; Sydney Screams was also in the competition, and I absolutely would have thrown my entire support behind them as they competed as well. Luna Sapphire was in there, big fan of Luna’s. Lady Lazarus was there. There’s just so many great performers that managed to make it into the Pornament, and I would have easily had a vote for every match up.
Yeah, I thought we had a really good group this year. You guys were all so great. So, do you think you’ll compete in Pornament next year? Can I bring you back?
[laughter] Yeah, absolutely, I’ll compete. I’ll compete again next year and I’m gonna bring an even bigger fan base.Yes! And you have your own studio on HotMovies.
I do.
What kinds of videos can we expect from Cassie coming down the pipeline?
I literally have 120 videos on the internet at the moment, and I am working on getting them all on HotMovies. I obviously do hardcore performing. I’ve also done some fetish performing in the foot-fetish realm. I’ve done vore. I’ve done blueberry inflation. [chuckles]
Like Willy Wonka?
Exactly like that actually, yes, exactly like that. So I have a large mix of things that I’ve done, and I’d like to get them all on HoMovies because it’s just a really great platform for me.
What’s your favorite kind of content to film?
I really enjoy hardcore, I just find it very natural for me. Some of the fetish stuff that I’ve done, I’ve struggled with a little bit because I don’t fully understand it. Like the blueberry thing, I get what I’m doing and I made it, and it’s great, but that’s not my kink. So it may just be a one-off thing, but I really enjoy doing foot-fetish content. Giantess has been a lot of fun as well.
What’s the craziest custom video request that you’ve gotten that you can share with us?
[laughter] There was a custom that my partner and I got, and it all centered around a magic tea, and the tea was bimbo tea. Right?Of course.
Of course. So we drink the tea, became bimbos, and what he specifically wanted us to do was to blow raspberries on each other’s tummies and butts, and then do drum rolls also. There is very minimal sex in that custom, it was all raspberries and drum rolls.
That’s kind of cute though [laughter]
It was fun, especially with my partner.
Yeah. Awww. What makes you feel sexy?
Well, a nice pair of lingerie for sure. I really enjoy leading up to the sex in a scene with palpable lust. If you can see the hunger in my eyes or my partner’s eyes, I really like showcasing that. Shooting gonzo scenes is fun and it’s easy, but there’s no passion to it. I’m not very good at coming up with story lines, but I really enjoy having a little bit of lead up.
That sexual tension, right?
Yes, I really like having that.
That’s super hot. What do you like to do in your free time when you’re not being the fabulous Cassie Cummings?
Well, I’m always fabulous.
Of course.
I actually play quite a bit of Dungeons & Dragons on Monday nights. I am involved in a sex-worker game that we stream on Twitch, and I’m sure you’ll see me talk about that on my Twitter. I also play Destiny 2, and harass my cat ’cause she’s always asking for food. [laughter]
Are you playing Elden Ring? I know that’s the game that all the gamers are playing right now.
I am not in that, I’m very interested in it. I just do not have the time at the moment.
What D&D character are you playing right now?
Well, I’m currently in two campaigns. One is a Paladin and then Monday nights for the sex-worker campaign, I am playing Elegans; she is a celestial Druid.
And you’re shooting today, right? What are you gonna be filming?
I am. I am filming with Joey’s Foot Girls and we are doing foot content.
Any final words for your fans at HotMovies?
I am so thankful for the support that they give, be it through voting in the Pornament or just viewing my content, because seeing those minutes viewed every month, seeing all the time spent with me is such an honor. There’s so many beautiful models on HotMovies, there’s just so many talented producers and studios, and I’ve only been doing this for 16 months, and so…
That’s it, really?
That’s it, that’s it. So to be where I am and to be in the circles that I am and to have the opportunities that I get, it’s such an honor, and I wouldn’t be able to do any of this without the fans who support me.
