YNOT – Inari Vachs has been tapped to co-host the 27th Annual XRCO Awards ceremony, to take place April 13 in Los Angeles. Tom Byron will host the gala celebration.

Vachs recently embarked upon an adult entertainment comeback after leaving the spotlight for several years. However, she is no stranger to the X-Rated Critics Organization or to its awards: Between 2000 and 2002, she received four awards from the organization, including the 2000 trophy for Female Performer of the Year. In 2010, she was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame.

“We are thrilled to have one of our industry’s leading ladies as a co-host,” said XRCO’s Dirty Bob. “Inari has always been beautiful, classy and a perfect spokeswoman. She is the perfect woman to join Tom Byron on stage. And she’s a lot better looking, too.”
